Microsoft's Reaction to the White House Announcement on the Paris Agreement
Make companies pay extra compensation if employees work overtime.

This is the standard practice at many (but not all) Japanese companies with an overtime culture. "Service overtime" (サービス残業) -- uncompensated overtime -- is widely perceived to be abusive, and the abusiveness of this practice is deployed by defenders of the status quo as "We're not abusive; we paid every one of those 80 hours at time and a quarter."

It's priced into the expectations, literally -- my offer letter from my previous employer in Japan had two columns in it, the "formal offer" and the "offer assuming overtime pay[+]", with the number quoted at me being the total salary inclusive of their estimate of overtime. (30 hours of compensated overtime a month.)

(This was... ahem... an optimistic estimate.)
Amazon Web Services | Multiple Positions | Seattle | Fulltime | ONSITE

The AWS HPC Services team is looking for senior engineers and research scientists. The team is solving two sets of problems; (1) Building a cloud native engine for scheduling and running batch jobs (AWS Batch) (2) Developing on-instance tools and libraries to improve the performance and capabilities of HPC applications, e.g. We recently upstreamed patches to Open MPI to improve Open MPI performance on Amazon EC2. If you like schedulers, job management, or have experience in writing parallel computing libraries, MPI, etc, we would like to talk to you. At this point we are only looking for engineers with 3+ years experience (ideally 5+ years).

I think it's more cultural than efficient. Working more than 60 hours for most people results in no added outputs.
The part about trading not mattering to companies isn't true. One, companies issue additional shares after IPO. Two, the fluidity and likely future viability of the market affects IPO feasibility and price. Three, stock price affects employee compensation. Four, companies that own shares in other companies benefit from liquid markets just like retail investors.

Corporate bonds also trade on the secondary market and that has similar consequences.

> i'm fine letting Chrome function simply as a dev tool and actually browse with Firefox, Opera, Servo, etc. w/uBlock Origin & uMatrix

I'm definitely in the same boat. That makes me wonder if it would be a bad long-term move for Chrome. Just guessing here based on personal anecdata, developers are more likely to use ad blockers, which could alienate the developer community. If that's true, I wonder if we would see a resurgence in Firefox and other browsers.
The article has this:

Somewhat agree with the essence of your statement, but the talk was more about Brannon than Trump. And the movement that has lifted them. Both can be said to be less worrying now with Bannon's power reduced, but I can see how it would be a big concern to anyone non WASP a couple weeks ago. When you're being objectified there's not a huge difference between crying wolf and just being careful.
Which "new designs" have failed catastrophically?
'Schimbul 3' by Adrian Ordean
The (real) title of this post is exactly how I feel about Facebook. Facebook is AOL, if AOL had won.

But the question is: what can we do about it? Resist certainly helps (never had a Facebook account and hopefully never will -- although I did get on Whatsapp two months ago). I will also prevent my kids to have Facebook while under my roof.

But what else?
SEEKING WORK / remote / San Diego

I'm a full-stack startup and web system technology junkie. I think in Python and have used it professionally for over 8 years.

I have over six years of post-collegiate industry experience working full-time and contract for bay area startups ranging from the seed to Series B level such as Getaround, Matterport, and Manifest Commerce. I have also completed projects for Sony, Google, and CVS through my work as a freelance consultant for digital advertising agencies.

I'd be a great fit for MVP build-outs, big data infrastructure and platform work. I love designing, implementing and testing robust production systems that scale with organizations and delight their end-users.

I'm currently enrolled in the Udacity deep learning nanodegree and would also be very excited about any projects with an ML/AI component.

Most recently I've been doing contract work on an open source GIS tool for the government (https://github.com/terranodo/eventkit-cloud). Previous to that last year I delivered a Slack bot MVP to a client starting from the early ideation stage. I did the backend build out and managed front-end and design resources for the project (growthbot.io).

Some technologies I've worked with recently: Flask, Python, Django, Celery, Postgres, SQLAlchemy, numpy, PIL, opencv, gdal, DynamoDB, Redis, Google App Engine, AWS, Docker, Jenkins, ETL jobs, work queues, datadog instrumentation, Google Analytics API, Facebook Ads API, PostGIS

To be fair, Objective-C has existed since 1984 and it adds nice OOP to C, that is, Smalltalk-style OOP.

However, i must say that when I was first introduced to C++, having been totally familiar with C, i thought that Bjarne Strostrostrostrostrostro

*** - Program stack overflow. RESET

... Strostroup was a genius. I think C++ was a nice idea, but ended up suffering from the "yeah, let's add this feature too" syndrome. I really wonder if there is one person in the earth that actually knows the whole of the C++14 language.
> Income tax is the wrong way to tax the extremely wealthy.

