In fact in the good big companies, they crave for employee growth. Time and money for training, meaningful career growth, and pay growth, major tech switches without changing jobs.

I find that small companies are often much worse in all these metrics. As a jr employee they’ll never rise to chief architect - your friend, the cofounder, has that job. And is never giving it up. Plus thanks to cash crunch, making shortcuts to deliver is common in small companies. Especially since they don’t have a reputation to protect. So quality? Well, maybe.

I recently took 9 weeks off from my bigco FAANG, job to help raise my baby. After the company’s health plan was on the hook for a million in costs (baby born prematurely, spent 3 months in hospital nicu). At no point was I worried about my job or company. I’m happily back on the team in my job cranking away and being productive.

Now tell me my experience would be better in a 12 person startup/shop. I dare you.

Ps: in terms of impact, well I work on a small thing in a sense so only a few million people directly use my product. Big companies have big impact. Lots of guard rails which is nice to no longer make the same basic mistakes over and over.

This is definitely one of the best responses I've read on HN. I agree with this - "try not to take it personally and think any less of yourself. Failing an interview isn't necessarily your failure, it could be the ones who interviewed you that failed. "
What exactly did they get wrong about the Arab Spring?
I did this. I landed my first job out of school way below industry rates (like 2/3 typical junior in my area, mostly because I'm bad at negotiation), got a tiny (~2%) salary bump at 6mo and then nothing for a year. I never felt comfortable asking for a big raise, despite learning a lot and contributing a lot, and after a year the bump at 6mo felt more like a slap than anything. I jumped ship when another opportunity arose. They counter offered more than where I was going (double my current salary) but I didn't care, they had already eroded my trust (and confidence) and I didn't want anything to do with them any more (not that I actually said that, gotta follow my M.O.).

My communication skills are my biggest flaw, especially around things like negotiating salary / talking about how I feel with the job. My technical communication is pretty fair, but I turn into a brick wall when we approach higher level meta conversations. I had plenty of opportunity and I wasn't mistreated, but being paid half what you think you're worth for a year with no change in sight really does a number on your confidence as a new player, and I never spoke up about it. I'll accept if that means it's my fault for not getting myself a raise, but I also won't feel bad about leaving after getting on the job training.

If you want to keep your junior employees, pay them what they're worth now not what they were worth 6mo or a year ago. Switching companies is just the only way to force companies to reset the memory of what your salary used to be and reevaluate your value.

That said, based on your other comments itt, that may not be the case in your example.
Now that you’ve mentioned Hillary Clinton, I refuse to participate in this conversation.
Pay them more.

Isn't this why most junior devs leave? Because they are getting crap junior dev salaries? Once you've trained them they are no longer junior devs. The market certainly doesn't think so.
"It’s from every contractor who came to work sick because they have no paid time off."

You're. A. Contractor. I've contracted for the last 6 years, that's definitionally one of the elements associated with non-employment. I love contracting and would never in a million years expect to be paid for time off.

Employment means security, benefits, guaranteed time off, and predictability. Contracting typically means higher pay, ability to work more or less hours than 40/wk, typically more flexibility regarding remote work. That's the nature of each arrangement, they have tradeoffs. That means contracting gets no security and no paid time off. I, and every other contractor I know, do this WILLINGLY. I PREFER this to employment.

These people are absolutely out of their mind, my ability to comprehend the level of imagined self victimization we're willing to tolerate, as if indulging is anything other than hurting everyone involved, is rapidly diminishing.
> An amplifier doesn't look at voltage and "freshens it up"

Sure it does, as long as you set the proper bias and use a definition of "fresh" that makes sense for digital signals.

> unlike a DRAM cell requires no clocking

Yes, that's why it's 'continuous'.

> You need two inverting amplifier

You don't need to use that design. It just happens to have reasonable size and leakage characteristics.

> more complex and isn't simply "looking at voltage to freshen in up"

That circuit is a hundred times simpler than the DRAM refreshing circuit you used those words to describe!
lol real estate itself is not a security
> how well does UEFI secure boot protect against an attacker with a high degree of physical access to the machine?

Everything is relative.

When enabled, what Secure Boot ensures is that only boot media signed by a trusted a key (which unless user-replaced, typically are the vendor-provided key which trusts MS Windows and common Linux-distros) can be booted.

This guarantees that the base OS and kernel booted by the machine can be trusted to not be tampered with by untrusted parties. That is, the most important part of the OS is protected against malicious modifications and attacks by the firmware.

However if this is the only security-measure you have, there is nothing preventing a physical attacker from extracting the drive into another machine, and on this machine modify non-boot related OS-files to introduce a backdoor or trojan, and then put the drive back into the original machine.

You will then boot a trusted kernel, which later on may load malicious code. Secure boot alone does not protect against a scenario like this.

But if you use Secure Boot together with and BitLocker, LUKS or other full-disk encryption solutions, you should be reasonably secure, even against physical attackers.

Basically Secure Boot is not a full security solution, but it is the base which you need for a fully trusted, tamper-proof computing environment. Without it, you wouldn't know if someone is logging your password or not when unlocking the encrypted drives.

> The fact is that the CIA in that period was absolutely inept. It failed to build any significant intelligence networks in either the Soviet Union or China, mispredicted critical events such as China's entrance into the Korean War

I think that’s mostly because the CIA is focusing on analyzing what I believe is mostly meaningless information about its “adversaries” instead of doing their best to try and get the best information there is, even from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.

