That's exactly my point. Ideally, you should take a competitive salary. If you have to take some kind of alternative compensation because you believe in the mission or whatever, most startups aren't profitable even at IPO/aquihire stage, and in the case of Amazon, could have been profitable years earlier but reinvested everything and then some. I just can't see a scenario where it makes sense to take profit sharing at a new, growing, unproven company.
I did try a prescription-only DDS mouthwash. No difference.

My wife started working at a downtown library 6 months ago. We live in a relatively small Midwest city (300K pop) that is a big college town, as well as the seat of the state government. Everything in this article is familiar to me; nothing is shocking in any way. This is the norm for urban libraries.
The best way to perform a specific action can sometimes change depending on what method is currently fastest. Copy, slice, instancing a new list object, the copy module, each can have their own code base. It would not be surprise me at all if which one is the fastest method has shifted several times between 2.7 and latest version.

That said, copying is in this case the end result of distinct different methods. In the stackoverflow answer, the only redundant way to copy is the .copy method list has. If I understand right it is just a convenient method in order so new programmers don't need to import the copy module.

list() is a common way to create a new list, and the constructor can take a initial sequence. Lists are sequences, so list can take a list, but that is just a side effect.

Slicing is very useful for taking the first or last objects of a list. if you take all the first and all the last objects, you get a copy. Its not the primary function of slicing, but a useful side effect.

The copy module is a lower level interface to work with python objects. As any other lower level interface it mostly used in exception cases when you really want a "deep copy". I have used that trick once in my whole programming career, and it was to work around a restriction in a third-party module for a corner case which they clearly didn't consider.
We're too similar to other life on earth for that to be credible.
> I wonder if one can readily track toothbrush [handle] and jaw movements tightly enough to produce a "brushing map" indicating areas that are getting less attention.

Oral-B's Bluetooth toothbrushes with the Oral-B app shows a mouth map and tells you where you're missing. Available at almost all major retailers.

PS - I don't realistically think people will use Oral-B's solution daily, too awkward (requires sticking the phone to a mirror/face alignment), but useful for "spot checks."

I have found that by paying the same amount as the premium of the PPO into my HSA that I come out even, if I end up spending the whole deductible, or ahead (i.e. building savings), if I don't. In other words, I don't see any disadvantage to HDHP+HSA vs. PPO plan.

Rule number 1, IMO, never discuss salary. I find listing your salary requirements before starting a process weeds out a lot of silly interviews. If you know your worth and have a goal for your salary, it is the most effective way I know to avoid dumb offers.
I would like to highlight and submit the paradox at the heart of the gig economy. At one end, the gig economy relies on a critical mass of consumers willing to pay for additional value on top in the form of convenience and real-time demand networks, but at the same time the economic model also leads to a race to the bottom as it assumes and necessitates that every request is served with the least amount of friction possible (capital, labor or otherwise). Which creates a problem, if the future of work is an expansion of the economic trends behind the gig economy (cost reductions by passing the buck onto the employees and highly dynamic workforces), then that logically means the number of people who have the capability to afford it in the first place also decreases as the buying power of the populace decreases.

We are trapped in a strange loop. The excess buying power of consumers that has arisen from capitalism has also led the same system to incentivize services and practices that are reducing the buying power of consumers.

Our old way of looking at things in isolated subsets will bring us to ruin. We really should adopt a new perspective and a new way of doing things where we view our economies as ecosystems or networks might clarify why these changes are occurring (the gig economy is far from the only change that's happening). For example, we can look at excessive economic inequality and understand why it is bad by looking at natural ecosystems and how they are a closed loop.

For e.g. Consumers are like plankton. They are the injection of biomass (money) into the system that ensures money changes hands when they buy goods and services. A single entity, no matter how rich, cannot provide equivalent mass to the greater ecosystem than a large set of consumers. Or, in other words, a billionaire requires only so many pairs of sunglasses and Netflix subscriptions. Ergo, a broad base of wealth where people can afford the products around them is essential for a capitalistic ecosystem to function, as these plankton keep feeding entities higher up in the food chain through an accumulation effect.

