Here is my simple strategy. It doesn't work perfectly, but it increases the probability that I will answer an important call and let an unimportant call go to voice mail.

I change the ringtone for everyone on my contact list to be different from the default ringtone. I do it when I create the contact. That's it. Two ringtones: they're a contact or they aren't.

When I hear my phone ringing in the other room, in my pocket with friends, on the bus, I know whether I may be interested in either taking the call immediately or listening to the voice mail fairly soon.

For one added level of differentiation, I use a very few other special ringtones:
-- one that sounds like knocking on the door when I receive a call or text from Amazon or UPS and other delivery services
-- a strident one when my doorbell rings (in my apartment complex, the exterior doorbell calls a phone)
-- immediate family has a different one

His advise is only smart if the salary you'd be giving up is unnecessary and you consider it a luxury to lock into an investment you may lose.

In fact, that's exactly what it is, whenever you're taking stock options into account for compensation be sure to consider how big of an investment (in loss of salary) it is and whether the potential payout and the risk seem logical. If you think that making that big of an investment is too risky for your well being (even if, in the average, it'd pay out better over a lot of plays) then don't take it.

We exist for a limited amount of time and large games of chance like this (even if they have an expected return) are not irrational to decline.
Also, number of years worked does not dictate how good of an engineer you are.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted for this. My in-laws have this feature on their landline from their local telco. Completely annoying, but I don't want to talk to them anyway.
There are also jumpers for configuring where it gets the boot loader, so when I did happen to put a bad build into the SPI flash, it was possible to recover by using the SD card.

I'll have to revisit the TianoCore build as my previous attempts to use it were miserable failures. I assume due to the fact that my OS isn't arranged in such a way as to support EFI booting.

I would love to get it up and running as my gut feeling is that running on a platform that less than 0.0000001% of users are using insulates you from almost all automated attacks I'd encounter on the internet. The only thing I'd feel more secure using would be a Talos PowerPC based system, but those are out of my budget.
To use a sports analogy: Two people could each have 5 years of experience playing baseball, but one is in a AAA league and the other plays for an MLB team. Years of experience doesn't necessarily say anything about actual skill.
So then what is the issue here. I'm hearing "no the issue is that the data was looked at wrong and they really do discriminate against women".

Now I'm hearing that "it doesn't matter that there are significant numbers of both underpaid women and underpaid men" from you.

I guess it's not very clear to me what you think the issue is here.

I think what they're saying is that 99.9% of programmers don't need to know why, they just need to know that streaming access is 2-3x faster than random even without any memory stalls.

That's precisely right. Calculating EV of a lottery ticket is easy, because you know the odds exactly. The idea that a "smart person" can do the same for an early-stage startup that's offering options to employees simply beggars belief.
From what I've seen, Google is just a different technology stack.

Much of what you've done at other companies, other on the Microsoft stack or open-source stack, doesn't transfer. Little of your tooling experience matters.

While you can jump from one Linux-and-Python-and-git-and-JIRA-based startup to another and hit the ground running, you'll be spending months ramping up at Google unless you've worked there before.

I'm not saying this is justified, especially when it comes to other ladders like graphic designers (where you see the same thing happening), but there does seem to be a certain logic to it.

They're considering the possibility that CNTs pose specific health concerns (kind of like asbestos from what I understand), which would create quite a few regulatory changes in both production and usage.

Thanks for the tip! I've heard that Molecular Rebar and Black Diamond Structures have a great process to untangle and purify CNTs. I believe their business model is to buy low cost CNTs from other producers and upgrade them with their process. Maybe there's an opportunity for collaboration.
Taxes. Income tax is owed on the value of whatever is granted. If an option is granted with a strike price equal to the fair market value for the stock, then there's no income tax owed. This is also the reason it's important the company chose FMV in a way that wont get disputed later. Because back taxes and penalties are a bear.

Some do grant RSUs (restricted stock units), which are usually taxable as income when you receive them.

Depends:

> Historians Alan Macfarlane and Peter Laslett postulated that nuclear families have been a primary arrangement in England since the 13th century. This primary arrangement was different than the normal arrangements in Southern Europe, in parts of Asia, and the Middle East where it was common for young adults to remain in or marry into the family home. In England multi-generational households were uncommon because young adults would save enough money to move out, into their own household once they married. [...]

> Critics of the term "traditional family" point out that in most cultures and at most times, the extended family model has been most common, not the nuclear family,[26] though it has had a longer tradition in England[27] than in other parts of Europe and Asia which contributed large numbers of immigrants to the Americas. The nuclear family became the most common form in the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s.[28]

> women specifically shouldn't have to look at having children as the end of their career, or at least their career advancement

Why not? All choices have consequences. Nobody can really "have it all." I (a male) have definitely made work choices that limited my income and advancement so I could have more time to spend on things involving kids and family.
Definitely not the Boomers that did Prop 13. Prop 13 was passed in 1978, when the oldest boomers were 32 and the youngest 14. Not many owned houses then.

