Iran was a natural ally until the US dropped the gold standard and now it's in the middle of a proxy war with Russia for control of the trade of its oil and gas resources. That has led to a pretty massive disintegration of culture and governance. Go ahead and compare photos of Tehran in the 70s vs today.
10 Business Idea Assertions Mask the Real Challenge
I went the build your business route, if I had my time again I'd get the degree first, compared to the time, effort and risk of building a business taking 5 years to get a degree seems like time well spent. Getting a degree does not preclude you from starting a business, the reverse is not so universally true as youth is on your side when funding education in most countries. Few of my peers work in fields related to their degree, yet few would have their current standing were it not for holding a degree.

sorry I couldn't find it any more b/c suddenly articles about him is all over the internet and google doesn't help.

since 1898, China has been through a process longer than a century trying to figure out why we lagged behind. many had sharply criticised Chinese history, political system/heritages, culture, language, writing system, geological layout, even Chinese as a race. amongst them, Liu's view was actually not that extreme, nor innovative. It's fascinating to read through this slice of history, laughing at some remarks made by great figures, while appreciate their frustration as flawed human beings constrained by their times/knowledge/visions/environments.

as an entrepreneur, I think Liu's view is probably wrong and his political campaign has no clear target market. but he deserved a longer and healthy life.

> If you're offering a wage for months on end, and you can't fill the role, you aren't paying enough. Full stop.

Right. But don't forget that it's possible for a wage to simulatenously too low and too high.

It can be too low to higher anyone, but too high to be profitable to the employer. And in that case, the job is defunct.

Ignoring the 10,000 externalities your scenario completely ignores, why should such a person enjoy any more compensation than any other job? Everyone is enjoying the "fruits of their labour" from their wage. What makes you think this deserves more compensation?
Sorry! Thank you for exploring the Advanced features, I put a lot of effort into those, but they need more explaining. I'm pleased that you actually looked at it though :).

The audio feature doesn't actually play audio. It's supposed to generate input commands to put into ffmpeg. I would write more documentation, but my priority is to get the existing documentation translated to Chinese. I asked 4 friends over the past 3 months, all have promised to do it, but only one of them translated one page.

I don't think there's a way to do what you're asking using only client-side JavaScript. I would need a server to generate an audio file for you. Unfortunately, I don't have the money for that. The most I could do would be to generate an M3U playlist file, which you could then save and navigate using the chapter feature of your music player.

Although murdering people is really illegal. And that seems to deter at least some murderers. It's a similar logic with encryption. The only difference is that encryption is mostly used for non-nefarious purposes, but 99% murders are bad.

There is no reason to laugh at the statement. We should highlight that benefits of encryption far outweigh the few possible misuses. What he's saying is perferfectly logical if he views encryption like a weapon used by bad actors (like a sniper gun).

>Note that you used the passive voice, as though the circumstances are completely out of the employee's control.

If you've been put on a PIP, it means your employer has decided if your work doesn't get better, they're going to fire you.

Provided you haven't been phoning it in, this means you have to give an unsustainable amount in order to reach what they want from you. Seeing as how that's unsustainable, you're going to fail eventually.

These processes aren't really designed to help rectify the issue, they're designed to cover the companies arse against union action.
> The day I started wearing nice collared shirts and very subtly encouraging/allowing people to assume I come from privilege like they do (like almost everyone reading this does), I experienced an incredible reversal in career momentum. It completely turned my life around.

Sorry to hear that, but do you really think it's the perception of privilege? Isn't it more likely that you just started projecting the image of a competent pro that has his shit together, and people just responded to that? The only way to know for sure is to maintain your image while divulging your background. If your fortune changes, then you were right. Personally, I suspect people will respect you even more because you're even more competent and accomplished than your false image.
Many companies, particularly in areas like finance, or in C levels of management, will do this, paying employees for anywhere from a month to a year to not work. I’m not sure how much they can be enforced during that period, but as far as I’m aware the amounts of money are usually large enough for there to not be much of a problem enforcing them.
In general the firmware for these devices is loaded by the OS at startup, so the OS simply patches the firmware file.

I strongly disagree with this advice.

If it gets to the point of a PIP, you're in very hot water at most places. But that does not necessarily mean you are going out the door.

If you care about keeping your job, step one is to ascertain whether your management is truly willing to invest in working it out, or simply going through the motions. It's time to level with them and have some very probing conversations on what's going on to get all the cards on the table.

Most managers do not want to fire their reports, if they can help it. But a PIP is often the last breakpoint before they have to do the deed. And to be honest, even managers that want to make the PIP work often don't really know how to. So, yes, it's hard for both sides, but it's not hopeless.

