A family member moved there recently so anecdotal.

To find an apartment was easy in their case (4-5 days) the total cost is similar to Berlin and about 50% the price of Dublin.

My bad I didn’t mean it as a comparable benchmark. Just a different benchmark that is interesting to me :)

Would you run the elastic search benchmarks and report numbers ?

Companies host their private code in private repos.

I’m not saying it’s the best thing for GitHub to do, but...

Let’s say 15% of Android top 1000 apps are sitting in private repos on GitHub. With their build tools GitHub make it possible to automatically push builds to this imaginary store, they offer devs 50% discount on whatever cut google take if on the play store.

What I meant is - GitHub could create a Google Play store. The supply side (Devs) are on GitHub in abundance, so they could have a big catalog.

If GitHub could somehow solve the demand side (Phone users) they'd be sorted.

It would be interesting for GitHub because they have a large developer community who push to these app stores already, so they have the dev audience, just not the consumer.

They charge said developers a few dollars a month per seat. GitHub could somehow instead be taking a 0%-20% cut topline revenue from some of the apps they host.

Lots of work to make that happen the upside might make it worth while.

It's free for up to 10 accounts.

What features do you need from Wistia?

They are getting paid to research different ideas so thats why they might be proposing ideas you find to be misguided.

There are instances where researchers spend their time where the outcome was mostly thought experiment / not directly applicable, and there are instances where the work was useful from an application perspective. Such is life

Any examples of what their products cannot do as effectively as their marketing department say. Just curious :)

We used it as a google docs alternative

CIA And the German government

Top point talks about targeting data scientists. It would be interesting seeing what that means in their mind.

Based on the current state of affairs oracle and the jvm seem very far away from mainstream ML

What happened with chris

The pívot podcast made a prediction that Apple will launch a search engine. Might be overlap in audience of hacker news and podcast

Nope they have a large product and tech org looking after the German sites. It’s just kinda what happens for some reason. Check out olx or other adevinta destinations. Once you crack the buyer seller side of things life gets really comfortable

It’s listed as a college project that they’d like to turn into something generally available for use. Fair play.

Nice !

Could you rename it to space cadet ?

I’m not able to work our from this if it’s actually all his common stock. Any idea where to get that.

Is there any mention of them making internal shifts to support people working from home forever or will the practicalities of it mean people still need to work near the Twitter HQ

It's the current trendy technology (For a lot of good reasons). So its only normal students gravitate towards it.

It's not ideal - but if it wasn't DL it would be another topic / application.

Working with a very small sampled dataset when doing anythin g'big data' or 'AI' related.

Unsolicited feedback:

Come up with a proposal on how to change something thats bothering you. Either put together a doc and ask for feedback on it, or make more than 1 proposal.

Bring it to your 1:1. Talk through it with your manager. Work out where you need support from them (Be it asking for time to focus on it, finding someone else in the org to help you out, etc.)

'The system is too slow', 'Person X has poor quality Y', 'Other business unit / eng team / etc. ideas is flawed we should not do it or do it differently'

This helps manage your manager, and make the meeting meaningful for you and most likely your manager.

Check out https://medium.com/@sbourke/getting-more-from-your-1-1s-8f71... , it has a few things from the playbook link as well. I have a more elaborate version I'd give to my direct reports. 1:1s are great if you do them well.

Went to college (msc) - it’s subsidized/ free in Europe

Zapier.

This isn't a PhD hire problem, this is a hiring someone out of school / college and not giving them enough structure to succeed problem. It's just you have higher expectations because they did great at undergrad / masters.

I’m out of the loop can you explain?

Maybe not applicable but reading the unit and integration tests are usually where I start

They are pretty aggressive with trying to push me to a native app or signup. Guess it’s related to the possible ad dollar

Guessing it’s just users inserting the incorrect venue by mistake.
