I made $99K with about 7ish years experience and had friends that were in the $130K range about 5 years ago. It seemed high then too.

I was interviewing when I found the $99K job and another company said they'd pay $80K, but want to me work minimum 60 hours.
The rocket equation applies when you're continuously accelerating your fuel to ever higher speeds.

The work in supersonic flight is fighting drag, which while many times larger that for subsonic does not have an appreciable weight dependency. Why would flying longer require more than proportionally additional fuel?
It's not quite $EverythingYouveGot (for parents), but $EverythingYouveGot - $WhatWeThinkYouReallyNeed. Financial aid offices compute an allowance for parents, and then demand the "extra" money.

It is "Everything You've Got" for students, though. If you have any college savings in your own name (or earn any scholarships), it will simply cancel dollar for dollar with university grant aid. Unless you can save more than the total of your grant over 4 years, better to spend it before the first financial aid paperwork (or not save it at all).

Though this only comes into play at a school that offers substantial grant aid. At a state school your savings can actually help.
It's most useful implementation is peek and pop, to preview something without committing to going into that screen. That's nothing like right click. The only place it's at all similar to right click is on the home screen, and even that is totally different than any right click implementation I've ever seen. The most similar thing is right clicking an icon on the OS X dock and seeing recently modified documents relating to that app.

> Drug use has an external impact on the families, friends, employers, and coworkers of those using drugs.

It's not illegal for me to be a sober (or drunk) asshole. Nor is it illegal for me to be sober (or drunk) and just decide not to go to work, consequences be damned. People are allowed to get drunk legally, despite the statistically increased propensity for violence, douchebaggery, etc. What makes alcohol "good" and drugs "bad"? Nothing more than tradition, as far as I can tell.

You're not making a great argument for why drug use should continue to be illegal.
Coming from an outsider, having heard about how much sifting there is in Academia, couldn't that be because there's more people that want to be researchers than there are research positions? Someone who works in a sub-field without private sector research positions and with post-docs pushing up against them doesn't seem to be in the strongest negotiating position.

I do agree however that it is messed up.
In that example we don't need to run the webpack build inside the Docker image when the container is started. There are multiple points in the application deployment lifecycle where a webpack build could be performed.

When you deploy with the gcloud cli a Docker image will be packaged for you and and deployed. You could easily run a webpack build before the image is packaged so the built files get packaged as well, or extend the image with your own Dockerfile to customize the Docker steps, or build the image yourself locally and deploy your already built image, etc...

You guys are crazy. 3D Touch actually makes a screen full of apps useful. Instead of needing to have a million folders that I classify by behavior I can just have apps sprawled across a few screens and then apply a little more force on the app and then get a few actions that are related to the app.

I'm actually shocked that I'm seeing such a Luddite response to something that's objectively better. I agree that the software needs improvement (for example, what makecheck says about deleting apps) and there are a few things that are kind of stupid. For example, one can't move a full window of apps as you can with Android without moving each individual app (which is pretty ridiculous). Apple definitely seems to be falling behind but 3D Touch is a great, solid feature. It was a mistake for them to omit it from this model.

Why the Tech Industry Shuns America’s Gun Problem
I'm in a similar situation right now: on paper my father's business owes him a lot of money that he "loaned" it from his salary, but in reality that money does not exist and it's not going into his pocket any time soon. Mix in two brothers with their own college costs, stir to taste. I took two gap years to work and save money; it's absurd to me that I'm paying full tuition price in this situation, but the financial aid office doesn't give a fuck because they know as soon as my savings run out I'll take loans.

Even worse, in my opinion, is that these institutions can continue to be considered Not for Profit organizations.

Harvard is very interesting in this way - they have so much money in their endowment that they seek all kinds of investment. Real estate is one of their favorites. When they buy property, it can no longer be taxed. This is why the towns surround Cambridge hate when Harvard buys up property. Watertown, in particular, has really been furious at this trend. In Worcester, the colleges use up city resources and yet pay nothing in taxes in terms of city services.
Ideally, yes, the games would also be on SSD, but I've had my Steam library on a separate HDD for a while. I can get a 2TB HDD that is fast enough for me for around £60, which would store most of Steam library. Spending a similar amount on an SSD would only get around 240GB storage, which could be filled quickly depending what you want to play (random example from the Steam homepage: XCOM2 requires 45GB storage).

I'd love to upgrade all my storage to SSDs, but the cost/benefit ratio isn't that great IMO (it's improving, so may be a non-issue in a few years). FWIW, photos/videos/movies get stored on my NAS (4x3TB;RAID5) unless I'm editing them in Premiere.