For whatever reason, just like we have decimated our natural environment, we have also decimated our economic ecosystem. The number of entities with high purchasing power is rapidly decreasing, and this signals a significant problem for the future of the ecosystem. And it also suggests how automation can end up eating itself economically unless we institute measures - artificial or otherwise - that inject capital back into the building blocks of the economy.

I suspect that as computing gets better, we will eventually create models that will make the invisible transparent and make our debates about these topics quaint to people of this future. Maybe what we need more than just lobbying instacart is systems that allow us to see economies in real-time and simulate outcomes of individual, highly variable, irrational agents at unprecedented scales in order to give policymakers definitive answers about issues like this, for we are governing blind and I am afraid of what the future holds for us.
Where I live they bound the local currency to the Euro and 1lc=1euro so you trade in whatever you want but pay your taxes in Euro. So it means you better have faith in the local currency because if somehow the experience fails it'll be people, artisans and reseller who'll pay the tab. Although here I think there's something like "the group that printed the money keep euros and will trade it for 1 loc anytime".

I really want to understand your situation here.

When u say equity - do u mean they wouldnt offer u a standard options package ? Or was it too low ?

Or do u expect to get couple of % of a $10M ARR company?

I am curious because HR is hard and broken for everyone. But expectations are also very high.
One unintended consequence that you run into is that people for whom the program was not designed for and targeted to will actively try to consume it (e.g. an able-bodied person instead of a homeless individual with mental health issues). This, by the way, occurs today. There was a social worker from LA (I think) that talked about how big of a problem this is and how much drain on time, and resources it is in practice.

Because we live in a finite world, you're always going to be resource constrained, what happens is that you have to necessarily create a massive bureaucracy to triage and control who should and shouldn't get access to this program - which explodes the cost, and incentivizes cheating by those that don't get access. It also sets up an arms race, where you keep increasing the bureaucracy in order to control for new inventive ways that the program is abused, leading to more costs. I'm not sure if you're suggesting that property rights be given to the individual, or if staying in social housing is dependent on certain criteria being continually met. Either way, you're looking at more bureaucracy, and corresponding cheating, that again, explodes costs and creates new unintended consequences (for example, preventing able-bodied people from moving around to seek better opportunities, in the same way that rent-control does).

In other words, you'll merely recreate our present system. Writing a check is easy and if that was all that was needed, we'd have solved every societal problem a long time ago. There is no free lunch.
Yes, but it’s backed by enough interests and money that it’s still not fair to compare to a typical FOSS or hobby project :p
Life has been on Earth for at least 3.8 billion years. All of the life on Earth today is descended from that original life. So if life on Earth originally came from Mars, it would have had to do so at least 3.8 billion years ago. But that's too close to the origin of the solar system as a whole for it to be credible that an industrial civilization could have evolved on Mars, caused a climate catastrophe, and then migrated to Earth.
People absolutely do question if it is important to write clear commit messages. I've had quite a few conversations where people have said things along the lines of "why do you even care? no one ever looks at the commit meesages".
The theory is that the market adjusts to compensate so in theory, competitors will offer reasonable opportunities.

The practice is that a culture had been subscribed to across the board and there's no shortage or urgency because if there was, these positions would loosen or employers would be more aggressive and even offer training instead of leaving needed positions unfilled.
>In short, if this post is representative of the way workers are thinking and communicating, then we do have a talent shortage, it's just not the talents you're thinking of.

Cute and snarky, but lets not misdirect. The article isn't a representation of how people communicate to REASONABLE employers, so your comment doesn't make much sense. Its in response to the pervasive disconnect that is prevalent in the current hiring industry.

And if after that clarification you still think the article takes an unjustified tone, I'd say you are just as much a part of the problem.
It's ridiculous that there are not clear and unambiguous financial artifacts on their site!

I can gather from [1] (in French):

+ That is seems to be pegged 1:1 to the Euro

And from [2]

+ That it may just be an 'alt format' - i.e. each 'Eusko' is backed by a Euro.

Meaning this is really just about names and bill colours. It's de-facto just Euros.

I don't gather there's a central bank or monetary policy persey, but I could be wrong, I would hope someone chimes in with answers.

It might be 'liked' by the local business as a means to avoid transparency, would be a cynical take, but this is money, those are common money problems.

