> Current company knows his worth

Or... they think they do. "Current company" is too amorphous. Direct manager and team mates may know value, but it's harder to make that judgement (or to believe someone making the case for it) when you're not in the trenches with that team.

May also be a situation where the new company is actually able to extract more value from the person than the previous company.

There's a lot of assumptions going on in some of the replies here. Old company is going down the pan - regardless of how much value an individual can bring, if the company is incapable of translating that in to market value, you'll never get the raise (and may not have a job soon). New company - taking the same person with the same skills - may be able to extract much more market value from that same person.
Very interesting. Are you in a digital creative field or traditional creative field?
That sounds pretty cool. What does the DNA file storage product look like? Will the customer receive like a vial of DNA? Sorry for my ignorance, I think that's a really interesting topic. I know its probably only visible under a microscope but I'd be curious how its packaged.

Yes, they used the Latin word with the closest meaning. It is the same etymology as "order" in English. They come up with a lot of official words for things, but in the streets a lot of them are ignored. Some stick in some regions while brands or borrowed words are used in some other region.

The ironic aspect is that the closer you get to Paris (seat of the a Académie), the more borrowed words are used. In Quebec, even this close to the USA, there isn't all that much borrowed words beside pieces that are directly imported from the US such as automobile parts and tools (because until the 70's, the labels were in English only).

Zion and Neo are control mechanisms in the Matrix, they are used to control the one called Smith. They are in the Matrix when they think they have left. The human batteries story is just a b/s narrative. The best proof of this is Neo's ability to control the machines outside of the Matrix in the supposed real world.
In plenty of school across American, teachers do teach the equivalent of standing in the back of the room and playing youtube videos.

I wonder what it would take to eliminate all plastic bottles and candy wrappers at the source. I'm sure such a suggestion would be met with incredulity, but we survived half the 20th century without them - paper cartons and wrappers worked just fine. Look at the noisy reactions to the plastic bag ban - and yet nearly everyone who lives in such area now says it's great and they prefer it. Can it be done?
This is the correct approach.

There is a very simple reason your employer doesn't give big raises to existing employees: they know that a year ago, you were happy with your salary. Why would you want a 30% raise today, no matter what the outside market says? You were fine last month, what changed between you and the employer? Nothing.

Of course, long term, if the market goes up a lot, people will be underpaid and eventually leave. If the market moves up, do use the parent's phrasing. Don't interview (too aggressive). Just state the fact that the market has moved and you want to stay.

I Interviewed with them about two years ago, mainly bc I was looking for interviewing ideas for the team I directed.

The interview was good, but they definitely asked about CS fundamentals, and funnily they rejected me because I did not know enough of them hehe.

I held no grudges, because I wasnt tried to get somewhere, but I find hard to believe that someone without a CS degree will pass their interviews.
I think the pace they throw the ball at has to have something to do with it now too. Just in the last several years the number of pitchers throwing above 95 and above 100 seems to have dramatically increased.

This page suggests the number of 95+ mph fastballs more than doubled in 10 years: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-fast-fastball-isnt-en...

It could be that making it easier to throw tricky off speed pitches would take the load off of arms (and add some fun variety to the game).
To add a third perspective where you're both wrong and unlucky.

People on HN do better jobs because many live in the major tech cities, where there are more and better jobs. In big part linked to the big companies and the high cost of living.

In most cases of raises, the employee could have got much better by moving to somewhere else. It's easier to give a few percent raise per year or one time than it is to match the 50-100% raise that high performer could get.

If you change jobs often enough, you will eventually end up in a good company with a good pay, where you can stay.
> Where do all of those people come from?

Mostly (though not exclusively) from high-paying high-cost of living US metropolitan areas.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and raced the same track over and over something like 1000 times on a game to get enough money to buy the fanciest car in the game rather than building my skills enough to do races where I would actually make decent money on each race and only have to do 5 or ten to buy said car.

The produce bags at my supermarket are significantly smaller than the (normal-sized) grocery bags -- they can hold maybe 4 green peppers or large potatoes. (I've seen other supermarkets with much larger produce bags, but not at my local ones.)

They just don't hold enough volume to be useful as even small trash bags, on top of which they don't have handles so you have to use the top 1/3 of the bag to tie off, which makes them even smaller.

