Of course, it's not so cut and dry. It's sort of cyclical IMO:

- There are already a ton of existing technology companies in the Bay Area, and also a ton of employees.

- Students from schools around the country who are interested in tech might plan to move to the Bay Area due to the number of companies there.

- If your company doesn't hire in the Bay Area, it may miss out on the chance to hire the employees in the groups above.

The end result is an abnormally high supply of technology workers in the Bay Area. I'm not saying that's something intrinsic to the location, it seems to me it's more a result of recent circumstances.
No it isn't.

Numbers: I pay the worker $10000 a month. Let's say my tax cost is $500 a month, and their tax cost is $500/mo. So they get a check for $9500, they see a $500 tax deduction, and they net $9000.

My all in cost is $10000.

Now the city says "you don't have to pay your part of the tax anymore, the worker does!"

So now I pay them $10000, they see a deduction of $1000 on their paycheck, and net $9000. My all in cost is still $10000, their net is still $9000. Nothing has changed.

I'm still paying $10000 to have that worker. And if my budget is 100000, I can still only afford 10 workers.
A Closer Look at the US-Cert Top Vulnerabilities List
Debated using RabbitMQ but decided the infrastructure overhead was too high.

Ended up looking into `rq` and `arq` which were both excellent!

https://python-rq.org/

https://arq-docs.helpmanual.io/

Would recommend if you're looking for a (faster) worker queue without all the overhead (in my case, didn't need all the other features that came w/ RabbitMQ so this got the job done).
What was the criteria to by on the list in the UK? In the US, I was put on the list when I had a GFR of 20 but that lasted only 2 years till it progressed to dialysis which is considered when GFR falls below 15. My kidney failure is due to IgA Nephropathy so it progressed despite all my attempts.
To be clear, I think either position is fine. If you want control over what people say that's okay - but maybe then you should be accountable for what they say like a publisher.

If you don't want to be accountable for what people say, that's fine - but maybe then like a traditional common carrier you shouldn't get to control what people say.

The asymmetry of "I control everything you can say but am accountable for none of it" is wrong, in my eyes.
Greater supply of employees, and potentially greater attraction TO employees.

Sure, they have to "import" employees, but importing 10% of the workforce in the Bay Area at X cost is apparently more appealing than importing 98% of employees to Tulsa at Y cost.

(Relatedly; Tulsa's not exactly a small place, but if you think the influence of "big tech" is bad in a larger metro like the Bay Area, I'd HATE to see what it would look like to bring a deluge of 'outsiders' into a much less populous region)
That is an anti-pattern and leads to burnout for ops teams.
I can ask my friend again who worked on public housing projects ten years ago. But one thing I remember her saying is California is really leery of shoddy construction and the resulting blight. And blighted low income housing is a big big political problem. So low income housing has to be built to take a lot of abuse. Which of course $$$.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I see and completely agree with your points. Everybody believing something that's wrong doesn't make it right, critical thinking is down and I believe that there's far too many distractions for people to stay on top of things (it's a full time job following politics).
"no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission" is not the same as "no human-to-human transmission"
That's great for them, but it means the current employees day-dreaming about leaving their luxuriously appointed home office in their palatial Mountain West exurban home for a Wednesday afternoon skiing trip are going to need to seriously readjust their expectations towards "splitting an apartment in Sacramento instead of SF"
Also politicians. They too are trying to fight the good fight and help their community. Pretty much any position of authority attracts a certain mindset yes, but also changes the person who assumes that authority.
It was accurate until this year - Amazon switched 401k providers from Vanguard to Fidelity. I don't remember all the details but after tax contributions (which are required for doing a mega backdoor) are possible now, but weren't before.
I'd figured wording like "fill tables" and "restaurant reservations" made it clear enough they were talking about eat-in, not takeout?
I think about it quite differently.

A function in the complex plane is a 4-dimensional thing. A graph of that function on the real plane is a 2-D slice of that 4-D thing.

That said, the one visualization of complex numbers that I wish more understood was a complex number in polar coordinates. In polar coordinates, addition is complicated. But multiplication is simple. Every complex number is a magnitude and an angle. You multiply the magnitudes and add the angles.

What this means is that -1 is (1, 180 degrees). Literally a turn halfway around the circle. And now what are its square roots? Well i is (1, 90 degrees) and -i is (1, -90 degrees). Now stand up and actually do those turns.