No, it's the right way.

> They make most of their income from capital gains, which is taxed at a different, low rate.

Capital gains taxes are income taxes, they just are at a lower rate to deliberately favor holders of capital. But there's a simple and obvious way to correct that; apply regular income tax rates to capital gains [0].

[0] there is actually a good reason for special treatment of income earned over a period of greater than one year in a progressive annual income tax system, as doing otherwise penalizes punctuated, non-repeatable income; but you can address that by either (or both) of allowing income to be recognized in advance for tax purposes and allowing income to be deferred for tax purposes for a period after it is earned (neither of which, managed properly, provides any avoidance opportunity for regularly-recurring income.)
No - people would have to be expecting your content to autoplay, and then it would be okay.
> Here's an idea. Make companies pay extra compensation if employees work overtime. I guarantee you companies will be literally pushing their employees out the door at 6 PM then.

Most companies already do pay extra compensation for overtime, at least in theory. The reality is that there's an informal pressure for employees not to declare their overwork time or they could use various loopholes that make them technically "not overwork".

Officially, Japanese labor laws look pretty good on paper. In Japan, most obstacles are informal which apparently the government can't really regulate.
this phenonomen is not limited to bleecker st. CRE prices are pretty high right now, especially in most parts of manhattan.

landlords are happy to let leases expire, jack up the rent and look for the next 10 yr tenant. usually a 2-3 % annual escalation is added to the lease.
Only the US has the military muscle to do that. And some US citizens are relinquishing their citizenship because of that.

This is not how you fix it. You fix it by a flat tax rate and by not abusing the taxpayer: max 10% tax. Anything over that figure is outright theft.

Tax the rich cheering is just an incentive to tax starve the regular taxpayer (everyone else). The rich, meaning their capital will just move elsewhere.
Or, at least give the SI unit first, then a day-to-day formulation in parentheses.

The SI units are not just more useful for scientific minded readers, but also for international readers in general, who don't share the same cultural background and hence have no feeling for these "day-to-day formulations" anyway, because it isn't their day-to-day. For example, a German author might write:

| The area is as large as 7.2 km², which are 1000 football fields.

Without the SI unit (7.2 km²), this would be very confusing. Of course, the author meant association football (soccer) fields, not American football fields. But who in the international audience would have caught that, especially if I didn't state author's national background upfront? Even more importantly, which percentage of the international readership has developed a intuition about the size of a football field?

You are correct, and I admit that I grossly simplified the situation to make it succinct.
Facebook's zero rating programs are being implemented to discourage these people from ever finding out that Facebook isn't "the internet". They even went as far as to use the name "internet.org".
Actually, it is the government's business to know where their citizens have been.

What the hell you think passport stamps are for.
> This is not uncommon in the US either, in the finance industry, at startups, at much bigger competitive companies, in medicine.

Is it anywhere near 25% of the US companies, though? I doubt it.

Finance and startups are high-risk, high-return endeavors. It's one thing to work 80 hours of overtime as a trader/VP/software engineer earning good money, having a sense of autonomy and accomplishment, etc. And if you quit or your startup fails, you can always get another job, change fields or even take a break. It won't be a black mark against you.

It's a very different thing to work 80 hours of unpaid overtime as a courier [0], with no autonomy and virtually no career progression. Sure, you can quit. But the perception is, "why would I quit if the alternative is just a different delivery sweatshop?".

FWIW professions/companies that have strong unions tend to have less problems with unpaid overtime, but they're a minority.

> This is based on gross income not net income.

Largely varying margins in different industries makes this seem unfair to me, unless I'm misunderstanding it. Basing it on net income avoids this, but then you get funny bookkeeping to game the system.
"they're gaijin/not Japanese, so naturally they don't follow all our norms."

This is kinda true but also kinda not. It glosses over that there are all kinds of "foreigners" and they aren't treated the same or thought of the same. You are using "foreigner" to mean (white) Americans/West Europeans.

I can assure you that Japanese don't feel that way about, say, Vietnamese or Malaysian foreigners. (I live in Vietnam, which has a fair number of Japanese companies. I have a Malaysian friend who left at 6pm one day and had a meeting with HR the next morning at 9am.)

My guess (based on admittedly little real evidence) is that they would also be less understanding of Asian-Americans who leave at 5pm than they are of white Americans who leave at 5pm.

