Unfortunately, as there is no way to vet submitted information on these kinds of platforms, their use is pretty limited. Some employer can just go about submitting false salary data in order to appear more appealing.

This works the other way around too, someone who was not hired, some ex-employee with some gripe against their previous employer, a misbehaving competitor... Just about anyone can go about submitting false reviews about your company in order to damage your employer-brand.
I wouldn't be surprised if the red hairy people of Australian Aboriginal mythology turn out to be the last stand of Homo erectus, it's just that no fossils have been found yet.
Not saying it’s a bad deal. RDS is a great service. I’m saying that suddenly doubling the cost of a service is not a good look unless the value delivered is also doubled. As a customer, in what situation would you find this acceptable?
Can you enforce a threshold of entries for a certain role after which you start displaying the salary? And then only display it as a range with information about the quartiles?

Otherwise it‘s not so anonymous. Sometimes the combination of role and Salary is enough to point to a single employee. That’s precisely the reason why you only get statistical information at the other sites.

I like the idea. From the demo I could not tell but what measures exist to prevent actors from falsifying information?
The parent said to multiply _only the primes_ from 2 to N, and then add one not factorial plus one.

In your example it would be (2 * 3) + 1 = 7, prime.
I like the idea, but wanted to know how realistic it would be so I made a quick and dirty Python script to download all my bookmarks. If you want to make the same experiment, you can get it from here: https://gist.github.com/ksamuel/fb3af1345626cb66c474f38d8f03...

It requires Python 3.8 (just the stdlib) and wget.

I have 3633 bookmarks, for a total of 1.5 Go unziped, 1.0 Go zipped (and we know we can get more from better algo and using links to files with the same checksum like for JS and css deps).

This seems acceptable IMO, espacially since I used to consider myself a heavy bookmarker and I was stunned by how few I actually had and how little disk they occupied. Here are the types of the files:

31396 text/plain
3034 application/octet-stream
1316 text/x-c++
1123 text/x-po
865 text/x-python
384 text/html
227 application/gzip
218 inode/x-empty
178 text/x-pascal
113 image/png
44 application/zlib
29 text/x-c
28 text/x-shellscript
14 application/xml
13 application/x-dosexec
12 text/troff
5 text/x-makefile
4 text/x-asm
3 application/zip
2 image/jpeg
2 image/gif
2 application/x-elc
1 text/x-ruby
1 text/x-diff
1 text/rtf
1 image/x-xcf
1 image/x-icon
1 image/svg+xml
1 application/x-shockwave-flash
1 application/x-mach-binary
1 application/x-executable
1 application/x-dbf
1 application/pdf

It should probably be opt-in though, like a double click on the "save as bookmark icon" to download the entire file, and the star becomes a different color. Mobile phones, chrome books and raspy may not want to use the spaces, not to mention there are some bookmark content that you don't want your OS to index, and show you preview of in every search.

But it would be fantastic: by doing this experiment I noticed that many bookmarks were 404 now, and I will never get their content back. Beside, searching bookmark, and referencing them is a huge pain.

So definitely something I wish mozilla would consider.
Every job ad I've put up since starting my company has had over 100 candidates. 80 of whom are wholly unsuitable and do not send any cover letter. Another 10 don't bother with the cover letter but may have been suitable. All these are instant rejects with no feedback.

The 10 I phone interview I will at least give feedback to, likewise the 3 who we eventually interview.

Given so many no hopers though just clicking apply or sending a generic CV, I'm not surprised the vast majority get no feedback.
Can you elaborate on why/how they suck? Do you have example links, to set a common ground for the conversation?

I think most fonts that get your attention suck, the best ones are invisible and get you directly to the meaning of text, without getting in the way. So maybe there's a kind of bias (selection or sampling bias?) operating here?

That's a dataset of one, and due to your presence on HackerNews, you're likely more tech-savvy than the average reader of comments on news site, so more able to tell comments by bots apart from comments by humans. If a sufficiently large percentage of the population gets 50%, you can say that it passes the Turing test.

For my part, I got only 60% (12 out of 20). This may be because English is not my first language.

My previous two laptops came with Windows installed, it was XP and Win7, which I happily used for a year or two, until despite my best efforts, the whole system got crudded and slow, and at some point a teensy crashy or maybe I got a virus and that's when I put Linux on the thing. That easily gave the device a few more years of useful life. (my current laptop also came with windows, but I just backed up the factory image, wiped and installed Linux right away).

Anyway, while every version[0] of Windows I have used has become inescapably crudded up and slower over time, on Linux, even the old laptop, the only thing that got slower over time was the web browser. Which has mostly to do with webpages becoming heavier.

