You are still describing a situation where a client connects directly to a server.

At Google, those client connections are probably kept open at a load balancer. The load balancer has its own connections to servers on the other side, and those will be as short-lived as possible, so that the server is available to service the next request the lb sends its way.

If you start talking about server-side push technologies, you are keeping a long-lived connection open from the server, through the load balancer, to the client. That will affect the dynamics of the load balancing - it's not as simple as round-robin or random distribution that short-lived requests allow. Consider, for example, a server that becomes overloaded. With short-lived requests you can just add more hosts to the LB pool. With long-lived requests you might need to start thinking about migrating connections, or forcefully terminating some connections if the server hits some kind of load threshold, as well as adding hosts.

It's not impossible, it just makes it more complicated and less reliable, which is not what you want for something that just updates a score. As others have pointed out, it's probably just fetching a static file that gets updated periodically.

Question: what's the farting protocol in the office? Current strategies I've tried have been:
Letting it out as it comes - This is bad for everyone and causes a noticeable odor and occasionally sound
Letting it out in small bursts - the smell is never too bad if it's noticeable at all, however there's a chance you'll misjudge the pressure and let out too much at once
Hold it in - This is extremely painful but I have done it when I fear the frequency of releasing gas as often as I'd like to would be extremely disruptive
Go to the toilet - I find this strategy borderline useless because by the time you've reached the toilet the situation has somehow resolved itself
In all honesty I was hoping Google leadership would come to see this as being in everyone's interest. I'm reasonably comfortable with a vendor-centric mechanism at this point, but I'd be just as comfortable with the CNCF. It's a mature body and widely trusted. Or the CFF, for that matter.

There are very few technological solutions to political problems.
The 10-month working year is a core issue here. It's hard to convince voters and other government workers that teachers deserve a X% or XX% raise, when teachers receive 2.5-3x (summer break, plus other holidays) more paid leave than the average American. That paid leave is worth something: I think many people would choose a job with a $50k salary and 10 weeks of leave over a $60k salary and 3 weeks of leave.

The obvious fix would be to get rid of the summer break, and give teachers a ~20% increase in salary to compensate them for the increase in working days. This would solve other problems as well: Summer break causes serious childcare problems for working-class families, and research indicates that it probably hurts educational outcomes as well. However, this is unlikely to happen for various reasons: It would stretch (or over-stretch) the limited budgets of local school districts, and summer break is politically popular and has relatively powerful state-level lobbying from tourism-related businesses.
Checking my payslip, health insurance is 10% of gross and pension is 25%. If you want to pay someone €5000/month you spend about €10,000/month in my country (there is also a 10% income tax and other smaller taxes).
It will still be owned by a private company you have no control over, which isn't necessarily better
Right. The tariffs mean that American airlines have to pay more for Airbus machines, especially for those they already ordered. And of course, with things being as they are, Airbus has little incentive to lower prices, as they have such a big backlog.
>> When I was at Capital One, I wanted to understand if it was possible to keep loans as an option for the people who have exhausted all their better alternatives—without also causing suffering for those who would be better off forgoing purchases or borrowing money from friends and family. After five years, I concluded it was more or less possible to achieve that goal—to do the good loans without doing the bad loans.

>But I can't see why she thinks that.

The answer, which is this clearly the author's position, is self-evident if one moves from assessing the situation from the profit-motive lens: a stop to the practice of predatory lending.

Earlier, the argument was "Isn't this consistent with poor people needing loans": they don't need loans, they need a livable wage (which I know is a whole different story so won't go into that), but since they can't don't have a livable wage, they need financial support to tide them from non-livable paycheck to non-livable paycheck, that does not cost an arm or a leg, as they make sacrificial decisions as to what to make do with/without.

The argument that people are being given more choice is a lie - there is literally no choice here.

The lending is literary predatory as it is i) from a lender of last resort and ii) comes with interest and fees that would be intolerable to anyone with options.

Non-predatory lending is just one part of what the writer describes as ".. do the good loans without doing the bad loans."

Yes, but also, the euro simply wasn't designed to handle the magnitude of what was happening in the financial crisis, it didn't have a central bank capable and government capable of stepping in to support the banks the way the FED did in the US.

In other words, they were trying to prevent pure unmitigated chaos, the kind of chaos that leads to outright depressions.

This crisis was only 10 years ago and already people seem to forget just how bad it was.

