Not an expert in legal field but from my understanding, the US law firms moving to London was akin to a wake up call for the local firms that were very comfy.I think the US firms that tend to focus on high end services, whenever they open a shop abroad, the salaries tend to be higher. I'm already seeing this in my home country,where some firms pay 2-3 times the going local rate and the local firms would never ever pay that much.
>> Failure to cite relevant research is a reason to reject a paper from a conference but that's not the job of an internal review.

The done thing is generally for the reviewers to suggest additional references to improve the paper. If any mention of related work is entirely missing, then that's another matter, but a reviewer thinking that the authors should cite a particular piece of work (e.g. the reviewer's own paper) is not normally something that could lead to outright rejection.

> Yeah John Gruber has really become a shill over the last few years

I remember reading sentiments to that effect since 2004. I doubt he's getting paid directly, so he could only be a shill in a very loose sense of the word. He does get paid in review units and access, though.

I think he's maybe overly enthusiastic about the good stuff, and skews toward the positive when matters are questionable but he has called out Apple's corporate malfeasance and pointed out technical shortcomings in the past. He's biased but that's a one man blog for a specific audience.

It is a $25 billion market that has grown over most of the last decade. Expected to continue growing at a fast pace, with all major central banks looking to release their own version for their respective monetary unions.

They are digital assets that are convertible one for one to fiat currencies or assets held by a custodian's account with a bank or brokerage. Not all are convertible and they maintain their stable exchange rate by other means.

They primarily use blockchains like Ethereum for their settlement layer, while keeping their fixed exchange rate, so therefore they inherit all the technology to leap frog the legacy financial system and service people marginalized from that system.
I don't claim this is a complete answer but contrast broadcast and streaming.

BROADCAST: Pay for pilots. Pick up some of them. You know a good chunk of shows won't make it past S1. Some won't make it that far. But, especially pre-reality show, you still have a schedule to fill with scripted TV. So you throw a bunch of mostly economical stuff at the wall and see what sticks. The stuff that does, you pick up and groom it.

STREAMING: Same deal with pilots. But now your main objective is to find that hit which will net you a bunch of new subscribers. Yeah, you need filler too but that's not as big a deal. So you're probably incentivized to do more swinging at the fences. And you probably don't care about having as many slow burn series because it's all about how many new subscribers you can sign on and, especially with serialized TV (which streaming/internet has also helped enable), if you don't grab people up-front, it's probably a waste.

> I think the approaches based on invertible bloom filters are generally more efficient.

More computationally efficient for sure, but their communications efficiency is only good asymptotically.

For "small" cases such as where the set difference has a few hundred or thousand entries and especially where the set members are small (e.g. <=64-bit hashes) there is a pretty large constant factor needed to get a low failure rate from invertible bloom filters.

E.g. for a set difference of size 128 we measured that you need 32x communications overhead to get a 1 in 10,000 failure rate. 8x overhead for 2048 items. The issue is that iblt decodability depends on the non-existence of cycles in a random graph and this only holds for sufficiently large graphs.

For applications (such as Bitcoin transaction relay or -- I think -- SCM commits) which frequently synchronize a small number of items these communications overheads take that approach entirely out of the running. Fortunately, at these sizes the quadratic computation of communications efficient approaches is not a big deal.

Interestingly, it is completely unambiguous that IBLT and dense code based reconciliation can be combined (sort of the dual to Raptor codes, which combine sparse fountain codes and dense RS-like codes for block erasure recovery)-- but it's an open question if the combination can capture the advantages of both approaches (linear time decode and concrete communications efficiency (as opposed to asymptotic)) for set reconciliation as is the case for block erasure codes.

I think you're discounting the in-season requirements that the networks had. They would usually require on the order of 23 episodes for a season, and sell advertiser time during those episodes months in advance. Hence the prevalence of "clip shows": we promised the network x episodes, we only really have been able to make x-1 full episodes, so let's create an episode that is mostly clips from other episodes.

It's worth noting that the Department of Transportation final ruling devotes a section to economic impact [1], and estimates a ~$55M increase in fees paid by passengers traveling with ESAs to airlines.

> The current policy amounts to a price restriction which requires that airlines forgo a potential revenue source, as airlines are currently prohibited from charging a pet fee for transporting emotional support animals

> Removing the current requirement that carriers must transport emotional support animals free of charge will allow market forces (i.e., carriers as producers and passengers as consumers) to set the price for air transportation of emotional support animals as pets. This provision will allow carriers to charge passengers traveling with emotional support animals (dogs and other accepted species on board of an aircraft) with pet transportation fees. This represents a transfer of surplus from passengers to airlines, and does not have implications for the net benefits calculation of the final rule."