I did data recovery on an external drive in 2011. It was pretty bad but I only needed a dozen files or so, rest was backed up. One of the files restored had a borked creation time in May 2020. For some reason I never fixed that, so whenever I accessed that folder and sort by date, that file would be at the top. This is will stop happening soon. I grew so fond of this quirk that I'm almost sad.
I think the idea of only hiring the best is misguided. I’ve hired dozens of people, and I’ve yet to hire a “bad” one. So, either I’m really good at picking the good ones, or there is a low bad candidates per non-bad candidate ratio.

Now, not every one became awesome. But, there are places for even the non-best developers to be productive. Good management is putting best employees on critical systems and others in supporting roles.
Looks very much like glassdoor to me. Good work though.
The total scope of fines is one element.

The fines attributable to a single entity another.

The collectability on those fines, the third.

By scoping responsibility to include the call recipient's telco, you'd address all three of these.

That telco could, of course, adjust its risk-management practices (who it interops with, what the conditions of those interops are, caller identity / reputation) to minimise such risks.

Which would of course be the whole fucking point.
The article said m3 to m5 went up 78%, I don't see that.

It seems you’ve already made up your mind and nothing anyone says will change that :).

The volatile I mentioned isn’t due to concurrency of userspace threads, but to avoid the optimizer from eliminating read/write operations. If the src/dst of those memory ops is DMA’d memory touched by hardware, you’d need to do that. Has nothing to do with concurrency.

Capability to spill to disk is certainly needed, no argument. But “most” of the address space and “most” of the runtime structures? Can you elaborate? Is there an OSS example or some paper or any discussion of such a thing in the open?

You can have custom smart pointers in Rust just as well, and back them with your own mem allocator. While there are features in C++ not currently available in Rust, C++ facilities “far beyond” is hyperbole. How well do you know Rust? Genuine question.

> First of all I do not agree that regulation hinders European companies in any way to compete. You could even make a case that being embedded in more diverse regulatory regimes protects European companies from being overrun by more extremely unregulated regime native companies.

I just started a company myself in Spain. The amount of bureaucracy I had to go through was unbelievable. Furthermore, I have to pay over $300 a month in taxes, even though I am currently not making any revenue. How am I supposed to compete with a U.S company like this? I know this is going on a tangent because my original argument was about overregulation of tech companies specifically. In that sense: U.S companies are allowed to compete in Europe, which means that European companies are at a disadvantage de facto since it is easier to operate in the US. I think that providing the same level of freedom to European companies is what would make it easier to compete at the same level. Trying to level the playing field by over regulating US tech companies is not the way to go.

> Second EU regulation is not just applicable to US companies. It does not make a difference where the company is headquartered. A EU based Uber clone would be subjected to the same regulation as an US Uber. Given the fluid transnationality of those enterprises any differentiation would be completely useless.

Have you heard about the Google Tax law? It is specifically addressed at tech companies making more than $X in revenue per year. Funny how the only companies that fall under that umbrella are US corporations.

> It is also an essential component of long term stability of the system itself precisely because the market mechanism is so good at discovering self reinforcing appropriation regardless of the impacts.

This is a fair point, but I think it hinders innovation in the name of long term stability, at the expense of consumers. (Uber vs Taxis)
I had to reinstall one of these after one of the top trading brass in oil futures at Wal-mart got affected by those fake Microsoft Support scammers and they put the boot lock on his computer.

It's a pain to set up, but it's authentication is unbelievable. It has something like triple factor authentication plus biometrics.

To get him logged in to test it so I could make sure it spread across his 5 monitors correctly, I had to use his RSA key + password to log in to the website, then use a physical device that reads flashes on the screen to generate another code with another password, before he finally put in another password and scanned his fingerprint on the keyboard.

It was mind-boggling, but not unexpected given this dude was moving millions every day.
Someone posted a similar comment on the work-life balance post.

I don't see how this works at all except at the bottom level.

If I read that your salary is X, and interview, I expect that the negotiation revolves roughly around X.

If you offer me 0.7*X I'm going to walk and I expect anyone qualified would.

While this sounds quite good on paper, I have a few questions:

- What kind of data are you storing about a user? You mention verification with LinkedIn but what happens if your database is compromised 6 months later and all data is accessed by a malicious 3rd party?

- When checking salaries, I prefer to search a job title and look at the average salary of a country, city, region or a company. Do you provide these features?

- I looked at the demo application and only thing I see is a table with some entries. Unfortunately, this is not very user friendly.

- I would want to see the average salary of a position

- Count of salary entries of a position

- Variance for the salary of a position (min, max, average, median)

- The way to success is to have a lot of salary entries in your database. As a newly established service owner, how do you plan to keep users with your service and providing updates rather than using glassdoor etc. competitors?

- How do you plan to monetize this service?

To be it just sounds like they're offering a bespoke bounty programme.

