I've had codeine euphoria multiple times. I'm pretty sure the euphoric effects of opiates are quite well documented.

I'll throw it right back at you - your own personal experiences are worth about as much as mine when it comes to medical evidence, not a lot.
I've had recruiters on two occassions ask for ph# of former employers, saying they just wanted to verify dates of employment and salary.
Giving the number doesn't have to be bad for you. (But it can be.)

But yeah, never give any range. Not when talking about previous compensation, and not when talking about what you want. Just give them straight up numbers, if you give anything at all.

And you should definitely give them a number about how much you want to be paid. You want to set the first reference point. And yes, that means you will have to do your own due diligence about how much the market can currently bear for your (interviewing) skills. But you need to know these numbers anyway.
Exactly! My company's internal benefits page tells me my compensation is "salary + employer side of medical, dental, vision + employer 401k match". I always chuckle at how high that number is compared to my actual paycheck...
There are two ways we're dealing with that at the moment. 1) A sandbox mode to test code on, that simulates transactions without moving real money 2) The idea of "pockets", so you can attach code to a specific ring-fenced pool of money
React doesn't, but JS perhaps does.

A lot of my code has to be mounted in separate root components and it's not allowed to be a SPA.

In this instance, it was convenient to use event listeners, though it's very similar to calling a global.
What could you mean by that? texlive compiles.
I'm probably making $30k less than I could be making right now because I tell the truth! Had no idea so many people lied. Makes sense to do so but didn't seem to be worth the risk to me. I wish I had a way to quanitfy how many companies actually check for this. My last two times out I used the same recruiter so couldn't really lie to him, I think going forward I won't work with his agency and just make up my number.
No, same here. Tried the Cyano-Fdroid route as well and came to the same conclusion. Even tried not using a Google account but even free apps are often dependent on the Google servers.
My entire family dies of strokes, and 23&M identified me as having a blood clotting disorder. This is extremely valuable to know in terms of basic lifestyle modification (e.g. being even more sensitive to deep vein thrombosis on long flights), and in being able to discuss prior to things like surgery.
"So [some] people on HN are pro employers posting their employee salaries publicly but [some people on HN are] against previous companies asking what their salaries are. WTF. I must be missing something here."

I added some words to your quote in the square brackets that should resolve the confusion for you.
Agree with you in principle (your previous deal with company A is absolutely none of company B's business) but I would like to challenge you on one point:

> I'm placed at a disadvantage in negotiations if I name a number first.

... This is unlikely to be true. Generally, in price negotiations it is advantageous to name a number first. This is known as anchoring and basically the theory is that the end result is better for you if the company has to wheedle you down from 170k than if they anchor the price at 100k and you have to argue them up from there.

Plus, it saves a lot of wasted negotiation time on both sides if your price is just way too high for the company and this is clear from the beginning.

(edit: I'm talking about expected salary in general, not disclosing your current salary level)
Refuse. Tell them you have a backup and are willing to risk having to reinstall everything. That's worked every time I've had service done there.
Not an e-paper laptop, but an interesting tangent from yesteryear. Did you see the display in the OLPC?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLPC_XO#Display
No I think you're spot on. It's easy to see the web as an obvious invention with hindsight, but just imagine a world where tcp/ip is the only protocol available to you. I could easily imagine a world in which someone thought to create an across-the-wire binary specification rather than a really simple text protocol. The genius of http and html is that they are very simple. I remember right after the dot-com bubble crashed a bunch of people basically said the web was dead and that we should be passing binaries back-and-forth. Inventing something simple and useful that the average person can easily pick up is the work of a genius (and yes, the average person can write html, my mom doesn't understand how the internet even works, but she writes html for her job).
Well those processors just run bytecode compiled from Java source code. The same is true of more traditional processors they just run bytecode compiled from c source code. I thicnk they are both doing essentially the same thing.
Possible, but this is the first year that I have more 3 only dependencies than 2 only dependencies. I would be curious what they are.
I'm used to people using incidents taken out of context to justify claims of racism.

