I am never sure, when it's not explicitly stated, so can somebody clarify it for me? These are gross or net annual base salaries? If gross, then what how much taxation is on it usually in the US? (As the majority of responses comes from the US currently)

As a rider, I'm for this. I've had on more than one occasion a driver complain about how little I paid and checking their earning right in front of me. Maybe they were trying to guilt trip me into a higher tip, I don't know.

Side note, ended up using a taxi in Orlando for the first time in years and it was surprisingly a much easier, cheaper, and faster ride (plus the driver knew the area and didn't need nav).

Edit: I know they're doing this to screw drivers ultimately and that's not cool.

I understand. I'll subscribe - and just looking over the parts of the site and going back to the documentation has helped me to wrap my head around a few things that were eluding me.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it and I'm really glad you took the time to post your original answer. It's a real help to me in ways I didn't expect when I clicked into this thread.
I have Autism. I don't know how I feel about this. It's exciting, but would a reversal remove advantageous traits of Autism too? There is little information about adults with Autism compared to what's available about adolescents. In my experience much of the info is about living with disabilities associated with Autism. I haven't found any research that focuses on the beneficial aspects of Autism - anecdotally I feel there are abilities of mind across the Autism spectrum that are especially useful, and for some, seemingly super-human. While one may gain some social skills, how much of their unique abilities would be lost to this process?
As someone who has asked questions there (or at least tried) a few times over the years, and who does constantly end up there when searching for answers I do think it's kind of heap.

The two major problems I see are a) people constantly claiming that questions are duplicates when they aren't, possibly because of poor reading comprehension, skimming, or some sort of Dunning-Kruger type effect, and b) people re-asking questions because they know an existing identical or almost identical question doesn't actually have a correct or useful answer and not really knowing what they're supposed to do about it, particularly as occasional or new SO users.

After those, is the inability of people to comment on answers until they're judged worthy which makes it so people feel forced to use answers as comments.

While I think the site continues to be useful it also seems to be something of an intractable morass.
In theory, but the US laws are a lot weaker and also not well enforced.

Possibly the absolute last market sector where you want people thinking of their products as toys.
It's hard for people to find high quality clothing because evaluating quality is hard and "quality" is sold by many places and it ends up being only an impression.

It comes back to a thought I've had in mind for a while about margins.

Margins are often set as a multiple of material cost. 10x, 100x, something like that. That rather large multiple handles the materials obviously, but also manufacturing, shipping, QA, marketing, overhead, etc.

To make a price competitive product, you minimize your material cost and then use that multiple to set price.

The problems lies in that if you use 2 cent nails instead of 1 cent nails, everything upstream does not double in price. There would be a small increase in cost-of-capital, and other losses related directly to the merchandise, but many many things aren't related at all.

When your product is all the way at the bottom of the quality,price bracket, doubling your materials cost doesn't double your actual marginal cost and shouldn't double your price, but so often it does and stupid quality decisions are made which results in it being very difficult to find decent products.

You end up having to pay super premium quality prices to get things designed and built as they reasonably should be. Or you end up paying hundreds of dollars so the one part that matters is up to spec when the actual difference in cost of that one part was maybe two or three dollars.

Not just that but after having let your morals slide for profit, they will just as easily turn on you when convenient. I can't remember the name of it but there was a substantial Korean grocery store in china that was pushed to shutting down on a whim. I imagine similar stories will happen later as well. It would feel profitable for a few years, it wouldn't last and end up an overall loss eventually.

Can you please specifically say what you want? I mean, how did they fail, what should be done, and how that requirement isn't authoritarian?

To be clear, if they broke criminal laws they should go to jail. If they broke civil laws they should be sued. I'm not some crazy anti-gov person, just someone who believes in personal responsibility and that our blame/victim culture is perverse.

Your post is filled with innuendos and blame. I'd suggest that if you compare a company to 'stealing a lollipop from a kid' you can provide strong and concrete examples of theft. It's a pretty damning accusation.

Also, you are comparing adults making purchasing decisions to someone stealing candy from a kid. To me that sounds like the epitome of authoritarian patronizing. I'm guessing when you say that you don't see yourself as the child, only other adults right?

Links are fragile and one-sided. You might move the destination. You might edit the title of the destination and want that to show up in the link text. You might want the content, not just the title, to be visible (preferably foldable) from where the link is. You might want to be able to see from the destination what links to it.
Would you mind writing them down and sharing somewhere? This would be beneficial to any ethical IoT maker.
> I’m simply stating it’s foolish to expect Google to actively work against their best interests.