So they're too small to line even a small trash can with, or to hang from inside a cabinet door.
...daycare program.

But it doesn't have to be this way. And that's what makes it so sad. One look at an 8th grade primer (math, language arts, geography, history, any will do) from the late 19th Century or early 20th Century and it is clear American public education took a very wrong turn somewhere along the line.

Much of the animal kingdom has the same issue of painful childbirth. What you mean by "handle", I can only guess. Perhaps something about recovery and a desire repeat.
It's very common for companies to give a cost of living raise in line with inflation, which is effectively just maintaining your salary at the current "purchasing power".

Actual real terms raises that mean you can buy more are quite rare, especially outside of tech. Usually the only way to get a real raise is by changing job, either through promotion or by moving to a different company.
The kid from the $50K/year high school got an education for that price (albeit expensive) and got in through his/her own work & dedication (you could say that the expensive high school "paid off"). That kid is supposed to be competent, since he got in through merit.

Let’s build the planned Caltrain tunnel into downtown SF and BART tunnel into downtown SJ so the impact on the housing market is distributed more widely and people from more backgrounds can afford to commute to these centers of economic growth.

> However, hasn't Google reviews pretty well made Yelp irrelevant at this point?

If it were a race to rate everything as close to 5/5 as possible, yes. Google, Facebook, and Tripadvisor are all winning that race.

Yelp typically has lower ratings and is easier to filter/search.

It's far from the perfect platform, but certainly less astroturfed than the others.

Life is all about minimizing tax obligations.

Most people don't know about the tax minimization strategies (e.g. Puerto Rico, loss harvesting, etc). Simply tell them and they'll do it too.

The addendum is the Mexican fisherman doesn't have money in the bank if his boat gets destroyed in a freak storm, nor does he have enough to cover the insurance. He's also not taking care of his family or prepared if some oil company drilling in the Gulf of Mexico has a spill that completely destroys his livelihood. In fact the fleet of boats could effectively gain enough money to lobby the local government to set limits on fishing by private boats, setting the per boat fees more than the single fisherman could afford. None of what I've said has no legitimately happened to fishermen. I know it's analogy but the analogy fails on so many levels because it doesn't include preparing for external risks or things you can't control.

Unless you are rich enough to have chosen it, or maybe a prisoner, you always have more than one thing to do. Laundry, groceries, complex engineering, it all needs to be done.

I think our minds evolved to track all these things and, probably in a time sensitive way more than projected future value, to prioritize them. For this reason, I think having multiple projects is the natural state as the mind is optimized for this. So maybe this is the "best way" and explains a lot of the strange ways in which putting a problem aside can help solve it.
That particular example isn't really an oddity; it's a pattern. The "-chen" used in "Mädchen" is a suffix/diminutive and it nearly always transforms the original word to the neuter gender. The original word modified in this particular case has fallen out of common use AFAIK, so it stands out as unusual if you aren't looking more broadly.
I'm not sure that's the right way to think about causality?

Most Ryzen chips lack integrated graphics, which drives up system costs. Also, while the chips are cheaper, saving $100 on the CPU doesn't necessarily make a big impact in total system costs, especially since you now need to buy a discrete GPU for $100 extra too.

Also Ryzen performance really falls off in 4C configurations due to lack of cache (its memory performance is not great and once you fall below a critical level of cache you start leaning harder on the memory for performance). The 2400G and 2200G models (which are the only models with graphics) are particularly heavily affected but the 1500X is not a stellar performer either compared to the 6C and 8C configurations. Normally they fall somewhere around Haswell-level IPC, but as a ballpark let's say the 2200G/2400G is more like Sandy Bridge.

Finally, a lot of the 1000-series chips are subject to a manufacturing fault that causes random segmentation faults under heavy load. Compilation is a reliable way to trigger it, but it can occur in anything, it's basically a uop cache bug. Supposedly fixed after mid-2017, and it's RMA'able if you have it, but a few people still find it in their later-production processors.

As a matter of philosophy, a lot of "office stuff" really prefers fast cores to many cores. An i7 4770 or even one of the new quad-core i3s (no HT) is better suited to typical office tasks on paper, and includes onboard graphics.

