>Statista https://www.statista.com › statistics › facebook-global-dau Feb 9, 2024 — During the fourth quarter of 2023, the number of daily active users on Facebook reached 2.1 billion, a minor increase on the previous quarter.
So roughly 28% of the planet.
One more observation: If I were to want to work for the USDS, there aren't job listings (that I saw) nor would I know what I was applying for by clicking the "Apply Now" button.
I have been out of Fed. Gov. for about a decade, but the hiring process was very complex and confusing back then, the "rule of thumb" was for people to apply to as many as thirty jobs, and expect to wait a month for a response. I'd recommend explaining how (if) USDS is different. I certainly wouldn't fill out the "Apply Now" form not knowing what I'd be interviewed for, in DC, with a response sometime in the next month.
So, there's a huge lesson when an organization starts blaming every one else for scale problems; if everywhere you go there are issues, it's you.
Stock market is up ~10% since November, what's the deal?
Looking at the 1-year google finance default indexes the stock market more-or-less flatlined until November '16. Has anything about the economy fundamentally changed since then? Is this a product of speculation around the new president's agenda?
Every line above this one states nothing but "you will work here"
Am I losing context or are "ship code to product" and/or have experience "writing [...] code" or "not dumb" terrible benchmarks?
Because that's closer to how humans drive. As infuriating as it is, midwest-USA traffic follows almost no rules about what the left lanes are for.
Where are we on the actual math of solar power?
I've seen several articles and threads lately that make claims of solar energy matching or surpassing that of more traditional (coal, gas) energy.What's the "simple verdict" on it--is there simple math?
Want to end world hunger? Okay, quit whining about the 1%, get to work, and create an organization that can make that happen. If it truly was your passion, there shouldn't be anything stopping you from accomplishing it. It seems, then, that the "passion" is really just an excuse for not trying.

From the OP link. The author spent a year "filling holes" in his knowledge.
The military is an absolute money burning machine. In my seven years of experience the following were in-the-open examples:
* End of year spending binges on equipment no one wanted or needed to max out budgets, to justify the next budget year's sum
* Pre-inspection trashing of inventory to mitigate write ups for discrepancies between on-hand and on-book items.
* I met a team of inspectors in Iraq who were tasked with finding some number of billions worth of equipment that was paid for, but no one was able to locate.
* Getting rank often involves pushing through big expensive projects, no matter the need, in exchange for bullet points on personnel review files.
* My favorite: an enormous dining facility was built on a base in Iraq, but it was too close to the exterior fence, which presented a situation where there would potentially be slow-moving line of hundreds of military, closely grouped together, within "throwing distance" of the perimeter fence. Thus, the contractors were required to complete the building, to make-good on the contract, to force the military to pay them in full, for a facility that was unusable due to above.