Sometimes, they don't even check the details, as when they pushed the story of an Olympian who was detained due to Trump's travel ban without realizing it happened under Obama.
My preferred technique is to mentally baseline my current total comp, then shoot for that as my base at my next position.

You really shouldn't compare salaries, since benefits can vary so much.

So if I'm making $100k in base now, but have a good bonus structure, a good vacation package, health, retirement, etc., could make that total comp closer to $150. So that's what I say is my current compensation -- most people will anchor to that in salary negotiations.
People can ask about trade secrets just fine. It's just that you don't have to answer.
I'm not sure how effective this will be. When I was recruiting It got to the point where I would never ask salary's I would just say, "I'm assume your currently making between XXk and XXk?" and 9 times out of 10 I was in the right range. 1 time out of 10 they would say no and correct me. I just took a educated guess based on knowing the market. Any good recruiter should be able to do the same.
That's like suggesting a programmable page table is a vulnerability, because it can be used to hide a malware stub from processes looking for malware.

However you want to litigate this on a message board, nobody working in platform security or even malware defense thinks that way.

The difference between a persistence vector and a vulnerability is that you can patch a vulnerability, but you can't patch "programmable page table".
I'm confused by why these things are so connected for you; I think it benefits potential employees to both not have to talk about past salaries and to be able to know what other employees are being paid.
I was, and equity terms did change at that time. But that was 17 years ago.
I define "bad" by insurability. If the activity to be pursued has risks so high that no one will insure it. Then that's "very bad".

Well, the contract uses clear terms like "Customer" but where on earth is a customer roped into such a thicket of demands, encouragement etc.? Customer is king so the saying goes but here the "Customer" is the driver and that "Customer" gets a lot of rules dictated.

Customers in the real world pay. "Customers" of Uber get payed.

It is not that the language is vague. It is double plus good.
If it bleeds, it leads. The press will always seek to sensationalize any rare events to gain clicks / views.

For this reason, people vastly outweigh the risks of nuclear meltdown, terrorist attack, plane crash, child abduction, etc. So people are easily swayed to oppose nuclear development by fossil-fuel lobbying.

Since the government must give approval for nuclear plants, their development becomes a political issue, replete with fear-mongering and NIMBYism.

You're citing facts and calling for a balance of risk / reward for energy production, which is noble and should convince the HN crowd. But the reality of nuclear power is that it's political, and facts and politics do not cross paths very often :-)

The way to change public opinion is through education, so I suggest every go and watch Pandora's Promise, which is an excellent documentary about nuclear power.
Thank you so much! This comment has been very informative, and I'm glad you threw in the part about being dogmatic. I had been assuming libertatians were very dogmatic about libertarianism based on the libertarians I know, but reading your comment made me realize the stupidity of that.
I think it works best as a negative income tax. If you make no money, you get a refundable credit up to, say $25k/year. This would phase out as you earn income, so that once you're earning over $25k you're paying in and not getting the credit. This way people still have an incentive to work if they want more, but they won't starve if they earn less.

This way you're not giving a flat $25k to someone who's already earning $100k. But if that person loses their job, they'll still get enough to live on.

We've actually done an Amazon Echo integration :-) So you can do things like check balance, or send money to a predefined set of contacts etc.

A lot of the use-cases getting interest seem to be related to spending management. E.g. company cards for everyone in a team that integrates with Slack. So when you spend on the card it notifies you, and asks you to submit the payment receipt directly on Slack.
This is a very contentious subject. There has to be a negotiation at some point and employees have to share what they are willing to accept and the employer has to share what they are willing to pay. There is some validity to the idea that an employee is worth whatever they can get an employer to pay them, so their previous salary is an indication or ballpark of what that amount might be.

I think a less infringing question is for the employer to ask for the salary the employee is expecting. Then there is no lying and the employee can try for a 20% jump or more and see what happens. They can also just ask for the employer's offer but in practice the employer is going to go up slowly and find the lowest salary they would take anyway.
Why would you give every adult in the united states a basic income of $25K a year when the poverty line in the continental US is ~$12K?