This was passed by voters of earlier generations. Look at the two leaders of the movement, Howard Jarvis (born 1903) and Paul Gann (born 1912).

Most Boomers were opposed to it b/c they could easily foresee the cuts to social services and education that were coming.

It is not a 1:1 ratio though as it really only lowers your taxable income. I agree that it should be limited but states should be incentivized to not need the federal government for much.

This is a very interesting data driven article that will make you depressed. I recommend it.

> Technological solutions, like electronic anklets that monitor an individual’s whereabouts, are another option. Even sending text-message reminders to show up in court makes it more likely that a defendant will do so. All these options are cheaper than incarceration.

I hope this gains popularity. Cash bail discriminates against the poor and is unfairly applied (see article); using technological tracking, check-ins, and similar might be a fairer solution that can be applied uniformly.

I would like to say on a more general note: The influence of money in US criminal justice seems to corrupt everything it touches. From prisons, to parole, to representation, to sentencing, and beyond. Everything we can do to get money's influence out of criminal justice we should do.
Plastics break down into smaller microplastics in the sun. On land they collect more sun then when partially or totally submerged in the ocean. Rain then washes these microplastics from landfills into ground water.

Plastic in the ocean is a huge problem, but it's not the only source of microplastics, and it might not even be the largest.

Agreed. That is definitely a problem that needs some attention. There is a big research effort going on at the Department of Energy "Enabling Extreme Fast Charging" that is providing funding for solutions to fast charging from the battery performance end and from the charging infrastructure ends.

The power of varying sentence length
Well written content. However, I am not sure if thoroughly complete. The whole article covers areas of shortcomings related to understanding the problem, designing the structure and building it. But fails to address "upgrading current solution" or "optimizing the current solutions" that suits the current market needs.
It doesn't make you weird, but unfortunately may put you in the minority of developers. There is a balance to be struck. Business can drive really bad technical decisions (debt) due to time/people constraints that take decades to remove. This may be needed simply to get the company going or stay going (see most startup MVPs). Those decisions need to be intentional and strategic, otherwise it becomes the norm, and your entire company gets bogged down in supporting "legacy" systems. On the other extreme, a "perfect" solution can never be delivered so it's kind of hard to sell.

My anecdotal experience is that these trade offs are rarely consciously made, instead made by who ever has political power at the time.
One word: Union.

Unionize and wage equity magically disappears.
> Globalization means that any job that doesn't need to be performed inside the US will likely leave the US.

Sounds like over-rationalization to me. Tech jobs don’t need to be done in the US for obscene amounts of money, yet they are.
They're encouraging them to use a specific form of taxation. Income tax is not especially optimal for a number of reasons, but that's not the point. The federal government simply shouldn't be pushing the states into preferring one style of taxation over another unless it has a good reason to - which they don't.
Colour me crazy, but it might show a bit of maturity not wanting to dedicate an unreasonable amount of time to work.

I would likely trust that person's rational more than the go-getter-at-all-costs.

What's life for, anyway?
You can actually see this in Google's H1B filings. It doesn't list gender but the range for the same titles is crazy.
I can't say if they're universal, but they are definately standard. In my apartment the main rooms have them, basically anywhere a central ceiling light would be placed. Areas like kitchen,bathroom and entrance have recessed lighting with Edison screw bases for the lightbulbs.

It was fairly dark in the first few days in my unfurnished apartment until my light fixtures arrived.

I've noticed the same type lighting in four 'furnished' apartments I previously stayed in.
Automation: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver [video]
> Doctor's office calling to confirm your appointment; restaurant confirming a seat reservation; delivery guy is outside and can't find your doorbell; Lyft/Uber/whatever is nearby and is looking for you; pharmacy calling to inform about a prescription being ready; some store calling to inform that your order is ready to be picked up; insurance company calling about some claim; etc.

The problem is phone number that is short and easy to guess. Imagine replacing them with a longer token that would be generated each time you want to give someone else a way to contact you (e.g. displaying a QR barcode on your phone and letting the other party scan it). Then you'd share a unique identifier with all that parties. Delivery guy can get a token that expires after a while. If someone abuses their ability of contacting someone, the token would get revoked.

I leave the details and implementation as an exercise for the reader ;)
I don't see how that is relevant. We should not take into account the size of dependant family members. In our field, our jobs should be flexible enough to accommodate anyone, with paid leave, sick leave, flexible schedules. We should also end gender/race/etc discrimination, and that means being more proactive about getting our culture to change, which often means having some affirmation action in order to break the cycle.

