> you find a good candidate, give them what seems like a competitive offer, then they disappear, and you learn after a couple of months they preferred my position, but got better pay elsewhere, where the difference is definitely small enough that we would cover it. If only the candidate wasn't so polite!

or maybe: "If only you didn't try to shortchange the candidate!"?

numbers on offer are the honest signal free agents get in the job market. if the jobs are similar enough, why should the candidate expend extra energy to achieve what is the default state elsewhere? why should they risk receiving a could shoulder because they negotiated "too hard"?
This is a fundamental problem that a lot of people don't understand. In order to lower travel speed, the road itself needs to be designed with a lower speed in mind. Just posting a 40 km/h speed limit in a road with a design speed of 80 km/h won't result in lower traffic speeds without constant enforcement.

Honest question. What do you do when the salary offer is contingent on providing w2 for verification of previous salary? Non sales role. I had a company I wanted to work for go through the whole interview process, get to an offer stage, and I offered my number first. They said no we can't do that but we can do this. 'this' was less than I was making currently, so I told them no. They asked for W2 to verify. At that stage I said hell no, no longer interested. But what would you do if the demands that?

Wikipedia on "Riparian doctrine" indicates it's a limited and specialized form of property rights.

> Under the riparian principle, all landowners whose properties adjoin a body of water have the right to make reasonable use of it as it flows through or over their properties. If there is not enough water to satisfy all users, allotments are generally fixed in proportion to frontage on the water source. These rights cannot be sold or transferred other than with the adjoining land and only in reasonable quantities associated with that land. The water cannot be transferred out of the watershed without due consideration as to the rights of the downstream riparian landowners.

0-RTT has to be supported by both sides in order to work. If a server receives a 0-RTT request under circumstances where it deems 0-RTT unsafe (such as one that modifies state), it can simply refuse to process the request and instead respond with the normal TLS handshake. If an attacker later tried to replay that request, the same thing would happen.

The co-pay is designed to make you share in the pain of the sky-high costs the drug manufacturer charges the insurance company. This has two benefits—1) you are only going to get it if you really need it 2) maybe you’ll lobby your congressperson to rein in monopolist pricing.

By giving you a coupon there’s no pain sharing and those benefits are lost. Sure you’ll pay higher premiums, either directly or in reduced wage gains, but that’s defuse and indirect, so far less likely to drive behavior.

Ask HN: What branch of CS does this recipe problem belong to?
I find that I waste a lot of food. As a side project, I'm trying to come up with some meal plans that will combine preexisting recipes such that there is minimal waste left over. E.g. I use some of ingredient X in recipe 1, and then some in recipe 2, etc. There are constraints set by the size of the units my supermarket sells the ingredients in.

Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start with this problem (I can code but don't have a CS background). I'm trying to start by finding out what domain it belongs to. Is it linear programming? Would machine learning be useful here?
> He was one of those people "I should get the absolute maximum I could ever get out of any situation."

The problem then seems to be coming across as greedy and/or difficult / demanding person. So he's creating a concern over his personality, which goes far beyond the mere act of negotiating.

I maintain that if you negotiate politely and realistically, no such personality concerns should be raised. If a company still responds to that by rescinding, then either they are unreasonable, or they were never too interested, both of which are reasons for you to decline - especially the latter.

> People do make judgments about another person based on factors like this.

Yes, exactly.

Also, I'm guessing since it was a junior position, your friend's "tough negotiation" got him a few more thousands of dollars at best.

Negotiating hard over such a small amount will earn you the disdain of a hiring manager, who will see it as pettiness and lack of vision concerning future career.

> Evaluate your particular recruitment situation (as a job seeker or as a recruiting manager) and act with judgement and common sense.

Definitely! Still, imho, most candidates err on the side of not negotiating enough, so articles like these are welcome.

Employers do have an advantage in negotiations: they know a lot more than the candidate (certainly junior candidate), and have people whose full-time job is to hire you on the best terms for them, while you are presumably an expert in something like writing software or designing electric circuits, not contract negotiations.

So I welcome articles like this, that should hopefully even the playing field a bit.

Maybe initially, but like any skill, practice makes perfect. Considering the distances traveled and loads carried (up to 6 people!), I would guess the average Chinese wheelbarrower learns rather quickly how to not drop goods/people. It would be interesting to know how often accidents happen with the Chinese vs the European versions though. My experience says that European/US wheelbarrows are just as, if not more easily tipped when fully loaded. I've seen it happen often enough and I've had it happen to me.

