> I've never worked on a single service whose tests ran that fast, given that the time spent by the overhead of the test framework and any other one-time initialization can take a few seconds just itself. It's great to have tests that run fast, but that's a bit ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous. It's good.

I work on an analysis pipeline with thousands of individual tests across a half dozen software programs. Running all of the tests takes just a few seconds. They run in under a second if I run tests in parallel.

If your tests don't run that fast then I suggest you start making them that fast.

This assumes that the share price has maintained that elevated level at a later date.

Ideally, you want to cash out on some long-term positions right around the time of the buybacks. The buybacks have raised the share price, but you’re only paying long-term capital gains taxes, which used to be capped at (I think) 15% for all investors, regardless of income bracket.

> If the goal is to spread wealth more evenly . . .

If the only goal was to spread wealth more evenly, then what we should do is simple appropriate all wealth beyond (num_wealth / num_people), and give it to all the people who don't have that much wealth. Then it would all be even stevens. :)

But there is not just one goal. Another important goal is to still have a functioning economy after applying your policy choices. All tax policy must at a minimum consider efficiency as well, from a purely pragmatic standpoint. Otherwise you end up in a situation where you have destroyed your economy by eliminating important incentives.

There is are also moral arguments about what is "right" (for those who believe in such a concept). If Bob and I both did work worth $10k, but Bob used the money to have a fancy vacation and I saved the money against future needs, should I be taxed more? Maybe! It depends on your moral outlook, and also your beliefs about how spending and investing affect the economy -- both are needed to some degree or another.

Historically, wealth taxes have been tried. They are generally not very popular, and do not raise very much money. They have a tendency of hitting middle and upper middle class retirees, as well as high income people. They also can't be very large in magnitude without seriously degrading investment returns (and thus incentive to invest). They also tend to target a group of people who are a "flight risk." Unlike income, which is often not possible to relocate out of a given nation, wealth is easily transported across national lines to jurisdictions without a wealth tax. Read about France's wealth tax on Wikipedia for more information on this.

I built a web app that turns your smartphone into a 3D controller (think Wii remote). No need to install a mobile or desktop app.

Just visit https://web-riimote.herokuapp.com
on a smartphone (it'll be your controller) and a laptop/desktop (it'll be your display). Works best in Chrome.

Here's a video showing it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2r1-lR6Xq8 .

This project was inspired by the 2016 Android Experiments Winner (https://experiments.withgoogle.com/3d-controller). The 2016 Android Experiments winner turns your smartphone into a 3D controller using Chromecast and an Android app. But `web-riimote` demonstrates that it's possible to do the same with only a web app.

And it doesn’t help that large companies use to hire jobs that are low skilled directly and at least there was an opportunity for advancement. But now with most of those jobs being contracted out, there is no chance for advancement.

I’m even seeing that in IT. Back in the day you could start out as tech support, or an operator (as I did - long story) and be given a chance to program and move up. Now even those jobs are outsourced. It’s just as easy to hire someone from a foreign country to admin your AWS hosted instances as it is to hire someone locally.
The tech industry is unwell, in our case despite abundant cashflow it's based in the completely irrational.

Your salary would be a full 10-20% higher with average turnover numbers if it weren't wasted on modern tech recruiting practices. And your company would quickly have less than average turnover number to boot. You'd get organic interest, and would properly pay attention to employee and manager referral.

Hiring practices are almost entirely cargo cult, and much more value for companies is being destroyed in all these terrible HR practices that have been latched on to. To me it appears like empire building and a complete lack of understanding in how and who works.

It's easy to do some research and say, "Hey, this works! Look at all the places that did it!"

Here in the US, we already have a complex network of safety nets to take care of the people who UBI is really targeted for. This begs the question, if you give people a basic income, what social services people already depend on will you get rid of?

There's no way you can keep all of the social services AND give people a basic income, it's just not economically feasible.
Yes, many employers have deflationary expectations in an inflationary environment. The most difficult part about disabusing them of this notion is that there are still too many current and potential employees who are all too willing to encourage this.

