I never consider interviewing to be a waste of time. At the very least I get some very valuable practice out of it, learn more about what's out there, and meet some interesting people.

Even if they wind up not hiring you because they find out you're too expensive for their current budget, their budget might increase in the future and they might try to hire you again. Or the people who you made a favorable-enough impression to want to hire you might look to hire you when they're working for some other employer with a bigger budget. If you disqualify yourself by naming too large a number at the outset you'll never get the chance to make that great impression.

Finally, not everything's always about money. If you wind up at the point where they want to hire you and finally you start talking numbers, if their best salary offer is below what you're looking for there might be able to compensate you in some other ways that you could both find acceptable -- that is the essence of negotiation. Here once again, if you had disqualified yourself by naming too high a number at the outset, you'd never get the chance to negotiate.
If I understand correctly, it looks like it allows some basic sharing of data without duplicating it in a bunch of heaps. It's not 100% shared memory, in that if several threads are accessing an object, that object will be duplicated in each thread, but it has a store mechanism which essentially can serve as an in-process cache that is shared across multiple threads.
I've never once answered such a question and never understood why anyone would. When they ask, you tell them you don't give out that information. I've never even had someone question that or ask twice.
Recruiters need to find candidates for a given range.

Considering the breath of paygrades for even similar experience level jobs across the tech sector it’s not that surprising.

If a company looks for some one for say 100-120K you are wasting your time and the recruiters time if you won’t take any offers below 180.

Whilst you might find an employer who’ll be willing and able to go 5-10% over the max it’s not likely that you’ll find many who’ll be able to go 50% over max unless it’s a blanket employment without fixed ranges for both experience and salary.
It's good to see that Apache gets native support for this, I sincerely hope NGINX will follow.
Not fraud. Employer's aren't allowed to give it out either. So you really have no incentive not to fib
82% can be found in common drug stores; at least in SF Bay Area and Portland area.
They should legalize drugs. Thus:

- Less or no deaths because of black market drugs.

- No money for criminals.

- Nobody harassed, robbed, blackmailed, hurt or killed by the police and criminals in the fight against citizens, producers and dealers.

- No lives and families destroyed by the legal system and prisons.

- No waste of tax money for police, legal system and prisons to fight against citizens, producers and dealers.

- No waste of money for overpriced drugs.
I don't think anything you said contradicts what I said though. He's more known outside the US than inside. His writings only appear in book format or in marginal media outlets. NYT and WaPo crowd would rarely, if ever, have him write an op-ed. The only TV appearances he can manage are on Democracy Now.
I don't think an ethics committee would approve of exposing a study group to a known or suspected higher risk of death without significant safeguards.

Using a small sample exposed to the suspected risk and the vast majority not exposed sounds like responsible ethics.

It is not stated, but there should also have been additional safeguards and monitoring. It is normal for studies to be terminated early if they are found to expose participants to either too much danger or if the study group is found to be significantly advantaged (in which case, for example, the whole group is given the beneficial treatment instead of just the small study group).

50% may sound 'fair' or 'equal', but this is about researching ways of saving life, some social notion of fairness or gender equality is not relevant and, if this study is correct, could have caused excessive death. Is it worth people being killed to get the gender balance into the shape you prefer?
> The goal is to narrow the gender wage gap. If a woman is paid less than a man doing the same job and a new employer bases her pay on her prior salary, gender discrimination can be perpetuated, the bill’s backers say.

Is it also banned for an applicant to inform the employer of their prior salary? If not, it would appear advantageous for non-below-average-salaried employees to being doing so, negating the effects of this intervention.(And for employers to silently discard applicants which do not voluntarily reveal salary history.)

I don't think this is a right way to go about trying to narrow the gender wage gap.

Half of the reason we have one (a wage gap) is because it's taboo in America to reveal how much you get paid with your co-workers. It makes no sense to me why that is the case, all it does it allow the company to screw you over more.

The solutions should be to have each company come up with there own publicly available pay scale that says you make this much and every year it will go up by X as you gain experience. AKA how to government does things, I'm not saying it's the best system, but you know if they are a gs13 step 5 they get paid X dollars regardless of anything.

Look, I agree with a great deal of Chomsky's claims but doesn't prevent me from thinking that he's got faults of his own. Given his enormous stature as a linguistic scholar, those are more than mere shortcomings. He wouldn't accept his own style of political argument from one of his students.

I'm usually completely against using "apps" for anything, but does using an app (on mobile) protect against this type of thing? Does an embedded web view have access to the things you're logged into in your main browser on your phone? So does using my credit union app to access my account protect me from them getting all this info from my phone browser?
Really wish this would extend to apartment rent applications. I'm fine with a credit check, but they don't need to know how high they can increase my rent before I'll need to move.

Why ask when you can just find out during background check. If anything, they should ban background checks completely.
We won't see wealth redistribution with Trump, not even minimum wage hikes.

Not OP, but have sold plasma before. The typical person selling plasma is at the bottom 1% of the income distribution, turns out there are a lot more homeless men than women so I would venture that it's an availability issue.

