To be clear, I'm referring to a giving economy. Bartering/exchange isn't free giving...it's giving with an expectation/obligation for a return gift.

We're going to try the money-less route, first, to see how things go & possibly bring in money down the line. The main issue is many people have developed really deeply entrenched scarcity mindsets when dealing with money, so providing a money-free economy of free giving can serve as a space for people to operate free from triggering their scarcity.

Having written that, I realize I just made a case for allowing money because some people have a need to learn how to freely engage with money. For me, my desired strategy for dealing with my triggers is to practice triggering myself and disentangling the trigger to find its root & heal it (usually by modifying my beliefs). That would mean having a safe place to practice using it, like in a gift economy.

Thanks so much for your comment! We hit the <1%!! I recently started healing my relationship with money & I think this'll be a great way for me to create a healing playground for money.

As for the giver search, I don't think the design is going to require so much interaction. I'm applying a new theory of mindful design to it, which is about respecting attention, being mindfully usable, preserves connection, and responsibly uses emotions. The site is meant to require as little attention to it as possible to be useful, so when you make a request, bots take over to get things moving. Or so I imagine. That's just one thought; the project idea's days old. Besides, when gifts are given freely, things can move really smoothly.
Total includes bonus and equity (which makes up the bulk of it, especially in later years). So some of the increases are also just reflecting increases in GOOG from grant to vesting.

I'm a software engineer. My impression is that pay for PMs (product managers) is very similar, although I couldn't say for sure. Not sure about other positions. And for QA specifically, I believe a lot are hired through a vendor so I imagine it would be very different.

I don't know if I have particularly useful advice. I think honestly it's a mix of happening to be good at what I do, working hard, and being in the right place at the right time (both in terms of ending up Google and being on the teams/projects that I did which helped me rise quickly).

The only thing I would say is that I very much did not go in expecting this or with the idea of optimizing for it. When I joined at the end of 2007, Google was already post-IPO and it wasn't clear (to me at least) that there was "big bucks" to be made there. At that time, it seemed like going into finance or to a startup was the way to go to optimize for that, and I thought I was leaving a bunch on the table picking Google over those. I do think it helped working with the mindset of doing what I truly enjoyed instead of "doing it for the money".
Also somewhat off-topic, their backend is written in Haskell and on GitHub. Not terribly relevant for the end user, but I found it an interesting choice.
This argument is nonsense. Perhaps they should robocall me to tell me as well?

If I want to be notified about anything (except emergencies) I should have to explicitly opt into it.
There's a fascinating youtube channel called X-Pilot that does videos on flight incidents/disasters. The creator gathers a lot of really interesting info and does a brief step by step recreation of the incident in a simulator, and then explains what the regulatory bodies did as a result.

Often in-flight recordings are included. Some of which are quite frightening.

Here's the one on the Rudder issue mentioned in the post: https://youtu.be/ochby0LiGfM
Maybe he simply isn't that confident in that opinion to state it so bluntly. I agree with the "reading between the lines" interpretation that this guy probably thinks facebook is a bad thing. But, thinking that, and coming out strongly with that position while holding such an influential position are two very different things.

If I had such influence I'd certainly be hesitant to just go all guns blazing, and I'm someone that strongly believes social media (primarily facebook) is a serious threat to civilized society.
Interviews should be a good experience, and I’m sorry we failed at that for you - it certainly wasn’t our intention
I would (and have) paid more for an ebook than the physical book.

As I've shuffled my physical possessions back and forth over the years and realized the toll they've taken, I'm happy with virtual books.

That said, I would really like to be able to copy and paste a quote once in a while, but DRM makes copy/paste a no-no.
Ethiopian has ~100 planes flying around on any given day, and hasn't had a serious crash in 9 years. Presumably the skill of their pilots and maintenance crews is pretty similiar across MAX and non-MAX planes.

If their maintenance crew and pilots were solely to blame, I would expect to see a good deal more Ethiopian planes crashing.

Of course, it could be (and maybe even is likely) that a properly trained maintenance crew won't let the AoA sensor fly in a bad state. And of course it could be (and maybe even is likely) that a properly trained pilot will be able to correct the issue in flight.

