You went to a lot of effort to write a lot of things while explicitly avoiding actually answering any of my questions. This leads me to think that a simple "no" would have sufficed.

It's possible to treat people well enough that you can retain them while still not keeping promises and paying below market. There's a balance, and you can do a lot of "exploiting" before its enough of a nuisance to want to leave, and many fair things are also exploitative.

For example: refusing to hire someone because they attempted to negotiate a better offer for themselves is perfectly fair, but it also appears to be exploitative. It also becomes much easier to keep your promises when those promises are not explicit.

If no one asks for true-ups, you never need to promise them. But by not paying them, you are being exploitative. It's no different than contract-to-hire positions that exploitatively underpay people for months or years before bringing them on as full-time employees (or not doing so, for any of a variety of reasons).

EDIT: To add, since elsewhere, you explicitly mention that you undervalue new hires, the fact that you don't true-up candidates for overperformance of your (lowered) expectations is telling. Again, why would I, as a candidate, want to engage in a long term relationship with someone who doesn't put enough faith in me to pay what I'm worth, but who wants me to trust them that they'll eventually pay me what I'm worth? And who won't at least promise to make me whole during the vetting process? That to me implies two things:

1. They want me to trust them immediately, but don't want to trust me in return.

2. They won't fully compensate me for the work I'm doing.

Neither of those things make me want to trust you or form a long term relationship. If you want such a relationship, the trust goes both ways. You don't get to say "trust me that I'll eventually pay you what you're worth, but in the meantime I'll pay you less until things are verified." That's not a relationship. Its exploitation of a power imbalance.
The PRC is younger than the ROC. The PRC, the government, have always considered Taiwan part of China. It’s in their constitution I believe.
I’m fortunate to have a mom and pop appliance store near me. They’ve been in the business for 45 years. I tell them the features I care about and the price range, they tell me the best unit. So far all their recommendations have been spot on. Plus they generally beat the big box store pricing by about 5% and offer free delivery schedule when convenient for me.

I’d suggest looking for a mom and pop store.
I don't really call it luck anymore. It's a lot easier to get clients than a full time job. You just have to invest in leads and it pays off about 2-3 years later.

I find it a lot of fun, something like hunting or foraging. There's no guarantee of putting food on the table, and yet you go out there and it's out there. There's also a kind of primal thrill in it, as opposed to full time jobs.
Yes.

Can not really tell what I am working on, but so far I am more or less happy with it.

It is not as simple as advertised though ("just use async/await"). In order to write stable, performant applications you have to understand more or less the underlying mechanisms of asyncio (what are tasks/futures, how does their lifecycle work). Then there are quite a few things which work not as expected and you have to understand them as well (e.g. exception handling). If you get into the nitty-gritty details you will have a good experience with asyncio. If you don't you better stay away from it or you will have a hard time.

Performance wise it seems pretty good so far btw.. Did not really hit its limit yet though.
Hearing "Mind your step" all the time won't help with this. I was at Amsterdam airport and hearing this hundreds of times drove me crazy while at the same time wondering what it means. They should put up signs at the end of each walkway so you get a warning in context. Hearing "Mind your step" while sitting at the gate doesn't help.
I have routinely had to pay the $20 minimum for generics that cost $5 retail. So I paid $15 over retail for using my health insurance.
I have had this happen twice to me ever, one being a startup that went on to fail, and the other being Amazon. I now work at a different FAANG.

Amazon balked at me asking for $250k minimum total compensation for a position in San Francisco and decided to ghost me when we were in the process of scheduling an onsite interview & do preliminary negotiation in parallel.

Unfortunately for them, they lost a potential top engineer who probably will never accept an offer with them ever again as a result.
Nothing crucial should be directly accessible from the Internet.
In Newport, Washington, electricity is so inexpensive ($0.05/kWh) that almost everyone uses electric baseboard heat - and it gets very cold (10 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter. Those baseboard heaters could be swapped out with bitcoin miners with NO change in power consumption, and there are plenty of other places around the world with similar conditions.
Well...we hire in Boston or remote, so. ;)

Fairness is a good value to build a relationship of trust.

