> Let's not pretend that all companies are cash-strapped startups. The FAANGs of the world and the Fortune $x companies and the multinationals can absolutely afford to pay their global workforce uniform wages,

I'll contest that. FAANGs are extreme outliers. I can assure you my company, while it certainly can pay everyone an extra, say, 10%, definitely cannot pay all its SW engineers Bay Area salaries. And then Non-SW engineering companies - even the top ones - rarely have that much money. Their operating expenses and capital costs are a lot more than a SW company's is.

The weather in Indianapolis is tolerable most of the year.

Their biggest problem is that they are on Eastern time, despite being way too far west for it, observe DST, and start public schools way too early.

Also, they have developed traffic circle cancer all over their north side.

They're different product categories entirely these days. The other DAWs aren't "toys" and in fact do a lot of things significantly better than Pro Tools.

Pro Tools as a product only makes sense at scale, with multiple people in the workflow in different locations. Same story for Media Composer compared to other NLEs.

Sounds reasonable. If someone did the same to me in a professional setting my instinct would be to treat it as an intentional lack of respect. Albeit my language is French (but it functions the same as German in that case).
Of $23+ trillion of US government debt, the largest foreign government debtors are {Japan with $1.27 trillion, China with $1.09 trillion, UK with $0.40 trillion}.[1]

Ireland owns about 0.1% of US securities debt ($0.28 trillion)[1]. That's a _very_ low circular factor.

Yes, but it's not reasonable to expect them to say anything else. The moment they even seemingly waver in their commitment to back the markets, stocks would take a very deep dive. So they need to maintain the illusion.

Apple does not have a clear and complete vision for their software. They consistently break things with OS and hardware updates. Many of the developers for audio applications are extremely small teams and cannot turn around updates at the drop of a dime when Apple decides to give them little notice that they're once again breaking shit. There is no "golden path" for pro audio on a Mac and that's evident in their desktop offerings over the past decade.
I agree, as far as that. But it's racist to overgeneralize that feeling to ethnic Indians or Chinese who did not go through that system.

Reading the linked Wired article leaves me wanting to read the design doc for myself; I don't agree with (Wired's synopsis of) the FCC regulator's interpretation of the document they read. From the quoted bit of the FCC doc:

"""
In a discussion of 'Privacy Considerations,' the design document states, 'A typical concern might be that we are logging user traffic along with sufficient data to precisely triangulate their position at a given time, along with information about what they were doing.' That statement plainly refers to the collection of payload data because MAC addresses, SSIDs, signal-strength measurements. and other information used to map the location of wireless access points would reveal nothing about what end users 'were doing.'"
"""

I disagree with that assessment. If you're a Google engineer writing the privacy section of the design doc, you're encouraged to blue sky possible abuse scenarios, even unlikely ones. That quote, to me, reads not as admission that packet capture was part of the design, but that SSID, MAC address, and signal strength measurement alone could be enough to make ballpark guesses on what a user was doing (MAC addresses, for example, are issued to specific device vendors, so knowing my MAC address is chatting to my wifi, and no other information, could be used to make an educated guess as to whether I'm watching TV if you see heavy traffic between my wifi and a device advertising a MAC address that tends to show up in a Samsung smart TV product line). I think the FCC investigator lacked imagination here. ;)

You'll note what the quote omits, which is any section of the design document that says something like "Full data packets will be captured and stored for future analysis." That's a glaring omission if full-packet data capture were part of the actual design, and the quote appears to be an FCC investigator attempting to read between the lines.
Hey HN! I've built this starting from wanting an alternative to product hunt ship. But it has a bit more features like the possibility to create custom forms and even more than one per page.

Have an investor pondering this. It's maybe just sounding unusual because of the way I'm asking.

They are conveying concerns about how to transfer/give ownership in the new company because their argument is that it wouldn't be fair to an investor to invest some large sum which then, for instance, I turn around and sell my 2% at a larger valuation due to their investment.
Well, stupid question then: why would this prop up the debt market? They're just buying tokens redeemable[1] for a basket of bonds. How does that prop up (the underlying) bond prices? Or their liquidity?