One of the most surprising things I've found living in Asia is the large amount of racism pretty much everywhere. I've seen Chinese restaurants with signs saying "No Japanese allowed". I know a Vietnamese girl who puts in her online dating profile "Don't message me if you are Chinese". Heck, even regional "rivalries" are...rough. I was a cafe in South Vietnam where they refused to serve a group of customers from North Vietnam. The North Vietnamese asked, "Do you have tea?" The staff replied, "Yes, but only Southern tea" and walked away without taking their order.

My guess is that you, like many others, didn't watch his entire speech today nor dissect the reasons he is leaving the non-binding accord. I'd love to hear actual rebuttals on his reasoning rather than tireless critiques of his character. It's old, it's boring, it's why he will win in 2020.

He is a bold leader that is making good on his campaign promises, all of them, something I can't remember a single politician doing in my lifetime.

> Sounds a lot like the private key to decrypt this information was stored alongside the data in the database... whoops!

Not necessarily, even if this was done "properly" there is no guarantee that from the internal network there wasnt a separate exploit that the attacker could use to gain access to a different node which had the key in memory. With breakages like these you generally have to assume that anything that is theoretically possible has happened.

Funny, it is actually money = better healthcare = less infant mortality + higher cost of raising child = less fertility rate = less babies.

I hear you brother. And I should add that I don't believe in static typing being a Great Thing to Have. Strict typing is a good thing, but Static typing?

I feel Static typing is like those little wheels fitted to bicycles so kids don't fall down when riding a bike. Yes, you can never fall down when using those wheels, but (a) your cornering ability will be slower and (b) you still can crash against something, fall into a pit, etc...
This. I tried the exact same thing for a family network a couple of years ago (but the network did not hate Facebook intensely, so it was a bit of an uphill battle). Before I could get them all fully on board, I got sucked into some large gigs so no business resulted in the end. I still hope to revive it some day.
I'm kind of in the opposite camp. The way-too-excited responses from people reacting to the silly video of my kid just remind me how I often don't like the FB-version of my friends and family. So I really avoid interacting with them there.
This is a remarkable post, because even though I can't figure out if it's lampooning or sincere, either way it's laugh-out-loud funny.

>Can we focus on renewables and stop trying to sell people hazardous waste that can last for millenia?

No one I know is opposed to renewable energy, but advocates really do everybody a disservice when they try to argue that an intermittent power source without storage is a reasonable replacement for base load power. This comic illustrates the problem: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/capacity

>... How can you guarantee that a certain place is safe to store millions of tons of radioactive waste for thousands of years if we can't even guarantee what will happen tomorrow?

Millions of tons? Where are you getting that number from? Right now nuclear waste can and should be recycled which would reduce the amount of waste: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste

Soon it will be possible to use most of the waste as fuel:

"...Fast reactors can "burn" long lasting nuclear transuranic waste (TRU) waste components (actinides: reactor-grade plutonium and minor actinides), turning liabilities into assets. Another major waste component, fission products (FP), would stabilize at a lower level of radioactivity than the original natural uranium ore it was attained from in two to four centuries, rather than tens of thousands of years"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_fast_reactor

The worry people have about nuclear waste is greatly overblown. The amounts generated are manageable and in a relatively short amount of time we can use most of this "waste" to generate electricity.

>...We need to stop this nuclear madness!

NASA has estimated that using nuclear power has saved an estimated 1.8 million lives that would have been lost if the power has been replaced by fossil fuels: https://climate.nasa.gov/news/903/coal-and-gas-are-far-more-...

As someone in a previous discussion pointed out, the historical record for deaths from nuclear power have been very low:

Energy Source Mortality Rate (deaths/trillionkWhr)

Coal – U.S. 10,000 (32% U.S. electricity)

Natural Gas 4,000 (22% global electricity)

Solar (rooftop) 440 (< 1% global electricity)

Wind 150 (2% global electricity)

Nuclear – U.S. 0.1 (19% U.S. electricity)
Facebook and Google both have differing "public and private stances" on issues like mass surveillance and net neutrality.
Sure: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/bda7c7075...

The problem with CO_2 concentration is that it's a lagging indicator, and that any attempts to lower emissions has to fight against the increased use of energy as economies in Asia and Africa are catching up.

Politics is slow, and there are few mechanisms in international law to enforce treaties. But an international agreement can work, for example by giving politicians arguments ("We're required to do it, because we promised it", "We're not going to lose competitiveness, because everyone is doing it").

Thanks to subsidies, solar and wind power have become cheaper by several orders of magnitude and are now getting close to being competitive with fossil fuels, at least in some regions. Crossing that threshold would obviously be an inflection point.
You think that you are sure, but you are wrong. The numbers are found a few posts above.
