The flu is also really bad. Making sure you are vaccinated before working in a hospital is a requirement is taken seriously, and the 1918 flu outbreak was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history. Don't underestimate the flu. Sometimes, I wonder if we would respect it more if we had truly or nearly vanquished it like Smallpox and polio. The way we have it now, just barely under control with the constant specter of a new pandemic, such as h5n1, seems to lead to less respect for how dangerous it really is, since we just see it as a really bad cold with a kind if ineffective vaccine instead of the dangerous killer that it actually is. If coronavirus was as bad as the flu, we'd be in a really bad situation. But it doesnt seem to mutate as easily or have the ability to rearrange its genome on the fly, so a vaccine might be able to defeat it properly and for good.

Do they have to adjust salaries too or is that just saving money on compensation?
If demand for labor goes down in SF, and wages go down in SF, so will the COL.

Neat. I recently found that googling the Japanese Post Office emoji results in a totally borked SERP (cross-browser, desktop, including desktop mode on Android Chrome). I assume there are other characters as well.
My wife and I moved from Solana Beach California to Sedona Arizona (in the mountains, two hours north of Phoenix) in 1998 and it was a great decision. We did close up our house twice for a while and left town when I worked at Google and Capital One, but Sedona has been our home most of the time.

Work wise it has been OK remotely consulting, but that only worked because I usually enjoy whatever someone is paying me to work on. I also write some books, but that is mostly for fun, not revenue.

In the last 22 years, I think I have averaged about 15 hours a week working, which seems like a good compromise between career and spending time with friends and family.
LinkedIn maybe? First time I've seen it too.
Most people who code are not developers.

Mine and my partners parents learned c (badly) at some point. Nearly everyone on the b2b customer support team at my last job could sling some js. A surprising number of marketers learn to wrangle some carousels/buttons/etc. vba script excel monster stories are prevalent.

These people are great to monetize. They are paid well and doing something they don't understand well.
A few years back, I identified a triumvirate of my favorite places: Denver, Austin and Portland. If it was to be an urban place, those are my choices. They all have become fairly extreme as far as traffic and housing prices, though.

For something more rural, I like Taos, New Mexico and a few cities in the area north of there in Colorado, the San Luis Valley. The entire area is rich in natural beauty, inexpensive and not very crowded. The drawback is that due to my fairly disturbing collection of serious illnesses, and worrisome history of having to go to emergency rooms, I would be better off being close to a really good hospital.
Where are you going with this? It isn't really controversial at all that a business needs to pay state taxes associated with their employees resident in the state. We can speculate about some alternate tax regime that didn't have those complications but to speculate on how a business can skirt the existing requirements doesn't seem like a productive conversation

No legitimate business is going to play games trying to illegal avoid these basic state taxes. They may choose to not have employees in certain states due to particular laws though. California comes to mind...
Which is what made it seem impossible.

The complaints about these sites is usually that (a) they're literally wrong just often enough that you don't want to rely on them, which defeats the point of a reference, or (b) they try to "teach" things that are not recommended best practices. With w3schools in particular, there's the added "ick" that they try very hard to make it look like they're an offical W3C source, and sell scammy certifications based on that confusion. They also provided (past tense, because I haven't looked at it in years) some very questionable practices with PHP that would lead to trivially insecure code.

cppreference.com is what I usually use for C++. It's well organized, well cross-linked, and uses exact standards language whenever possible. It's also very good about showing the differences between successive versions of the C++ standard libraries, which is invaluable if you're working with any sort of legacy code and wondering why something looks funny.

For HTML5/JS, MDN (Mozilla) was my default when I did front-end, but it's been a little while. I'm sure Mozilla is still great, but there might also be something easier to traverse.

The grandparent does have a point when it comes to assigning blame; when you have a hardware-based solution then one can always blame the hardware manufacturer. If you use an open-source solution then there is typically no warranties, and then blame therefore falls upon whomever implemented the solution.

Management likes accountability so the above isn't going to change any time soon.

Now, obviously, the way around is to use enterprise-level solutions based on software. It is often more expensive than the hardware route, but as you say, there are plenty of vendors who do offer such solutions with a proper SLA.

I lived in SLC for a bit and loved it there, I can only imagine how great it is further out from the city. Utah seemed undiscovered at the time, and since leaving our house value has skyrocketed near Liberty Park, and tech has exploded. It seems the local term is "the silicon slopes", which is creative.
Their loss. That’s GP’s point right? If there was a fair market, they’d lose out on talent that brings their business forward vs competitors.
Thank you for being a Fakespot user. I thought I'd bring in some perspective to your question.

Your observation of the preponderance of unreliable reviews on Amazon matches what we see across the board.
Unfortunately, ever since Amazon opened up to 3rd party sellers, the reviews have become a marketing tool by a lot of these sellers to move ahead of other products. These sellers use everything from pure fake reviews to gamed verified purchase reviews. This is major reason why so many reviews nowadays are unreliable, it is truly a wild west out there in the eCommerce world and fake reviews can mean $$$.