That's why I implore people to 1) know the value of their labor; 2) do the math concerning their (long-term) cost of living. Lots of folks seem to think that they can take a pay hit here or there just to get a foot in the door or tide themselves over, not understanding that they generally setting the bar for their future pay 1) because many (at least US) employers will ask for salary history; and 2) even if they don't, the information is probably available via a data broker.
Legally, they could sue you for the same value that they were charging the customer for your work until the end of the contract, which is the money that they lost by the contractor not working.

In practice, they will probably not do that as the HR team is busy with other things and the lawsuit might be bad PR, although a hiring manager that wants to get back to you for doing that might have the HR department sue you, legally they could do that.
Here you can calculate it for Elecrow:
https://www.elecrow.com/pcb-assembly.html

I ended up doing my last 10 boards by hand because the minimum price is too high now, it starts at $141, no matter how few pads you take.

Two years ago I got 20 boards incl. pcb and parts for $120, each had 46 SMD pads to be soldered! 3 cent per pad, 46 pads per board, 20 boards and $30 minimum fee for soldering. $51.60 in parts (20 atmegas, resistors and caps are free), $20 PCBs, $8.40 shipping. That was fantastic!

Does anybody know a cheaper PCBA service? Seeed and itead were not better than Elecrow...

Nitpick: what you are calling "saturation" corresponds better to the biconic color space coordinate most people call "chroma". Very dark blues may not be perceptively far from black, but they can have very lopsided spectra and be highly "saturated" in the sense of distance from the gray point in the LUV chromaticity plane.

Basically the counterintuitivity you're citing goes away when you talk about color distinct from luminance, which is how most people here understand it anyway.
How We Do Secret Management at Razorpay
No, that's not what I want. Stuff like JMP might not work in my country and would tie me to that particular provider.

I dream of a solution where I just put a SIM in and I am good to go (go as in "go away from the physical location of my sim card"). SMS will be forwarded to my email inbox and upon receiving a phone call it will be forwarded to the computer I am currently using via some protocol (SIP/webrtc?). Whether such computer is a mobile phone connected to the internet via a cellular modem or a laptop connected via some wifi that should not matter.

This should work with my current SIM card and with whatever other SIM card from any provider.

And BTW FYI: JMP does not work in my country. Please stop assuming everybody is from the US.

That's what I am thinking too. It will be interesting to see how people who have only seen UBI their whole life will behave. In a summer job as a teen I worked at a government welfare agency. Some of the clients were third generation welfare recipients and you could definitely see that they had no idea how a job works because they had never seen anybody who held a job for a long time. They would just skip work for a week without telling anybody or be insulted when the boss told them what to do.

A UBI experiment will probably need 50 years or more to determine what the long term consequences will be.
Absolutely!

This is how google "evolved":

2. Then they put ads on the top of the search results but they said: "yeah... but the background is totally different so there is not problem". They used a yellow background.

3. Now most people don't realize that top results are ads. All of them.

I completely get that, but I'm paid for the same position 5 times more. The wage they are providing my position in London isn't even livable without roomates. I could (if I wanted a terrible commute) afford a nice apartment in NYC for what I'm paid. If the UK gov't wasn't so anti-immigration, I could actually afford a pretty decent flat in London for what I'm paid as well (on top of the house I currently rent).

That article is incredibly frightening.

> to conclude that, although misconduct and questionable research methods do occur in “relatively small” frequencies,

which is kind of expected in a career track that doesn't exactly come with hedge fund-type money -- why would many people be dishonest for grants?

> there is “no evidence” that the issue is growing.

which might mean that the issue isn't in how science is practiced nowadays, but that the scientific process (grants, publication, peer review, research programs) has always been broken.

It's not clear that any of these is the case, but it's depressing to see "well, people are generally not crooks and the game has always been played this way" as an optimistic view of the replication crisis.
I would consult glassdoor, payscale or similar websites to find out the wages offered to full-time employees. Then, depending on the status quo (my experience, project fit etc), will quote a similar amount.
But people have been working for a decade and a half to open up global migration of workers, as well as allowing China and others to export whatever it wants at any price (and several other "details", like IP theft of course). When 2 markets merge, prices converge.

What are engineer wages in China, the Phillipines, India, ... ? Oh wait ...

