Move from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake?

I've had 2GB+, 4h long videos labeled in CVAT. What problems did you run into? Can you annotate at a reduced FPS?

This is my observation across several companies/teams. The options seem to be either sacrifice "real work" time to make a good presentation or make a half-ass presentation and have people criticize the low quality.

Do people here think "no prep" presentations could work? Where it's agreed that nobody will do any prep but simply talk about something they're knowledgeable about? Or share their screen and walk through their current project? Everyone in the audience knows that the presenter wasn't "allowed" to prepare so the expectations are lower, but people still get exposed to other engineers' work.

Interesting concept. I imagine web pages which behave like a shared Google doc.

It is literally a play from their book, Rework. See the essay "Pick a fight."

My thoughts:

* Some teams do this already with git data...but if it's free as part of a team's development platform then maybe the less sophisticated managers who don't know how to interpret the data will misuse it?

* If the editor is heavily instrumented then even more granular "productivity" metrics could be extracted, like time spent with the tab active, etc. which aren't available with a vanilla install of other editors. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Facebook login flow requests permission to access your "photos". Does anybody know what that entails? Can they freely query your photos edge on the FB API?

If you have the time/resources, show those users a message urging them to upgrade and provide links to newer versions. Then monitor traffic levels to see if usage declines to an acceptable level. Depending on the volume of remaining traffic you get, you may be able to contact those users and figure out why they haven't upgraded.

Outsource some/all of it to freelancers on Upwork so they can make progress while you sleep, work a day job, etc.

I recently used a Google Sheet with company name, date applied, status, action items, a link to the job description, etc. If I applied with a custom resume I add that to the same Google Drive folder with the appropriate name. Add color to the status column to make it a bit easier to scan. Move rejections to a new tab and keep post-mortem notes if you have any after phone screens/interviews (so you can study what you messed up on). It got the job done.

Sometimes I'll get up really early and put in a quality hour or two at a coffee shop before starting my 9-5.
