Consultant here. 20% cut is pretty normal. 25% is a bit high, but not excessive.

Also, no, recruiters often don't charge a one-time fee anymore - they will often get an initial fee plus a percentage of the employee's salary if they stay for a full year.

To your next point, what you're describing about going direct to the client is not only likely a breach of contract, but also generally a dick move. If you want to get 100% of billable with no sales/subcontracting commission, find your own client.
Wait til the CMD key loses responsiveness. Hate having to CMD+V multiple times to paste something. Maybe I should just reprogram the option key or go back to my old Mac where all the keys work flawlessly.
I understand what you're saying, but it doesn't change that seeing additional fees after an initial decision seriously puts me off. Note that I'm from Europe, i.e. if the sticker on the shelf says something is 5.99, it's 5.99, not 6.47.

I also often do feel cheated because the shipping fees often match or exceed non-discounted consumer postage fees, and many stores just use it to advertise deceptively low prices. The argument here is "handling cost", but a grocery store also has handling costs - and how would you feel if a "check-out fee" was added at the end?

When I'm on a shopping site to buy an individual item, I want to know "how much do I have to pay to have this item in my hand". I don't care if you charge $5 for the item and $10 for shipping, or $15 with free shipping.

If the shipping fee is clearly advertised (i.e. in legible, discoverable font right next to the price) and is reasonable, it's one thing. But patterns I often see and always hate:

- ridiculous shipping fees used to advertise lower prices than others when the actual price is higher (sucks if the platform you're using sorts by price, not total cost - like Amazon does!)

- charging 9.99 for shipping for something that comes in a barely padded envelope with 1.50 worth of postage on it

- shipping costs well hidden, so you have to spend time before you know what the actual price you'll pay is

I consider "free shipping" not "manipulating me into thinking that shipping doesn't have cost". I consider it a promise that what I see is what I pay (i.e. I consider that transparency). Without it, if you see $19.99 on a web site, it could mean $19.99, or $39.98, and you often can't easily tell.
I think you are being too charitable. While there is some selection bias where people who have stories of police are more likely to report bad ones, most people get by by simply not interacting with the police.

The problem is a lot of legitimate issues do not end up documented. For example, an officer in a nearby small town was ordering drugs to people's houses and trying to pick them up. Did he have delusions of grandeur, and wanted to stage some bust? Did he want to sell them himself? Did he want to plant them on the teenagers at the local highschool?

We'll never know, because somehow what he was doing was never documented, he was never charged, and he "left of his own volition" for another department.

How many local cases are tainted because of this cop? Every drug charge years back is now suspect and should be thrown out. But it wasn't documented or reported.

I am unable to see why your comments are being downvoted. Even if you owed money I do not see how state can compel your bank to hand over your personal wealth to recover that. They should employ the exact same methods as some other business might use to collect their debt, going to court should be the last step.

When something rises to the level of a recall, especially for Apple (who denied that logic board issues were an issue on two separate models of MBP for me for months before issuing recalls), it rises a bit beyond "anecdote".
Wow, impressive results! Already a few examples in the comments of what bad actors could do this tech. I wanted to share an example of something good.

I lost my dad about 6 years ago after a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and a 3 month rapid diagnosis. I have some, but not a lot of video content of him from over the years. My mom still misses him terribly so for her 60th birthday I tried to splice together an audio message and greeting from her saying what I thought he would have said.

The work was rough and nowhere near what this Google project could produce. She listens to that poor facsimile every year for her birthday. It's therapeutic for her. With some limits for her mental health of course, I'm sure she would love to hear my dad again with this level of fidelity.

And so would I.
Im not an expert, but LP since it refers to investors is likely a limited partners.

VCs are probably also structured as limited partnerships.

Limited partnerships will typically have "General Partners" who have voting control and no liability protection. And Limited Partners who have no voting control, but have liability protection. All the partners are "owners".

A partnership agreement can probably structure control any way, but in my limited experience the above are generally true.

Limited partnerships are tax advantaged structures that dont require any W2 wages to be paid to execs (unlike S corps and LLCs). This means all the money can be given out as distributions which avoid all self employment taxes. The main advantage of an LP (like an LLC or S corp) is that they are tax pass through entities so income taxes are only paid once (unlike a C corp)

Unlike an S corp, limited partnerships can distribute tax liability to GPs and LPs using any algorithm they wish. LLCs must distribute tax liability to shareholders according to their ownership percent.
This enforces the well-known rule that, if an article asks "Can...?" or "Does...?", the answer is always 'No'.