Exactly. Hardline capitalism assumes that everyone is a rational actor, and that therefore nobody offering a product or service can be at fault for harm coming to their customers. The problem is that people are often not able to be rational actors:

- People can have bad or incomplete information: misleading advertising, lack of expertise in every subject area that affects their decisions, etc.

- People can lack freedom to act: monopolies, lock-in, etc.

- People can have their rationality itself undermined through desperation, emotion, or addiction

Some of these problems have been patched over with laws. False-advertising law, nutrition labels, terms/agreements. Many have not. The third, and to a lesser degree the first, are the most relevant to the OP.

Simple. Everyone is getting into EV.

There isn't a car company around right now that doesn't have an electric model coming out in the next couple of years. And so Tesla has nowhere to go but down.
Older people may not be his intended audience. But, yeah it seems creepy when you think of 50 year old men watching the video.

But this problem is nearly universal to all boyfriend/girlfriend roleplay asmr videos.

What if the person watching is much older or younger(like an 8 year old or 50 year old) etc.

Youtube doesn't offer much in terms of setting an age group for an intended audience. You could tag is as mature, but that only splits it to 18+/ or not 18+. And even if someone were to tag their video as being for a specific gender or age group, there is no preventing someone from outside that group watching it.

It may be awkward, but it comes with the territory. Asmr artists on youtube have pretty much come to accept it.

Especially since Iraq is leaning on private companies (ISPs) to get them to shut down the internet.

The one advantage that Starlink might have is, it might be a company beyond the reach of the Iraqi government, and therefore less likely to give in to their pressure to close off access. But what we really need is several such companies, not just one.
This really isn’t answering the question. If a company is supply constrained, why would they be reducing prices? That’s literally the exact opposite of what should happen.

Yeah, and this makes so much sense considering how easy it is to find a high-paying 2-month temporary job. /s

It's the old "You don't understand, teachers only work 10 months out of the year!" argument but dressed in some nice statistical clothing. It's asinine to make that argument because teachers can't actually get paid for the other two months. When I was temping in a warehouse unloading shipping containers one summer, there were a few teachers there who were just making ends meet until the school year started.

> (2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.

See, this is where things go wrong. So they've got mean wage figures which are constructed both on a fact (hourly wage) and an assumption (working hours).

I know n=1 but, my girlfriend is a teacher and I see her working about 40 hours a week, for a 24h job. She has a 0.6 FTE contracted position (and an according 60% monthly salary), she's at the school about 4 days a week. On her off-day, every single evening before work and after work, and at least one, sometimes two days of the weekend, she's grading papers, designing exams, preparing lessons, calling up parents, responding to students on their education platform (some saas application on laptop & phone) etc etc.

There's no way she can handle a 1.0 position, she'd burn-out within 1 or 2 years. She knows this, all of her colleagues know this. Almost everyone works part-time.

She does teach difficult classes (lots of kids from low socioeconomic background, crappy parents, many distractions, little socialisation skills etc etc) but even teaching 'easy' kids, you'll still top-out at 0.8 FTE for the same mental effort / working hours / strain of 1.0 FTE at a 'normal' job (like mine, corporate job at a financial institution).

Hourly wages can't be straight-up compared between jobs high in mental or physical strain (e.g. teaching or construction) versus say an administrative office job. You just can't last 40 years working the former jobs at a full-time position. Not the average person.
> This seems to use private education as a benchmark for the entire argument. From quit rates, to pay, to conditions, and beyond, but ignores the obvious which is that private pay and private conditions are largely pinned to be just above public salaries and conditions (meaning private education cannot be used as a benchmark for when someone is under-paid, over-qualified, or has too high of a quit rate because they are related).

Huh? The article makes a ton of arguments. Most of which do not hinge on any comparison to private education. This is the most core argument being made:

> Reporters might be more skeptical if they realized that EPI's own pay-gap methodology leads to some other conclusions that are, to put it delicately, less intuitive. Using the same Census data and the same basic techniques that EPI applies to teachers, we find that registered nurses are "overpaid" by 29%. Meanwhile, telemarketers deserve a big raise, as they currently suffer a 26% salary penalty. Aerospace engineers are apparently overpaid by 38%, but "athletes, coaches, and umpires" are paid 21% less than their skills are worth. Photographers should consider going on strike, as they make 16% less than comparable workers. Firefighters are moochers by contrast, taking in 25% above their rightful salaries.