There are all sorts of neat ramifications to this, but considerably more if it were truly it's own currency with central bank, policy and not pegged to the Euro.

I had a ludicrous experience with an AR startup in Toronto last year where I was offered $35 an hour - worked a week, and then was told they could only afford to pay $20/hr.

They made me work 60-80 hour weeks and didn’t pay me overtime.

When I criticized them, they fired me after a month.

I’d love to expose them here, but I’ll be the better person than them.

Alan Weisman's "The World Without Us" is an interesting book/thought experiment that highlights just how fast the features and evidence of a civilization might be erased through natural processes.

Do you think Resumes made in LaTeX get screwed by the HR robot screening programs that scan documents for keywords? I mean, if your document has some weird formatting going on, I could see the program miss some crucial keywords buried inside a nested table or something
Technically stub resolvers and recursive resolvers are the same thing (one is an inherent part of the other). So all is needed is recursive resolvers to communicate securely with authoritative servers. Tunnels to third party recursive resolvers do nothing but leak private data to them.
Covering for them doesn't make you a better person.
I don't think you can have sympathy for both.

As for the rest it isn't just about forcing them to live on the street, ideally I wouldn't let them live in society at all, far away under a bridge is the closest I can get.
But that's exactly what I did? Sorry, I didn't phrase it right.

My non-negotiable requirement was 20% more than I was getting. I gave a hard number and they said "yeah we can give that" before the interview.

However the recruiter just assumed I was bluffing and went ahead with that colossal waste of time.
Just because you could match your meditation experience to your martial arts experience does not imply that there is something unique to martial arts going on. As I mentioned, almost any simple physical activity may become a meditative practice and may benefit from such practice. I like the following quote about zanshin (from https://wwzc.org/dharma-text/zanshin)

"In taking a step, it is the weight rolling smoothly and the next step arising. In breathing in completely, it is this breath. In breathing out completely, it is this breath. In life, it is this life. Zanshin means complete follow through, leaving no trace. It means each thing, completely, as it is."
Agree, most people simply want a paycheck to pay bills and have some disposable income and don't care about the startup's vision 'to change the world'. Startups should hire people because they can get stuff done. If someone happens to believe in the mission then it's more power to them but it shouldn't be a requirement.
Successful businesses support the livelihoods of all of the families that depend on that business's continued success,

Just want to point out that this point is entirely back-peddling your original point (an objection to "get over yourselves").

If the point of a given company is that it supports a person and maybe dependents, then you really don't need to ask someone why they want to work at the company or whether they believe in the company, because the answer is obviously "because you will pay me." I mean, corollary to the value of most companies being that they support people via the salaries and wages they pay, is the companies shouldn't be injecting the implication that their employees should sacrifice and work for less given the importance of the work the company does (and that ethos is widespread).
Thats my point. There is an abundance of compassion, but a dearth of effective social security. The welfare states or Europe are a form of institutionalized compassion, but they are eroding fast.
There are usually 2 reasons why a company/individual hires someone else (1) expertise & (2) time.

(1) An HR employee is hired to cover certain areas (recruiting in this case) of expertise that the individual manager may not have or may be biased towards.

(2) Manager(s) may look to outsource a segment of their work.

In most cases, it is a combination of the two that leads to HR being the gatekeeper. I would argue that if there was no HR, society would simply blame the next person in charge of the hiring segment.

Also there are microorganisms that digest plastic. They could've thrived at some point and then diminished in numbers after much of the plastic from the previous industrial civilization was consumed.
I got an individual HDHP as soon as I turned 18 in 2004. Shopping around on these plans is not easy, I'm really the only one to do it. I thought it would get easier as more people got HDHPs, it got a little bit better over the years and then drastically went downhill after the ACA. Two main reasons: reduced competition, and our bizarro culture where no one blinks at an $800 surprise bill.

I used to have a couple imaging facilities that I went to because their rates were low. In the past few years they have all been bought up by some sort of conglomerate and prices have gone up. It’s not advertised, so I literally have to call the place, talk to the back office and find out if they’ve been bought. So last year I go to the one place that hasn’t been bought, rates were good, I go this year and the bill was a surprise. Even my blood test rates have gone up this year, I’ve asked several doctors and they’re like “Yeah, it’s pretty much Quest or Labcorp now.” So my rule now is, if the back office has no clue what they're doing, they will likely be cheap, and they will likely either get bought up or go out of business.

