They may see themselves changing jobs for higher pay, but what happens if companies are holding tight on salaries?

I've been in the market for almost a year now and have had offers, but nothing higher than what I'm currently making. So I stay put.

Where is this magic expectation that job offers instantly come with a salary bump? That may have been true before, but at full employment the indicators have all gone weird.

Sure, but I still don't see why we should be hysterically scared about its development since I think photoshopped images would have made the same damage a long time ago if the system was really that fragile. The fact that photoshopped images aren't nearly as big a threat as what we're expecting deepfakes to be makes me think that however the set of amplifiers and filters are configured (and I'll admit that I don't have a full understanding of it all), it's likely that they're sufficient to not make society collapse once the technology has matured.

Photoshopped images are a sort of "trial balloon" which has already proven that the system is pretty dang robust, that's my thesis.
I used to think of Mercury as a rather uninteresting hot clump of rock. It turns out Mercury is not really uniformly that hot at all. And it has water ice at the poles. And not only water, but there are organic compounds too in the polar shadows!

In the UK, as far as I know of those only marriage records is open. Police records can be obtained by your employer, but even then most minor (sentence less than 4 years) offenses are eventually considered spent and not disclosed to most roles. The electoral role (addresses) is open by default, but you can opt-out (though can still be used for certain narrow purposes), and as far as I know there is no way to check if someone voted (I've never heard of it happening, and searching doesn't give any information about it)
What time are you talking about? In the 40s they had concentration camps inside the US for japanese people. In the 50s they experimented on some towns/US citizens with different diseases, and in the 70s and 80s they created coups all over South and Central America against democratic governments.

I think this can also depend a lot on whom you hire. If you make that a screening criterion, it’s not all that difficult to assemble an engineering team entirely of people who understand business goals, can communicate with non-technical types, and recognize the value of other fields and departments.
Something’s different about this. Journalists get killed by rogue government elements in Mexico, Russia, probably even Turkey itself, but you don’t see the same reaction. What gives?
Not only that, but you can situationally decide which kind of binding you want, which is sometimes pretty useful.
Automation yes, productivity is not necessarily improving, wages (in purchasing power) are mostly stagnant. There has been a lot of outsourcing going on in the last 15 years too, including moving a lot of factories to China, India. That can give a false premise that there has been a lot of automation going on, but in reality, globally there was little improvement.
That's because politics also has this antiquated thing called "voters", and they won't always vote like those with most money want them to (e.g. Trump, Brexit, etc).

It's also because those with money have been getting what they wanted for so long, that they didn't expect much resistance this time either.

But they still have the power, they just can't go and openly revert the voting results. They took their lessons for next time though, and they wont let anything like this happen again...
On the other hand it's nice to have that disconnection from all the crap that goes on. No matter how bad it gets you know that in a couple of months you will be somewhere else.

This is true. While military strength, money, control of resources, etc, have always been important (and probably always will be), public opinion has been a factor in international relations since the time of the french revolution.
In my ideal world we would be isolating Saudi Arabia and treating it as the drug dealer feeding the world's addiction to oil that we need to kick.
Insurance companies are often used as the punching bag for healthcare costs. In reality, insurance companies are just a payment method for the true cost - enormously expensive doctors. Insurance companies are portrayed as having crazy profits, but in reality the insurance company Cigna has a profit margin of 6%.

The American Medical Association realized a century ago that medical care demand is inelastic... Basically if you need medical care, you will pay any price to get it. Doctors took advantage of the situation by passing laws and regulations limiting the number of new doctors allowed each year, who can practice medicine, and the types of businesses that can compete. This greatly limited the supply of doctors. There are not enough doctors to fully meet demand. The basic laws of economics say that when you have strong and inelastic demand, and a limited supply then prices will go through the roof.

I propose we remove these artificial limits that are grossly enriching doctors. If you allow anyone to practice medicine, just like we allow anyone to prepare and serve food or distribute goods then you will end up with a lot more competition. This will result in far better patient outcomes at a far lower price.

The AMA will argue that without limits on who can practice medicine huge numbers of people will die. This is false. Our lives rely on many businesses that if they screw up would kill us. Everything from farming to distribution to food prep to construction needs to perform and deliver for us to survive. The AMA is self serving and greedy. There is no reason an individual surgeon should make hundreds of thousands of dollars. There is no reason certain business types should be legally prevented from competing. Imagine if you had the efficiencies of a business like Amazon or Google in healthcare.

