Note that GitLab _does_ adjust compensation when relocating: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/global-c... + https://about.gitlab.com/job-families/move/

That means that as someone working at GitLab, my current wage is competitive compared to local companies, + I get all of the perks of remote work, working on open source, developer tooling, etc, and all of this will still be the case if I were to move elsewhere.

The exact amount of money deposited into my account each month would go up or down, but my lifestyle would stay roughly the same.

I know I’d make a lot more money if I lived in, say, the Bay Area, and if I made that same amount of money pretty much anywhere else I could live like a king, but I honestly don’t care. I quite like my decidedly not-king-like life today, and I love that with GitLab, I can have this same life and job wherever I choose to live.

I’m currently living in the Netherlands, but am planning to move to Mexico in a few years to be closer to my fiancée’s family. If all goes well, GitLab will travel there with us, and while my compensation will see a decrease, our life style won’t.

GitLab’s compensation philosophy is one of competing with the local market, instead of putting a fixed price on the value I or anyone else provides to the company, and that’s totally fine by me. If it wasn’t for GitLab, I’d probably be working at one of those local companies, so aren’t I still better off? For the company, it means that it/we can hire great people wherever they may be on earth, without being limited to the subset of great people who also happen to or want to live in the specific city the company happens to be based in.

This may come as a surprise to some, but there are some amazing engineers out there who have zero interest in living in the Bay Area, and who don’t particularly care about maximizing their yearly take home pay, as long as they make enough money to provide for themselves and their family, and can live in whatever city or country or continent that they prefer. The map on our team page is a testament to that: https://about.gitlab.com/team/ (mobile-friendly: https://gitlab-com.gitlab.io/teampage-map/)

FWIW, I know of colleagues who have moved to locations with both lower and higher cost of living compared to the location they were hired in, and I’ve never heard about requests to move being rejected.

Sloc Cloc and Code Revisited – Optimizing an Already Fast Go Application
You are only getting the story as presented by the CEO, so I assume I am not getting the entire picture.
Quantum computers are intrinsically stochastic machines. Quantum algorithms are about hedging the bets so that you get the "correct" answer at some p>0.5. Then you just repeat the computation until you're reasonably sure you have the right answer. In the Copenhagen interpretation the wavefunction magically "collapses" to one outcome, in Everett interpretation the wavefunction decoheres producing both outcomes in separate "worlds".

"The Linux kernel community is a place without office politics, without subtle subtexts, without primate dominance dynamics."

There's nothing subtle about the Linux kernel community, but the rest seriously makes me wonder how this could be meant sincerely. Yes, I did read the bit at the end about "irony" (which isn't irony) and "progressive" terminology (which has been mainstream for a couple of decades). To the extent that the email perpetuates stereotypes of people with Asperger's, and shows a very one-sided view of how a more comprehensive code of conduct might affect them (hint: it protects as well as restricts), it seems very unhelpful to that cause.

[EDIT] Considering that the author's other writings reveal a very anti-progressive agenda (e.g. pro-Trump, pro-Brexit, libertarian) I suspect this is more a deliberate act of obstruction than a genuine expression of concern.

how about paying x * amount of tax evaded, where x > 1 and the penalty is uncapped? if a significant fraction of tax evasion lead to convictions, it wouldn't be good business to try.

the obvious issue is that we don't see a high conviction rate for tax evasion, but this is an issue regardless of whether the penalty is jail or a fine. no matter how severe the penalty is for a crime, people seem to do it anyway if there is a strong incentive and they don't believe they will be the unlucky individual. sooner or later everyone is doing it, just to keep up, and the only people who actually get hit with the hammer are the lowest-hanging fruit (often small fish) or those who get singled out for political reasons.
The purpose of a pricing strategy is to maximize the capture of value from a given market. Auction pricing works when:

1) It is a single event-based POS

2) Every member of audience has the same level of knowledge of what is being sold

For a symphony, the audience is smaller and more homogeneous than a pop-star concert. Symphony attendees are typically repeat buyers, who share similar knowledge of what they're seeing, and will know well in advance if they are going to attend.