But that doesn't pass the blame. The truth is that Ethiopian pilots and maintenance crews seem totally capable of keeping the rest of their planes in the air. Why has Boeing made a plane that is so much harder for them to fly safely? Is there any argument that the MAX is easier or safer to maintain/fly than the other planes Ethiopian flies?
I find it to still be funny...
You hear all the time about how there's thousands of tons of high level radioactive waste and that sounds scary and huge but really when you're talking about the scale of an entire country that's absolutely peanuts. I do think the way we handle nuclear waste in America needs to be overhauled but even just deep burial in long term casks would be sufficient. The only chance of someone accidentally digging one up is contingent on such a massive loss of knowledge and continuity of society that it would have to be an apocalyptic event.

But if you're interested in other approaches that could be taken nuclear waste is primarily U-238 and Plutonium. Rather than bury it all the waste can be reprocessed to extract usable fuel and depleted Uranium from the waste which reduces the amount of waste to deal with by about 90%. Another thing commonly repeated is that nuclear waste has a half life of tens of thousands of years. This is wrong, isotopes have half lives, nuclear waste does not. Nuclear waste is a toxic soup of different isotopes, some short lived, others long lived. As the isotopes spontaneously fission the concentrations in the waste change. 10kg of nuclear waste on day 1 is immensely more radioactive than 10kg of nuclear waste on day 1,000,000. Fresh nuclear waste has substantially higher amounts of short lived isotopes which is why when spent fuel is removed from a reactor it has to be stored in a cooling pond for a long time before it can be stored in a cask. Radioactivity has an inverse relationship with the half live, short lived isotopes are extremely radioactive and extremely long lived isotopes are barely radioactive.

If you wanted to go further than just reducing the amount of waste you can actually burn up waste so to speak. If you bombard it with tons of neutrons (like from a fusion reactor hopefully in the long term) you either split the fissile isotopes or breed them into a different isotope.

Just by processing our waste we could split the waste into stuff that has a short half life that you would just let decay naturally, stuff that has a long half life that can be buried without any real concerns about someone building a dirty bomb with it, and stuff in between that could potentially be burned up in a reactor or just buried in more secure facilities like what Yucca mountain was supposed to provide.
It doesn't have to deal with streaming. You stream your data, use whatever algorithm and pass the final output to this. It is just going to transform it into the API that ChartJS expects.
DRM free doesn't mean the reader software lets you take advantage of it.
I can confirm this.

I'm also curious if anyone in this topic has advice for how to make U2F a habit. I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19316509, but didn't get anything. :(

Cab companies weren't mom and pop shops, though (at least not in the sense you're getting at). In fact, obtaining a medallion was a substantial investment ($1M+ in some cases[1]). It's not particularly difficult to make the argument that scooters are a niche market at best.

I understand what you are saying, and when you sell stock that vests it is completely reasonable to count it as income as it shows up on your W2.

My point was that just prior to the dot com crash I had over $6M in "RSUs" (well restricted stock which was a better deal since the number can't be fudged but what ever) and when it "vested" it was worth less than $12K. It showed up on my W2 because I used an 83b election to vest it all up front (and get in on a lower tax rate when it unlocked) only to have it generate losses when it unlocked.

Where I was going was that there is 'base pay' which you are going to get if you show up every day and don't get fired, and there is 'variable pay' which can come in the format of annual bonuses and or vesting equity. The annual bonuses tend to be something of a beauty contest and so can be hard to predict, and the market can swing wildly (hopefully nobody with RSUs today has to experience a 99.9% drop in value that I did during the dot com crash but it can happen, you could have had Theranos RSUs for example).

The original author went out of their way to stick with just base pay and I understood their reasons for doing so as I largely agree with them on the lack of predictability of other remuneration options.

Facebook doesn't sell data either. They monetize it just the same as google
I agree. I am not good at the stock market.
Perhaps they're true but since non citizens and dead people vote left overwhelmingly it gets shrugged off by leftist media and leftist tech site commenters?
No, I don’t mean to say that at all. The beauty of Uber is that it stitches together multiple markets on both the supply side of the marketplace and the demand side. For both small, medium, and large distances, riders know they will have a car and drivers know they will have a fare.

Bird investors failed to consider that this isn’t true for scooters. Each catchment area is isolated from the next.
I’m not saying this is something you can change tomorrow. It could be months, could be years. Really depends on how quickly you can learn the business you are involved in and where you are starting from. I don’t know you or your situation so this advice is extremely general. Focus on what the problems are your business/clients have which cost them money or find a way to answer a question like “if we do this it costs X and we make Y.” Make sure you drive those types of initiatives and get your name attached to them but that doesn’t always mean doing it alone.

