Exactly, it's game theory. The trick to getting high salaries is not to try to win individual negotiations but to win in the general marketplace. I always disclose and ask for their pay so that we can get that out of the way quickly, and I can move on to somewhere that pays what I'm looking for.
No thank you.

My salary is private. I do not want my family and friends to know how much I make.

I also have never told a potential employer my salary. I believe it stopped things from going on to the interview stage but the way they took my refusal made me assume they paid under market rate.
We didn't had such privileges.

The library only had books, laptops were out of reach for most pockets and the computer labs had about 20 PCs per room.
I remember seeing a table of salaries for each H-1 visa. I think the information is public.
Because you wouldn’t be buying Kraft Mac and Cheese at a Whole Foods. I’d be surprised if they even sell it.

Also, time. I would rather pay more at Target than wal mart because in my experience it takes longer to check out at Walmart, and god forbid the person paying has a problem with their debit card or coupons or whatever.

And I pay more to shop at Amazon.com so that I don't have to go to Target.
They really do that in America? I rented a lot of apartments in my country and was never asked about my income, or had a credit check. The usual way of avoiding not paying renters is requiring first rent plus guarantee deposit (usually equal to the one month rent) in advance. No further proofs of financial credibility required.
If the prospective employer can't ask, why would you offer a previous salary in the first place, let alone lie about it? Hiring company states their expected salary range, and you either accept it, reject it, or negotiate for your desired salary.
Ok cool, that makes sense. In that case, does CA law apply when you do a hire for your Texas office? Being both a Texan and California employer?
Yeah, but not with names, and not for every employee (ie., including non H1B workers), right?

The first contract term is. The implication is by knowing your salary they can do a much better job guessing how high they can raise your rent the next year (or whatever) without you leaving.
That level is still somewhat prohibitive for a lot of folks. Schooling alone can cost quite a bit, and without this a lot of places won't take you seriously regardless of your self-study. This aspect alone makes the person unable to reach Pasteur or Curie's "mom and pop research" level.

Not to mention supplies. I worked as a lab assistant for a dude studying the effects of zebra mussels in closed freshwater lake systems in Indiana (dams and whatnot, where the mussel would need to have been introduced to the lake). Microscopes capable of counting the young, ventilation hoods (for preservation chemicals), scales, and methods of disposing of biowaste from the traps for adults? Yeah, that's even more - and this dude had a pretty low budget. What he did have was the time to put into the research which is yet another thing that alludes folks. Some fields of study really needs better equipment than we were using - plus it has been 20 years since then.

It isn't that the low-budget stuff or the "mom and pop research" is less valid or not good enough. It is that even that level is cost-prohibitive.
Nah it's exactly the same.
They don’t need to ask you anymore. You self-reported it to a credit agency and friends, family, potential employers can get that plus other financial information from these agencies.

In my opinion, none of the CGI they showed was really beyond the uncanny valley; most scenes which which weren't still photos or landscapes made predominantly of rock were still quite fake looking. Especially the "beyond" examples of Tarkin and Obama.

I'm sorry but that sounds ridiculous, do you have actual experience with this sort of thing? I don't, but I'd be pretty blown away if a supply chain logistics expert came in here and said that groceries cost less in rural locations because people don't eat out as much. Why would they be unable to account for that? Do you really think urban consumers have random and unknowable patterns of grocery consumption that would lead to more spoilage?

I'm gonna need to see some sources to back up this claim.

Thanks for that - there's one near me in Mountain View but I could not for the life of me tell what Daiso was from window shopping while going on trips to Trader Joes.
Actually in this case it’s the buyers of labor (employers) that have all the market power. Denything them this additional information gives the producers of labor an edge through asymmetric information, theoretically. In practice, I don’t buy it. Sophisticated entities with lots of resources (aka employers) will always find a way to game any situation to their benefit. They could simply use this as a reason to pay everyone less.

I’m all for empowering employees but this doesn’t seem like quite an improvement.
the problem with these subjects its so far over my head its hard to know if what he is saying is reasonable, but interesting read
This is only semi-related, but it seems like the subtext behind a lot of these articles is that America was better in the 20th century, when elites made all the decisions, and the internet has resulted in too much democracy.

