I pulled the trigger on remote years ago and took a about a 5% salary cut. The state I moved to has an income tax. However after adjusting for lower income tax, cost of living [0], and my RSU's being unaffected, I ended up slightly ahead.

After a couple years, the company did start adjusting RSU refreshes to reduce grants to people outside of top cities. Even with that though, I'm still breaking even or ahead.

Just another voice saying that you need to do the math and think about your company's policies. You can only account for changing policies so much.

I got in at a time when the deal was very good. Today, my salary reduction would be much higher (2-3x the reduction) and all other comp has caught up to being location adjusted. But, the deal at my company can still be good as long as you check the math.

Another gotcha to watch out for is benefits. Make sure the company health care plan(s) have doctors in-network where you are moving. Since health care networks are very regional, this is not always the case. I had to switch plans.

Also, you won't be able to use a lot of the other tech company perks that people don't price in a lot: free food/snacks/drinks, gym, spa, health center, daycare, etc. Though some company's will give you money to get a gym membership, but probably not the other things.

[0] The cost of living savings mostly came from housing. But nearly everything local (grocery's, restaurants, gas, etc) is 30% to 50% cheaper where I'm at, which adds up quick too.
If the money required "to design real (general purpose) multicore processors that deliver orders of magnitude better performance than what we have today" is in low millions of dollars and technical challenge isn't too daunting, why haven't VCs invested in such ventures?
I still have 1 or 2 unused Office 97 licenses, and lots for NT 4, from one of those Action Packs. A Visual J++ cd-rom too.

A long time ago I used to auto gen http and smtp servers and message queues (similar to RabbitMQ) from very compact descriptions. My in-house I infrastructure build-out productivity went up ~30x, but all the downstream teams hated it.
I don’t see how the printing press could have triggered the invention of eye glasses, eye glasses being over a century older (ignoring any Chinese printing press, as I don’t see how Chinese books triggered Italians to invent reading glasses)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasses#Invention: “The first eyeglasses were made in Northern Italy, most likely in Pisa, by about 1290 […] By 1301, there were guild regulations in Venice governing the sale of eyeglasses”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press: “In Germany, around 1440, goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press“

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescope#History: “The earliest existing record of a telescope was a 1608 patent submitted to the government in the Netherlands”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_microscope#History: “Compound microscopes first appeared in Europe around 1620 including one demonstrated by Cornelis Drebbel in London (around 1621) and one exhibited in Rome in 1624”

On telescopes and microscopes, you probably have the order right, but I would call it a close tie.

Also, if eye glasses triggered the invention of the telescope, why did that take over three centuries?
I believe this is a winning comment
I agree, some kind of analysis on the results would have been more interesting.
You should also try to groc Unity's animation controller. It's a state machine with non-discrete transitions (primarily for animation blending). Neat stuff.
There's a place like that in Germany. The most average place is actually a rather strange place. It is known as "the biggest village of Germany" (it never got promoted to a town despite having 10k residents) and it bears the somewhat ugly name "Haßloch", meaning roughly "hate hole". As you might imagine, the name is a corruption of an earlier name a long time ago.

I knew a guy there whose parents, sure enough, were giving data to several market research companies.

DoorDash and Postmates would deliver from every restaurant, whether or not they had a relationship with that restaurant. This helped them grow quickly. A DoorDash competitor that started today would not be able to grow that way because it is now illegal to deliver from a restaurant without the restaurant’s consent. DoorDash is already large and has a well known brand, so this doesn’t hurt them. It does hurt future competitors, for whom the cost of developing a relationship with every restaurant is cost prohibitive.
Debian on less RAM would be difficult, I guess ?
Yes, but I would guess that at the volumes these pipes will be pushing, the abrasive qualities of a high salt concentrate makes such soft piping material susceptible to being eaten through rather quickly.
I do this as well. It's the best signal to noise ratio. Developers spend much more time reading code and understanding the system rather than writing code, yet interview questions don't acknowledge this.

