While I'm sure that a lawyer can spin in circles arguing semantics over what is bitcoin, the stance that the SEC has taken is that cryptocurrencies are commodity-assets, and therefore any derived assets (forks, etc) are the property of the asset owner.
Oftentimes, it's because the company doesn't want to show their hand.

But also it's because "compensation" is far more than "salary" - which seems to be what this question is really about.

They say that the first to say a number is at the disadvantage. Yet nontransparency can be even worse in compensation negotiation.

>"salary is only a small portion of compensation. Let’s say you and I both make $5000 a month ($60000 a year – make the math easy). But you have 2 weeks of vacation, and I have 4. But I took the lower-deductible insurance option, and you took the higher. Which one of us is bringing home more per month? Who cares! My individual desires and needs are, apparently, being met on my package, and yours are with yours." (https://antipaucity.com/2013/05/21/publicizing-compensation-...)

I've written about this a few times on my blog and on Quora.

In short, "your" $90k and "my" $80k are different for more than just the money. Maybe I have more vacation, or better 401(k) contributions, or any of a number of other factors.

It would be great if employers would list their vectors of compensation in their first offer to you (https://antipaucity.com/2013/03/25/what-to-offer-to-be-the-b...) - but what I get offered, and what you get offered for the same position will probably be different: our experience is different, so our value to the company will be different.
The hardest part of remote jobs is finding one that will pay even remotely (hehe) what you could make at a local company.

My experience with remote interviewing culminated in getting 3 separate remote offers for anywhere between 35-60% less than my asking salary or the local offers I received.

Part of this might be that my area (Salt Lake City) has particularly high engineering salaries despite what most people expect, but it seems to be a thing across the board, because like others have said they are tapping into a worldwide talent pool where they can get talent that are happy with the company's salary budget.

Mpengine is a vast and complex attack surface, comprising of handlers for dozens of esoteric archive formats, executable packers and cryptors, full system emulators and interpreters for various architectures and languages, and so on.

No if you ship a defective product back to Amazon, one that has caused injury, and they got rid of it and you sued, their act could and would likely be considered * spoilation of evidence*. As a result Amazon could be sanctioned by a court and have the burden of evidence shift against them (i.e. no longer do the plaintiffs/you have to prove the product was defective, now the defense would have to prove the product wasn't defective).

Indeed, the flood of Rails people who went over to Rust have definitely given some people pause to consider the direction it was taking.

I don't see this particular case of someone who spent a significant amount of time coding core Rails OSS library being seen as a negative though, quite the opposite. If anything it would be an excellent measure of the language for that particular use case assuming any competent developer would seek to operate in the constraints of the language rather than shoehorning an existing implementation into something that doesn't fit.

The bigger question is whether the ORM label itself is limiting or can be understood to fit into a broader scope of implementations.

Do you mind if I ask if you're a woman? IIRC there's pretty substantial hiring discrimination against men who claim to be homemakers (because it's less common so people assume that they're lying).

I had no idea about this - thank you for bringing it up! But we seem to be discussing different ideas. I was trying to argue about apps, specifically iOS apps, like the original article was about. iOS apps aren't distributed on openSUSE, so if some devs make some kind of libleftpad.o for Objective C developers making iOS apps, I'm saying that's fine, and I doubt it would clutter up your distro because Objective C isn't exactly known for it's cross-platform adoption :)

If we're going to talk about linux packages, aren't they often written in languages with amazing optimization skills? If I write some C99 code that uses a gigantic library but I only use like 2% of it, my compiler will cut out the 98% my code doesn't use, so libleftpad sounds like an awful idea. That's one reason why packages on linux distros aren't too big.

But I'm talking about iOS apps where, as others have pointed out, the available optimizations suck[0], and as such, I think that having libleftpad.o included in everyone's iOS apps isn't a big deal (note that iOS doesn't really have a nice way to create libleftpad.so anyway AFAICT because all code for your app is supposed to be sandboxed so no one else can mess with or use it). I agree that it would be really cool to just cut out the 98% of $GIGANTIC_LIBRARY that isn't used at compile time, but since Objective C doesn't seem to have that now, I think small things would be a really nice way to give users more space on their phones without removing features.

But that raises the question of what soy's GMO status has to do with its affect on the endocrine system?

When I was working as contractor for one of big banks, which dev was concentrated on Canary Wharf, they weren't able to successfully complete disaster recovery testing on their primary database cluster for 2 years in a row, I just don't remember, was is department-wide or bank-wide.