Pop-star audience goers will make the decision to buy and will need to confirm purchase at different time points before the event. They also have varying degrees of knowledge as to how much the ticket price really should be, meaning they are not going to be good at bidding and won't fully participate.
There’s a lot to unpack in a relatively short blog post, but my primary takeaways are as follows.

First, this guy has a weirdly “romanticized” view of how things have been until now. I’m not sure if this can be chalked up to his particular experiences, his perceptions, or nostalgia. Whatever the case, it seems to fly in the face of reality.

Second, I’m not seeing what is actually making him feel threatened, or uncomfortable. I’m not clear that his concerns, or maybe complaints, rise to the level of either threat or discomfort. The former just seems absent, and the latter is entirely anticipated rather than realized.

Third, and to be blunt in a way that he claims to appreciate, his clinically significant social deficits are not and should not be the basis for how a major project is run. I’m sorry that he’s anticipating having a hard time, but the solution doesn’t seem to be “just leave everything the way he likes.” I’m sorry that his autism makes social interaction challenging, and I can’t claim to have any good advice in that regard. Complaining about a truly unremarkable code of conduct though, because it represents the “intrusion” of basic social norms into his world is not a sympathetic argument, if anything, his whole blog post seems like an argument for the necessity of such codes, when dealing with people who are so divorced from the reality everyone else is experiencing.

I mean, Linux, a community of gracefully accepted constructive criticism? Whaaaaat?!
I'm reminded of an anecdote I heard once: When interviewing an accountant, the founder showed the accountant some financial and asked the accountant "What story do these numbers tell?" to which the accountant replied "What story do you want them to tell?"
> Maybe, if one doesn't take the Bible literally, but as a metaphor? But then again, for thousands of years the Church said we should interpret it literally.

No, the canon wasn't even set thousands of years ago (so there wasn't a single accepted Bible to take literally or metaphorically), and Biblical literalism as a doctrine is a minority doctrine in Christianity that is only a few hundred years old, originating within Protestantism, and mostly became a big deal with the explosion of fundamentalism in the US even more recently than that.

The Catholic Church didn't even think laypeople should read the Bible until fairly recently, one of the main concerns being the danger of naive interpretation, which simple literalism would surely qualify as.

I guarantee that almost any device you ever use in your day to day life has network-facing C code, if it has a network connection at all. What language do you think router/switch firmware is written in?

Maybe you are joking, but there are several companies trying this, like https://zenus-biometrics.com/
The enforcement of those code review workflows is set up on a per-repository basis. So e.g. if you get access to <someorg>/repo you need to go through that, but not in <yourfork>/repo.

I guess in some sense you could say it's a focus on organizations, but on the other hand it's a glaring omission of a feature that you could have implemented with a pre-receive hook years before either GitLab or GitHub had it, so it would be strange if they didn't add it.
The point is that there's nothing particularly special about belief in God (whatever that might mean). We literally know nothing about almost everything. All believing, all knowledge, is a clash with reality. See for example the Allegory of the Cave, Descartes, etc.
I'm a big fan of the system that the sneaker companies have slowly adopted. Interested people sign up ahead of time with a registered account. You get a notification right before the release that you have to confirm. Then a raffle takes places where the winner gets charged immediately. It's about a ten mInute investment, which with how sneaker quality has gone down in recent years (especially Nike) is about all the time it is worth it to me anymore.

Only issue I can see is that with sneakers there is almost no reason to get more than one pair unless you're reselling. Buying multiple tickets for a concert makes more sense. There could possibly be some increasing fee charged over a certain number, that could suck profit away from scalpers. The fee only occurs if the tickets are all presold.

Keeping order in the General Assembly: The strange saga of a Viking gavel
I do security consulting and that very situation is common. I know several BigCorps that specifically turned off Splunk alerts because it was too noisy. Some of them had valid reasoning for it, other didn't.

There's also no guarantee that if they did have the Splunk alerts enabled, that they would have caught anything. In one instance I can think of, having Splunk alerts enabled did more harm than good because it meant SOC staff were busy chasing down hundreds of false alerts (aka the "noise" in "too noisy") and missed real threats. With the alerts off, the staff could use other more reliable sources of threat notifications and catch more of the real threats.

