For me, in this case, the specific arguments are exactly what matters. If your company claims a solid economic rationale they should provide one. I'm not sure how it's possible you've had this policy this long and can't come out swinging on this topic. Claiming fairness vaguely is not enough to gain goodwill. It's easy to assume greed and desire for control over employees in this remuneration policy, and I'm quite happy to make that argument if your company needs that feedback. You probably don't want people like me in your company, because I am annoying, but I do have a lot of diverse experience and an abiding concern for the health of my company and coworkers. If this policy doesn't reflect a deep level of antipathy about contributors (currently) high wages, and if the company would reverse this policy in considerance, people like me would be in the door tomorrow - thousands of us. You recently hired someone I love and deeply respect professionally, so I hope your company plans to take good care of them. They deserve it, and you do to. Everyone deserves it, especially if they can make it in the door in this new economy. I'm arguing for you too, you personally, if you can see that. End "brain-drain" in USA (and its associated economic spheres).

This cannot be stressed enough. At my day job I write reasonably secure software on a team for big clients, then at home I write reasonably secure software independently for small clients.

Come new security issue, the big clients at day job get first priority. Not because they are big and not because they are paying more, but rather because as a team we can reallocate resources and work on issues in parallel. At home, there is only one Dotan to work on each independent client in series.

> I would never want to be a politician.

For similar reasons I look at 'politician' as a real, honorable professional with its own set of professional skills. First, you need to understand any issue that might cross your desk. Then, amidst the insanity of the political environment, you need to maintain your own clear vision, maintain a nuanced, up-to-date feel for your constituency's opinions and for the forces in the halls of power, triangulate and anticipate all of it in order to judge what is possible, and then have the skills to lead/nudge/guide/push/negotiate all those forces simultaneously in order to execute what you think is possible.

The trend of hiring outsiders for the job is absurd, IMO. Few things impress me more than a skilled politician at work (i.e., one who uses their skills to accomplish things).
"Abrams did not actually go to jail for backdating stock options. What she pleaded guilty to in a criminal case[1] was listing a false exercise date for her options on her tax returns. That meant more of her profits got taxed as capital gains (at a lower rate), less as ordinary income. Lowering your marginal tax rate is a silly reason to risk jail, but that’s a separate question. In his post, Horowitz says, “Michelle ultimately served 3 1/2 months in jail for her part in [her old employer’s] stock option practice — the same practice that we nearly implemented at Opsware.” Well, sort of. Certainly the charges against Abrams were a consequence of the backdating investigation.

It’s safe to guess, though, that backdating company loans to executives (something else that happened at Abrams’ earlier company) and switching around exercise dates to cut his own taxes weren’t practices Horowitz was planning to implement. You don’t need a great general counsel to steer clear of this. Just following the instructions on TurboTax would probably do it."

If you take this idea a lot farther - imagine your entire application — frontend, backend, web-service, views — can run as a stored procedure inside the database, and thus load data so fast that it opens up new architectural possibilities beyond client/server. That sounds like crazyland for people from the postgres/rest mindset, but it starts to become possible when you have a simple and portable language that runs in many places. http://www.dustingetz.com/:stu-halloway-datomic-ions-in-seve...
Dropbox is a glorified FTP client, Slack is IRC with a nice skin and inline pictures, Spotify is bittorrent without the hassle of downloads (and more legal, but that hasn't stopped people). Convinience matters, and convinience sells. But it is only one of many factors that play into the decision to purchase. Dropbox for example wouldn't sell all that great without the free tier.

There are jobs where I would absolutely never disclose being on the spectrum. Typical corporate 9-5 stuff. But my current gig is as a technical director at an art museum, and my aspie super power is technical stuff (as it relates to this) like lighting and sound. I have disclosed being on the spectrum to many people at work, and they didn't bat an eyelid. It's super mellow and SO not corporate. It's great. A perfect fit, really.

A lot of is is me hiding in the booth, so I don't have to interact with people if I don't want to, but pre-show stuff ALWAYS requires me to interact with artists. Thankfully I can fake that part. Usually when I demonstrate competence at the task at hand they don't care about the rest.
> This is a metric I'm more interested in … What's the average case here?

The metric "my naive Rust" vs "my carefully implemented C" might be OK, once you figure out a consistent way to check code passes as "my naive Rust" or "my carefully implemented C".

Until then it's just an anecdote.

Might there be programmers whose "naive Rust" performs a lot worse than their "carefully implemented C"?

