Yes, I did leave. The real problem is: the only method of pay increase is leaving. Well, so now I am the "new guy" every two to three years. I have no real investment in the company, and they have none in me. Right or wrong, is that the workforce that we want to cultivate? I have not been at any company more than a few years because of this (literally, not boasting, I do something great, they recognize wow this person is great, and I receive nothing so I leave)... the problem is that as one ages, this gets old (no pun intended). Job hopping as an old person in an IT/tech field is not pretty, and probably not fashionable.

My concern is, how do new, young(er) people get raises? I would use my time as a cautionary tale... job hopping seems to fine at the start, but as you progress it gets worse. My issue is that I am still underpaid by a long shot. If I stayed at the first company I would still be making 1/3 of what I am now, but I am also making 1/2 of what the "new guy" makes. Not sure where this is all going (on a large scale, not my story), or how this is helping the country/economy.

While I would certainly be more happy in a world with either IRV or Condorcet method than FPTP, I think this argument against IRV is too simplistic.
The situation is candidates D, R with the largest numbers of voters who prefer them first, and consensus candidate I with smaller first preference than D, R but lots of 2nd preference. Under any Condorcet method, the D and R voters can hurt their candidate by ranking I as second (later-no-harm criterion). This leads to a negative partisanship spiral, say, as D/R voters feel like they must only rank 1 candidate in order to counter the threat from the other party doing the same, and thus the consensus candidate I, which would be the Condorcet winner under voter's true preferences, does not become the winner under the actual votes. IRV does a better job of inducing everyone to rank choices.

I'm not sure I understand, nor how this would combat the problem that I can accidentally spoil my ballot by miscounting the number of choices I've made. An easy mistake to make - even easier if you have a condition like dyslexia.
Sure... but that's only half of the equation.

Adversarial Machine Learning Against Tesla's Autopilot
I try not to forget any once I know they are DRM-free! When music switched to DRM-free, it was pretty much just "Apple says all songs are DRM-free now, but books has been a much longer, harder fight. I think it's important we recognize, promote, and patronize DRM-free retailers and publishers.
I literally could not disagree with you more.

Arguing with someone on the internet (while almost always pointless) means I'm talking with someone whose motivations I don't know. Are they being disingenuous, trolling, are they quoting something exactly but missed the context?

On the internet, you don't get the benefit of the doubt -- you need to prove to me that you're making an attempt at having a real conversation, and if you can't provide a source that you presumably have already seen -- but I haven't -- that is nearly the lowest barrier of proof I can set.

Is the primary idea for journalists to share the checks they did, or to have contributors help them check whether the things they mention are factual? The former is what I'd imagine when I hear "open source fact checking", the latter would be called "crowd-sourced fact checking", I think.

Just some feedback that might or might not be useful for your messaging, depending on your goals :)
Eh, if you really want to take cherry pick examples, let's take the lower 0,4% fee I pay to buy BTC. I get 0% cashback for my credit card (cashback is an exception in Germany, not the rule), and Coin Tracking Unlimited for one year is 0.037BTC (~$180.6525) instead of $185 paying with USD. And suddenly the point is 100% reversed and BTC is the clear winner and obviously far superior to Creditcards -.-
Sure -- but the emphasis belongs w/ the other (who is in a position to help you).
Taxes are extracted during payroll and that’s a very easy process for individuals. The tax return is just an adjustment. It’s an annoying process to get a direct deposit for at least as many people as it is an annoying process to send a check.

If I were a strategist in charge in making taxes hurt, I would try to help people understand how much bigger their paychecks could be. Please read this comment as politically neutral.

"We have congestion pricing in Minneapolis / St Paul and it just works. We're rolling it out to all of the major highways."

Aren't these two very different things ?

I own a home in MPLS and I don't know anything about congestion pricing there. I think you must be talking about the lane restrictions on the freeways ?

Congestion pricing, as it is in London, and as is being discussed for NYC, is the concept of the city center being an island of paid entrance. As if you could not enter downtown MPLS without paying a fee.

