In case anyone isn't aware of the obvious answer it is at least partially because of supply and demand.

More people are considered qualified as elementary school teachers than those qualified for university teaching. Same with nurses and doctors.
As someone who also benefited from the old law, your analysis is dead on. The uncapped SALT deduction was morally indefensible. It makes no sense that earning a billion dollars in San Francisco meant you owe ~$60 million less to the federal government than earning a billion dollars in Seattle.
If I cannot hide from the police, robocallers should not be able to hide from me.
Along with making family life in general easier, a basic UBI program would also be a huge boost to small business ownership, since it acts as a general-purpose safety net in that sort of situation.
If someone really wants to run they can still do so, but the story you hear from everybody who does it is that it's not worth it. You spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder and working petty jobs for cash and living in squalor because the nice places check ID. You also can't contact friends and family anymore. It's a sucky life.
It is up to debate if their disclosure was adequate, but to title a video ”we hired a company” and insist it isn’t a sponsored video, only to then reveal they did in fact not have to pay is not up-front.

It's the misrepresentation of the data, sexual crimes are on the rise because of increased reporting, not necessarily because of increased occurrence.
Think of it in terms of incentives. Under the new tax law:

* Paying state taxes to fund public schools: not deductible.

* Paying private school fees: deductible.

So the new tax law incentivizes private schools over public.

* Paying state taxes to help poor people: not deductible.

* Paying church tithes to help poor people: deductible.

So the new tax law incentivizes religious aid to the poor over public aid to the poor.

It's basically using the tax code to push everyone towards "Republican" values.
We had something similar in France. There was enough people saying and believing that (ethnic) minorities are discriminated for employment to trigger a governmental supported study on the use of anonymous CV. The conclusion was that minorities were even less likely to get an interview with anonymized CV and were actually positivity discriminated against. Authors of study supposed that it is because some issues in the CV are judged less harshly if coming from a minority.
At the same time, there is an underside to this. No one gets to choose their family, and a cultural that presumes familiar support is a cultural that makes life harder for those who happen to be born into dysfunctional or tragic families.

I'd say it's the exact opposite. A culture that does not presume family support is one that feels it unnecessary to lend a helping hand to those without strong family networks to draw upon.

Family support is, for most people, a given -- to pretend it doesn't exist is to deny reality. When someone faces life without it, he can't help but feel a bit cheated. When one considers family help to be unremarkable, then those who succeed without it look all the more exceptional.

Well I was referring to the intersection between the two. Out of all of the potential people to see OP's post here, there is a much higher likelihood of at least one of them containing both the skillset and the motivation required to exploit the information than on other popular aggregators.
I'm also not a fan of property taxes for individuals... It may be impractical, but if someone is able to live on their own, purchased land with no interaction with the outside world, they shouldn't be at risk of losing property for simply continuing to live.
> There are SD cards on Amazon that claim to store 64 GB (or whatever), but they really store a fraction of that, with firmware that lies to the user and corrupts the data they try to store beyond the actual capacity.

I wonder: is it possible for an operating system or filesystem to prevent this from happening?
Is anybody else here still really confused by USB-IF's decisions recently? From what I can tell:

Formerly-USB_3.0 was "USB_3.1 Gen1" is now USB 3.1

Formerly-USB_3.1 was "USB_3.1 Gen2" is now USB 3.2 Gen2

The new thing, which is essentially a double-width now-USB-3.2 Gen2 bus, is USB Gen2x2"

Mix this with a new connector, and we now have:

USB-type-C, but it's actually USB-2.0 in a Type-C connector

USB-type-C Thunderbolt, which is USB-type-C plus Thunderbolt, which can then carry DisplayPort.

USB-type-C:

and probably a million different implementations of power over USB-type-C.

Dear Intel, please keep the Thunderbolt name and numbering scheme!

Thunderbolt (1) (Mini-DisplayPort connector)

Thunderbolt 2 (Mini-DisplayPort connector)

Thunderbolt 3 (uses USB-Type C)

Theirs is so much better.

This applies equally to anything though. You're arguing against taxation as a form of incentive towards rational actors, which is to say that you're arguing against taxation.

Companies can still exit at stage A. I don’t know what the actual probabilities would be, but more funding rounds do not necessarily mean it’s a higher probability of exit.
I can tell you that I own a couple of off-brand devices and a blue Yubico "Security Key".

But rather than specifically recommend things I will tell you what I believe you should care about:

1. Does it actually connect to things you authenticate on? If you always authenticate a Mac Book Pro with only USB C ports, then the USB-A Security Key is stupid because it'd need an adaptor. For physical connections if it shows the connector you can feel comfortable, this isn't 4Gbps video it either works or it doesn't. But for stuff like Bluetooth, find somebody who has actually seen the thing you want to use working.