Just to add some fact. According to Yale's financial statement [1], their operating expenses in 2015 was around $3.2 billion. So tuition doesn't come close to covering their operating costs. And it looks like they typically spend around 5% of their endowment (the spending level most foundations target because that is the minimum a foundation must spend to maintain their status).

Gosh, I really dislike that turn of phrase.

Anyway, they can't do that, since the ACA has mandated that insurers spend at least 80 or 85% of premiums on health care costs since 2012.

The insurers ride that line as closely as possible, since their profit has to come out of the 15% allowed margin. This means an increase in total premiums without a commensurate increase in the cost of claims cannot happen. If an insurer's payouts don't exceed the mandated Medical Loss Ratio, they have to refund their insured customers for the difference by mailing out rebate checks. I've received two such checks myself.
thanks for your clarification. IOMMUs are a standard part of most motherboards chipsets these days, what would be the reason for not taking advantage of that and using them?
oh! you are totally right! haha, thanks. I'm gonna use one of these vs. build this :)
Don't think so. It looks more like some really bad choices mostly like bad dependencies or hard-coded things or something else. But to me this reflects the product quality and most importantly a big yellow warning on software quality.
It's a procedural thing, not really up to the judge.
Yeah, kb trackpad is pretty much the only thing I knowingly use 3D Touch for. I randomly discovered it months ago, thought it was some confusing but at first, then realized what I'd done. The accuracy has always been slightly disappointing, though. As well as a few other little quirks, like losing its place in long text, getting stuck at the top/bottom without scrolling upward/downward, etc. but overall, pretty handy.
There is, however, some weird extension thing that allows you to put SD cards into, but it's limited in what it can save and what apps can save to it.

I agree. I also expect to see secondary markets that raise equity via crowd funding.
I find it more likely that this is simply a tactical decision: they already knew about this "new method", and were holding it in reserve so that they could cancel the proceedings if necessary (i.e., if Apple put up too much of a fight). They will keep trying until they get the precedent.
* Belief in company's mission, how passionate you are about what they do
Edit: Sorry, I didn't read all of your post before I reacted. I see you've said about the same as I have here.

Unedit: The best balance seems to be setting a lower bound. E.g. at my employer we have 25 days PTO minimum, and actually if we don't meet that and leave the company they've contractually obligated themselves to pay that back to you. So we're very much encouraged to hit that limit and it's very common to exceed it.
true, but on the other hand you can get caught with 1-2 grams of any powder, less than an oz of cannabis and nothing will come of it.

Anything you can argue in court is personal (which is quite a lot) and at worst you are looking at a few hours of community service in most cases.
I don't understand why everyone is ignoring the simple answer that no 3D touch is simply a result of the same 5S screen being used? Presumably 3D touch requires a haptic layer on the screen so if that's not present, it can't exist.
It is no longer illegal to charge a surcharge for credit cards [0] in most, but not all US states. As far as I know, it has always been legal to give a cash discount.

Until recently the sticker price had to be the credit card price, but all in all it appears merchants don't prefer cash despite the option of discounting it.

> ﻿ Combine all of the above with the recent stories about hedge fund managers being exploitative sociopaths—

what the fuck. I mean come on but sociopaths thrown around like a cheap slut is too much.

When you have to perform and you are getting paid to gamble and WIN, you are going to need insider information. You SIMPLY CANNOT WIN in the hedge fund game without insider. a hedge fund guy once told me everybody fucking does it. Pay some underpaid, underappreciated guy at the company in cash. He told me SEC does a fuck job and only goes after the guys that really stand out, the too big to let them get away. They only go after high profile guys and once they go to jail for white collar crime, they have extensive network they tap into for employment and working together.

Yeah it's fucking scary what hedge fund managers are capable of but it's also overreaching to say all hedge fund managers are this corrupt, obviously ones that weren't smart enough to figure out how the game is really played.
Your argument easily applies to alcohol, prescription medications, and hell, even obesity. There's nothing here unique to drugs that are causing the problems you're decrying.

Rule #1 of interface design: "Easy for me does not mean easy for the user."

You or I can immediately see the need for a symlink and implement it. The average gamer has probably never heard of such a thing, and it might take several hours of increasing frustration to discover that Oculus won't install on their game drive, look for solutions, learn what a symlink is, and figure out how to make one.

And even without that, if you fucked up but it's easy for the customer to fix, you still fucked up. That's not an excuse.

