Nah, you should look at how China's supply chains are set up, you can get chips half a mile up the road that would be 30 miles away in the US.

I think the OP is making a joke about the fact that some guests who get the wifi password, may spend all their time looking at their phones instead of socializing. That happens nowadays when one throws a party or movie night.
I think it also depends on toxicity of the organization. My untested hardware was sent to production line in the factory elsewhere. I was telling to every manager I could, not to do this. So “no” does not work. I was told, there will be second developer one day, but it didn’t happen. Manager of other group sees me declining and invites to go for lunch together. But he can’t help since my manager and division manager are more buddies than professionals working together. I was trying to make longer breaks to recharge working only 4 days a week, but this was canceled a day after I send proposal how to test hardware. I also got new table - a door place in open space office where I got distracted every 3 minutes. Basically my all time gets wasted sitting there. Last but not least, there will be committee next year to review everything I did in the project and do the great blaming fest. It is believed, that this will help to find the bugs I made due to my incompetence.

I read this and it does not sound real. To avoid burnout I simply need a new job. I also packed my all personal belongings and am ready to hand in my notice anytime I see it’s too much. Better unemployed for some time than mentally broken.
Is this really equivalent to Splunk? Seems more like a mix of Apache Nifi (developed by NSA) and Spark.

The answer would be: 1) they do, and 2) they can't

1) Google clearly hires plenty of people in India. Here's their new office in India, with allegedly ~10k employees: https://careers.google.com/locations/hyderabad/. The assumption that Google is only hiring "expensive american employees" vs "cheap indian employees" does not hold

2) Talking about "american" and "indian" employees is misleading. Your question could just as well be "Why not hire for $100k from <midwest> instead of $370k in CA?" At that level of salary, you're talking about attracting top talent from around the world, who are often happy to migrate. The salary is a reflection of an arms race between tech companies - the same person isn't going to opt for $60k to stay in India - they will either take a $350k job in Facebook, a $300k job in Amazon, or at worst, a $100k+ remote job to stay at home(numbers are illustrative). You simply cannot attract the same talent due to how global(and competitive) the top-end of the programming marketplace is.
This has been a thing for longer than I can remember. Many many years, it should only depend on what your QR scanner are capable of (and that will vary since most use their default camera app for scanning QR codes and most manufacturers ship their own - but by now I hope even older phones have it).

Android 10 made som more specific features for this, such as automatically generating the QR code for others and scanning QR directly from the wifi settings.
I've read 3 different versions of the bible and it converted me from an agnostic to an atheist. I think GP may have been predisposed to religion (or at least to the social aspects of joining a church) as the bible, as interesting as it is, is only as interesting as any other selected and vetted collection of philosophy and story telling. Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism and Islam also have very interesting texts worth reading.

This isn't meant to be insulting or dismissive, I have nothing but good will to GP, but statistically just reading the bible doesn't usually lead to joining a church. If it did, you could lose the rest of the evangelism and missionary practices and not really see a dent in the population of Christianity.
Totally agree. Successful software engineering has almost nothing to do with clever programming tricks and everything to do with writing software that's empathetic to being within a commercial and team environment. That means writing software that takes into account that it will be read by others, used by others, and inevitably changed by others.

Interview processes at so many software companies don't do a good job of selecting for it. They still look for algorithmic competence and next to nothing about teamwork and structuring software projects.

Yeah it’s hard to know how amazing modern OLEDs are from Best Buy demo reels, sadly. It’s something you have to experience in a dark room at home with good content to appreciate to the fullest.

BTW I highly recommend you do some research into HDR, and color gamut. I don’t think you know just how much you’re missing in terms of HDR, color gamut, contrast ratio, etc, that comes with modern TVs. Color gamut goes way beyond sRGB. Modern HDR TVs are far, far more than just “10 bit color”, and allow an express-able color gamut and color volume far beyond sRGB. A LG C9 achieves sound 99% DCIP3 color gamut and 75% REC2020.

