It would be nice to see an estimate for the order of magnitude of the effect. As is, I’m skeptical the clocks would be able to measure it. Just a bachelors degree in physics though, so I’m not an expert.

Yes, that was my thought as well. Breakeven might be like 1 (give or take 2x)?

The post is quite clear? They call on the sponsors to stop funding ruby central, and the employment status bit is a clear concern extending from ruby central’s supposed takeover. Read the post more clearly before accusing someone of LLM usa

I had to look this up. In California in particular, this is true, which surprised me. Per a random law firm: California’s yellow light law permits drivers to enter an intersection during a yellow light. No violation exists unless any part o

It’s unlikely they are able to gouge McDonald’s and the large companies. Even the article mentioned that the big competition is for those massive contracts. It’s much more likely that McDonald’s and co can shop around, negotiate a great pri

Important to note that despite being started by humans, those fires are still made larger and exacerbated by climate change. Not to say you’re implying against that, just clarifying.

As you consider the decision to let them go, consider the impact on other people in your work place too. Other developers notice someone like that underperforming and getting overpaid, and it can hurt the good climate you aim for. It may fe

This article is just an exercise in back of the envelope math. There’s no coherent point to it. “If we just assume that Pablo Alto was as desirable as Manhattan and could justify building the same infrastructure…” It’s not. You can’t.

Great summary. Always hard to tell whether proposed experiments are doable within a reasonable timeframe. Sounds like this one is not, but perhaps by defining a new category it may lead to one that is.

Cool project - I’ve had this problem. I’d like the GitHub reader to also lay out how to set up figma. E.g. import figma library. Anything else needed?

This looks pretty compelling! The best of controlling your own data and a global, network-effects-compatible content approach. Seems like a win for users if it gets adopted.

Curious, do you have a source for this? Are PFAS primarily concentrated in the bloodstream?

Fascinating. This material alone would be revolutionary if legitimate, although I’m sure there’d be further improvements. Question for any experts - what’s the relative difficulty of keeping something under sustained high pressure in a piec

Fascinating. The summary: “On the one hand, according to the (generalized) standard canonical interpretation, the arrival distribution is considered as a generalized observable, which is described by a positive-operator-valued measure (POVM

Fun product, I can see myself using it. A feature request - I’d like to be able to adjust the time frame. Things like basketball shoes move a lot year to year, and it can be hard to find ones from 18 months ago.

TikTok seems particularly vulnerable to MLM schemes, given its focus on highlighting content beyond a user's social circle. Combined with their younger user base mentioned in the article, it seems clear that TikTok has a lot of good re

The article is off by an order of magnitude in one of the more headline grabbing comparisons. It states 2.5 million goroutines in a gigabyte of RAM, when it should be 250k at 4KB per stack. Still impressive on its difference, but less so.

The easist method is by trend in employee count. If headcount is rising, that's a good indicator, if it's falling, that's generally bad. Stable can be perfectly fine, or bad, depending on the company. You may have concerns ab

Per a Forbes article on the subject [0] "Check Point estimated the firm was making millions from the ad clicks, in the region of $300,000 per month." I imagine your price per click is over-estimated by a couple orders of magnitude

I respect TechCrunch's decision to not publish the plaintiff's name in the primary portion of their article. It's easy to look up for those who have a reason to search for it, but it's not necessary to the discussion, an

At the pre-MBA level, interviews often just test for the right mindset and approach to problem-solving. Very little hard skills are expected prior, unless you're applying somewhere with strong expertise (life sciences comes to mind). P

There's two major entry points to management consulting, straight out of college and post-MBA. I did an internship after my junior year, and took the full-time offer. Most firms also hire out of business school. There's certainly

Relatively normal, yes. I have friends at a number of other firms, and most have had similar work-life balances. It has a huge variance to it though; in January I worked until 6 PM most weeks, but for the past month or so it's been clo

For a different take: Management Consultant Workday: - 8 AM - Wake up, shower, shave, etc. - 8:30-9 AM - Ride the subway in to the office - 9-12 PM - Calls, meetings, data analysis, output creation (primarily in word, powerpoint, and excel
