This is a great move! Many a times, a company will set your salary by incrementing your current salary by 10% (say). This is demeaning. The future employer is basically saying that we want you to work for us at as low a wage as we can possibly pay, while not being stupid. Any negotiation comes back to why your existing salary is so low, implying that there must be something wrong with you.

The new law forces an open discussion where both sides can decide what they want to pay/earn and start the negotiation from there. The negotiation then follows the track of who has better opportunities. That is a better market dynamic.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out when I look for my next job. :)

I'll check this out when I get home, but what I'm wondering is if this supports rewatching a show. My current grievance with trakt.tv is that it'll track a show for you once, but the second time through, you either lose the history or have to keep track of which episode you are on somewhere else.
Just wanna add that we used C0 for a subset of the class, and most of the students jump into a more rigorous course which involves actually implementing malloc.

Just a unrelated comment. It's funny to hear that. In France there's a widespread stereotype that Americans are very open to talk about their salary.

> What do you mean by repeatable?

This is a complicated question but let's break it down to the simplest problem i can think of. Suppose I do a study comparing the gut microbiota of CFS patients compared to controls. Then, another group does the same study. The control group better have reasonable overlap. If they do not, then both labs should process the raw samples and see if they get reasonable overlap. If not, start here to fix.

> The gut microbiome is in constant flux; it constantly changes every day.

It depends on who you talk to which is somewhat my point. Eric Alm's lab showed that the gut microbiome is relatively stable over time (they sample daily for over a year). Other labs have shown it varies daily. My own lab has shown that it varies greatly depending on where you take the sample (stool is actually quite heterogeneous in terms of bacterial populations). You could argue how you define "same" as a function of a scale, in this case taxon level. But the problem still remains.

> A sample sent to 3 different companies on 3 different days would have 3 different results, even if their analysis was perfect.

If the analysis was "perfect" (whatever that means), then why are they different. Can we model the differences?

The real truth is that stool is quite heterogenous in terms of bacterial populations. Its quite easy to get an OOM difference between abundances in the same sample.

> I've not had my stools analyzed. If I were to, the biggest thing I would look for would be the level diversity in my microbiome, as opposed to individual strains.

Diversity on which level though? Most consumer sequencing companies do not go the strain level. Most are genus and you get about 50-75% of the species.

> I only have minor knowledge about this, so maybe I am missing something.

Appreciate your honesty. Science has done a sub par job (in my opinion) of emphasizing to the public that we (the community) understand what is going on. All we really know now, broadly speaking, is that the gut microbiota is different when compared to healthy controls be we really have no idea why. That doesnt mean we dont understand the metabolite profiles, but the simple fact that Provetella has been implicated in both sickness and in health should indicate that reproducibility would be very insightful.
I think the whole point of this conversation is that it shouldn't be different psychologically. People are responsible for the consequences of their actions.
Two hours for customs? If you join the Global Entry Program it only takes a few minutes--you check-in at a kiosk and go to a special lane. Great if you have kids. You also end up enrolled in the Trusted Traveler Program, which puts you in the expedited lane for terminal security.

As for the wait time at the airport: if you're buying premium tickets the airline doesn't care how late you arrive as long as you don't delay the flight. IIRC, at least for domestic travel TSA requires that all checked luggage be presented at least 30 minutes prior to departure, so that's the only hard time limit. Maybe it's earlier for international travel, but for a single day itinerary you presumably wouldn't have any checked luggage.
I wasn't commenting on the cost, just the statement that it had no value. But... I do think $1,000 to find out who + $2.00CPM to bombard a CFO about a $50mm financial software investment for years would be a massive ROI.

It would just help the sales team make it work.

Did you read the article? You can lay the seats flat and sleep two 6'+ individuals side by side. You also get a panoramic view of the night sky, and a climate-controlled, HEPA filtration system.

This seems like an incredible way to go camping to me. I've gone camping for years, and this would be great to be able to experience the star-filled night sky, in a comfortable climate controlled environment, without having to pitch a tent.

Mmmm... Yes, i think of myselve as an introvert.

But, i'm not one when i go out and drink. So when i go out, i drink too much ( i always have a lot of one-liners comings up). I'm not an alcoholic, i only drink on friday and saturday evenings ( when i go out)

Also, i always have been in extremes. When i wanted to do sport, i did > 10 hours per week ( no alcohol ofc and outside my full time job), but didn't have time for anything else.

Now i'm working on my SAAS, day and night.... I don't need people, but i force myselve to be arround them. I don't need to plan anything, i just say yes when people ask... This year, i didn't even celebrate my 30th birthday, cause i was on a wedding.

I'm not seeing any practical benefits mentioned so this sounds like dogmatism to me. Using an img tag can sometimes just be more practical (e.g. if you're using a CMS or for use with a JS plugin). Google Image search definitely cares about images as well. I agree separating style from content has benefits but doing this at all costs isn't worth the time in my opinion and a few img tags seem harmless to me. It reminds me of how people are against JSX on principle that code and HTML should never be mixed without attempting to consider any of the benefits.
from the states, but I guess my thoughts landed on phrases like "ever more", which makes me wonder if that's actually two words... nope it's a single word: evermore. Looks like I was interpreting the word in its first definition, but it was meant in the 2a definition

Definition of ever

1 :always; eg * ever striving to improve * the ever-increasing population
2a :at any time * more than ever before
2b :in any way * how can I ever thank you
3 —used as an intensive * looks ever so angry * am I ever happy to see you

Not really. Employers can say whatever they want, and here’s how. All applicants apply for Job Description A. If applicant doesn’t ask for pay range, they might be hired into the better paying Job Description B. The man who makes more than every woman for equal work has one additional duty for Job Description Super Omega X. My point is, you can’t legislate morality, and equal work for equal pay is a moral issue. Those without morals will find a way around any barriers imposed by legislation.

