I've taken similar pay cuts in the past. It does suck. The answer almost always is to let your boss know (very gently) that you expected more. If they say no, start looking (casually) for a new job. If you can find one that pays more, either take it or show your boss the offer letter and ask for a better raise. If you can't find one that pays better, then yeah, you're getting the best you can. Either increase your skills and build your resume until you can find one that pays better, or just figure out if money is the ultimate goal or if there's something less tangible at the company that makes you happy.

I stayed with a company after they gave me a 0.25% raise in a year. I stayed because I loved the company. As soon as that was not true, I started looking for a place with a similar benefit package but a higher salary, and I found one. Talk to your boss very casually. Don't demand more money, but let them know you expected more and ask what you could do to earn a better raise in the future. If there is nothing you individually can do that will impact your future earnings potential at the company, that company is just a short-term step on your long-term career roadmap. Enjoy it while it lasts, and keep one ear to the ground for better opportunities in the future.

> I guess the ex-admin wants to work in manual labor or fast food

You'd be surprised. I did something somewhat similar and was convicted of a federal felony. No fast food place or retailer would touch me with that record. But ironically I've found plenty of IT work with smaller companies.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I want to preface this by saying: "before passing judgement, context is always necessary."

Mario Savio was a Free Speach Activist and organized a protest to protect the Freedom of Speech at Berkeley around the 60s. In his speech to protestors, he says "there's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious... that you can't take part... and you've got to indicate to the people in charge that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from running at all!" Applied to free speech, this notion of disrupting the functioning of an organization was lauded, because freedom of speech is just that important.

But let's shift to employment. Without employment, it's very hard to survive. And here's a situation where the people in charge has the upper hand in every arena- hiring, pay, work Place behavior... etc. How do we know that the ex-admin wasn't blackmailed by the CEO to come back to work for free to fix something, or future references will be negative? Why are we so quick to side with the employer in this matter when we know nothing of the situation at all? Why do we start calling the employee a felon? He hasn't even been charged yet.

My point is, context is important. Fine, corporations have the power to ruin your life as a deterrent to keep you from acting against their interests, and that's just the way society is. And fine, We're not all rational at every instance of life. The calculus of establishing status quo equilibrium of those two conditions/constraints is hard, but without context to the situation, who are we to decide who's right or wrong? Would you label Mario Savio wrong for protesting and urging protestors to prevent the operation of the college from functioning in the name of preserving Free speech wrong? No, because you've learned the context.

This is another copycat move by amazon. Looks like USA companies are copying Chinese ecommerce. This is the second instance first amazon launched amazon pay copying Alipay. Now merchant loan which is done by alibaba for last 10 years. Hopefully they are able to acknowledge it's innovated in China.
Chicago owes a fair and equal competing market and what they've done is permit two totally different regulatory paradigms to exist at the same time: conventional taxes, and new taxies, sometimes also called ride sharing which is obviously bullshit to get around being called a taxi and regulated as a taxi.

Uber and Lyft rides are also investor subsidized, and that is likewise market distorting.

The city of Chicago, like many other cities, simply doesn't know what to do. They lacked the knowledge and/or the courage to either regulate Uber and Lyft etc just like taxis; or end the taxi monopoly and take some role with handling the total collapse of the medallion market (partial buy back perhaps).

But any of these meallion owners should investigate a hair cut negotiation with their lenders or talk to a bankruptcy attorney. There is no good reason for these people to be in debt on a useless asset. It's every bit as much their mistake to loan, as it was the lenders mistake to lend.

It's worse than just pricing.. I've had several taxis "pretend" their meter stopped working, to try to scam a cash ride.

I find that hard to believe. References for this claim are readily available.
You know, I feel like this sometimes too. For me, however, I've just got to try some things. I've been doing it for 25 years and although I make a few hundred a month on my ideas, nothing has been a big enough hit to let me walk away from my day job. I suppose I either don't know how to find the "luck" or I don't stick with the same idea long enough. I do build a lot of things though. Some of them make a little money and some of them get amazing feedback that makes it all worth it.

Build something. It doesn't have to be perfect. Hell, it doesn't even have to be good. Just get it done. Try it once, maybe you'll be hooked.

I'm a big fan of ride sharing and I share your frustration with taxis, but I do think they have a point here.

The judge says: "Were the old deemed to have a constitutional right to preclude the entry of the new into the markets of the old..."

If you're willing to admit that it's the same market, the taxes and fees from the city should be lifted. It's absolutely unfair otherwise.
Nope. It could be system generated and disseminated over secure channels.

Password rotation becomes necessary, and a little bit riskier, because now you have to deal with accidental lock-outs in a sane, coordinated manner.
USB-C is a fancy and quite complicated standard that is complicated mostly because it can negotiate varying link protocols and because it can handle being connected in two or four different orientations [1]. For PCIe slots, it's always PCIe and it's always plugged in the same direction, so USB-C wouldn't buy much.