I think you're indulging in reification here. Google has no best interests because Google is just a legal fiction with no real-world existence apart from its constituent individuals. The investors have their interests. Management has their interests. The workers have their interests. But Google itself has no interests, and for too long we've conflated the interests of Google's management and investors with those of the company as a whole while disregarding those of the vast majority of the people associated with Google: the workers whose work makes Google's billions in revenue possible while getting pennies on every dollar of value they provide.

> To provide material support and a platform for unopposed speech on a viewpoint they actively oppose.

Management has no business having an opinion on unionization one way or the other. If anything, most managers should be pro-union since they're as likely to get thrown under the bus to keep profits up as their direct reports.

> There’s nothing stopping these employees from doing this on their own free time and with their own resources.

From an opsec viewpoint, the smart thing to do would be to organize outside Google offices and then blindside the company with a wildcat strike, but that's easier said than done when you're expected to work twelve hours a day to prove you're passionate.
ASD isn't really a single condition. It is actually a vast array of different conditions, with a wide array of different genetic and environmental causes. This therapy is only treating one single genetic cause of ASD; most people diagnosed with ASD, their symptoms are not due to this gene. In fact, many cases of ASD probably aren't due to a single gene at all, but a complex interaction of multiple factors, both genetic and environmental.

The big problem with ASD research is ASD's lack of validity (see [1]'s conclusion "The findings reviewed indicate that the ASD diagnosis lacks biological and construct validity"). How do we know that ASD is a condition which really exists in nature, as opposed to simply an arbitrary grouping of symptoms with disparate unrelated causes? Honestly, we don't know that at all, and as this paper argues, there are good reasons to believe the later rather than the former is true. Researchers have been searching for years for evidence for the former proposition, and nothing convincing has been found; at some point, the logical conclusion is you can't find what doesn't exist to be found.

+1 for this.

People forget just how affordable it can be to maintain your own infrastructure. You can have the hardware and network capable of supporting 10X your average traffic loads and still have it operate far more cost effectively than the equivalent traffic on AWS.

At my work, we slashed our overall hosting costs by moving a data warehouse off of AWS and on to our own self-maintained infrastructure.

But with a bloated inefficient IT department or non-savvy negotiations with hardware vendors or transit providers, it can also be more expensive than AWS.

Autism does not only describe people "who don't fit", but also people who would die without someone else caring for them. A society that doesn't regard such people as defective, and doesn't try to help them (when they agree), is simply lying to itself.
>85% of all textiles go to the dump each year

So only 15% of textiles make it into someones home or office and doesn't get thrown out. Where is the waste? I assume it is 1) Unsold stock, 2) Unusable material during manufacturing, and 3) Consumers throwing clothing away in the first year of ownership.

Could we reduce waste most significantly by moving to on-demand clothing manufacturing?

Relevant detail that I'm sure most commenters have not read:

> drivers are directed to a web link that shows a weekly breakdown of their fares, how much Lyft took, and how much all of their riders paid during that time period in aggregate

> Lyft explained how the decoupling of driver and rider payments influenced their decision to no longer show the driver what the rider paid. “Because driver pay is decoupled from what a rider pays, we wanted to highlight aggregate earnings content and basic insights like total hours & booked hours which can encourage drivers to rely less on individual ride details, which can be misleading, and more on the larger weekly earnings picture.”

Ie, drivers can still see what passengers pay on trips, and what Lyft's take is. The only thing they can't see is what individual passengers paid on individual trips.

I don't have a strong opinion on this change, but the above detail seems very relevant to the discussion on why this change is bad for drivers.

Not if voters are rational. Rational voters will weigh everything they see and hear in terms of the track record of the source: how well has this source done at telling me the truth in the past? Obviously an unknown source--still more a source that refuses to identify itself and has no track record at all--will simply be ignored. In an environment like that, hiding the true origin of speech is self-defeating.

Yes, I completely agree. The 'abilities' I have due to Autism have been advantageous for me creatively and professionally, in spite of social struggles. Those abilities aside, people with ASD tend to have high levels of focus and deep knowledge (on one or several subjects), those traits are as important to identity as social norms. I wonder who I would be post treatment if this were available. Would I remember abilities I had that no longer exist? I was diagnosed late in life, at 40. I am comfortable with who I am and if there were any chance I'd lose myself to 'treatment' it would be a hard no for me.

Second hand stores are really hit and miss and I find one needs to sort of drop in regularly to find the good stuff. But when you do find the stuff you need it is at an unbelievable price.