> Not being in poverty doesn't mean much if you still don't hold any social or political power.

I don't know why this was down voted, the process of slowly rephrasing the meaning of the American dream to mean "let's let a select few get super wealthy" from "working together everyone can become rich" is one of the biggest marketing scams in recent history.
malloc isn't part of the language and not necessary for typical intro course projects usually.
The HTTP warnings of "not secure" is an excellent idea, presumably in the next couple or releases it will happen for all HTTP pages in Normal mode as well. Honestly, I wish they'd speed it along: HTTP is not secure, and you should tell your users that. If the users complain to a site that "my browser said your site is not secure!", hopefully it will spur some sites along to fixing it. It is, after all, a totally valid complaint.

It's 2017, there's absolutely no reason why every single webpage you visit shouldn't be encrypted. The browser makers have the power to make it so, and they should. There's too much legacy HTTP servers out there to go nuclear with the full warning page (like you get for invalid certificates), but the browser should at least tell the users, very clearly, the fact that they're taking a risk.

You're down the Turing machine rabbit hole - I implied you could do that. Just the same way you could simulate a processor using an another processor - it's just not as efficient.

By the way - you could as well simulate a quantum computer on a classical computer; it'd just be incredibly slow.
"I have not, and cannot, make a promise that we can deliver by that date."

You might mean that as "I've been given 6 months. I expect to need 12 months if everything goes perfectly and there are no surprises. With surprises, 15-18 months seems realistic." but you haven't communicated that.

It's likely that the CEO is hearing "I can't guarantee six months... We'll be cutting it close." and s/he is keeping the bullseye at 6 months and expecting it to take seven. Or maybe s/he thinks that they can rein the scope back in (if necessary) with a month remaining and hit the deadline.

Be explicit with your concerns.

You live in the big city! My town name consists of a single letter and has six residencies. I'm out past Rangeley.

Rangeley has a buttload of money. There are some poor, but not many. They only have 1200 residents, or so. However, they can swell to ten times that size during tourist season. They love them some tourists.

And, yeah, this is a definite rarity. I've browsed for years, joined almost two years ago, kept lurking to get the feel if things, and just started posting a few months ago.

I have no idea what was there before the IGA. I suspect that building has always been an IGA and has been since the 60s. That's going by the architecture internally.

There are an insane number of places to eat and the community is doing something all the time. I can live anywhere in the planet, for the most part. I live here.

It's a downright Mainah convention! I'm accepted as a native, but I came here to go to boarding/prep school as a kid. Kents Hill, no apostrophe. I'm quite partial to the lifestyle and people.

I should be quieter. People will start moving here.

Nevermind comment below showed where to find it, you have to change Touch Bar shows to expanded - which having had this computer for like a year I never found.

Also, when an employee leaves a company, there's usually a line of 100 others out the door who would love to have the job. The reverse isn't as often true--that there's a line of 100 employers fighting to pick up that employee.

I am the founder of a company and I have told my employees my salary, so this isn't really a theoretical question I guess. So, yes. I have no problem disclosing it to those who matter. The reason behind me disclosing it was to show that I was not the highest paid person in the company per salary. I have asked my employees if they want their salaries shared, they have overwhelmingly voted against it, even when I bring up negotiation power.

The problem is not just inequality in of itself; it's the scale of that inequality that's a problem.

When 1/4 to 1/3 of the population is vulnerable to a health accident or can't provide for themselves/their family, AND half of the country's wealth goes to ~ 2% of the population, we have an inequality of many orders of magnitude.

What it boils down to is this: do we as a society simply write off those who struggle to meet basic human needs, or do we try to help them live?

The American research university is two* institutions uncomfortably sharing an organization -- one has as its mission undergraduate and professional education and the other cutting edge research. Some of the staff involved with the latter participate in larger or smaller ways in the former, but for those that excel at research, especially in STEM, its a more or less voluntary choice how much time and effort they choose to put into the teaching part of the university. There's also plenty of staff on both sides that don't at all overlap.

There's all kind of post hoc explanations for why this historically contingent organizational structure is really super optimal and the best of all ways of setting things up, but frankly they aren't very convincing. Probably the least bad is the notion that this structure is the only politically palatable way to subsidize the intellectual output of arts and many of the social science. But even there, I'm not wholly convinced.

The rear seats fold down, so there's actually plenty of room. I'm 6 foot 1 inch tall and was about 270 pounds at the time, and I would not have been able to sleep comfortably in the seat due to slouching over.

Probably only appropriate for favorable weather.

The stereotype is definitely incorrect. Americans find it incredibly uncomfortable to talk salary. It's considered pretty rude to ask, if someone's going to, it's usually preceded with an apology or a 'if you don't mind me asking'.
Any organization that has come close to "the ability to allocate the entire society's resources toward the common good" have created societies of great suffering and desperation so far. Maybe some super-intelligent computer system could do better?
