Indians eat a fuck ton of dairy and eggs. Vegetarian diets aren't a problem -- human cultures have not eaten meat since basically forever. However, vegan diets are a modern thing. No civilization has ever adopted a completely vegan diet.
I don't know why people take this stuff so personally. I maintain open source resources and for the most part people have been fine. Most of my complaints are that I don't always get reproducible bugs and I don't have enough time to do everything. Even if someone comes in acting all entitled, that's their problem, not mine - since in reality I'm under no obligation to support their use case.

I understand that as infrastructure maintainers, you only get noticed when your stuff breaks, so you may feel under siege for doing a thankless job, but honestly the incentives will never change, so it's probably helps to try to recognize how much control you have in that kind of situation.
That is slightly inacurate, "Engineer" is not a regulated title in France. What is though is the "graduated engineer" (Ingénieur diplômé) title.

This is right, the problem with healthcare has to be insurance. The biggest pocket of customers for health care companies don't pay out of pocket. They are covered by their employers. So they don't see money going out of their pocket and in a perverse way the higher the amount the insurance company pays the better the customer might feel thinking they got good service or a great treatment. So there is no incentive for the health care company to reduce costs at all. Since people don't care about the costs of procedures there is no set/prescribed cost for any procedure and everything just gets bloated every year.

More so, these pocket of customers have no idea how the other pocket, that pays out of pocket, feels. They have never experienced it and will never know, so they have no incentive to fight for them. The health care lobby and republicans are putting a good spin that these out of pocket people are causing the costs to rise. IF the majority of the people actually pay out of pocket the costs will immediately come down for everything. Both hospitals, doctors and medicine. I have seen things in India where most of them pay out of pocket and the costs are very low. I heard, these days insurance is screwing things up there as well. Extending that logic, a single payer health care system where one party has the power to negotiate could actually help a lot in bringing the price down.
Did you build the groundbreaking platform solo or did you and a team build it?

Is it truly groundbreaking on its own merit or is this a personal adjective?

If you are part of a team and you are putting in long hours where other team members (çloser to bosses ear) are not, you may brew issues. Pull others in, delegate, share some credit, involve the team.

How well have you self-promoted this groundbreaking (yuge claim btw) platform outside of your own team? Does anyone else at the company know your name or are you the "guy in the basement carrying/justifying three positions with your output"?

It is very tough to catch rec in a large org where everyone is pitted against eachother for promotions.

Some ideas are:

1. Be careful touting your hours worked as a metric for promotion. Sometimes you look like a sucker rather than a leader deserving promo. Also toutimg hours automatically makes coworkers appear bad. If they have the managers ear, you tell me how this goes.

2. Consider the word "promotion". If your looking to a manager to "promote you", make it easy for him/her by promoting yourself first. Show other groups/team members this project. Become a trainer. Shake hands and kiss babies accross your org. Let them have no option but to speak your name in conjuction with this groundbreaking platform.

Im in a similar boat. The above are some things ive done to stand out and be promoted. Lots of groundwork over 3-4 years.

My office got a call on a great deal for a renewal on our subscription and our new pricing .. and our sales rep would give us a good deal since we had a subscription for a while... it would only be 2x what it currently was. We cancelled it and went to box. Easy and much happier.
This is really excellent advice. Too many people work too hard for too long before learning this the hard way.

By all means do a good job, but don't kill yourself. Your employer will not do the same for you.
You can get decent kerning in Word, but you have to enable it manually in every style along with automatic hyphenation. The result looks good as long as the paragraphs are not justified. Justification is terrible because of the awful line-breaking algorithm Word uses.

InDesign, on the other hand, basically copied TeX's line-breaking algorithm but they tweaked it so that it could be applied in real time.
Unfortunately there's no silver bullet, but I'll share my opinion/thoughts.

If the game is to move up the ladder, then it's best to understand what management thinks is important. What does your boss really value, and how do you think they see you?

If you know underachievers that are getting promoted, then somebody doesn't think they're underachievers. Are they more vocal/communicative about their work? Do they take your boss(es) out for lunch or hang out on the weekends? Do they dream up new initiatives and share ideas? Good work often goes overlooked, so it's probably on you to make sure your bosses know what you're up to.

You might even consider seeking an objective appraisal of your work (well, as objective as possible). Does your new platform _really_ deliver enough value to warrant a promotion? Maybe, I have no idea.

If it turns out that your work really _is_ undervalued, and the politics game isn't for you, then it might be better to move on.
ok. Sorry I had to look up the definition of fake: "not genuine; counterfeit". So I guess fake is valid in this case. I was thinking fake meant "not real" or that it didn't actually do the same functionality.

The not-so-secret way of getting raises and promotions in the tech world is to switch jobs.
Sounds great in theory, unfortunately, this doesn't really work in many situations because you need to be doing the job you were hired for.