Regarding maximum load, the article states:

> In other words, when the load is 100 kg, the operator of a European wheelbarrow carries a load of 50 kg while the operator of a Chinese wheelbarrow carries nothing. He (or she) only has to push or pull, and steer.
Well, I'm not a Netflix user, but IMO a proper binge includes muscle memory for the shortcuts to exclude openings, endings, teasers and in previous episodes intros...

Thinking about autoplaying, unskippable ads/trailers/promos makes me giggle. I can't imagine paying users reacting well to this.

Our house used to have netflix. Then came the different tiers, like pay more and you can have 4k video or more then one person at a time streaming. I didn't like the change but I was still able to keep the lower tier and it was still convenient at that time.
Then we had a huge reorganization at work and though I didn't lose my job my hours were temporarily tanked and I was desperately running lower and lower on funds to the point where at one point I had $23 on my prepaid credit card. The same card had just expired and I was sent a new one with new numbers.
Well after a month netflix tries to take a payment and can't since it is a new card. Then start the emails about needing a payment or I will lose service. Shortly after they did cut service. I was all too stressed to even deal with them and just figured, oh well I will be back once things are better at work and I can afford it.
But before that could happen, I guess they can find out the new card numbers from the bank or whatever, so after cutting off my service for a month, while I am literally broke to the point I am unsure about future meals and $23 to my name a netflix payment came off my card. That was the last straw. I canceled immediately and will never go back.

> According to declassified U.S. documents I obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, the Carter administration gave prior approval to Chun to use the army to quell the wave of unrest that shook South Korea in the spring of 1980.

Without going into all the details of the situation: I sincerely believed my offer was very competitive for that candidate. It was a very substantial raise over his current comp, and the number I gave him was vetted by our recruiter as very competitive.

The difference also wasn't very large. As I said, had he told me about the other offer, I'd have offered him more, no problem. That's why I encourage candidates to negotiate in this situation. Just say "look, I really liked your offer, but I just got another offer for $X." Worst case, you'll get politely declined. If my impression of you was positive so far, I won't change my mind over this.
Many early employees end up with nothing even if they are given significant equity and they aren't screwed by VC or founders. Employees have 90 days to exercise their options when they quit and often it is better to not exercise because of the tax liability. If you know, for sure, there is going to be a liquidation event, then that is different. But that is rare.
Thank you for posting it here. I was having trouble finding it.
Move fast and break things, I think, is good advice. Why on Earth you would ship said broken thing, I don't know. But the whole point of moving fast and breaking things is to see where things get broken, so you have time to fix it before you ship it.

I've recently noticed a lot less enthusiasm for Netflix than I used to see. I suspect that they've run into the problem where it's possible to subtly degrade your product without immediate consequences. People stop being devoted to you, but that doesn't show up in numbers. It's a bit like a marriage where star eyed lovers learn to fall out of love with each other many years before the divorce. What caused the divorce? A long campaign of subtle harms.
Yes. In my view, the governments are simply unwilling to devise _actually_ meaningful way to remove bad actors from the roads (bad drivers, i.e. drivers that are reckless, drive too close to cars in front of them, use mobile phone too much, do dangerous maneuvers, etc.) , so they claim "speed kills". Which is like saying "life kills".

There are a myriad reasons why people have accidents, and "speed" is not one of those reasons. Driving faster than one's skill, and car capability, on a given type of road surface, in given air visibility conditions, with given traffic, pedestrians and other people around, buildings/architecture blocking vision, and other factors, not to mention the whole huge range of actual distrations for the drivers such as ads, using mobile phone, talking with passengers, being tired, etc. .. those things actually cause accidents (and near accidents). Speed in general is almost never the issue. High speed is also almost never the key issue. Where one driver has an accident at 60kph due to being distracted / ignoring safe distance (relative to all the conditions above), etc., another can safely and confidently drive 100kph.

If I remember right, in vgo v0.x is supported and breaking changes are allowed during that time, and v0 can be graduated to v1 without an import path change. So that seems to be in agreement with the semver spec.
Does it? On my computer it's a builtin (__builtin_frexp). But even if it did use type-punning, that doesn't make it legal for your program to do it. I don't believe there's any requirements on the C standard library to follow the standard themselves.