I worked with an engineer with this mindset of, "the company is out to get me" at an early stage startup. They left after a few years and started their own company. They couldn't recruit and grow. I turned down their offer because I didn't trust them. I didn't trust them because I was well aware of their distrustful mindset when working in a small group setting.

I had a different mindset during the early stages of the startup, one closer to a model of trust with the company on compensation, quality, and level of effort. I also left to start my own company and I've had no trouble attracting people, both employees and sub-contractors.

There is some merit to an adversarial mindset but it's a liability in the early stages of a company and it leaves a lasting impression on your reputation.
I once worked at a company with no product management experience. Because of this they hired a string of toxic Steve Jobs wannabees because they simply didn't know what they didn't know.

They lacked experience in many areas. Ironically they ended up firing their only experienced executive (CTO). It's too bad, they had passionate engineers who could have built some amazing things (as evidenced imo by the amazing things they later built for Netflix/Google/Facebook/Amazon/etc) but they were stuck at a company that sort of wanted to be a tech company but didn't want any of those annoying "IT people" involved in decisions.
There’re many reasons why anchoring might be forbidden or not recommended in some areas.

Great question, and I'm not the one you asked, but here's my two cents anyway :-)

I would likely do what you did and say hell no (tho this may lead them to believe I was actually lying, even tho I'd be clear that I felt it was an invasion of my privacy). If I really wanted the job for some reason (maybe I'm desperate, or their tech really is that 1337), and felt like they were asking in good faith (didn't want to be conned, especially if their market data would say I was already statistically way on the high end), I might counter by offering a previous paystub or something (w2 doesn't often tell the whole story, and can also give them more info than they need. Yes I'm paranoid).

If I had lied tho? Well I might just cut my losses, knowing that it would be interpreted as me being guilty, but then again I would be guilty. I do wonder tho if somebody would resort to GIMPing their w2 or paystub to fudge the numbers? IDK. I couldn't do it without feeling like a horrible person, but I'm unusual.
Product advertising has been happening for years, even in their flagship House of Cards series: http://adage.com/article/media/netflix-s-house-cards-tout-an... . But we use the euphemism "product placement" to obscure the fact that it is really advertising.
That’s a rather large and unproven if.

If nothing else more complex transactions have higher costs due to the complexity. So, the benifit would need to be rather large and easy to measure to offset this. Until that data shows up it’s rather pointless to argue about.

PS: Also, the effort/tine investment to collect prescriptions is already a modest fee.
The thing with Netflix is that it can disappear as quickly as it arrived. Given their lack of a large catalogue of movies, the only thing keeping subscribers is a stream of new interesting shows. I don’t think people will keep a subscription just to watch old House of Cards episodes. There is zero lockin. So if they indeed start deteriorating the user experience, they should see the p&l impact immediately.
The moment I see this I will stop paying them.
It’s called the BZZR metadata and it’s supposedly potentially useful for something.
Can someone explain how these "financial partners" pin point and single out a site like BitCute

The whole point of stripe/paypal (i assume) is that the credit card company does not know about individual businesses using stripe ?

Do they have a team of people looking for weird sites which use a 3rd party and demand removal ?
Haha, one startup I joined died for this reason too. The main investor had second thoughts and decided not to invest when they agreed to earlier.
Well, you have a system-provided GOPATH, in GOROOT (on my system, the stdlib source is in /usr/lib/go/src). But you just surprised me: I never knew that GOPATH is a list.
My thinking is this is strongly influenced by the polder landscape. Polders are how the Dutch reclaimed so much land from areas that should be under water.

So, it is basically a lake bed that was drained and then stuff built on it. This means it lacks a lot of the usual natural baffles of irregular ground and various types of plant growth.

They are basically creating baffles on, apparently, previously essentially flat terrain with little to no natural baffles.

I'm thinking given that context, it wouldn't take much to make a dramatic difference.
Perhaps they could go with a Humble Bundle style "pay what you want" model :) I would happily pay more.
This is an embarrassing comment. You were wise to use a throwaway. Not a single talented engineer would ever knowingly work for someone who thought expecting and negotiating for fair market compensation is an attitude problem.
Thank you. Explains why I like the name so much!