Imagine if you could see statistics on the performance of every doctor and hospital in the country, then decide where you wanted to get treated.

Allow competition in healthcare by removing limits on the number of doctors each year and by allowing new business types that can take advantage of scale and specialization. This will drive down healthcare costs a hundredfold and allow everyone in America access to top healthcare at reasonable prices
But why would we need to protect identities of public servants? I disagree with the entire presumption that the information requested is private. It falls squarely within the principles of the laws on the books and is consistent with the ideals of open government that led to those laws being instituted in the first place.

More importantly, information that can be used to blackmail a public servant is IMO information that should be kept public. Blackmail is only useful if that information is kept private between a blackmailer and victim. Put it all on WikiLeaks and suddenly blackmail holds no weight because the blackmailer lost his leverage. If the information is of public interest and is severe enough that it is blackmail worthy, the entire public deserves to know it.

And dare I say it would be a good thing, just like when Sears Catalog sold decent quality houses too.

I still have yet to buy a house, and it isn't because I haven't tried. Here's some of the major issues I encountered with buying a house.

1) Dangerous hidden problems with the house

I once visited a house advertised for $120,000. It was old but fixable. 3 days after I visited, the clogged oil burner and tank blew up and burned the whole house down.

2) High property taxes

On Long Island NY or in New Jersey, property tax bills of $800-1000 per month are the norm, regardless of house quality or school district.

3) High housing prices, period

Everyone can bet on a house with the banks money, so in a seller's market, buyers have worse odds of winning the right house

4) More technical expertise requied

K factor on a boiler. 5/2 ARM loans. Denim insulation. 110v fuse boxes. Forced air. Closing costs. Tenant's rights. Setback codes.

All of these technical terms are just some of the things that will pop up whenever a homeowner wants to do something to their house to save a little money, like taking in tenants or upgrading to more efficient appliances or adding storage to their house via a shed.

Basically, when something goes wrong in a house, you're on the hook.

Yes, and in all those time periods they had a far better record than their main adversaries.

Trying to listen to how my circadian rhythms react to the cycle of light and darkness, and not to fight it. That generally means going to bed earlier and getting daylight during the morning commute.

If you can sit by a window in your office and work by natural light, do. Leaving the office every day for lunch and enjoying a few rays of sun on the way to the deli also helps, even if you’re bundled up.
If you are used to any reasonably modern programming language, writing any serious Elisp is an exercise in frustration, it is hard to even find out at all how to accomplish basic things, and once you do, there are tons of pitfalls, it is a legacy platform and it feels like its evolution over time was largely accidental. I am talking about doing basic things, working with lists, maps and strings, opening files, running processes, making HTTP requests, etc.

For example, if you want to use a map, you have three choices: you can use alists, plists or hash maps. There are no namespaces in Emacs Lisp, so for each of the three data types you get a bunch of functions with weird names. For alists get is assoc and set is add-to-list, for hash maps get is gethash and set is puthash, for plists get is plist-get and set is plist-put. For each of those types it is easy to find basic use cases that are not covered by the standard library, plus it is easy to run into performance pitfalls, so you end up rewriting everything several times to get something working. The experience is the same across the board, when working with files, working with strings, running external processes etc. There are 3rd party libraries for all those things now because using the builtins is so painful. In many ways it feels like programming some old web browser where you either need to patch the standard libary with 15 dependencies or learn complicated incantations for really basic tasks.

The ideas behind emacs and emacs lisp are great, so I really wish someone succeeded in creating a modern implementation from scratch and it gaining some traction, basically what Clojure did for Common Lisp. By the way even Common Lisp is way more modern than Emacs Lisp...
They also supported and funded Pinochet, Suharto, Saddam, overthrown the democratically elected president of Iran (Mossadeq), meddled in sovereign countries like Korea and Vietnam, and so on. Heck, they divided Europe into zones of influence between themselves and USSR too.
No, outsourcing is included in the estimate. Outsourcing occurs when a process hasn't scaled up enough to be worth automating i.e. cheaper to hire overseas hands to do the process. When factories come back to America for instance, its because the process got large enough to warrant automation, which can be expensive. It bring nearly no jobs 'back'.

