>I wish people would stop perpetuating this myth.

It is not a myth. If the company pays out then you make more money. It isn't GUARANTEED salary but neither is stock. Sure it's not worth every dollar they say you might get but it does have a value based on the history of the Company. I've done very well for myself going with a slightly lower salary and accepting a 2x1 ratio on the bonus. I.E. If they offer 100K. I'll accept 90K and a 20K bonus (this advice very much depends on the company). If the company has a history of giving out their minimum bonus every year then you're probably OK. If it's a startup that ratio would go up. 3x1 or 4x1. It's more of a risk so don't take it all on yourself.

Medical can be up 500 per month per person in your family for a fully covered company. 401K can also be a great tool as well.

This is 100% why I suggest giving a range of salaries. Take the bonus at what it's worth to you. Just like stock. It is not a 1 to 1 relationship but it does add value. If you just assume you make what you get in your salary you aren't doing the real math of evaluating what you are really worth.

For that matter factor in commute too! It's time you are away from home.

There are subtle hints online that Tesla may help Bollinger manufacture their electric SUV, the B1. It certainly looks like it would make for a better camper. I would really prefer if Tesla would just buy Bollinger outright and bring a vehicle like this to a broader audience. Heres their website: http://bollingermotors.com/
Guess we can do away with all corporate structures, then, and the protections and benefits thereof. Plus a ton of other stuff necessary to a modern economy. Those things definitely don't (strictly) fall in any of those categories.

Rather than the point of any society, if that's rubbing you the wrong way, how about: why have an (if you prefer, a modern, industrial/post-industrial) economy?
You can get the same amount of "bits" of security with EC as you can with RSA for sure if you choose the right parameters. There are also EC implementations (Ed25519 being an excellent example) which are incredibly simple which makes them easier to audit and reason about.

Also the simplicity allows us to implement some EC crypto in constant time, so there are no timing side channels.

The main reason not to use EC would be spottier hardware support (cards, keys, etc) and potentially less software support in the wild (people could be stuck on old versions of GPG for example).

I tried to, but the original title "Association of Blood Transfusion From Female Donors With and Without a History of Pregnancy With Mortality Among Male and Female Transfusion Recipients" was approximately double the maximum length allowed by HN. I actually spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out the smallest change that was still grammatically correct and fit the 80 char limit while being as accurate as possible.

That being said, if you have an improved version that fits, I'd be happy to support that.
Ah, very good point. I hadn't considered that. :)

That hasn't been my case. I typically beat them up a lot on benefits unless they have great benefits.

My bottom range is expecting a bonus of 10-20%, Medical, 4 weeks vacation 4% matching 401k, Paternity leave of at least a month etc.

These are things I take into consideration if you don't have that expect to see the higher end of my range.

TFA itself refers to the fact that like every other agricultural community in the central and mountain timezones, the portion of the community outside city limits (i.e. most of it) has been shrinking since 1900. Don't imagine that finding town populations on wiki is some sort of revelation.
> All Americans have a right to privacy. Their reason for privacy doesn't matter and doesn't need to make sense to you.

Seeing how the right to privacy is not specifically enshrined, I would argue that the reasons for keeping some things private is very much at the heart of the matter. For instance, why does the government not think the benefits of transparency outweigh the disadvantages when it comes to individual reported income, versus say, divorce records (most of which will include income, among many many more private facts said in court).

> Anyways, from what I understand, the new law does not seem to prohibit you from asking for a salary (range) that the applicant would be willing to accept, just from asking for how much specifically they made in the past.

This is a very good point. It's a fine line but I appreciate the input.

I do give a rather large range. It's typically a 20-40% range based on how much I want the job. And I tailor it to every employer.

Good luck stealthing in a tent in the middle of a city, near the highway, at the beach, with a girl, etc.

You also can do this on a whim at any time. I don't suppose you tow your travel trailer around everywhere with you?

Besides, there's no saying you can't throw a hammock or tent in the tesla and use that when it truly would be preferable.

This is technically true, but I wonder how close you could get to 100% with minimal size. I would expect that you could get somewhere around >98% with a network that's a few megabytes in size.
Is this actually happening? After a good interview, qualified employees are being turned away by companies in the later stages of the interview/employment process, simply due to candidates refusing to divulge their current salary? I mean, I'm sure it _has_ happened, not sure if that's a strong argument though.

