I have 2 recommendations:

1. "Thinking Strategically," written by a professor at the Yale School of Management and an economics professor at Princeton.[1]

This one is basically a primer on game theory, which I think would be useful for you particularly if you are facing off someone at work. It gets you thinking about incentives of each party and figuring out the different ways situations could play out.

2. "The First 90 Days," published by Harvard Business Review Press.[2]

Obviously, it's targeted at those transitioning into a new leadership position, but in my opinion the strategies can apply even to those who are in incumbent positions as it's never too late to turn the page and start taking a fresh approach or step up one's level of effort at work.

It includes an actionable plan for feeling out the pain points of others you need to impress and tackling their problems in a visible manner. This one is less about politics per se but more about being a very effective leader in a highly visible manner, which can help one to move up the ladder.

Even if you were right, and someone made 20% more total compansation, they would loose more than half of that right off the bat due to the mutliple layers income tax in San Francisco, and easily the rest and then some to increased housing cost. Not to mention Seattle tends to have a much more relaxed and healthy working culture, so your probably working less hours too.
Noted and begs the question of why "human augmentation" tends to popularly mean "partial replacement." (I'll assume because artificial limbs read better in visual media)

In reality, there are plenty of opportunities for true augmentation. F.ex. a friend was discussing the pacemaker his mother recently had implanted after an episode of tachycardia. Fairly small, continuously monitors vitals & syncs to communicate with base station (which can contact physician if needed), internal battery. And works in conjunction with the existing biological heart!

Why not focus on actually augmenting our already-amazing bodies?

Huh? No HDD, regardless of capacity, is cheaper than $50. So it would be $45000 just for the disks, 10x more. And then you need something to put them in.

You'd like to buy something like 8 Tb HDDs, because the more disks there are the higher would the cost of the thing to put them into be.

So say you have a graph on distance, d, that you want to weight based on a preference, p, from 0-5 going from least preferred to most preferred.

Neither have I read the referenced paper[1] yet, but in contrast to department stores shedding jobs e-commerce I offer these observations.

E-commerce has enabled many small 'boutique' or 'mom-and-pop' style shops to survive in locations without sufficient footfall.

The combination of small business bricks and mortar engendering trust with e-commerce supplementing footfall and enabling the tourist dollar to be spent after the holiday has helped many small town artisan and craft stores.

That "seems to me…" bit should be presented as just a hypothesis. It may be right, but I'd have no basis to even lean toward assuming so.

While I cannot recommend any books on physics itself, I can recommend a couple light reads on Richard Feynman, the Nobel prize-winning physicist (links below). Each is structured as a series of short autobiographical stories so they're very easy reads that shed light on some of Feynman's life, both within and without academia.

Currently in our civilization, blind calories aren't that expensive. I think the bigger issue is how you carry that energy while moving, since I don't think anyone wants to operate tethered to an outlet.

In terms of stored energy per kilogram, regular old fat kicks the ass of any consumer battery tech.

Suppose that your augmentations rely on battery-fed electricity, and you eat 2,000 kcal per day for your bio-bits, and charge 18,000 kcal each night for your mech-bits...

In that scenario, you'd need to carry around an extra 120 kilograms of lithium-ion batteries to cover your daily activity, which probably won't involve much jumping.

OK, I just figured it out. You are a niche company that makes a good product and you get good sales, the problem is you don't get enough sales to make enough profit to keep the shareholders happy.

Then the OSes you support get changed so much that you have to develop the new versions on them, but the programming language you use got changed to support that new operating system, etc. So you have to pay for training your developers or hire new developers to work with this new technology.

IBM had this problem with the Lotus series and Windows 9X. The Windows API had been changed so much that it broke Lotus Smart Suite and the cost of rewriting it to work with modern Windows like Windows 2000/XP had cost so much that IBM had to fork OpenOffice.Org into Lotus Symphony which was easier than rewriting Smart Suite and cost a lot less money. But it failed. Also, that darn DOCX format broke the Lotus products trying to be compatible with the old and new office file formats.

So this is a problem that the so called Unicorns that do just one thing great have to face.

I wonder why more isn't written about it? You can learn more from a failure than a success.
> unionisation works and why it ensured that workers got their fair share of productivity increases

Considering that most unions encourage rigid salary bands, this is a ludicrous statement to make.