Really, do you want more money or a better title? A better title doesn't really help at all and in fact can hinder. What you want is more money. Best way to get that is to move to another company.

If you want to be promoted to management, you need to learn politics and management. Lots of books on audible can help you with that.
People aren't just bad at life they are bad at understanding their own relationship with things and predicting what will satisfy them.

People will be subtley dissatisfied with things without examination of why or attempting to alleviate this dissatisfaction.

It is meaningless to posit people are satisfied with the state of things as if this said anything about the value of the current state of things or how people would react to an improvement.

People could have been said to be as satisfied with pocket pcs back around win ce.

Hi HN,

This is a project I've been working on for a while now. It's a hobby horse to try new technologies, but I've really enjoyed working on it.

I'm a fan of the GamesDoneQuick (gamesdonequick.com) speedrun marathon that pops up to the top of Twitch twice a year. Inspired by previous sites that have done visualizations like this, I decided to take a crack at realtime stats last year.

This is the current iteration of GDQStatus, which is powered by React + Recharts and AWS Lambda.

The site itself is static - which is hosted in Github pages, and data is fetched from S3 (as a caching layer) with hot data served by a Lambda.

Let me know if you have any questions!
A coin is worthless if you own all of it. It's only valuable if everyone owns some of it.
Yes, that's correct. That's the big disadvantage to the topological method I talk about (developed by Vladimir Arnold); it can only prove stuff about the general nth-degree formulas, whereas Galois theory can prove stuff about specific polynomials (e.g., that x^5 – x – 1 is unsolvable in radicals).

On the other hand, the topological method can be easily extended to prove stuff about formulas including other continuous, single-valued operations, like exponential and trigonometric functions, and Galois theory has a harder time with this.
This is definitely true, so far as it goes. For many types of medical care it is unreasonable to expect a patient to act in a price setting capacity on the demand side.

However there are many types of medical care where that is very reasonable! LASIK and cosmetic surgery are classic examples because they elective and have historically not been covered by any insurance. You can see cosmetic surgery prices on ads in the NY city subway. Other kinds of care, such as dentistry, orthodontia, and vision services, also have very well-functioning markets, largely because insurance has historically not covered these things. Lots of non-urgent care (primary medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, psychiatrics, orthopedics, many surgeries) would probably have well-functioning markets if they were separated from the insurance system.

Now, that's all the cheap stuff. The expensive stuff (hospitalizations, cancers, chronic disease) that makes up the bulk of the US health expenditure - yeah. You can't expect a patient to come in and argue with the doctor about whether they really need that saline drip. But in a properly functioning market, there is another entity that can and should (and does) act as a price-setter mechanism on the demand side, and that is the insurance company.

The problems show up when
1. there is only one supplier in a market
2. the insurer is required by law to cover a certain thing
3. the supplier does not face a price control, and through (1) and (2) has unlimited pricing power

This is very acute with prescription drugs. Even generic drugs sometimes only have one supplier because the process of getting FDA approval is so onerous. It is also very acute when you have hospital and physician consolidation within markets, so that medical suppliers can effectively act as a cartel.

So - deal with the supply side problems. Stop the cartel behavior. Make it easier to sell prescription drugs and open hospitals. Allow consumers to act as consumers when it makes sense (by excluding basic medical services from the insurance system) and reserve insurance for the risky, expensive, hairy stuff. This is the path forward, and it all follows very neatly from basic supply and demand.
Sorry, I thought IPOs make companies beholden to quarterly profits and lose much of their pre-IPO spark. My mistake.
There is a large set of non-optional and emergency medical procedures where competition will remain nonexistent. Personally, I hope for AI to provide answers to cost-benefit analysis (treatment costs X, will reduce/improve chances by Y).
> Extending that logic, a single payer health care system where one party has the power to negotiate could actually help a lot in bringing the price down.

Which was another big argument for single-payer. Medicare is know for negotiating the lowest prices, and practices prefer higher rate negotiated insurances than Medicare.

"same functionality" includes a LOT more than just the basic functions. It also includes voltage tolerance, noise resistance, and all of the other things you dismissed.
When I was a young chicken, I thought all I had to do was work hard and I would be appreciated and promoted. This was 20+ years ago and it was no truer then than it is today.

Know your worth. You need to calculate in your head how much you save the company through automation and take it back to the pen / paper and filing cabinet days. It's probably in the hundreds of thousands a year. If a company is expecting you to kill yourself, it's because of their screw up. The guy asking you will take the credit for the miracle you provided because of his excellent management skills.

The OP should take that as the slap in the face that it is and move on to a company that is more appreciative of his skills.

Also, don't work for cheap, it dilutes the craft.

>The colloquial form we speak at home doesn't do it any justice.

In a certain sense the spoken form of a language is its true form. The written form are rules that get frozen at an artificially defined moment in time, but the spoken language keeps evolving. Another way to look at this is that writing systems are a relatively new phenomena for humans. In terms of time scale, if you consider that spoken language has been around for 24 hours, writing has only existed since about 11ish pm.