> I want the top speed to be 60, and it never goes faster

My (otherwise terrible) 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid did this. It would brake (thereby recharging its battery and improving mileage) whenever the speed went above the cruise-control setting -- usually due to hills, not due to over-zealous automated acceleration.

I suspect most electric and hybrid cars do the same today, but I have no data and have not googled it.

You should really use both, however they are only a tool: I don't have any numbers but I imagine Sanitizers have a good detection rate, but one should still write code defensively. There are too many horror stories, be they lethal or expensive, to be risky about memory.

Not a kernel developer: Can you test Kernel code with a sanitizer (if that sanitizer doesn't work in a compiled kernel) by compiling into and using the code as blob in userspace code with mocks (Or whatever, unless it's just utility that doesn't need anything other than an interface)?

Did you have any you were thinking of? You're the one that made a specific claim - that taxes reduce pre-tax income levels. I see no evidence in support of that, and a lot of circumstantial evidence that cuts against it.

You seem angry, you're right, we don't really get a say in the matter.

I also can't say if authoritarianism leads to economic revival, only that revival happened in spite of authoritarianism. In the same way that the Philippines has not done much economically in spite of democracy.

I can't say if it's worth it in the end, maybe the fisherman in Thailand is happier. But I'm grateful for the life I live. I've traveled around Asia, I've seen the developed and the non-developed, and I would prefer economic power over the latter.
This ends up a perfect example of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

The run-up to the tax cuts proved they didn't really care much about making the cut even close to revenue neutral (not that many tax cuts are, but...) except for folks who don't have favored status in their political philosophy - see also, the attempt to tax PhD tuition waivers.
From [2], above: (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50–0.998, P = .049)

Yowzers -- just squeaked by on that one, didn't they. Given the unknowns around dropouts, I would be frankly astonished if these results stood up. It mainly looks like the "speed" category dubiously "benefited" from a higher death rate; the ~20 excess deaths in that subset can neatly account for ~2 additional cases that drives significance to random-chance levels again.

In addition, the meta-analysis seems to indicate that only memory-based interventions work, while the individual study linked showed differently. Hopefully as pre-registration becomes mandatory it should become clearer how many of these studies were abandoned because of null results.
That is one part of the picture. This situation is so complex that I don't believe everybody has actually figured out all the important parts to study in the first place.
Something is wrong here, why is the probability of exit is lower for C than for B stage and B stage lower than for A stage company?
It's so they can make the employees pay the taxes later, rather than paying taxes up front as most companies do for RSUs.

As an employee, you want RSUs, not options.
I don't think that's the case. 2/3rds fail, 2/9ths return a small multiple, 1/9th return a substantial multiple to a typical decent VC. Valuing the shares at half the most recently priced round puts them into a quite reasonable range, IMO.

Lower speed rating also usually means lighter construction and a 'harder' compound, both of which reduce cost and improve fuel milage.

what does poor people not being able to afford to get speeding tickets have anything to do with this conversation? should the OP not drive his car in the way that he wants to because of the price of speeding tickets?

should people in wyoming, with access to long stretches of highway with little traffic, not be able to drive their vehicles in the way they want to because manhattan doesn't have highways and has lots of traffic?

whats your point?
Not everybody is underpaid, but among the underpaid, they found men as well as women.
As random illustration, they might pay 200k+-5% to 80% of all level X developers, and the other 20% might only earn 150k+-5%.

I still agree that 'underpaid' is a difficult term here. Maybe the 80% are overpaid? The only hard fact in this example would be that the salary is more skewed than it should be for a 'fair' compensation.
That's the explanation when men get paid more than women.

When women are getting paid more than men, there are no known explanations beyond sexism. Especially at Google who notoriously fired Damore for stating that maybe men and women have different preferences - it's pretty clear from the article, biased though it is, that the issue here is really Google managers systematically awarding pay increases to women rather than men, in order to try and boost their numbers.
Those with median income will get subsidies on ACA though. IIRC, subsidies were available for household incomes less than ~$110K in my state, and the subsidies grow the lower your income is.

Not disagreeing that it's expensive though. Basic healthcare should be universal, like fire and police protection.
Personally I prefer analog.

I think its mainly down to analog giving you feedback as to whether you're increasing or decreasing in speed. If I'm approaching a speed camera in a 30mph zone, a glance at an analog speedo, and peripheral vision to confirm it isn't increasing is enough. Digital I need at least 2 full readings.

Plus you have a spacial element to analog speedos. I know where 30mph is, I don't need to read 30mph.
It also forces individual home owners into a corner. Anecdotally, I have a friend who bought in the 90s for peanuts and now his house is easily worth more than a million dollars.