The context here is app based transit. A fix route bus stuck in traffic can handle 30x as many passengers as the same bus running an app based route. Add in the other features you name and the bus can get 10x more than the bus in transit. Then you can go to a train (subway or elevated) and get another 10x over that!.

Conclusion: app based transit isn't useful if you need to move masses. (Apps can be useful if there are a few rare trips that the otherwise good local system cannot handle)

This:

>My advise, in the contract with your friend make sure, that HE is listed as your customer

That is a reasonable margin, but only when your friend is willing to earn it. Paying for value now will serve you later.

Then, yes! Up your rates for work you source. Leave the margin there for work brought to you.

Find enough, and form a firm. That is where the real money is for both of you. Seems like your friend is already thinking along those lines.

Join him, bring others to the party and make similar deals.

This will leave you and your friend as peers, a great basis for establishing a firm.

Invest in your networking with your time freed up by other people taking on work. Bank some money so you can offer similar value to others.

It wasn't "scientific racism". First of all its discussion of science pertained to differences in gender, not race. And the author did not argue that women were worse at engineering, but rather that gender differences affect preferences.

While other people may have used his memo to justify sexist beliefs about the capability of female engineers, attributing those words to the original author is at best intellectually dishonest if not outright dishonest.

Respectfully - were you a programmer during the last recession? I only ask because this power dynamic you imply is inherent in being a programmer can change (and has changed) in a matter of weeks and you'll find the entire industry is not hiring, not seeking consultants, and not looking to buy your *aaS product.

There were a lot of desperate programmers during the great recession (and before that, the dotcom bust)

Of course not. The people who complain on HN and switch to the “windows subsystem for linux” are a fringe minority. The rest of the industry is still jamming on a Mac.

I'm about the same distance from Boston in a fairly rural town in the middle of about 3 houses on 100 acres. And that's not especially unusual for this area. So I'm just a little over an hour from the city and am even near a commuter rail line.

I think a lot of people imagine larger cities and their immediate suburbs on one hand and rural Wyoming on the other. There are plenty of places--many with pretty affordable housing--that are comfortably within the radius of major cities (in terms of jobs, culture, amenities, etc.) but which are not urban living.

I applaud this effort. I really think the UI team that built SwiftUI at Apple really screwed up by

1. Making it tied to the OS.
2. Not building it in a way that its Open Source.

Yes I've read comments from Apple engineers that proclaim it relies on new features of UIKit/AppKit. Then, why not open source those UIKit/AppKit changes? Or, don't build the framework in such a tight-coupled way.

v1 should be about getting early adopters by allowing maximum platform reach and incrementally filling in the gaps.

So I'm hopeful this effort or any similar effort becomes the way forward for a lot of projects.

Firefox on Android is a bit clunky, but Mozilla is currently working on a new version that will (hopefully) be much cleaner and faster. You can try it now as "Firefox Preview" on the Google Play Store.

I use it pretty much exclusively now, and though it doesn't block all ads and doesn't have addon support yet, it seems to prevent the intrusive ones from being a problem. I do keep Firefox for Android around with uBlock Origin just in case, but I rarely have to use it.

Alon’s continued insistence on super spiky housing with a focus on towers remains something I can’t get behind.

The East Village is mostly 3-5 story mixed use apartment buildings. It has a population density of 82000 people per square mile.

If we could get Queens and Brooklyn up to that, we could literally double the population of the city.

We know what happens when NY gets big tower housing - it turns into the Upper West Side, Midtown West or FiDi all of which are miserable places to walk through.

It’s not just NY. I spent a few months living in São Paulo (Pinheiros and Jardin’s) which does exactly what Alon suggests - big towers near subway stations that are spaced far apart often with awkward tiny buildings next to them and fall off in density a kilometer or so away. Also miserable.

What the spiky housing near trains theory fails to address is that ultimately housing is for people to have lives. And there is a scale at which life is comfortable - it’s like the East Village, like Miraflores in Lima, like Ximending in Taipei.

If we reduce the problem to people per square meter and transit carrying capacity problem we can theoretically make space for people but I’m not so sure they’ll want to live in them.

