Easiest way to clarify is through an example. Disclaimer: it might be a poor one.

That same thing is already happen with plastic surgery in South Korea. You can opt not to do it, but especially as a girl, you're giving yourself a disadvantage. Watch a few generations go by and poof, suddenly its the new standard. Now what became a disadvantage might as well be what takes you out of the race unless you take the plastic surgery route anyway. Meanwhile, the only people who benefit from this are the ones at the top of the race, and the companies performing the surgeries. It might go so far that the people who don't have plastic surgery become ostracized for looking weird.

A similar thing happens in many forms of sports. Somewhere along the line, it became much easier to create and use steroids, and steroids have already shown to have an insane effect without any training necessary. Steroids are an odd example as they are proven to potentially be harmful, but realistically, how are you going to compete against someone using steroids and training the same amount, without taking steroids? Doping in cycling might be the best example: many of these substances can make cyclists endure for much longer, so either everyone needs to take them for it to balance out the playing field, or no one does. You can't say "its up to you", as there's no way you'll be able to compete against someone with a similar amount of training, but juiced up. A ace to the bottom here would be to allow doping, and subsequently, and new drug that would eventually come up.

And some people, like myself, would rather not have such somewhat intrusive operations become the new norm.
They do not say the opposite.

> CA has a non-renewal moratorium in force for wildfire areas

Thank you sharing the link as this raises a question I think you are perfect to ask:

What are your thoughts on this regulation?

Would it now, in effect, significantly increase premiums for everyone now that an insurance company cannot drop the high risk customers?

Feel free to email me as the answer might be not something you want to make public.

If you can answer, and I think the answer is yes, how much in hike in premiums would account for this regulation?
Yep, the idea is to create a CRM with many more seamless integrations / an open API. Our big missing channels are LinkedIn, texts, and Slack messages
Testers are the first to see indications of failure. Here's their warning signs
To be honest, of course. If remote work is paying substantially better it's because higher paid people have jobs that fit under some technical definition of remote.

To your example, I don't work in the Bay Area but I'm theoretically in an office about a 30 minute drive away. However, I gave up my desk and only go in for meetings sometime. I'd definitely self-report as Remote even though I technically aren't.

I wonder if some of it is just changes in attitudes. Lots of people in tech and elsewhere (e.g. sales) have long spent very little time in their offices even if they had one. I wonder if they consider themselves Remote today when they wouldn't have in the past because they were technically in an office.
I think its perfectly reasonable to do this. As someone who would love to be a remote worker as long as my total comp package is acceptable to me, I don't really give a crap if they are paying someone in SF 25% more.

I would more look at compared to local jobs in my area.

For example, my job, my years of experience, in my area (Midwest USA) is roughly $175K on a W2 salary. If that same position is 275k in NYC, but I'm offered it at $175k, sign me up!

I'm sure they would pay me the $275k if I moved to New York...but not living in New York is worth $100k a year to me.

You might get away with just those two, but it would probably yield a very soft bar. A soft bar typically takes longer to cure (be ready to use/sell) and doesn't last as long once it's being used.

In my experience coconut oil, like olive oil, would still need to be mixed with a harder fat like palm or tallow, or hard butters, like cocoa butter. It is on the soft side of oils.

The "old reliable" recipe mixes these three in equal parts: Coconut, Olive, Tallow. Each of them imparts a quality that the others lack. Coconut = cleansing, Olive = moisturizing, Tallow/Palm = Hardness, stability

You get fake discounts off egregiously inflated eye exam/eyewear prices

You can easily buy prescription glasses online for less than $20 a pair, and you can get an eye exam done for $50-$100

If you use your vision insurance to buy glasses in person, though, good luck getting them for less than $150. The price of the glasses magically inflates to whatever your insurance will cover.

If my vision insurance weren't bundled with my employment as a "free" benefit I'd definitely just use $80 out of my HSA to pay for an eye exam and then buy a sack of glasses online

>Some might argue that you should just use EF (or whatever language-specific ORM), but I prefer the level of control and the substantial performance boost you get with raw SQL and a simple migrator approach. I cannot speak for EF Core, but EF6 performance was absolutely abysmal in some more complex cases.