ETF prices are pretty firmly anchored to the underlying bond basket prices, due to arbitrage, so prices only flow from the bonds to the ETF shares, never the other way around. Is there a dynamic I'm missing whereby the purchase of ETFs make the bonds more valuable on the market?

For an analogy, let's say there are coupons you can redeem for a 20-lb turkey at Trader Joe's (analogous to bond ETFs, which are redeemable for baskets of the underlying).

Let's say they trade on a secondary market (like those coupon selling sites) at a stable discount to the market price of the turkeys at TJ's. Let's say I go out and start buying up the coupons with reckless abandon.

I accept that they would then trade at a smaller discount to TJ turkeys. But why would that raise the market price of the turkeys themselves? Nothing about that makes the turkeys themselves more in-demand, does it?

Well, they may lose their jobs to folks still in Canada then. You can get a seasoned dev in Canada for less money than a fresh grad in San Francisco. If the company switches to be distributed a-la GitLab, there's no reason not to do it. The reason why offshoring nearly always failed in the past is because teams weren't fully distributed/remote. If a company re-tools around distributed, it can operate just fine as long as there aren't any "hallway conversations" remote workers don't have access to.

>So why not hire only people working out of the Welsh countryside and refuse raises to anyone who wants to move to a higher COL area?

Companies do this to a certain degree. My anecdotal observation is that a lot of tech companies that aren't in the Bay Area or only have a small presence there don't in fact try particularly hard to be competitive with the big Bay Area employers--unless there's someone they really really want. People may still join for various reasons.
I like the sports team analogy. The biggest gripe I have with some people is the "you are not my friend and will never be my friend" attitude because they have a strict work/life separation. It would be nice if more people instead thought of work like a sports team where the working together aspect could disappear overnight, but we're still friends.
Most of the "book simulation" features I've seen (background textures, page turn animations, the like) have come across as gimmicky and useless, meanwhile digital books tend to still suffer from conceptually simple formatting problems like poor responsive text reflow or baking detailed vector figures into tiny JPEGs.

Yes but it gets its monetary authority from the federal government. Without them it is just another bank. So ultimately it answers to the government.

The current psychological consensus is that critical thing (one of three IIRC) to build friendships are repeated regular meetings/gatherings with (group of) people, forced by some external factor (school, gym, military, office, etc).

WFH will strip 'friendship creation factor' from work. Definitely not to zero, but it will in effect reduce fun from work because 'working with friends' will be less often (unless you start work with people you're already friend).

Yeah, it was cheaper (in both senses of the word) than all the other contenders and more or less Unixy enough that software could easily be ported over.
Fair enough, but I think we could both agree that the revolution was only beneficial because it changed the old system into something more malleable and predictable. The throne is an unstable thing, as is the man in it, and only subject to change on unpredictable whims.

If you already exist in a system that is pliable, like a democracy, revolution really wouldn't bring you any of the benefits the French revolution did in the centuries that followed. You'd really only get the downsides.

> At this point, Backblaze is a serious "influencer", and HDD companies would be smart to make sure they get the best possible drives, even if the rest of us get junk.

I don't know if they're as budget-conscious as they used to be, but Backblaze used to "shuck" drives from externals because they're cheaper [1].

If this is still the case, then their stats should be similar to hobbyists who are doing this too.

Not necessarily. If the economy grows faster than recent history, a constant tax rate brings in more revenue.

I'm stingier on Uber Eats because there are so many fees! But I haven't used Seamless since 2015 so I don't know if the same happens there nowadays.

All I know is that my $13 food choice costs me $22 when I go to check out, and I think twice about it, then check the promos, and then consider the price of just pickup, or order something else (lower price, or different restuarant with different delivery fees, or maybe add a $2 item to remove the $3 small order fee)

You price according to what the market can bear, as a participant of the market this has stretched the rationalization of what I am willing to bear, and if it isn't economically viable then maybe lay off 3,700 employees and buy the leaner competitor, crazy idea right

This is the scenario I expect, Waymo gets "spun out" and does its R&D on someone else's nickel and Google doesn't have to report the losses, then if it takes off, Google re-acquires it in a sweetheart deal and reaps all the goodness.

