If the fancy club for rich people is the US, the only way you can get paid and not have the club take its cut is to move to another planet. You might be able to get around its house rules for performances by playing somewhere else, but it is literally the only available venue within 650 miles. If you even tried to set up a stage somewhere closer, bouncers loyal to the fancy club always arrive sooner or later to kick you out and burn it down.

That's more than $100 in gas money, and at least 20 hours on the road, just to get to and from a gig at a different club. So there is a cost to you in sticking it to the club management by peacefully refusing to play for them on their stage.

They know this when negotiating terms with you, and it allows them to capture some of that cost from the performers. Anyone willing and able to burn down the whole club can capture some of the potential cost of rebuilding it from the owners. "Yes, we could pay you a $20 stage fee and wait 3 hours to play, and not have to drive all the way to Club Canadia #3, or you could pay us $500 to go on stage right now, and you won't die in a fire and have your ashes added to the porcelain for the new urinals." You probably won't ever have to actually do that; they just have to believe your threat is credible in order to agree to a better deal.

That's what the petty violence is good for. It makes the other guy have an inkling that maybe, just maybe, this person could murder them and/or burn everything they own, and so they shouldn't act like a complete ass. It still works when that other guy is completely devoid of empathy, conscience, or courtesy.

Even if you don't believe in violence on principle, surely you must recognize the perception of weakness that can generate when in a negotiation with someone who does?
What a good idea! I have a powered sit/stand desk but tend to only stand during meetings, which luckily (well, unlucky in this context) aren't very often. Going to give a drafting chair a try.
Modern Monetary Theory is based on collecting taxes. I am talking about a new theory that is not based on taxes at all but instead, it is based on Government making money by selling govt. land, investing social security money in high growth funds, etc.
From the article:

"The bill would not prohibit an applicant from voluntarily and without prompting disclosing salary history information and would not prohibit an employer from considering or relying on that voluntarily disclosed salary history information in determining salary..."
Unless you moved around a lot, the cops would probably catch on to you and ding you for some sort of city code that prevents living in a van.

Back when I was in college, I actually seriously looked at buying a boat and docking it Emeryville, as the boat payments and docking fee would have been cheaper than rent. Unfortunately the marina had a 10 year wait list for live-aboard slips.

Yeah, but that's only because the bar has 90,000 people in it. If the bar had more people in it, the net worth wouldn't go up as much.
Traditional hunter-gatherer societies blend into their daily schedule some amount of sitting, some amount of walking, also running, also climbing trees, perhaps swimming, etc.

It's the variety that's the key difference. We do the same thing (whether that be sitting in a chair, or felling trees in the forest) all day long, for decades. The monotonous schedule seems to be the problem; we're not evolutionarily adapted to it.

Gross anatomy specimens like used to teach med students are definitely preserved. That's basically a requirement when you're going to use the same body through-out a course that takes 6 months to a year.

I don't have any specific experience with these sorts of cadaver labs, but I can tell you that preserved flesh looks and responds quite a bit differently than live tissue. Especially if you're trying to teach surgical techniques, I can see the benefit of using a cadaver that hasn't been chemically preserved.
You really can't appreciate troff (and runoff and scribe) unless you do all of your document preparation on a fixed width font 24 line by 80 column terminal :-)

If you force yourself to do all of your work in that environment for a few months you can get a really good understanding of why the Xerox Star, Sun-1, and the Macintosh were so amazingly cool to people.
NYC's subway system was started before cars were widespread, and it's still the lifeblood of the city, so it has to work. When it's even a little bit off, people complain.

SF's public transit system (except cable cars which are mostly just preserved for tourists now) was built after the automobile, and as such it feels like an afterthought.
I doubt enough people are turning to fringe conservative news sources--defined as "so far to the right even Fox News wouldn't go there"--like this to call it a trend.
They are not strapped for cash but they evidently don’t think it’s worthwhile to build what you exactly want. They can’t meet all needs of all users. They already have a spectrum of products. It appears one more is not what they think is in their best interests.
> Many years ago I avoided leaving negative feedback on a seller that agreeably accepted a return on stuff that was obviously counterfeit.

I would've never sent it back. Explain this situation to your credit card company.

If it isn't illegal by statute to send counterfeit goods, it's certainly against policy. All financial institutions have policies against moving these goods around if you can prove to some very low standard that the goods are counterfeit (take a handbag to a Macy's and have the counter clerk tell you it's counterfeit.)

If you're not good at negotiating a salary, you never had a high salary in the first place. There isn't a single company out there that pays you well out of the good of their heart.
This all happened less than a year ago and there was a lot of discussion of it, here and elsewhere. We have google and duck-duck-go, not to mention a search bar on most HN pages.

Perhaps we could point to facts rather than vague remembrances?
I'm not sure why you think the underlying physics is deterministic. That idea was the state of the art understanding in say the 19th century (billiard balls and Newtonian physics), but quantum mechanics, at the beginning of the 20th century, fundamentally changed the understanding of reality at the lowest level.

