Your argument here is the crux of the issue: what is "fair pay" for workers? For Tech, is is "SF Rates"? Or are SF Rates inflated because of market dynamics in the region?

Here's Glassdoor info about Google. I chose the following cities because Glassdoor said they had "high confidence". Consider it anecdotal:

(This doesn't account "perks" and RSUs and such which I assume Google's are larger, so Google comp can probably be 20-40% higher. Consider doing a search of your own with $company of your choice to compare.)

Do I want to live in a world where everyone gets paid the exact same for the same work, and everything costs the same everywhere because we have perfectly efficient markets, absolutely.

Do I think companies are dumb for making competitive wages for local markets? Not at all. We live the majority of our life in a local market.

Can workers find companies that are "outliers" that will pay them the same for their work no matter where they are? Yep.

Do I think that due to globalization and a remote work force over time we will have more evenly distributed salary. Yep.

All I want is for you (and others) to bring the same vigor for salary to any tech company thread as people do to GitLab's. We are a tech company that built our compensation model like many other tech companies (and other global companies). We also allow you to work where you live and want to pay a wage that is respectable in that region. Just like Google.

The next time a thread comes up for any company on HN, I want anyone reading's first thought to be: "I wonder if they pay people the same in different cities?" Let's talk about it more than just in GitLab threads, and we can start that acceleration towards perfect salary around the world.

Edit: I think it goes without saying, but I wanna be abundantly clear, these thoughts are my own, and I'm a longstanding member of this community first, and an employee of GitLab second. No one asked me to go on this rant this AM, I was just tired.

He's claiming that, I guess, but he doesn't actually provide any support. It seems totally possible, depending on the technological specifics, to require zero political coordination.
The way we’re dealing with that is that there’s room in the spec where we’re allowed to turn it to “always checked” as a compiler setting, and will if it ever gets good enough hardware support. We’ll see though!

This demonstrates to me that you understand the political power of an armed citizenry, the same group that you used the first half of your post to discredit by suggesting "blowing up a home or two" would be enough to suppress them.

> The collapse of that narrative has in turn unleashed a revival of hard right fascist and hard left socialist ideology in the West.

I disagree with that point.
I agree with everything, including the tangent. China is living proof of how horrible the capitalist "dream" can be in reality, when what flimsy veil of democracy that still existed is stripped away.
Valuable aviation intel to use for their young, but growing, airline industry.
I would argue that failure of Neoliberalism has nothing to do with China and has everything to do with flawed economics which assumes that our planet has indefinite resources and wealth can grow infinitely. Authoritarianism is the natural outcome of unchecked capitalism and Marx predicted that a century ago.
Uh, Weimar republic?
Voxter Communications | Ops/DevOps | Vancouver, BC, Canada | Full-Time Onsite

Voxter Communications is looking to hire Op/DevOps people. We are in the process of moving our bare metal infrastructure to GCP. If you have experience in both bare metal and cloud that's awesome but not required.

We are a small company with 8 engineers and just me as dedicated Ops. Our cloud infrastructure is managed with Terraform, configuration management for both cloud and bare metal is done with Puppet. Our goal is to finish the bare metal migration to GCP and then continue down the path of containerization into Kubernetes. We are also looking at moving our CI system from bare metal (Buildkite) to CircleCI.

Our job posting lists a number of the technologies we work with but we by no means expect anyone to come in knowing them all. We hire primarily culture first and we don't expect anyone to be all knowing.

Quill.org | Software Engineer | New York, NY | ONSITE
React / Ruby / Rails / Python / Machine Learning

At Quill.org, we’ve created an online learning platform to help middle school students, primarily lower income ones, improve their reading and writing ability. Our pedagogy is based on years of research that shows that once students understand the logic behind constructing sentences, their ability to read and write improves dramatically. Unlike common multiple-choice-based learning tools, our tools allow students to practice writing sentences and passages in their browser, while still receiving real-time, focused feedback. This is a challenging engineering problem that we use a variety of methods to solve, from simple regex to machine learning.

Some info about Quill.org:

- We were named one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Education Companies in 2018: https://www.fastcompany.com/40458272/this-machine-learning-p....

- We served over 1 million students last year and are continuing to grow.

- In April 2019, we won a grant from Google’s AI for Social Good initiative which provides us with both funding and mentorship from Google’s NLP experts.

- We’ve been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, AT&T, Black Rock, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (to name a few).

