The only job posted there says they want you to work in their office to start.

That is just a content problem, but I have mixed feelings about the site in general. As someone with medical problems that do impact my work, I love the idea of a site that has filtered the postings down to employers who will be supportive. But I don't see anything there that actually enforces that filter or proves that the employers understand the related issues. Also, the concept seems to be on shaky ground, legally, at least in the USA where employers are not privy to the medical status of their employees.
It’s legal to use other people’s insider information. It’s only when you’re the source directly or indirectly that it’s illegal.

>The Screen Actors' guild represents people who are as ambitious as, and far better paid than, the hottest tech superstars.

Are you just making up SAG claims throughout this page? Did you look to see what SAG members actually make?

Avg SAG member makes far less than a software developer. Tech superstars make well over an order of magnitude more than an avg SAG member. Tech superstars include unicorn founders, who again make more than an order of magnitude more than even the very top stars.

Here's one place listing how low SAG members generally are paid. You can find others if you like.

You are right that there is no "magical" effect in doing buybucks. The price stays the same. But it will go up from there as the company continues to make money. If the net income remains constant, the EPS will be ~10% higher. When the company accumulates again the cash that it just paid the price of the stock will be ~10% higher than before (at constant PE ratio).

In the case of dividends, the price goes down. If the company distributes 10% of its market-cap as dividends, the price will go down 10% (actually less because a 10% dividend represents less that that to the recipients after taxes). And as time goes by the price will recover. If the net income (and therefore the EPS) remains constant, the stock price will get back to the original price when they accumulate again the cash they just distributed (at constant PE ratio).

Still, my point was that the long-term effect of the capital allocation choice (which cannot be anticipated by the market until they know that it has been made, or at least that it is going to be made, but in any case the information is not being incorporated into prices at the precise time of the actual transactions) is not the same as the short-term market effect. The capital allocation is usually implemented through a market operation but it doesn't even have to be the case (they could get the shares in an off-market operation, a real example is company A buying another company B which has a stake in A, they can then eliminate those shares). And even if it is done in the market, the effect on the price would be the same if any other party (let's say the Saudi Arabia sovereign fund) decides to buy a large position in the stock.

If the buyback is a wise thing to do, you say, the price of the stock should be higher and the price is adjusted through the open-market repurchasing of shares. The problem is that if the buyback is not a wise thing to do, the market effect of the buyback is still to push prices up!
I'm not actually hoping people would suffer :)

I don't have statistics, but quite a lot of people are directly or indirectly affected by substance abuse, mental problems, illness, suecides, accidental or natural deaths or just plain bad luck.

Unless one lived alone in a padded room I find it unlikely one is not touched by a calamity or another within ones lifetime. But that's ok, just let grief do it's work, try to pick up the pieces and then carry on living.
Sure, you take the "recommended" (which is usually double the minimum) and at least double it to have a minimally running system and quadruple it too have it running decently, this is "standard Microsoft".
>By all indications, the War on Poverty has failed, given the poverty rate was declining far faster before its institution than during the 50 years since it began.

You might want to actually check your statistics before making proclamations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States#/...

The poverty rate dropped 50% from 1959 to the early 1970s, from almost 25% to around 12-13%, coinciding with the introduction of the modern welfare programs. It's held steady there ever since.
You're welcome.

It is supposed to be provocative as this particular route isn't used nearly enough, you can read indictments and see that.

There is a little bit of a shift, in one indictment the government was able to seize wallets and they were able to retrieve the addresses and amounts of Bitcoin, Zcash, but they could only make a footnote that they had a Monero wallet and didn't know the amounts or the addresses or senders of the recipients involved.

Monero is a public but opaque blockchain, and should be the default holdings for people, with occasional interaction with the rest of the crypto economy for conversion. It should always be a buffer between your national currency accounts and your crypto economy accounts.

It raises the bar for government investigations back to the level required to get information about your bank accounts.

With banks, the government needs subpoenas and warrants for multiple financial institutions to learn about what an investigated customer is doing.

With transparent blockchains, the government does not need a subpoena or warrant to analyze transactions and draw conclusions. They can just scan it like any other participant can.

With Monero, the government would need subpoenas and warrants for multiple exchanges to learn about what an investigated customer is doing. And if the customer follows best practices, there are limitations on the information that the exchanges would have, because one hop into the Monero network and the funds are not traceable. It is then easy for the customer to hop onto another blockchain. European Commission has proposed banning the RingCT technology used here, but that is a knee-jerk reaction as they have just gotten used to the transparency that non-opaque blockchains like Bitcoin offer for investigators.

General benign Monero use would be indiscriminate from money laundering, protecting everyone from financial sanctions and requiring law enforcement to do real investigations into whatever action they are actually trying to prevent, since they can no longer lazily leverage financial intermediaries.