With that said, we just launched Fakespot Guardian as part of our new Chrome extension which solves the 3rd party seller problem by telling you if a seller is reliable or not. By knowing if seller and reviews are reliable, you will be able to purchase anything with confidence.
I already work remotely. We live in a small California suburb because its close to family (sister in law is 15 minutes away one way, mother in law is 15 minutes away another way), houses are "affordable" (for California), and it has decent enough schools.
> In literary and historical analysis, presentism is the anachronistic introduction of present-day ideas and perspectives into depictions or interpretations of the past. Some modern historians seek to avoid presentism in their work because they consider it a form of cultural bias, and believe it creates a distorted understanding of their subject matter. The practice of presentism is regarded by some as a common fallacy when writing about the past.

> The Oxford English Dictionary gives the first citation for presentism in its historiographic sense from 1916, and the word may have been used in this meaning as early as the 1870s.

Your comment goes beyond a typical ad hominem, you’re dismissing an argument simply because it has previously been used at least once by people you disagree with.
When I worked for google as SRE for the web crawler, I low key advocated for de-indexing pinterest, but didn't get anywhere, (this is unsurprising, I was a nobody there.) I have no insight into why they don't de-index pinterest, but I know pinterest was on the radar as a thing of some sort. Meantime, I just add "-site:pinterest.*" to image queries... which I gather is probably more or less the sort of thing this addon does.
Agree. I was listening to something else which had reasonable volume and this absolutely blasted my ears at an uncomfortable level.
I want to move somewhere where I can go to an office and make great stuff with a team I love face to face. Have lunch with them. Talk them to about more than just work. Socialize with them outside of work.

Some people (and some cultures) value their time with co-workers.
Goddamn Pinterest. No I don't want to sign up for Pinterest just to look at this pic that Google Image Search thinks is available to the general internet!

Startup feedback: AI chatbot for Human Resources
Hi HN!

We need feedback on our early stage AI HR bot for employee onboarding.

It will help new employees learn about SOPs and their organisation’s culture in regular bite-size increments.

We think this would be useful for SMEs and NGOs

Any Feedback is well appreciated!

I'd expect it to provide a greater surplus to lower-expenses candidates, as any common price does. That's not really favoring lower CoL.

> It’s unlikely that a dev shop in Bengaluru is going to start offering remote salaries that would be enticing for a US-based engineer, but the reverse would be completely expected.

Yes, for work that the skills required can easily be sourced anywhere, remote work is going to lead to natural price level much lower than the prices in the highest price segment of geographical segregate markets.

OTOH, where skills demanded are rare and not widely available, normalization of remote work just means its easier for more employers to join the bidding on that restricted set of employees with low transaction costs. So, for commodity labor it drives wages down to the lowest common denominator; for the most elite labor it drives wages up.

Like neoliberals free trade itself, it exacerbates inequalities.

It's not being forced on anyone. People are free to continue working in SV and presumably receive the same salary they were before.

If they decide to move elsewhere that's a substantial and meaningful change from the agreement they entered into for the job. Of course their compensation will change.

Facebook didn't hire engineers to work remotely.
Think about it more from the perspective of a jailbroken device being used as a wallet for "cloned" virtual credit cards, transit cards etc. and then using those on NFC readers.

It's not possible right now AFAIK but that doesn't mean it might not be possible later.

The main point I'm trying to make though is that mobile devices support NFC payments with virtual cards in wallets that are protected by Apple/Google. That's not a use case that is supported on regular PCs, so it's not unreasonable that the security requirements are different.

This is unfortunately common in management. Ideas are easy and exciting; execution is difficult and requires sacrifice & discipline. Human beings love to enjoy the benefits of thinking pretty thoughts without the actual cost of action.

Portland is not in the extreme hazard zone, but it will experience sustained (3-5 minutes) of shaking that will be strong enough to reduce much of the city to rubble. The city is predominantly build with unreinforced masonry that will crumble.
I use a Mini for mobile development. My advice is to get the biggest SSD possible. The number of lanes for writing are dependent on SSD size, so you will get much faster writes from a 512Gb SSD than a 256GB, and fastest of all from a 1Gb.
But the new Facebook policy isn’t merit based (“best person for the job”). If the “best person for the job” happens to want to live in Atlanta, she will get paid less than the marginal candidate who happens to live in San Francisco.

You seem to be overlooking why geographic discrimination in salaries exists in the first place. As tzs points out in a sibling comment, it’s because when Google has an office in Mountain View, it doesn’t just care about hiring the Nth-percentile employee. It has to pay enough to hire the Nth-percentile employee who wants to live in Mountain View for that salary. Where the worker is located matters because Google has decided that it’s office should be in Mountain View, and further that it wants to have its teams under one roof. That economic justification doesn’t exist for remote workers.

alright, just to clarify, from the comment that introduced expressive power into the discussion:

> Specs/contracts are cool but ultimately don't afford the same kind of descriptive and expressive power that a static type system does.

i understand that as "the ability to describe/enforce the domain's rules".

now, i guess i made a bit of leap, jumping to runtime typechecking. my thinking was that while modelling your domain, you might want to specify that e.g. `width` and `height` must at least be numeric (i know i would!); `typeguard` et al are a concise way of doing that in Python, but have their limitations. so static types can be more "expressive" if the tools i mentioned (generics and function types) are useful for describing your domain model, which i often find to be the case.

looks like i missed the mark there; but in that case, i'm not sure what point you're making with that Square class. it's hard to say what's missing (or not) because there's not a lot there.
Even better, let people subscribe to block lists, like ad blockers do. Instead of putting together my own list of shit sites (which will be perpetually out of date), I'd be happy to outsource that to some group I trust.