It also works even if the person doesn't know the language because you'll get to see them mapping this new language to something they already know and it can give a good understanding of how well they think of things beyond just the code in front of them.
I'm not very familiar with Roblox, but if I understand it, it's an online platform that allows others to build games on top of it, and like Farmville the servers are exclusively provided by Roblox.

In this case, I would say the moral fault lies mainly in Roblox, since they are the ones providing the platform and hence making the decision to exclusively provide the servers (and that moral fault has not yet happened, it would only happen if when they shut down they don't provide an alternative).

If you are someone building on top of Roblox, I don't think you deserve the same amount of fault, but it's certainly something you have to consider. It's also a risk in that building on top of this design leaves you open to being de-platformed (like, for example with the iOS Store if Apple doesn't like your application).

For what it's worth, I don't think Roblox or Zynga are immoral because of this, just that on this particular topic they are morally faulty.

My bar for what should be acceptable as a recourse is also not very high. Providing any form of alternative like LAN play, closed-source server software, specifications or interoperability with other software would be enough for me. The problem I see with the current situation is the "last resort recourse" there is now in most cases, reverse engineering, is legally shaky, generally against the terms of service, terribly complicated and expensive and not guaranteed to succeed if critical parts of the application are server-side.
1-2€/hour is my limit for "good value game" too. If I buy a $60 game, I expect at least 30 hours of fun, preferably 60.

Similar with mobile games, when I notice I'm spending a hour a day in a mobile game for weeks in and out, It's OK to spend 10€ on the gem package to make the game more fun.
I never had any problems with emacs on my low end 90Mhz Pentium with 8MB of RAM, as long as I stuck to -nox.
Printing money results in inflation of at least one asset. Equities eat up trillions of dollars of free money, and real estate hasn’t done too poorly either.

Also, it turns out when you close casinos and give millions of Americans a couple thousand dollars while they are bored, you might end up with a lot of extra trading on the side.
Plenty of vendors sell DRM-free ebooks in widely-supported formats (PDF, ePub); most, IME, publishers that sell directly do, it's the separate big stores that tend to have DRM-infested content.

Actually, many of publishers selling directly not only sell DRM free, but you get a variety of formats when you purchase, rather than purchasing separately by format.

Probably true. The book "The art of the deal" was ghostwritten. Here's a nice article about the ghostwriter (and how it haunts him): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/04/donald-trump...
Yeah, I wanted to read it more carefully but it seemed to be a long litany of real or perceived psychological abuse. Maybe I too missed a smoking gun.

What I read described an Apple that is completely alien to me. I have never seen or even heard of anything even remotely like this team or the behavior described.
> If my date of birth is on my cv do you expect a birth certificate to validate that information too?

US hiring practices expect to see something that validates your birthdate, so kind of.

Fast firing can work, but none of the places I've worked were prepared to do it. Similar to what a sibling commenter posted, years of experience is something, but what you got out of it is another. There are plenty of people who have spent a lot of time doing something and not gotten much experience. In my mind, a good interview process figures out where the candidate actually is with regards to experience and capability, if they fit with the company, if the company fits with them, with as minimal a time commitment for both sides as possible.

It's not great for either party if someone is hired and fired in a month.
I think I just realized while Apple doesn't allow side loading apps. Because if you could side load apps, then Chinese citizens

You think that's the reason, since 2007 (and every year after) when Apple also didn't allow sideloading apps? It seems a little fanciful, at best.

>Wood burners have become increasingly popular in recent years [...] Almost 16% of people in the south-east of England use wood fuel, and 18% in Northern Ireland, according to 2016 government data, and about 175,000 wood burners are sold annually.

If you're wondering why they're so popular, it's because wood counts as "renewable fuel", so it helps EU countries meet their renewable energy targets.