If you decide management is being sincere about their desire to keep you, here's my advice:

- Stop whatever it is you think you need to do to do your job, listen to what they're asking of you, change your behavior, and ask for feedback when you think you've done well. A PIP is a sign that implicit expectations and communication have failed, so you need to fall back on being unnaturally explicit.

- Prepare for a rift in your personal relationship with your manager that is going to take some time to repair. It's likely a very awkward situation for both of you, and you are going to feel attacked. No easy way around that. Even if you succeed at getting out of the doghouse, the rift will persist until you start to rebuild the 2-way trust.

It's a bad spot to be in, and it's only going to work out if both parties believe it can work and are truly committed to doing some hard reflection and behavioral change.

Those were conscious biases though. Most people in our society try very hard to avoid even unconscious bias, often by being consciously biased against minority groups (this might range from small acts of kindness toward a minority group to nonprofits that serve minority groups to corporate inclusivity policies to government programs and affirmative action policies). Given all that, I have a hard time believing bias plays a large role in explaining disparities.
This is nice, and blew me back to some advice I think from a Bruce Lee book or interview I read or saw years ago on generally being fit.

It's hilarious to me that a rule enforced by external technical reasons (length of SMS) has become so important to the product that it's non negotiable.

Why can't I even, for example, add a text "attachment" the same way I attach photo, video, links, etc.? There's something hilarious about the CEO of Twitter screenshotting the "notes" app on his iPhone in order to send a message.
I find managing upwards is the best way to deal with these situations. I've had micromanagers before and no one enjoys that random "hey wheres X at?" question so what I do is give status updates every so often. I avoid the stressful question entirely this way.

It makes your managers life easier and yours as well and allows you to give updates on your time instead of theirs.

This works remotely and in person. I work my face off a lot of times so it's valuable to turn the tables and not get caught in the middle of something with a question that can take me out of work flow.

At the end of the day, managing people is very hard. Transperency works very well for me.
I agree with the title, as it's not optimal for role models to be primarily women who have power, success and happiness because they were born into it by luck.

However:

"Mulan is a bold Chinese warrior, respected and followed by her people…all of whom think she is a man, because she has deceived them by cutting her hair. The point here appears to be that to become a good leader, a woman should look and act like a man."

This person has severely misunderstood the point of Mulan.

Sounds a bit like: "Just give me the facts and let me make up my own mind."

This is a stupid attitude. This should not even need elaborating. There are always more facts pertinent to the situation than any one of us can process. We will almost never have the correct background to correctly understand and interpret the facts.

Some people voted for Trump because he "tell's it as it is" when he has been lying demonstrably over and over.

I would rather have a journalist (or five) report to me what Trump said, together with context that makes it meaningful, and pointing out when he is lying. For the same time invested that will give me a vastly superior understanding of the situation than reading him directly.

I'm sure we'll figure out how to have a meaningful public discourse within the context of the Internet eventually, but as it was when other technologies came about, those who are fundamentally interested in _not_ having a reasonable discourse that is listened too, but want to get their superficially plausible demagoguery heard are having their field day right now.

Its the use of hashcash as money, instead of making users see ads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashcash
Good point, well said, and I apologize for my misunderstanding.
For those interested from an executive chef. 10k? That's a shitty deal for the restaurant.

You have two things off the top of my head that are working against that: a) cash sales are easy. Really, if it's a small purchase they will prefer to buy I cash.

B)if it's a large purchase that the customer wants to pay in cash, (and assuming the restaurant does a lot of large tables/bookings), they can delete it from the system and avoid tax.

B) sounds shit I know, but it happens. I have seen it on multiple continents, over my professional life (17 years atm).

So what is 10k with a. 2-5% charge? A drop in the water.

Restaurants run on(best case) 25% costing. To put this into context the way we are taught is:

33% cost worst case. 33 food, 33 labour and overhead, 33 profit. Never works out like that (in a bad way), but that's your base.

Execitutuce chef's aim doe 25% to cover the losses in the other sectors(overstaff etc).

So a standard non-chain restaurant that charges $15 for a meal is looking at $5 "profit" worst case per meal.

If they are running at peak at all times with no downtime or overbook or refund due to screw up.

Which is great. Would be lovely. Never happens that way though. Not every day is busy, and people don't book(allowing restaurants to staff up).

Skipping all the intermediate parts, what little profit they make a cc takes a percentile off the top.

Doesn't seem like much to most people but for an indiatey that knife edge, those cc charges can add up.
Cool. Did you make a PR to do the same on the repo? If not, could you? It would be nice to share the love.
