So you have to pay for the hardware, and to access all the data generated by the hardware you then need to pay a service fee.

I'm not necessarily anti coding interviews, but somehow convincing yourself there is any degree of innate talent is a myth. There is a linear relationship between practice and performance. It's as simple as that. Some people are p

It will persist until civil unrest reaches unsustainable levels. Who knows when that will be and what they may entail.

I've been a software engineer for over 6 years and I still have to do 20+ interviews.

This is always where I land. If you fail try try again, with effort and critical thought. But I just can't meaningfully dedicate the time to making more money at the expense of all the hobbies and other past times I love doing so much.

Funnily enough I usually experience the opposite. I've worked with very heavy systems and very light systems, and I always find more stability with the really light weight stuff. Obviously there are more bugs at first, but once you go

Can't gauge if you're being sarcastic or serious honestly.

If it isn't their profession/field and they don't need the money either way. Yeah I would still consider it a favor. I pay the people who house sit and watch my pets, I still consider it a favor in addition to paying them.

Forgive my ignorance, but why is WeWork a PoS? I don't have much awareness on the situation.

Uber has been bleeding money for awhile now. What has kept them afloat is the fact that people keep using them and their fleet of drivers. But if people stop doing that, it's going to get real hairy for Uber and Lyft.

Hahaha life is exceptionally easy for people in the US. I had no idea working 2 service jobs and living paycheck to paycheck was the good life!

I was confused when I initially went through the patent and got caught up on one specific part. If you bothered to even open the patent they're incredibly cryptic and IANAL. Here is part of the claims section, starting around "pgs

All I said was things don't add up. If anything we agree in some regards?

How does a disease that's close to 3x more contagious than the flu stop at 80k people in the densely populated cities of China? The current numbers are the ones that don't add up. Even John Hopkins estimates up to 500k cases in th

Sure but lets not lose sight of the problem here, which is the system's severe abuse. Regardless of if it's a pandemic or not. Though arguably if a company went ahead and leaped into action and saved millions of lives, when the pa

Unbelievable. This was the patent they were able to get. It comes with graphs describing an "architecture" of their "unique" medical device. Patent #8,283,155 "Specifically, the present invention provides portable m

I honestly don't believe people that aren't disabled that don't work or do anything should receive free money in the form of a handout. I.e. you don't get a refund if you aren't paying taxes. I'm all for reduce

We're in an area with high confirmed #s of infected and we have full time WFH employees. I'm preparing to leave and already have an interview with another company.

Fair but you just completely ignored the second half of my comment. Instead of handing out money, don't take it in the first place?

Yet my software company refuses to even let people do voluntary WFH. Amazing.

The whole idea of UBI is honestly pretty idiotic. Any form of UBI should 1000% be in the form of benefits, goods, housing, or other physical goods. I'd much rather have tax cuts to reduce money lost through the middle man, as the middl

This mentality is just false. If more people of the general populous have masks, how does that not reduce transmission therefore flatten the curve? Now I understand the logic behind there being shortages. But saying that the general populou

100%, OP completely changed the tone and contents of their comment. Like night and day.

Honestly you're coming off far more extremist than OP is. OP's just arguing that in times of strife, we could potentially suffer because of a lack of self-reliance. He has a valid point, and should another even worse and longer la

This is so culturally unhealthy IMO and it's why America and similar academic oriented countries work work work until they die. It's like 1 year of being off course people act like their lives are going to end.

One year of a a1.2xlarge 8vcpu 16gb RAM costs $1782.144 excluding storage. I could build a pretty decent server with that money that would last easily half a decade if not longer. I could double the cores and mem probably too.