Are you discounting that technical debt is a thing/matters?

What gets delivered isn't just a set of features, it's a piece of software, which implements those features, but might have a whole bunch of baggage attached which can make it really hard (or easy) to change those features or add new features in the future, or to allow the software to adapt to changing external conditions.

I don't think this is specific to software. E.g., I'd imagine it'd be possible to build a building a lot faster if you didn't need to worry about it not collapsing in five years.

---

Though to be fair, the mere presence of technical debt on its own is not a problem; there is some amount of technical debt that's appropriate, and it's hard to know exactly where that is. You certainly can't get by just ignoring it completely.
No hostility intended. Trump literally doesn't care if someone likes it or not. He promised it, it's happening, end of story.
Thanks, I had come across this but didn't want to go too deep until I was confident it was the right way to frame the problem.
Poor guys; that's really all I can say now.
The tides are turning on Netflix. People just don’t love the product anymore. I wonder if they’re pivoting for a sale to Disney or they’re just starting to be too big for their own good.

Either way. I wonder what will replace it.
Tbh I'm never not working these days, but to get specific I'm in the office (or traveling) for my day job Monday~Fridat from about 7~7. My work with Cent is done in my free waking hours 7 days a week, but it's kind of unfair to call that work since it doesn't feel like it.

This may seem like a lot (at least it kind of felt like a lot as I was writing it), but I am well rested, excercise every evening with my wife, read a lot, meet friends, blog daily, feel like I can do more and am just having a great time being alive.
That's some very good practical gear. My inner snob would say that the 50/1.4 is no Summicron, that I would rather use a 135/2 Apo-Sonnar than the (actually not cheaper) 70-200 and that retrofocus wide angles meant to work well with digital sensors are inferior in the more rarefied markers of image quality to non-telecentric designs like the biogons, hologons and super-angulons of old. This doesn't matter, you probably know that you cannot obtain the same results from a smartphone camera (which doesn't mean that one cannot take an artistically valid picture with a phone, it's just going to be technically inferior).

We're not talking about bad photographers here, we're talking about someone that knows what he's doing trying to use a smartphone camera seriously. All the skill and knowledge can't do much against rolling shutter or banding in gradients that should be smooth, etc.
I think the city could have done a better job taxing the large tech companies and spending the money on supporting the displaced residents and building more public services.

Taxes would help slow their expansion and in turn the increasing rent. Unfortunately the city has been toothless in this regard for fear of loosing some of the businesses that are causing many of the problems. IMO the threat of of them actually leaving is low given the whole echosytem set up here to support them but they would likely grow a little slower which would actually be for the good of the city.
Another angle to look at this through is that they hired a team in spite of only having business, non-technical minded people. It all worked out in the end when they added consulting to clear up production issues near launch. From a business perspective this is surely a win in all ways, even if not as efficient as it could be. Not every business is a Google.
I think of it in different frameworks personally - than enjoyment - novelty exposure and exploration vs sticking with comfortable and familiar - peripheral to how one receives it (although attitude would influence what and how much is learned).

Theoretically appreciative enjoyment could be empathic in a "rags to riches" sense but that could arguably be making the bitterness more palatable while undermining fundamental aspects say the sense of helplessness - even if it shows both ends and cycle of grudges and oppression. I guess it is like Shakespearean "write to please both the groundlings and the noble patrons" - hard to do, let alone properly but if done right offers the potential to create masterpieces.

Anyway I can see some point to the arguement personally even if I would phrase it radically differently - and it may not be entirely what you wanted.

Linode is a very cheap provider of a mass market product. The bulk of their customers should be cheap customers who either don't know or don't care. Possibly both and with a high turnover.

