These two things are not related. There is a lot more than salary and benefits that go into an hourly billing number. There is no way anyone would know for sure what salary they set unless we somehow knew their overhead, G&A, fringe and other indirect allocations.

They bill $X so I should get paid $X is not how the industry operates - there is so much more that needs to be considered here.

Anyone who has owned a company that specializes in services or even worked long-term as a 1099 could confirm this.

You're just as likely to kill the product by not targeting the niche. Trying to please the majority puts you in competition with the big players. This phone's specs, with the possible exception of the CPU/GPU (haven't looked into it), are a downgrade from the 6 year old Note 3. The only saving grace at the moment is GNU/Linux, separated baseband, and hardware kill switches. Is that going to be enough? If the battery removal tools aren't as simple as a screwdriver, it's already lost me.
These are all very good points, as patio said, it's very handwaivy. It depends on insurance, how much of the cost do they push to you vs accept themselves. Do they match 401k. do they have vacation you enjoy? All of that adds to their overhead on top of your salary.

The fixed part is that 20% overhead which is to maintain the recruiters, HR, contract admin guys who do all the work so you don't have to market yourself.

As he said, if you want the full rate go off on your own, but before you do that I'd suggest you listen to some guys who talk about it. There's a .NET rocks podcast that talks about this because the guy says you can't work 100% for any given contract. You've got to be working towards the next one. So even if you go work for yourself you either work 40+ hrs or you bill at 35 hr a week and market yourself for 5+ to make sure your next gig is always there.

Also, you have to factor in how much your consulting agency pays you for stuff into your salary. 0 days PTO? Well it seems like you're going to have to bump your salary by 10-15% in order to break even on a salary job? Paid overtime? Well you might knock that down a bit. It all balances out.

$165k/year.

When in that situation, I tried to earn 1/2 of that. At ~2000 hours per year, that comes to about $165k/year. Whenever making less than half, I knew that some other company would be willing to pay more for my services. This was government contracting, so your situation might be different.
If you're trying to figure out if a failure is from the service you're trying to hit, or if it's the connection of the current device, you need to hit a separate, third resource. To be resilient/fast enough, for most product you'd probably hit a static file on a well known CDN. If you work at google, google.com is honestly not a bad idea.

If you just try to ping the resource you were going to access, for all you know it's the resource that's down.
I've actually found Apple Maps navigation when driving (though not just for looking up stuff) generally better than Google's in most of the above situations — particularly with regard to getting in the correct lane, multi-exit roundabouts (Ireland!!), and warnings for upcoming turns at the correct times.

Apple Maps did route me up a to the top of a mountain on a single-lane two-way road in France, but I had "avoid tolls" enabled so it might have been my fault. Can't say it wasn't scenic though.

The search, however, is absurd! It does constantly return places on the other side of the planet! And God-forbid you misspell anything by a single character. I wish there was a plugin for Apple products that would just return the "Did You Mean" result from a Google search. I'd gladly trade a little bit of privacy for crowdsourced spellcheck at this point.

It's sort of how management consultants and big firm law works. They bill out associates for a lot of money--less than partners but not necessarily that much less--but it's the partners that make the big money. Of course, the partners have a lot of other responsibilities such as bringing in new clients and, frankly, a lot of the newly minted associates aren't all that useful. (Source: I've been on the client side of a McKinsey consulting job.)

I can't speak to the exact numbers but that's basically how the math works. (And the reason you hopefully perform as an $800/hr consultant is that there is theoretically methodology and experience being provided by the firm behind you.)
No idea, but related question: does anyone know the status of r7rs-large? (r7rs-small has been done for a few years AFAIK...)
I don't think that works. I think most of us here would have similar understandings of something like https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/19941/example-of-sys..., similar to what physicists might have from a Feynman diagram. I assume physicists could illustrate a proof with one, but would actually run through the QED equations, also. Similarly, we could deeply understand a system from an architectural diagram, but we wouldn't use them as source code.
If they're flying you out, putting you in a hotel, giving you a meal allowance, handling your powerpoint presentations, and organizing the business operations, it does cut down the amount of money that they're keeping.