If you can assume that they are reporting the exploits or breaches through the right channel, it might actually be more convenient for bounty hunters to have 1 place to funnel them all into.

If the Comparitech also make some profit off their reporting of the breaches then you can start to get an idea of where they're getting some funding from.

I am fine with this practice.. It incentivises more grey/white hat eyes on potential breaches. And in my book, thats never a bad thing.

Given how public they are about their methods and approach, I will give them the benefit of the doubt for now..
Yes, k, w, and y were added for foreign loan words. Embraer is an abbreviation of "Empresa Brasileira de Aeronáutica" which doesn't contain any foreign words. I wanted to point out that it's unlikely that a native speaker would add a gratuitous "y". It's a common letter in Spanish and most people are surprised that it's not used in Portuguese.

> It’s curious that over those projections, we then build event stores for CQRS/ES systems with their own projections mediated by application code.

That's really logical. From the view of the application there is no transaction log, only a table. It's an implementation detail of the database.

The application wants similar guarantees a log can provide, so they build their own.

It's weird - the old taxi companies had their localised oligopolies by law, Uber and Lyft and so on have their global oligopoly through a few other means, not the least of which is their ability to spend billions of Saudi petrobucks on customer acquisition.

But the fact that they offer a fairly consistent experience certainly does help them.
I actually use a 42in HD Samsung Tv. I think I paid $200-$300 for it at Costco. You have to make sure you get something with really good resolution. Any kind of blur or fuzziness will make the experience awful. Might even give you a headache. I love it. Works great with my Mac book pro over hdmi. Only inconvenience is that it does not support sleep mode. You will have to turn it on and off.

If you are just hosting your resume on the site then you probably won't get much benefit from the site. Instead you should use the site to showcase some of the work you have done in the past like projects, design portfolios (if you are in that side of work), code etc. You can also post articles / posts etc to showcase your expertise & knowledge.

I do that on my site along with a blog and I have had great feedback about it from employers in the past.
Technically: aluminium doesn't rust, it corrodes.

The corrosion in air is near instantaneous, and, unlike rust on iron, forms an impervious barrier, preventing further degredation.

Mind: aircraft are not comprised entirely of aluminium, and there are components which may suffer degredation. Airframe-as-a-whole, however, not so much.

There are also aircraft which have been in continuous active service for decades -- the DC-3 and B-52 being two notable cases. These do see periodic overhauls, but net environmental exposure isn't the limiting factor.

Flight-cycles, and cumulative metal fatigue (a distinct problem of aluminium to a much greater extent than iron or steel) is. Both wing flex cycles and pressurisation/depressurisation (takeoff-landing cycles) are far more significant.
PayPal offer these services as well. Where would you draw the line? It seems like the ECJ drew the line with the ability of service providers being able to determine the primary cost and which entity ultimately pairs customers and providers.
I have exactly the same problem.

What I've found is that I need to spend more time deciding what is important, and less time consuming frivolous information. That's hardly a technology problem.

For things I really don't want to forget, I'm using Anki [0], a Spaced Repetition System (SRS). Anki is supremely good at knowing when you're about to forget an item and prompting you to review it.

Spaced practice and retrieval practice, both of which are used in SRS, are two learning techniques for which there is ample evidence that they actually work [1].

You still need to decide what is worth remembering, but that's something technology can't help with, I think.

I like this idea and hope it gains ground. A thing to think about is to work with ranges, in terms of showing a person how much other people earn. I can imagine the system exposing someone at the same level in a relatively small department that they shared such kind of info on your website (if user A simply says but user B earn so much) so any way to "obfuscate" the data would protect everyone.

Thanks for the comment.

I'm not looking for technical advice on how to implement SaaS. I've done this a couple of times before with various technology stacks.

I'm more interested in how to fund development, and fairly reward backers if the project is successful. What type of agreement can I use to implement this?

Ideally, potential clients might suggest and fund features, then be rewarded with a discounted or free subscription.
> I verify the data with LinkedIn profiles

Lost me right there. Good luck with that. LinkedIn is notoriously a garbage dump of spam, recruiters and fake profiles. That’s on top of the fact that most people (myself included) don’t have a LinkedIn profile to begin with in order to curb spam.

There is something wrong with this for me.. If you don't remember people, are they really worth kepeing around ?

> I think all it shows is that latencies under 200ms are widely regarded as acceptable.

They are literally not. At all. You're way off. For anyone who cares about latency, you gotta be sub 50ms at least. For anyone doing generic not latency-sensitive work, maybe you can get away with 100ms, but that's stretching it.

200-250ms is the (purposefully built-in) latency with which an autocomplete may appear while typing. Not the latency for a single character or mouse click!

Where do you get 200ms latency anyway? That's a lot
