Is that possible on a mobile device?

If I were in your place, I would start by scraping LinkedIn using Python or Golang and creating a large database, keeping relevant information and keywords for each user. Then I would come up with some sort of clever algorithm to sort the data into some kind of sparse graph with takes into account the distance between the nodes (i.e. how close each of the user is to one another) and then use a search algorithm to search for a specific user and or a number of closely related users.

Author of the article gives one TedX talk, then goes on to proclaim that he's an "expert" at public speaking and ranks himself in the "90" percentile for public speaking. What a joke!

> No mention of whether it supports 802.11ax.

Even if it does support WiFi6( 802.11AX), there are no client devices that support WiFi 6 yet.

EDIT: Apparently iPhone 11 pros support WiFi6 [0]

How is this different than the already existing Wifi Mesh devices?

The professor, author of this article, misses the point that the whistleblower is an "intelligence officer". Intelligence officers very regularly write extensive yet concise reports to their leads or higher up management, so it's not surprising that s/he wrote the memo well.

The best kind of "screwing around" is screwing around in plain sight. Once, I had a fresh grad in my team and I had to get him up to speed. I noticed he was taking more than the usual time to do basic tasks, yet whenever I passed by his desk, he had three terminals open and had c++ code here and there and compilation errors on another window. Two months later, he would move to a different company. Turns out that he was just practicing his programming skills, and all of this time I assumed he was working on assigned tasks.

EDIT: spelling

[Boss Walks in] [Dave intensely staring at the desktop] Boss: empty deskopt...not suspicious at all.

That's what I thought too, because "good" is an adjective and adjectives describe nouns. On the other hand "well" is an adverb and fits perfectly well.

Amusing read

"For a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two," said Mr. Friedman. Thus, he continued, libel lawyers have what is known as "the small penis rule". One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis, Mr. Friedman said. "Now no male is going to come forward and say, 'That character with a very small penis, that's me!'"

Genius! I wonder if there are other similar rules out there that I am not aware of?

I use Vim/vi. The best decision I've made in programming.

I'm sure a3n didn't mean literally "the first two words." I think they meant it as a figure of speech.

I would recommend grabbing a Raspberry Pi and start tinkering with it. If you want to learn about low level electronics, start by learning PCB design and design your own custom board.

I really love the way they explain tax bracket. It's very easy to understand.

" Let’s say my total income was $50,000 in 2018. This means my income would be portioned out into the following tax brackets:

You must pay 10% on income up to $9,525:

$9,525 x .10 tax rate = $952.50 owed in 10% tax bracket

You must pay 12% on income between $9,526, and $38,700:

$38,700 - $9,526 = $29,174 of income in the 12% bracket $29,174 x .12 tax rate = $3,500.88 owed in 12% bracket

You must pay 22% on income between $38,701 and $82,500:

$50K (my income) - $38,701 = $11,299 of income in the 22% bracket $11,299 x .22 tax rate = $2,485.78 owed in 22% bracket

Add taxes owed from all brackets together:

$952.60 + $3,500.88 + $2,485.78 = $6,939.26 in total taxes owed "

I fail to understand the reason for including a gif.

I do 100% of the work assigned. On average it comes ou to 65 to 70 hours per week.

Invest your money in real estate instead of keeping it in the bank.

Very interesting.

I wonder if the I.Q decline is caused by the use of Marijuana or if it's caused by the life style of Marijuana users?

You've just described me perfectly. I also just haven't made the final push even though I have everything set up. But in my case, I fear that people will take it as a "show off" and not as a way of sharing about things I learn.

This is fascinating. Thanks for sharing

How can you trust your computer? What if your hard drive fails? How would you recover your photos then?

They could have at least kept the option for people who want this feature, and turned off Cloud sync by default. Just removing the whole feature seems excessive.

an ancient Roman would often grab a tersorium (or, in my technical terms, a “toilet brush for your butt”).

The title is misleading because only the chip by itself costs $1. If you buy the microcontroller( chip + peripherals), it costs more than $1. For example MSP430: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/MSP-E...

How does the App go past pay walls like the New York Times?

Do you have any RTOS experience?