Might that be unsurprising to them and uninteresting as a blog post?
So, basically /r/ProRevenge level stuff? I can’t imagine how you could get away with any of that in a sane workplace.
If only something similar in the beginning of the century happened before to teach us a lesson..
Yes, of course it was.

Anything with a network port was plugged into the lan, which was plugged into the free router that came with the business broadband package.

Which was also the only firewall and it was still on factory defaults other than the wireless password.

As far as I can tell this is more or less standard business practice in the small to medium enterprise sector here, which is to say, the vast majority of specialist engineering companies in the UK.
Network effects really, that and name familiarity possibly?
There's a kind of a workaround. I rotate my logs with logrotate weekly, so the current week's logs are in access.log (and access.log.1) and past logs are in access.log.x.gz files. Then I run goaccess twice (once for .log and once .gz) to get both "all" and "latest" stats. It's not as flexible as a real filter, but it works for me.
Being able to jump back and forth between the design tools and code looks like a big andvantage for more complicated interactive components. Is that the main selling point? That you're able to compare and match visual design and code easier with this tool?
Others mentioned that Sharlene Abrams is "Michelle" here and posted links but this link seems to be better [1].

Interestingly, this case was about backdating _executive_ options _including her own_. I can't claim any knowledge of what PWC did or didn't approve of and some casual searching hasn't found any action taken by the DOJ or the SEC against auditors in relation to SV option backdating (please correct me if I'm wrong).

A quick search found that at one point option grants needed to be reported within 2 months but the SEC changed this to 2 business days and some companies and individuals were indicted because they failed to do so. Was this after this case or before? I'm not sure on the timing.

Whatever the case, this seems pretty wilful non-compliance (and, arguably, fraud) so I'm not surprised some went to jail. I'd also be surprised if anyone thought backdating anything that affected tax and legal obligations was legal, particularly a CFO.

As for anyone who thinks those who commit this kind of fraud shouldn't go to jail, I'd say jail is about the one thing the rich are afraid of. If you have $20m then a $3m fine might suck but it's not the end of your world. A year in jail in so much worse.

> Whenever there's doubt side with the customer but this was such an obvious error that any reasonable better would have realized it.

But, essentially every bet is exactly the bettor assessing that the odds represent an assessment of the likelihood of an event that is wrong; from the bettor’s position gross errors of the market (the other bettors whose actions are the input to odds-setting) that they should mercilessly exploit are indistinguishable from gross errors of the aggregation system which you suggest they should not.

Especially with a human-in-the-loop system for taking bets, the protection for the oddsmaker should be that their agent refuse to accept bets when there is such an “obvious(ly attributable to the odds-setting mechanism) error”.

I can see why Uber likes this (floating cash balances they can make money off of, reduced transaction fees, greater chance of successful payment), but I'm not sure why consumers should be interested, unless they find 5% (or 2-3%) to be a meaningful discount.

Edit: Maybe the "plan ahead" bit is a good clue. If you sequester this money into your Uber wallet early in the month, then you can be sure you have money to get around. You can take a ride and be sure the charge won't get rejected or cause insufficient funds in your bank account.

What? This was never the case. Especially china.

The internet was born from a Department of Defense project (ARPANET). The british, french, etc governments were also early internet players. Every major power understood the internet.

It's why china in the 90s/00s decided to create their own internet companies. It's why we have alibaba, baidu, tencent, etc. The same thing with russia. The same thing with south korea and japan.

Andersen was willing to certify pretty much anything these companies wanted to do as fully legal and above-board, because these were big clients and Andersen didn't want to lose them to some other accounting firm by inconveniently insisting that they keep honest books.

Sadly all of those decentralized / federated app all have this same accessibility issue.

Maybe there is some sort of business case, or at least some preliminary solution to get there, that offers a middle ground between "you're only the customer of our SaaS" and "you have to be your own IT department"? something like a standardized cloud-ready deployment, where instead of only d/l the server side app, the site also points you to the cloud providers that also support that app (or this standard) so that you're just 3 clicks away from running your own instance.

That'd be nice, not sure it would pay for the team developing that standard though.
An alternative solution is to buy enough of a policy or have a savings account to just cover funeral expenses and drop the life insurance extra payouts.

I upvoted your response as your ideas are very reasonable but as for me, I don't like e-mail for a number of reasons, both psychologically subjective and technical.

