> Are people good judges of how much value they bring a company?

People are average judges, by definition :) I don't think that's very important though.

There are two ways of looking at this, IMO. In the Hayekian sense, information flow... especially price information makes markets work. This is one of the of the reasons literal markets exist(ed). Markets "clear." All the metal, meat, etc. that needs to be sold gets sold. Even in modern times, you can get great deals on closing days (often sunday) in a literal meat market. Prices move fluidly, and if market conditions dictate that lamb cutlets are 75% off.. that price travels like the market quickly.

The other major factor besides information flow is number of participants, fwiw.

The other way of looking at it is as power gaps. Employers have relatively more power in negotiations because they have more price information.
I just broke someone's brain by relating this fact to them.

Layers of abstraction, even in the hardware.
There already is a sub-set of people whose salary is public: top executives of public companies (their compensation is listed in the public disclosures).

It had a very interesting effect: no one wants to be paid in the bottom 50%, so every job offer (at the executive level) claims to pay in the top 75% or so. Which led to salary inflation.

I'm very curious to see if the same would happen here (and I think it started to happen somewhat with sites such as level.fyi sharing salary info). If you see (in aggregate) what others get for similar positions, you are more likely to get an offer above that average. Which over time, leads to everyone getting raises.

Modern cars can trivially enforce the speed limit

Not sure about everywhere, but speed limits are first glance limits in at least some places, where other evidence can prove that a speed above the limit was not "speeding". Speed limits don't know what traffic is doing, they don't know road conditions, they don't know if you have an emergency. They're just a number set by ideally an engineer, or less ideally a party with conflicting interests (revenue).

I had to drive someone to an emergency room once. There wasn't time or money for an ambulance. If my car was automatically enforcing speed limits, they might have died.

Moreover there are far, far, far fewer no-fly zones than speed limit zones. A no-fly zone is a fairly simple polygon -- are you inside or outside. Every street has its own speed limit, which can vary from 5mph to 80mph in the US, and traffic on some freeways is consistently higher than 80. Some highways have dynamic speed limits, e.g. 65 at night and 55 during rush hour. School zones and pedestrian crossings have limits based on whether someone has switched on a light, or times of day, or even just the presence of children.

So no, you cannot have, and do not want, automated in-vehicle enforcement of speed limits.
Are people good judges of how much value they bring to a company. No, and neither are persons that are not you. That is why pay should be way less subjective and based on humanistic principles.

Healthcare for the Democrats is like guns for Republicans. It's too useful as a wedge issue they can use to scare voters to the polls. They're more interested in yelling about what the other side will than passing the legislation they promise.
Exactly. This is what people bashing Java just don’t seem to understand. Training a new Java employee on an existing code base is far cheaper than on a C/C++ codebase. Speaking from personal experience.

A number of things have lead to this.

* Student loans detaching cost from time of service, similar to insurance and medicine

* Diminishing support for public colleges. In California UC and CSU schools were essentially free to Cal redidents until mid 60s.

* Metastatic administrations, partly for compliance and partly because the money is there. It sure isn't going to faculty.
> I have no idea how much my employer contributes to my premiums. the only way I can think of to estimate the cost is to look up typical pricing for comparable ACA plans.

Code DD in box 12 of your W2 shows the cost of the health benefits from your employer.

I know almost nothing about "OOP', but I was under the impression this was bad OOP?
Your points are anecdotal as well, without you realizing it, in the sense that they're based on your lack of anecdotes.

To further the anecdotal train I can tell you I have a few first hand examples that prove you wrong:
- Due to me negotiating well during the offer stage I received a title bump (to meet mandatory max salary range reqs) and had budget pulled from other open positions to pay for mine as I was now 40% (I'm guessing) above max pay for the position I interviewed for.
- Before my latest job I've had one way candid conversations with coworkers (i.e., I know what they make) and I've always been significantly above them (25-40%) for the same level of experience or less.

I'm completely against making salary numbers public for obvious reasons.