18:1 does seem like a pretty high markup, but if you're working at McKinsey/Boston/Bain, you're also being paid in prestige - just like if you're working at Goldman Sachs or Skadden Arps. Because you have had a prestigious job in the past, it's much easier to be in 'the club' for other prestigious jobs in the future. It's also a big part of the carrot of eventually being a Partner/MD where you make $1m + for the last 30 years of your career.

It's hard to fathom, but as a recruiter, there's a massive inequality in the employment experience. Some people are battling to get into entry level roles, whereas others are recruited straight from college into highly paid opportunities that lead onto more of the same.
If audio recording is the only thing holding you back, then I'd recommend you get a second PC dedicated for audio recording, running Windows or Mac, and use your main PC for Linux. That way, you'll be happy user and maintain your sanity, instead of complaining of the OS of your choice.

Majority of video streamers (ie Twitch streamers) uses 2 system setup, where one PC is used for games and the second PC is dedicated for video recording in order to reduce the load on the gaming PC. Similarly, for screencast, I'd recommend Elgato CamLink or other Linux compatible HDMI capture device, so you can do recording/capturing on the Windows machine, while working on your Linux workstation.

As for me, I use all three major OS: Mac, Windows, and Linux (Debian). Each OS have their strength and their weakness, so I try to use the right tool for the job.
Watch David Cross (Arrested Development) Do VR-Based Stand-Up Comedy (Sort Of)
haha I butchered that sorry. Yeah - pricing...I've seen it as near same and at double the normal price
Wow. Your time was valuable enough to be billed at nearly a grand an hour, and you didn’t think you could do significant better than $50/h working for yourself? The other commenters in this thread seem to think that a ratio of roughly 3:1 is normal for a coder. Why do you think the difference is so huge?
I found Ubuntu and Fedora equally usable (KDE variants). The only reason I switched from either of those was because I wanted a distro with rolling releases.
This is a useful answer and these points are well taken but unless I'm misunderstanding, I object to the underlying logic here. If you work this backwards, starting from "I can get a developer for $100k/yr", your logic re-derives cost-based pricing. And of course, a strong consultancy doesn't price its services based on the cost of its inputs, but on the packaged value it's providing to its clients.

So, for example, if this consultancy found a specialist niche within which it could charge not $165/hr but rather $220/hr, you would not expect to see developer wages increase commensurately.
Yeah, Yahoo is crazy for doing that, but a lot of email provides allowed re-use of email addresses back then. I think that happening today with literally the largest email provider is a stretch.

Everyone knows if you allow email re-use, it breaks the most obvious security features for everything on the internet.
I mean, I'd love to go...I live in Boulder too

"a return to fact-based debate"

When was this fact-based debating era?
I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile a couple years ago, and where I live (Oregon), T-Mobile's service is absolute garbage compared to Verizon's. It was fine in the dense parts of the city, but anything outside of that was a total gamble. Driving to the mountain, the beach, or really anywhere outside the metro area nearly guaranteed a lack of service all or most of the way. I even had poor reception in parts of my house, and would sometimes lose calls in my kitchen!

I recently switched to AT&T and am much happier, but there are still occasions where my wife (on Verizon) has service but I don't. I've also heard similar anecdotes from people I've met in other parts of the country, so I don't think Oregon is the only state for which this is true.

(Before you say that this was a problem with my phone, I changed phones once while I was still on T-Mobile, and the service did not improve.)

I run a small business, and the one thing I was not prepared for, vs being an individual contributor - there is SO much random stuff that pops up. Paperwork, compliance stuff, HR stuff, planning stuff, finance stuff, making sure that you've been doing enough sales. Oh and it's all urgent. And almost all of it is menial. But needs to be done in the next few days.

There's a world of difference in being an IC and running a shop. Reminds me a comment I saw on HN a while ago - "Oh you like writing software and want to start a SaaS business? Great, now writing software is 10% of what you do"
The $800 covers a lot more than just the person whose time it's ostensibly paying for.

