Bad there. 1000 times worse in India, relative to both Christianity and Islam, and with the great aggravating force of Yogi Adityanath pouring salt into those wounds.

I know of no framework to look at that question which isn't basically just a bunch more questions: in Scandinavia there are old pagan branches coming back up, Latvia too - but was the original tradition lost and they're neopagans, or was it alive on the farms and it's now coming back above the surface. It's like financial reparations: once you begin, where do you end?

I grew up in the West. I'm glad it's not my fight, I'd sweat hard finding a position!

Good question.
In the US, it is considered normal for ~100,000 people to die each week. So, the 100,000 coronavirus deaths we have had so far, spread over 10 weeks, have increased numbers less than 10%. Less, because an unknown but probably non-negligible fraction of those would have died from other cause in those ten weeks, because of the age-linked risk. (Traffic deaths from extreme reckless driving are way up despite, or maybe because of, half the traffic evaporating.)

I wonder if this experience will make us more conscious of the much larger number of unnecessarily early deaths we have all the time, and maybe motivate doing something about them.
You mean, it hasn't been proven

Ecofascism alarm going off
Having a mix of decaf and regular grounds also makes it easy to slowly wean yourself off caffeine without destroying your productivity and mood. I have a spreadsheet to chart out how many grams of caffeinated/decaffeinated coffee grounds (and teabags) I'm allowing myself.

Over time, decrease the caf and increase the decaf.
This feels a little sensationalized. This is just how dmca work. Party 1 files a notice, party 2 files a counter notice, party 1 either puts up or shuts up. The article makes it sound like github is picking sides, where really they are just not getting in the middle of the fight.
Not quite all of them - I'm out in Rakaia Gorge, no fibre for me :)

But I have a 5gz wireless connection from Netspeed that works just fine for video conferencing and collaboration. It's more expensive than fibre and it comes with data limits, but it lets me work from where I want to live, so I consider the extra cost to be worth it.
SV companies are evaluating their employee's BATNA. And if more tech companies are going this route, everyone's BATNA is decreasing. They don't want to overpay an "employee's market". It isn't just about the value an employee brings to the company when working in SV or the middle of Nebraska. It's turning into a buyer's market for tech jobs.

Many people would be/will be/are pissed when a company eliminates remote positions and suddenly require employees to report to an office.

Those are all previous and mediocre AMD architectures though. The Zen line is where things pop off.
"All models are wrong, but some are more useful than others"

I've come to believe this goes for any verbal / written statements about reality.
Last time I looked I couldn't find decaf that didn't have significant amounts of caffeine in it. The lowest amount of caffeine I could find was a product that said it had about half as much caffeine as regular coffee. Has that changed?
Hopefully, it is made clear to you that the team operates as a high-trust cooperative and you can self-select out of that environment since you find it undesirable. You and this style of team are incompatible.
If I were single I'd love in South East Asia and work for western countries.

The cost of living is next to zero. It's relatively safe for an emerging economy. Still reasonably safe. You can get a 3 month Visa each time you fly in and out. So a quick trip to a neighbour country and you're set for another 3 months.

Do that for 3 years. Live like a king on less than $10k a year living cost. Return home with 3 years salary minus taxes and 30k living costs.

Plus it's a great part of the world. Very fun to explore.

I am a warm weather person who loves to play beach volleyball and dance. SF Bay Area beaches are too cold. Miami could be a good start. I once spent a few months in Southeast Florida near Miami and it was fun. You haven't lived until you danced at an outdoor club in Miami at 3am under rain with a beautiful woman. The rain feels like a hot shower. I also loved South Carolina.

This is a difficult decision to make, not the least of which because of tax concerns. I am already a nomad, having not paid any rent since 2015. Right before the pandemic hit, I was preparing to change tax domicile to South Dakota. As soon as I no longer have a financial reason to stay linked to California, I am resuming my plan.
I'm pretty sure the CDC is just wrong about this, and the true IFR is about 1.0%. The CDC page in question doesn't have much of any information about their methodology, and the claimed 0.3% is not consistent with what other research has found. Given the CDC's extremely poor track record, I don't think it's right to assign this estimate much weight.
> That would restrict all your hiring to the lowest wage markets.

The talent quality is the same.

Some of those reasons in the link are directly contradictory, some are nonsense, and others are inapplicable to other firms (But sure, they may well make sense for Gitlab.)

> A concentration of team members in low-wage regions, since it is a better deal for them, while we want a geographically diverse team.

May be a priority for Gitlab, but that is not a priority for any firms that required people to relocate their butts to Silicon Valley, or that never supported remote work prior to Covid.

> Team members in high-wage regions having less discretionary income than ones in low-wage countries with the same role.

Seriously? Do team members with more obligations, like children enrolled in private schools, ailing parents, or overleveraged mortgages also get the same amount of discretionary spending as their less-burdened coworkers? Isn't choosing which zip code to live in discretionary? And why does this even enter the picture, when, as you claim, your wages are set by market, rather than by COL? The market doesn't care about employee discretionary income. There's nothing fair about market wages, just like there's nothing fair about the weather. They just are.