I don't have any comment on your broad, economic analysis - just that the lane restrictions on 35 are really not the same thing as the congestion pricing being discussed here...
Lawsuit accusses Poland Spring of selling “ordinary groundwater”
I read a lot of textbooks in DRM free eBook format lately, strictly for the weight. However, some of my books have licenses on them stating its a crime to even create a copy and worded so poorly that even personal backups are illegal, and I certainly am not allowed to share them with family members, resell, or let somebody inherit it. Same for almost all of my DRM free audiobooks. I don't find this acceptable when it comes up.

To me, ebooks are an alternative to amassing huge quantities of paperback sci fi novels that I'll likely never read again. I also get to read them on my phone which often means the difference between me reading them at all or not. For any book I'll likely want to refer to again, art book, graphic novel, etc. then print is far better for the reasons you say. The general question I ask is, "Would I buy this in hardcover?" If the answer is no, then I'll get the ebook.
Nice to see more work in this area.

However as others have said a reputation system for participants is absolutely key. Any platform like this has to assume it is going to be flooded by bots trying to influence opinion on behalf of corporations, foreign governments and activists.

A reputation where users gain reputation slowly (through work, by verifying sources, etc..) become more able to influence opinion, but the reputation drops quickly if they are found to be misleading people. How this actually works is harder than it seems if you want a truly robust system.

When I think of platforms like this I think of Galileo[0]. He was perceived as a troll or heretic in his time, but of course he was right. How do you create a platform that allows correct ideas to flourish even when they go against conventional wisdom?

>> The filings lay out a plan to put 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit

>> Last year, SpaceX launched the first two prototype satellites for its Starlink broadband data constellation, which is projected to grow to more than 12,000 satellites in low Earth orbit.

>> OneWeb had its first six broadband satellites launched in February, and plans to put hundreds more in place over the next year or two

>> Telesat put its first prototype broadband satellite in low Earth orbit last year, and plans to have hundreds more launched

Had no idea these networks would be so big. This sounds bonkers! I wonder large these birds are and how many go up per launch?
I mean no luxury brand sells a car for $17.5k. I'm sure the entire world would go bananas if the Model 3 were priced at that...

Chevy has the Bolt out now at the same price as the SR+ Model 3, and it's absurd how bad the Bolt looks in comparison. The range is the same, but the exterior, performance, and charging capabilities are dramatically inferior to Model 3.

The only other competition debuting in the near future is the Nissan Leaf Plus, which costs more than the Model 3 SR, and has all the issues of the Bolt on top of the fact that its battery isn't even actively cooled, which is terrifying for battery longevity.

I work mostly with startups and I don't know any that could survive with a plan like this:

> 3 weeks on/1 week off development cycle

Unless you're lucky enough to have no competitors and a ton of runway and no major support issues ever, there's no way you can give your engineering team 12 weeks of vacation a year all at the same time.

> Once a sprint has begun, Issues may not be added to the sprint, but they can be removed. This reduces context switching and that is a good thing.

Yes, minimizing context switching is a great thing, but for 4-8 weeks you can't adapt to changing business conditions? A change that comes in on day 2 will have to wait 8 weeks to go live as it won't be put into a sprint for 4 more weeks and then launched another 4 after that.

I'm a developer and totally understand the desire to have every requirement up front and peace and quiet to implement it. The goal should be to get as close to that as possible but still being open to business needs.

Unfortunately I've seen first a dev team sink a multi-million dollar business through a lack of flexibility and turnaround time.

I don't think you'll find many managers rushing to implement this, which is basically inflexible agile with a week of vacation every month. I think the experience of managing a dev team while trying to balance a budget would be invaluable for anyone thinking that this process makes sense.
Its tool for all kind of purpose. Certainly can be used for communication too as well as selling ads. Even for selling ads it still have some good for some user.
A quick search on cars.com reveals 1,700 new cars within 50 miles of my zip code for under $15,000.

I agree that a decent EV for that price is just not practical yet, but cheap ICE cars have no trouble hitting it.
I completely comprehend the bad things the platforms introduce, but pre-social media it was just really inconvenient to stay in touch with people way out of your area. Blogs were alright for it, but not great for 2 way communication in my memories.