I just got my first paper accepted, after 8 months and 2 round of r&r (please clap): the reviewers and editors try very very hard to kill any joy, ambition and big idea. papers should be written with a lot of accademic mannerism. The goal should be to make the paper clear, but it's not true. It just a style to decide if you are part of the clan or not.
This truism is known to ASML as well, and they are ramping R&D spending to maintain or expand their lead. [0]

What you say! CCP very good Government.
Yep, it's a bit precious, annoying too for us people who work for a FAANG but not at the Bay Area HQ. Our salaries have already been adjusted for local conditions for years. If you transfer from, say, Google Mountain View out to Pittsburgh or Waterloo your compensation will be adjusted accordingly, including your RSUs. None of this is new or novel so it's weird to see people complain.

In all likelihood these companies will continue to compensate generously relative to everyone else. It's their MO.

It's pretty hard to complain as I watch working class people around me struggle to get by, or get sick working in "essential" industries. Friend of mine got COVID (likely) from work, carpenter at a petroleum plant. Mid 50s, but very healthy and fit, no health issues. Had to be rushed to hospital to get oxygen, was on his ass for weeks. Luckily a unionized job, but others not nearly as lucky.

Personally I can't wait to be able to go back into the office, at least a couple days a week. Nice that my chronic back pain has improved a lot since I haven't been driving my commute daily though.
But on the other hand, with a severe replication crisis in science (https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/21504366/science-replicat...), isn't it a good thing that we have a bunch of boring papers that are close to stuff that's already happened? It's not people replicating others' findings exactly, but it at least gives points of comparison that can help to weed out some of the problematic work out there.
How do you plan to do it? Do you know anyone who has done it? I have mainly done Python work till now and I am not sure if people like me can make the switch :/
I have a neighbor who burns wood every day, and I bought an air quality monitor to see what the impact is on our air.

The AQI hits 150 when it’s burning, which is really unhealthy. I was surprised it was this bad, especially since he’s not that close of a neighbor (on a different street even).
That still doesn’t sound like claims of expertise. Worse, it doesn’t even sound original. I suspect they were parroting nonsense they heard from somewhere else. Sure, when called out that sounds stupid too, but it isn’t quite the same thing.

An engineer on my team years ago felt the same as you and built his own solution for us to use during interview, eventually spinning it into a very successful business. Check out coderpad.io if you wanna get some inspiration. They took a similar technical approach as you described, at least for the first versions.

Unlike others, I actually find this story fairly believable.

When I first joined Apple, straight out of college - a good program, top three in the country - I was abused similarly. I joined a team that was on a project behind schedule.

Our manager was a brusque, no-nonsense sort of dude. But he clearly had anger problems. On the team were 2 senior engineers, me, and a junior engineer that had just completed his internship and was on a work Visa.

As the project got closer to the deadline, and the scope increased, the manager got agitated. In our team meetings, he would start yelling at us. People down the hallways would stare at us with those "looks." In our 1:1s he told us we might not have a job if our product doesn't ship on time (we were competing with another internal team to beat them to the punch.)

The two senior engineers decided they'd had enough and quit the team. The manager told us to work overtime (no overtime pay, but we had to for fear of our job). He promised us that if we did it that we would get a month of vacation on him, and that he could secure it for us.

The product released. After countless nights of overtime we did it. Our manager left, our guarantee of a month of vacation evaporated, and for the next three months, us two junior engineers were left on 24/7 primary/secondary on-call for a critical service. It was a nightmare. Calls at 3 AM, 6 AM, on weekends.

Our manager got a promotion and is fairly high up at Apple now.

Horrible experience. I left for a new company that pays me nearly double.
I don't get why you are so upset us has more it companies than eu.
Us and eu are friends and their good stuff you can use without wasting 140 billions. The r&d are very costly and by not doing it all this centuries eu saved gazillion of money.
This sounds like an absolutely terrible experience. I hope that a decent writer or journalist takes this story on board and digs a bit deeper. Companies’ internal behaviour should absolutely be of public interest.
Clunkers. The early MTB pioneers were racing them downhill in SoCal during the mid 70s. The bikes had coaster brakes which failed often with that kind if usage. Then they invented the MTB and everything changed.

Electra still makes them but they're quite heavy and too expensive. One could buy a much more useful urban IGH or 1x derailleur bike for the same amount. Like a Kona Dew.