With that said, "office stuff" doesn't really need high performance to begin with. Ryzen performance is fine, even the weaker -G processors. But in turn, a lot of users would be OK with even less performance - Intel's Goldmont Plus atom processors are now hitting between Core2 and Nehalem level performance, and that's more than fine for a lot of office stuff. You can pick up a barebones J4005 NUC for like $130 now, or a J5005 NUC for ~$170. Add memory and an SSD and you're done.

The prices on the first-gen stuff are really appealing. I've seen the 1700 for as low as $130. And a home user is probably going to be using a discrete GPU anyway, so that cost penalty doesn't really matter. But, that's not a deal that would be institutionally purchased in volume, that's max quantity 5 from newegg, and companies usually don't buy discrete GPUs if they don't have to.

Two different competitive pools of different sizes. The pool of kids with buildings might be small enough that they can be accepted at a 100% rate, whereas the pool of $50k/y high school kids can only be accepted at a lower rate, maybe 20% ballpark.

Realistically, the kids with buildings also went to $50k/y high schools. If I understand the article, the bribery service was for upping the odds from 20% to 100% without the house getting their cut.
> "Ghiglieri said one difficult lesson from the tragedy, and the trend of risky photos worldwide, is that people should refuse requests to take dangerous photos when they are asked. 'In a common-sense way,' he said, 'many of these accidents could not happen without that assistance.'"

I'm curious what the numbers actually are--true selfies vs engaging bystanders. Perhaps people aware of these selfie stories think they're taking less risk with a bystander, missing the forest for the trees.

Not sure there's any fixing this problem, though, short of changing norms. People like this seem to fundamentally lack the necessary fear (or even capacity for fear)[1], so it's up to everybody else to save them from themselves. I have two small children--one is daring but cautious (internalizes lessons from accidents quickly), the other is oblivious to danger and remains so no matter how many accidents. Neither seem to be thrill junkies or particularly impetuous, thankfully, which are similarly difficult dispositions to address.

No, I learned about the tactic from a security researcher's blog. Google wasn't responding (as usual) so he started to poke common names and finally got a response.

Could be, I see a decent number of people who aren't terribly talented doing ok, though. I don't think the median attempt at doing it full time ends in under minimum wage.
Why? You think we should be moving around in open air? Or you think we should all be moving though high density channels like trains?

I don't see what's wrong with cars if they are minimally heavy, aerodynamic, and managed as a fleet. Busses are certainly not better. And trains only solve half of the problem. (Thoroughfares.)
What's interesting is that nearly all current research shows that combinations of drugs is the most effective solution for eliminating cancers. So it would be nearly the opposite effect. If you let it grow slow you're potentially causing organ damage, letting it spread further which makes it harder to kill, and prolonging side effects of chemo which can be super severe for many people.

Some people absolutely do, but most do not because the trade-off isn't worth it. I know friends of friends who have done so, but they are the exception.

Most people who will be making substantial sums from an IPO, and therefore stand to gain substantially by minimising taxes, likely live comfortably in the area. They may have a strong community of friends and family here, well developed hobbies here, enjoy the benefits of living in California, etc.

Most people who will make that much money from an IPO likely want to be in a position to make new moves, take on new opportunities, and will want to be in the ecosystem where they can take on meaningful challenges. Establishing a new network in a new geography takes time, and there aren't that many great geographies to do so. Only a handful of states have no cap gains tax, so your options are pretty limited, though states like Texas or Washington could be good new starting places.

? What I see when I look at that benchmark is a comparison between linux running in a VM, via WSL and natively.

AKA, VMs are slower than bare metal. News at 10.

Sure there are things windows tends to be slower at, but similarly there are things linux tends to be slower at. For general desktop usage I think you will find two things, windows does quite well, and desktop level virtualization tends to be slower than server virtualization because most desktop users will be using a virtio/emulation IO access method vs servers which tend to be punching PCIe adapters into the VMs. Either way, the overhead of additional translation layers and VM exits for various things is always going to be worse than just running on bare metal. Wether that works out to barely noticeable for compute heavy benchmarks that are TLB friendly, 2x for small packet edge case IO's, or somewhere in between is completely application dependent.