The posts are pretty easily searchable and even if you don’t find the ones I’m thinking of, the process of searching and filtering on its own is important. One thing I had to learn the hard way is that, with a few rare exceptions, no one is going to be your teacher/mentor. Everyone is too busy with their own shit.

Ultimately, if you want to know more or make more, it comes down to finding ways to justify that to the people that can make that decision. Given you make around $85k/year you need to look at the people several years ahead of you in the career track, if one exists, at your company.

If your goal is to make more, you need to be aggressive. Invest in yourself in as many ways as you can. Learn more about software. Start by expanding beyond “web developer”. learn back-end programming, databases, etc. Talk to the people in your company that do sales, marketing, operations, HR. Learn as much as you can about your business or one you want to move into. Experience trumps everything. If you aren’t getting experience that makes you more valuable, you need to move on.

My last piece of advice is more of a warning. A lot of how much you make comes down to luck. Did the interviewer like you for the highly paid job? Did the team you are a part of get the credit for a major win for the company? Or other things that aren’t always within your control. The important thing is that you keep moving forward. Looking for opportunities and driving things to completion. Hard for me to not phrase this in terms of finance...you want to constantly be buying call options on yourself. So that new thing you learn/project you complete that gets your name out there? It is a call option on yourself. Most of those options expire worthless, but hopefully a few pay off big time.
Is this necessary for newer installs? Pretty sure the titan keys and the yubikey I have worked without any special setup on the latest ubuntu.
You might be right but consider how 10% would mean their typical sites have 10 users per month on average. I'm struggling to imagine ~50 million running a blog that no one -- not even their friends and family -- is visiting.

Even 1% active non-spam blogs, meaning 100 visitors per site per month on average, seems unlikely to me.
Most of my friends that still smoke will straight up tell you the only reason they do it is for the social interactions that happen while smoking. I don't think it's that different.

My Database: Is It Serverless? An Opinionated Checklist
Disagree. The general concept is the same - "Where can you collapse states into one". Someone who understands DP well should find tree DP natural, and might even come up with it themselves without learning about it beforehand. I'm not sure what you mean by string operations - most string DP problems don't require special treatment.

I agree that there are significant approach differences. However, the high level approach of:
1. Find a DP state that allows you to collapse states.
2. Find DP state transitions
3. Solve the problem

is constant among problems. The most common complaint I've heard about interview problems is that they relied on some "trick" to solve - DP problems don't have these tricks.
Maybe entertainment is a better label? I was confused too.
Coffee Kickstarter Doesn’t Deliver
I’m in CA but for two weeks they gave me an X while my S was in their shop waiting on parts. This was before the model 3 though.
I'm reminded of Meet the Parents ("I have nipples Greg. Can you milk me?")

I'm sure my parents' Caprice station wagon had more volume. That's also not an SUV.

But car categories are definitely blurring these days. A lot of so-called SUVs just look like cars with the roof bulged up a few inches and a juice to the ride height. It's weird. The BMW X6 is an ugly abomination in my book ("let's take a car, and just... inflate it a bit, yeah?")
I don't care about seeing other people's comments, but I'd like to be able to prevent people seeing my comments on other peoples' posts unless it is a mutual friend or something. No matter what it is I comment on, a news article, or a group post, and my dad (and I am sure other FB friends) see it even if we aren't connected to the same groups and sites.
Been using steam since 2011 and I've never seen an OS level notification about ... anything. There's a window that pops up with information about current deals when you open Steam (after it's been completely closed), perhaps that's what you're thinking of?
Google managed to put one together in a little over a day: https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/storage/19002.
Can I, though? I asked https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19316509 to see if there was a way to build a habit out of my security token. Not only did I not get responses there, but I haven't actually found that many places that support using a u2f token. There are an some that support it ok, but all require me to use chrome and none seem to support using it at least once a day. (Or anything like that.)
How often do you expect it to happen?

Realistically you should factor in not having a car for any car purchase simply because your car could get totalled at any trip. But I find it surprising that parts and service could take so long. Being a BMW service center surely replacing parts is core to their job. I can get parts faster on my own.
I'm in So Cal. My S got backed into - repair of quarter and door panels took about 6 weeks.

For annual service and repairs, it's been pleasant for me. Granted, it takes a while to get the appointment now, but they've always given me a loaner that's often nicer/newer than mine (or $700 Lyft credit one time), so I haven't minded delays. Mobile service has also been great, responsive and very convenient.