As a member of our engineering team, you will be directly involved in building tools for students, teachers, and administrators. We are looking for developers who can take features from a user story to production. We are a rapidly-growing team of 15 working in the Financial District of New York City. This is a full-time role on-site, and we cannot sponsor a visa at this time.

We're hiring: Junior, Mid-level, and Senior Full-Stack Engineers. Full positions here: https://www.quill.org/careers

"Triggering" is the outrage caused by voicing an unpopular opinion, usually one that is counter to modern socially liberal views.
Your source is an opinion article in an outlet deemed right-biased and of mixed factual reporting.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-examiner/

"In the early 1900s, the AMA lobbied lawmakers to shut down many medical schools."

That's over 100 years ago. No information is provided as to which schools, or what the AMA's reasoning was behind their decision.

Likewise, lobbying to reduce residencies occurred over 20 years ago. The actual reductions were implemented by a Republican Congress and the Clinton administration.

"At the time, they argued there was an impending 'glut' of physicians. It is more likely they were, again, trying to protect their high wages."

Needless to say, that latter assertion is not in any way supported by documentation.
Haha, I think we're going to end up arguing the same point and I'd strongly guess that the whole scene has / had an much of an impact on your life as it has on mine...

I'm pretty much with you. I've got very little time for the punker than thou crowd, but I think it's a pretty interesting area to discuss. I mean, if you're doing something unpopular and it becomes popular and you keep doing it - are you not 'punk' anymore? Equally, if you're doing exactly what the hell you want without worrying about it being a commercial success or not, isn't that about as raw and real as it gets?
I don't think the schedule is aggressive enough for a 2020 Mars launch with the Starship.

It is likely that Starship will be capable by then, but the wow factor is missing. I don't think an interesting mission would be ready. Don't forget that Musk's Tesla was already launched to "Mars". So it would be safer and just as impactful to have an interesting mission planned using Falcon Heavy. The only mission I can think of which might be viable is Starship landing on Mars. However I don't think SpaceX would have proven Starship enough to get approval for that.
What I remember from Yegge’s blog post was that the “have a nice day” bullet point was a joke; Bezos doesn’t spend much time worrying about how each employee’s day is going.

To be fair, "do this or you're fired" is just assumed of every request at Amazon, because they follow through on it often.
Yeah, SFTP + CSV file is still the standard for enterprise software.

The problem is that these kinds of things have to be built to the lowest common denominator, which is usually the customer anyway. The customer in enterprise software is usually not a tech company they typically have outdated IT policies and less skilled developers than a pure tech company would have. Even if the developers are capable of doing something like interacting with a queue they also need to be supported by a technology organization which can deal with that type of interaction.

Some times you get lucky and someone in the past has pushed for that kind of modernization. Or your project really won't work without a more advanced interaction model and you have someone in the organization willing to go to bat for tech enhancement.

But otherwise the default is "Control-M job to consume/produce a CSV file from/onto an SFTP"
I mean, people can believe in what they believe in, right? And there are plenty of articles from the media.
So we should just not prosecute fraud/theft and other nonviolent or white collar crimes at all?
Making the Ultimate Software Sandbox
You do. There are so many referenda, at least in the US, on seemingly inconsequential things that end up having a huge effect on the layout and organization of a city. Transportation taxes, light rail lines, zoning, affordable housing minimums… in aggregate these policies can remake a city.
100%. This is a standard item from the imperial-power playbook. The author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" documented it pretty well.

The basic rundown is that a country sets up international financing institutions, then loans money for infrastructure projects to less developed countries. This is supposed to be spent to hire engineering and construction companies from the lending country, with the promise that your companies will help up-skill the host countries favored companies, which may or may not happen.

The effect of this is that you basically use someone else's money to build up companies and build expertise that you can continue to sell around the world.

Its an obviously great business practice, but very prone to corruption, and ineffective at creating real economic growth in the host country (which is go-to cover story for why its not imperial aggression). The Belt and Road Initiative is basically just this exact strategy writ large.
> There is not a lot of support for oppressive governments that commit genocide against religious minorities and put people in prison for political dissidence.

That's funny, I thought Saudi Arabia was America's close ally. Yuuuge deals on military hardware, great against defenseless Yemeni citizens. Free bone saw with every 10th missile!
The "spineless chicken" Corbyn attack could also have been to muddy the "chlorinated chicken" association too.

