It's generally quite low, but it depends on a large number of factors, and varies a lot market to market. It's generally a couple percentage points of your monthly premium, per month.

It's also that we (the team) failed to put steps in place to prevent the problem. The person who pushed the button that took down prod is only the last person who made a mistake. Plenty of mistakes were made before, otherwise their mistake would've been a non-issue.

If your system can't tolerate one person's mistake, it's not robust.

None of this means you can't praise a whole team (you should! The original statement just said you CAN praise individuals), or discipline team members who regularly show poor judgement.
I went from software engineer to founder. As part of that journey I had to learn something about design since my co-founder didn't have that skill or interest.

My advice for founders: copy.

Find a design you like, brand colors you like, and just copy it exactly. Colors, shadows, spacing, layout. As long as it is an established brand/company, the UX will be good enough that it won't harm your startup. And that's all you are going for initially: a design that doesn't turn customers away.

This is one of my favorite videos about choice. It’s a couple snippets of Alan Watts and audio from Mr. Nobody. All with nicely edited video clips from here and there. I think it related to nonduality. That all options are correct, when you think about it or frame it a certain way: https://youtu.be/aGpyjeq93K8
Knowing the state of English education here I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if the story was true, especially seeing how the original blog post was written by a tutor in (rather rural) Fukui. I’ve never experienced anything like this myself, but some teachers truly are clueless.

However it’s quite a bit of a stretch to call these “Japanese rules for writing your ABCs”. The tweet wouldn’t have gotten 15k likes and retweets if this was a widespread occurrence or the standard way people are taught English here. It’s shocking and outrageous, that’s what made it viral.
From my possibly outdated research, it might be because you don't normally leave university with Master's degree in the USA, just the Bachelors, and there is no "normal" Masters program - essentially you do mastery as part of PhD and then get "moved over" automatically to PhD.

Of course you can leave with Master's degree at that point, it's just that it seemed to me that USA generally didn't got for MSci style degree, not in CS related areas at least.

All of your options are very good ones, so you likely won’t be able to come to a decision by simply thinking about it and getting advice.

Take concrete steps in a promising direction and judge the results along the way.

For example, if you want to pursue a higher-paying job:

* Do interviews at big tech companies. Talk to the people who work there and really learn what it’s like to work there.

* Visit cities like SF, NYC, and Seattle, meet local people, and see if you would love to move there.

Same goes for the other options. Spend some time working for free with someone who has a startup idea and see if you like it. And so on.
What we're talking about here are trust roots and one of the things people usually get wrong when they try to draw a diagram of how this works is they draw certificates as nodes and then just connect those nodes together with abstract lines.

Actually the correct mental model is a graph of public keys and the lines between them (joining two nodes directionally) are the certificates.

So although we traditionally handle the root trust set as a bunch of self-signed certificates, those certificates are largely unimportant, what's vital is the public keys baked inside them.

As a result what makes older roots obsolete is not a signature algorithm, but the type and size of key chosen when they were created, that key is in a very real sense the root.

This AddTrust root for example was 2048-bit RSA. You can use that size of RSA key today for your funny cat video site, no problem, but it's clearly an inadequate choice for a CA root. Fortunately roots like this are gradually expiring.

If I figure out how to build a machine that can break 2048-bit RSA keys for $10M per key it makes no sense to target your cat videos. But a CA root is an attractive target. So we'd like to have more margin for the roots not the same or less.

Some years ago Mozilla finally prohibited 1024-bit RSA keys in roots. Some of the oldest roots in the business were 1024-bit RSA, which today would not be considered acceptable even on your cat video site, but when those roots were created 1024-bit RSA seemed safe enough.

In 5-10 years you'd probably want as much as possible for roots to be the more compact elliptic curve public keys, maybe there will be some better (more secure) curves in use by then, maybe not.

Sounds like they’re trying to use an external source of altruism to reinforce altruism from their customers.
Yeah, true. Lucky for everyone both UX skills and product skills can be taught. Otherwise we'd have no hope and a sea of disjointed unusable products.

Product management and UX get pretty blurry (positively) when product management wants to generate value to customers by listening to them/distilling what users want into a good strategy that meshes with the business.
> my earning potential has only increased as I've gained more experience

I think the OP is referring to the sum earning potential across remaining years. At a certain point job retraining isnt worth it because the low number of remaining years results in a negative EROI vs maintaining the course.

