I'm currently open to an equity-only role as long as I can work from my current location. I'm close enough to The Bay to make occasional trips, but not close enough to commute.
Military aircraft are subject to failure from being shot at. Aircraft in combat will fail much, much more often than properly maintained civilian aircraft.
Civilian aircraft don't have election seats because situations where they would be useful are exceedingly rare.
It looks like improved yield, but also there's the possibility of producing a product that has different properties than that produced on earth.
If, for example, the larger ritonavir crystals they can produce in space produce a dramatically more effective treatment, somebody's going to be interested in paying a premium for that.
The last time I had to replace four tires at once, the mechanic could no longer source the model of tire that my car had, and refused to mix tire models on my car.
I thought that was what the article would be about. All those freezers are pumping out heat 24/7. I could see climate control being a huge issue for these facilities.
In the USA at least, to use the name "ice cream", there needs to be a certain density of cream. If the product isn't dense enough, you need to use another name, like "frozen dessert."
The products called frozen dessert are whipped up to contain lots of air. There's several advantages to this for the manufacturer: You can fill the same size container with less material, so you can cut costs. You can also list fewer calories for the same size serving.
"The laptops contain standard Microsoft Office applications, a link to the Division of Rehabilitative Programs (DRP) Learning Network, and pre-loaded approved bookmarks. This gives students access to Internet sites approved by academic instructors as appropriate for research."
I thought the MIT license required attribution, but on rereading the requirement is pretty weak: You're only required to keep the original copyright notice.
I remember Chet making delightful blog posts all the way back when he was at Sun. I wish him well on his new career, but hope that he doesn't give up technical writing completely.
I would say this post makes more sense to me as a call for self-awareness among potential founders than as an argument for avoiding this route entirely.
Sometimes internal tools exist because the incentives are there for a company to build rather than buy.
Sometimes internal tools exist because the right tool just isn't on the market. Yet.
I know a lot of investors are excited about Waymo, so I assume the executives are as well. I don't have any insight into what the experience is like on the actual engineering team, though.
I can't find it now, but several years ago a dev posted his experiences here dealing with VAT when selling software across the EU.
He had to comply with a completely different set of tax laws for each EU member state that he received a purchase from. The cost he paid to his accountant to be able to be in compliance was like twice what he paid in actual taxes.
A big party of the problem is that many of the tax laws were so inconsistent and vaguely worded that every transaction had to be gone over manually.
My understanding was that GPU instruction level parallelism is quite limited compared to CPUs (since multiple "threads" are running on each hardware core) and I wasn't aware that GPUs had any meaningful OOO execution.
I'm a software engineer based in the North Bay. I'm actively looking for remote work opportunities, whether short-term or long-term.