You're right, it's partially that and partially the fact that you need two doses and potentially 2 weeks or more after the second dose to hit that 95% effectiveness. I was more responding to the idea that "maybe the vaccine isn't effective at all" which it seemed like the poster above might have been hinting at. Which doesn't make a lot of sense, because the article they linked pretty clearly lays out the rationale.
that's not possible. At least not possible on a large scale.

there are strict regulations (AKS and Stark) governing hospital <> Provider pay payments.

Any pay in excess of medical services FMV will be toxic to pay out and could land both hospitals and providers in big trouble.
This is a reasonable and well-explained argument, which I’ve heard many times before: the incentives are currently producing a large quantity of mediocre research, rather than groundbreaking science.

So let me ask the research community on HN something I see discussed less often. What alternative incentives exist today, or could be created, that would push more scientists to try higher risk / higher reward research?
Well, that's the basis of their article. They're trying to tell you an "inside story", that's the hook of the whole thing.
> How about trusting candidates' experience?

The reason this philosophy is misguided is not that candidates flat out lie all the time (though that happens too), but more that resumes are crafted to inflate, exaggerate and obfuscate to make the candidate seem more qualified than they might actually be for the position upon closer scrutiny. I say I have 20 years of experience in X, but 4 of those years were just hobby projects in high school, 4 studying in university, another 5 in entry-level positions in a semi-related industry, etc etc. It would be a huge waste of time in obviously unnecessary hirings+firings to blindly trust stated experience on a resume without verifying its accuracy first.
It seems, if we did reduce global wind speeds with all the new friction of turbines, their would be less transfer of air between poles and tropical areas. Thus, the northland wouldn't warm as much as it currently is. Then a cooler Arctic would mean more driving force for winds. A negative feedback loop.
An aside, but it would be nice if the tech industry could move beyond three-character extensions. There's zero reason this couldn't be security.text.

It's been at least 35 years since I first saw a non-three-character file name extension (Amiga 1000), there are probably older examples. Computers are supposed to work for people, not the other way around.
If I had to do interviews I'd do this and something complementary to this: bring a piece of code you're especially proud of. What problem were you trying to solve? How did you try to solve it? What options did you discard? Why did you discard those options? What resources did you use? How do these concepts/solutions relate to the CS theory you learned in school/your own?
Yup you are right. He got in right at the start.

Metals have very high heat transfer coefficients.

In cold weather, the heat that usually conducts from your head to warm a plastic interior is instead being instantly transmitted to the environment.

With a cold spot right next to your head, it acts as a condensation point for a water that is always being emitted from the human body. (A fun experiment you can do in dry cold weather is hold up a warm finger to a window and watch condensation immediately appear even at a distance.)

The design is especially prone to this failure mode in the dead of winter when you have the highest temperature gradients.

Because these aren’t waterproof, I doubt they did much testing outside where you would experience such large deltas in temperature.
It's just about the feedback loop. People were addicted to games long before micro-transactions.

Tetris has sucked countless hours out of peoples' lives. Hell, I even almost lost a job because of Civilization 3. I'm completely unable to play "one more turn" style games in moderation.

Mobile games are optimised so that players like to spend time playing the game, and have the option of exchanging money for time in-game. You can either grind (use time) or spend money (use less time).

If people enjoy the game and want to spend money to get ahead, they have the option. No one is forcing payments, it usually goes badly for the game.

Right. My point was, digital filters won't sound good with those constraints, so people weren't using them yet.

Not to overshadow the main idea. The DX7 was a heck of a milestone.
Honestly, I want to believe anything we get out of companies and people's experiences, but this really feels... off. Maybe it's the writing, but it _feels_ like an Apple hater who never worked at the company wrote a false exposé just for the sake of it.
The rational response worldwide to this new varient is (1) to review all vaccine candidates and approve all that have a net expected efficacy and (2) target vaccinating >1% of the population per day, immediately. Israel is the only country really doing this right now.