> That society is what enables them to become rich.

Somewhat true. Where you go with it is false, though. You seem to think that the society is all that enabled them to become rich. But if that's true, why does Bill Gates have more money than me? I'm in the same society.

> If a democracy says we can increase taxes on the wealthy, then that is just a choice, not stealing.

That presumes that everything a democracy decides on is just a choice - that it can't be wrong. I disagree with that statement. More, I think history disagrees with that statement.
In 1933 The United States recognized the Soviet Union, however Walter Duranty wrote his work defending Stalin in 1931. Further, it has been argued that his work and the New York Time's work played an important part in the United State's formal recognition of the Soviet Union [1]

Additionally, the United States had joined a military Intervention in the Russian Revolution against the Bolsheviks (we sent almost 11,000 troops). As such relations between the two countries could not reasonably be considered friendly before recognition. [2]

Finally, The United States had gone through the First red scare just 10 years prior to the articles being written. As such it's unlikely that the U.S. Populace had an overwhelmingly positive view of the country. [3]

Whereas the two had a strong trade relation as you pointed out, the countries were very adversarial and as such I believe it is incorrect to imagine that the NYT's strings were pulled to show the USSR in a positive light.

Things like this are what make a car appealing to me. Lots of cars drive well and are inexpensive to operate. There are only a few that seem to augment one's life. Designers will say It's the little things that people notice and I 100% agree. While Tesla obviously didn't design "Camper Mode" into the Model S, it seems like the sort of company that would embrace it.
So merely saying "Communism" is sufficient to make it political? In terms of fairness, my opinion is that alpha less than 2 puts too much wealth in the hands of the rich, hurting the baseline quality of life, and alpha greater than 5 probably doesn't concentrate enough capital to support innovation, competition, moonshots, and luxuries.

I was defining an objectively measurable middle ground between two economic antipodes that have each had extensive political backing now or in the past. This contrasts with those who decry any movement in the direction of redistribution to be greasing the slippery slope to Abhorrently Evil Communism, and any movement in the direction of concentration to be greasing the slippery slope to Abhorrently Evil Capitalism.

When you define numeric values, it becomes harder to hijack the discussion by throwing around loaded words and charged phrases.
When renewable enegry can mean disturbing war graves
A few thoughts:

* I'm surprised you only have to be 10 miles from a Supermarket to be considered a food desert. I would get this in a populated area, but in a rural town of barely over 1000, it seems expected that you might drive a ways. Hell, in many rural areas you might drive a mile or two to even be on a main road! They do specifically mention "a rural area 10 miles.." which probably means in a city the distance to qualify as a food desert would be much smaller, which makes sense.

* I wonder why they didn't bother verifying pay at the chicken plant. If the workers say they make $8.50 an hour and the employer says the minimum pay is $11.50, it seems like a quick glance at a paystub is all it would take to validate the story rather than just throw up your arms and say "well, some people disagree". Though I imagine the most likely cause is the latinos are undocumented and hence being paid under the table.

* Sounds like the 20-30mi roundtrip drive to Bentonville is costly in terms of gas money (not to mention time!), but I was stunned that the employee talked about how many of the customers were in the Dollar General store 3-4 times a day (!!)

> I never consider interviewing to be a waste of time.

Most on-site interviews require you to take a day off. If you've got 10 days of PTO, you can do a maximum of 10 interviews a year, and that's if you don't get sick or take any vacation. There is definitely a cost to interviewing.
There is no contradiction between the desire to achieve a flatter distribution of power, while also concentrate it in a specific subgroup. It's exactly these things that are the goals of Steve Bannon's wing of the right.

The commonality between the anti-fascists (or whatever they want to call themselves) and white-nationalists is neither weak nor transitory. Their common enemy is liberal democracy, and their preferred strongmen will not always necessarily be different. Take a glance at places like Serbia and Russia to see this in action.

Back to the original point though, I think progressive vs conservative is not a useful basis with which to analyze these movements.
No, that’s a different thing from what the article is talking about. If you’re aware of an ad provider using geotag info to send real-time location data to it’s advertisers then you should probably write that up somewhere.
Inasmuch as this works, or any justice system works, is as much as people believe the system metes out justice.

