Regarding VPNs, that depends where you are. In many countries, VPN usage is over 20%. So it's not such a huge flag. And I do torrent lots of HD video. So my ISP just sees one VPN connection, with torrent-like throughput patterns.

The rest of my online activity goes through nested VPN chains, routed through the main VPN. So it's only the final VPNs in those chains that see anything except throughput patterns.

I routinely have several workstation VMs running, each connecting through its own VPN chain. So, while I'm drafting posts for HN or whatever, I'm typically doing stuff in other VMs. It's pretty much like most people do with apps in multiple windows, or SSH logins, or whatever.

And Tor. I've never connected directly to Tor. I only connect through nested VPN chains, at least three deep. So yes, I consider Tor use to be a serious risk.

I'd recommend hiding it. Here's why:

Your future salary expectations likely have a basis in your current salary. Prospective employers know this. Prospective employees know this. If expectations are stated, with that understanding, then your current salary should be irrelevant. If you're having trouble signaling your value to a prospective employer, then your current (good) salary, seems like an easy way to communicate your value, but it's flawed. Salary is far too reductive of a valuation of yourself. If your value is so difficult to communicate, then perhaps a little self-reflection would help you to pinpoint your strengths to better showcase them.

Further, there are few positive reasons for a prospective employer to seek that number. While it offers them market research into salaries to be competitive, it mostly lets them optimize their offer for the bare minimum to bring you on board. It lets them offer in such a way that you'll compromise your expectations for something slightly better salary-wise and different. I liken it to purchasing a vehicle from a dealer and knowing their margins before hand. This is an oversimplification, and they can say 'no' to a low margin, but it's far easier to persuade them to say 'yes' when you still know they're getting something positive out of it.

Ask HN: How would you put the AI chips in new phones to use?
I'm just wondering how you would "program" for these or if they'd take offloaded tasks that are too excessive in performance requirement or something.

I'd like to get some experience with "AI" or "ML" not sure which is which.

But I saw recently that new phones are coming out with AI chips, I'm not an Android/mobile developer though so maybe that doesn't help, I'm on the web side.

Can they translate to each other say you learned Tensor Flow could you use that knowledge to work on these AI chips in phones?
You can always write a salary lower than what you make..

Regardless, it's rarely in your own interest to conceal it unless you have privacy concerns.

1. Landlords are going to prefer candidates with higher salaries.

2. It's really unclear to me that landlords use your salary to determine rent increases. e.g. My rent has always been well under what could be covered by my salary and I'd move long before it reaches that point.
> police have pulled back patrols as was demanded of them

Can you substantiate this? I've never seen anyone demand that, and I doubt any significant number of people did.

Demanding police do their jobs correctly is not at all the same as demanding they stop working. I demand my local police do their job correctly (and as they have some sense of responsibility and pride, they demand the same of themselves); if they did it poorly, I would tell them to do it better, not quit, take their ball and go home like a child.

Driving a handcuffed man around in a van until he breaks his back and dies or shooting a 12 year old is bad performance for those officers and organizations. Quitting is not an option for the police; they have responsibilities and need to do a better job.

What you pay in taxes is public (anyone can look it up), and it's normally easy to calculate taxable income from that. (Not always, there could be various events that throws the calculation off).

I have only skimmed the paper but one thing I don't see any discussion of is whether komi (the handicap given to white for going second) is correct.

They do say the rules used for all games, including self-play, set komi consistently to 7.5 .

If the strongest AI was consistently winning predominantly with one color it would be an indication that komi isn't fair for the best play.

Of the 20 games released for the strongest play it appears white won 14 times and black 6. I don't think that is enough to be conclusive but maybe komi is too high.

I wonder if different "correct" play at the strongest levels would be learned with a 6.5 komi.
More often than not, it also gets labeled “communism”, and effectively kills any potential for meaningful discussion and debate.
So, the moral of your story is: minority employees are underpaid because they never say "no" to low salary they are offered? Or maybe you are saying that possessing some basic negotiation skills you don't have makes me evil? I don't follow your logic here.

> The reason I give a range is because salary is only a SMALL part of your compensation package

I wish people would stop perpetuating this myth. Bonus is discretionary (meaning they can give you $0) while salary is not. Salary is a BIG part of your compensation package because that is the primary reason people work. Most would work for salary without medical but not the other way around. Claiming salary is small potatoes is just one of the more insidious things companies and their agents will spit at you to justify paying you less.

Quoting my reply to a similar comment:

"""

Yeah, so I spent 2-3 days trying Trakt, which seems like the market leader.

I kinda hated it. It's SO feature-packed that it's overwhelming. I don't need every app I use to be a mini-social-network.

One of my favourite things is to build a competitor that does _less_. I built http://panther.audio, which is essentially a pretty UI for Spotify's "related artists" feature. It does way less than Spotify, but its narrow focus means I can create a great experience for that single function.

The other thing is, I just like building stuff :) truthfully, Trakt is probably better for most folks; it just does way more. For me, though, I love that I can spend <10 seconds (page-load time included!) on Tello, instead of waddling through a bunch of sub-menus and pages to find what I need.

I haven't tried either of the links you suggested, but I'm actually not a fan of email/text reminders. I'm likely at work or doing something else when an email comes in. I want to be able to check on my own schedule, to see when new stuff's available (likely 10 seconds before I sit on the couch).

After digging a bit deeper into the paper, it seems a key part of the new scheme is the NN is trained to help guide a deep/sparse tree search (as opposed to TD-gammons fully exhaustive 2-ply search). It's somewhat surprising to me that the simple win/loss is a strong enough signal to train this very 'intermediate step' in the algorithm - a spectacular result! It begs the question what other heuristic based algorithms would be improved by replacing a hand rolled non-optimal heuristic function with a NN?
Employers don't buy employees. That's already the law.