Many years ago when I’d go to the doctor I think I was literally the only one with an HDHP, and the allowable amount would come out to $200, and they’d go “Oh, that’s not right. How about $60?” And just take $60 from me and call it a day. Now when I ask “Will this test cost me more than $200?” No one has an answer or seems to care like we are in some crazy bureaucracy.
"Inherit the Stars" by James Hogan is a good scifi story about this.

Also "The Hab Theory" by Allan Eckert.
Really that sounds terrible. Let the managers hire I need to finish my sprint.
Ok, I’ll do my best here. I’m going to pass the first question because there’s already a discussion about it below.

I have some naive questions too. This is basically just me rephrasing the question I understood wallace_f to be asking:
...
- The black hole within the horizon is a three-dimensional massy object and can and does exert a lot of gravitational force.

The black hole includes the event horizon, which marks the point at which we stop knowing anything or have theories to predict anything. We really have no idea what’s beyond the event horizon, and almost anything you can imagine has been conjectured as being there, from firewalls to elder gods. We’re talking about a region which can’t be properly described by he theories we have, where the manifold ceases to well behaved. Everything beyond the event horizon is causally disjoint with the rest of the universe, and may as well not exist for anything that isn’t falling past the event horizon.

- Assume at equilibrium our black hole is somehow exerting gravitational forces on its surroundings which are what you would predict if you accurately knew the black hole's actual mass.

Right, mass is one of the “hairs” a black hole has along with charge and momentum.

- Assume the black hole moves, e.g. because of inertia.
- Now it should be exerting more force than previously on one half of the universe (the half it moved toward), and less force on the other half.

It sort of does, this is the basis of frame dragging when the hole is spinning. The hole warps spacetime around it, dragging reference frames in the direction of its motion.

- Say it moved toward you. After a speed-of-light delay, you should actually perceive more force on yourself towards the black hole. But this can't be because a messenger particle was transmitted from the black hole to you. How can it be?
Assuming this shows that black holes cannot move seems unsatisfactory, given the recession of galaxies from one another, observations believed to show black holes colliding, etc. Where are my mistakes?

The theory of gravity we actually have doesn’t involve bosons, it’s a geometric theory describing a continuous manifold. How that squares with theories containing gravitons is well above my pay grade, sorry. The classical theory says that the warping of spacetime is continuous, and so the hole moves like something being dragged through water, including a wake and bow wave. Since the hole can’t move at c, being massive, there is always an acceptable delay for the light-speed propagation of disturbsnces in spacetime to reach you first.

Followup: one black hole collides with another black hole of roughly ten times its size. Is it necessarily the case that the center of mass of the new, combined black hole ends up at the point that was the center of mass of the small-hole/big-hole system just as the small hole crossed the big hole's event horizon?

They end up merging like two legs of a pair of pants meeting at the crotch, with the new center of mass at the barycenter of the previous orbiting pair. I loved these questions by the way, I can tell you put some real thought into them.
> What you're missing is that while you may need someone like me to get this done, people like me don't necessarily need you to create that kind of value.

> I may not want to assume the risk of startup business right now but if you're going to offer the deal on those terms...

The author is asserting that a company needs him or her more than they need the company, then confesses to being reluctant to take the risk of starting a business themselves. As such they're actually depending on the company to shoulder the risk they're not willing to take; they actually do need the company to create value.

The author should decide which of the two statements quoted above has precedence. Either they depend on some other company to shoulder the risks, or they start one themselves.
Neither does identifying the company and potentially identifying yourself
That's most of it.

The rest of it is suggesting to the population at large there's such a high demand for these positions they should enter the market and pursue that career. The idea is to flood the market with labor to drive labor costs down by pretending there aren't people qualified to do the work.
Then you don't need the work associated with that job to be done very badly. Yet it will still be marketed as "an opportunity to change the world".
I agree with your calculations but some managers seem to not have done this math yet.

As result, what we have are poor hiring evaluations, horrible onboarding, etc.