I just learned about it and Andy Grove a couple of days ago, which really puts the "oh, this person would be cool to talk to" and the "oh, that's not happening" awkwardly close.

> A lot of people collect games like they are pokemon. My mate has a ton of games on steam that he's not even played.

I have 558 games on Steam. Almost exclusively from Humble Bundle orders, I've installed and played maybe 30-40, and that's because I've made a concerted effort the last year or so. I have another 100+ on GOG.com, mostly titles from my childhood and teen years I've convinced myself I'll some day have time to pick up and finally complete. I can relate.

> Plus a lot of those games are being pirated by kids who don't have bank accounts and/or are not mature enough to realize that pirating hurts people.

Yes, that was me. The vast majority I never played beyond trying out to see if I liked them (thus my original question). The few that I didn't buy that I did pirate and liked? Well, see the GOG.com note above (but a lot of those are ones I bought twice, or in that case of M&M II or some of the Ultima Series, 3+ times...).

For one, you have to try to go after the All Writs Act.

If I were Apple, I'd deploy a billion dollars and buy everyone in DC as necessary. Not exaggerating. Defense contractors, conglomerates, energy companies, etc. spend in the mere millions to get their way on things. Apple should purchase the entire Congress, aggressively, and destroy the All Writs Act as far as this type of situation is concerned, and push for favorable legislation that resolves the broader context of encryption and warrants in a rational way to preempt the FBI's next attempts.
Wheat is not a good comparison because it's mostly not consumer facing. Consumers care for more things in their purchases than just the raw good. Your alcohol example IS a good example. Consumers aren't just buying a beverage that intoxicates them that doesn't taste terrible. They pay a premium for brand, image, and to a large extent placebo quality. The cost of manufacturing for most alcoholic beverages has little to do with the final price.

Hell, even look at legal, non-recreational drugs. There can be an identical generic version. There can be an accredited medical professional standing right there saying "they're the same thing" and people will still opt for name brand.

I'm certain that if drugs were legalised, all that extra cost from being illegal would go straight in to marketing budgets and people will be buying the lsd equivalent of $300 bottles of wine or vodka that comes in creative packaging.
How Solar Kills the Electric Utility
"Don’t assume we want to become mothers. And if we already are mothers, don’t assume that we’d rather have fewer hours or responsibilities. "

This isn't just an assumption. Pretty much every woman I worked with that became a mother, cut their hours, and focused less on their career and more on their family. This isn't a bad thing, but on the flip side, you can't expect to get paid the same amount (or get as many promotions) as someone who is willing to work many more hours.

"young women identified finding a higher paying job, a lack of learning and development, and a shortage of interesting and meaningful work as the primary reasons why they may leave."

You could replace 'women' with pretty much anyone in this situation. I'm not a woman and I have left jobs for all of the above reasons.

"You could work with them to develop their skills and use their talents in interesting, meaningful ways"

I'm getting fatigued by special treatment and double-standards that are becoming acceptable. The only way to succeed is to find your own interest in your career. An employer can't develop your skills, you need to take responsibility for this yourself.

"You can default to paying them even more money, and you just might get lucky and have them stick around a while longer"

So women should get paid more than men for simply being a woman? Why isn't this considered sexist?

"PAY WOMEN MORE. Pay us what you pay our male co-workers who do similar jobs"

This narrative keeps getting spun, but there have been numerous studies on pay and women in the workforce and when you compare similar jobs, hours, educations, and skill levels, women get paid around the same as men.

Logic says that if pay were this different, we would see entire IT companies staffed with women. Companies are always trying to reduce costs.
This just isn't happening.

It happens in other industries where companies know they can hire illegal immigrants and underpay them.

Why does 'diversity' have to be just another form of sexism?
It really depends on the culture. My managers regularly disappear for a week or two at a time throughout the year. As a result most of us feel free to do do too.

I probably take 4 weeks or so a year and typically in the past have been limited to two...

I would check it out if you have the need to do any Windows-related programming. (Not sure how great the support is outside Windows.)
It annoys the hell out of me when I see articles referring to Valeant's "acquisition and cost-cutting" strategies. No, they were slashing and burning. What they did to the companies was not "cost cutting", it was corporate raiding plain and simple.

The problem with doing income redistribution at the state level is that citizenship is at the federal level. If Ohio decides to have a state welfare system and Michigan doesn't, Michigan's poor move to Ohio and the system collapses.

A good solution would be to create a universal basic income at the federal level funded by a no-exceptions flat tax on consumption, which keeps the federal government simple, and then let the states do everything else.
