Well, I started out by agreeing with you. For lots of reasons I won't go into, local cost of living adjustments are a bad idea and employee comp should be as flat as possible. International complications can make that tough but I'm ignoring that.

But in a very fundamental way, I disagree with you. The reality is that you as a job-seeker have options and constraints when you are looking for a job. If a company isn't willing to pay you what you'd get if you were in Boston, but you aren't willing to move, then you have an impasse. If another company is will to pay that, then you take that offer. You have a set of offers and you take the best one available - not one that measures up to a hypothetical ideal.

You may want things, but that is totally immaterial to an employer. It depends on how valuable your skills are and how rare they are, regardless of location.
You can clearly see that they are hard to remember by the frequency with which people make errors. That two opinions are stated with the same rhetorical backing doesn't give them the same empirical backing.

I am exploratively beginning to offer M&A coaching for CEO/founders of smaller startups (less than 5M in ARR). This is basically a service I wish I have had access to when (and before!) I sold my own SaaS ML company last year.

I will share everything I have learned about the small-time M&A market and process, including:

* managing your own psychology and expectations as founder/CEO

* working with M&A advisors, 'banks' and your lawyers

* managing and preparing your shareholders/investors/team

* negotiating term sheets and valuations

* housekeeping and getting through due diligence

Note that I will not introduce you to a buyer or get your company sold. Instead, my goal is to help you as a founder to be more "M&A ready" when the time is right.

What if exposing them to surveillance is actually educational? What if it helps them form models in their head that make noticing it’s overstep easier?

Maybe this elaborate demonstration of surveillance is being used as a teaching moment by a woke English teacher?

Just look up videos on youtube of westerners who live in China so that you can easily understand the giant chasm of difference between the cultures and system. Even if CA does something similar, there are ways to keep your privacy protected, especially if you're willing to go out of your way and get a lawyer. In China you're basically owned by the government and good luck trying to find workarounds without feeling like you're a wanted criminal.
Great examples.

Surprised it overlooks salt, especially as it mentions "Spices were among the first engines of globalization". The salt mines in the Salzburg ("Salt Fortress" or "Salt Castle"!!) were operating 7000 years ago and have been a considerable source of the areas riches, starting with the Celtic population trading to Greeks and Romans.

Salt played a role in both the American and the French revolutions:

Well, if they want me to build a business on their product then yes, they owe me an explanation as to why I'd do such a thing. As this announcement stands, I wouldn't trust them to focus on the customer first and hence won't be using what they build.

This has been happening since the 80s. We all seen metal detectors and such in low income schools. But we all just laughed it from movies while we continued to work on our cozy advertising and data collection jobs. Maybe even buying the Coolio soundtrack.

Now that it reached your own kids, only now, it is outrageous.
That isn’t really unusual for china. Often times, they just introduce a law without any plan on enforcement, and everyone just ignores it until they can’t anymore. It really isn’t a problem as China isn’t a rule of law country, everyone is used to this.
For what it's worth: I have tracked, managed, and recovered hundreds of devices using tools that were hardent against detection and removal at the express request of the device owners in enterprise, educational, and private settings.

One purely linear constraint is time. In many health care fields, it simply takes time for clinical studies to collect data, from which the next generation of clinical studies can be planned, and there's no good way to meaningfully speed up that process.
To a substantial degree, yes. Vertical integration reduces the dynamism of the market.

I used a cover-all term, because there are too many to really name. Facebook is a co-conspirator in defrauding American elections, Amazon uses their data to kill small businesses, Google has been repeatedly fined in the EU for using search anti-competitively. Those are just 3 tech companies, and doesn't get into how data is used abusively by credit agencies, banks, and other financial institutions.

Regulating industry is a fools errand, and part of how we wound up here. Breakups are the only self-executing, corruption-resistant solution.

Are our tech companies the most competitive at in the world? The largest companies have been cutting off our startups at the knees for a decade, so we have no idea how competitive we could actually be. It doesn't really seem like our big tech companies have to compete much at all these days, actually.
Just give it another few hundred years and clear backpacks and other stuff will be part of american culture/religion.
I think the OP is making that point that Python was successful because of how relatively simple and high-level it is, thus Swift has potential in that area for the same reason. Rust is hardly approachable by "the masses", certainly all the ML-first engineers who are not as hard-core on the programming mindshare, hence why Python became king.

Hi -- thanks for the questions, to each: 1) we're live in CA, OR, UT, CO, IL, MI, OH, IN and MI (so 9 states); we'll be launching in many more over the coming months; 2) insurance licensing happens at three levels -- for the entity (i.e. our insurance subsidiaries), for the program (the insurance products we've launched) and for people involved in selling/distributing the product. 3) Program approvals range from a few weeks to up to 9-12 months, depending on the state (in the U.S. insurance is regulated primarily by the states). There's no requisite to be a U.S. citizen to get insurance licenses, at least as far as I'm aware; and 4) yes, all of our people involved in selling (or in insurance-speak "producing") are and will be licensed.

Normally I'm for unions, but recently we were in negotiations for about a year, and when it came down to strike authorization meetings they fed us with so much BS to get us to vote to strike in order to make our employers give us more money. Things they stated they were not going to give up, ended up being given up.

I'm as anti-prescriptivist as the next linguist, but I do admit I find the "greengrocer's apostrophe" ugly. Perhaps because it's unnecessary -- confusing "it's" and "its" is a simple enough mistake to make, but the rule for plurals is simply "add an s" and no more effort is required. I suspect I find it galling because people make work for themselves, which somehow makes it worse.

I'm all for people who do guerilla copyediting, fixing incorrect signs, especially if they do so in an amusing way. Just carping about it, however, isn't very productive.
This also requires that we have someone else who does animations for us, rather than doing all the UI ourselves.

