About the role: As a valuable addition to our dynamic team, you will collaborate closely with our VP of Engineering, along with a talented group of frontend and backend engineers, and dedicated product managers.

- Engineering Manager, looking for candidates with previous experience in coordinating product managers, developers, well-managed experience with deploying code

in the movie, they bring up the mission requirements at low altitude render a certain tech of the new gen planes useless under the scenario because of its dependence on radar iirc

in real life the decision behind avoiding 5th is because most of the information about the planes are still highly classified, ie there is no full feature spec of 5th gen planes available, so no way united states military would let them film a plane

A couple of months ago, I got a Apple M1 and a lot of these electron apps load much snappier. (Slightly impractical fix)

Sure, the row in the database is instant though.

I agree it is a feature for a bank to be able to undo mistakes. The problem happens when a bank commits the mistakes and refuses to acknowledge it.

This is akin to all of us submitting to google and gmail, its great unless our account gets flagged by an algorithm by mistake. No mistake, i would be screwed.

Disorganized management won't magically get fixed if the root problems of ASAP, priority, techinal debt, etc features aren't fixed.

The fact that the organization was trying to combine two large monolithic codebase into one is an obvious smell that technical decisions are made by someone non-technical.

If they were reasonably interested, VCs won't say no - they just pretend to not see your emails until someone is about to lead a round.

I think your points were valid when cryptocurrency first started, but now it's now a bit too entrenched to be easily squashed.

1) Many miners use renewable energy. China uses a bit of coal for mining, but recent news (or FUD) has most miners scrambling for "greener" energy. Bitcoin's energy usage is talked about quite a bit, but doesn't seem to really dissuade.

2) If Bitcoin had been started by a large organization versus grassroots - this likely would have been squashed. Instead, considering now how widespread it is, and how many politicians own crypto, along with Coinbase being affluent enough to lobby against this - this scenario now seems unlikely. However, I do agree, there will be a fight for monetary control and it may be ugly, but ultimately cryptocurrency will survive in some way or another.

3) Yes - in the beginning, the vast majority of crypto in was used for illegal reasons. Monero is probably a better use case as it's untraceable. Bitcoin has a public ledger making it much easier to track. However, the percentage of overall transactions (crypto) for illegal activities has decreased over time.

USDC is probably the best bet of what you're imagining of a crypto pegged to the US Dollar. It also allows for a blacklist of addresses known in illegal activities.

With all that being said, DeFi may prove to be a larger use case, as it's now possible to create "virtual" banks that run on code and no humans, etc.

Business schools also acknowledge this when deciding who to accept/reject.

Let's say you take someone who has smoked daily for 5 years, and now for a day they can't smoke ... what do you think the results would show?

(Maybe not the fairest argument either, being online probably isn't as bad as smoking for your health).

A bidding war (probably) would be profit capture for those selling vaccines, but won't actually raise the amount of available (in the short-term).

Since most timelines are less than 2 years, the time to build a factory can be around that in the States (or even more).

At that point, you're using customer growth as your primary metric to investors and thus raising money.

Very useful for me now that I WFH and not a coworking space.

1) 19.50 is what the United States has agreed to pay. It's unlikely the same price point other countries can / are willing to afford.

2) Rollout may be harder than expected.

3) If some of the other vaccines work, no certainty of what would be picked.

4) Since the amount of people taking it now grow exponential fold - we may hear of unexpected side effects (hopefully not).

I found reading Boyd's biography, so much effort was made before decision makers would use his tactics, even when they were clearly superior.

Even board game like Go and Chess have experienced new and novel tactics from AI despite being much older, with lower barriers to entry. Inversely, dogfighting is new and the barriers to entry are so high its unlikely its close to optimal.

AnkiDroid is amazing. ~14k cards, so I've committed a lot to Anki.

Caveat: "Expected" does not mean fact. But it is understandable why investors believe this.

Many well-known authors (Stephen King, etc) build routines for them to write.

Technology and scaling are tough. Reddit, Twitter and CloudFlare have gone down in the last 12 months, despite being constantly stress-tested.

A bit of a self-post, but I've compiled a list of Anki tips I've learned and found. My deck is about 14,000 cards over the last few years - so I've learned a bit from my own mistakes :)

I've thought about this quite a bit and written about strategies and tips here: https://senrigan.io/blog/everything-i-know-strategies-tips-a...

A large part is also now using the proper visualization techniques (ie. using intensive memories, an anecdotal use case is I've memorized certain ideas behind neural networks by always putting them in a "closet"). This helps. Truncation of dumb cards is useful.

Another really important thing is just to delete an entire deck (which I've done), when I realized I frankly ... just don't care about the subject any more (in this case, music composition).

Sure, you could put the money in your safe at home, but security always has tradeoffs.