To answer the second part of your response, the correct way to do this yourself would be to memcpy the double and then inspect the result directly. Any compiler worth its salt will end up generating the assembly code you want (namely, no call to memcpy, just a couple of arithmetic shifts and masks).
I'm talking about senior level. Recently, as in the past year. Something has been going on in the senior level developer job market. I don't know maybe I'm an anomaly as I have many public projects, experience at top companies. But I haven't been able to find work. There has been at least two posts recently relating to this trend so maybe there is something.
Lots of folks here are very negative on what seems to be a clear-cut example of an A/B test. If Netflix sees improvement of their objectives, they will roll it out. Maybe they will even use predictive modeling based on your usage as to whether or not they show interstitial ads to you or not.

People do "fact checks" on if I am fair to them. Recruiters do call on a lot of our people often, and we do retain them.

People have reputations that spread in a company and among friends of employees. If I routinely exploited people with false promises, I will have to keep hiring new people to exploit and it becomes self-defeating.

A reputation for unfair dealing is toxic to morale too and morale is what dictates if people put in their best work or unwillingly put up with the job for a paycheck.
I think he was just nitpicking that GoodRX is available through more than a binary you have to install. I've used it through its website quite a bit. Its a wonderful service.
Netflix's response to poor quality of content is to remove user reviews and introduce unskippable ads. Looks like netflix jumped the shark. They used to be a cool place people wanted to work at, but looks like they love is leaving/gone. A shame! the alternatives aren't nearly as appealing.

> it thinks that power consumption of mining will fall over time as better technologies are used for miners

No, no, no! Why doesn't anybody ever mention the real reason why power consumption of mining will fall?

The amount of the block reward halves every couple of years and soon becomes negligible. This is guaranteed and inevitable. There will still be mining rewards, but they will all come from transaction fees, the amount of which is chosen by the people making the transactions. So the people using the system will be the ones paying for the electricity used, and obviously they aren't going to pay for all of the electricity in the world. The sky will not fall.
Eh, it's a good message but the dystopia is a little too over the top and reduces it's efficacy at making a statement.

Reminds me how people felt in the 70s with the wave of ideal tv shows where everything was clean, neat and nice. A lot of people liked shows such as Married with children because it was a show depicting flawed characters and families.
I have had "flagship" phones since 2007 or so, currently on a Note 8. I agree that some phones have acceptable resolution in optimal light for small prints, but basically everything else about the image is still bad: character of the out of focus areas (with -exceptionally- ugly results when using double camera setups to simulate a narrow depth of field), out-of-focus to in-focus transitions, noise structure, tonal smoothness, color reproduction, dynamic range, avoidance of the rolling shutter effect, ghosts, flares, coma... I could go on for a while.

Oh, right, the most important thing: almost everyone shoots portraits with smartphone cameras, which are too wide to give a flattering perspective (yes, even the 50mm equivalent "telephotos", which are also even worse cameras technically).

> Why would a company pay above market value for a new employee out of the goodness of their heart?

Several reasons:

1. They want to minimize the chance of the candidate declining. Every employer had a bunch of candidates go through the entire process (at the cost of multiple $k each) and then decline the offer, because you were a good boyscout and gave them their "market value" offer, exactly like all their other options, and slightly less than some. If I'm flush with cash, I may put a little extra on top of my offers, to ensure this doesn't happen, especially in a tight market where I'm competing against multiple other employers.

2. I want the employee to be motivated right off the bat, by knowing he's getting paid above market rate. One of the dangers with new employees nowadays is that they know they can easily get 3-4+ offers that pay the exact same (or a bit more) elsewhere. That causes lack of motivation, and some of them will quit if more disadvantages emerge. Paying above market ensures this won't happen.

I'm not sure I understand this article. I take a few drugs the cost of which is less than the co-pay and I pay that lesser amount when I pick up my prescription from a major US pharmacy chain. They have my health insurance info and would charge the co-pay if the amount were more. But they don't because the retail price is less.
salient point, spot on. However, iirc they were/are spending buttloads on creating new content. But the content itself isn't very good. Maybe too many data science experiments on what users will be receptive to.
They are only testing it. If it leads to cancellations or drop in viewing or not a successful project then they will yank it. And the guy who proposed it will likely get fired too. They are humans, sometimes stupid choices will be made, but their data should help correct its course eventually.