$25k a year is about the poverty line for a family of four.
I feel the same... Why Apple don't listen to their pro users.
I would like to be able to game, video edit, photoshop and get a decent fps (not doing all this at the same time).

My ideal MacBook Pro would be a 13" or 15" with retina display, i7 Kaby Lake, with at least 16gb of ram and a nvidia GTX 970.
Also, I think salary negotiation is partially responsible for the man / woman wage gap.

I think men are more inclined to agressive negotiate their salaries, and women might be less prone to lie or hide their current salary too.

If you already have access to the things I type and my metadata includes the websites I visit, you don't really need to phish me to get my credentials.

If a service also happens to not support 2FA and doesn't have some sort of account activity section, you can effectively have control of me over that service, without me ever doing anything wrong and me not even suspecting a thing.

> That would be massively convenient for me and it doesn't seem like it would be a massive hassle for them to implement (as long as they limit the maximum amount of storage to something reasonable).

The problem isn't the storage, but figuring out who the rights holders are and ensuring they get paid for those streams too. And it gets even more complicated for things you might have that Spotify doesn't have in their catalogue vs. is not allowed to let you play due to geographical restrictions. There's no easy way to guarantee correctness and completeness of the metadata uploaded by others whereas they can reasonably trust what is given to them by music labels.
Who cares? There's a -huge- difference between dodging the question with a vague answer, defecting, or refusing to answer and -outright lying- about your previous salary! These reports are run to catch lying. Do the former, don't outright lie.

Similarly, I know part of my job when I do an interview is to sell the company and the position. So I'll put a positive spin on things but I won't outright lie.

Of course the attack schedule is not easily obtained, but just asking such a dumb terrorist if they are a terrorist should be similarly effective.
Just think of the state as a more inclusive union.
Well, that would presume that Communism frees you from having to worry about starving or keeping a roof over your head, when historical evidence would suggest that it actually makes those things worse, and adds a healthy dollop of "having to worry about whether the thing I create will get me sent to the gulag" which doesn't exactly do wonders for creative freedom.
For debugging in Node I use:

Companies asking for your previous salary means theyre going to try to pay you with your past salary being a benchmark to work with, not necessarily what the position is worth.

Companies posting employee salaries publicly aims for employees at said company to be paid at the same level (with similar experience).

There's a subtle difference.

Every time I've been asked about salary its been an obvious ploy to lowball my salary due to previous experience of working in a lower cost area. Employees literally have zero incentive not to lie, since employers can't verify

I already had a solid two pages, though definitely not this dense, after 5 years. And have kept it at 3 pages now for a few years. I am sure it could have initially fit on this one page, if I wanted to compress it to this format. But to me it just seems like its too dense for an HR department to even review. I would much rather have the important hooks on that one page, nicely spaced and not overwhelming, and then if they are interested they can move on. But none of the advice I have relied on for this has been from the Tech Industry, its just been general advice. So its very interesting to see another perspective.

We haven't conquered Libya. In fact, the Obama administration pulled out and left the country in chaos and more vulnerable than ever to terrorism.

I agree, but the right thing to do is to update the dependency to support python 3.
It is awfully peculiar that universal basic income is so readily touted here. If there is even the slightest hint of monetary compensation in an article or comment, someone has to chime in saying basic income is the solution. While the crucial point you bring up about actually funding it is usually brushed aside.
If you believe this, why not dragnet everybody's devices all the time? Surely you'd generate more recipes for explosives and drugs, and be able to prevent all sorts of crimes.

I believe the "total deaths" argument is dishonest. The death count is so low precisely because we know the danger exists and effect massive evacuation and decontamination programs. Such efforts are very expensive and bring a lot of suffering to those displaced, but those downsides don't register on the "total deaths" scale.

Yep, we're Python 3 only now. The clear distinction between strings and bytes is more important to us than the latest iteration of Neural Network hype.
No more than:

* We hire only the best

* We value your career progress

* We are transparent about the company's strategies and financials

* We value taking the time to think through the design of features and products

And so on. Most of which are, to be charitable, only very loosely applicable when they aren't outright lies.
Going forward I'm including calculations for free lunch, the relatively excessive amount of PTO days I get every year (30+), and the relatively affordable insurance I have ($140 per monthly for a family). Locally I think it will be hard to get a similar benefit package so I'm going to quantify those benefits and bake them into my "salary".