I used to work at Flatbook. It was a chaotic time, but never ever a scam.
That's right.

But while there are a lot of domain where I don't accept the reasoning "someone else must have thought about this before", finding vulnerabilities is somewhere where I can't help but believe that every publicly disclosed vuln has probably been secretly exploited and sold for years.

(The only data point I have behind that is that there are nations level agencies pretty much dedicated to finding those, and they've gotten really good at this (cf Stuxnet !)).

So, while by conviction only, I highly doubt any independent white/gray hat vuln finder will ever be the first to find it, and I applaud any kind of disclosure.
For sure, credit where it's due. However IRC doesn't beat the ease of installation that Slack providers for bots.

Unfortunately the culture of Burning Man requires the excess resulting from thousands of people with the resources to over-prepare. Without this dynamic it's doubtful the event could exist with many of its core principals. There are people in our society that are stretched too thin to visit art museums, but this doesn't mean that art museums don't provide an immense benefit to the community as a whole.

> could be simply called "class differences"

Yeah, seriously. My family has been American for at least four generations. I can tell by looking in the mirror that I'm at least 95% European, but I have no idea from where - before about my great-grandparents, there isn't much genealogy to follow, and for the most part that's because most of my ancestors were trying to keep a low profile and avoid having any records that the police could follow. I'm doing OK for myself now, but I grew up at the end of a dead-end dirt road that was connected by another dirt road to the actual paved roads. There's poor everywhere.
The point is that nothing is certain, and you take educated risks with appropriate management.

I follow the pro scene too, nobody sensible would say they are not top 20, can you name a team that deserved to be in TI other than pain here from any region?

Really? Go ahead and name an EU team that is not playing in TI that should be here. EU is top heavy and they get to TI easily, other than that not much. SA is weaker region for sure, that's why they have 1 team from their region and they deserve to be there.
I am apparently ergonomically blessed in that despite running up to ultra marathon distances, I rarely get injured. Nothing unusual about my feet, average size 10 foot with a normal arch, average pronation. I’ve worn Birkies for thirty years without complaint.

And people will run ultras in/on anything. I would not be shocked to find out someone ran Western States 100 (miles) in a pair of Birkies.

You'd be surprised. There is a reason most people can tell, just from the lyrics, what songs a parody is based on.

Similarly, a novice butchering a song on guitar is likely completely wrong, but people will still recognize it if the general shape of the song is preserved. Heck, most novice guitars probably are not tuned properly.
MAPS.ME Releases Guides for Burning Man Visitors
MAPS.ME now offers two thematic guides for the Burning Man Festival, an annual gathering of fans of radical self-expression in Black Rock Desert (Nevada, USA). This year, the festival will take place August 26 — September 3.

The Art and Installations Guide The first guide is devoted to the most spectacular aspect of Burning Man, its art installations. This year's theme is "I, Robot," and the majority of the works will be devoted to artificial intelligence and robotics. 48 fascinating artworks are marked on the route. Among them is Baba Yaga's House, a house equipped with mechanical chicken legs, by the artist Jesse Sprocket from Nevada, and Galaxy, a huge metal construction in the form of a spiral galaxy, by London-based architect Arthur Mamou-Mani.

The Special Facilities Guide This guide enables visitors to quickly to locate the most important facilities of the festival. A total number of 107 locations are marked, including cafes, medical and information centers, and toilets. Special icons highlight the most important locations, thus helping visitors navigate their way through the huge festival site. A whole town, named Black Rock City, with squares and streets is created for the event.

Marked locations are accompanied by photos and descriptions in English. Guides work both online and offline. This is extremely useful, as internet connection at the festival is normally very poor due to its remote location. For offline use, guides must be downloaded in advance. Users can download the guides via app's menu or via the Bookmarks button at the bottom of the MAPS.ME app screen.

> The three leading causes of attributable deaths in this age group were tuberculosis (1·4% [95% UI 1·0–1·7] of total deaths), road injuries (1·2% [0·7–1·9]), and self-harm (1·1% [0·6–1·5]).

TBC is still an infectious disease and road injuries are preventable by simply not driving after having had a drink and self-harm is rather unlikely after a bottle of beer.

> and the level of consumption that minimises health loss is zero.

That is a triviality. Alcohol has no health benefits.

Also, I don't understand the presumption that independent stores are better on any of the dimensions that Amazon is bad. In my experience as a factory or call-centre worker, the smaller the business is the more likely it is that they will try to avoid tax on cash transactions, ask their workers to work unreasonable hours or accept average rates of pay that are less than minimum wage, violate health and safety laws, etc.
Tech support and linux support, call centres, etc, would make sense for unionization - but they're easily outsourced.

