dont underestimate how many of those parameters are actually necessary to support multiple languages. If you focus on english only, this can easily reduce the paramters 5fold

you are underestimating the impact of programs like this. The CEO will quickly spot broken processes and inefficiencies. Ass kissing can't make up for business problems. Beyond that, by working in a different store, gets a feel on how

I was not expecting this Reddit level of comments on HN. Really hoping you are sarcastic.

the execs definitely miss out on a lot of money because bonus programs are typically multi year. There are always -short term (how did we do this year, the classic everyone gets) -long term (bonus defined today, paid out over a few years i

on paper, in practice they don't kill products, they just die because of mismanagement. Google is the other hand, they kill products outright even when there is still life in it. With microsoft you can pay for extended support, but its

a 400 month customer is really a tiny fish, don't expect special treatment without support packages. Do you even have an enterprise contract with them? The bronze contract can be had from 0 spend, and gives the option to pay through in

yes thats their business model: have universities and institutions pay for access.

it's simple: Many companies are on Azure for some reason. (mainly because of preexisting microsoft contracts, and because its so tightly coupled with office that if you want office at the enterprise level, you always need a little of A

you are too pessimistic. Senior profiles definitely dived into the statistics aspect of it all. Experiment design is often a big part of modern business cases, because naturally it is part of the cost to obtain data. It is still taught at u

lol that's such an abuse of statistics that absolutely makes no sense The problem in Portugal is the relation between income and housing cost. If the average rent of a 1 bedroom is 1000/month, and the average net income is 1300&#x

they mostly use numpy (matrix maths library). So if you use a library for matrix multiplication, inverse, transpose, ... with a nice syntax, you're good to go.

I've been with DigitalOcean for a very long time, their prices seem comparable to Linode, I always saw them marketed more or less the same. In fact, I don't even know why one would pick Linode over DigitalOcean or vice versa

no the actual issue is that it would mean a demotion for Ryan Like our tech director spending millions on Microsoft stuff. Anyone sees that it's not really the most sane investments to be making. But the only way out is to fire the guy

I dabbled in this myself, and never managed to beat a classic index tracker. So yes, I made a 3-5% profit over roughly 18 months, but it took a lot of time, stress, and in the end I ended up with less money. Is your experience the same?

If I try that, my banking app refuses to boot because it assumes its jailbroken or something.

I went with AEG specifically because they guarantee at least 10 year of replacement parts availability on those specific devices. To me that's more valuable than a 2 or 3 year warranty.

I honestly don't like their hardware either. Well, the camera and battery that is. My huawei and iphone vastly outperform the samsungs I had. I grade Samsung on the same level as Sony Xperia: great phones, but one too many things that

The big elephant in the room remains: cost Google is king in having reduced the cost of search queries. After all, they process billions of them, they need to bring down the cost. The built their own chips for their datacenters specifically

for a startup, it might actually make more sense. Do you want to pay an engineer to setup the backups and monthly update cycle? Setup the alert monitoring? There is an implicit cost there. If its only one or two of those things, just take t

self hosting feels like an afterthought. That's a red flag, it means they actually don't have any open source users or ecosystem.

same happened in Belgium, the US won over the French Jet. In hindsight nobody cares anymore, but it was a lot of public debate and very clear the decision was political and not merit based Hey, that has value, there is definitely a good cas

kinda yes. Recommendations that are irrelevant to you because you already watched it are annoying. Not knowing where you ended up, which episodes you have already seen are annoying. Especially if its between seasons that is a big part of th

I always had back luck finding odler stuff, am I just doing it wrong then? Torrents tend to stay somewhat alive way longer. I miss the glory days of rapidshare, fastupload, rapidleech, megaupload ...

the people buying these things obviously have no idea about that. Migrating to Okta or something else neutral would cost the same, but hey, that's a different name