I've set up self-hosted WordPress and Ghost. I personally found Ghost's "5 minute set up" to be pretty close to the mark (in contrast to all other software that advertises a 5 min set up and takes me half a day of messing around with config + Google + documentation - maybe I'm just slow)

I'm not talking about convincing devs, I'm talking about convincing management that big bang refactor that hypothetically results in better performance numbers is worth the opportunity costs on new features you couldn't deliver. Or the opportunity costs of saving that money spent on devs.

The worst parts of the web do not prioritize latency numbers, so I don't see how you'd convince them that it's worth it, and any backwards-incompatible changes to the web (to force them to make the change) have historically had poor uptake from consumers, devs, and browsers alike.

I think this is a bit of a narrow view. Even if I probably do what you say and decline it myself, personal circumstances will vary. I think law here is relevant since it is the minimum that the company will have to uphold and your case to decline will be stronger. You are right in that each person should think about what they want, but they should also balance it with their circumstances.
Ask HN: What cryptocurrencies do you use?
I'll start: I use mostly monero and some bitcoin.
There is no one set formula. Everyone here can only share what’s worked or not worked for them, and that may or may not work for you.

My personal anecdote: I’ve always tried to do interesting things with meaningful impact while staying away from dark pattern systems (ad tech, marketing tech, surveillance tech) as they are detrimental to society at large. This has led me to spend more time on safety critical systems. Also, I prefer to research algorithms, techniques and tools that other engineers can use to deliver products. I try to write code that other engineers will use.

My choices have led me to enjoy high autonomy at the price of salary, which is about adequate at best. That’s the price of the moral high ground.

It may be that what’s bothering you is the lack of impact. It seems that most of your research doesn’t lead to products, and the market share of the products also sounds fairly niche.

Perhaps doing the same role at a large corporation with a large client base will scratch the itch. Govt. is also another choice. Policy impact can be massive. Your research will be more focused on tech that actually has a chance of being useful to the business and some of the code you write will end up in a production system. Now, this will likely still make you less money, sometimes far less, than the folks in operations, basically those in the line of fire responsible for ensuring continuous operation. You could go work for them instead if money is more important.

That’s the fundamental tradeoff: autonomy or money. It’s entirely up to you to decide which is worth more to you.

I won’t jump into opening your own business because that requires a completely different skillset, and frankly it’s very difficult to succeed if you’re not inherently a people person. It would only really work if you have a unique skill catering to a dedicated, pre-made market. Every other type of business seems to require a lot of people-handling, and overall is the least autonomous of the three. The client is always your boss. Ergo if you have many clients, you have many bosses. Of course, giving people exactly what they want can make you a billionaire, so there’s that tradeoff again.
Have you discovered patterns? I've done some research work on remote learning, so genuinely curious.

Edit: It looks like I have confused Birger Sørensen with Ralph S. Baric, who is the real expert.

This is unfortunate news.

For context, Birger Sørensen is one of two global experts in genetically engineered Corona viruses and the other is Shi Zhengli, based out of Wuhan.

For the last 20 years, the two have been in competition to humanize coronaviruses and test how contagious they are in mice and primates.
And then you keep thinking about how fast cereal is disappearing in your house, wondering whether you're just so sleepy in the morning you don't remember eating more and more of it - until one night you spot a string of AInts stealing your cereal, piece by piece. By the time you've realized your mistake, the colony has grown 100x in size and already spread to the two neighboring houses, being held back by the front line of an ongoing war with an AInt colony of your friend one street down.
What protects them? It’s unclear to me what’s their “unfair advantage”. I can tell you what it’s not — a chat bot. Unless they have some NLP/AGI breakthru (and if so, why are they an insurance company?), the apps that Allstate, Geico, etc are pushing should be able to do the same thing. Even if not in a “chat” interface, the end result will be the same.

So do they simply have a nicer UX / more appealing model (marketing) to a younger generation? If so, I’m surprised they weren’t bought by one of the bigger brands by now.
Insurance is a very different business model from tech business models. Losses that are single-digit percentages of revenue are not bad, especially for a company that's investing in growth. Shrinking loss while growing actually shows that they have very good traction.