SF, and much of the rest of the Bay Area to a lesser (or greater, on the case of Marin) extent had a notoriously high cost of living before “Silicon Valley” was more than a small part of the South Bay.

It's more than tech work that has drawn people to SF, and that combined with supply restrictions that also aren't driven by the tech workforce have kept prices high since before the tech workforce showed up.
I had popcorn time installed for a while, but it kept running services in the background and spamming notifications, even when I killed them. After a few days of that I uninstalled it.

People aren't paid by their utility (if that were true, employees at highly profitable companies would be paid a lot more). They are paid the lowest amount that either the market (or other forces - like unions) will bear. A remote worker in Phoenix doesn't have as many options as a remote worker in NYC when it comes to switching jobs a getting a high salary. So the company pays the NYC dev more since they need to pay more in order to retain that person.

I'm absolutely certain that there are some 10x engineers in Bangalore that are getting paid peanuts because they can be exploited and don't have as many options. That's the nature of capitalism and why many see it as an extractive system.
For me, the information tends to be incomplete that it’s hard to use as a reference, which is often why I am searching in the first place. For example look at JavaScript Array reduce function in w3schools [0] and MDN [1] and try to decide the exact result when you pass only one argument to the function. MDN is very precise about the behavior and w3schools basically forces you to test and see.

We do have the same issue here in Europe, albeit at a smaller scale. If the old dams can be re-purposed and brought back to use, then that would be a nice compromise.

Some old dams and sluices are beyond repair, though. In those cases it's better to just restore the rivers as far as possible.

Anecdotally as a caffeine addict I sleep fine but worry a bit about the opposite problem, that after the morning coffee effect wears off I get sleepy. I'm not sure if I might have more consistent energy if I stopped.
Agreed, that'd be excellent. It's too bad that it doesn't really seem like Google's MO to give us those kinds of levers in Search.
you won't buy the dell because other brands offer only low wattage usb-c, while dells also have fast-charge ports that go up to 230w. oof. i don't even want to argue with that logic. thank you sir for existing.
You seem to be trying to litigate this on Hacker News, which is does not have the authority to issue you a refund. If you feel strongly about this, sue Intel. Most of us will not be joining you because we either rent CPUs from Amazon or are out a tiny amount of money for our personal rigs. Yup, this is "how they get you" and someone should be a check and balance on a defective product. But, most of us have no appetite to spend years or decades litigating this. We accept that our $200 wafer of silicon with 13nm features that can execute billions of mathematical operations is "good enough". Sometimes there are bugs. But we don't know how to make these things ourselves, so we deal with them and aren't really looking for a pound of flesh from Intel because the billions of instructions their CPUs can execute per second is a slightly lower number of billions.
Why? Maybe, maybe not. We wouldn't know. There is nothing wrong in being interested in some new things that can help us approach things in new ways.

I recall that the git-svn bridge had me hooked on git long before github. Also made it braindead simple to migrate an svn shop.

We looked at hg. I also dabbled in a few others. bzr, I believe was a popular one.

As said upstream. There are plenty of reasons that git "won." Most of them did seem technical. But, I could see things going many ways. For the most part, source control is not a problem most people think they have. Just look at how terrible the data science folks are? And management is stuck in whatever MS is doing in Word nowadays.
I am really digging the code. Clean, modern, vanilla js! The amount of polish in this game is very appreciated!

'managing operations and logistics' is not software engineering. Its a management position with clear and direct positive influence on the bottom line of the company and well defined promotion track all the way up to CEO (for example Apple).

As for security work, ask someone on top of the game like Charlie Miller https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/secre... The only clear path to serious money leads to black market.

Security, maintenance, even software engineering are most often booked as business expense. Nobody invests in security, they incur it.
> US Federal Government does this.

US FedGov location pay is based on federally-dictated work site, not where the employee resides. Adjusting salaries based on employer location demands is non-controversial, and based on different job requirements in

Paying people less because they live where lots of black people live (and race and other protected classes in US employment law do correlate with cost of living), when the employer requirements do not differ on whit, is not the same thing.
My assumption is this is related to the ability to neuter Intel Management Engine.
People seem to be missing that this is entirely voluntary. Facebook isn't forcing people to accept a pay cut, just saying that if you choose to move then your salary will be cut.

This has been SOP at big tech companies for years. If you choose to move to a cheaper location, your salary will be adjusted to the new market rate.

I know plenty of people who have gone through this and nobody felt demotivated. They all chose to move and were well aware of the salary cut when they made that choice.
