For employees who are paid by the piece (paid in proportion to how much they produce) inflation with consist of paying more per piece.

But these employees are paid by the hour. Regardless of how productive they are, they are getting paid to fix salary per hour of work. I think productivity does not factor in at all.
The question is more : does it sterilize surfaces well ? The air is not the most important in the ER.
Aren't bank teller wages determined by the market? I don't see how they are underpaid if their salaries are market driven.

Edit: Strange. Getting some down votes. Is it because bank teller wages are not market driven or is it pointing out that fact is discouraged on this site.
> their user management and security policies don’t really scale to large orgs

Really? This is interesting. I am not working in a large org, but all of the issues we've had with their user management have essentially come down to it being designed for companies much larger than we are, with much more complex security requirements.

Can you elaborate on what doesn't scale? What sort of requirements are they not meeting? Is it _targeting_ large orgs and getting it wrong, or is it targeting too-small orgs in your opinion?
You are theoretically correct. To some degree that is already happening. But, I would imagine, the gap isn't large enough for it to overcome other factors: companies aren't always able to make perfect hiring decisions, there's a great deal of error involved. Alot of times highering decisions are just made based on the interviewer's feelings, or sometimes just the order in which the candidates were presented.

I've seen situations where the best candidate was interviewed first and failed (just because he was first). Then by the time the company got around to finish interviewing 5 more, several weeks later, the interviewees got so tired of interviewing they just accepted the last candidate, even though in my opinion there had been several better ones earlier.
Does Germany have a disproportionate amount of control over the EU? Or are you saying the support is already split and Germany is the deciding factor in this case? Or both?
The 6502 processor itself also has very poor "stack" support, the hardware-supported stack is limited to 256 bytes at a fixed location. It's one of the things that make it hard to compile a modern language like C for the architecture, so even among compiled languages one would prefer something FORTRAN/BASIC-like.
I'd be hesitant to dismiss this outright. While urban areas don't have as strong a history of explicit racism, a lot of implicit racism takes hold when the percentage of the black population is just too low to encounter blacks in everyday life. You compare "cities and metros" against "homogeneous communities" as though cities and metros are necessarily non-homogeneous. This is not the case. Plenty of cities on the west coast are nearly entirely while. Even moreso if you count white + one other race like Hispanic or Asian. While the latter does offer some kind of non-homogeneity it's still the case that in many cities in liberal states most people go about their working lives without any black coworkers on their team.

There's likely data to back this up: https://www.theroot.com/forbes-10-cities-where-african-ameri...
And as a global ecological cost, it's pretty huge.
This is very useful. I also agree that it's tough to capture insights because of the conflicting info in many places, from online to even in books and videos. Actively seeking out conflicting info and studying the sides is a good strategy.

Also like your view: "I switched my thinking to a purely "ROI" for the business, and I am convinced it's been a strong win-win. But you have to learn about the real, implicit and explicit, business objective, which is something 99% of devs do not really care (or need to, in this market)." I find this increasingly important, too, thank you.
Why are the standards of evidence so much lower for trends in Chinese and Japanese culture?

First of all, the title of the article isn’t supported by the content.

Secondly, the evidence of the title appears to be a single unnamed recruiter.

Third, of course a vast majority of people in tech in China are going to be young. Do people not remember the economic situation of China 20-30 years ago?
That's an excuse, not a reason. If you don't understand regulatory capture, then you're not paying attention.
I think they meant to say a specific "account" rather than getting into person-hood.

I have been wanting what the op describes for a long time - why do we have to "create" accounts? Why can't we simply tell the site our account with our request. For a dumb example, having "?publicKey=(key)" in the url. That way the site can know who we are and be able to link our profile, provable by our ability to sign using the private key, does away with login forms, does away with password recovery flow, does away with email single-point-of-failure, allows us to switch profiles easily, etc. It's mind-boggling that every site in the world rebuilds login logic.
> The ATMs nowadays do so much on their own.

Agreed. And ever more so, the mobile apps do a ton themselves. I absolutely love that that I can just deposit checks right from my banking mobile app, instead of having to go to the bank or an ATM.
lol, guess their new CEO did use the "Oracle Playbook" as he promised...
Funny enough, this is my PhD research. Granted, I do agree that the examples should be more meaningful; however, offering students worked examples as typing examples to better train them on syntax errors is the general feel.
Thank you for your service! really cool they issued darn tough socks. Have you tried danner boots by any chance? good pairing :)
There might be fewer tellers per bank, that's likely. But it's also true there are more banks than in the 90s, at least thinking about my town.

They already do this in some areas, like returning a fixed list of installed fonts, but fixing every possibility of fingerprinting is extraordinary hard since there are so many ways to pull in some data. At some point it light actually hurt the user experience.
The problem is that these two interact. You get a deduction on your federal return for your state taxes. There are those who want to eliminate this (and the 2018 changes significantly reduced this deduction), but doing so is--IMHO--unfair to those living in high tax states.
I don't know any jurisdictions that don't recognize the concept of “public domain”, but there are some that define “public domain” differently than it is defined in the US.