It's obvious that different workers have different productivity levels (and those levels don't correspond directly to years of experience). Considering that, I consider it highly unfair to force people into having the same salary.
I'm with you there. I grew up in America but had almost no exposure to English outside of watching PBS (parents refused to speak English with me or my sister). I was fine by the time I entered pre-school when I was 4.
I read it as just telling us that 40k moths per day at 1/2 calorie each = 20k calories. They just did that math for us. Beyond that, they carelessly omitted the info about how the 40k number was estimated. But I'm not sure. Definitely unclear mediocre writing in that sense.

It's actually the amount of state control vs. free market forces that defines if a country/society is more socialist or rather more capitalist. Look at France and the UK for instance.

The US is not such a good example because big companies and lobby groups are actually in control, just like the state is in China.
Rigidity in salaries is a natural end result of open salaries, as otherwise everyone demands explanations of why someone else is making more.

Even in this thread you already see people calling for unionization and collective bargaining to ensure everyone gets their "fair share."

I cannot disagree with you but the fact is and remains that the field is a budding one and this is but a building block towards better understanding the nature of using sets of geometric transformations for pattern recognition in A.I.

If this was to be directly implemented in the real world your arguments would need to be addressed, however I'm certain this research paper wouldn't be abused in that manner.

If that were true, why wouldn't everyone voluntarily post their salaries publicly? For that matter, why won't you?

It's already protected for employees to share their salaries. If the only reason salaries are private is to help employers, wouldn't we expect many people to share their salaries voluntarily?

Do you realize the irony replying to a comment that's basically saying "I don't think we'll go full cyborg soon, since growing new body parts in a lab will be cheaper." with the implication that it's not forward-looking?

Both of these ideas are currently in the basic research stage and far from becoming mainstream, so they are just looking in a different direction that is still "forward".

I agree that the lack of reasons for the economic differences is disappointing, though.

Personally, I believe we will use whatever solution makes sense in a given context. If you need a cosmetic replacement for you lost ear, you get appropriately shaped connective tissue colonized with fresh cells, so that it looks like the real thing. If you need something to restore your lost hearing, you get a cochlear implant.
Interestingly, a comment below pointed out that the team has roots in the American intelligence community, and the founders live in Virginia (http://samuelrpatterson.com/about-me and https://twitter.com/brianchoffman) within a 20min drive of Langley.

I think what the article meant by 'truly' bilingual was someone not only fluent in speech but with equivalent vocabulary, grammar etc in two languages.

I'd guess that the kids you knew growing up were speaking english in school and another language at home, so they likely don't develop the vocabulary and grammar in their 'home' language that they might have if they were studying it every day in school. From the article regarding kids from bilingual homes who speak english in school: "... they didn’t go to school in Spanish, they don’t read books in Spanish, and when you actually measure the size of their vocabularies, or the grammar they understand, or the coherence of the narrative they produce, they are not as proficient as they are in English".

Gradient descent is covered. We even show a pytorch implementation :)
I thought the main reason was ease of interpreter implementation, not speed (which is why some early LISPs used dynamic scoping in interpreter mode and lexical scoping in compiled mode) ... just have a hashmap in each activation record, and a pointer to the parent activation record's <hashmap, parent_pointer> tuple, and walk the chain until you find your first entry.

With lexical scoping, each variable is at a fixed offset from your global data pointer, your frame pointer, your closure pointer, or a fixed number of machine words back up the call stack in a parent caller's activation record.

You could store dynamically scoped variables in fixed locations and have each function restore previous values upon leaving the function. This makes reading as fast as lexically scoped variables, but adds significant write overhead.

Due to the halting problem, without the above global-emulation-trick, you can't pre-calculate variable locations, so searching up the call stack is necessary.

The only case where I can think of that searching up the dynamic scope chain would be faster than accessing memory at a fixed offset would be if accessing stack memory is much faster than accessing general RAM and the average lookup chain is short. Maybe you're memory constrained and swapping out a lot. Maybe you're on a stack-based processor that has special cache or higher caching priority for the stack. Maybe your processor has a very small TLB (address translation cache) and accessing RAM is likely to cause a TLB miss, whereas the top of your stack is very likely to be in the TLB (or your architecture avoids address translation for stack access). Maybe your OS allocates huge pages (if supported by your architecture) for stack pages, but your malloc() implementation rarely allocates huge pages.

In any case, it would seem to need some kind of rare case where dynamically searching for an offset is faster than using a compile-time statically determined offset.
> I don't know why the alternative isn't "ship with empty disk" though

You can't ship a "computer" which doesn't do anything when you turn it on. FreeDOS has just enough basic capability that HP can say "yeah this is a functional computer out of the box" while having so little capability that its installation implies a wink-wink understanding that the customer will install his own OS that he'll take responsibility for.
"Do developers become the new gatekeepers of the large enterprises?"