8. You need to be able to work well remotely. This is an skill all its own that is often underestimated.
I'd argue that the latter purpose---allowing the reader to recover the original sources and arguments to your thinking---is more important than the 'giving credit' one. If a conversation or email exchange with someone was indeed critical to the development of your ideas, then you offer them co-authorship, not a "citation' to something not only unpublished but undocumented. If it was only incidental to the thinking, then no citation is necessary.
I don't think you are wrong in principle but in practice this simply wouldn't work. We don't have enough sequenced genomes in the world to train such a network and even if we did there is no guarantee that a network-produced genome would stay in the manifold of healthy humans when trying to change an existing defective genome to a healthy one. Either way it would be to expensive to find out if a new genome actually works. Finally with a sequenced genome going for a couple gigabytes I don't see us having a large enough usable data set of these any time soon.

Are you trying to say that BTRFS is supposed to compete feature-to-feature with ZFS? It's not.
https://lwn.net/Articles/342892/

>I had a unique opportunity to take a detailed look at the features missing from Linux, and felt that Btrfs was the best way to solve them.

>From other points of view, they are wildly different: file system architecture, development model, maturity, license, and host operating system, among other things

-------------------------------

>Btrfs snapshots are read-write by default, which in some ways defeats the point of a point-in-time snapshot.

Yes, and have the option of being read only for your temporal "in place" snapshots. But if I want to clone a container for instant use (as LXC or Docker does), then the RW snapshots make sense. Btrfs doesn't make a distinction between a Clone and Snapshot, they are one and the same with a flag.

> but in practice is much less flexible

Tell me more how I can mix disks of differing size in RAID on ZFS

> There's no way to confuse the origin of a snapshot because it's tied to a parent dataset

There's no confusing to the origin of my sanpshots. `btrfs subvolume list -q` shows the ancestral parent as well as the subvolume it's located in, example:

ID 6442 gen 50527 top level 751 parent_uuid 0f4442f8-6363-6944-be8d-e2b45d809352 path .snapshots/321/snapshot

> some operations can be performed like snapshotting, but not deletion

See user_subvol_rm_allowed mount option, available since Kernel 3.0

It's like comparing a car and a truck, they both have four wheels, transport passengers and cargo, and have an engine. Just because a truck runs on diesel does not make the fact that the car running on gas "wrong". Due to its fundamentally different implementation, the way the filesystem works is also different.

Yes ZFS has many more features, has been in development longer, and probably more "production ready" than BTRFS. But ZFS is not GPL compatible. And BTRFS doesn't require it's own separate cache that is apart from the normal filesystem cache.

> If America doesn't do it, China will, and in a generation will be swollen with a population so much more fit as to make the question of the US standing toe-to-toe laughable. If China doesn't, Russia will.

China already spent a generation letting people shoot themselves in the foot with specifying genetic preferences in children. Don’t know what I mean? I’m talking about the gender trait. This is something determined by genetics and something that genetic engineering can allow people to specify, albeit China’s previous method of discarding female newborns is a bit of a low tech way of accomplishing it,

The great thing is we have a clear example of the dangers of unchecked genetic manupulation. Mobs are stupid, and also tend to reduce diversity as everyone wants to pick the obvious good traits. They thought being male was a better trait, and giving people the power to choose the trait let them shoot themselves in the foot as a society. You end up with the massive gender imbalance and that’s the least worrisome of repercussions if we get rid of diversity in the gene pool.

I think this paper is showing that you "can" train an auto exposure/white balancing/edit flow algorithm with a DL pipeline, but the results do not necessarily mean it will outperform simple and cheaper auto exposure/white balancing algorithms that's out there. And the flexibility in this approach also allows masking and background removal.

However, most of the examples in the paper in fact shows improvements of exposure and color. If you import those images and tweak 3 or 4 adjustments of clarity, curves, exposure, saturation in Polarr or Lightroom, you will quickly get very close to the result produced by this paper. However, it is still impressive that it could get to an exposure histogram that looks exact like the ground truth.

Maybe someone can benchmark this against the Google photos auto enhance. A lot of people turn the auto-enhance in Google off because it sometimes create unnatural looks for photos, which are tolerable to everyday consumer but for pros it just looks bad.

Lastly, if you look very closely on the input images, some of them appears to be artificially adjusted to show how the model works. (last page, 4th row, fist image, which looks both underexposured and overexposured after damping brightness through post processing), and these input images are not always the type of images you can get from cameras.

A hash chain of every block is only a few MB so it's not that big of a deal to make sure the chain is immutably stored.

Is it the case that writing off the loss is better, if you can be bumped so far down the brackets that (gains - loss)(1-lower_tax_rate) > (gains) (1 - higher_tax_rate)?