In the US “public domain” means “without copyright”, while in some other countries it means “without authors rights” (authors rights are a superset of copyright). The problem here is that some authors rights (both in the US & in those countries) are “inalienable”, meaning they can't be given or taken away (although there might be exceptions listed in the law).
So this is possible. I fly on JAL all the time for work (internationally). They are pretty much always right on time for all schedule flights. They do things very differently then the US airlines I fly on. They make announcements about boarding time, status etc. more often. They announcements include things like walking time to the gate. There are way more people at the gate organizing the boarding queue and handling the ticket and passport checking then I have seen at other airlines. They have clear signage about which line is for what and walk around with the signs to make sure everyone understands. When you board the aircraft the crew is actively involved in making sure you are able to get in your seat and get your bags put away. If you have a connecting flight with a tight window there are personal at the plane exit waiting for you to help you make the next flight. I have always been impressed by their level of service and detail. I recently had a flight through Tokyo back to the US. As I walk off the plane that just landed and look out the window I can see my bag already off the plane and being put on a cart for transfer. I had a 40 minute window on an international connecting flight through Narita. I would never ever try to schedule that on another airline. I made it with 20 minutes to spare and my bag showed up at my destination just fine. Oh the other amazing thing is that priority tag on your bag for their frequent flyers for making your bag come out first really works, even when landing in SFO or LAX.

I really feel this is a matter of organizational skill and planning. The US airlines just do not care to put in the effort.

We decided to cancel our Prime membership due to Amazon's increasingly shady dealings. But I have to be honest: It's been VERY difficult. VERY inconvenient. (In a relative, first-world-problem kind of way, of course).

There are certain products only available on Amazon (like some Anker products), and you just can't beat the convenience factor.

Who knows if we'll last, but I have to say, Amazon is hard to beat.

ShopRunner seems promising but you still have to go to multiple websites to find things.

And retail works well when you need something quickly, but it is still a time sink in the US (20 min drive to a store to buy something, etc).
> Perhaps because of its familiarity we value it higher, but powerful people in several parts of the world have been systematically destroying historical objects of value to a culture or civilisation to push forward their ideology.

This is a particular feature of utopian ideology; marxists, islamists, fascists, etc. seek to carve utopia from reality, and the artifacts which prove that there's something else are just in the way. A look at what's preserved in Taiwan should make you weep to know what was lost just a little bit to the west.
Based on the article, they're not trying to entice technologists with this particular move. They want to go after 'traditional industries' -- Oracle's customers.
I agree, and the site also needs better citations to ground this topic.

I talk about that in the article; you can't scale down to 0 nodes in GKE so it's still more expensive. (it may be possible although not easy: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51655781/google-cloud-ku...)
Currently only high revenue is taxed (at a personal level). Wealth isn't taxed. At least not in the UK. I guess in the U.S income tax deductions mean it's skewed a little more to profit rather than revenue.
There are differences which are worth noting. Any system shouldn't be considered open if test cases are held in secret (even if they are just implementation test cases). Opening the entire language and runtime is considered the norm these days, not especially laudable.
Nowhere in that report does it say it is "garbage", as you suggest it is.

Yes it is not as good as some other wealthy countries, but it is by no means "garbage", e.g. on page 35: "The results show that although the UK does well by global standards, it performs poorly compared with the other developed countries in our comparison group". "..does well by global standards.." completely contradicts the idea that it is "garbage".

There are some interesting comments in the document suggesting that some of the health outcomes might actually be social which was news to me an quite interesting - e.g. the british "stiff upper lip"/"keep calm and carry on" might be causing people to defer medical help, or that the large income disparity could be skewing it. Interesting & worrying stuff.
I wonder why they make things so crazy expensive or aren’t upfront about enterprise / volume pricing.

As if Google is teetering on the brink? Or are you suggesting they'll just pull the plug on GCS? They very well might. Which, in fact, is probably half the reason companies won't buy what they're selling.
Looks super cool and super happy with Netlify hosting.

I just gave it a spin though and got this:

Netlify Dev ◈ Starting Netlify Dev...
Netlify Dev ◈ Overriding dist with setting derived from netlify.toml [dev] block: null
Netlify Dev ◈ No dev server detected, using simple static server
Netlify Dev ◈ Unable to determine public folder for the dev server.
Setup a netlify.toml file with a [dev] section to specify your dev server settings.

But the blog post and the TOML reference (https://www.netlify.com/docs/netlify-toml-reference/) don't seem to include details on what to include in the [dev] section of the TOML file to get this to work.

Anyone have this tool working locally?

might take some advanced tech skills to install, but this is the only way to be theoretically secure against the most powerful attack vector of these types of attacks, which is to act as an HID and input malware into the computer. basically, you flag a physical USB port as being data-storage-only and your os will prevent any device being plugged into that port as being recognized as a mouse or keyboard or any other powerful USB device.
Bank of America made it to my permanent boycott list after they bought my MBNA credit card and my mortgage, and then proceeded to pull every possible shenanigan to try to squeeze more money out of me.

