What I would add is that as well as there is an "internal knowledge fee" there is also a "good employee/risk fee".

An employee ready to jump ship quicker than his peers means that his value is reduced to the organization, precisely because the long term value of the "internal knowledge fee" is reduced!

I agree with the OP's tactical move, but strategically I'm not so sure the mindset is the correct one. Maybe I was lucky, but I always had managers that stuck their necks for me. Full-time employment is not a consulting job that is fire & forget.
How Is Artificial Intelligence Changing the Public Sector?
I'm disappointed. As I scroll down, I was hoping the article was written (and signed) by a robot.
all the negative publicity for Goop probably helps them by getting the name out. 'Any publicity is good publicity'.
I keep seeing articles like this that fail to point out an important fact. The economy has been strong for a long time and it is a workers market. Once there is another downturn it will be an employers market. Job hoppers will be lucky to land interviews, much less command high salaries. That is unless you are in the top % of your skill level or have some skill like Oracle DBA that is highly sought after.

I worry about younger people shaping their world view and career around the last 10 years. I did that an in 2002 when I was laid off it was a painful few years of realization not finding work.
The World Bank’s Broken Promise to the Poor (2015)
FWIW in the UK the pay gap favours young women I gather; it changes over somewhere around the time a lot of women take a career break (32 IIRC, will try and trace the source).

It's interesting because younger women hear the USA stats and complain about how they're being hard done by.
I think you're underestimating the determination kids have for accessing content they are told they can't have.

"good enough" here isn't good enough.

I'm going to draw parallels with online piracy again, where countless DRM and legal (both through legislation and litigation) efforts are made to curb piracy yet rarely make a dent on the numbers of people who access copyrighted content illegally via one means or another.

Exactly. The tech is called LPAR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_partition
Agreed. But I think that's why encouraging a servant leadership model in your company is beneficial.

Which is better for the company? (A) Leader acts in such a way to make him or herself 150% effective, or (B) Leader acts in such a way as to make all of his or her direct reports 115% effective?

If a leader can't make their team more effective, then why have them in leadership?

Correct me if I'm wrong (I read the article, but am a little confused), but shouldn't the message of that article be "Take the lower pay, assuming that also corresponds with a higher level of [Job Satisfaction, Growth Potential, Work-Life Balance, etc]"?

Mainframes used to be a lot about concurrent I/O for transaction processing - e.g. booking/check-in/handling of airline passengers or yes, batch transactions in the millions (e.g. end of day calculation within banks or financial information providers).

Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough, but I can't see anywhere in this, or your subsequent half-dozen replies to this thread, where you specify what the actual food supplements were that you took that cured your hayfever.

I know of one non-orthodox treatment that's meant to be very effective, but relatively hard to come by, and certainly comes with its own set of challenging side-effects - hookworm.

Anyway, it sounds like it was more than just moringa tree extract and acupuncture -- so in order to allow your fellow HN'ers to conduct their own experiments for hayfever (those of us in the southern hemisphere are about to revel in the joy of same in the next few weeks), that'd be great.
You don't actually need to have a bank account in order to use Wechat payment. Someone can just send you money over wechat and it would still work, just a 1000rmb/month limitation. If you're a tourist it should be fine.
Ask HN: Will Amazon ever replace your local convenience store?
Will Amazon ever replace your local convenience store?
By convenience store I am referring to:

1. your local grocery store (US urban areas call them bodegas)
2. your local independently owned gas station (Sunoco, BP, etc...)
3. your local pharmacy (CVS, Joe's Pharmacy, etc...)

Places where you can buy gas, candy, smokes, odds and ends items that you don't feel like going to a big box store.

The reason this question came up is because my friend works a job where the company he works for purchases bulk cell phone accessories from China, (cases, chargers, adaptors, cables, etc...) and sells them to convenience stores (to resell to their customers) at a markup. I wrote down in my notes "Amazon will never replace the convenience store". I hate saying the word never... Thoughts?

The big safety wins from Rust for me are things like the type system disallowing iterator invalidation, the type system handling resource releases, iterators making bounds checks a lot more affordable, the shared immutable/unique mutable distinction, the ability to encode that something can't keep a value somewhere accidentally, type system enforced thread safety, and others in that category.