This is another problem that boils down to short-sighted politicians voted in to cut spending everywhere and kill regulations. Maybe things were better when a group of elite New Yorkers controlled the entire media and the range of political discourse.

> there goes your expectation of an increased salary without negotiation

I dunno, since the law requires employees to disclose salary ranges to applicants on request, the rule “apply only if (new position salary) > (current salary)” seems to not require negotiation.

OTOH, disclosed ranges from emloyers but no disclosed salary from employees makes salary negotiation a lot easier for employees, too. I don't think the gender wage gap is because women refuse to negotiate, though it's probably at least in part because, in the status quo, they come into it in worse position because of, among other factors, salary history.
It's funny, while both felt pretty plasticky; Leia looked much better to my eyes than Tarkin. The brevity and minimal movement helped, I think.
The candidate wouldn't need to give a fake inflated salary... the company isn't allowed to ask about salary history at all.

Even if they weren't, I don't see any real trouble with your scenario (other than that I think establishing a pattern of lying in a relationship so early probably isn't great). But if my last job underpaid me, and now I want to earn market rate... I'd be grateful to not have to answer questions about my previous salary.
Indeed?

If you give a list of "possible next states" from any given state, that should encompass all the rules. If there's a rule that's preventing you from doing something, it's not a possible state.

By nothing they mean hints about what constitutes "good Go strategy". But it implicitly knows all of the rules of go.
It's not ridiculous at all, in fact some of us are paying 45% of our salary in taxes already!
Yeah, on the ImageNet data set, where all the images are pretty unclear, low res and cropped weirdly leaving out context, deep learning "beats" human vision system.

Human brain beats everything for now. It is a much more generic system.

I don't know enough about the specific fields you talked about to comment.

Deep learning is an incredibly powerful tool, but we should differentiate between its actual merit and the huge hype around it, mostly done for PR and misleading investors/financial analyst.
It is simultaneously the most extraordinary documentary you've seen and also most chilling comment on the depths and banality of human brutality.

It's unlike anything on film: The mass murderers believe they are showing off their exploits to an appreciative audience, demonstrating to the filmmakers what they did. They go so far as to end up acting out a surreal fantasy, complete with sets and costumes, which cannot be described. But this is a serious documentary about a horrible event; it's not parody or satire. Somehow, the perpetrators of the killings reveal themselves.

Study Suggests Malnutrition Can Be Fixed With Food, Not Crop Hoarding
I work in this exact field. Yes. It's essentially a thermos. There's several cans nested within each other. Each can hangs from a different refrigeration stage. Typically you go from 300 K (the outer vacuum can), to 77 K (first pulse tube stage), to 4K (second pulse tube stage), then to 300 mK (still of dilution unit), then to base at 10 mK, though the 10 mK stage doesn't have it's own can. Everything is copper or gold plated copper where you want heat to flow, or G-10 (fiberglass) or stainless steel where you don't. There's mechanisms for thermally shorting stages together... sometimes it's a mechanical gripper that pinches an extension from a colder stage, other times it's stainless steel tubing that gets filled with gas (the heat conducting material) when you want to transfer heat, and then evacuated when you don't.

Because you're not supposed to chew it (I believe that's even written in the "tasting tips" on the Lindt packaging at least). Bite off small bits and let them melt in your mouth. It's kind of like a dark and very tasty coffee, if that sounds good to you, give it a try.

You lack imagination :) what I find hard to imagine is many teams going back and forth between microservices in go, java, python because of memory consumption.

Besides, every decent Java dev knows that it's a memory hog, comparing to most of the platforms out there; but that normally isn't a concern when you choose something Jvm based.

Surely if they are really starting with "zero", then all the AI is given is the arrangement of stones on the board (which starts empty) with the opportunity to select a position for its next stone after its opponent has placed one, until the game is over. (Let's assume that there is another piece of software responsible for determining when the game has finished, and who has won). As such, the only "rules" the AI needs are that it can only place one stone at a time, only in an empty position, and only when it is not the opponent's turn.