The next note I write will have a clause specifically saying that if it is ever sold to BoA, or serviced by them, the remainder of the debt owed on the note will be discharged immediately. And if that scuttles the financing, so be it. I never wanted to be their customer, and they forced me into it; that's the only way I can think of to keep their business practices out of my life.
The OpenJDK is the source code. Like a master branch where commits are made.

That branch is always moving forward. New features added, new bug or security patched, etc.

Now there comes points where you need to package the OpenJDK source code into a binary.

This packaging process is done by multiple different "vendors".

Now Oracle packages for free a release every 6 months. That package is the Oracle OpenJDK. If another vendor did a package it would be Other Vendor OpenJDK.

Now the idea of back-porting is basically a cherry pick package. Instead of packaging the latest commit. You cherry pick only bug and security commits and apply them to say the release 8 commit. That way, you don't introduce new features, only bug fixes. Then you make sure you didn't break anything compatibility wise.

The idea is that those should be easier to migrate to, since by leaving out new features, you limit potential backward breaking changes.

This cherry picking merge, which can be painful to do, because sometimes you may need to address weird merge conflicts, or even make some changes to the fix since you're trying to apply it to a earlier commit then it was built on. This is what Oracle now charges money for.

Other vendors also offer back-ported releases for money. Azul and RedHat for example.

AdoptOpenJdk is a new community initiative trying to do backported releases for free with volunteer work.

And Amazon Coretto is doing it for free, but hoping that by moving to their JDK package, you'd eventually end up using AWS.

New Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian Says He's Borrowing from the Oracle Playbook
I never understand the constant railing about "lock-in" here. My company currently runs on AWS and GCE, and maybe will be using a 3rd in the future. We can move between any provider as long as we update our tooling to work with cloud provider specifics. IE security group differences between AWS and GCE, etc.

They aren't doing anything to block us from leaving, and anyone here thinking there is going to be some kind of 100% unified API between every cloud provider is out of touch with reality, if that is what their expectation of "no vendor lock-in" is.
The KVV map did not change its layout very much. It was mostly a pretty tame transition from sharp angles and straight lines to curves. Most stations didn't change their relative position much. I don't know if the new one is better. I only remember having to unlearn the layout of the old one for a while. Also, this map change was after a time when the routes were changed around several times to accommodate the new tunnels then under construction. So the old maps also had a lot of churn.
> Nobody is making their employees do the same repetitive labor in the same setting day in and day out.

No, not that much in the future. I have a friend who has lived in Flushing for many years. Not long ago they were thinking about getting a bigger apartment, but even with the equity they have, they couldn't do it. It was cheaper for them to buy a weekend place outside of the city.

And Flushing is already way the fuck out there.
Well it is not exactly Enterprise, but Snap has a $2 billion contract for App Engine, so Google do have large clients on their cloud platform.
In my limited experience the companies that are doing this type of stuff usually don’t have people with in-depth experience. They were all likely new grads or close to it promoted by tenure or super fast growth alone (they were the longest there or ones who stuck around).

The ones in charge who are older have what I call a frat house mentality.

It's true that it's not a funny joke, but it does make a point. Any time Google announces something cool, the first thought most engineers have is, "Do I really want to invest in this given that it could go away with minimal warning?".

It's a huge problem that Google will have to overcome. Say what you will about AWS, but they've only ever cancelled one product as far as I know (SimpleDB) and they gave people multiple years warning and a replacement product.
Yeah. It pretty much says that the smaller countries changing their votes doesn't have any effect without for example Germany doing the same.
It's funny how executive leadership never consider themselves too old for the job.
Yes, the automatic dismissal part is both problematic and foolish.

But beyond that, I am a hiring manager, and I really can't tell you which people I've hired have sent me thank you notes. I'm pretty sure it's a small minority. I have yet to hire someone who's a "bad egg" or just doesn't care about their coworkers.

Beyond that, expecting people to adhere to a protocol they simply may not know is unfair. As I've said elsewhere, the original author should take the things she thinks a thank you note shows and just screen for them directly, rather than extrapolating from a norm that some people may have and others may not for reasons that have nothing to do with anything.

If I thought an applicant knew they should send a thank you note but that they just dropped the ball, that would be a negative sign. But I see no reason to assume that.
According to the article, this 15 hour program enabled 80% of the women admitted to the engineering program to graduate vs 50% before hand. I guarantee if you ask Dr Sorby who came up with the program that is the main takeaway not some culture war thing. The same course was offered to men and it improved their spatial ability but didn't improve their rate of matriculation. I'm not exactly sure how it relates to that school since we don't know the rate of matriculation for men there, but the article didn't mention that nationwide 60% of people admitted to engineering programs drop out. That suggests that with a 15 hour intervention that women may be less likely to drop out of engineering programs than men are.