It is really hard for me to believe that it would be better to push past the 5-7 story mark instead of just trying to spread the 5-7 story housing zoning wider.

If I haven’t convinced you yet, consider this - if you brought the greater NY area to the density of the East Village it could fit over 370 million people or roughly the entire population of the United States.

So yeah, no towers please.
Docker Hub does make money with paying for private repo plans but not sure how much that is and how many people are in the "newly restructured" Docker org
Braswell's main push is his project RPerl which is a low-magic Perl5 subset compiled, with its best performance achieved by writing sections of your application in C++.

Urban's CPerl actually in many cases speeds up stock Perl5 code when there is no magic and falls back to comparable speeds to mainline when there's Perl magic involved.

Neither of these projects is part of mainline Perl. They are both forked and little has made it back to mainline largely because they have different goals but also due to personal conflicts these two have with large swathes of the community.

Both are very competent developers. That's not the problem with them trying to speak for the community they have rejected.

This is a big step forward for Helm. Tiller has been a major pain point in the past, although I understand the design decisions why it was placed here in the past.

> In Helm 3, we now use a three-way strategic merge patch. Helm considers the old manifest, its live state, and the new manifest when generating a patch.

I will have to test this out, but honestly I think that any sort of "strategic" merge is probably the wrong approach to take when dealing with so called "idempotent" infrastructure.
I took that line to be sarcasm.
From a contrarian investing perspective, the number of non-finance companies branching into finance indicates that we are near the end of this credit cycle. This is large-scale capitulation.

Ads aren't inherently bad, but modern digital advertising has been co-opted by bad actors. Brave offers an ad-free experience by default; this is necessary for your privacy and safety online.

But users are increasingly more aware that protecting themselves from harmful ads also means stripping their favorite creators of support. This is where Brave steps in to offer a complete solution, rather than the partial solution of "just block and forget".

Brave Ads are opt-in, entirely private (data never leaves your device), and pay the user 70% of the ad revenue. By default, that 70% will flow out to the sites/properties you visit on a monthly basis. If you like, you can choose to keep some (or all) of it for yourself.

So we don't necessarily want a Web full of ads. We want a Web full of empowered users who have control over their data and attention.

On a section dedicated to offering alternative explanations to sexism for the gender gap in tech, James writes:

>Extraversion expressed as gregariousness rather than assertiveness. Also, higher agreeableness.
This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading.

>Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance).This may contribute to the higher levels of anxiety women report on Googlegeist and to the lower number of women in high stress jobs.

The implication is that it's partly natural that women do worse and get lower salaries at tech. In case there's any adoubt, the section it's written in is titled "Possible non-bias causes of the gender gap in tech", in the subsection "Personality differences".

> The whole-account "ban" was a common anti-spam measure we use.

It's strange to me when someone restates the misbehavior as though it's a justification. If someone is abusing commenting, block them from commenting, sure. Don't disable all their other products. If someone is abusing two products, disable their whole account, then? Sure, if you want. That reduces the false-positives by about a square factor (0.1% -> 0.0001%)

The Dilemma of Code Reuse in Microservices
LastPass Now Requires Character Classes in Master Passwords
Since Damore explicitly said that he thought that the women working at Google had passed the same bar as the men, and hence are all qualified to be there, anyone who say "Damore wanted women to get paid less" or "Damore wanted women to get fired from Google" or anything like that just didn't read the words. They might have read the memo, but not the words, they saw that some of the things he said resembled alt-right talking points and then assumed that he had all the normal alt-right beliefs.

Note that I still think there are some questionable things in the memo, but the way people demonize it shows that they can't read controversial texts or didn't read it and just relied on second hand information from those who can't read controversial texts.

I would say runners might be in this category. I often get emails from Altra, RunningWarehouse and a host of other shoe companies and I will open them up and take a look. I think it was about a month ago that I received an email from RunningWarehouse about some shoes I hadn't thought of at a good deal and I went ahead and bought them even though I didn't need another pair. Another time about 3 months ago Altra sent over a email about a special edition pair which again didn't need already have 5 pairs of shoes but I bought them anyway.

The reason I go through and buy them is because I know I will eventually need another pair and I would much rather buy a pair on sale then need a pair and have to pay more.
