I find it humorous that this is being done with good intentions, "to benefit creators".

In one sense it appears tone deaf to how much CC-licensed sharing can be argued to enable an economy of content creators, by lowering certain transaction costs.

But in light of recent revelations and the public mood, it seems more prescient: perhaps pointing the way to a future where everybody pays for every little bit of content they consume, rather than being the product themselves, in a "free" offering. That old idea of micropayments for content, here we come, eh? And the EU being the first (for once) to lawify it. Is it too early to pat them on the back?

If you can encourage reuse, that's good. If you can encourage payment, that's good. Different strokes, for different folks, works. As I understand it, the proposal forces payment. That's not good. Creators choices should not be constrained in this way.

Instead of constraining options, I feel EU legco, should see if there is an opportunity to legislate to ease the way for implementing and executing micropayments / content transactions ( a real problem ), if there is, do that. Law that engages with and enables technological realities, rather than trying to constrain something already useful, would seem to work better here.

Currently earning $300k base with 100k in RSUs annually at Oracle as an engineer, though my title is different (director title). All they've asked from me so far is engineering IC work.

I had to negotiate hard for it, and my expertise spans multiple currently hot tech domains. Also a former founder of my own startup.

I'll also say that despite the common hater mentality against Oracle, it's been a nice place to work in my experience. As long as your boss and team are a good fit, you can have a good life, interesting work and good balance.
What would an example of one of these people’s background be? And what job title? Individual contributor or director?

“Research Scientist” perhaps, with a PhD from Stanford in NLP would be my best guess, but I have no clue.

I think you're sort of comparing chalk with cheese there. I see what you're saying to a point but we're talking about a bit of text on a web page that's in the public domain, not money or copyrighted media. Last time I checked, it's legal to make a copy for personal use anyway isn't it? If I bought a DVD and wanted to convert it for playback on my iPad I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go to jail for it.
I'm guessing it's from the financial perspective, not a technical one. Netflix is a reasonably stable, well-known brand worth over $100bn and that has 100m+ subscribers.

From a salary perspective, I'd suspect they have to be competitive with the other companies for tech talent, so it's reasonable to include them here.

Huh? Are you self employed? I don't understand this.
That is so right.

In fact one of the best organization I ever lived was in a small company (<30 employees) and everything was just organized in folders. Just Folders, no special tool, no wiki, nothing. In fact the main document describing the organization was maybe 10 pages long and the first thing you had to read when joining. As everyone was following it it made finding anything a breeze.

There was basically a semantic document number indicating what the document was about, which revision it was and where it was stored. Each Project/Product had an index linking to the document that was maintained by hand. This even extended to software versions where you had to publish some zipped version of your software at each release.

I wonder however how it would scale...

There's still the question of FAANG branches in other parts of the world not paying nearly as much as they do in the US, which is bullshit to me - if an employee generates value while working in the US, it does so outside of it as well. Companies this big shouldn't lower their compensation to match the country they operate in, I feel like it's an insult to employees who simply were born/decided to live in a different country

This is an interesting take. The CIA/FBI/GCHQ have provided precisely zero evidence to the public on their various, and extensive, list of claims that Russia did bad thing X.

Why is the burden of proof on the conspiracy theorist to prove a negative assertion, and not on the intelligence services - many of whom have a storied history of making things up - to prove a positive assertion?

Seems very fair to me.

I paid $5000 for a good TV for 5 years. If after 2.5 years it breaks and they refund me $2500, which I am then forced to use to buy a shitty $2500 TV that will only last me 2.5 years, then effectively I paid $5000 for 2.5 years of good TV followed by 2.5 years of shitty TV, which is unfair to me.

If instead I take the $2500 and add my own $2500 to buy a new good TV for 5 years, then they instead switched the deal on me to 7.5K for 7.5 years, which is not what I originally signed up for, so it becomes an unfair bait and switch.
Depends on your cost. But If that's >$150k post-tax, a few years of savings can go a long way in lower-cost states. Probably won't work in the Bay Area though.
What I know about those who make $300k+/y or more, money is just one part of the motivation that makes them work. The reason they make loads of money is that because they aren't the type that wants to go to the beach to live idle life.

Some parents don't realize that after certain age, you have to start treating teens are pre-adults and not kids anymore. This depends on the kids maturity, but is generally around 13, 14 or 15.

It is not about do as I say, but do as I do. Lead by example and not by strength.

I build parenting-control systems (via DNS) and I often see parents trying to force it on older kids (and even college students) to try to control them. My response is that strict restrictions only work for younger kids that are not mature enough to make good decisions. As they get older, they will find a way to bypass them and will hate their parents for it.

I don't blame them as they generally want the best for their kids. Being a parent is not easy.

The article uses "beyond reasonable doubt" which is obviously a misapplication of the legal term of art. This being civil law, not criminal, the 50:50 proof, i. e. "preponderance of the evidence" should suffice.

In reality, I doubt there will be a practical difference to how it has been handled in the past here in Germany, where similar law has long been practice.

That means: your sign-up page needs a checkbox, that cannot be pre-checked, and that clearly states that it's an opt-in to receive these mails. This needs to be separate from any acceptance of ToS or anything else that is necessary for the transaction in question.