To start with "less than zero", though, it would be interesting to see them give the AI a 3D simulation of a room with a simulated Go board and a simulated stone, and give the AI a fixed amount of time for it to have its turn. Just by using the pixel data from a simulated camera, it could learn to use a simulated arm to place the simulated stone on the board in a legal position. The reward function would just have to say, at the end of each allotted time period, whether a legal move had been made or not, and the AI could bootstrap up from that.
All such information is public there?
My friends and I argue about this all the time - does the world go the way of Star Trek, or Blade Runner? "The Culture Series," or "Snow Crash?"

I think dystopic cyberpunk universes are unsustainable - I don't get how you can cram hundreds of millions of under-classed people into what are essentially poverty ghettos without a total outright revolution, or just an apocalypse event that resets the technological scale or eradicates the human race. My perspective is that improvements in automation will lead to inevitably a realization that "working for food" is a dated concept that will go away. Hopeful, sure, but it's that or death in my opinion.

To see a business betting on the other end-game... that's harrowing.

I've attended ACCU a few times and really enjoyed it. I've also heard good things about Steelcon, but I haven't made it there yet.
> Is it worth people being killed to get the gender balance into the shape you prefer?

This is obviously a tough question to answer, and maybe the answer here is no. Further, I wouldn't say "worth people being killed" as much as I'd say it's "worth risking people dying". Obviously this is context sensitive and is different for each treatment and study.

Despite this, as the devils advocate, you could say that given that men and women can respond to different treatments in a range of ways, the ideal distribution would be diverse enough to accommodate for those differences, which would provide a better statistical subset and by extension producing "better" data. Same caveats apply, where you mentioned "too much danger" and if the study is "significantly advantaged". In short, it could be less about fairness (equity) or equality and more about collecting a broader or more diverse range of data.
Rich people have done an absolutely astounding job of convincing poor conservatives that this nonsense makes sense.
I think you underestimate the value of all the product reviews on Amazon. While I doubt that I've been influenced by ads on Google, I'm influenced all the time by the reviews on Amazon. Yeah, Amazon needs to do better about the fake reviews (and they are working on it, it's gotten better).

But there is a huge amount of value tied up in those reviews. I'd argue that it creates such a network effect that starting up a competitor would be really hard. Possible but Amazon would have to stumble.

I did the same. Every time I moved jobs I got a pay raise because the number I provided was above what I was currently making. In a few cases, they offered well above what "I wish I had," which was a nice bonus.
> They have a new reinforcement learning algorithm that should be generically applicable to anything where a long sequence of moves results in a specifically gradable outcome.

Statements like these always make me wonder why certain obvious things weren't tried. If it's so generic, why wasn't it tried on Chess? Or was it tried, failed to impress and thus didn't make it into the press release?

This is a big problem with all these public discussion on AI. Almost no one speaks about algorithm failures. I haven't seen a single research paper that said "oh, and we also tried algorithm in X domain and it totally sucked".

Right, so I can forgive the occasional mistake or slight bent. But the point Chomsky makes in his book is that the omissions and exaggerations are consistently in line with the desires of the government and with advertisers, much more so than can be explained by random chance.
I've been confused about how this law (and/or similar laws in other states) applies when the applicant is not in the state. I'll be interviewing someone who currently lives in North Carolina, for a job in Washington, another interviewer is in South Carolina, and if hired the employee will report to someone in New York. Looks like none of these states have a law like this, but if any of them did, how does it work?
I believe that's part of the reason it's not really possible to get numbers like 5 times the average salary in Norway, while it definitely is as a software engineer in the US.

I'm not sure I buy the implication that elites no longer makes decisions because the Internet democratized the things.

These are transmon qubits... they're designed for long coherence times, in other words, to store quantum information for long periods of time. D-Wave qubits do not have long coherence times-- by D-Wave's own admission. They argue that long coherence times are not necessary for quantum annealing. Many don't buy this argument.