Why would I need a good understanding of C++ to consider these built-in facilities or the ones that just happen due to the type system as safer?

Booting VMs on your worker seems like exactly the kind of debris concourse is encouraging the avoidance of by enforcing the containerisation of your builds. That said, I can't think of a reason why you couldn't boot a VM in a privileged Garden container, have you tried?
When I started in this industry, my father, who also works in this industry gave me this advice. Something along the lines of "if you want a raise, go somewhere else, that's the only way to move up quickly". He was right, three times in the last 4-5 years.
Ironically I find the developers, who have stayed at company for 10 years the worst for this. They've been maintaining the same product, for similar requests for the past years. Doing the exact same thing.

Pharmaceutical research.
As a field tech, and someone who visits a bunch of construction sites (mostly data centers). I seriously feel that the author needs to get out of their tech/fincial social bubbles.

Personally I carry around a few hundred pounds of tools. This is enough that it would take me me an hour or two every day to load and unload (since this would happen at least twice, maybe 8 times).

Likewise I also get a stipend to increase both my car insurance and renters insurance to cover my tools (electrical test equipment). It would not be acceptable to forgo this coverage, nor is it a frequent enough problem for a startup to even consider (since a lot of there real advantage is ignoring edge cases in my opinion).

Even construction workers here carry tons of tools in their vehicles, just in case (and they can be on the same site for a year). Since shared tools are kind of bad.

Likewise I couldn't imagine the anger a client would have if I showed up 2 hours later than before to an emergency, because I needed to wait for the mercy of a ride hailing company to even arrive. That then went through a likely jammed highway because some automated program wanted eyes on the traffic status.

The middle class also has immense pride in their cars. It is similar to how some programmers brag about 20 or 90 hour weeks, their strange gut improving diets, or their vacations to somewhere far.

I don't think my comment implies we ditch digital search indexes. I just think Google as a replacement for properly curated search indexes is the problem here. For general web site searches Google is great but if you're looking for a particular topic it often comes up with sites that aren't even relevant (again my shortwave listening hobby is a great example of this problem). It's pretty hard to work just Google alone when you need a solid base to work from in terms of sites and documents for niche topics. It's why I tend to go back to books for my niche interests. You can't expect Google to handle every possible case because it won't do its primary well.

"extra 25-50%" - That's really bad financial mangament on the employees part. 20-50% per annum extra, invested and compounded is A LOT of money. Literally for some people that could be an extra million at retirement.
> Most line managers worth working for, value their teams and will fight for them if they are unhappy, without the threats.

Agreed. I've already gotten my team the best raise/promotion that I could. If they can find better at a different company, I wish them well.

And that's not sarcastic. I genuinely wish them well. It hurts to let a good employee go, and finding/training a replacement sucks, but we're all kind of stuck in this shitty US corporate culture together, and we have to look out for ourselves.
I prefer "libraries of Congress" as my storage unit of choice.
> Why exactly should people like me leave when even places like <insert large company> want to pay me 10% less than I make now?

You shouldn't, necessarily. However consider that <insert large company> may offer more career advancement (if that's your goal). Also consider that you're going to be well-liked by hiring managers who mistake "years at the same company" with "years of experience", and those managers are much more common than not. They're as mistaken as the people they deride as having "the same year of experience 10/20 times", but because of the way work has evolved they have a lot of cultural inertia behind them.
You are wrong, like most homeopathy critics.

Have you ever observed typical homeopathy users—middle to upper-middle class mothers of young children—in their natural habitat?

I have. They're all "true believers" in that they really think homeopathic remedies are useful, for themselves and their kids. And yet, despite that, they also exhibit a well developed instinct on when not to rely on homeopathy and send themselves or the child off to a "real" medical practitioner. Strange, isn't it?

It ceases to be inexplicably strange if you think about their shared belief in homeopathy as a socially evolved strategy about how to keep themselves and (more crucially) their children away from doctors in those plentiful cases of minor sniffies where a doctor is overkill and actually more likely to do harm than do any better than "doing nothing".

The sad thing is that society doesn't allow a mother to just "do nothing". Where there's no accepted alternative, she "must" visit a doctor, lest she be accused of neglecting her duty to care for her children.