Well, they'll likely increase prices again for a "no ad" experience.
Another way to find A (which is only another form of differentiation) is not to evaluate, that is reduce mod (x-a), like for B and C, but to reduce mod the higher-order term, (x+2)^2. The C term drops out immediately and (x-1)(x+2) = (x+2 - 3)(x+2) = -3(x+2) so we get

7x + 2 = -3A(x+2) + B(x-1) => (evaluate at x=1) => 9 = -9A

Never underestimate what a data scientist can make you "know" about your customers.
I totally agree, but when I was a junior dev in SLC in the mid-2000s, it was unheard of to find a place that didn't base your offered salary directly on your current salary. They didn't care if you were underpaid and more valuable than what you were making. It was all about that big corporate HR and their rules for determining appropriate pay. It's how "engineers" that hadn't coded in 20 years and offered no value, but had been with the company for 30 years, could pull down 150k a year while I was making 60k. It's all about seniority.

Of course you could bypass that by working at a startup, but as a junior dev those jobs were very hard to get. They always wanted a senior engineer. Also, they could make the problem worse since salaries were lower due to stock incentives (which corporate HR rarely counted since their value was ambiguous).
Well, he could have not cozied up to dictators and avoided the whole issue.
Not very good advice. Pharmacies can deny paper prescriptions at their discretion. And most people know where they’re picking up scripts ahead if time.

For example, the pharmacist at a CVS decided not to refill my Vyvanse (amphetamine) paper script because I was paying in cash (+ using paper script). Treated me like a criminal. Digital scripts avoid this unpleasant scenario.

The pharmacy system itself needs reform. It’s idiotic that your doctor can write you a prescription that gets denied by someone who puts pills into a bottle. An anti-abuse system that treats everyone like criminals needs a better solution.
It's a common theme in dystopian stories that in times of crisis people quickly use up the resources they will need for survival when things get better. I guess they should be viewed as heroes.
The auto play and gutted recommendation engine pushed me to the brink, but this? If they roll this out, I’m gone and never looking back. To be honest piracy is looking better every day, between splintering services, weak catalogues, shitty practices and nickel & diming. I’m not getting suckered into the cable bundle model again, and maybe it’s time to remind these media “giants” that the only reason most people don’t pirate is convenience.
It had a military advantage. It doesn’t anymore.[0] Taiwan has not been sold modern equipment, while China has increased military spending and operational capability.

Being an island, Taiwan always had to rely on holding off an invading force for as long as possible. This historically meant until the US Navy could reinforce its defenses. Now with China’s anti access area denial strategy, this is becoming a less certain strategy.[1]

This article is full of cliches and contains no actual technical information on AV1
I find it's a mix of both. Most people don't have the luxury to learn for a year. They usually have learn on a job. My first two years of working was doing underpaid grunt work, but it was in the direction I wanted to go. Even though it paid poorly, it got me there.

Another risk with learning on your own is that it's still mostly unguided. Because you're not being paid, you can often go down an idealistic path that doesn't work in the real world.

Also even if you do have a year, be careful. It could take a few months to get a job, as the interviewing can be tough.
We don't know that A/(x - 1) = B/(x - 1) -- that's what we're trying to make true! We start by making A equal to B, then using that to show that A/(x - 1) = B/(x - 1). The process goes backwards from how it's written on the page.

For example, say we have functions f_a(t, x) which are equal to x for t > a and 0 for t <= a. To make f_1(x, 10) / (x - 1) = f_1(x, y) / (x - 1), we can solve for f_1(x, 10) = f(x, y) — y = 10 — then divide on both sides, despite the function being discontinuous at x = 1.

Engineers are typically intelligent, but most of them know very little about negotiation, especially straight out of college - which is a huge percentage of new hires every year.

You may have graduated from MIT and done hard psets for 4 years, but the most you ever negotiated was that $50 desk you bought on Craigslist.

> the only way you fall for it is if you have serious self-esteem or assertiveness issues.

Which young engineers, being often introverted and nerdy, do tend to have...

Recruiters are basically sales people, so they're on the other end of the extroverted scale: extremely assertive, used to interact with, read, and manipulate others. Is it any wonder they try to push engineers around?
Did it result in a good job? It sounds like you're searching in the bad places, where a lot of reputable employers and job searchers avoid.

Something like Stack Overflow jobs works a little better because people are more willing to flag deceptive job ads.