The first things the e-mail ecosystem is to do to become more adequate to the modern day world are to deprecate all the codepages but UTF-8 for any part of a message (header included), eliminate the overquoting tradition (including full text of the message the message is a response to) and introduce an efficient thread tracing mechanism instead, establish a more reasonable signature culture (i.e. people and software to stop including redundant and useless information in the bottom of every message) and make Markdown a core part of the standard (while HTML should better be deprecated).

I know a few people who practice this -- and as it becomes more common, tax regimes in the world will figure out a way to make it harder. Israel has apparently already addressed this:

If you are an Israeli citizen, and spend more than half the year outside Israel, you don't generally owe any taxes on income generated outside of Israel ... provided that you can prove you are a tax resident somewhere . If you can't, then you are assumed to be an Israeli tax resident. If most countries had such a law, you could still shop around for low rates, but it would make it harder to avoid taxes altogether.
TBF, the major alternative to scikit-learn, doing it in R, would have you doing model <- glm(formula, family=binomial(link=logit)); predict(model, type="response"). R also doesn't make bootstrapping intuitive (there are a number of fairly easy to use packages, but nothing that's as canned as you'd hope it would be).

Granted I still use R for ML stuff, and I concede that silently regularizing regressions, and only being able to avoid doing so by hacking the penalty parameter, is terrifying.

Seconded. I moved to Gitlab because of pricing issues, and initially it felt sluggish to the point where I considered moving back to Github or Bitbucket (although the latter felt slow too). This is no longer the case. Things still feel sluggish, but not egregiously so.
I'm speaking as a Chinese citizen who is totally in favor of this. Here's some perspective I can give:

"credit system" is far less established than countries like US, and private companies are generally much less trusted by the government and by the people (which is the opposite to the US). Some big private companies like Alibaba has started to create credit systems themselves, but the state owned banks and law enforcement would only use something backed by the government.

The "social credit system" it actually not that different from other credit systems excepted it is managed by government. It's really needed now given that there was a rising debt default problem -> Without a credit system, many people thought they can just delete the app where they borrowed money and get away with it. It became a crisis when a lot of this happened at the same time.

Surveillance is a separate topic. It's one of the technology advances that made law enforcement easier (like DNA samples are much more used nowadays in identifying criminals). There has been reports that criminals being captured with these new tools. It's something that western people fears a lot, so all the western reports focuses on the negative side of it and exaggerate it many times more.

We have not observed any effects on relational table performance. Basically, TimescaleDB code in on-path for each parsed query, but if the query does not specify a hypertable, we just let the query "fall through" to Postgres' standard query planning/execution.

But you do point out a very common use case and strength of TimescaleDB: you can easily JOIN your time-series data (hypertables) with existing relational tables.
Agreed- and some of the new mic modeling err microphones use this tech along with software models of classic/expensive/fragile/sought after microphones to varying degrees of success. For someone like me with a limited budget and a semi pro project studio it’s a pretty good trade off.

> if it had quiz showing me their method could get over 95% correct after reading a 10 or so word summary of the end result, I'd take it very seriously.

Often, amateurs find seemingly obvious answers to the wrong question. I once was reading Amazon user reviews of translations of Confucius' Analects. For one translation, a few reviewers observed that the translator went bizarrely off-topic in the footnotes, giving his opinions on various things Confucian and contemporary. I ruled out that translation. Then I read a Chinese scholar's review of translations, and learned that such commentary was in fact the standard of the leading editions of the Analects going back millennia. The Amazon users - as amateurs often do - had no idea what they were seeing, and if I hadn't found the scholar's review, I would have believed them too (and missed out what that incredible work translation - a widely recognized work of art and genius - had to offer me from Confucius). That's the last time I trusted Amazon reviews. Similarly, you can find plenty of well-reasoned, persuasive, and totally wrong legal and medical advice online (including on HN).

How can one avoid falling into the same trap as I did with the Amazon reviews? Don't trust amateurs, no matter how persuasive they seem, in questions that require expertise.
Disclaimer: in no way I am an expert in physics. I don't event have any degree in it.

Plainly speaking, this argument does not make sense, because there's no such thing as simultaneity.

The way I see it, the commuting argument tells what you, an observer to the entire system, can or can not see at some fixed point in spacetime, that is casually descended from the points where observations occur.

Anyway, the whole discussion about validity of interpretations does not make any sense to me, as long as they represent the same underlying math.
That's why we are talking about cheap small mini-fabs instead of just placing the order to any Chinese fab.