I also find Apple Maps perfectly adequate for navigation around urban areas and some less urban areas as well, in USA and Europe. I found google maps better (but still not that great) in some more remote parts of Russia.

The two companies have different approaches to businesses, landmarks. I find Apple much better for places I"m familiar with -- generally has the info I am looking for without as much noise. But when I'm a tourist in someplace unfamiliar I find google clearer so far.

I don't use Chrome or its developer tools, but I do use Firefox's. They work well for my needs, because I can inspect network requests, including editing and re-sending them, and I can debug JS.
Depending on the use, I think it can be fantastic.

Jetbrains makes an editor called MPS that is used to make DSLs and you can include things like tables and diagrams into the code. In places where you have very specific requirements and structure, it can help experts in the domain produce the logic for it. That's the same with level editing, level editors need good creativity and views of spaces not experts in C++, so a DSL and graphical editing is great, because it lets them focus on something else.

That said, when it comes to the code behind things, text gives you an immense amount of expressibility that can't be replicated very well with graphical things. It's the same reason why a lot of developers prefer the command line to graphical configuration; you get far more expression for your expertise in a text environment. You get every combination of letters/symbols on the keyboard entered through a large physical interface; using the mouse to click on things feels slow by comparison.

Seems more akin to the middle-income trap. An economy is closing/protectionist policies up causing stagnation of its growth. I see brazil, south africa, japan, and even the USSR. Basically galapagosing themselves by making tech companies that only work in china.
I love it how you clearly use your position at the company to make yourself feel in control. Like a mod on this site. Hey fucktard, you're not interviewing the guy you just replied. He's not interested in your disqualifications for hiring. In fact, I'd say you're a low-level middle-management paper pusher who does nothing useful for the company, and are replaceable with no ramp-up.

The attitude is a negative one, towards an idiot shithead. Trust me, with an attitude like yours, no one good would choose to work for you. When picking good resources, that are good for your team, you are competing for them - they're not competing for you. Seriously, you're like a meter maid on a powertrip. Clown.

Reading this, I had a flash of a question:

RISC makes a lot of sense given compilers and many other possible optimizations?

However, there are increasing trends to put functions right into silicon too. Those frequently replace many instructions.

Will ML tech somehow make better sense of those things, and CISC in general?
This whole thing seems so tacky and cheap. It reminds me of a rich old person holding up the line so he can get his Senior discount and save $1.47. Is Huawei so poor and T-Mobile charging so much to use the robot?

You're probably right.

However, these (below) suggest that HTML3 spec at least had layout attributes like align, wrap, clear on p; and had width for hr (it was a Netscape extension on HTML2 too, apparently).

Also since HTML2 textarea had cols and rows attributes. There was also default styling on blockquote and lists that have indents. \&nbsp; was used for horizontal "alignment" (tabs); code and pre too. I'm going to say there was some layout "tools" prior to CSS.

Quite interesting to read the specs now, at the time I was just groping around in the dark by myself, learning by reading source of live sites. Would have probably been much easier if I'd known a spec existed!

https://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/book4/ch02.html -- MSIE promise to include CSS Nov '95.

http://marc.merlins.org/htmlearn/html-ref.html#P -- HTML3 spec, I think?, dated 1995. Go up one level to find HTML2 spec.

Further aside: spacer GIFs I never came across until about MSIE4, avoided them myself, too much of a purist. In the Mosaic vs Netscape Navigator days I don't think anyone had started to attempt pixel-matched designs across different UA??
The latter might also be due to extensions

> As a management consultant,

Management consulting is a very different industry than (most) coding for hire.
I'm going to do the math below, but your employer very likely isn't billing highly enough.

