Ive been racking my brain how to make this, perhaps crowd source info.. scrape listing for a while. Then make it premium to advertise premium spots.

Mainly it would be good for society - saving people lots of time, and getting more people working, and more jobs filled.

I've noticed some employers do tests on application, then don't again for years. I've witnessed people losing jobs when they ran afoul of office politics, then suddenly a test was 'randomly' given.

I think some places around here use some kind of percentages thinking to say, 'if we drug test applicants, make them use an internet portal to apply, and give one of those personality quizzes before an interview' - we can be sure that 99% of our applicants will be white.

I can't say for sure that is what is going on at some places around here, I don't have any inside info saying exactly that - but, when you have a place that needs help doing oil changes and they put up all those hoops to jump through, you have wonder what their target worker market is and why. Maybe they just don't want 'white trash' people under cars getting greasy.

Anyhow, a "smile and work" portal would be beneficial to society imho. Maybe more so in busy cities.
My intended point with regard to wokeness was that college is a place where there is limited downside to screaming your carefully considered, morally pure opinions from the rooftops. People accultured to that kind of environment often don't understand how people outside the college bubble will interpret their comments.

I'm trying to distinguish between responsibilities and obligations, which you're forced to adhere to, and affinity.

Anyone can close if they're forced to, but some people actually like it. Clear objectives, solutions need to be focused, etc.

Is there anyone who knows more about radio stuff that can explain why they want to have both Ku and V band for users? It it just a matter of having more spectrum? Or are some bands more suited to crowded areas, like a city where there might be lots of customers sharing bandwidth? Do you need different hardware for using the different frequencies?

It continues to be an annoyance that we have this great technology in the form of U2F, but Office365/Azure (where troyhunt.com's MX records currently point by the way) doesn't support it. In fact their UX still strongly pushes you towards SMS if you don't know where to look.
> It’s a bit like blaming the scientists of the Manhattan Project for dropping the atomic bomb.

Consider Joseph Rotblat. He worked on the Manhattan Project because believed that it was needed as a deterrent against a German nuclear weapon. After he learned that Germany had given up on the bomb, he left the Manhattan Project - the only one to do so - and felt betrayed by its use in Japan.

"Rotblat believed that scientists should always be concerned with the ethical consequences of their work.[39] He became one of the most prominent critics of the nuclear arms race ... Rotblat shared, with the Pugwash Conferences, the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize for efforts toward nuclear disarmament." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Rotblat .

There's a movie about him, "The Strangest Dream", at https://www.nfb.ca/film/strangest_dream/ .
I've seen a very similar problem to this referred to as "black swan events"[1]. The whole point is you can't actually compute it. You see the period, it's there. What he's doing here isn't science, it's a guess.

As others have pointed it, it's rather rare that events happen with perfectly distributed probability (probably the opposite). For instance, the chance of being in an accident is much higher if an accident just occurred right next to you. It's almost way more likely to get sick, if others are already sick. In fact, although I don't have any statistics to back me up, I'd guess that most events happen in clusters (including spelling errors, or when you test for perfect pitch in children, when you go to the music class).

This is essentially a guess, and it's better to say you don't know than guess wildly.

I think there's something that can be learned from witnessing excellence in any area - writing, coding, music, sports...seeing the processes, discipline, out-of-the-box thinking, teamwork, etc. that lead to a great outcome can transfer over into other fields. Yes, sports are mainly for entertainment (and a series of never-ending cliches) but are also a microcosm of life.

That being said, I agree that you'll learn much more from reading books, taking a course, etc. than sitting down and watching sports for the equivalent amount of time.
I'm still not clear why people are claiming this would run afoul of labor laws. IANAL, but sibling comment claims that a contract needs "consideration" on both sides, but surely the value of the training, and the value of a guaranteed term of employment are both considerations?
So many people use Excel/Google Sheets as a database rather than a spreadsheet, except you don't get any of the advantages of a database. It's astounding to me that there hasn't really been a webapp that's essentially just a nice collaborative frontend for a SQL database, which is how I use Airtable in my lab. I'm very happy to see they're on a sustainable path, and I hope they continue to support the use case of just-a-database. Congrats!

If the process is truly random however, then that no longer holds and you risk falling prey to the gambler's fallacy. If you flip a coin and get heads 14 times, you're still equally likely to get heads or tails the 15th time, despite the probability of getting heads 15 times in a row being very low.
Their job is similar to that of a Symphony Conductor. They should absolutely have intimate feedback with their immediate subordinates, but only really need a high level overview of what's happening and to have open dialogues with those that are more domain expert than they are.