Perhaps I should've been clearer in my comment. If we're including call centers and first level support in "tech workers" then that changes things, just like including laborers in a steel mill as "steelworkers" would change things. Strictly from a software development/engineer perspective, unionization makes little sense right now.
I am not sure to understand, a successful company won't normally have a post-mortem.
It's not just about physical access to a building. There are many, many jobs that require certain physical abilities. You'll often see them listed on a US job application like this: "Must be able to lift 100 pounds unassisted." The wording is carefully chosen to indicate a job requirement rather than a personal health or wellness requirement.

Where is this not true? If you actually do the math for software engineers it simply doesn't add up. Most decent rust belt cities will be a severe drop in salary that it wouldn't be worth it. Some cities in Texas you'll break even.

If we're including low skill tech workers, then sure, their benefits won't compare. I was looking at it from a different PoV.
Typically only one component of a device will be security hardened (e.g. a security element such as STSAFE-A100) and it will be designed to protect against side-channel attacks. You won't be able to find any information about the measures and resiliency online though - you'd need to chat with vendors for that kind of info (even then, unlikely).

PCB assemblies are pretty impossible to secure in themselves so you have to confine security functions to a small portion of the system and work hard to make sure nothing leaks from there.
Yes, that's why the "platform economy" might need government intervention. A "single place" or "platform", is too detrimental to the economy to ignore as a construct. One reason is that the company behind the platform will now start regulating the market, which is arguably worse than the government regulating it.

Think about what you're doing. I am asking for specific ideas and numbers, and you're responding with homily. This is what I mean. You can't just critique and moralize without offering specific workable solutions. The system we have is not great. Who wouldn't want a world where everybody could just have more or less whatever they want, live extremely comfortably, and for it to all be completely sustainable? But that's also not realistic.

That's why I bring up the GDP and what it actually means. GDP is literally the market rate of every single good and service produced in this nation. And that only equals out to $50k per person. Our wealth really is in complete spite of our economy -- that's without even getting into the fact that the GDP is currently at record levels.

Various areas have tried now increasing the minimum wage to a level approaching $15 with results that have been, at best, 'mixed'. The point is that you cannot simply ignore economic realities when trying to create a better life for people. This is specifically why social economic systems have been tried numerous times, yet they seem to invariably result in literal starvation. They're well intentioned, but out of touch with reality - and the consequences for putting homily above reality tend to be a brief period of feel good, followed by devastation.

Or maybe USA has way more people or other factors that make it a harder problem.

Some homeless people can't be helped since they have mental illnesses and break away from hospitals (USA has 70 times more people and homeless people are concentrating themselves in population hubs - that could make the problem more visible), and so on.

Not exactly. It's a different kind of chemical comedown, similar to what's called "drop" in the bdsm world. People get so excited about finally doing what they love with people who accept them, and then the actual excitement of doing those things spins off lots of natural chemical highs. When they have to leave they're both depressed in general that they have to leave those things/people behind, and then also have a drop off of those natural "high" chemicals. It's common for people who leave non-drug-related conferences or weekend-long parties to be affected by it, for up to a week or more.
Was this the same company that used fluff concepts like light-fields and claimed conventional measures can not be used to characterize the display, and that it is impossible to have a good camera sync and film the display?

The display may be 1080p but I would love to see a measurement of the modulation transfer function of the display system... i.e. display vertically alternating bars, and horizontally alternating bars... then take a picture with a good camera
Saw something like this in Alaska in the late 90's driving south towards Glenallen on a youth hockey road trip. It was a localized spot of purple/blue Aurora. Came out of nowhere, the shapes looked like a cauldron of boiling water but in bright colors. Everyone in the van saw it.

Always figured it was an experiment from this remote HAARP research facility that fires radio waves at the ionosphere.

You have this same problem as non-chinese or as non-daughter (son).

10 is just the fastest. Because it is a meta-benchmark, this rating is not necessarily relative performance, it is based on the position in the ordering. The achieved average FPS is just a factor in that, used to make the distance bigger to indicate performance jumps.

Example, fictional values: The 8700K is the fastest, because it was most often seen as the benchmark leader. It gets a 10. The 8600K has almost the same FPS, but it was always a bit slower, it gets a 9.9. The i5-8500 comes next, but its average FPS scaled to the 0-10 scale is lower, it gets a 8.7. Then the i5-8400, always seen as slower than the 8500 in benchmarks, would at most be able to get a 8.6, no matter what the average FPS says (with enough benchmarks average FPS become an almost meaningless metric, it's the position in the benchmark that counts).

That's why it is not possible to calculate price/performance with this. I could only highlight good deals, processors that have a high position despite being cheaper than the processors below. Which is of course already baked into the logic of the recommender.
