If you have an Alexa you really need to try playing Jeopardy on it. The Jeopardy Alexa skill and Akinator skill are fairly quick casual games that are very worthwhile.

Not OP but heath insurance, taxes and other costs that can be marked down exactly as being for Employee #X are in the 40%.

Paying for an office having light, power, internet, management, and a mailroom is in the 20%.

This seems pretty accurate. A lot of consultancies or professional services models also have a hefty bonus structure. This can strongly impact your total compensation.

I'm quite impressed by this presentation. There is a tremendous amount of content here to excite some different audiences about opportunities for planet scale changes.

I'm super concerned about externalities for any sort of geo-engineering, but we are going to get some externalities of the present course anyway.

One small error on the list: The Chemours Company 7685 Kiln-DeLisle Road, Pass Christian, Massachusetts, USA

That should actually be Mississippi not Massachusetts. It is probably the source for the white pigment used in many Apple products as it is one of the largest TiO2 plants in the world.

I don't like the naming. "Apache 2.0 with commons clause" is not the right way to describe this licensing paradigm. It is fundamentally no longer Apache 2.0. I appreciate the motivation, but think it would better serve everyone to just make a new "Redis License" that describes the terms.

The name is kind of implying that it's somehow related to Creative Commons. I assume the latter organization actually has nothing to do with it?

Yeah... I'm interested to know why they picked they been.

I wonder if the Apache trademark allows them to call it that?

Calling your chicken "KFC with different herbs and spices!" would get you stamped down hard _very_ quickly...

During the online poker boom there were many such stories. The amount of money moving around online poker in 2005-2009 was just insane.

Lots and lots of people went from 1k or less invested to moderately wealthy. I knew multiple people personally in college then who went from ~0 to > 100k.

A note, why do they use such small sensors (11mm) rather than the large sensors in full-frame DSLRs (42 mm)?

Didn't quite get that constraint as being absolutely necessary.

Smaller sensors mean bigger depth-of-field.

Shallow depth-of-field is incredibly distracting for video and difficult to work with. Everything is out of focus. It's mostly a photography/art thing to isolate your subject.

You can see how sports program would want everything to be in focus, instead of just one player. That would look ridiculous.

this + Smaller sensor means larger effective focal length, which tends to smaller/cheaper lenses.

86x zoom for 35mm sensor would be much larger (so big that it would be impractical), heavier and much pricier than $200k.

Mostly for legacy compatibility, but the lenses would need to be even larger to cover a larger sensor.

It sure seems that way. If I understand their copy correctly this looks really really really expensive. I'm assuming the tweets per request is the limit to the result set returned, which is crazy small.