The result is that i is a turning motion that takes you off the real line. But that visualization helps build intuition about why in the complex plane there should be a close connection between exponential functions and sin/cos. (Specifically e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x) - in other words it is a turn by x radians.)
AMD Ryzen 5 4600H Review: Fastest Entry-Level Laptop CPU Ever
I think the original also has the downside that the scanner would have to go across the exact center of the circle to be able to read the code. With a rectangular one, any line from one side to the other will work so you don't have to be so accurate.
That would be Bob.
The number of places in the US where the situation you mentioned is reasonable and public transit is not also good enough to go car-less is very small. Carrying groceries on a moped is doable but a pain. Commuting on one in the winter isn't exactly fun either. Carrying kids on a scooter is a great way to meet every cop in every place you drive through. I wish mopeds were more practical but there's a bunch of little reasons that add up to them not working as well as a cheap car.... which is why pretty much nobody around me except a bunch of single people under the age of about 25 rides them.

> How can I explore photos that people I've blocked have uploaded, and get facebook to remove them?

Why do you think you should have the right to review the photos that other people uploaded, whether or not you've blocked them?
States do have rules around considering individuals to be contractors. I don't know of any laws that do the same with regard to contracted companies — for example, the company that employs the people who clean the bathrooms at FB. This seems much harder to overcome with regulations.
Byte arrays sure. Not strings. This is why having clear types is important! Strings aren't just byte arrays. Characters aren't just bytes.

This is long, and I apologize for that. I think I've said some important things though, and I'll ask you to do me the kindness of reading it. Thanks.

There's a notion in improv that when you respond only to the last thing that someone said, it's because you are in your own head and you're not listening. Additionally, it feels like you're talking down to me and others in this thread. Are those feelings invalid? It just seems like showing some respect to others should be a precursor to caring about whether a word could be misinterpreted as exclusionary, if the goal really is to make people feel less bad.

I personally devote a huge amount of time and energy to the feelings of others. I need to be doing it less, it degrades me. If I were to start caring about this on top of everything else, I would be completely dysfunctional. You call it a minor inconvenience, but if I were to accept that this is worth doing, I'd implicitly be agreeing to a thousand minor inconveniences, overthinking everything I say even more than I already do (this is a fifth draft, and look how long it has been made so I can feel I'm communicating effectively), and inevitably retreating altogether from social interactions that already give me anxiety.

Back to the subject at hand. What the word 'man' as in 'mankind', 'manpower', or 'man-hours' means to me is a dehumanized, de-individualised, notion of genetic humans working towards some end. This is a _very_ useful construct for me. A person is something else, a human individual. It is impossible for me to consider a single person, let alone thousands. People have 86 billion neurons of uncompressable complexity, and I've only got 86 billion of my own to try and grok that. This is also an incredibly useful construct for me. I can't just swap one for the other, it would be a significant long term effort to rewire all of the associations.

A better solution would be a new word to take the place of 'man' there. 'Man' already does the job, but I'm sure there are other prefixes in english that also mean human. I don't think it's a material issue, so I'm not going to devote energy to solving it. But if someone is going to tell me how to talk, they can afford to make the damn effort to find a suitable alternative instead of forcing me to adapt to the first thing that comes to mind. And when it is pointed out that it doesn't work, and it doesn't sound right, they could maybe try to figure out what is wrong with their solution, rather than assuming I'm a closed-minded closeted sexist. I don't know.
"Coerce" has a negative and unlawful connotation/definition. There is legislation for this so it's basically a lawful request for removal.
But it wouldn’t be $2000 per worker, as you’d have to get enough tax money to pay the people who aren’t working that $2000. If I make $6000 a month and you make $0 a month, and then we both get $2000 a month from my taxes, how can my take home pay remain $6000?
Fair, but IMO there’s not even a hint of nuance in the original comment. Even a “It’s complicated but...” would be better.
What are the other means?
Stop this "bad information gets people killed" nonsense. You can justify any kind of censorship with that. That's what China does too. If they allow protests, they'll get violent and people will get killed. If the government is overthrown, millions of people will probably be killed or die from the ensuing chaos.

Youtube, Facebook, etc. in some ways have more power than the government because they can influence public opinion. They also set the standard for what's morally acceptable and people carry that standard with them elsewhere in their lives. Eventually, they'll probably vote for the government to enforce it because it's so popular.