Price sensitivity can be a good thing for a competitor, and tech actually does help their business (see my cousin comments in this thread).

I work in insurance tech, but not for Lemonade or anyone affiliated with them.

>or discipline team members who regularly show poor judgement.

Isn't this contradictory with the original premise? If you discipline an individual you are blaming the individual.

You're saying you can praise individuals and you can discipline individuals and you must also follow this: "Good teams don't blame individuals. You can praise individuals, but you take blame as a team."

Do you not see the contradiction? I'm literally getting voted down because of slightly miffed feelings.

Despite all of this the logical correctness of my statement stands and you have inadvertently agreed with every aspect of my statement.

Maybe this is just because I learned to touch-type rather early, but (1) typing "accessibility" is far faster than typing "a11y", because it doesn't require reaching as far from the home row and (2) it is rare that the limiting factor is the speed at which keys can be pressed, rather than the speed at which correct and accurate words can be chosen.

Text is meant to be read, and not just written. I'll agree that there are chunking benefits in acronyms and abbreviations when working in a shared context, but outside of those shared contexts, the abbreviations severely impede communication.
That's quite a strawman argument.

'g' is a scalar that tries to measure the relatively large chunk of correlation that tends to show up on aptitude tests.

On average, individuals who do well on one type of intellectual task tend to do well on most other types of intellectual tasks. Maybe someone is good at all forms of pattern recognition but just can't manage 3d-rotation tasks. It happens.

So an IQ test isn't perfect. There isn't one true value that exists in the world that is 'g'. Many tests now break out 'verbal' and 'mathematical' IQ, but I suspect even those have a correlation > 0.5
I believe DDG used other solutions pre-Bing; it’s just that, after they switched to Bing, it seemed to work well enough that they kept it. Could they afford the hit in result quality resulting from switching away, if MS started playing rough? That’s a good question, but I’m sure the DDG folks have thought about it.

Or not taking on risky customers...
Some advice from my experiences.

First thing to realize is that you are already very successful in monetary terms. You're in a top percentile of earnings and have options open to you many people would dream of. You've got lucky!

Once you have accepted that, you need to work out what is driving you on because it is likely ego rather interest or passion or desire. It's about how you can demonstrate you are a success to some figure you have chosen to arbitrate your success - be that friends/family/organisation/other.

The smart thing to do is what you want to do and is bringing you closer to fulfilling you current life goals - and these will change.

Luck can turn bad very quick and go well - one career move ended up increasing my income massively - but my latest one due to bad timing with covid has left me unemployed and looking for work!

I look back and my traveling days and I think I'd be better off doing something else during that period.

It seems like traveling and adventuring has been glamorized by the media and people around me a bit much and I caught the bug.

Looking back, I would have preferred to spend more time at local gardens, participated more in neighborhood events, helped out local community more and got to know my neighbors better. These activities to build a deeper emotional connection with people around me would have helped my mental health tremendously back then.

I'm not saying I regret traveling, I'm saying that the main reason why I took time to explore the world primarily because of the glamor of it and me trying to chase the next crazy adventure, all the while contributing to global warming in my wake. Traveling is not for everyone and I hope fewer people give out a blanket `travel the world` prescription and more people are willing to admit that maybe traveling didn't do shit for their growth.
They've been successfully extracting power from the Rance estuary for over half a century.

Does nobody question the premise that Sars-Cov-19 is actually a big threat? At least the current incarnation seems rather tame. The panic over it however is rather real.
@mjburgess was using it to refer to negative attributes, and so was I. You stretched the idea into something it's not by saying it has to be "pathological", and that it has to negatively impact others, and you claimed that unless people adhered to those criteria, the term wouldn't be understood. Neither of those claims of yours is supported by the definition you just provided, nor have you demonstrated that "most people" agree. Narcissism can be a negative attribute about someone without being pathological and without affecting other people in a material way. Being narcissistic is judged as a negative attribute to have by the dictionary.com definition with the purely subjective words "inordinate" and "excessive", but it doesn't otherwise agree with what you said above.

I'll accept the learning curve for Haskell is at least longer (rather than steeper) than in most languages, but to hold this up as an example to me is just bizarre.

Moreover, you've conveniently left out the type signature which I expect would normally accompany this function, which would tell the reader what the `p` variable is.