Second: with opening up markets, ... if there is one well-known fact in economics it's that when money can move over a wider area it concentrates into fewer hands. The bigger the markets operated, the fewer rich there are. And therefore, the more "ultra" the ultra-rich are. The shareholder "wealth transfer" seems to me to be this effect playing out.

That explains some of it. And that's with the minimal opening up of borders that has occurred over the past 2 decades (ie. mostly the EU and America, and in terms of population it's not that much).

That's a bit of a question I have for globalists : global average wage is $2000. Not per month, not net after tax. Not actual dollars. That's yearly, before tax, PPP dollars, not actual dollars. (PPP dollars means it's $2000 worth of, say, food (say strawberries or big macs), but it's actually only $400 worth of things like Gold or perhaps more relevant, iPads/Phones, that have global prices)

If one opens up global labor migration, that's the average wage that will be seen worldwide, and that's the expected result. Note: I am NOT saying that letting 1% of people migrate will drop wages like a stone immediately. But it will move in that direction. Nor am I saying that this has anything to do with work attitudes or ...

The "big secrets" about the economy that must be denied because they are thoroughly at odds with policy that we want to pursue:

1) there is a global oversupply of labor. You could pick ~16% of humans worldwide, disappear everyone else, and have almost zero effect on the economy. That means wages everywhere (even in places with dismal wages like Bangladesh) are too high in market terms. And I would like to point out that at least 2/3rds of those 16% work for governments, directly or indirectly, and "if everyone just behaved correctly" we also wouldn't need them.

(and note: this cannot be fixed with minimum wage laws for obvious reasons)

2) The global economy is demand-limited. Producing more goods would NOT result in more sales. We have "everything we want" (in economic terms, that means everything you're willing to work extra for). This means, loosely stated, that the above problem does not just apply to workers, but to companies in general as well.

There are only so many dollars you can shave off of your employment budget before people decide they do not have to bother.

It's an escalating problem in Eastern Europe in general. Our politicians are way too greedy. They lost all perspective. They try being a bit more insolent since the last year, they sit and wait -- no revolts, no fires, no pitchforks. So hey, these people don't mind! Let's get EVEN MORE money from them! Sadly it's how it has been going ever since the fall of the Soviet Union. Many elderly people say: "It was not all sunshine and rainbows back then either but at least the people had everything necessary to live respectful lives". They do have a point.

Thank the gods for internet and for me being a programmer ever since teenager. Otherwise I would probably live off social benefits as well.

It's very easy to demean people for being lazy or unmotivated or non-ambitious. But the reality is, the best career advancement ~85% of the people around here can hope for is an awful job with 2-3 hours of commuting in total for the day, for an income that exceeds the bare minimum needs with 5-10%. So it's pretty normal many decide not to bother, or to turn to petty crime.

I do appreciate people in the community thinking about how we can get to a more enjoyable developer experience.

Many great developers come to JS and feel frustrated with the language and all the work-arounds that JS devs take for granted. Whenever I work on the Rails server-side of a project I yearn for the simplicity and elegance when I go back to the front end. That said, Java makes my brain hurt, so maybe I just gel with Rails really well.

Things like this have been at the prototype stage at Sandia since the 1990s. When I started reading the article I started imagining how you would package a fiber laser and battery and when I saw the picture it looked like I'd imagined.

That weapon is fielded and it fires 2 second pulses. Prototype weapons in the U.S. fire much faster pulses that vaporize the first millimeter or so of your skin or clothing and produce an effect similar to a "flashbang"; once the air ionizes it absorbs the tail end of the pulse, the expanding gases create a physical impact that can knock you down.

I think you mean politically feasible. And political feasibility is something that changes with the popular will.

Not to say we’d want to keep all our current welfare type benefits with UBI
>>simply moping around doing nothing of value

while this may be true, I think it's somewhat of a false dichotomy. If we get to the point where UBI is implemented, I don't think the only two choices will be 'continue working or mope around'.

There are hundreds of thousands of ways to create value in society, and they don't have to be tied to the notion of working in exchange for money for survival.

I think the fear is that a small portion of society will be doing all the work to support the 'lazy ones'. It's understandable, but I think it is entirely possible to avoid that situation. Of course, it would require a fundamental shift in our worldly view (i.e. from individual success to shared success), but those discussions are hard and usually get shut down as 'commie crap'.
