I will say that my dad bought himself (and me) a pair of "Bombas" socks because of a Facebook ad.

If I'm not mistaken, the court just blocked Cuomo's order while two cases progress in federal appeals court. The federal courts may ultimately rule against plaintiffs and side with Cuomo. Of course, plaintiffs might then appeal to the Supreme Court.

I'll laugh if they just pick up shop and move overseas.

It seems premature to conclude causation w.r.t. to Google and those trends. Without some more sophisticated analysis we can't say what the effect of Google's efforts was. For all we know the declines in interest and diversity might have been *even steeper* without them.

Honestly I'm worried about the 22% of boys and 9% of girls who think it's very important. Because it's not. Those kids have bought into a lie.

Computer! Enhance image!

I expect the hardware to last at least as long as the manufacturer continues to support it with OS updates. At a bare minimum I expect it to last the length of a "payoff term", typically two years, plus some amount of time after that when I'm not making payments on the device. Say, an extra year, for a total of three years. Right now I'm using an iPhone 7 (about to be 4 years since it was released) and don't really feel the need to upgrade.

Looks like some do.

My first thought was Galactus.

It can't have cost them much more to ship it with 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Cheapest Chromebook is $179. So they could have aimed for $169 and still come in as the (slightly) more affordable option. Or shoot for $199 and tout the fact that it has full-fledged Windows and not Chrome OS.

So 51% of developers, at a minimum, are idiots.

CFR = 0.4% implies IFR of 0.26%. If it takes 60% infected to get herd immunity (some say higher; I've heard 80%), and if that infection is spread evenly across age groups, then the U.S. can expect another ~410k deaths absent the development of a vaccine or effective treatment.

I've long contended that SWE interviews should consist of a short behavioral / social interview, an on-site coding exercise, followed by a live, interactive code review (with the candidate) of his/her output from that exercise.

..,you're telling me green energy is vastly less labor-efficient?

Would this also ban no-poach agreements?