No. It is toatally not like that and hopefully such a law will help clarify the point to any who miss it.

Such a law will also provide balances in an unbalanced power situation and enforce economic efficiencies on an inefficient process.

I'm not a lawmaker nor an employer, though, so I'll leave the suggestion for someone else to pick up.

But have you thought about why you feel this way? I assume you are American, as am I, and so I understand we've been socialized by our culture to feel this way, but it really makes no sense. It's just a way to harm workers by keeping us from seeing when we're being screwed. I'd even go so far as to wager that this entire concept of salary being private was fostered and encouraged by employers for that very reason, because it gives them enormous leverage.
Actually, just converting all the already-known theorems into a form that can be computationally verified (not just convince a skilled human) would be an interesting starting point. This would really help the metamath project, and perhaps make peer review of mathematical research papers easier:

"Posting a range "job pays X to Y" runs the risk of every candidate assuming they'd be on the "Y" side"

Employers know this, so they just adjust their advertised range downwards so that the "Y" in "X to Y" is actually at the low end of the range they're actually willing to pay.

> make all salary information public.

It's a disastrous idea.

First of all, if you mean public as in "the whole world can know", I can't imagine anyone being comfortable with that. Advertisers, family members, people who don't like you, etc... surely you see the problem here.

If by public you mean "only within the company", even this approach will create resentment and hundreds of hours wasted in discussions and negotiations instead of doing productive work. People will constantly argue that they should be paid as much as "X", and then "X" will complain that she needs to be paid as much as "Y", etc...

As someone running a large organization, this is also a logistical nightmare since I usually have very good reasons to compensate X more than Y even if Y might think they should be paid the same amount.

Back to the topic, I've never cared what someone was paid at a previous employer, mainly because they can lie and there's no way to know. Besides, even as a hiring manager, I really think it's none of my business how much that previous employer valued this person.

What matters is here and now. I just ask people how much they want then I counter with what we're comfortable paying, and then we negotiate.

The only thing from past employers that matter is what the person used to do there.
Thanks! Hadn't tested that, will investigate.
Because it is. Ask yourself what is the point of any society? Capitalism is not a goal unto itself, it is a tool to reach another goal.

Now different societies might decide on different goals. Let me use an exaggeration to clarify my point. If one man in a country is fantastically rich while everybody else is dirt poor, then that society is a failure.

My assumption would be that most societies would decide that happiness and well being for as broad set of people is that is the goal of society.

en massing piles of wealth with nobody to spend it on is rather pointless.

Of course some inequality is fine, but that is not the point. The point is that ever increasing inequality is a problem.
I don't think I'd really know until I broke down costs for overhead like rent, utilities, labor, etc. Most of those would be much higher in a urban setting than a rural. Then there's theft, spoilage, etc. Transportation is only one of those items. I think we would be shocked at how much the cost of an off the shelf physical item, isn't the item.

But not too hard, right? Because that’s a crime with an outragrous fine. Actually, just the fact you said that might violate the FLSA.
I am in poverty myself. But when I see this I view it as punishment to those who figured out how to "succeed in life" with regard to acquiring wealth.

I realize some things like the tax loopholes of avoiding paying taxes but even so the concept of taxing more when you make more seems like punishment. But I understand too, how much does a person need/what about others that are in need.

But then again maybe if they have so much wealth that you can't compete/ever hope to catch up/get on their level.

Just seems to me if it's easier to be poor/not get taxed much then why try to get out of it. Believe me I'm still trying my life sucks, uncertainty fear etc...

Of eight special delimiter character you list, three are used for macros. While the syntax of the highly evolved Common Lisp you have in mind remains extremely frugal, macros are only one of many relatively large unnecessary luxury feature.

Teaching fancy language features in an introductory course steals time and attention from fundamental functional programming principles. CLOS, unless thoroughly dissected as an advanced example of how far can you go with LISP, would be an even worse gratuitous distraction than macros.

Of course, "complex" LISP isn't going to be comparable with Haskell, and in a sufficiently long introductory course advanced language features might be worth teaching to increase student productivity.

Someone's target salary is dependent on their current. Non-savvy negotiators will expose this number.. in which case they aren't going to end up any better.

If you are significantly underpaid, the solution today is just to get two offers to ensure your BATNA is based on an alternative offer, not your current situation.

This. Take gut microbiome research. Hardly any of it is reproducible. Many labs find different microbial abundance between CFS/ME/IBS and controls but every lab finds a different set of microbes to blame (in addition to the fact that the overlap between control groups is terrible). I do not understand how folks can publish this work. At the start of the research, I can understand, but we are a decade into this modality.

And then there are the consumer microbiome companies like ubiome. I am an early adopter and have spent thousands analyzing the results they sent me but i have yet to find anything repeatable or reliable. Even looking at their smartgut test, I do not understand how they can peddle this stuff. I have yet to find a doctor who is using their results. Until the reproducibility problem is solved, it seems like everyone is just playing in their sandbox and science can only go so far operating in this fashion. I wish these groups (ubiome, american gut, thryve, etc) would collaborate to resolve these descripencies.

It's still not really in the employee's interest to reveal their above-average salary history until they've gotten a salary range from the employer first. After they get that range, they can choose to reveal their salary history if they think it'll give them leverage in negotiations (e.g. if they want more than the high end of the range), but anyone who's happy with the offer they get won't have a reason to reveal their salary history even if it's above-average.