I stayed in Peru for a couple years pre-facebook. I told friends and my host family I'd stay in touch and we all shared email addresses. I wrote less than 3 emails.

Next couple years go by and they start shooting friend requests and suddenly I am interacting with long lost friends, talking about their kids, jobs, and reminiscing about the dumb things we did together.

There are definitely other ways to communicate, but there's something about social media that reduces the effort required to connect with someone. It's irrelevant that you might change your address, phone number, or even email address. You have a fixed place that I can contact you and reach out. Oh, and it's the same website where I can find my favorite college roommate too...
That's how I conduct interviews these days. It's just conversation based around tech. Problem is that it is not scalable. Not everyone has the skills to do such thing. Thats why my company still resorts to hacker rank screeners ...

"Don't make estimates."

I don't know if I would call it that but I have a few:

1. I live 20mi from my office, I prefer to use my bike (bicycle) over any other means of transportation. I hate riding Lyft/Uber, driving is insanely stressful at times. I like the time on the bike and it adds a ton of value in my life in general. It is quirky because I never really take the 20mi route and often prefer the longer routes.

2. I wake up at the same time every single day. 4:45 am. Wether it's the weekend, weekday, doesn't matter, I wake up and I just get up of bed.

Again, I don't know if I would call these quirky but those are the ones I can think of.

I'm not claiming that EU is planting landmines against migrants. I'm telling that EU's border with migrant-providing regions is short, and already fortified - and that's why there's no discussion about border walls. And it's not a reaction of minority of countries: with all its postures, EU is not afraid to fund expansion and renovation of border fences not only on its own borders, but in other countries which are on typical migrant paths. If you want a projection on US: it's like there's a sea between US, and Mexico, except for a few strips, already fenced for decades, and US administration pays to build walls between Mexico, and Guatemala, Guatemala, and Honduras, and so on.

Btw, I'm quite certain number of migrants drowned in Meditteranean over past 20 years is much more then 7000.

Ahh yes, nothing more lively and current than watching senior citizens coo over monarchs.

It does often seem that any news report about TSLA "soaring" or "plummeting" turns out to really just be a small'ish osscilation. At this point I tend to take most of these with a grain of salt.
Why is it necessary?
The alternative is the Result or Maybe objects with pattern matching from functional languages. It seems similar to return codes with if/then, but the strong typing and the match forcing you to deal with all possible branches (or pass it along) makes it less spaghetti looking.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense - thanks.
You're implying I am 'white', 'western-European' and '[a] guy' even though this is irrelevant and there is no indication of either my race, origin or sex in my post.

Docker is like lasagna – easy explanation for non-tech
I totally agree. I think so much of the "it's really hard to get rid of bad people" story comes from weak management. Firing people is part of the job, you need to be comfortable doing it.

Interviewing people is extremely disruptive to an engineer's time and in a large company it could potentially happen a lot. I think that is the metric that should be optimized for, not minimizing firing work for the hiring manager.
I liked the graphics heavy style of the article. Also, it doesn't touch upon the brutality of the indoctrination camps. There are reports of them being forced to eat pork, forced marriages,etc. I wonder if this is the closest we can get to NK outside NK.

Big advantage of Kofola compared to Coke or Pepsi is that it is less sweet - you can drink few 0.5l glasses and enjoy it.
As saiya-jin mentioned above, 0% alcohol Radler Citrus is also great when hiking or riding bike. It's really good alternative if you cannot or do not want to drink beer or other alcohol beverages. In Slovakia there is 0% limit on alcohol when driving and this also applies to bikes outside of town or bike paths.

Those are some great points. I am not going to boast, but I do know most of them, and I was a manager of an IT team at a great organization that gave us proper, informed training, so most of these points are very familiar (we thought about the employee perspective). My current location does not offer any "real" jobs like some previous posters were pointing out (e.g. the big 5 or 10 companies). Oddly, I think getting in now would be very difficult. I was a Sr IT worker, then a Manager of Sr. IT workers, in addition to an enterprise architect. But I am getting older, and I think they want younger.
