I don't hate it, but given a choice I wouldn't use it. It's not very intuitive. I felt like I was wasting time trying to deal with it, and never exactly sure why it wasn't working, rather than getting stuff done. My next project used Trello (only for Kanban-related activities) and I was much more productive.
An actual Netflixer can chime in, but as far as I know from friends who work there, Netflix is almost all base, no stock and no large bonus. My friends are data engineers with 3-5 YOE making about 400k base upon their hire, so I believe it. They thought folks in the ML group were in the 700-800k range. All hearsay though, so please take with grain of salt.
Ex-Netflix here. I left at the tail end of 2016 & was making 320k then. No bonuses, but they did give you [an additional] 5% of your salary in options at I think 40% of the strike price. I assume it is still that policy.
> I cannot understand why people insist on hating Telegram for their choice of tradeoff between convenience and privacy.
I recall the anger is not about any trade off. It is that they rolled their own poor crypto instead of using battle-tested crypto. There’s no convenience factor or trade off here, they just literally did the thing the textbooks tell you not to do, and have ignored the industry’s calls to use strong crypto.

I come across this a lot about Telegram and while I do agree, I think there have been no reports so far about hacks in Telegram's service, and it's online since 2013 or so.
6 years is a short time in cryptography. That isn't battle-tested.
"Even worse, security doesn't provide immediate feedback. A dead patient on the operating table tells the doctor that maybe he doesn't understand brain surgery just because he read a book, but an insecure cryptosystem works just fine. It's not until someone takes the time to break it that the engineer might realize that he didn't do as good a job as he thought. Remember: Anyone can design a security system that he himself cannot break. Even the experts regularly get it wrong." -- Bruce Schneier
Yep, I'm familiar with Schneier's comments. I still find the whole thing funny though. For example, services like Viber seem to have 260 mil. active monthly users [1] which is a tad more than Telegram's 200 mil. on monthly basis, however, I don't hear people bashing Viber that much even though it practices security through obscurity [2]. Hats off to Telegram for at least publishing their stuff and I remain curious as to how it will all unfold in the future.
India, Russia, and Brazil isn't the target market for people like Schneier. If you narrow the market to the US, Statista reports that Telegram has twice as many users in the US as Viber.
I'm from one of those countries where Viber is hugely popular (by far more popular than WhatsApp and Telegram), and I hate it with passion. Kind of like Telegram, its end-to-end encryption was also home-made last time I've checked, but at least it's turned on by default.
OSX was used originally to just describe version 10, a big change to the OS which broke backwards compatibility. Now its used loosely to describe any version above 9.
Each point version of OSX has a codename, Yosemite is v10.10.
The latest version 10.14.x has the name Mojave.
Apple recently rebranded OSX to macOS, possibly to have a version number higher than 10 some day.

that may be, I figured it had more to be in line with tvOS, watchOS, and iOS. having somethingOS for everything except for one being OSsomething just seemed oddball enough for them to want to bring it in line.
In theory you could have 10.1234567890 for a release and retain OSX if that was the concern. I think everyone would hate them for it, but I don't think there's anything preventing it.
> I can’t understand the doctors that didn’t say fuck it I don’t care what these morons think and didn’t just vaccinated the kid.
Probably because they didn’t want to lose their medical license, and make their degree (that they’re still paying back their debt on) suddenly worthless?
The a medical board that revokes their license it should be disbanded, forcing someone to suffer through this seems to be directly go against the Hippocratic oath.
Forcing someone to undergo a procedure that they explicitly do not want is far worse than harming someone at their request IMO.
Doctors aren't there to make everyone healthy, doctors are there to offer their services when desired. Sometimes they have to make a tough call and can't ask permission (e.g. patient is incapacitated and the legal authority isn't available), but directly going against someone's wishes is harm.
If doctors aren't careful they can be used as weapons against others. They give people access to very dangerous substances, which can be used for poisoning or ... they may institute mandatory treatment, and use violence against their patients (in case of child abuse, psychiatric illnesses, contagious diseases, war/disaster scenarios ...)
The rule, that has been thought very careful about for thousands of years is that a doctor CANNOT override a patient, or responsible parent's wishes, except where it poses a clear and present lethal danger to others. If the patient cannot make their wishes clear, it is assumed (but confirmed ASAP) that they want to follow the doctor's best judgement to let them survive. Vaccination is generally not considered one of the cases where overriding the patient's wishes is reasonable.
There are other WTF medical opinions of people that doctors will advise on, but NOTHING else. Chief among them "but my natural healer/homeoptahic/guru/... said to ...". A close second "I hate doctors because they're evil/money-grabbing/... and so I'm not going to get ... treated". Both cannot be overridden, not even in psychiatric patients.
If the child wants it, but the parent refuses, I believe they mostly have a free choice legally and ethically at that point, but every doctor I've ever known would vaccinate under those circumstances.
A blog article would be nice. Sounds interesting, but I’m having a hard-time understanding. If it’s replaying requests, how do you get it to do things like go to the next pagination and click on all of the next paginated results?
We have accepted the state of our marriage as it is today. The libido mismatch has some medical background, so it's not as if we are cruel to each other. We do sacrifice, but we do it for the children that we have chosen to have. We both accept that this marriage will end once they are done with HS.
Probably to maximize the time they both have with the kids and to minimize the impact to the kids’ lives during a time that’s already fraught with anxiety and doubt.
Where did you get all of this information about Pakistan and India's nuclear strategy or lack thereof? Do you have a source or evidence for what you're claiming here?