2. For the primary device (if you don't have them identical) be sure how you are going to carry it. Will it go on your key ring, or in your wallet? If you have to carry an extra device and you're someone who has never owned an umbrella for more than a month, that's futile, they're too tiny to rely on getting them back but too expensive to throw away - pick something you won't lose.

3. Robustness. Again for the primary device, the Yubico key I have (USB-A one) has good reputation here, with people leaving them in jeans pockets through a wash or dropping them onto concrete floors without trouble. Others, even from Yubico, vary, you may be super clumsy or not.

Beyond that there are some technical things you could decide you really care about, hardware bugs, but none of them are exactly show stoppers that I've seen. And there are extra features, that Yubico device I own does FIDO2, which means it could be a true password _replacement_ not only a second factor. But I think that feature has even less chance of taking off than WebAuthn itself, so I didn't rate this in choosing the device.
I've seen this first hand. I was hired into my position straight out of grad school. I noticed one of my colleagues (a black woman) was in a position below mine that paid about $20k less even though she had all the same knowledge and skills that I had. She had a PhD and had done a post-doc while I never even finished my PhD. She's older, more experienced, and better educated, yet somehow not qualified for my position.

I asked my boss about this and he said it was because this was her first real job. When I reminded him that this was also my first real job he just said "that's different" without further explanation.
Well, Room 641A is a form of physical access. They are not yet capable of breaking into any commpany's network from outside.

The slides in the guardian article is pretty vague. The only proven case of NSA inserting a backdoor would have been the DUAL_EC_DRBG algo, and people have been alleging that from the very beginning. IIRC, Bernstein went on further and suggested that the NIST ECC curves may be compromised, but that's far from proven.

Most real life attacks we have seen such as logjam and beast arises from longstanding vulnerabilities that are in no way exclusive to the NSA, but they are probably in a better position to analyse past interceptions once an.exploit has been found.
"experiencing that kind of risk is a massively luxurious thing that the vast majority of people cannot afford"

Have some children and you’ll suddenly lose the urge to waste your money on generosity because you’ll want to funnel every penny of it into your own offspring’s future instead. You feel conflicted because you are possessed by unfulfilled paternal instincts that are being exploited by people who are acting just enough like helpless children that you feel pressured to go along with their implicit demand that you treat them as such. You are currently experiencing frustration over how my comment is unreadably light gray, and that unfairly negatively impacts the likelihood that my comment will be taken seriously.

Calling it theft is like calling gift and church deductions theft but one key difference. State taxes are mandatory. Also if federal spending was equal to the tax revenues generated by the state, blue states could lower their taxes. 16th admendement should have never been repealed as it allowed the federal government to unfairly tax minority party controlled states.

We have a policy that if a bug generates more than 20 support calls in a day, the developer who introduced the bug has to spend the next day in the call center answering support calls. It's not designed as a punishment. It's designed as an eye opener to the effect it has when we don't write proper tests or don't take proper care in making changes.

I'm on the Option B track right now :) And there are a lot of unknowns. But I would say that I'm "learning" more at B then I would at A.

I can't speak for Facebook, Google, but I did work at Amazon for about 5 years (and take this with a grain of salt because this was 2003 through 2008 on the ops side (supply chain specifically)). And you learn the Amazon way of building software. You use Amazon tools, frameworks, and style. And while some of that knowledge is definitely applicable to other jobs I've held, most of it is not. It is a little bit more now because of AWS (similarity between internal tools and AWS offerings).

So yeah...with Option B you might not hit the lottery. But the skills I learned from multiple attempts at Option B are more applicable in my opinion. And that's worth something.

A minimal government can still have rules. It just doesn't have to be how it is today. There were very differing political ideologies from the founding of the US... the government didn't even resemble today's size until we were in the 1900's.
High school, college, any STEM fields are all overwhelmingly biased in terms of favoring women. 57% of college graduates are women. Men are not only getting the short end of the stick but are being told by every voice that they are privileged, it’s their fault, they are bad whereas women have sooooo many extra programs and positive reinforcement to succeed.

No one with a straight face can tell me women in entry level tech programs are not incredibly favored. All my below average coder friends that are women got awesome jobs with high salaries extremely easily. Yes, I talk with them and they agree with what I’m saying.

The actual discrimination against women comes in PhD programs, programs where their success is determined by 1 or 2 superiors (mostly men in advanced research programs), areas with primarily male coworkers, and creepy bosses. The area with most discrimination for women is in non major liberal cities. I went to the Midwest twice and saw more blatant sexism in the workforce than I have my entire life. 2 friends confided that they were asked to trade sexual favors for promotions albeit this was 20 years ago and that was the deciding factor for them moving to the Bay. These things are horrible and I can’t imagime the emotional trauma for that.