I have an LG Ultra HD monitor and I have been using Lunar with smooth transition for 2 years now. I have far exceeded the 100k writes mark, probably even more than 500k and I see no problem with my monitor. I think new monitors should be immune to this since RAM and flash storage is so much cheaper nowadays.
I think its better to err on the side of not punishing people rather than punishing them too much. Pardons provide an escape hatch where we can skip a punishment if it seems manifestly unjust.
Encapsulation is only really an issue if you don't follow the law of demeter. write better public facing methods if you want better Encapsulation.

Inheritance is really just about writing better namespace and domain / contexts of your code.

Polymorphism is really only ever an "issue" I've seen when dealing with strong typed langs and all the langs where it has become an issue they provide interfaces to aid in Polymorphism.

I don't think anything about what was listed is #1 exclusive to OOP and 2 doest not already have best practices to address in OOP and other langs.

Everything that was written about was not about the problems they solved but the patterns used to address the problems. I think that makes it too subjective to be constructive.

A company generally only has one CEO. There are hundreds, in some cases thousands, of employees with the same job function and salary grade at MS. The problem comes when those people start comparing their salaries to each other, not to other companies.

> OOP is nice when it is used concisely and when objects correspond 1:1 to real things.

These sorts of objects provide a nice API, but they don't contribute to good internal designs. I have seen many systems were there is an attempt to map objects to physical things (like on a modem, you might have a "demux" object). Invariably, software ends up having to bend to the design of the hardware, and you end up with very leaky abstractions. Why have a "demux" object, when all you are trying to do is write some registers depending on user configuration? Why not design your software around what it is actually doing, rather than what the system's overall purpose is?

Interfaces are a different question. High level interfaces that reflect what the system actually does are very useful. I think this is born out in some modern OOP-ish languages like Go or Rust where interfaces are everywhere, but full scale OOP is mostly absent.
If you have severe head trauma can you even consent to anything? As in, if you were completely unconscious when they found you, and they took you to that hospital, would you be on the hook for the bill even though you never agreed to be taken there?
It seems a bit extreme (and, frankly, dangerous) to give every idiot on Twitter access to salary information on every W-2 employee at every public company. Especially in our current culture of online discourse and with our current norms (or lack thereof) about the line between professional and personal lives and views.
The people promoting these courtesy cards have absolutely no problem with speeding and jaywalking being crimes, and in fact are proponents of police discretion to e.g. constantly pull black people over and give them tickets for made up infractions just for the fun of it. It isn’t the “friends and family” of the police who want to end

You have diametrically misunderstood the point of the “3 felonies a day” book/argument, and you are shoehorning it in here to confidently promote your pet theory, without evidence.
Is it me or is the title misleading? I thought there was some sort of internal spreadsheet (ie. made by the accounting department or HR) with everyone's salary that got stolen/leaked, but really this is just survey data.

The answer to this question is almost always: "the stack you're most comfortable with".

In your case, given that you have (apparently) a strong Python background, you should try to see how far you can go with Django and some vanilla js. If your front-end doesn't absolutely have to be a SPA, you'll be up and running and productive much more quickly with a fairly simple (server-side logic and page generation) and user-friendly (Django) stack. No need to jump into node, npm, etc.

If you want or need to get more fancy with the front-end, vue.js is relatively easy to pick-up, fairly future-proof (as another poster pointed out, vue and React are the two main choices), and can be included fractionally in your existing pages without a complete overhaul.
The real lesson of the Nazis should have been that secret police forces inevitably lead to corruption, even when they’re made with the best intentions. The #1 best method of preventing the Holocaust would have been better government oversight and transparency.

I’m fine with record collection if it works. The secret courts enabling these secret agencies only help hide bad actors and must be abolished.

> I agree, but at the same time the alternative is zero tolerance.