> If all this sounds ridiculous, it's because EPI's method is so simplistic. To arrive at its 21% pay gap, EPI merely compares teacher salaries with the salaries of people who have roughly the same number of years of education and the same demographic characteristics. More specifically, EPI performs a regression analysis using Census Bureau survey data, in which respondents provide information on their salaries along with their age, education, region of residence, marital status, and other factors that are predictive of earnings. Included in this analysis is a "dummy variable" indicating whether the individual is a public-school teacher. The coefficient on the dummy variable represents the effect on salary of being a teacher after controlling for all of the other factors listed above.

Nowhere is private education mentioned.
At least it's a another competing choice.

Yeah came here to talk about the same thing. Teachers have a 40 hour a week in the school job paired with a 10-20 hour wfh job preparing lessons, grading papers, etc. Those summer months are paid for by extra hours during the school year as far as I’m concerned.

This is also not even getting into how much teachers spend of their salary money on the classroom. Which is so prevalent that there’s a tax deduction for it. How many masters professions involve spending salary money for the employer?
For a long time there was a bizarre loophole in Texas. Apparently, the decision whether or not to pay into Social Security was made on a per-school-district level. Most districts do not, so do not receive Social Security. Some do, and those retiring from there did get SS. The super-secret trick was to resign from your current position, somehow work for a week or so at one of the minority of districts, then officially retire and collect both your normal pension and social security. I have no idea how it actually worked, I just watched a couple of teachers of my acquaintance do it.

I believe the loophole has been shut down for several years.

I don't know if I'd be impressed if a guy did this.

In theory, this sounds like a fairytale, an ordinary guy turns out to be a multi-millionaire.

In practice, this means that he lied to my face the entire time, presumably got his family and friends to lie to me as well, because apparently the entire time we were dating he thought that I might be a gold digger?

Creating an entire separate identity because of your gold digger paranoia doesn't seem like a healthy behavior.

I'm a freelancer in the position of an interim department head. I've never had such ungrateful and hard to work with team members. Somehow the people above me and around me want to keep them. On top of that, getting anything done with other departments is like pulling teeth. Of course I'm judged on how much I get done, which means that I end up doing a lot of the work myself.
Sometimes I wonder if it's all my fault but that doesn't help me either. I just want out but the money is too good.
"Substantially more time off" is probably the wrong way to look at it when you don't get paid for the two or three months off.

Technically there aren't any compulsory NI contributions below a minimum threshold (~£8k per year). Obviously you're going to hit that if you're paying employees, but for companies with multiple directors/founders - they can pay themselves minimum salary + take dividends (which don't require NI contributions to be paid).

Above that threshold means you pay an extra ~13% in employer NI contributions on top of the gross salary of your employees.

I'd like more info on that as well (as part of Team Red). And, for comparison, what language(s) you feel are best for that, and what features lead to that.
Wow, that twitter feed is obnoxious.
Flip side: intellectuals tend to like intellectual pursuits. Having a dumbed down teaching curriculum means turning these people away, not for monetary reasons, but for lack of stimulation that is easily accessible in the private sector.

My mother, and many other people I know who wanted to go into teaching, wanted to do so because they wanted to be teachers, not the pay. What turned them off to the profession is the incompetence demonstrated by most teachers, professors of education, and school administrators.
Yes, I agree. Definitely try to minimise posts with titles like "The American Corporation Is in Crisis". Stick to the data like: America being one of the productive economies in the world, American management being high-quality, American capital markets being high-quality...srs, it is amazing to me that you think you are being objective. You see this over and over here (probably due to the overrepresentation of engineer-types who don't understand how to argue or what an actual argument is...as in this case), the "wrong" facts being treated as subjective, the "right" facts being treated as objective.

Btw, for any avoidance of doubt (because unf, you need to say this kind of thing on here otherwise the neckbeards will get triggered): I have postgrad qualification in studying this (economic history/ipe), I have studied this for most of my adult life, and I have practical knowledge of this analysing companies in Europe and US when I worked as an equity analyst. If you think I said anything subjective or controversial, you shouldn't be correcting other people. Keep doing God's work.

> - In high cost areas like the Silicon Valley, almost every teacher is married to an engineer or is the child of an engineer. That is why they don't need a second job. Because they have a support network.

This reminds me of a girl in one of my teacher education classes(I have a certification that I've never used because software engineering pays way better and was easier to break into back in '09). We were talking about teacher pay and she mentioned that since she was going to have her husband support her she didn't see any reason to campaign for a higher salary, which was pretty inflammatory for just about the entire rest of the class.