>This is true, but becoming less and less true. Today there are all sorts of jobs that used to provide a living wage, that don't anymore. With no college and limited training, you could hire on at an assembly plant and make enough to support yourself. These types of jobs are getting scarcer and scarcer.

raising minimum wage makes this worse, not better. even more jobs will be automated by technology removing even more unskilled labor jobs

>This is a really hard aspect to design for. I agree that we can't require that all jobs pay enough to support a single earner's ability to rent an apartment, feed themselves, pay for a car, auto insurance, healthcare, etc. If that were the case, I would never have found work in my teens and early 20s.

yup

>I could not agree more. The labor market become so much freer when these things are taken out of the employment equation. My employer should not be anywhere near my healthcare. The way we allowed ourselves to tie those 2 things together is one of the greatest drags on our economy, and for labor mobility and opportunity. If we had a UBI along with healthcare, I could see minimum wage being thrown out altogether. Employers would offer what the job is worth, and workers would work for what they value their own time at.

yup. absolutely.
> Privilege is invisible to those who have it

This is tricky, because in theory it can apply both ways, but in practice people who accuse others of having invisible privileges will deny having their own.

It's like having your cake and eating it too. "You are so privileged!" "No, I am not." "Yes you are, but you can't see it, precisely because you are privileged." "Well, you are privileged too, in a different way." "No, I am not." "How could you know, if the privilege is invisible to those who have it?" "Well, I just know for fact that you are privileged and I am not. And my friends agree with me. Unlike your friends, who agree with you, because they are as wrong as you are."
Very true. It's alarmingly easy to overheat a nonstick pan.
This is not the case. The vast majority of interracial violence is African on European. People will also say "what about slavery" being completely ignorant of history, which includes millions of White Europeans being kidnapped and raped and worked to death in Africa by the Barbary slave trade. There are no White descendants of the White slaves that were brought to Africa -- largely because it was the policy of many of these places to kill even the children that were borne of rape to these slaves.

We need a principled stand against racially incendiary rhetoric or none at all. Either the basis needs to be the First Amendment, in which none of it should be policed, or it needs to be evenly applied regardless of race, and people who post hate about Whites need to be banned from social media instead of verified and glorified.
> an unprecedented moment in the history of cinema.

I really disagree with calling it cinema. It's on the big screen and it's entertaining, in the same way a boxing or football match would be. People would cheer and enjoy those too. But is it cinema? I don't think so, I would say that it's a completely different form of visual entertainment that just so happens to share the medium and venue.

> Is the union going to argue for your personal individual salary?

Probably not. But they might be able to prevent the company from suddenly reducing everybody's equity compensation by 20% or whatever. A huge amount of compensation at large tech companies is completely discretionary. Nothing prevents large tech companies from eliminating huge swathes of bonus and equity pay, other than people leaving the company. A union can make it so you have other recourse.

The anonymity of the reviewers might be somewhat detrimental, but it might not.

I think the process being opaque is more detrimental, because there's no way for anyone outside of the process to know it happens. If it wasn't opaque, then everyone could see when it happens.

Not being able to engage in a debate about the merits of something is also sketchy. It seems like an order being dressed-up as peer feedback.
I'm not sure it is required that we become able to predict the future perfectly. Some technical patterns for some asset classes in some situations (such as belonging to a strong industry group) do, in fact, give an advantage. Here's an example:

If a securities chart has been trending downward and the price is below its 50-period moving average (50PMA), the price action cannot change to a rapid and significant upturn without crossing above the 50PMA . Although this does not mean that all crosses above the 50PMA will result in rapid and significant gains, a system such as this could be used to test whether such a strategy provides enough of an advantage over time. It can also be used to test one's reflexes to make the trade at the proper time. AND also used to test one's reflexes to get out of the trade if it does not continue moving in the anticipated direction.

Companies have the ability to make this option accessible or obscure, given the anecdote it sounds a lot like google was going out of their way to make it obscure and I'd suspect it was done for dishonest reasons.

I think it's fine to choose to use a personal device, but employee education around personal devices is very poor - no one sits you down and goes through your rights as a worker and companies benefit by keeping those rights obscure.

You can accept the risk if it's worth it for you and that's fine - but a lot of people aren't aware of the risks and their employer certainly won't tell them.

> John Gruber has really become a shill over the last few years.

I think it's important to read Gruber and understand he's an Apple person. Not a shill, as much as his world is all Apple. Sure, he checks out an Android phone every couple of years, but for the most part he doesn't care what's going on outside the Apple ecosystem. And, that's fine. As a reader of Gruber, I read for his takes about Apple.
I have to say this doesn't make a lot of sense at first glance.

1) some people are underserved by traditional banks

2) as a result, they might turn to stablecoin issuers and potentially be exploited

3) therefore we must restrict stablecoins so they can only be issued by traditional banks

seems like a lot of work just to go back to step 1).