Unless you have a big enough staff, or have Splunk (and your monitoring team) tuned well enough to actually effectively sort through the alerts, they truly well can just be "too noisy".

It's possible to have universal prediction for some definition of universal and prediction.

The problem is that any universe one starts predicting could look an indefinitely nested set of conditional distributions.

So your system could be going along learning and predicting when suddenly things changed and it would have to start all over. It would have some mechanism for pivoting at that point but of course that would less than perfect. So there are inherent limits if you talk arbitrary universe.

Medicine and life sciences adopted bad statistics. Every single paper claims something along the lines of "what we observed is so incredibly unlikely (<5%) assuming complete randomness, it must mean our theory is true, our new drug works, the bad pollutant causes cancer, etc." Papers that should claim "what we observed is completely ordinary and there is nothing to see here" never get published.

Even if this was done correctly (it isn't, as John Ioannidis keeps pointing out), you'd get lots of false positive results (Ioannides again). The moment you look at a collection of statistics, the only available conclusion is "They all contradict each other!!1"

Until they ask physicists for help, medicine, life sciences, and many other fields will not be evidence based. We can call them "argument based", but that's not the same...
In the UK TicketMaster own many venues. They even own the companies that run the concerts too.

For example in Scotland the main company that runs all the 'big' events is DF Concerts & Events who are owned by LiveNation who themselves are partially owned by TicketMaster. They also host festivals like 'T(ennents) in The Park' and 'TRNSMT' and own their own venues like 'King Tuts Wah Wah Hut'.

LiveNation also own many venues around the country.

Basically you're stuck with them.

I find it's relatively easy to get tickets though. Presales (through Spotify, DF concerts themselves ('gigsinscotland.com' and Spanish/Telefonica owned telecom company O2) or just being fast on the website is normally good enough.

There are other companies in the UK that run ticketing sales too. SeeTickets is quite big and the Ticketmaster owned TicketWeb. Both give better chances of getting tickets.

antidepressant. I know it's a bit controversial but... at some point your nervous system is not working properly, and there is no way you can heal if your nervous system continues to overheat. Antidepressant allowed me to calm it down, regulate it, to be able to sleep again, and start the (needed) psychological work with a therapist. Both have to go together. It can take months or years. But you'll fight it ultimately, trust me.

Two things about this. First, the blog is also available at https://leotindall.com/ where it is just a regular website. I think it's _really_ interesting that the first thing that comes to mind is Medium and not, you know... a regular website.

Second, public IPFS gateways aren't the intended way to use the network. It's meant to be built into browser software, so each user acts as a mirror of what they're currently reading. Latency is high because the gateway is run by a nonprofit and they don't pay for ultrafast hardware for the public gateway.

> At the end of the day, isn't salaried work often NET 30 or NET 15? I've never heard of being paid more often than bi-weekly.

Although being paid in arrears (up to 7? days in California, IIRC) is legal, it's uncommon. Otherwise, on payday, the worker is paid for that day, as well as the preceding 13-14. On average, that means only 7.5 days are "on credit".

More importantly, though, it can't be compared to a contractual debt, since payroll is much more heavily regulated by the state. In California, for example, the penalty, even for being late, can be disproportionately severe, and the state has resources to pursue them (plus, PAGA[1] provides an incentive for private pursuit of those penalties otherwise only payable to the state).

This difference is an example of why "gig economy" (the article mentions at least Uber, for example) classification of workers as contractors can be such an important issue.

Newspapers, magazines, and TV stations are single products with known editors and known biases, and no one assumes otherwise.

Facebook is an essential service and "the internet" for most people, who assume it's a common carrier of sorts - and Facebook has done very little to dissuade anyone of that perception.

how to convert this to real money:

STEP 1) Be large shareholder on the board, advisory or executive team, but not necessarily a founder.

STEP 2) Call broker and tell them to turn off the borrow. This is the right way to squeeze the shorts, funding secured.

STEP 3) Do a private placement at the new high price. This results in dilution or is sold from the company treasury in exchange for US dollars. Its a secondary offering at the "market price".

"We’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”