> You have no idea what would happen if Hong Kong had "2A rights".

Right, because they don't. Just like every other country that slips into tyranny. The absence of 2A rights in countries ruled by tyrannical regimes is deafening.
If you are an adult, and you have a car, you can move. If you have so many items that you can't "afford" to move, you sell some of those items and suddenly you not only have money for relocation, but less things to move as well. There will never be a country, society or civilization where the entire population can afford to live in the most expensive areas - and that's okay.

Sure push back. But I don't think these companies should be getting so much heat. A Bay Area company offering remote work to non-Bay Area employees but at a discount is doing more to increase non-Bay Area wages than a Bay Area company that won't employ non-Bay Area workers.
However, density taken to the extreme eventually leads to bedspace apartments, which seem like a pretty dystopic outcome.

I don't necessarily mind density and I'm not trying to invoke a slippery slope, but sometimes reading the pro-density folks it sounds like there is no recognition that there could be such a thing as too dense.

I mean, I guess I could refine it to say "primary residence" instead of "first property"? Otherwise, yea it's an analogy and it will break down at some point.

This is more meant to attack the idea of a primary residence being an "investment". If people insist on calling it an investment, then it's fair for me to insist that it's only covering a short position, because you need somewhere to live.

I'd say that lashing out violently is a pretty good sign that a person doesn't have empathy for other people. And what's more entitled than thinking you have the right to end other people's lives?

>Personally I would explain the fact that most of these shootings are committed by men by the fact that men are generally speaking more likely to react in a physically violent way to stress than women are.

Men are not rabid dogs incapable of making their own decisions. If someone lashes out violently and murders a bunch of people, they're responsible for the choice to play god with other people's lives.
Not to mention "look at this set of problems that the furthest to the left metro area in the US has! It must be the fault of CAPITALISM!" kind of falls apart when plenty of other metro areas in the US don't share those problems.

I don't want to sound like I am trolling or something. However, I find it hard to take anything Mark Zuckerberg does seriously. For that matter, I am so biased that I have no interest in these interviews at all (maybe to your detriment).

How do you see this? You say that you are an admirer of CZI. In my experience with obnoxious CEO types, they are happy to be philantrophic or "build" things when it suits them, and only then. Do you think it's a net positive? Wouldn't someone else (like Gates or even Buffet) be a better leader for these initiatives? I'm sure that if Mark did not get so successful with FB, it would have been the WA founders, otherwise someone else yet again.

Sorry if this is a steriotypical reaction, but I am sorry; I just can't trust something from camp Zuck.

It's one of my highest upvoted comments ever with 250 points. Not sure why it dropped to the bottom so fast.
As this announcement stands, I ... won't be using what they build.

Considering you literally haven’t been told — let alone allowed to use — what they’ve built, that sounds like a reasonable prior.

> And London being the only city in the top 10 for surveillance outside of China. https://www.comparitech.com/vpn-privacy/the-worlds-most-surv....

While I've no doubt that London is highly surveilled, that data is, to put it bluntly, horse droppings, and should never be cited.

If you look at the sources they cite for stats like "There are 2,985,984 cameras in Shanghai" (Wow, look at the precision on those figures! Six decimal points, if we express it in scientific notation!), you will find that they take a random unsourced number from a blog post from 2013, then add 20% to it 6 times over, because they assume (Also unsourced) 20% year-over-year growth.

Meanwhile, that same source claims that there are only 3,600 cameras in San Diego. As anyone who's ever been in a convenience store, bank, airport, or workplace can tell you, that's complete baloney. You can probably visit enough businesses in a normal day that will have you walk past 3,600 cameras. (And the source for that number? A news article about the city government installing 3,000 new intersection cameras. Apparently we are to believe that across all the businesses, government buildings, and private residences of San Diego, there are only 600 cameras.)

I'm not sure if the authors in question are just incredibly stupid, or incredibly intellectually dishonest... But my money is on the latter.

tl;dr - please think critically about your sources, especially when they reinforce a pre-conception that you hold. Most of the 'data' you can find on the internet is garbage.

We're on a mission to let anyone create software, by building a platform to let you build apps without code.

We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems:

.

If you're a PRODUCT-FOCUSED ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.

You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser.

You'll be building a Python-based backend that can connect to any data source, and simulate running complex data processes.

You'll taking ideas from programming language design and turning them into flexible functionality that can be used by non-programmers.

You'll be shipping new modules daily, which are used immediately by our users to make their apps work better and do more.

.

If you're a MULTI-SKILLED PRODUCT DESIGNER (UI+UX+Product), come and help us design a modular product that empowers non-developers to build the software they need.

You'll be creating a flexible design system that we can be customized by the user and still look great.

You'll be taking common web features like news feed and messaging, and stripping them down to their most pure form so they work in any app.

You'll be designing a set of modules that let non-technical users feel empowered and able to create amazing, innovative apps.

.

We're recently funded, and are a fully remote team, but we get together every few months.

We believe in Radical Transparency, being Empathetic and Kind and Making a Dent in the Universe.

Second infinite leverage bug found in Robinhood. Team post on r/wsb, gets banned
I don't disagree with you, but government compulsion makes this a different animal entirely.

The bigger context is that in the US, there is SUPPOSED to be a system in which companies can successfully resist government demands (remember that Apple did this to the FBI when they wanted to crack a criminal's phone passcode), whereas in China, that cannot happen. So yes, people give away their data for stupid conveniences, but Facebook/Google etc aren't supposed to share the data with the government. They have done so, as Snowden revealed, so this is by no means a perfect system.

What really upsets me about China's system is the bigger system of social credit this ties into. You can't get on flights want your score gets too low. The guy exposing fake martial arts masters isn't allowed to leave the country.