[1] USB-C to USB-C cables don't have the symmetry they appear to have. Each end can be independently upside down.
I'm a product seller on Houzz and it's been a great platform for us to reach a more design-centric clientele.

Though from my perspective, it seems hard to tell what their main focus has been over the last year or so. I've talked to friends and coworkers and they all seem to know about the site, though mostly only know it for the great interior photos. Many seem to miss the fact that many of the products in the photos are also for sale.

I haven't seen many improvements in the seller tools over the past year, and their service team seems very manual. Example: It can take days for them to respond to processing a return request. Something that I can by myself on many other platforms. I feel bad for my customers who need to deal with a return or support request from them as a lot of what I can do to help instantly is simply not available. I hope with the additional resources they can direct some of it to customer support improvements soon.

That all said, maybe the store on the site is just an afterthought and they have some other grand scheme at play.
Pfft we don't sue at the drop of a hat here in Canada.

There's been several recent recalls of flour over the last few months and other foods tainted but you don't see people suing. The government cracks down but people here can't be bothered to be so petty.

I mean sure it happens if it's really serious but for small stuff people would just think you're a dick.
Step 1. Start quietly looking for another job that pays 20% more than you currently make. You'll likely find something.

Step 2. Take the new job.

Rationale for not making a stink with your current employer or negotiating with them once you have an offer:

1. right now you likely feel some combination of under appreciated, used, taken advantage of, etc. and that feeling likely won't change as time goes on. You are likely not wrong for feeling that (even if you suck and are lucky to not be fired). The compensation system didn't meet your expectations and there is really no way to remedy that.

2. Current company will likely not match a 20% bump and if they do it will further the aforementioned feeling of being taken advantage of.

It's time to move on.
This is a great move toward biomarker-driven, tumor-site agnostic targeted therapies in oncology. I attended ASCO 2017 last week, where LOXO showcased data from larotrectinib in a variety of adult and pediatric indications with Trk-fusions. The waterfall plot is fairly impressive, and I'd be shocked if this drug was not the next to be approved across cancers based on biomarker status alone.

This is a very submissive approach to handling things. I'm not condoning the opposite- pure aggression, but it seems that you're holding what others think of you as something worth preserving, which is fine. But when you attach words like "integrity" and "reputation," it has this "holier than thou" feel to it.

The large majority of the population will succumb to "what's normal" vs. "what's for the best" to avoid being casted unfavorably. Your regimented approach to seek out the carved out channels of recourse, dictated by authority, suggests you won't combat for change.

We live in a society, yes, and we have norms to abide to. But when we propagate the notion that everyone should put their heads down for the sake of reputation, then the world will never progress.
Trader Joe's own staff are already highly motivated because they're paid really really well.

The reason they don't set up in Canada is not lack of motivation, but that as a chain they'll have to get all sorts of products certified as suitable for sale. Most countries have strict rules about the import and sale of fresh produce or meat. Trader Joe's doesn't want to open a store that doesn't carry a full line of products, which would damage their brand. As a small store owner this guy was able to skate on all that regulatory overhead.
Know the Numbers!

it's hard to find an answer to question 1, as those who know the answer don't want to make it public, but my guess is it's "whatever they feel like" depending on many factors. Those factors can be out of your control or not (budget issues, crappy project where your skills didn't shine, or you preferred taking it more easy because of your life choices)

If you salary is above average and you won't find companies with better salaries, then you're probably one of the highest paid in town, you should feel good about this. But if you know other companies around who pays better, then one course of action is to apply to those in hope of a better salary. If you have friends in those companies, try gathering information about their past year raise and their salaries. Try gathering information about friends in your current company too, but not close co-workers, as they might feel uncomfortable discussing this. Instead, since you're in a big company, ask people in a team far away from you, you don't need the exact number, but at least an approximate that you can use in your talk with your manager. Try to find the policy at your company, if they say somewhere (could be in your offer letter) the yearly raise is between 0 and X%

Regarding question 2: yes you want to make it clear that you want a bigger raise, but you don't want to appear greedy. You can mention cost of living in your town, the raises that your friends in your company got, or it's even better to mention the raises your friends got at the other companies, this will give a cue to your manager that you know you could get a better deal somewhere else. Don't say "I want more money", but instead show that there's a sound reasoning about why you want more money : The cost of housing is going up significantly, you want to start putting money aside for a future down-payment, inflation rate is X%, etc. Since you did a good job you think the You today is a better asset to your company that You last year, because you now have expertise in X, Y, Z, and delivered A, B, C ... , so you'd expect a raise that reflect this, accounting for inflation of course. Assuming you know the policy about raise between 0 and X%, and let's say last year you only got X/3% , you could say that you've made a lot of progress this year, try to make your manager acknowledge your accomplishments, and once he does, say that as an above-average you expect at least X/2% given the annual raise policy is between 0 and X%. Since inflation was pretty strong this year, you'd expect even more to catch up.

Finally, you might find useful advice on how to approach these kind of situation, better written, in the book "Getting to Yes"
Of course, but "they" are notoriously known for being unable or refusing to see the light, vocally reveling in the primitive mud.