In the USA, in 2017, people who knows they're guilty plead not guilty because they have reason to believe that they'll be able to get away with something. Either their entire crime, or at least the heaviest punishment for it. Meanwhile, people who know they're not guilty frequently plead guilty (or more accurately, take plea bargains) to avoid a slow and expensive justice system they don't perceive as an instrument of true justice.

Even in the system described in the article, it seems one third of people claimed innocence and yet were found guilty by the priests. My cynical thought is that they didn't pay the priest, or weren't regular churchgoers, or were "outsiders" to the community, and so justice didn't work for them.
That sounds nice, but it seems like most if not all work relationships are based on at least dishonesty through omission if not outright lies.

Employers rarely give a full and true picture of what it's like to work somewhere. It's mostly "everything's great" and "all the people are great" and so on. You might get a bland "we need to work on X" if you press them, but they're very unlikely to be direct about the day-to-day drudgery, dysfunction, etc.

Due to the asymmetrical power relationship of employers/employees, I can't see a real ethical problem with lying in response to a question they shouldn't be asking in the first place.
My position is that people who think "taxes are theft" should have to face a world where the things those taxes pay for aren't available to them.

I'm pretty sure, with, as Einstein put it, "a probability approaching unity", that they would change their minds very quickly about whether those things are worth supporting.

It's a purely rhetorical position, of course; I do not actually advocate anyone suffer that experience — because it would be a thing they could only suffer.

EDIT: I'm reminded again of the rural, dues-based fire departments. You're free not to pay your dues. If your house catches fire and you haven't paid, the fire crew will come out, stop at your property line, keep the fire from spreading, and otherwise watch your shit burn. Libertarian paradise, or something...
Quickly looked at what is written in other articles by these authors, and it's total BS. Sadly that these 'research' made it way to sciencealert.com.
I'm merely saying it's not hard to draw a line from there to our current state where we've found our ultimate inexcusable evil in the form of Nazis and the Holocaust.

We've created the perfect "bad guy" to fuel our need for a good vs evil narrative in which we can justify all our evil actions by acting for the "greater good" because we are the "good guys", we won! Remember?

Conveniently it's exactly that kind of mindset which allowed the Nazis to do what they did, they told people it was for the greater good and these Jews are the bad guys and they'd need to do bad things to win against these bad guys.

It's not like SS officers thought to themselves "Yay I'm such an evil person, I just love killing people, it's so much fun!", only very few humans are actually broken like that.

In the same way, no normal human being willingly tortures other people, you need to give them a bigger cause, like protecting their country from evil terrorism, to give them the motivation to get over their consciousness.

Maybe I'm naive, but I simply don't think there's such a thing as "evil people" or "good people", there are just people. A few of them might be very broken but still smart enough to manipulate many other people, but they don't represent anything or anybody but themselves.
Can anyone confirm whether that's really as far forward as the front seats will go?

While we could do away with all those, it wouldn't serve much of a purpose. But yes, ultimately corporate structures are not the reason society exists.

>why have an (if you prefer, a modern, industrial/post-industrial) economy?

Well, because it's a more efficient engine for increasing the property and prosperity of the people and the society in general. Again, what does that have to do with inequality inherently being an issue?
I like this quote:

Thanks for answering NicoJuicy. I used to have similar patterns in the 'extreme' sense you say until life thought me the hard way that they are a really risky bet. Thought alcohol never liked me and I avoided bdays too.

That's was when I started wondering why did I do what I did. Are extremes worth it in mid-long term? they can turn into habits too soon and really difficult to get out of them. It took me years to realize (maybe I still am) that most of the time I did this was to get a sense of external approval, fit in, achievement of the impossible, be different, ... in the end was a doing stuff in excess not for a real worthy reason but because of the lack of sense of identity.

This makes me wonder. My employer has some customer data. We're very careful about not just letting any random employee access it without careful permission, auditing, logging, etc. Customer privacy is important to us.

At Equifax, though, information about random people isn't customer data. It's the product. They give it to anyone who asks for money. Do they have any motivation to say J random employee can't just look up everybody's data? Why? Letting you have free access to what they charge everyone else for would just be a perk, right?