From my experience working there, this is the sort of concept they would be attracted to. Google gets a benefit from either scenario.

From the counter party part of this deal, the "investors" either lose their money, or they get a fixed amount of 'upside' when Google re-acquires.

Most of pilot training consists of dealing with emergencies. Pilots tend to be highly motivated to be safe because they hit the ground first. There's a saying among pilots that saving themselves saves the passengers.

Or is it just a way to show that you have hiring power? If you’re a founder who does this, please stop. If you’re not a founder and you’re doing it, consider getting a tattoo of your company logo instead.

Sorry, rant over. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Please don’t do this there.

On the one hand, I appreciate the notion of the author that consciousness is related to any system which changes over time as a result of itself. That you can use this definition to try to measure whether a human in a vegetative state is still "conscious" is a potential use showing the benefit of this definition...

What I find dissatisfying is that in the next breath, the author dismisses the possibility of a machine that changes over time in response to it's previous state to have any possibility of consciousness ever. If you do that, then clearly the definition of consciousness was useless to begin with. We are just defining the words to include things we like, and exclude things we dislike.

I'm thankful for these reports as well, despite them being trailing edge/etc. For a while they mirrored some problems we were having at work with a particular vendor (and helped to justify switching products a year or two into the nightmare).

What I really wish is that they would make an effort to go beyond just reporting their experiences and see what they are doing as also providing a service in the form of model reliability data. AKA toss a few pods of WD's/etc in there even if they are slightly more expensive/whatever. If the data were broken out by production location and manufacture date, its likely it would be something that they could sell on the open market for a small fee. I know I would have gotten the company I worked for to pay such a fee for a somewhat scientific look at the failure rates of certain models/etc.

AKA, pay a bit more for a broader set of drives, summarize the data for free, and then get people to pay for the detail data. If you work for a company buying a thousand or so drives a year, avoiding a 10% AFR is going to be worth a lot of money. AKA too small to have a good view of the state of things, but big enough that buying 1k bad drives and fighting daily RAID rebuilds for the next three years is real nightmare. Think of it as a bit of insurance, or at least validation of a problem when things start to go south.
Right, this is why the US GDP has grown by a factor of 20 in the past half century while adjusted average hourly wages haven't budged. What a frightfully naive point of view.
Perhaps even more paradoxically, the US court declared that Grams couldn't be distributed not only in the United States, but globally. Why? Because, it said, a US citizen might find some way of accessing the TON platform after it launched. So, to prevent this, Grams shouldn’t be allowed to be distributed anywhere in the world – even if every other country on the planet seemed to be perfectly fine with TON.
I have a similar story. I used to work with a guy from India, and he told me “If you ever meet an Indian in a position of power, they got there through nepotism and not by their own merit.”

Hearing that was pretty shocking, not so much because it’s clearly untrue, but because he held that opinion of other Indian people. He did fall under the description you gave, though. He seemed to struggle with basic Arduino and Raspberry Pi programming even though he had a degree in computer science from an Indian university.

Not really. Your security can bootstrap itself into being a currency, but until it does it’s still going to be treated like a security.

the models of market fairness work perfectly in a world where people could simply choose not to work, and where everyone has the ability to work to qualify for any job.

however in the real world people are forced to work by a need to survive, which puts disempowered people in a position to be exploited. and there is unequal access to education, to the leisure time to participate in education, and to the material security required to have a brain that is able to focus on education, so not everyone will be able to even make an attempt to qualify for every job. not to mention the fact that there is unequal access to the networking and connections, and to the non-merit-based "qualifications" that bring certain people to power (e.g. race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. all the isms).

so exploitation and injustice abounds in an unregulated system which tends to entrench and concentrate power within the hands of those who already have it