They usually resolve those with access to their data. Their computers getting trashed by malware or breaking is different. It can cost money to do recovery that might give them nothing. That concern is the more common case.
The parent is discussing prior salaries.
You are discussing requested salaries.

If specifically asked "What is your current salary?" you would typically respond with the actual current salary, not your ideal new salary.
Likewise, just because an employer offers a lower salary than you want based on your salary history doesn't mean you can't counter with the salary you want. If they want you and think you're worth it, you'll get it.

The benefit of telling a prospective employer that a previous employer decided you were worth an above-average salary vs. simply requesting an above-average salary without context is obvious.
Laws around copyright and state secrets don't have this idea of "using the data" you refer to. They focus on copying, since "using the data" would involve showing intent, which is hard to do.

ISP's have argued that transmitting data doesn't count as making intermediate copies (even though router buffers do make copies), and the courts have largely bought that argument.

(Also, there are laws specifically covering searching mail; the post office doesn't have to make legal arguments one was or another about it.)
> Oddly, no previous management research has looked at what the legal literature says about the topic, so we conducted a systematic analysis of a century’s worth of legal theory and precedent. It turns out that the law provides a surprisingly clear answer: Shareholders do not own the corporation, which is an autonomous legal person. What’s more, when directors go against shareholder wishes—even when a loss in value is documented—courts side with directors the vast majority of the time. Shareholders seem to get this. They’ve tried to unseat directors through lawsuits just 24 times in large corporations over the past 20 years; they’ve succeeded only eight times. In short, directors are to a great extent autonomous.

My non-expert view is that super shares for founders change less about the legal status of corporations than people think they do.
A noob question: Why don’t companies just bypass the underwriters and offer their stock for sale using a Dutch auction, where the price starts very high and gradually decreases until the most optimistic investors decide to buy? That way, the company always sells at the highest price the market is ready to offer.
For the same reason we don't frisk everyone all the time.

Privacy does matter, but long ago society decided to suspend those rights at the border.

If you want to revisit that, fine, but don't claim current policy is a change. Searching people at the border has been standard practice for a long time.
Posting salaries anonymously and in aggregate does not disadvantage the employee. HR depts. already have a rough estimate of the average paid by other companies. Those postings merely level the playing field for job seekers.

Though I don't support the law, the two points you raised are completely consistent.

> I don't think we want to live in a world where software is produced by homogeneous groups developers of the same age, race, and gender.

Do you own any Chinese or Japanese products? Not necessarily software ones. You almost certainly do.

It's virtually impossible to migrate to China and very, very difficult to migrate to Japan. Therefore most of their products are created by people of the same race. Do you regularly go out of your way to buy other products instead of Chinese/Japanese ones?

My point is: As a consumer I don't really care who provides the best product in terms of price and quality. And if diversity really does provide competitive edge, then I believe we should simply let the market sort it out. As long as there is no discrimination in providing equal opportunities for access to the market for everyone.
It was a joke.

Mossberg was one of Jobs' inner circle of journalists and wrote glowing reviews of all their products until fairly during the Cook era.
Can you be more specific about what "reason" you're referring to? It's not at all clear to me what it is from the logic you're employing upthread.
It's also worth recognizing that things are very different if this becomes universal. If one company asks for your salary at another, they get a chance to underpay. But if every company publishes salaries, they don't get to low-ball no matter what you were getting before.

Note that this assumes your information about your market value is at least roughly in line with their information about your market value. If there's a big discrepancy in what you believe you're worth, then the benefit can easily flip the other way.
Something like this format certainly makes sense for fresh out of Univeristy, since they should really not be going that long. But seems much less useful for someone with 5+ years of experience and several jobs. But I am definitely interested to see what other HR departments are looking for these days. Is this format attractive as someone doing hiring?

A rule of thumb is most big companies will utilize big data in employment decisions. I currently work for a mid-size company and I had to go through a whole third party background check.