> Team members in low-wage regions being in golden handcuffs and sticking around because of the compensation even when they are unhappy.

This is an incredibly employee-hostile reason. "We don't want to pay you too much, because imagine if you ever become unhappy." Good lord.

> If we start paying everyone the highest wage our compensation costs would increase greatly, we can hire fewer people, and we would get less results.

This, however, is a fantastic reason. See my previous post on why it makes sense for a remote firm to not pay anyone NYC wages.

> If we start paying everyone the lowest wage we would not be able to attract and retain people in high-wage regions.

Why is this a goal of the firm? Scratch that - if that's a goal of the firm, that's fine. It's a weird goal, though. Companies typically don't go into business with the goal of attracting and retaining people in high-wage regions. They typically go into business to make a lot of money by solving problems for their customers. So, it's fine that this is a goal for Gitlab, but it certainly does not seem to be a goal of any company I've ever worked for, or am likely to work for.

You adjust wages up for employees hired in, say, non-NYC, who choose to move to NYC. How would doing so meet that goal? Is someone from Oklohoma who moved to NYC for a raise suddenly providing a diversity-of-skills-and-perspectives need that was unmet, prior to their geographic relocation? Are they now providing more value, that necessitates paying them more? If not, why was hiring in high-wage areas a goal in the first place?
Openness plays a significant role as well. Someone who has ulterior motives can derail a conversation pretending to dispute facts, or the topic at hand.
Ah, so it's actually not entirely removing blacklisted results, it's just condensing those results. Personally, I think I'd be more interested in nabakin's idea of editing the query before it gets sent to Google.

Although - like zargon says in a top-level comment - this clearly should just be built into search engines themselves. The only semi-legitimate reason I can think of that they wouldn't be is that results for a given query would be even less reproducible than they already are from person-to-person. But since Google already "personalizes" results, I don't think that's really a factor for them. They could just have a little button at the bottom that says "3 results from sites you've blacklisted - wanna see them?" or whatever.
The lack of information in w3s can cause confusion. I had a recent example when looking for an interaction in CSS that seemed completely bonkers to me that was immediately explained in the first paragraph of MDN. I decided to look up how it was documented on w3s (disclaimer: I hate it) and they never even mention it.

Sorry for it not being a concrete example, it was last week and I don't have access to my machine atm.
Question: can you even work at Facebook without having an account and using it?

The biggest risk of leak would be during usage of their services like their app and/or website on personal devices. If you can work there while only using their issued work laptop it would be pretty easy to contain by sticking it behind a VPN router.
Sounds like those things should be added to the Google graveyard.

I'm here too, living with family. Not sure if it will be a permanent move or not. I couldn't get over how amazing it felt just sitting outside last night. The air quality out here is kinda amazing sometimes. Even my cynical husband has admitted he is afraid he might not want to leave.
Austin. Lots to do outside, no state income taxes, great food/nightlife, significantly less homeless than San Francisco. I feel like everything is new and clean in Austin. It gets hot in the summer but personally I prefer hot than cold. Also lots of tech jobs. Kind of a no brainer for me.
Same with tea, for me. I drank tea and tisanes with sugar and milk when I was young. Then over time I went to just sugar, and then plain. Now I prefer tea/tisane/coffee plain.

I'd prefer Ottawa myself. Visited last year and really loved the experience. I hate hot weather with the fire of a thousand suns (live in Austin right now). I'd love to live somewhere it's never hot. Plus my wife and I really loved the atmosphere in Canada in general.

But the time to properly screen senior engineers remains finite.

Who are the people that can properly vet senior-level talent? A few other senior-level engineers that are on the team?

So you want them to ask questions that are beyond the superficial, phone screen 50 candidates, all the while they're supposed to continue to do product development, fix bugs, comments on PR? Something will suffer - either the hiring process or product development.

For every potential hiree that rejects an offer, an engineer that gets into the late stages of the interview process only to be hired away by a better offer is time wasted by your engineering team.

Engineers in the late stages of hiring have the upper hand. Repeat it to your self. "I have the leverage."

With an offer on the table, push back and counter offer. They don't want you to walk away.

Living in Des Moines and they already have a senior team in SF? Awesome. Ask for the SF salary or walk. They'll counter. And if they don't? You can salvage the deal by approach them in two days with another counter. In two days, they have _not_ lined up another qualified senior engineer.

They've already burned so many resources. The company knows this. Now you do too.
This doesn’t sound quite right. Unless they changed something threadpoolexecutor does involve multiple OS threads, and is not single threaded. Sure the GIL puts a big limitation on parallel execution, but it is most definitely different.

For one, regardless of the GIL it is still possible to have races in multithreaded python code. You have to worry about RMW because the threads are arbitrarily preemptible at a bytecode boundary. This is not the case with asyncio.

Additionally you can release the GIL when making calls to C code. Asyncio is giving you concurrency by using nonblocking calls, you can’t run two CPU bound threads in parallel with it. But you can do this with python threads. So it’s not true that neither can accomplish more than the other.