To make a crude example, it’s kind of like 150% sRGB coverage, over a range from perfect black to extremely bright for each pixel individually, with enough precision for smooth gradients across these colors. These TVs can display colors that your sRGB monitor is physically incapable of reproducing, and they can display pixel by pixel contrast radios that allow realistic details and specular highlight brightness levels that cannot be done on regular LCD monitors or TVs. And it all absolutely shows in the picture quality when viewing recent movies/TV that are mastered well.

P.S. Stay away from Samsung if you care about color accuracy as I do. Sony and LG and Panasonic all have excellent color accuracy, and likely will be better than any PC monitor within twice it’s price. But Samsung not only comes out of box with horrible defaults, but actually CANNOT be correctly calibrated due to always-on tone mapping. Among videophiles, it’s well known that Samsung is not the way to go. But please don’t let Samsung’s overly flashy demos turn you off to the amazing technical abilities of modern TVs in general. Just because Samsung made arguably greedy marketing-driven design choices that cheapen and destroy the artistic accuracy of the content does not mean everyone else does too. Only Samsung does this as far as I’m aware, among the top brands.

If you want color accuracy, picture quality perfection, superior color gamut, contrast, HDR, AND low latency (0.1ms response time and overall input lag on par with dedicated gaming monitors), LG OLED is THE way to go.
Programming is a field where quantifying worker output is prohibitively difficult, but ranking workers is relatively easy. As such, it's a prime candidate for Tournament Theory - instead of measuring worker output, do some kind of informal rank-ordering and hand out larger prizes to the winners.

Being employed as a professional programmer in any capacity is winning the first round of such tournament. The compensation spread between this and the next-best non-tech option has to be high enough to induce people to invest in learning the difficult skills and risk the ordeal-based hiring tournament.

Efficiency wages also come into play here. When wages are higher than what's necessary to clear the market, people struggle to find new jobs, which both reduces turnover and makes employees more willing to put in discretionary effort.

Some combination of the two is likely responsible for outsized wages in the field. Efficiency wages is probably more the case for entry-level FAANG salary, tournament for the large jump over the first couple major promotions.
In the US, very little. That's because there really aren't many meaningful protests these days, because the US has effectively killed the public spaces protests rely on. But the Tea Party movement was arguably influential, and protests were its main tool. Occupy Wall Street was also far more successful than commonly believed: the 1%-vs-99% divide has become a central narrative of US politics, even on the right.

Outside the US? The Arab Spring was nothing but protests, and it did topple something like a dozen governments. Yes, the new ones mostly failed, but that's a different matter.

In Ukraine the protests succeeded. In Hong Kong, they certainly seem to be a major pain for the local government as well as China.

Environmental protests have succeeded almost spectacularly over the last decade or so. Germany's anti-nuclear movement relied on protests as their main method-the Green party was actually founded by a group of people who first met at a protest. Today, Extinction Rebellion, Fridays for Future and similar keep climate change in the news week by week. That's the sort of pressure without which the Paris accord would have never been attempted.

Compare any agenda from a G7/G8/G20 meeting a decade or two ago, and you'll notice that issues such as the environment, labor protection, or fair trade have gone from zero to dominating these meetings.

The US-EU trade agreement basically died on the day that half a million people in Berlin protested against it.

Obviously, it is often impossible to unambiguously assign causality. It's a complex system where everything affects everything.

But purely subjectively, I am actually surprised by how effective protests are. Consider Ukraine, where a single protest at a central square toppled the government. In practical terms. a Tiannanmen-style massacre was entirely possible. But the protesters won. Why? How?
Excellent comment. The killer feature of software is that it is utterly delocalized. Theoretically, you can capture the whole market whether you are based in SF, Berlin, or Calcutta. That has actually probably been somewhat reduced over time as governments have realized the benefits to protectionism (eg you can’t capture the Chinese or Russian market anymore if you’re a search engine), but it’ll likely remain generally true compared to other enterprises.

This effect is so powerful that even if your business has a strong physical component (Uber, Airbnb, etc) the scalability of software still puts you at a huge advantage.