That's why it seems that some parts of society—and not the stereotypically "stupid" ones at all—have evolved mechanisms that afford them social license to avoid the doctor when the doctor is more likely to do harm than good.

Maybe one day Pocket Casts will have a public API or perhaps be willing to officially license him to use their private API. Or maybe he should spend next weekend and write the backend part himself. He certain seems to have the talent to do so.

Doesn't bitcoin compete more with electronic money than it does with cash?

That it is person to person makes it like cash, but moving a dollar with bitcoin isn't quite as convenient as moving a dollar with cash, whereas moving $5000 with bitcoin is vaguely comparable to moving $5000 using a bank transfer (the value has to be present at the bank/in bitcoin, etc).

Not sure it was done purposely here, but frequently the "Best Such and Such" wording is used for Google, which in turn is because that's what people search for. Those seeking higher Google SERP rankings (everyone) are rewarded for using phrases like "Best Cloud Storage" as their title, h1, and in the description text. I agree with you though, and it'd be nice to see this go away, but it won't until Google changes how this works (or perhaps they already did, but websites assume they're still on to something).
Corporations are rational.

They care about one thing, dollars. If you are making them money, they will keep you no matter what. If you are not making them money, they will get rid of you. Pretty rational I think.

For life. If the track they want is on that service, otherwise they need 2 $10 subscriptions. Or 3. Now tell me - do you think that helps the small artists who get a tiny % of listens and thus practically no revenue at all from sales?

I bought hundreds of pounds worth of music, and now I listen to it. Sometimes I buy some more stuff. I'll never have to pay to listen to Dark Side of the Moon again though - and I'm happier that way.
The amazing internet infrastructure in Korea caused them to develop many service that relied on Internet Explorer, preventing them to pick up new standard as easily as countries that were later to the party.

That's probably the same kind of stuff here. The US did develop a universal non-cash system decades before other countries and now is stuck with its quirks. Europe started later and is slightly better. China started even later and could just use the fact that even poor people had an internet connected computer with them at all times except in the shower.
That's an interpretation that I had not seen before. You would probably need to provide some more references to evidence for that claim in order to combat the down voting.
This is a big problem when you're by yourself. I tried some indie game dev, and although I loved the code and what I was doing it meant that I was sitting at home by myself 24/7 with no human interaction.

I'm just not social/agreeable enough to easily make friends or talk to strangers in random locations. At least at work, even though the work is often boring and I'm mostly working the whole day I still get to have some random interactions on a daily basis.
There are a few articles around with similar pickings.

Indeed. "If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns" seems to apply here too. If anything, it will make it easier to impersonate a human, because people will assume that if it doesn't self-identify as a bot, it must be a human.

One of the more interesting games that, in the UK, had pretty much gone no where, was "Settlers of Catan". Then, around 1998 IIRC, it got a 10/10 in a gaming magazine and I think this, very much, spawned the revival of German board games on the UK games scene.

Before then it really was mainly war games (warhammer et al), RPGs, and card games (Magic TG from about 1993 onwards).

There are some absolutely fantastic games out there, but just don't buy from the top X games. Know the size of your play group and buy to suit them.

For example Agricola is a great game, but works best with 3-4 players. My group has 5 players so it's "ok" https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31260/agricola

Recent games that have surprised us. If you like poker, Sheriff of Nottingham and 5 players is exceptionally good fun in a group prepared to be able to put on silly voices and get into character. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/157969/sheriff-nottingha...

Also Camel Up is great for parties (up to 10 people with the expansion) and kids love it as well but is a lot of fun in groups of 5 https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/153938/camel

Group dynamic is important in buying the 'right' game but you cannot go wrong with Settlers of Catan if you can get 4 players. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13/catan

If you have a local game shop, or even better, a local games cafe, you can usually get a chance to try out a game. Just remember to buy from them. They are your gateway to a whole new dynamic computer games has pretty much tried to destroy.

Board games are so so so good these days, just avoid Monopoly. ;)

The things you mentioned have been studied scientifically and have been found wanting. The most likely scenario here is the placebo effect. This is why doctors don't complain too much when their patients take on the more relatively harmless fake medicine. If it makes you subjectively better, isn't causing real harm, you aren't avoiding real medical treatment (like the chemo you might need), and isn't bankrupting you... then go for it.