To verify the form submitter's identity, send a verification to their e-mail address (if you haven't already). Make sure the verification email does not already contain any advertisement itself.
The hard part here is not recording the check on the box--any email service provider will handle that. The hard part is the "full understanding." Historically lots of us have

a) been willfully unclear about what it means to subscribe to a list

b) changed what our mailings are like over time.

We can stop doing (a), with effort, but I don't see how (b) will ever go away. So this is going to be continuous, active effort with subscribers. I would like to think that very easy, reliable, one-click unsubscribe will be sufficient.

Report to the CEO.

I live in Brooklyn, office is in Manhattan.

Got here by my current company acquiring mine; I've been here a little under three years and have resisted starting another company because I like my current one so much and frankly, I've got a lot of impact. I have a CS background from a top-end school which made my first few career moves relatively easy. One difference is that I was always more interested in the product side of things so I started after school as a product/front-end engineering/design generalist (ie: get shit done guy) for Google and then a series of startups, which allowed me to collect a lot of things to point to so far as my contributions. Google was too slow and bureaucratic, the other startups were interesting but not mine.
We have a monorepo. Many subdirectories have README.md files, plus things like godoc/pydoc/etc. We also have a top-level docs directory for stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.

If you decline the job with your current company in your region, what is your best alternative? What is the employer's best alternative? That determines the limits to what you will accept and that they will offer. (Economists call this BATNA - best alternative to a negotiated agreement)

Cost of living sets a basic expectation, but janitors in silicon valley don't earn the high wages software engineers do there.

The expected value a company can derive from the contributions of an average employee also differ - Google has the market and infrastructure to profiy more per engineer hour than a typical small business.
To your question: "How do you even get to do that?" You ask. My current enterprise job was not offered as remote. It was advertised as an in-office job. When the job was offered to me, I asked if I could work remote. Due to how hard hiring is for my role, I was told it'd be no problem (and I had other offers; lesson for another thread, "always negotiate from a position of power").

That's true, I'm not the op, but changesets get in a way when using git for SCM, where the typical workflow is to merge between two branches on the level of subdirectories.

In my company people simply use checkout to apply changes from another branch, but that doesn't handle well for example file removals. It also creates a completely different commit so the branches diverge more and more, making things like rebase more time consuming.

It is a huge pain, which would not exist if we would use SVN as a backed for example.

Yeah, it can feel stupid to let go of a "golden ticket". But, like others, I suggest looking into going the FIRE (financially independent, retired early) route. Once FIRE'd, you'll be in a better place to start your company. That $1.1M of unsheltered assets, invested properly, can yield you more than $40K of passive, nearly tax-free income. But, you'll need to get your expenses down to live off of that and start investing that cash hoard. Take the next year to work on that. Over the course of that proceeding year, you'll earn another $500K. The $300K-400K of this that you'll take-home can be put toward long-term housing (whether that be renting or owning). If you keep your income low enough, a huge portion of your health care premiums will be subsidized.

Companies generally under-value private equity precisely for the purpose of compensation, as potential hires are attracted to upside.

Yup. The first film was the beginning. The Animatrix and Enter the Matrix were the middle. And the final 2 films the two-part conclusion. Just watching the films is like watching Act 1 of MacBeth, then skipping Acts 2-4 and going straight to Act 5. Not going to be the best viewing experience.

That said, they did make sure the films had enough injected explanation that movie-going audiences weren't totally lost, but unless you watched it the way the Wachowskis intended, it would come off as disoriented and exposition-heavy, nowhere near the quality of the first film.

Not that they are masterpieces on the level of Shakespeare. But having gone back and watched the first film, then Animatrix and played Enter the Matrix, before re-watching the final films as a two-parter, it does make sense as a consistent, coherent story with a beginning, middle, and end, and even quality throughout.

Don’t forget the govt takes over 40 percent when your making upper class to higher level salaries especially if your single.

That 300k is really only 180k annually. So the govt takes the salary of a lower level upper class person for taxes.

What really pisses me off about FAANG branches in EU is that they will pay you way less than what they're paying for the same role in the US, which feels like an insult.

There's been some discussion about this on the gopher-project mailing list[1] recently, but there's significant debate about the correct way to do this. Part of the problem is that Gopher menus are fixed-format, so there's no good place to put information that a selector is TLS-capable while maintaining compatibility with existing clients. Most of the proposals either specify a fixed port (e.g. 4370) which indicates secure-gopher support, or using some sort of STARTTLS mechanism for opportunistic encryption. There's also a proposal for a new CAPS.TXT[2] key to enable Gopher Strict Transport Security for supporting user agents.

Good answer. Also be careful with how you define OO object identity. Some ORMs cache in-memory objects (eg: lookup by id) and determine if an object is the same through equals() implementation and hashCode().

IMHO ORMs are nice if you use a OO heavy language, and want to reuse ORM classes in your domain and/or as DTOs. The biggest gotcha is that you will have to understand the quirks of the ORM (N+1, lazy, object equality, eager vs. lazy, types of inheritance, pk generation, integration with legacy DBs, polymorphism, etc).

Some legacy DBs make it very hard to integrate with an ORM (eg: no PK, Composite PKs with weird PK generation, etc).