Contrast that to the Mercedes dealership. Every time we take in our warrantied SUV, I feel like they're trying to take us for every penny they can - very unpleasant.
> The larger tech companies in Melbourne and Sydney are giving $120k+ AUD total comp to grads

Which larger tech companies?

I'm self employed and have worked 100% remote for around 5 years, so am a bit out of touch. However, I have close friends in senior positions at major tech companies in Melbourne (REA, Xero etc.) and $120k for grads sadly does not align with what I've heard from them, closer to $70k (AUD) for a grad seems to be the norm.

I can’t answer your question without giving away more information than I’m comfortable with.
I’m waiting on a fender, a door, and a bottom trim, and I’m at about a month total in middle-of-nowhere Midwest. Luckily, I can drive the (heavily dented) car until parts come in, but if the car can’t be driven then you’re stuck with the rental your insurance provides.
Could any of these problems be at least partially fixed by randomising how the choices are displayed in the input UI and on the printouts?
'many people': every product was down, completely, for everyone, afaik.
The problem isn't a cost/benefit analysis. It's the (perhaps straw man) cost/benefit analysis (quoted from Fight Club) that optimizes solely for (short-term) profit, ignoring the intrinsic value of human lives (as well as company reputation / future sales, regulatory compliance, etc). This is immoral, and we need to know if it's what Boeing has done.

Here's an altruistic way to do a cost/benefit analysis. Optimize for safety. Consider money as a means to an end. If the airplane is prohibitively expensive or your company goes bankrupt, people will use some other (presumably less safe) form of transportation instead. You have to limit price. You might be able to pay for a recall yourself once in a while, but you have to sell products at a profit on average, take subsidies, or close shop. So no, you can't spend an infinite amount on diminishing safety gains.

Okay, altruism is too much to expect from a for-profit company, but we should expect better than total short-sighted greed/psychopathy. Maybe we should expect (by "expect" I mean "require/demand", not "naively assume") enlightened self-interest and long-term thinking?
You should read these ASRS reports: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5766398-ASRS-Reports...

ASRS reports describing similar incidents and complaints about insufficient training and incomplete manuals. It looks like Boeing was able to get 737-Max pass as 737-NG variant without good differences training and better manuals.
Yes, there's a ton of DP problems that require clever tricks. I've had to show these tricks to friends who believed that DP problems were too formulaic.

Could you give an example of DP problems that show up in interviews that require problem-specific tricks? I'm contrasting DP problems with other interview questions like: Find whether a linked list has a cycle in O(1) memory or implement a queue with 2 stacks.

No, black people need to stop complaining about everything, if this guy or whatever it is was worth enough to his company he would get the money he deserve. Nobody owe any information to anyone, and I will ignore your preferred pronouns.

Hey Benjamin--

Congrats on Nala. I've been building digital money/crypto apps and platforms since 2013: Uphold, Airtm, among others.

I have some ideas that you might find interesting/helpful:

1. Have you considered offering non-native assets that are superior stores of value than local fiat, such as USD? Airtm has been doing that for the past 3 years in LatAm and we have an easy-to-integrate API that would allow you to offer USD pay-ins/outs via your platform.

2. Airtm also enables P2P exchange between local money and airusd and by extension any two local currencies. Since you are representing multiple assets in one place (as I understand the product) that might be interesting for those holding multiple currencies.

3. Airtm could offer very low-cost USD remittance directly to your users in USD from the US (this month) and all of the EU (next month). So Nala users could recieve USD with Airtm, offboard as local money as needed.

4. I'm leading an effort to build an open source system of smart contracts for P2P crypto/fiat (and by extension fiat<=crypto=>fiat exchange (air protocol) which would enable Nala to offer its own P2P fiat/fiat exchange without relying on Airtm directly.

Please reach out when you have some time. I'd love help you guys grow.

Congrats again.

Regards,

Tim
Apparently, the two are related. From the post,

For me at least, there was little correlation between level and pure number of hours worked. In general, I probably worked the most hours in the first year, mostly because I was just out of college and didn't know any better. These days, I would say I probably average around ~50 hours a week.

But there is definitely more "stress" as you go up levels. You have more responsibility, the problems get harder and more ambiguous, more people issues to deal with, etc. Part of me misses the "L3/L4 me", when all I really had to do was come in, work on relatively scoped technical problems, and not worry about a lot else. But I think I'd also probably feel bored after a while if I somehow managed to went back to that.