I once met an American who believed hate speech was a crime. It turns out that a lot of young people believe that. No doubt because it is a "crime" on all their social media platforms. Some of them already want to make it a real crime when the discover it isn't yet.
expand? you mean like wework? or any of the other softbank unicorns?
You say, "The main goal of the app is to help you focus, organise your thoughts, find a quiet space."

The well-known Ulysses app's home page slugs are:

- Ulysses Lets You Work Anywhere, Anytime

So, it's even the same three value props in the same order using the same keywords. You sure you didn't absorb this at some point and play it back later?

My reading of the linked references indicate that the system is not using Prolog or even Horn clauses. They are using a logic inference engine, but it isn't a Prolog system.
It would be a terrible solution if they did that I hope they don’t). I imagine they have specified what the legal basis is for collecting and using the photos and have an exemption outlined for when they receive a deletion request.
I will say it will go up. Software Engineering will end up meaning different things. For example, couple of years ago web dev was all the rage but these days web dev has a certain band of salaries with great people being paid a lot and others just scraping by. I believe software creates a lot of value when applied properly and I don't see this going down anytime sooner. Whether the field itself become easier is a different thing. Maybe people who work at a skill level where a bootcamp is okay to start a job will face a pay cut simply because barrier to entry is low but that will just be one end of a spectrum.
Am I the only person to think that even parents should not be able to post - for anything other than a transient period (maybe not even that) - photos of kids in a public web space?

It has always seemed obnoxious to me, the choice being made on somebody else's behalf to consign their privacy to the dustbin for eternity through this method.
An unpaid internship is done at a place where you expect to either get a job, or because the place and the work you do there is important to your subsequently getting a job or school entrance.

E.g., I did a quality improvement internship at a hospital to get a job in quality improvement there, once upon a time. It was "unpaid," but it was an audition for a job that I wanted.

As opposed to my time as a volunteer in a local free clinic, where no benefit accrued to me at all.
HEIF (H.265) is heavily patented, so 8 years is way too soon. We need to wait 20 years for the format to be freely usable.
The best one is state or local government. You’ll be able to make a lot of change and get tons of experience with a low barrier to entry.

Anything related to public safety (including transportation) probably needs the most tech talent.
At work we built a microservice-like (more like meso services) architecture which uses RabbitMQ for messaging.

RabbitMQ itself is great, but there are some downsides to this architecture:

* Lots of tooling (for blue/green deployments, load balancing, autoscaling, service meshes etc.) assumes HTTP(s)+JSON or GRPC these days

* Getting people who aren't deep into software engineering to write a service that connects to RabbitMQ has a much higher perceived hurdle than making them write a HTTP service

* Operations is different than with HTTP-based services, and many operators aren't used to it

TL;DR: it's more of a niche product for inter-service communication, which comes with all of the problems that niche products typically face.
Research is risky, it's easy to cut for short term gains, it's very hard to quantify before POC and that makes it very very hard to justify keeping, and few Co panties are good at the whole pipeline needed to turn research into profits and research is best done by people with equity. Those are just some of the reasons that the modern world has moved to a model where small, new companies soley do research and then either sell/license it or sell themselves to bigger companies.

Drucker wrote about this in (I think) the 90s. Its actually a much more sensible way to do this work.
RISC-V as an ISA is designed to be easy to implement. You can get a simple implementation in 3k lines of Verilog [1].

That being said, there's a huge difference between a toy / simple multi-cycle machine-mode RISC-V core and one with a modern, performent microarchitecture (pipelined, super-scalar, multi-issue, cache coherent across multiple cores, with efficient branch prediction). There's also extra work to implement RISC-V extensions that let you run any 'real' code like Linux (which requires anything from simple ISA extensions to implementing the Privileged Instruction spec which dictates additional things like the MMU and interrupt controller).

How is that "outsourcing"? Everyone is still from the same company but instead of just different cities, it's different countries as well.
Here's a crazy idea: If your whole web site is based around a high stakes interaction, especially with a time limit, put a dress rehearsal into the registration process.