By "best estimate" they mean

>Parameter values for disease severity, viral transmissibility, and pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic disease transmission that represent the best estimate, based on the latest surveillance data and scientific knowledge.

Also, the "best estimate" predicts a .4% fatality rate, below .3% comes from the best performing model using the lower bound for disease severity...
Jobs aren’t paid according to how difficult they are, they’re paid by supply and demand. Employers want to pay as little as possible, but they have to compete with other companies to hire staff from the finite labor pool. Employees want to be paid as much as possible, but have to compete with each other for the finite number of positions available with employers. Remote work simply means that for any remote position, employees will have more candidates to compete with, which will drive the cost of labor (salaries) down, especially if they’re competing with candidates willing to take a much lower salary due to living in a much cheaper place.

Yea, he didn’t follow through on a pledge, but still he donated a HALF MILLION DOLLARS to a bunch of strangers having a crisis he had nothing to do with.

The user posited the question "am I contributing to society - Not really". He himself knows he is contributing nothing, and drawing an income. It's a fact that he is a rentier, this is an economic term used by Adam Smith and Keynes.

Hence, I wrote:

> You are taking from society through rentier activity

There is nothing personal about this, I'm not talking about the guy's hair or his dress sense. There are no insults there, which is what "flame war" implies. Only the use of an economic term which has been in active use for over 100 years. It's an economic term.

I can make this point no more succinctly than I did.

With a few exceptions, hospitals in the USA were never filled and their ICUs were never filled. We built extra facilities that are now being dismantled:

Meanwhile patients who should have gone to the hospital for conditions other than Covid-19 are sitting at home dying instead. The hospitals are mostly empty and are losing money b/c of Covid-19 panic.

Quarantine is primarily for the susceptible or the sick. To extend quarantine to everyone has proven too costly IMO.

Re-opening states are seing increases, NOT surges.

Forum search was my absolute favorite part of Google. Is there any good alternative?
Midtown/East Sac is honestly the only place I would live if I were to go back. I have a major problem with the culture outside of the city itself:

1. People are very closed-minded. They're against education, labor, the government, LA, other countries, etc. Anti-vaxxers/homeschoolers are for real in the surrounding metro. I knew very few people who went to elite colleges and institutions from my high school. I just recently spoke with someone who threw a birthday party for their kid, no masks, no social distancing.

2. Homelessness. My barber's neighbor, a hair salon, recently went on Fox News to talk about property damage because the city won't do something.

3. Desperate poverty. You described the nice areas, Granite Bay and Folsom are hella rich. Go to Del Paso or where I grew up playing baseball on Watt Ave. Drugs, domestic abuse, shootings. Prostitution is basically an open secret.

4. Tech is nowhere to be found. I learned to code at the Hacker Lab, a local tech meetup non-profit, and got the hell out as soon as I could. There are literally no employers.

Yes, you can find a "cheap" place but for what you're getting the cost is way too high. I'm glad I left and I'll do my best to never go back.
No, I'm describing how a serious country would implement security at its airports.

>Why would they need to carry MP5s? Because that's what you've seen in movies?

The MP5 is a "it just works" close battle weapon that is very popular for urban combat and, speaking from experience, is a weapon that is very balanced and is also gorgeous to look at. The greatest critiques against it probably have to do with the fact it's usually chambered in 9mm. Now, HK makes a bunch or other variants but the 9mm is the most popular.

>Why do they need security clearances?

Because I don't want people who harass me to open my baggage in front of them to have questionable contacts that could otherwise be a means for a would-be terrorist (or other state actors since Cold War II just kicked off) to get a bomb onboard an aircraft.

>You want to mitigate "security theater" by making security wildly more dramatic and aimless.

I want to do away with the security theatre, and replace it with a serious organization that is trained and understands what they're doing.

If Facebook gave each dev a $15,000 computer setup then most will still be royally fucked by this policy.
Realistically, I'd stay right where I am (in Nashville). That's where my friends are, and it's close enough to family.

Take friends out of consideration, and I'd either go back up to Louisville (where I grew up) or somewhere up in the Pacific Northwest. I'd need to do a little more visiting up there to decide exactly where, though.

If I could move overseas? Edinburgh. Wasn't able to spend anywhere near as long there as I would've liked on my last UK trip, but it seemed lovely. Although I'd probably need to do a little more European and Australia/New Zealand travel to be absolutely sure. So, maybe I'd go nomad for a while before choosing where to settle down (don't really have any interest in doing the nomad life long-term, though).
Nothing if they take the trouble to make it work. This is just stocastic damage control, reducing somewhat the likelyhood of your real info being used, and there are many reasons why it probably works.

(In my case that's Vitória, Brazil.)

I moved out for the work opportunity, to a city a mere 6 hours away door-to-door over air travel, or 12 hours by car. It's been 10 years now.

I visit frequently, about 5 times a year. I spend summers there every year, at least 15 days straight, sometimes 25. I'm happily married with a son. I made new friends.

Yet, I very much miss the frequent contact with relatives and longtime friends.
