Microsoft has announced a new feature that allows Windows 10 users running Insider builds to launch their Android apps directly in Windows 10. So you can get your Candy Crush on while in the office?
Oh wait, you can already do that. So why do I want this again? (Still, it will be good for debugging, maybe?)

not really executing apks,
looks like they have put vnc/rdp server on android
this could be done simply by rolling up a android vm, no need to link the phone
Anbox - Android in a Box
This project looks promising, I guess WSL can run apks then somehow you can proxy the ui from wsl to windows window.
Windows window 🤣🤣🤣

In the 1980s, Tim Berners-Lee became frustrated with how information was shared and stored at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Needs more {blink}
Yeah, Tim. Great, but can you align those items vertically and change the link color? And maybe update the background? Oh, and the boss really wants something splashy - try a few things and he'll let you know what his son thinks. He's really good with these things.

I can't believe that.
That amazon does it, ok.
But he as a single person? 216 Million a day and 6,48 US-billions or german-milliarden a month? That can't be correct.
150k a day (4,5 millions a month)... that is something I could believe.

After a little googling...
Amazon's gross profit for the three months ending in June 2020 was US$ 22.5 billion (German milliard) dollars, which works out to US$ 250 million a day. Jeff Bezos owns 11% of Amazon stock, so his share of the gross profit would be US$ 27.5 million a day. This works out to about US$ 1,145,000 per hour, or US$ 19,000 per minute.
Note that this is gross profit, not net income, so he probably earns US$ 15,000 per hour from his Amazon stock. Add to that his income from salary, bonuses, other investments, etc.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yes. But companies don't pay employees from their profits. Salaries are part of the company's expenses and are funded by the company's revenues and any line of credit or debt the company holds.

My point was that Bezos is not only an employee; he's also a major shareholder. As such, the a portion of the profits can be credited to him.
(Yes, I know it's not that simple, but all we want is a rough figure anyway.)

Still a way until 150k / minute.
And other investments are not Salary.

That's not how companies work.

I've always wondered what Mark Zuckerburg earned 
And I wonder why they haven't added me to the list yet

It's not that bad, luckily
In fact, I just checked if I'm among the 1% and I'm not doing too bad (still a looooong way to go for the 0.1% though) 
Also, we don't really know how big the giant squid is, their "mantle" (the squid minus it's tentacles) could be anywhere between approx 3 m and 27 m 
I found that nugget of information while searching for the 1% incomes, go figure.

Can't be bothered looking at the link as I know it is wrong, it is conflating Amazon's stock price with Bezos' "earnings". Bezos earns $80k a year in salary, plus some other in other income but nothing like $150k/m.

Every developer needs to find (and fix) bugs. But how can you squash a bug you don’t know how to find? For when you have to fix someone else's code, of course

Prayer, meditation, Tarot cards, crystal balls.
Oh wait, this isn't the psychic forum.
I'm surprised the author didn't mention the #1 reason for not being able to find the bug: the information the customer or tech support person provided for reproducing the bug is inaccurate or inadequate, which translates to the skill set: learn how to ask for better information.
And the #2 skill should be: learn how to use the debugger. It astounds me how many so-called programmers I've worked with haven't a clue how to use the debugger - even setting a breakpoint is "wow, I didn't know you could do that!" Yes, I've actually heard that said.
And the #3 skill should be: look at the data, not the code. Garbage in, garbage out.
[edit]
And my coworker just added #4: Is it actually a bug?

Harqen's AI platform analyses language to determine a candidate's suitability for a role, potentially making it less prone to bias than video-based recruitment technology. "This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."
It couldn't be worse than some recruiters, could it?
Could it?
