1. Yep, in a century. I don't see how we can realistically do that faster without some sort of planetary Stalin. You think that would be a better option?

2. "Runaway" is relative and it will stabilize at some point. The particular point is debatable, but it's surely not a Venus-like environment (not until the Earth geology stops). Earth has seen much, much warmer times (palms-on-Antarctica-level warmer) and yet there was a thriving biosphere. Moreover, even the harshest predictions are on the scale of decades thanks to the immense thermal mass of oceans and atmosphere, compared to years if not months that we need to block a large part of incoming sunlight.

3. Ocean acidification is bad and a demise of the great barrier reef will be a pity, but it will not end humanity. Look at the comments around here: people are seriously considering mass-scale human extinction in a decades. Do you really believe that ocean acidification will lead to that, especially in the developed countries?

Sure, there will be political difficulties and mass migration. But it's challenges, not a sudden-death-from-above like an asteroid that GP invoked.
We do, of course. But the candidate also has an expectation and the range can be large.

Also, people still apply with expectations above the range - knowing that up front is useful!
I think there's more demand for cheap developers. There's almost no demand for expensive ones imho.
> There is more state, lot's of shared entities and unit tests are expensive to write and maintain.

Good point, but only to an extent: Unit tests boilerplate in dynamic languages that is redundant with static typing is only a (minor) subset of unit tests that you should be writing for your code. Static typing is not an excuse to skip unit tests altogether. I've unfortunately met people claiming exactly that...
The electoral college is basically not gerrymandered. In all but two states, everyone in the state is voting in the same electoral college "district" - i.e., the state - and the boundaries of the states were established sufficiently long ago (1912 []) that we can assume they were not deliberately designed to produce a certain electoral outcome today.

[] Two states have been admitted since 1912 - Alaska and Hawaii - but their borders match preexisting borders (the Alaska-Canada border was last altered in 1903).
Having been asked my previous salary at interview (and having answered honestly), on the first day at my new job they asked for various verification information - passport, degree certificates etc., and a payslip from my old job. I work in the UK FWIW, and at a company that would almost certainly not be breaking the law with HR policies.
I still haven't heard a convincing argument for why "the enterprise" would have any need for a distributed ledger in the first place. It always amounts to maybes and what-ifs. Usually, cooperating enterprises have a mutual trust in each other, or they wouldn't have entered into the partnership in the first place. A requirement for both trustlessness and anonymity doesn't make much sense in this context.

As far as I can see, blockchains only really make sense if they're protected by some sort of proof-of-work, in which case old data becomes increasingly difficult to alter as more blocks are added to the chain. To me, it appears that the concept of a blockchain was developed for this exact purpose in the first place, and that without this requirement (old blocks accumulating proof-of-work) there is no advantage to using a linked list of blocks.

Its not elitism at all. There is just a lack of what people commonly call culture in less populated areas. Greater concentration of people leads to greater specialization and a greater diversity of interests. For example, when Id return to my Midwestern hometown during college break and Id be dissapointed by the local "Mexican"(Cheese, nacho cheese, doritos, and jalaoenos) pizza.

It just stands to reason that the more oeople you have in an area, the greater the diversity and intensity of interests, which we call cultyre. My hometown definitely doesnt have a Bat'leth martial arts class, but you can find it in a big city. Thats why you get such an influx of artsy types to places like NYC because no one ia into their art where they are from
For software engineers maybe. Not everyone has that much choice, unfortunately.
I agree. And I would even go a step further. There shouldn't be demand for "expensive" devs. Because they aren't worth their dime. No one is.

Great devs should receive their worth as compensation. But that wouldn't make them expensive. That would just make them worth their dime.

But I totally get the point you were trying to make. Lot's of employers try to get one over and not pay you what you are worth.
Electron is a browser though, just one with a lot of the chrome cut out.
I'm in a related field (I do a lot of signal processing in Pure Data), and I also keep an eye on the live coding scene. You're absolutely right here in that Tidal isn't about signal processing, it's about a flexible, creative, and expressive way to issue musical commands as text. It isn't so much an audio programming language, as it is a musical programming language.