And productivity is funny. When folks move down the economic spectrum (from technical to office to labor etc) its called 'full employment' but almost by definition productivity of point-of-sale or labor is very low. Definitely there's no improvement for the individual.
Need a global minimum for all industries indexed similar to Amazon marketplace. Tech 30%. Farming 10-15%. Public service 10%. Etc. Something that can’t be dodged. Even a revenue tax, however that could work. The biggest companies have to much of an advantage. They pay no tax, follow no regulations apart from paying fines. Simply cannot continue.
Forgive me for sounding harsh, but it sounds like your real startup idea is "to get into YC". If you believe in your thing, then do it. Life is short, and being poor is not great, but better than being rich and unhappy.

Why is YC a "dream"? YC and other forms of capital are tools to speed you up. If you can't speed up, trudge along with the rest of us mere mortals, get more paying customers, and grow organically. If you cannot execute your business without capital, revise your business model and see what you can do to kickstart sales process.
What's the best way to know what quotient of your investment money comes from "good" (e.g. enviourmentally friendly) sources vs "bad" (e.g. oil) sources? The enviourmental industry tend to be really good about going deep with where energy is coming from (looking many layers deeper, not allowing certain certificates if e.g. solar panels are constructed in an enviourmentally unfriendly way). Is there something similar in the tech investment world? Is there some index or something you can look up (some independent investigator) to ensure that you're minimizing taking money from actors who has gotten it in a questionable way (or who will use their returns to e.g. invest in coal plants)?

Don't tell me it's an impossible task. Again, the energy industry tends to be pretty good at this. There are ways to know that the energy you're buying is clean not just on the surface level (but many layers down the pipeline of influences).

If you're thinking in 'customer journey' terms (and I don't just mean maps), you don't want anyone holding segments hostage.

This. I know it's not the norm, but I actually had jobs treat me very well in the recent past, and frequently give me unrequested raises. Last one actually left me baffled since it was so unexpected. I know I've been lucky, but I almost never had to ask for raises before.

It really depends on the people and the size of the company.
The main other countries being? Even USSR didn't have 2/3rds of the world's population enslaved and their countries occupied. Western colonial powers did. This is just Africa for example [1], add Asia (including at times China and Japan, and Latin America, plus parts of Europe (e.g. Cyprus, a British colony).

Heck, the 2 world wars weren't started by those "other countries" either. European countries started it too.

While you may be right that secondary metabolites can be a problem (the mentioned gossypol being a perfect example), lectins (as any other protein) are not risk when you heat your food. I would rather worry that removing the insect toxins from a plant is intended to increase the sale of insecticides.
Absent founder.

The non-tech founder hired a typical consulting/dev-shop to build the initial prototype. When completed, he hired the engineers that worked on the project into his company and let them manage themselves. He drops in once a month to espouse where he sees the company and product going, what we should do and what the product is missing. Then he fucks off and doesn't return calls or emails.

Meanwhile, the engineers now have to take on the role of product owner, project manager, customer support and even sales.

Makes it hard to judge, but there are occasions where peers refuse to believe something right up until everyone accepts it, like the cause of ulcers often being Helicobacter pylori. Peer reviewed research these days isn't always dependable either given the for pay nature of many journals. Findings with actual anti-virals changing the brain function of people with Alzheimers would go a long way to showing the connection. That there is an inheritable connection to the disease is fairly well understood so that so that would make it more likely to get the disease wouldn't be much of a shock.

Apple autocorrect has gotten worse over the past few years. The worst part is that it often changes words that were correctly typed to something wrong without the user noticing.

The closest you'll get is the the "Clients and Privileges" section, and I much prefer to spend time on "what is" and "what will it become" than comparisons.

Part of the problem is that Xorg is much more well defined in that most can grok "what it is" so there is a point of reference to base an explanation from without 'too much' confusion, there's stuff to work on that isn't IRC logs or mailing list posts which is seriously 90% of Wayland right there.

Wayland is not a "protocol" in the traditional RFC/Jon Postel sense. Heck, even the spec PDF itself referred to itself as a Display Server. There's single X extensions with far more coherent descriptions than all of the Wayland Ecosystem. It's full of overloaded terms and technical WTFs!?. If anything, its the worst parts of Micosoft COM resurrected. An asynchronous Object Oriented IDL. Run for the hills.

Some say it'll fix security issues, it'll fix performance issues, it'll fix world peace -- with barely anyone answering or questioning "how", "why" or "why can't X?". When you counter-argue its feature anaemia it is "oh it's just a protocol, the compositor fixes that" and when you question the feature bulimia it is "oh that's compositor extensions, not the protocol".

Neither position is substantiated by its technical underpinnings, the protocol parts itself, nor the documentation, nor any of the the 'project goals'.