As a doctor or lawyer, you tend to be limited to a radius around your immediate physical location.

Software is a weird beast that we haven’t really seen any equivalents to in human history.

I've been programming since I was a teenager in the 80's, and have seen it all. Really. I went from being a god-like teenage computer genius, to an over-the-hill "old guru guy", with all the pay scales in between. I've done some big things, and I've done plenty that I'm not proud of.

And now I'm in the situation, early 50's approaching, where I don't have a job lined up for the year, and am out there looking at the market again. I really, really don't like what I'm seeing - coders in their teens, making 1/3rd of what I used to make. Its really a saturated scene, so I'm thinking of other things I can do. Its long since past the point where I should've made myself wealthy by now - but long, long hours, over years, spent making wealth for others has really burned me out on the whole subject.

Nevertheless, I'll pick myself up after a bit of a break, and get back into it. I'll do what I always have done: look at the scene, determine what the new hot framework/language/environment is, learn it, use it, and get a job applying it towards other peoples wealth.

I probably should have been finishing my side projects in all these decades - and boy, do I have a lot of them. More than likely I wouldn't be in this situation now if I'd finished some of these things and brought them to market.

Its just so exhausting, making other people wealthy, you know? (Really: the works I've contributed to have made many, many millionaires over the years... I should be one of them by now. But hey, those high salaries sure paid for a lot of trinkets...)
Some jobs just rely on attracting and retaining people with no boundaries and no ability to set them. Startups are great at this. They foster a sense of community between the workers and then understaff/overbook the team. When the invariable crisis rolls in no one even has to tell people to work until 5 am. They just do it because no one wants to "let down the team".

My last job I was at least the fourth or fifth person to break down and cry at work. Plenty of those happened in meetings where the boss man was present. They just quietly get replaced and that's that. Burn em and churn em. Never shows up on the ledger and everyone writes it off as a crazy one-off situation.

Then oh gosh a big deadline hits and we're down a person, better show off what a team player we are and make sure we hit the deadline.

Once upon a time I worked at a Video host for news and other content publishing companies. They track (and in many cases decide) what you watch as you jump from site to site.

They know exactly what kind of people (personality trait wise) will keep clicking the next vid recommended. They actively seek out these personality trait combos and hit them with the right vids. And then ads.

It's very sophisticated because their player is embedded on so many sites spanning so much different type of content that profiling people becomes almost automatic. And also hooked into all the ad networks which have their own profiling data. The only reason we haven't reached mind control abilities yet is Psychology/Neuroscience as fields are still very young and are playing catch up - as in what do you do after you identify an addict, a sociopath, a psychopath? It's easier to identify (and trigger certain behaviors) than it is known what should be done, that is in the interest of the individual and society in all cases.

Its much more clear what benefits the corporation. "Keep showing the person with issues stuff because hey its free revenue"

For example, they know triggering/negative content energizes people more than positive content. And the most "energized" people will keep producing more content to feed into the machine that keeps the addicts coming back. So the system automatically has a selection bias for certain content producers and content types.

In many cases, in different parts of the world, what can be done even after you identify bad actors/people with issues etc is limited because capacity to do it doesn't exist. There are more cops per 100K people than there are shrinks by a large factor. So the response of society to negative content that triggers misguided behavior is almost always Violence or some form of taking away peoples rights.

Monetization also sets up this game, where if you (content producer/advertiser/distributor etc) don't cash in on a money making pattern some one else will. So lots of people in the ecosystem get trapped there and don't see ways out.

But as the public begins to realize the consequences of all this targeting/profiling, on kids, on the workforce, on consumers, on the defense establishment, on politics, on journalism etc liability questions are snowballing.
"married with children" doesn't necessarily imply that at least two children come from that marriage; e.g. the spouse could have had a child from a previous marriage
Although the physical component of sexual attraction may not be sufficient (which is your premise), it is definitely necessary and cannot be ignored.

