I agree with the risks, the overall theme being it's much easier to potentially manipulate a million internet votes than physical. In other worlds, internet vote manipulation scales significantly more than physical. But I could make th

Flawed? Sure, although every language has its flaws, some more than others. Deeply flawed? Not really. Obsolete? Lol, what. It's top 3 most popular languages.

Theoretically possible, but (super super super) unlikely. I'd also think that when a user "permanently" deletes their data, it would still be on Google servers for a specified time (maybe a week?). Again, all guesses. But if

My guess would be they have multiple backups. I obviously can't say for sure since I don't work there, but it's very very good guess.

I think OP means they used AI to create/code the app, instead of AI being used in the app.

I don't understand your point. Yes, electricity is virtually all the TCO of the device (other than the upfront cost). Isn't that the case for any consumer electronic part - processor, memory, hdd, etc? That fact doesn't chang

Moreover, considering the cost of the card itself at $1,600, the electricity expenses become relatively minor. In fact, for the price of the card, you could operate it non-stop for two years. This highlights how the cost of electricity is a

The cost of electricity for running a single RTX 4090 a year: $800 (calculation below). Cost to the company of the median developer: $200,000. Assume a 20 cent cost of 1 kWh, then a RTX 4090 with a 450W power draw for a year costs: 0.45 * 2

The cost of power (electricity) is much lesser than the cost of time.

Just curious, why are you still sending physical tax forms? Have you been filing 1040NR? Those were recently digitalized, while the standard 1040 has been digital since a while.

Their comment was not targeted at you. It's not even worth the effort for you to install YouTube Vanced, etc since you watch 6 videos a month. Their comment was to people who watch a lot of YouTube, but still whine about the $14 cost.

Aggregate for Google is $181k, $272k, $44k, $77k. So between 3.5 and 4.1 times.

Fair points, 1/5th is a good estimate.

The difference is much lesser 7-10x in big tech (Google, Amazon, Msft, etc). Big tech's Indian offices pays about 1/3 to 1/4 of what they would earn in the company's USA office. Levels.fyi will corroborate this. Yes, whi

Thank you for this. I'll make sure to request a best of 350,757 next time I'm deciding anything by coin toss.

It worked out for you because USA - Australia visa requirements are pretty lax. Generally speaking, developed countries have relaxed (or no) visa requirements for each other. Had you been traveling to say China, India, or basically any glob

How do they work around visa requirements for visiting engineers? Wouldn't that lead to few days worth of delay at least? They mention New Delhi in the article - Americans require visas to visit India.

How so? If it was, most novelist should be great software engineers. They are not.

"but the written interview part (the part people seem to protest the most) I actually find quite useful." Yeah, not taking advice from this fellow. Good writing doesn't necessarily make you a good software engineer (and vice

A big pet peeve of mine are articles that mention salary in US dollars without any context. It's common sense that $2 in Kenya goes much further than $2 in the US. Doing some cursory googling - Kenya's median salary is around $900

I'm confused why that troubles you. Does every article concerning Buddha have to mention his birthplace? Or to generalize, does every article about any significant historical figure have to mention their birthplace? Well written articl