More to the point, I’m thinking about medieval Venice which I see as the “master of them all” when it comes to collecting meaningful intelligence. When they wanted to know if some other medieval entity was about to enter war against the Turks or not (the Turks had become their greatest foe) they were actually sending some Venice merchant (or at least that was his official guise) to actually live at the ruler’s court of that medieval entity and hear directly from that ruler’s mouth what his intentions were. Venice even had people in Istanbul itself which were often seen at the Sultan’s or the Grand Vizier’s court in order to try and understand what the Turks’ intentions were. Back to the CIA and China, they should have had their men at Mao’s “court” if they really had wanted to know his intentions. They didn’t because they probably couldn’t so that they tried instead to guess his intentions by over-analyzing what Mao and his people decided to publish through Chinese propaganda channels.

I described no DRAM refreshing circuit, I describe a SRAM cell, I don't believe that definition of fresh is suitable for the discussion nor is it fitting when talking about SRAM, I also never said it wasn't continuous, ie linear, I did disagree with the wording that made it sound like there is a refresh process that happens repeatedly.
In what ways is the gap this wide? I tend to think the opposite.
> I'm no professional economist or anything, so I'm sure I'm missing some of the nuances of the situation...

You could've just looked up the economic definition of "shortage". What you're describing is not an economic shortage, it's market equilibrium. Of course there's always more demand than supply for something at a cheaper price than what the actual market price is.
That's only part of it (although I have certainly seen that existing employees raises don't compete with the salaries of new hires with the same amount of experience at the same company).

Another part is that if you hire an inexperienced programmer, not only do they have lower productivity than an engineer with 2+ years experience, but they lower the productivity of at least one other senior engineer that needs to mentor them and bring them up to speed. I'd estimate that mentoring a new inexperienced hire would at least half the mentor's productivity for a couple months at least. If you hire someone that's already worked a couple years, that lost productivity was paid for by a different company.
I have a first gen X1 carbon that I recently purchased on ebay for a little less than $200 and I haven't ran into any hiccups with general usage on W10. The keyboard is really nice, but I don't think as nice as the keyboard on the x200/220, but better than the x230 from when I remember using one.

If you have $200 to spend I think the 1st gen x1 is easily the best ultraportable for the buck.

Hard cider was also the only alcohol available to the first settlers (early 17th century). Grain was not yet cultivated in large numbers for beermaking, the engine of the slave trade [rum] hadn't taken hold yet, whiskey was deemed not fit for consumption by decent peoples (and the Scots and Irish hadn't yet arrived to figure out how to distill it), and wine was too difficult to import.

The first liquor readily available was Applejack, a freeze-distilled spirit made from hard cider. Surprisingly, the first distillery ever licensed in the United States is still around - Laird & Company, of Scobeyville, New Jersey. George Washington asked the founder for his recipe before the Revolutionary War. Sadly, they no longer produce in NJ, and they no longer freeze-distill their spirit; the only commercially produced one available is American Alcohollery's Applejohn, in Moravian Falls, NC.

I see this article, like others on Wikipedia, perpetuating the "they drank booze because water would kill them" myth. How did the original pioneers [to say nothing of the Native Americans..] survive in the new world for close to two decades, then, without any booze? Surely one single person who had been there for a long time might have said, "Uh, guys, actually, we drink the water here, it's fine, we're not dead. You don't have to grow apples for 10 years just to have something safe to drink." But according to modern armchair historians, that would have just been too crazy, and the half-drunken stupor of American pioneers for over a century sounds much more justifiable as "well, clearly they thought the water was bad".
Probably the two most useful courses I took period were electives as part of my business minor.

Financial Accounting has been incredibly useful to understand how businesses operate and why they make many of the decisions they do. Not to mention understanding a bit about finances helps with investing.

Marketing was also a very important course, though not as a direct application as it is taught. Finding a job, and indeed many things at work require you to market yourself and/or your ideas. Understanding the principles of marketing makes being successful at your career much easier.
4 Awesome Lead Generation Techniques That Works One Step Ahead
Your reply isn't helpful. It's not market equilibrium. It's a shortage, because they need access to a limited resource to achieve something, but that limited resource isn't there.

Google definition of shortage: "a state or situation in which something needed cannot be obtained in sufficient amounts." Huh, that's exactly what I said.

In this case, the resource is being consumed by higher paying consumers outside of the local market. The whole market isn't necessarily suffering a shortage, but there are absolutely local shortages within a global market. Everything is in equilibrium if you look at a large enough picture.

> As a jr employee they’ll never rise to chief architect

Considering that only few people get to the top title at a big company (I think there is ~20 Technical Fellows in Microsoft world wide), I think that is a fallacy. If you work at a small company that grows, you're far more likely to become a chief architect.

Interesting pieces:

In large part because of high oil prices, a disproportionate share of America’s economic growth over the past decade has come from Texas. The gross domestic product of the state is $1.6 trillion; if it were an independent country, its economy would settle in around tenth place, eclipsing those of Canada and Australia. California, with forty per cent more residents, has a G.D.P. of $2.6 trillion, but since 2000 job growth in both Dallas and Houston has expanded by about thirty per cent—three times the rate of Los Angeles.

Not the OP, but they probably genuinely thought that it would lead to a democratization of the Middle East and North Africa the same as it had happened to Eastern Europe after 1989. Instead we got ISIS and the cluster-f*ck of war-lords that is current Lybia.

Personally I'm happy being an employee for now and have no desire to move or start a company. But if you're asking a bank to finance hiring more developers then you're really barking up the wrong tree. You need to find investors with a different risk profile.

No other device on the market currently provides a secondary processor that runs full validation of the UEFI firmware before allowing the processor to start booting.

It's not just secure boot, which has been around for a while, it's everything around it.

On almost all other devices you could write new data to a flash chip and that now becomes the UEFI boot loader that is used (and can bypass secure boot). There is no verification of the UEFI boatloader that is possible because it's sitting in NVRAM or Flash... and you can't trust it to self-verify because it may have been tampered with.