Having said that, //never// used a computer? To my mind this is like hearing someone say they haven't ever cooked at all for themselves. Not even really basic simple things.

It makes you question just how sheltered and insulated from every-day life this individual is.

Separately this is a huge HR problem that just isn't addressed properly in the USA. If the suicides are due to work pressures that employer has a direct responsibility for that situation.

Echoing what others have said here, if you are contemplating suicide talk to people about it. Don't suffer in isolation. Get out of your bubble of despair and try to see your life in perspective - get help that's what we are all here for, each other...
Yeah, the way we use web components at Mixpanel involves sticking to the vanilla APIs for lifecycle management, but we still need libraries to handle inter-component communication, state and rendering (see my discussion at https://engineering.mixpanel.com/2018/06/12/making-web-compo... and https://github.com/mixpanel/panel). I do hope some of these concerns eventually get addressed in the standards though.
And the argument is that those with domain experience are better at managing the people - because they understand what and how those people need to to their job properly.
I think their comments will come across as arrogant and entitled to potential employers and/or colleagues who google them in the future. I think the kids are probably not that way, they're just really earnest, but the reporter did them a disservice by putting their juicy hot college sophomore takes into the ether for all of eternity.
This is really exciting! I particularly like the lightness of the web-pages and the non-necessity of javascript. The support for the BSDs in the build system (FreeBSD at the moment, OpenBSD and NetBSD planned[0]) is also nice — as a Linux person I've far too often ignored the other Unixes and POSIX / general Unix compatibility.

I hate being THAT guy, but would you consider trying[1] to re-license the AGPL-3.0 bits to AGPL-3.0-or-later, unless sticking with just v3 was deliberate (in which case fair enough)? My rationale:

i) License-incompatibility is a curse that fragments the copyleft world.

ii) Worrying about AGPL-3.0-only being incompatible with AGPL-4.0, in ten years time, if/when the latter comes out, will be too late, as (hopefully) sr.ht will have had hundreds or thousands of contributors, many uncontactable, by then.

iii) Having AGPL-3.0-or-later instead of just AGPL-3.0 is unlikely to put off any contributors.

iv) (This is subjective and might not hold for you:) I trust the FSF not to do something sufficiently crazy with its next iteration of licenses (if such exist), that I would prefer my code not to be compatible with such licenses.

>You may be surprised to learn that Everest is not the tallest mountain on Earth, either. That honor belongs to Mauna Kea, a volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea originates deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, and rises more than 33,500 feet from base to peak.

Can someone explain this? How do you differentiate "the mountain" from "the rest of the earth that it comes out of"?

(Side note: the issue of "tallest mountain", as discussed here, is a great example of dealing with an ambiguous concept and clarifying it by asking what you're trying to do with the answer.)

I think we're basically in agreement, although I don't think the issue is about California's thinking they are different. California just has large populations in fire-prone areas.

There is a significant risk in building in these areas, exacerbated by all the aforementioned factors. This will probably be accounted for in insurance rates going forward, which will hopeful deter people from building flammable houses in wildfire zones.
I don't think it would be a very persuasive argument. Atomic bombs have some easily quantifiable negatives, for example $5+ trillion spent on nuclear arms in the US alone, and ~200,000 mostly civilians killed.

I don't think they're saying the students aren't "allowed" to voice their opinions. They're making the point that this is obviously what a college student would say when asked a question like this in the current social climate. No one is saying they are bad for doing so. The point is that it's an easy, ultimately fruitless article that highlights the well-known views of a large population of young adults.
Facebook removed over 1.5B fake accounts in the last six months
This is true of anything, just a bunch of talk. It's easy to be opposed to X when X does not offer you anything. As soon as X is good for you, many (most?) people don't stick to their guns.
I think the difference is how they choose whose turn it will be next. There's a big difference between a central authority picking people to take turns, and what Ethereum is working on.
I agree that based on combination (n! / k!(n-k)!) it seems to be 1 in 20, but when you think of it as running A and B and checking if X or Y is faster 3 times, then you get 1 in 8. Quite a big difference. Where does it come from? Am I doing something wrong? I mean combination approach counts same time results as a win but given enough time precision we could skip this scenario.

edit: Ah, got it, in my case 3rd result for X can be higher than the first result for Y. You said all times must be smaller.

Forget about Monsanto. The point I wanted to make is that FB is that they have a lot of power to shape culture/discourse and take little to no responsibility when things go wrong.

Until I don't see a change on their behavior/policies (by them or some regulating power). I will be weary about working with them or using their products.