I think it’s unfair to use term zero tolerance to describe equal enforcement. Zero tolerance is a specific sentencing pattern which uses harsh punishments for crimes. Equal enforcement is about making sure all groups have the same relationship with the law. If the laws on the books are overly harsh once enforced than we should change those laws.
Employer provided insurance should be outlawed, and everyone should be forced to go to healthcare.gov. Then there would be enough lived on the marketplace for competing insurance to stay in business and the more competing insurers there are, the more pressure there will be to keep premiums lower.
You can find most of this online. For software engineers(managers) and Product/Program Managers you start at 59 and go up to 67. At 68 you are a partner and there are very few IC from this level on. At level 70 you are EVP level. At 70+ you are CVP. Support starts at 56 and can go up to at least 61-62. I don't know about the other disciplines.
Most people think of presidential pardons, but there are also pardons from governors that happen regularly as well, though not as public given their smaller stage.
Microsoft is known for paying lower than FAANG, and most employees are in a significantly lower cost-of-living area (specifically, much lower cost of home ownership) than Facebook/Google/Apple/Netflix/etc. employees.

Also, I wonder if employees who feel they’re being paid well would have anything to gain by filling this out. So there may be sampling bias.
Good points. There's also the minority notion that you can use OOP where it design-wise makes sense, and procedural/functional/whatever where that makes sense. Of course, if code becomes too esoteric, you risk making a special snowflake noone else is willing to look at.. So probably kind of explains why people take an all-or-nothing approach is most general cases.

My point then is to fully utilize OOP where applicable, to gain the advantages of orthogonal design. This special effort in design may take many attempts to get right, in order to provide more flexibility and power than in initial iterations.

Require malpractice insurance for police; require that they pay it themselves, not as part of a union or from their civilian employer. Require insurance companies to set prices solely by service record of the individual and of the unit and of the city/county/state employer.

Commit a felony, lose your insurance coverage, be unemployable. Happens to doctors; why shouldn't it happen to police?

What is "unexpected mass"?

Tumor/growth/lump/etc.
Thing is this doesn’t merely exist as these cards. It is extremely easy to get out of police incidents with social skills and high-quality ability to manipulate people. Because people are fallible. So there will always be differential applications of justice because justice is a game, just like every other social system.

And automated policing can be played too, just in slightly different ways.

So when people are shocked by this or talk about how this must be fixed in one way or another that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how complex reality works and how systems are implemented. And wishful thinking.

Instead it is much more interesting to understand how things work and to embrace them. And if someone refuses to accept reality, it will be to their detriment.

In the book 'Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins' by Annie Jacobsen, she mentions this effect when the US Army stood up the secretive 10th Special Forces after WWII.

Employers don’t get lower health insurance premiums because they are big enough to negotiate. They might get them if they happen to employ healthier people than average and if the employees are on the younger side, hence experience lower healthcare costs.

I can't comment on the valuation but generalized AI (or the belief that it could exist) has some quasi-religious aspects. There are those who think it's inevitable and that some company or companies will actually come up with a general AI (in other words, an intelligence that could, on its own, apply one set of experiences to a different and unrelated field). Personally, I don't this is possible and I wouldn't bet on anyone who says it is.

There's definitely a lot more land to build housing on in the PNW, despite also having some of the geographic constraints that the Bay does, although it hasn't exactly kept housing costs in check.

Maybe "a bit" of a libertarian flair, but also in many ways the urban areas are arguably MORE progressive than the "old conservative NIMBY liberals" in the bay.
Anyone who thinks we don't need health insurance for everyone doesn't understand how insurance works and/or has never been in a compromising health situation. The more people have health insurance, the cheaper it gets. Taking away the incentive to profit for healthcare sounds good to me, too. I truly don't understand arguments against healthcare for all, because there's no financial argument against it that makes sense, unless you one of those that profits from people been somehow unhealthy. But politics isn't about being rational, it's about power & influence & control, and that makes me sad.
I don't know why people always jump to "collective action" as the answer to anything related to compensation.

How many people have heard about this surprising turn of events in the Yushchenko poisoning case?

"University professor Lothar Wicke lost his job as clinical director at the Rudolfinerhaus Clinic amid controversy over claims which emerged during the Ukrainian election campaign that opposition candidate Victor Yushchenko had been poisoned. Wicke clashed with management over the clinic’s involvement in the media campaign about Yushchenko’s condition, which, according to Wicke, was billed as poisoning even before it had been diagnosed." - https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS014067360...