For a good layman's introduction I would suggest, "QED
The Strange Theory of Light and Matter", (1986) by Feynman. Hard ideas but clear prose. I like to read it every few years to remind myself of the fundamentals.
Now it'll just be based off of years of experience, which is probably better.
Asking about those is legal.

I refuse to believe that he didn't anticipate this given how insanely it was going up lately. I'm surprised he haven't bought back yet and wants it to go lower. It totally could though. Just 2 months ago $10k for Christmas sounded very optimistic.
> You won't get the English version.

Meanwhile the DVD/Bluray version usually has at least English and German voice tracks and subtitles, but usually French and some other versions as well.
> And if said algorithm corroborates that bias, then is reality somehow "bad" as a result, or do you just not like the outcome because it "feels bad"?

The algorithm won't corroborate the bias—it will include the bias, because the bias will be built into its data. It's not an independent variable.
> literally said that the key to republicans winning in the south was couching racism in more palatable euphemisms

Where did he literally say that? I read it as part of an argument that political racism was going to fade away as the ties between policy positions and race became more and more diffuse or abstract. Notably, the following portion was omitted from the pull quote on that The Nation page:

> But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other.

In some countries (e.g. Poland) the theaters have two shows, one with voice-over usually afternoons - for the kids, and subtitles later/nights, for grown-ups that most likely have an adequate knowledge of the foreign language.

All I Want for Christmas Is a Giant Whale Eye
Because many people don't want to read subtitles because it breaks their immersion or is distracting?

Because they are mostly 'lame' to you because you know the source language and not to someone who only knows the destination language?

Because voice artists often have better voices than the original actors?

I can understand you personally not liking dubs, but I don't see how it's difficult to see the point of those who do.
Like I said they are neat tech for what you get. I've had mine for over 2 months now and some of them record 10-20 clips a day. When they are not recording they basically are using next to no power.

The clip duration and re trigger interval can be set to up to 60 seconds. You can also set the re trigger to be immediate effectively making it record constantly. These settings among others are configured per camera in the app.
I doubt this is typical iphone user behavior. 12 months is way too short.
Fair enough, maybe it depends on your definition of "full bust".

But consider this... if the price were to go back to where it was just a year ago before the current mania (which is a common thing to happen when a financial bubble pops, after overcompensating to the downside) then it would be a 95% retracement from the highs (where, almost self-evidently, many people were buyers). And BTW a 95% retracement requires 20,000% gains to break even.

If you gave me a $1000 and I gave you $50 back, I think most people would say that I took all their money, even though technically they could still buy a couple pizzas or something.

So, again, it just depends on your definition of "full bust"
If someone would throw a hissy fit and set a salary range at which they cannot legally hire anyone because now applicants have a little bit more negotiating power, it's hard to believe they're in a position to do that in the first place, because the new rules will not be anywhere near the biggest annoyance in the hiring process.
What is the classification for this new protected group?
I think there's also the "I haven't made it yet, but I'll get there" mindset of a lot of readers. If someone hopes to be making $250k someday, then being assured that when they do they won't be penalized for it is reassuring.
Just last month I had to search and present all my W-2s and last paychecks of my previous jobs in order to enter my new job. I cannot think on something more annoying and invasive than that. This regulation must be a national law.
Imagine its an industry at the top of the food chain and middle man are forbidden, so you can go shop at the neutral 49% of stores, but they may not provision you with something essential and monopolised. Although in those cases the law is layed out to mandate certain types of business take contracts.
A much simpler case is the investment house my mother used shortly after my Father died. While they did not out right steal, they charged very high fees and tried to convince her to move her investments around. Now that she understands what she got into, it will still cost her more than it should to withdraw her money. She trusted them as the salesmen was from her church, and the company had "lutheran" in it's name.

Drug dealing is commerce that happens to be illegal. It's completely logical that most of the considerations of an ordinary market apply here. Drugs are a "victimless crime" in the technical sense that if all goes as planned, none of the people involved would have any complaint afterwards.

The thing is, the article doesn't mention the market for less victim-less crimes. It seems like a market for "murder for hire" would be a bit less reliable than a market for drugs - which is a relatively good thing.

Even more, those aiming to illegalize drugs inherently are aiming to make markets not function for drugs - aiming to make the experience more dangerous and costly than it would be otherwise. The most hardcore drug-warriors are open on this question but others try to sugarcoat it.