In a court of law, personal testimony is evidence. It isn't necessarily compelling by itself, but the idea that it isn't evidence because you don't like it is not actually how the legal system (or culture) works.
The OP is about media that isn't owned by one of the big 6 mega-corps, not about media that is bias-free. There's no such thing as bias-free media, because media is written / edited / produced by humans who inherently have bias.

There is also a possibility that the manager would convince the employee to stay, and even give promotion, while behind the scenes start a replacement process, so that in a few weeks when the employee has rejected the other offer, he/she is fired from this company too.

I wonder if there's a way to protect against that.
I _really_ doubt it's an iron deficiency considering how much iron is spammed into every particle of fortified grain within the US, and how much grain the average person consumes overall. If anything, I'd guess that it's too much iron.

I think your statement is correct but example is not very good. Majority of Dropbox users are using Windows. Perhaps if Azure were to come out with Dropbox-like functionality this would be more apt. (I'm sure that Azure has at least some Dropbox-like functionality but is still a distance away from replacing Dropbox)
Yeah.

My personal opinion is that it's because insurance leads to, basically, 1/2 of a market. We allow suppliers to set prices however they want, but we mandate that insurance buy the thing, which essentially gives them no negotiating leverage. (Worse: post-obamacare, we mandate that insurance co profits are a fixed percentage of insurance premiums, so they don't have any incentive to negotiate low prices anyway). The data showing "specialists are expensive", I think, is mostly just a historical accident; primary care and prescription drugs have traditionally been more sensitive to demand pressure because of the way deductibles and copays worked. I suspect that since primary care is now a required $0 copay service, in 10 years those costs will look aberrantly high as well.
I was with you until you said negotiate with the current manager. Unless OP came up with this 70 hour a week thing all on his or her own, his or her manager had some hand in leading OP to believe that delivering this platform (or whatever) would get the promotion OP wants. One of the most basic responsibilities a manager has to a report is managing the report's career, ie what work merits a promotion. So either OP made some stuff up entirely in OP's head with no input from OP's manager (bad, a manager should be proactively discussing this) or OP's manager led OP astray (really bad).

Either way, I'd suggest rolling the dice and starting over elsewhere. And this time, OP needs to be really clear with the new manager on what OP wants and what work or deliverables gets OP there.
There is. You should try to see through what the manager has in plan. If its a case of negotiation it might work.

But if you are nothing more than a work donkey to him, and he likely has other pets at office who will receive his favors regardless, just take the new offer and leave.

Working a lot will almost never lead to "a promotion". The environment you are in doesn't see the issue with you working 70 hours and did nothing to mitigate it. That is poor management, poor product definition and poor program management. Run from these situations.

Startups that tout "we work hard, we play hard", avoid them. That is synonymous with "you work hard, we hope to profit". Sadly at a YC recruiting event some years back there was an SF startup touting "we are a family" and "we meet with customers after hours to get input" as positive things. I wish I recalled the name of the startup. Unless it is your own startup or you have significant equity (founders shares), your 70 hours is a nice charitable gift to management and the investors.

I've been guilty of this. Caring about the company, product, etc. only to pull my head out of my ass, realize the negative impact on my life and walked away before the 1st year cliff of vesting.
I want to commend you on taking the opportunity to examine the situation rather than just letting it go. It can be really hard to break out of a rut. While everyone else is suggesting the obvious; find someone who will pay you more, I'm going to offer a slightly different angle because when you mention other people who are underperforming are being considered and that you are good at office politics, it raises a red flag for me.

First, I would recommend taking a long look at your communication skills. Growing in the workplace is often about effectively selling your vision and then making sure it gets executed. Whether its a corporate strategy or a update to an internal microservice, you're going to need to get people to buy-in to your ideas. Just because you can do the work, doesn't mean you can get other people to do the work too.

Second, another concern of mine is that you aren't properly understanding the goals of the company, or those of your immediate supervisors at least. If you put in an insane amount if hours and hit all your deadlines, but people who work less and cause delays are being considered for a promotion instead of you, it leads me to believe you might be doing things you aren't asked to do, which leads me to believe you might be a bit of a rogue employee, always doing what you think is best even if it's not what your supervisor wanted.

Finally, another nod to communication skills. The fact that you put in so much time and your colleagues might not be, makes me wonder if you don't work well in a team. If you're a solo 10xer, great! but you still have to work with other people if you want to grow within a company.

regardless, the absolute most important thing is that you are very correct to question the circumstance. Something has to change!
>Another bit of advice: do not work much more than 40 hours a week on a sustained basis. Over my 20 year career I have observed negative correlation between that and promotions.

Isn't that a strange twist of human nature in the US workplace? The harder you work, the less respected you are. It's absolutely true though.