> I'm kind of surprised they listed a $140k starting pay. That's pretty low for new grads in the industry and very low for Facebook.

If it's just salary, not including equity, that's by no means "very low". Where are you finding that new grads are typically getting more?
> The simple fact is, none of these men (the Kochs or Soros) are "evil," they believe in what they believe and they put their money towards it. Simple as that.

It's one thing for Obama allege the Koch brothers are spending millions to advance an agenda in Congress. It's quite another for Trump to allege George Soros is funding a migrant caravan containing elements of terrorists, gang members, smallpox, and leprosy to invade the US southern border. That's why I'm saying its a false equivalence.

I'd have a lot more understanding for the people working on the atomic bomb. From their perspective they were in the midst of a world war with an enemy that was trying to do the same thing. That's just a matter of preserving your own existence.

Same with Iridium Certus/Next - their devices are rumoured to be tiny chips (even with current constellation the hotspot is just slightly larger than modern 4G ones).

You don't really need much bandwidth for most IoT apps.
They’re already in place that has enough drag. The satellites will deorbit in months to years without periodic boosts. Debris will come down faster, since they have more surface area relative to their mass. A single impulse always results in an orbit that intersects the original orbit at the location of the impulse, so it’s impossible for a collision to raise debris entirely beyond that altitude.
Minor correction to your otherwise excellent final statement:

"... or equivalently the total number of [pages with] typos in the 20,000 page book is between 0 and 300."

We're not measuring the number of typos on a page, but only whether the page contains a typo or not. So we can't speak about the number of typos.
What resource did you learn this from?
On the other hand, maybe making a public pledge will help strengthen their ethical resolve in a year or two.

That's the idea behind this pledge, for example: http://neveragain.tech/ (though I've yet to see any of the Palantir employees actually quitting)
And it's so transparent at this point. I've listened to podcasts with reporters and they lament the rise of Facebook and how "Facebook is stealing their business" through ads and algorithm changes that hurt them.

But the bias doesn't matter because everyone on the internet hates them (and Google) so they just rush to pile on. Anything negative about Facebook gets to the front page very quickly. The thing is, Facebook has billions of users and you don't get billions of users by being evil. People may not love Facebook, but there really isn't a better way to keep up with friends, family, and to organize get togethers. I don't use Facebook that much, but I'll never delete it. It's just too valuable in my life.

As an aside: we're all engineers here, and if Facebook offered you guys a job, almost everyone here would take it. Their engineering team, quality of life, and compensation is extremely hard to beat. The NY Times found a couple college kids who don't want to work for Facebook. Okay. As a recent college graduate I can assure you that almost everyone in my graduating class would have taken a job at Facebook if given the chance. Facebook came and hired the smartest of my graduating class and the "hackathon" crowd puts Facebook at close to the top of their list of companies to work for. Facebook isn't hurting for talent and they have the compensation packages to compete for the best of the best.
While I agree that massively raising salaries wouldn't necessarily cause a corresponding increase in the overall labor pool of programmers, it likely would increase a number employers care more about.

Specifically, such a move would likely deepen the pool of programmers who want a W-2 job with a company that is the ultimate target of their work (as opposed to services firms). I would guess a lot of contractors would sign up for steady work at salaries in the range you mentioned. This applies across the experience spectrum, but more especially to more experienced people, who are less valued by current employment structures.

A lot of contractors basically act like employees now, and are only contractors for exogenous labor market reasons. For example, independent contractors can easily make more than the prevailing total W-2 comp for their level of experience. Closer to entry level, large system integrators (think: Accenture, IBM, etc.) pay marginally more with better benefits than most entry level jobs at F500 companies, where programmers usually do not make $150k to start. A $150k entry level salary would draw this talent directly into the F500 and away from the middlemen. (This is all to the extent that there are even entry level programming jobs at those firms anymore, since so many have been shifted to consulting firms).

Overall, it could end up being cheaper in both short and long terms for many of those roles to be filled by W-2 employees than by system integrators. I'd bet good money that these salary levels would make it relatively easy to hire formerly independent consultants and/or out of the big system integrators.

There is also a decent number of mid-career software people who have switched into other fields (law, project management) for potential financial upside. Programming can be a demanding field, and by mid-career for many people the compensation doesn't balance against the relatively low social status, being on call, etc. Many of these people might prefer to be programmers at a F500 making $400k with benefits, but in the main that job doesn't exist.

And that's before we look at people running small businesses that are semi-successful. The bar for continuing to run those goes up substantially if the alternative is make $40k/month at a +/-40 hour/week job.

To answer your question: yes, a senior development comp of $500k would increase the number of senior development employees.