Other languages such as Chuck, Supercollider, Pd, or Max are much better suited to the signal processing side of things (though there are certainly plenty of pained souls who have done plenty of musical work in these languages).

Edit: I can safely say that if you're planning on getting into live coding, Tidal is the way to go. I wouldn't recommend anything else. There be dragons.

What if... your min-salary-absolutely is 70k, but their max-salary-whatever-happens is 50k, and you waste weeks of your time on several stages of interviewing only to learn that?

None of those "never tell your salary expectations" ever respond that question.
I just did: before:2017/01/01 in:inbox is:unread

and selected all to delete.

no more annoying count of unread emails for years ago.
Or just say "I'm looking for around X for a position like this". What's between the lines is you not saying "...and what I make right now isn't relevant at this point".

That said, there are traps here. a) for e.g. some public authorities and such it might be the case that your salary is public and the interviewer already has it. or b) As where I live, it's one step worse - everyones salary is public (or rather their tax returns are - but it's pretty easy to deduct someones salary from their tax returns if they are ordinary employees).

So I would always assume the interviewer already has the number, and I wouldn't worry much about whether they know or not - but I'd try to steer the conversation away from it and not try to anchor at the current salary.
When it was Odesk, and had just started, I grabbed my first project. I have done very few projects (not a developer) on it as I couldn't take the time out to keep hunting for work and give long term commitments. And then when it became Upwork, finding even small work became a big pain.

I feel that it is not just the freelancers to be always blamed. I have seen jobs wherein the client will say that this needs to be done in 2-3$ and in specific amount of time, which is impossible. Then there were those who would post jobs but wouldn't exactly know what they want and wouldn't give out details.

The platform was good when it was Odesk. With it becoming Upwork, the changes have made the platform worse in my opinion. Not that many people don't still post good work and hire good resources, but something else can sure fill the gap, if it can figure out a way to better the rating and skill selection system.

And to those who keep saying that people from 3rd world countries have ruined it, that's a totally nonsensical thought. Idiots and scammers are to be found in every part of the world. Yes, people from Africa, Asia and South America are able to charge less, which is because of low cost of living in such countries. You (people from 1st world countries) want to save money by letting a low cost worker do your work (keeping a big share of money without doing work) and happy when that happens, but the moment your job gets threatened, you start shouting. Wow!!!
Another bigger problem, raised by VICE reporting, is tundra thawing, leading to ground collapsing 10-30 meters into huge sinkholes. Appearently, one of the possible solutions is replacing tundra forests with grasslands by megafauna and macrofauna grazing, including, potentially, cloned mammoths, because grassland freezes harder in the winter and keeps the permafrost froze during the summer months.

That's a huge red flag. Just asking the question in an interview situation leaves them open to unfair discrimination lawsuits, and you can easily get a negotiated settlement whenever they end the interview process.

I would find the time to have a brief consultation with a lawyer familiar with workplace & EEO law, and hear what they think.

Note that EEO law usually aren't regulated (companies don't need to show they are in compliance, and government agencies don't conduct spot checks with 'mystery candidates'); they have to fear the punishment of a settlement in order to abide with the law. If they're a tiny fly-by-night company they might just close up and re-establish elsewhere to avoid the suit.

The tech sounds great, but compiler-as-a-service? No way.
The key point is that your desired salary should be an accurate amount based on your needs and expectations. If you're genuinely out of their range, why would you settle anyway?

This is why it's crucial to focus the conversation on your expectations, not your current compensation. That might not be enough for you! That might be why you are looking for a new role! It's a waste of everybody's time if they misunderstand your expectations and hire you for less than you want/need.