Tinder is suitable for hookups, but not for dating. Your site is suitable for friendships, but not for dating. Both of these sites could create relationships that evolve into dating, but I don't think either of them are the path of least action for this purpose. Tinder focuses too much on physical attributes, text-only sites focus too little on physical attributes. Both solutions are at the poles of a spectrum. "Dating" is somewhere in the middle of that spectrum.

I’d argue that many of these practices and skills are in fact non documentable/teachable (see the oft cited problem of teaching recursion/pointers to CS students, and that’s just one of many fundamental required things that are way more formally defined compared to “leading a team to ship consistently good software”). I’m sure many of us have seen very motivated, well intentioned junior developers who struggle very hard to push and improve their skills and still get completely left in the dust compared to the engineers who just seem to have a knack for it.

In this way software engineering resembles traditional craftsmanship more than any other discipline.

I think on the types of salaries this article is referring to, you could happily do everything you want to reasonably do lifestyle wise while still save a safety net for the future. Travel, coffee and restaurant meals, expensive hobbies, nice neighbourhood. Should all be achievable.

If you want to play it safe, then you're really just trying not to leverage your wage into insane debt. You could live a decent lifestyle while putting money away and be financially fine if wages went down. But if you get loans for a $1.5m home and a $200,000 car you might find yourself with payments too high.
I think the more distinct categorization is relevant in this particular paper.

I think TYT is much further left than CNN (to an European, CNN is actually center-right). So, if you want to study whether there is a "funnel" from the center to the (extremist?) left, then you have to distinguish them, otherwise your results will be biased (at the very least, biased towards right-wing extremism).

Second, we don't know if YT recommender treats them differently or not. There is some evidence that it treats "mainstream" channels (i.e. TV stations) differently than "alternative" channels. Whether TYT falls into the latter is not clear.

Ask HN: Is it still worth to learn React Native?
Recently I considered to build an app but I'm not sure if RN is the right choice.
The following points keep me away from using RN:
- Animations are hard to implement
- Tooling to bring RN apps to production are quite unstable
- Development feels kind of hacky since you often have to do workarounds

I'm aware of the benefits of RN and I'm curious of your opinion about RN and maybe how to fix the mentioned issues/difficulties.
Can you link a document discussing this phenomenon or at least give the relevant keyword to search myself? I have noticed something similar when TA'ing, observing my colleagues and also when learning myself.
Yip, earliest I recall seeing it was mid 80's, unsure if it was in the industry magazine "Computer Weekly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Weekly" (the one you got for free and was impossible to cancel) or UNIX World. But certainly fun times.

EDIT - wrong magazine
There are more factors than just supply/demand and use value. There's the sensitivity of productivity and employee turnover with respect to pay, and the replacement of costly performance quantification with a significantly cheaper rank-ordering system (usually informal via promoting your "best" few engineers).

The former leads to efficiency wages, and the latter to tournament theory.

Example of the first: there are two jobs with an identical market-clearing wage and expected net present value of productivity. The first is relatively unskilled labor - you train them for maybe a week, and they do pretty much average performance for however long they stay. The second requires a year of training during which they provide zero value, then stay an average of a year after that during which they provide double the value. A savvy employer would pay the market-clearing wage for the first role, and above that for the second. By doing so, employees of the second type would be unable to find a job that pays as well as what they have now (since the market isn't clearing), so they'll tend to stay longer and provide extra value.

Example of the second: corporations will pay CEOs much more than vice-presidents. The work that both jobs do is largely the same, and the disparity in value added between the two roles is much less than the salary difference. The spread is there to make sure that senior executives work really hard to be seen as a better choice than their competitors - now the board doesn't have to evaluate how well executives did in an absolute sense, but rather need only judge who the best candidate is for the top role.
This is correct for the recreational side of the market in Canada, but the experience of the medicinal cannabis market since the most recent legislation is unparalleled. There's some intake forms to fill out with your physician e.g., https://www.auroramj.com/patients/. Once you're in the door though, you have access to D2C e-commerce the likes of which the rec market cannot currently compare to. Cannabinoid profile analysis for each lot is mandated, so you know exactly what you're getting, and many insurance plans will subsidize the cost.