Hah. Trying living in much of the Washington, DC area. The notion of a highway chase is mostly ridiculous here, but one has plenty of VIPs hurrying about by helicopter, and now and police searches.
If finding a string involves popping up a modal dialog I can understand navigating by the minimap. Finding a string in emacs is really fast - Ctrl-S, start typing the string, and you're there before you know it. The minibuffer is way better for this kind of interaction than a modal dialog is.
I think it can be as addicting, but HN is far less vapid. Does this make it better? It's hard to say. With FB, I'd find myself reloading, and looking, and not being happy I spent any time there, all to do it again the next day.
I have a 3 (among a few other Sonos products) and it’s literally the easiest thing to use.

Maybe it’s because I’m no longer in the business of amassing a horde of mp3s and instead use Spotify and amazon music.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t opened the Sonos app in months, and instead use Alexa’s integration or Spotify’s integration to play my music.
> We can't defeat the insurgents in Afghanistan

With supply lines halfway across the globe, and a military most of whose personnel don't speak the language, don't know the country, don't know the culture, etc. And, in most of time we've notionally been trying, only a fairly small deployment compared to our total military force.
> This is why we have the second amendment.

It's not. The same "militia" that justifies the second amendment can be federalized by Congress per Article I to "suppress insurrections" (or since 1792 by the President).
I'd rather worry about EU as there is already a large gap there...

That’s interesting to hear. Not trying to troll, but I’d love to hear about what you have found to be better about it.
This isn't denial of service attack, this is unauthorized access to steal technical data.
The 2nd amendment was never created in order to "rebel" against the government. Think about this: it was the goal of the founders of the Constitution to create a new system which would be fair and just and work well. Checks and balances exist in the three forms of government. If you were creating a new system, would you include a clause that says: just in case I'm getting this wrong, let's make sure it's an unalienable right for people to have weapons in case they need to kill me?

The 2nd amendment was actually put in by pressure from slave owners, who needed weapons in order to police slaves. After slavery was abolished, people kept the order of slavery by using tools (guns).

The common "idea" that the 2nd amendment was created for "freedom" can be traced back to a guest post in NRA newspaper written by a teenager which was then promoted heavily by the NRA.

The new Windows Terminal app is a massive improvement on the Windows Console, even while it's in beta.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-windo...

I've found that between OpenSSH for Windows, Windows Terminal and WSL, I don't need PuTTY anymore. It's also nice to be able to use the same SSH keys on Windows and Linux instead of converting PuTTY keys to OpenSSH keys and vice versa.

A Qualitative Analysis of Internet Trolling
Screen. Most of the time saved is not having to try to install whatever bizarre serial driver windows needs.

Also python if you need to programmatically connect and operate a device over serial. Quite easy.
The trouble with Wordpad was that it was not a good editor for plaintext. It was clearly designed for rich text. I preferred third party editors very greatly.
I have to admit that I've been drifting this direction as well, but for different reasons.

Amazon has been getting to be more of a pain in the butt over the past couple of years, as so many sketchy third-party sellers have been cropping up. If I don't pay very close attention, I can end up placing an order from a seller that isn't what I thought, and turns out to be someone that I would have wanted to avoid.

Essentially, it's the same amount of caution that has always been necessary with eBay, and thus removes most of the advantages Amazon had over eBay. Given that, I may as well just go directly to eBay.
The quick fix for desk height is 4 or 8 concrete blocks. You can get half-thickness concrete blocks to make the height 0.5 or 1.5 blocks. For most people, 2 blocks lying flat with the holes horizontal is enough for standing at the desk.
It's complicated, I believe the way it works is that the Community Edition you can download from the Adacore website doesn't have the runtime exception but, if it's built from the code in the FSF's repo, it does. This is Adacore's scheme to make sure that people making money off Ada buy a license.
I never said "price regulation". The government should take steps to ensure things are priced fairly and (even more important) transparently. That will look different for different markets, products, market structures (sometimes the government needs to break up the monopoly), ... The situation in healthcare is very complicated and has a lot of moving parts, but the situation in energy less so (AFAIK), it's just that some externalities are not accounted for at all. Opposing that you have lobbyists (e.g. oil) and ideologically-driven players (e.g. some people want to ban meat).
> Finally there was the company that let me use whatever software I wanted, but had fixed-height desks that were simply too low to fit my knees underneath. Aside from that, it was the best place I've ever worked, but I had to quit after less than a year because my posture was getting noticeably worse just from having to use that desk.

I have broken down and just grabbed some bricks or cinder blocks to jack up such desks in the past. It does make me wonder why so many businesses draw the line and refuse to spend a couple hundred dollars to keep an employee that they are spending six figures on happy. This kind of penny-wise, pound-foolish thinking is endemic.