You aren't half a pessimist, are you? I'll call you "practical" or "realist" if you'd prefer your ego stroked. It's been almost 2 years and we've only sustained growth so far. Good luck to you, too. Try coming across as less pretentious though.
A lot of that, in the specific case of milk, is that farther out from cities you can sell it fast enough to make sense. Milk is, legally speaking, "good" for about 2 weeks from the time it comes out of the cow. If you're in a city where everyone eats out at all meals, you might not sell enough out of one store to avoid spoilage. This means that costs to the store go up since they either have to pass on high trucking fees per gallon for buying few gallons, or they amortize those costs and end up charging more per gallon because they throw a lot of it out. Conversely, out in farming country where I grew up, the closest restaurant was 20 minutes drive away, so we didn't eat out much and bought a lot more groceries than the people I lived with in NYC. This means that the Meijer in town rarely has to throw out milk for being passed the sell by date, and is large enough, with people coming in from a 50 mile radius, to move the volume to get volume discounts. Doesn't hurt that a reasonable quantity of their milk is bottled in town and comes from cows about a mile from my house... "Far from transportation hubs" is relative to what you're transporting...

Isn't this part of the problem? When we (Americans) work for money, we don't do much investigation of where that money comes from. And really, how could we? It would take forensic accountant type of skills to really do that job. Maybe that's the fundamental cultural basis; if people felt it was important to know where the money comes from that is paying them they might think more about what work to take.

There's a sense of urgency to getting and staying employed in America which counteracts this ability to be judicious about what work you take, which is perhaps the underlying cultural driver.
If only above-average-salaried employees reveal salary, and companies discard applicants that don't voluntarily reveal salary history, then that just means that companies end up paying more because they'll only hire people that got paid more than average in the past.

Which is to say, no, I don't think it'll work out that way.
No need to duplicate the effort though, caniuse usually links to MDN for feature reference anyway.

If caniuse had embeds, they could easily replace the existing compat tables on MDN.

Right. It calls into question his intellectual honesty and the morality of his intellectual preoccupations.

I don't get it. When you limit the memory of the java process it will be a _lot_ lower. A spring boot server can be started with -Xmx64m. Setting the memory limit to 200mb is more than enough to prevent OOM kills in Kubernetes.

We run many spring boot services in that way. With absolutely no issues.

Edit: just checked it, -Xmx32m is also usable.
That's not the right comparison. The reported spend level for that card is $250,000 a year. Spending 250K on a credit card annually is not living frugally.

This is not going to be nearly as helpful as people think, as long as it's still legal for employers to verify salary once it's been revealed.

People who know or suspect that their salary is above the average applicant's will volunteer it to the prospective employer. Other people will choose not to disclose.

We will reach an equilibrium where non-disclosure will be an honest signal of lower current salary.

The main difference from the current state is that employers won't know the exactly salary of the lower non-disclosing applicants -- this helps people at the absolutely bottom of the 'non-disclosure' range, but hurts those who are just below the average salary. It should have no strong effect on people with above-average salaries who choose to disclose.

Of course, if employers aren't allowed to verify voluntarily disclosed salary, then many people will just lie.
Correct. Not on any hybrid, even the 2018, no matter what trim.
> The problem is that basically Qualcomm is strangling the entire cellphone space. So what if you built a completely new, much faster, much better-in-every-way SoC... if you still have to pay Qualcomm for the entire chipset because they refuse to sell you just the modem without you paying the full bill.

If Qualcomm is that big of a drag on Android (or not-Apple, but it amounts to the same thing) smartphones, maybe the solution is for Google to buy them outright and rearrange their practices.

Sure, it'd be expensive, but not anything Google couldn't afford.

Exactly what this comment said. Very long time EC user, this is lovely designed but not quite for me.
The problem with that is an employer doesn't have any discretion on using pay increases as feedback for performance.
The only consideration when it comes to salary should be for the employer to consider how much they're willing and able to pay for the average productivity of the next hire vs. that hire's contribution to the company's profitability. They already have the right to fire at any time thanks to lax employment laws; it's only right that pay reflects the profitability an employee brings to a company (rather than the average market rate for an employee). If that employee isn't profitable, then they can be fired. If they are, then they'll be paid commensurate with it. Everybody's happy.

My suggestion is to ignore anything that's not a meta study.

Material science puts out thousands of papers a year, and ignoring them is easy because I lack context to understand them. IMO, the same is true of any field without a lot of study and literature review.

I've spent quite sometime on super hexagon myself.
I've recently been on both ends of the table here. I don't share my previous salary but I'm always willing to share a pay range. The range being higher than I'd ever expect to get paid. I find this to be important when discussing salary with an employer because it gives me a baseline to continue discussions. If they can't meet my bottom line then I'm not interested. The reason I give a range is because salary is only a SMALL part of your compensation package. If there is a yearly bonus program, great medical, 401k matching, vacation, etc. Each of these things need to be considered when accepting a position. Hence the range.

I've also come to expect that I'm going to give a candidate a pay range as well. It is one of the first things I do when trying to on board because if they can't afford to live on the range I'm telling them then I don't want to waste either of our time on discussing a position they can't live on. I'm pretty upfront about this because the worst thing an employee working for me can do is have to start budgeting a lot and be resentful about it.

In my mind this law can really hinder that conversation. I like giving a range and asking a candidate if they can deal with that, but it's really nice when a candidate is secure enough to tell me what they are worth up front as well. I would also recommend against giving anyone a fixed value always always give a range.