I doubt it. From what I see is that developers can do a few things but as soon as the IT department hears about it they will try to standardize on a solution. And you are back in big Enterprise sales. In the end the CIO wants to keep his/her budgets and power.

I just went through this. We prototyped a system and thought it would work. IT jumped at it and made that supplier the company wide standard. In the meantime we got some doubts and will probably jump ship. But IT is sticking to their decision.
Yes, between 0 and 14% depeding on sector and where in the country you are. This tax is going into the national insurance system called "folketrygden" which is what finance most of the welfare state (the parts that pays out money directly at at least).
Just pitch the idea to them.

How long will everyone be vested? 4 years is the norm, but I had a recent deal for 2 years.

IMO the shares should be split roughly equally among founders. Ideally everyone should admire the other and think the other person deserves more shares

As a ground rule, someone who is initially taking salary from the startup or refusing to work more than 40 hrs/week should only have one digit equity. The corollary applies: if someone is taking less than 10%, don't expect them to work overtime.

Stallman famously worked on specialized LISP hardware at MIT. I wonder if these machines had special optimizations for stack access that made lexical scoping faster on that architecture, and Stallman over-generalized.

General consensus of the west on the internet? Yeah , probably (https://www.reddit.com/search?q=turkey+coup)- because thats what they want to believe.

Remember when the general consensus among the same group was that Turkey was secretly funding ISIL and it was all about getting their hands on the measly dozen or so barrels that was being smuggled across the border? It was certainly the narrative the Russians were pushing and the Internet happily swallowed it.. Then suddenly Turkey became the only actual foreign country apart from Iran and Russia with boots on the ground actually fighting ISIL (although how much an effort Iranians and Russians actually put to fighting ISIL is arguable).. And the internet including you promptly forgot their conensus and moved.

Then the coup happened and we got to hear the tired rationalisations - "the military coup is to uphold democracy not to usurp it" (what absurd logic), "Democracy is not really that important, secularism is what matters", "Turkey is a special exception wrt to coups" and so on. Then the coup failed And now the west has latched on to a new conspiracy theory, with all the facts gone out the window.
I came here to say that too. Back then ORM:s were clunky because the languages (Java) and techniques we were using were clunky.

For example, the article talks about object identity and equality. Nowadays, you would try and design your data so that object identity doesn't matter because that works better with the functional paradigm.

He also discusses how to map inheritance to database tables, but that is a moot point -- people don't use inheritance to model data anymore. The old "an Employee class is an instance of a Person class and has a reference to a Manager class which is also a Person-instance" thinking isn't used anymore.
Yeah there are lots of monolinguists with poor vocabularies. It's because they never read books, not because they've divided their vocabulary time in too many different language slices.

If bandwidth were the main limiting factor, they would just take video intermittently and downlink it over a long period of time. This would be useful for documenting real-time changes on the ground during important isolated events (e.g., rocket launches). But they apparently don't have this capability, and I think it's because the hardware for taking many frames per second just isn't worth the cost and complexity.
I don't think it's that so much as they don't like seeing their cultures eroded by another that is demonstrably worse.

If you leave, even if you are leaving to a worse salary, you are hurting the former company. If that company considers you to be worth whatever they're paying you (read: they can't find someone better for less) than they will give you the raise rather than let you go. All you need to know is the maximum amount they are willing to pay you, which you can then negotiate for.

The tachometer is your urge to breathe.

The harder you're breathing, the more oxygen and food energy you're consuming, and the more Carbon Dioxide(CO2) is building up in your blood. That CO2 then has to be exhaled and Oxygen has to be inhaled. This is a continuous cycle and your heart rate is only a proxy for it.
> then I'll be taxed to pay for them anyway. That's not "nothing".

Taxed to pay them what. If you have a beef with welfare programs in the us, you should take it with the welfare programs. Foreigners never had a voice or a vote in terms of what qualified for such kinds of programs.

A French guy (Xalikah) who did the first, manually planned 100% speedrun of the game had a similar problem; he spent a few hours with a couple folks helping him check his map for obscure place names he was missing, and when he was at the last one, someone joked "99.81% speedrun," and people were suggesting he do a slow systematic scroll over the map so they could look for missing placenames. He wound up sleeping five hours or so and in the morning remembered that he'd skipped using some bridge somewhere. 49 hours!