Look into Linq2Db [1] (Disclaimer, I contribute to the project a little bit.)

It's the perfect in-between for if you want LINQ like abstractions but don't want the overhead of an ORM, it's more like Dapper than, say, EF or NHibernate.

Best of both worlds: I can quickly prototype a design using SQLite, and then flip it over to SQL Server/Postgres by changing a config string.

EF Core is somewhat improved from EF in some ways (It's faster, often as fast as Linq2Db or Raw SQL) but has moved backwards in others (lots of stuff still doesn't work right, more importantly things that -used- to work in EF6). IMO EF Core tries to do too much; It tries to give the same API to interface with both Relational and KV stores, and results in not being great at either.

Ok, so I watched some of that video and there is a comically simple explanation[1] that throws a wrench into Binney's "proof". All he knows is that the files were at one point saved using a FAT filesystem. He doesn't know specifically when that happened and if it was before, during, or after the documents were stolen.

You keep trying to make logical arguments about a very small portion of the entire transaction without looking how that transaction relates to much larger business concerns.

The law, tax, business, and reality doesn't work that way. They make policy based on a view of the entire forest, not on the gnarls in a single tree branch.

Territory matters when you're talking about taxing value creation. It always has. If you're arguing against that you're literally arguing against thousands of years against human history. The short answer: it's this way because humankind fought a lot of wars to make it this way, and trying to change it could result in more violence.

How isn't the transaction between employee and employer any different? If there were two otherwise identical jobs doing the same work and one paid more, the employee would choose the higher paying one, so it's not unreasonable in general to assume that what the company paid the employee was the market rate to have that sort of work done.

No, it's not reasonable to make that assumption based on the facts. The employee/business relationship is not related to the value of product created by the employee. This is literally not how any business works. If it was, then most tech startup employees would get paid below minimum wage. FAANG programmer salaries would start in the low millions after a year or two on the job. Mid-level attorneys at most law firms would be making a cool million each year. Backoffice employees at any company wouldn't get paid at all, because they don't contribute to the creation of products.

But they do know that. The Ireland office is willing to immediately pay them the full amount they're paying the employees, so the US office is taking no risk. No risk, no reward; thin margins are the norm in that sort of transaction.

Valuation isn't about what the Irish company would do. Valuation is about how much the IP would be worth on the open market, to unrelated third parties who might not have insider knowledge of the actual cost of creating the IP, and thus who base their offer prices on the value of the IP to their own interests.

More importantly, if the Irish office was always going to reimburse the US office for hiring the US contractor to create the IP, that trail of paperwork says the Irish office was the actual creator of the IP, because the US office was just acting as its agent in hiring the contractor. And that's a very different scenario than what you were originally talking about. (And side note: backdating legal documents to suggest this was the contemplated transaction all along is a crime in both the US and Ireland likely to result in prison time if the IP has any significant value.)
It's enough to be obedient, not too curious, not having too much self-esteem, and be able to cope with doing crap work (and knowing it) because... well, management doesn't understand the interest of quality

Not Palatino.

And most of those fonts have licenses that are inconvenient at best. The only thing that allows them to be packaged for Linux distributions is Microsoft's '90s-era "Core Fonts for the Web" initiative. This initiative is long discontinued, and so the fonts cannot be downloaded from Microsoft anymore. Only the '90s versions of the fonts are free. Worse yet, the license forbids packaging the fonts in any way other than with their original 32-bit Windows installer, which means that hacks like cabextract are necessary to install them on any other system.
You make it sound as if the problem is a media that is disinterested in publishing real stories. Maybe we need new mainstream media organizations?

Also worst of both worlds - you need to know very well both the underlying database (SQL) and also the complex leaky abstraction (EF Core) and how are those abstraction translated into the SQL.

I'm no ORM hater (use Hibernate daily) but claiming that using ORM will simplify working with the database is at least misleading.

Anarcho-Capitalist libertarianism maybe. They're the ones who want a smaller government at all costs, even if that means creating a power vaccuum for some other (potentially bad) actors to fill.