Most employees top out billing 80% of time, so 32 hours. Assuming that, you're generating $5280 / week or $21,120 / month. Agencies need to be shooting to bill 3x of _actual_ hourly employee cost (this is target and I can elucidate if people are curious). Therefore your cost needs to be $7040 a month. 20% of your cost is wrapped up in health benefits, vacation time, and other perqs, so your hourly wage will be determined by that figure. Less the cost of perqs your hourly cost will need to be $5632 / month, or $35.20 per hour. That's a salary of about $70,400 per year assuming a 2000 hour year.
If you use the Multi-Account Containers extension, you can set AirBnB to always open in the "Facebook" container so it'd have access to your Facebook cookies.
I think an events like this challenges people's slightly suppressed sense of egalitarian randomness (random egalitarianism?) they favor in place of equality.
If you want a quick rule-of-thumb, all the math above simplifies out to:

annual_salary = 600 * hourly_rate
Yep, I had the same reaction. :)
Also - leave the photograph and come back to it hours or days later. You may get the "what was I thinking" vibe and dial back the sliders :)

After doing that a few times, you'll start making better checks on yourself during actual processing.
If you aren't hitting it hard (hosting more than a few connections) you won't notice much limiting to 1GB RAM... I run a couple projects with MS-SQL docker containers and 1GB limit...

I tend to change the name and port mapping as necessary depending on use, but that's the quickest way to get a server up for MS-SQL... can use SQL Server Management Studio (windows) or Azure Data Studio [1][ (electron, formerly SQL Operations Studio) which is cross platform[2].

As a rule of thumb, I've observed that most businesses charge between 2-4 times as much as the employee is paid for hourly work. So without more information on overhead etc, $41.25 to $82.5 per hour seems fair in your case.

However, it can be a lot worse than that in non-tech locations. Where I live, you often see $60-100 hourly rates in shops where employees are only paid $15/hr. Each business you see on the street supports roughly 1 family, so they might use turnover or other techniques to stay in business for the long term while paying wages that are below the going rate. I'm wary of jobs now that convey a feeling of owing something to the employer, as this correlates with subpar pay. The best jobs that I've had have felt very mutually beneficial to employer and employee.
I wonder if the Israeli government will end up creating their own enemies? Surely at some point some of these spies will defect (money, blackmail, etc) and this creates a blind spot for them?
Measure and "quantifiably measure" are two different things. I agree that performance can and should be evaluated, however, for many jobs that is an intrinsically subjective task.

There's nothing wrong with that. It's just the nature of such roles.

You still evaluate, you just don't boil it down to one "score".
TLDR: this analysis revealed that 14,873 of the 16,625 papers in the study contained the letter "r", allowing the study authors to conclude that many future papers will very likely also contain this same letter.
What was your SC2 alias? I played at a similar level as you.
Oof. I am reasonably sure very very soon there will be a number of very polite but very pointed questions on Apple's desk from concerned lawmakers, data protection authorities and such not only from the USA but the European Union as well about how this happened and what are they doing to make sure this doesn't happen again. I can very well see the European Data Protection Supervisor fining them to some very interesting amount as well.
Or the alternative is not pinging, and instead determining internet connectivity when the device actually needs to use the internet for something.

WTF are you reading? I said that the fact that Snowden can be used as an example is evidence of him accomplishing something. Explicitely to argue against the position that he hasn't accomplished anything. I am in no way arguing that he didn't accomplish anything more.

>Would that be worth ruining your life? I'm asking for your perspective.

Would what be worth ruining my life for? Obviously one doesn't make such personal sacrifices solely for personal gain, so if I'm going to ruin my life, it will be because I feel that it could very well lead to the betterment of many other lives. There's no 'perspective' there to glean. The fact that you would personally not value my sacrifice doesn't really impact that, because frankly, I don't give a shit what you think. You're just some rando with an opinion.

So I actually think the _idea_ sounds interesting, but this is what sticks out to me:

> We’ll invite about 100 people who could use more of a network...

>What have you done so far that shows your potential for greatness, adjusted for whatever life circumstances you were born into?

To do something great that shows potential, you've probably already built a decent network, so I guess the value add is a network with much greater reach? Also, I've met people who've done astounding things "adjusted for life circumstances", but this would never reach their radar.

Can there be a nomination process? I just feel like the people for whom this idea makes sense would never know to apply or might not even find it applicable. Those people need to be sought out, not expected to show up. Regardless, I'd be curious who the final 100 are and how they fit the two criteria above.