If someone wants to make an account to register for a test, ask them to upload a picture of anything. A signature. The wall. Their face. A cat. Use the same framework for finishing the test that you used for this interaction. So if for instance you've broken the submit button on mobile Safari, that gets sorted out before the Big Day.
Wow, and the app is up 2 million reviews (26MM -> 28MM) since being posted yesterday!
Do you really not see the critical differences between having your internet cut off and having a website owner remove something you posted to their website? I am honestly having difficulty believing that.
Your value to the company is relative to the job market you are competing in.

You might be worth 90k in the SF market, but in a global market, competing against cheap labor and other regional bureaucratic regulations, your value will be less.
I don't know how you could read this thread and get to what you wrote for your alternative "instead of expanding". The alternative proposed by the thread starter is something like: "having invested in expansion, she should continue supporting the employees that were hired during that expansion". And that expansion is the change in the mission that the thread starter is referring to.
> Please define the "poverty problem" in the US.

Ugh. That's way too complex, and you know it. But I'll try to give you some bullet points:

1. Homelessness
2. Inability to afford healthcare
3. Home ownership being inaccessible to most people
4. Inability to afford childcare
5. Inability to afford education

Note how 1, 4, and 5 aren't solvable by providing jobs--these are problems that prevent you from entering the workforce even when jobs are available.

Frankly, I don't think you're asking this question in good faith.

> How is an increase in the money supply related to income inequality?

If you implement UBI, you're essentially also implementing a minimum wage, since companies will have to pay significantly more than UBI. Rather than accept a cut in their own pay to pay workers more, executives will raise the price of goods and services. This effect, across the economy causes inflation. So if you don't find a way to prevent executives raising their own pay to maintain inequality, you get inflation any time you give money to the poor.

Economic conservatives tend to overstate this problem, in my opinion--there's nothing preventing you from just raising the UBI proportional to inflation. But historically, minimum wage hasn't tracked inflation, and I worry that UBI would suffer the same problem.
> [...] have different opinions about partioning, e.g. limiting access and execution rights and usage for /var, /tmp you are in for an eternal uphill battle against the decisions of 'upstream' and therefore the 'community' which devoutly adheres to these. There are some derivatives addressing that

People are free to move to lower cost of living areas. In fact, many would argue this is a benefit of UBI and will bring much needed economic resources to under populated parts of the country.

Not everyone needs to live in the Bay Area.

COL adjustment to UBI would be a huge mistake and undermine the entire concept.
I am not criticizing them for expanding. I am criticizing Jobs for using her power to hire more people, but not using her power to temporarily maintain their jobs in a uniquely dangerous situation.

>I can only think of three environments where making friends is "built-in": school, work, and church

You left out the military, but those are merely the few institutional walls that society has most oppressively forced upon us. There are countless other sports teams, game clubs, hobby communities, activist groups, charities/service organizations, hacker/maker spaces, martial arts gyms, etc. etc which we are more free to choose from, and are often more likely to enjoy. With the internet, such groups have never been easier to find.

Choosing is only an issue because we are so unused to having such agency over our own lives.
I find people who have never actually worked remotely before are all jazzed going full time remote. People who have done it before, like myself, will tell them it's not for everyone and has some downsides. Once people realize they can't just go snowboarding in the middle of the day and need to actively find human interaction to avoid depression and isolation while getting paid less they will change their tune.

The ideal setup is 1-2 days per week WFH and flexible WFH while traveling for the holidays so you don't have burn through vacation days IMO.
Better would be to pay 10-20$ for an aggregated service, wherein you'll get all articles of to top 100 newspapers. Payment to newspaper will be done based on no. of articles read.

To reduce it being a pure click-bait pool, we can also add some sort of tipping model, wherein part of my money is distributed according to like/rating I have given. So a 5* investigative piece will get more money.
yeah - I honestly think phoenix metro is a great place to live. Salaries are good, CoL is still fairly low (though its gone up quite a bit in the last 10 years), and there seem to be more opportunities all the time.

TMSC dumping $12B into the phoenix economy over the next 9 years would only make things sweeter...
Off the top of my head:

- Sales (for ads/sponsorship to actually make said revenue)

- Tech (for managing said traffic to make said revenue)

- Social media/distribution (for sourcing said traffic to make said revenue)

- Data Analysis (for analyzing all of the above)

- Legal (not directly related to revenue but is essentially required for journalism at this level)

Even the "indie" journalists often have teams in these areas working for them, just with less visibility.