The German dubs are usually quite good (some are so good that it is really difficult to notice that it's dubbed), because the majority of the audience demands it. Having the same voice actor for multiple characters would be unusual (at best), and often the same actor is voiced by the same voice actor across movies, though sometimes it changes.
Completely agree. Paris, London, and Tokyo all have better and cleaner subways than NYC. But NYC is about as good as it gets in the US.
Believe it or not, as nasty as NYC subways are now, in the 1970s they were far dirtier.
Yeah; the largest ones are not single vendors but whole operations with strong opsec: use of separate fully encrypted laptops dedicated to the activity, networks of "senders" that'll roam the country sending the packages from different and random mailboxes, pyramidal networks where a main vendor will sell wholesale to re-sellers (those networks also tend to appear naturally - some DNM vendors are simply selling what they bought wholesale from vendors they never even talked to), preparing the packages themselves in isolated dedicated room and with protection to make sure no DNA is present in the packages, etc. in general I imagine it probably can be a pretty low-risk (but probably not low effort) method of making money illegally, compared to traditional drug dealing. And some vendors must have seen their fortunes explode if they hanged on to at least some of their past gained BTC given the recent price hike.

But then again you also have the (from the point of view of law enforcement) low hanging fruit: vendors that encrypt nothing, keep a full record of all their customers, tend to ship with very bad stealth, etc. those are the ones that tend to get arrested. Fortunately if you're a customer it tends to be easy to pinpoint those vendors - the lack of care and professionalism tends to display itself also in their profile or during simple communications.
I wish this could be said louder.

It does not ignore dividends when you set the dropdown above the chart to "Growth" as gp has, but you can see what it looks like to ignore dividends by selecting "Price".
Laptop sales have been declining overall since 2011. I’m not sure looking at unit sales declining is enough evidence that they have made a mistake. I got no dog in this fight. I don’t care either way but it seems foolish to think they haven’t thought things through. If they made a mistake, and they quite possibly did, they’ll try to correct it. In general assuming that personal tastes are normative can lead to incorrect conclusions. Put another way, Apple has way more data points to inform their decisions than you or I. Doesn’t mean they get right though.
I've never disclosed this when interviewing with employers, prior to the law. Not past compensation nor desired/expected comp. I don't see how it would be in my interest to disclose.

When recruiters ask, I say "I'd prefer not to disclose that information. Let's focus on figuring out whether there's a good fit, and if we decide that there is, then we can work out the compensation." It's never been an obstacle to the interviewing process, or getting offers at top-tier companies, though some recruiters were fairly insistent in trying to find out.

No contradiction between the two. Human beings have natures, habits, character, etc. That fact that, say, depriving people of food will tend to produce hunger does not contradict the idea that we have a measure of freedom in our choices. Of course, a simplistic, mechanistic view of the word will leave no space for anything but blind stuff bumping into other blind stuff, but that picture is wrong.
I don't get it, isn't this from 2013?

It also says 2013 in the paper. And papers from 2013 cite this paper according to Google scholar. And I'm relatively sure I read this paper years ago.
It could also go back to $100.

Bitcoin has no mainstream use right now. It's too expensive to transact in terms of money and time, it's too volatile to be a store of value, it's too technical to be used casually, it's too fragile since it gets hacked every which way, and it's too easily copied to be rare.
Wow, I didn't realize some people were not only asked salary history but expected to document it. A privileged bubble in which I live.
I'd imagine they bought as many as possible several years ago, and only release 3-4 at a time.

If that is the justification, then the possible error responses could be: 1. Username is incorrect, or 2: Username or password is incorrect. If no user exists with that username, then you can just tell the user that the username is incorrect.
Not convinced by the bit at the end arguing that profiling mainly rich families is right because that's where the money is. If you want to look at where the money is, charts breaking down the overall changes in revenue--literally breaking down where the money is--are the right tool, and plenty of news outlets and think-tanks have been making those. (Like, I don't know, this: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/DxNLXVIK9jjf6JdZlijXboCAnIA=... -- also, interesting URL with the rescaling operations there.)

The point of looking at particular individuals and families is to translate it into impact on people's lives, and 1) a lot more lives are lived in those lower income ranges, so there's a greater multiplier to the impact there, and 2) the impact of a given dollar change in take-home pay is larger for someone less rich.

For an example of the second factor, like a lot of people in the US tech business, my life probably doesn't change that much if my take-home pay goes up or down $1K. If someone only has a couple K of discretionary income every year it's a bigger deal; if someone can barely make rent anywhere in their city or can't afford to fix the car they take to work when it has mechanical issues, it's crucial.

It seems apparent that they're doing it because Tinder is more popular, same as their half-assed "swipe" functionality they keep trying to shoehorn into the UX.
I'm not talking about previous salaries.

I'm saying that if you see a job posting, it should say "Pays $50-$60k/yr". Employee knows where to begin and end negotiation.
The conversation is repeatedly borked by differences in COL. Touting the national median income and then claiming someone earning $100k in SF (where the median income is ~$100k) is "out of touch" is frustrating.
Yeah, unreal. Hey @sm give me $17m and I’ll give you $1m back and we’ll gauge your positivity/negativity.