However, in the Bay Area and the majority of society the pendulum has swung way too far the other way. I don’t care if people think me sexist, these are my observations over my lifetime from both sides and unlesss convinced otherwise this is what I believe.
"it's unstable, but not that unstable"
Ya nosql can be useful at scale, but it's not a great choice for most new projects. It really locks you into your schema and makes querying the data at scale difficult outside of use cases you originally designed for. I've seen aws architects recommending just starting with sql, and adding nosql later as needed. Definitely agree with this approach for most use cases.

I don't think his argument was directed at women. It was comparing the person who throws their life away to work against someone that chooses to have a life outside of work.

Yes there's cultural context that puts more pressure on women to have a life outside of work, but anyone can choose to have a life outside of work. Shouldn't the company give the most compensation to the person that gives most of their time and energy to their work? I don't want to defend that way of life. I think having a family and life is a good thing, but some people do nothing except work and should probably get more compensation for it.

To me the problem is just that people wrap their entire self worth up into the dollar amount they make. Having a family is usually much more fulfilling than a successful career. I know lots of men and women that have made that chosen family over work and are way happier for it.
One of the reasons why Pre-Scheme was so lovely to use is because when it transpiled to C, the C was highly readable. You could follow the output of the Pre-Scheme compiler and know exactly what it was doing, provided you knew idiomatic C.

From a readability standpoint, the C output of Gambit and Chicken is a hot mess in comparison.
I suspect Whitey Bulger preferred being on the run to the alternative. If someone decides "it's not worth it" and wants to stop running, all they need to do is turn themselves in. Their revealed preferences suggest that they prefer being on the run.

I agree there's no reliable way to value a startup, but that doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and say they're worth nothing. In lieu of any reliable method, the best estimate you have available to you is the company's last private valuation. Though there is wild variation in outcome, on average, VC's do a decent job pricing investments.
Disappointed, but not confused. The USB team has consistently screwed the pooch so it’s not surprising when they do it again.
I have done this several times, moving cross-country via U-Haul. It's easy enough to drive the trucks, even with your car on a trailer behind it. I hire loaders/unloaders based on reviews. You can really save a lot of money doing it yourself, and it's prudent to hire professionals to do the heavy lifting.

Sure, you can run into problems and have a bad experience this way. But the movers my company paid for didn't do such a great job either. On the other hand, the guys the Army sent were amazing.

In theory, yep. In practice, lots of software work is basically an exercise in interpersonal collaboration logistics for which physical colocation is still the most common approach. I've long been hopeful that we'd break out of that model and achieve the geographic redistribution that the parent commenter is hopeful for, but that it hasn't happened yet makes me think there is something more to it than it seems.

What is the probability distribution that startup X will succeed? I'm genuinely asking, I'd love to know how would you approach estimating something like that?
A few years ago I had a few steady clients in DC and so I kept an apartment there. The wife and kids would fly up for a few weeks at a time and enjoy the city. The wife fell in love with DC and wanted to move so we started looking at houses. We met many of the families renting or selling the houses (normally you don't meet the owners when buying but whatever). We could not figure out how the owners were able to buy these homes based upon our estimation of their combined household income based upon their descriptions of their jobs and where they worked. After some time grappling with why we couldn't afford the homes and they could, a real estate agent told us "everyone here has help from their parents, everyone".

To be honest it really pisses me off because I feel like I'm crushing it in my business (blood, sweat & tears) but I can't buy a house in DC because I don't have wealthy parents.
Can confirm, I've gotten my fit up to 115 on the PA turnpike for giggles.
Amount of training required.

I'd be fine with a random anesthesiologist teaching my grade schooler, but I'd hesitate to have a random elementary school teacher giving him anesthesia.

Elementary school teaching: a teaching certificate.

University professor: PhD, pre-tenure work & published research (Note that there are less-qualified people teaching in universities that are compensated much less.)

Nurse practitioner: Master's degree (undergraduate plus 2 years)

Anesthesiologist: Undergraduate + medical degree (4 years) + residency (4 years) + possible specialty training.

Granted if anyone has actual evidence of gender pay discrimination I'm 100% for fighting those battles when they come up, but I'm tired of the same old "Women make 77% what men do!!!!1" headlines and people taking them at full face value.
What does the ideal salary distribution curve look like, anyway? Should it be a bell curve? A long-tail distribution? Should it have distinct peaks, i.e. everyone with the same YOE is paid exactly the same?

Should the salary distribution mirror the talent distribution, or no?
I don't think you need to explain the intricacies of the MESI protocol — just explaining the fact that caches need to be consistent is quite sufficient. Perhaps throw in why they must be consistent. It then becomes clear that the cores need to communicate (somehow) to maintain this consistency if they're touching data within the same cache line.
Does "same work" also include the hours worked? Usually not. If someone completes x projects in y hours, and someone else completes the same x projects in z hours, are they the same? Both did "the same work," but one was more efficient and did it faster (presuming the quality of the work by both parties was equal).
Well, thanks. But using your service doesn't feel like "fighting the law". It's just