Thanks for this reclarification, lead me to do a little searching.

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/guiduuid-performance/

Has some helpful tidbits, like how pks get implicit copies to all other indexes making uuids quite expensive memory wise if you have a lot of referencing tables and a lot of indexes.

One of the recommendations I'm not sure on is to compress and reorder the uuid for time sequence.

I get the compression part (remove dashes, convert to bin with unhex), but I'm concerned reordering the uuid so the time sections are together (to order your writes better) might actually decrease entropy? and make collisions likely.

Does anyone here know much about uuid generation and whether the time sections reordered would make a difference across a table of around 100m~?

I think I might just go with internal incremental and external uuid. Solves the knowing key before insert problem with little downsides.

The time swap thing is now implemented in mysql8 (broken link in the mariadb post)

Inflation was 1.3% last year. I wouldn't call a 1.5% raise pay cut.
Maybe. To me it had a very "industrial-fish" smell is the best way I can put it. Not fishy like Thai fish oil, but maybe like an ocean oil spill site puréed, baked in the sun and concentrated? I remember it provoked a visceral reaction to not smell it more.

Well, if that's just severance that may be simpler case. But in general clawback clauses may extend years behind. OTOH, Wikipedia says[1]:

The prevalence of clawback provisions among Fortune 100 companies increased from lower than 3% prior to 2005 to 82% in 2010.

If everybody (or nearly everybody) starts doing so, then the competitive disadvantage of having such clauses is reduced, since it may still be better to have risky CEO job in F100 company than not having one.

I do the "solve your own problem" all the time. I have a list of "ideas" that I keep in a To-Do list app. I just counted and my idea list is 51 items long. Some of them are simple and some of them are complex. Many people say there's no value in an idea, it's about execution. So, maybe you don't need an idea.

Today I head this idea in a podcast... Listen to people's complaints. Do you hear the same complaint from multiple people? That's probably a good problem to solve.

Here are some idea's from my list; I doubt they will resonate, but maybe they'll get you started.

Simple Stat Recorder - Think Google Analytics (complex) meets the old school web page counter (simple). Omniture and Google have proven there's money here.

Independent Music Site - There was a site called Aimee Street that did this well. Tracks started free and then went up in price as they were purchased. Amazon bought it and shut it down. I miss it.

Search Netflix by Rating - A personal one; I want to search by rating such as NR, R, MA, PG-13, etc. I can't be the only one.

Now, go build something.

Ask HN: Best resources to teach a 6-year old to program
We just gave our son a Raspberry Pi as a birthday present and he is starting to get a grasp on how to use the UI, at least enjoying Minecraft and some other Python games. As he is going to first grade next school year, I was thinking on spending a couple of hours with him a week to teach him the fundamentals of programming (emphasis on the fun) so he can start learning to use the keyboard, create some simple game or some other fun software.

Any ideas are more than welcomed.

Thanks.

What if they want to open up in Canada and he's messing up their branding by running a sort of half-ass version of their store? It's not trivial for a corporation to get all the permits they need to do their full store model (selling fresh meat, produce etc.). Meantime his activities impact their brand identity. It's very possible that TJs has some rights here under NAFTA; I'm nto sure how that interacts with trademarks and so son but that is the sort of thing that trade agreements are designed to address in the first place.
Interesting, I've noticed this is also common in Toyota's US manufacturing facilities.

> Looks like a pretty simple site

If you ignore the fact that it's actually a full e-commerce platform, and ignore the machine vision categorization ("AI") and augmented reality aspects to their product, you also have to realize it's not a site, it's an ad platform that does probably just shy of $1B in annual revenue. Not so simple!

It's also not just some "site" that has a dev team of maintainers. Houzz is a full-on sales and marketing corporation. They'll likely be 2,000 employees soon. Only a small fraction would be software engineers (my guess, probably 70 growing to 100). There are likely a few hundred employees in the sales organization. A sizable marketing team. Maybe 500 account managers. A design team. An operations team. An editorial team. A non-trivial HR and recruiting team. An administrative support team.

At a guess, $400M is probably one year's payroll expenses for them.

I have no affiliation with Houzz and am actually ambivalent about them, FWIW. Just wanted to demonstrate that these things aren't so simple.
So do whistle blowers. That line of reasoning doesn't set the bar for what's right and wrong.

Are you sure no matter what the company did? What if the CEO threatened the ex-admins family? Or if the ex-admin found child porn on the CEOs computer?

There's a fine line between right and wrong in most situations. The most egregious acts of disobedience can be seen as defiance or foolish. It's not for you to decide- especially when there isn't any context to this whole situation.
Hi joosters,

I work for Patientory. Please explain why the application -- which is not proposed, but has actually been in development for 16 months -- is dumb. After all, it only has the potential to make data breaches in healthcare organizations a figment of the distant past, reduce health IT costs, and provide a universal medical record that's unhackable.