Maximizing-liberty libertarianism would say that an impartial government is necessary to enforce rights for all citizens, even if that's the right to information to vote efficiently.

It wouldn’t. It’s quite common to have a statute of limitations that requires the prosecutors to serve an indictment, in this case that wouldn’t even have been particularly difficult to achieve.

AFAIK most (all?) Nordic legal systems are like this.

I'd be interested to know how this compares to the number of total jobs that pay over $125k. How much has the overall market increased?

According to DQYJD, a full 21% of households are now making more than $125k per year [1].

It doesn't seem that absurd to me for 25% of remote workers to be earning $125k when close to 15% of the general population might be making that much -- especially depending on what the definition of a "remote" worker is...

Don’t disagree. It reads like they didn’t eat their dog food though.
CA changed its budgeting laws during the last financial crisis to lower its dependence on transient high-income events like IPOs, and most of CA's budget problems stems from the state getting back less from the federal government than its residents pay in federal taxes (in contrast to red/flyover states, which for all their talk about low taxes would be bankrupt without the largesse provided by CA and NY).

Notably, California had a budget surplus despite a relative lack of high-profile IPOs the past several years.

It helps that many of CA's biggest industries are at the high-end of the value spectrum (i.e., tech, biotech, Hollywood, and video games).

Caps on campaign spending are there for reasons. A campaign

Private media can be biased. Either explicitly (lying to peoples faces), or implicitly (self-censorship on stuff related to the owner). Surprisingly, in several countries - such as Britain or Czech Republic - state-owned media are the one sticking to higher values.

He didn't enact it, but it was a signature policy of his, and he pushed it hard. There were twice as many stops his final year in office as there were his first year. It is only a reduction if you compare it to his penultimate year, when there were 7x as many stops as his first year.

This claim he reduced it is a key talking point of his campaign, and an outright lie. He was defending it literally up until the moment he decided to run for president (defending it publicly for years until October 2019, then apologizing in November 2019 when he announced his campaign).

Well, the same goes for women, feminism and the claim that women have been facing sexism for hundreds of years. Of course, there has been laws against women in many countries (mine included) but what many fail to also mention is that the same laws (right to vote) also applied to most men (at least in my country). There wasn't really a sexist thing for the most part, but more of an economic elite that are the only ones that can vote. People claim the society was more sexist before, but I am not certain. There were clear gender roles but they also existed for a reason. How many countries have for example sent women to war historically speaking? Practically zero. Who gets saved from disasters first? Women and children.

There are loads of negative aspects to being a women in a society 500 years ago, but also a lot of positive things. People seem to have been brainwashed that women were treated horrible when in many cases this is simply not true. I am certain that most men suffered just as much as most women.

> why are you convinced you are right, and not missing something?

I am correct because I do not deny that women are facing sexism, I just use the same baseless claim like women do to rile people up. No one can know for sure which sex faces the most sexism at a certain time since most sexism isn't spoken of, that is especially true for sexism against men.

If someone is sexist towards you, you will probably not report that. Same goes for women. But it is now socially acceptable for women to complain about sexism, but when men do they face the kind of backlash I face in this thread. The same kind of thinking goes hand in hand with racism, that you can't be racist against white people. It's the same agenda or ideology but in slightly different places.

I do not know for sure that men face more sexism, but I have a good feeling about it and the number of white knights getting mad confirm my beliefs even more. Many in this thread claim that you can't be sexist against men or racist against whites. This is why I am right, because in their world it's not even to be counted and when that kind of ideology is wide-spread you know whatever is the reverse of their beliefs is more close to the truth.

One rumour I've seen a few times is that the Hub was an afterthought[2], which is why it is designed around pairing with the remote, but it's definitely a weird setup (they're ZigBee, so should work without the remote - they do when using the Hue hub).

While such articles are usually helpful, I'd caution that making individual image sizes as small as possible shouldn't really be your goal.

As a simple example - if you have 100 unique images in your system, having an image size of 1 GB each where 99% of it is derived from a common layer is going to be a lot smaller overall than "optimizing" the size down to 100 MB each but taking away the base layers.