(Yes, your value increases as you go through the interview process, but this point of the process isn't the salary negotation. You're not going in hard at this point, just setting their expectations).
I'm referring to places like Newman [0] or Norilsk [1]. Those places have nothing to do with "utmost respect toward nature", as they are settled for mining stuff. However, they are fine examples of people being able to thrive and support a modern western-level living even in harshest of environments. No need to ditch air conditioning or your favorite SUV.

> I find it difficult to believe that no one has already done it

At this point there is no need to. The population that matters most politically (so-called "first world countries") are not affected by global warming enough to require drastic active measures. There is not enough political capital to be won in leading international talks on active Earth cooling. However, if the pain become real enough, talks will be held, rockets will be launched and the Earth will be cooled.

> Greenpeace would already be doing it

First, AFAIK Greenpeace is mostly against active measures. Second, "cheap and easy" is relative: it's "cheap and easy" as in "building a dam", not as in "occupying an oil rig".

I'd be careful generalizing here as this is very local to different countries. I can check out a candidates Stackoverflow score in one web browser tab, their Linkedin profile in a second tab, and their tax returns (public info) in a third tab.

Yes. Really.

It might not be right but if it's that easy it's hard to avoid. It's certainly useful information to have in the following interview.

RCC 2017: new challenge for coders all over the world
It's one thing not to say what your current salary is, sure.

If you don't have required salary figure, there's a risk you'll spend a bunch of time interviewing for companies that can't afford you.

The times I've received job offers, I've had to spend at least two weekends preparing and two days of annual leave to reach the offer stage. And if the employer's pay scale caps out at a fraction of what I currently earn, why waste my time?

Of course, I'm fortunate enough that I've been in the industry for a reasonable amount of time, and I think I've got a good idea of what my skills are worth.
A well-run company will commonly list a salary range for position so that there is less confusion about this issue. How much another company paid you isnt the best signal of your worth and unfairly affects people who were paid less than they were worth and vice versa

Since companies don't open up their finaces to me during the interview process, it's none of their business and if they ask, it is generally 5-7% less than the current salary Im seeking

I had a simple idea about that. Have an org website that allows you to put you own stripe or PayPal or bitcoin, etc settings, have rating system, classification, etc. but the code is all open source and ran by coders themselves. This way people can charge direct. The org fee would be a small monthly proportionate to the cost of running infrastructure divided by users.

1. I actually think we'll keep burning all the carbon unless technology makes it economically inefficient to do so (because the alternatives are better). I guess by my critique here I meant to say that I thought your timeline would leave to worse results than you thought it would.

And no, I don't think we'll have human extinction from climate change.

But, I think the consequences will be dire. Right now we have a very large world population, and it's still growing. We're managing to feed ourselves now, but only tbrough great technical feats in agriculture that have increased yields. And we basically require all the land to do this, and a network of global trade in foods.

What happens when some portions of land become unusable? When droughts worsen? When war erupts due to food pressures and large crop areas can't have capital intensive techniques used on them? If war disrupts global trade?

I think our system is very fragile, and premised on continuous improvement.

Do you think a lot of people will die this century if we continue on our present course, or do you think we'll manage to produce enough food regardless?

I have changed employers a lot, never asked for much on average (proportionally to the risk let's say), so my salary grew up a lot without difficult negotiations. (And -- yes, it did happen to me that I was offered more than I asked for... it is very, very far from being good thing for your future in the new company.)

One point to keep in mind. In my personal experience, big companies are frequently behave well when hiring for regular tech jobs -- they won't offer stellar salaries, but will not try to squeeze you dry from the start either (will try to get you to what they believe is median for your qualifications). And usually will let you understand this during salary negotiation, so you kind of have less reason to conceal your present figure.

However, as you salary grows, many of them will not be adjusting the grade in the hiring process (and of course never afterwards, except for big promotions).

So when negotiating, once you got the amount from them, ask where it lies on the range for the grade you will be given. Make sure there is a margin for growth. If there is not -- beware, it might be very hard for you to be raised afterwards, however excellent your results might be.
Most likely not much we can do now. Add to that the fact that the government of the most powerful country in the World straight up denies the science.
