>I’m defining “high performance” to include those sorts of persons.

My point is that you may be confusing the ability to perform a function efficiently with the ability to perform a function that less people can do.

I don’t think many here would define a VBA/Excel analyst that knows the data model and how to access a bunch of legacy platforms to produce a criterial report each month as high performing - but they’re scarce and difficult to replace.

>It is equitable precisely because those skills are scarce.

My use of the use of equitable was as a synonym for fair.

I don’t think it’s fair that those who work in higher risk or less fulfilling jobs should be paid half as much. There are credible arguments about why it’s justified , but I don’t think there are any tenable arguments that it is fair.
Anecdotally, I disagree. I recently contacted their support when I didn't understand why final ordering prices slightly differed from the listings on Amazon EU websites.

The reply was very on-topic, ridiculously customized and clear for an otherwise complicated topic (reason: VAT is calculated on the shipping location within EU). Almost as if someone with real EU accounting knowledge had taken the time to investigate and reply (which I can't imagine?). And this was from a non-business account. It was easily one of the top-3 customer service experiences I ever had.

“Could be” in this context is more like “hasn’t been conclusively proven impossible”. Unless somebody is taking about human trials it is exploratory and not worth getting anybody’s hopes up unless your hopes involve grant money and publishing papers.
No idea what you’re talking about. There was the run up to the communications decency act and obscenity prosecutions but these were far more risky for the peddlers, not the consumers (and some were prosecuted). There was the old hilarious CP80 initiative by the Mormons (with a nice tie-in to the SCO v Linux debacle) but that never had any serious legs to stand on. Meanwhile discreet billing for naughtiness predates the internet and was especially notable in the days of 900 numbers - assuring discretion was pretty well stated. Considering that child porn was essentially legal and you could walk into adult stores in broad daylight on Times Square not too long ago I think you are misremembering things or probably too young for context.

What changed is the cultural mainstream acceptance.. that something like PornHub can be a mainstream company. The market itself was alive and well pretty much the day after the movie camera left Menlo Park.

Unfortunately the model is wildly unoptimized. You can extract small minizinc inputs by `blaze test //plan:wrapper_test` which tests the model on simple use cases, the temporary files will go to `--test_tmpdir`.

I don't have a big minizinc input on hand. In our database it takes about 2 minutes to plan for a weeks meals. The model is probably wildly inefficient and optimizing it is one thing on the long term bug list.
I think the OP is pointing out that many people think of options as a bet on stock price movement with the probability of success being the probability of the stock moving.

When in fact volatility, time decay and many more factors are really shaping the success probabilities.
When enforced like a code coverage score I agree. If in your day-to-day there's static checking against any/unknown, well, that's effectively saying 'only type-checked code welcome'.

Which is kind of sad and against the origins of TS, which meant to supplement JS without bringing all that uncool into the school.

Sometimes I dig into source of a supposedly JS library and witness the author not just the type-checking, but OOPy interfaces, private/public, and I again feel the itch that this superset is a more refined embrace, extend, and extinguish.

In the case of a general product, spending some FB bucks and creating a landing page doesn’t necessarily validate an idea. Perhaps more importantly it doesn’t invalidate an idea if it doesn’t work.

Consider focusing on just physical products which are just sold on Amazon.
It's always interesting to me how people on HN almost universally have such poor experiences with Amazon. I've had over 200(!!!) orders from Amazon last year alone and didn't have any problems with any order. In fact when my guaranteed next day delivery was late by a day they just gave me a month of prime for free.

And every time I decide to buy directly from the manufacturer I get punished - bought a Lenovo laptop around September, laptop turned up with a broken screen. Took over 3 weeks to get Lenovo UK to replace it and it was an exercise in absolute frustration, I could write a small essay about it. I was so upset at myself for not buying it from Amazon - I know if I did and had the same problem I would literally have a replacement posted to me the following day without having to fill out a dozen forms and spend hours on the phone with customer support.
You are right, I misread the quoted line.

For now, I think you could use a directory picker, but that's not exactly ideal either.

"Improving ventilation" isn't something you just order from the hardware website. You can't just fit a fan to a window to extract air and call it job done job done without studying how that changes internal airflows.

Does it address dead zones? Does it actually make matters worse by creating hot zones which coincide with areas where people concentrate? Does the exhaled air create risks to workers outside?

It requires a lot of study, planning and execution and lots more money than some cleaning supplies.

I understand this. They do not protect others against viruses from you either. My wording that you quoted was misstated on my part, that's the culprit here, but read the next box of masks you see.

And I know the CDC can't be directly blamed for this, but how many people do you know that wear masks because they don't want to get sick? Probably all of them, besides the ones that wear it so they don't get hassled in public. This is the subtle thing in the marketing (yes, marketing, they're not selling anything but it is the same process) encouraging you to wear masks. People might consciously know if you asked them that masks don't protect themselves, but in their lizard brain they're protecting themselves. People jogging alone or driving on their car alone wearing a mask aren't doing it to protect other people. If every advertisement telling people to wear masks explicitly reminded them that it does not protect them, a lot of people wouldn't bother to wear them.
I think you're missing the point (or maybe it's me !). Commons in the article are something that nobody owns, not even the state. It's something that is there, that is used, that is part of the local culture and used in a shared way without any sense of ownership. Saying the state owns the roads is fine, but it still strips from the community the possibility to do whatever with it.

I don't think the article talks about privatisation, but rather talks about ownership, and more importantly, about lack of ownership. In a capitalist world, something owned by noone quickly get a flag planted in it saying "this is mine" by some organisation.

You're confusing two different things.

One is the payment capability of the customer to pay RH when the purchase is settled (T+2).

The other is the relationship and payment capability of RH to the clearing house (DTCC) for its orders that it has placed with other brokers.

RH is required, as a broker, to provide its own collateral to the clearing house so that the clearing house can guarantee to other brokers that all their trades will be settled at T+2.

RH is not allowed by law to use their customers' money as collateral to DTCC. If RH goes broke, then DTCC does the following:

a) takes all their collateral and uses it to make the other brokers good on their trades (which makes the counterparties good on the trade)
b) takes the customers money and uses it to complete the trades (which makes the customers good on their trade).

RH is left to be picked apart.

That's the purpose of the clearinghouse.

> I’d appreciate it if you’d understand that I’m free to negotiate and don’t attempt to take that from me

No-one is trying to do that (at least, not at this stage, and any attempt to do so would be subject to at least a second vote). You are welcome to simply not join the union if you feel it doesn't represent your interests.

> I do think its better to earn your own wage rather than an average of all wages. After all I contribute my own productivity, I don’t contribute some average negotiated productivity.

Leaving aside the fact that is perfectly possible for a union to negotiate performance-based pay and/or bonuses, I would be interested to think what you think a fair productivity:pay ratio would be for a worker in an Amazon fulfillment centre. Currently, I understand employees are held to such high productivity targets as a matter of course that many of them are afraid to take bathroom breaks in case their productivity dips and they end up getting fired.

This seems to be a valid fear - I couldn't find anything for Alabama, but in Baltimore, Amazon fire around 10% of their workforce annually for failing to meet performance targets. I wasn't able to find any documentation of bonuses or higher pay for higher performance, only the 15.30 USD starting wage, but if anyone has evidence that compensation is higher for high performers, I'd be happy to see that.

> Do you share a bank account with them? Why not?

> I haven't seen any evidence that this actually happens to a significant degree, could you link a study on it?

No and I’m not aware of a study that shows this, and although there may be one out there arguing one way or the other I’d be inclined to disregard it because a claim like “ceteris paribus bids on scarce resources drive up the price” isn’t empirically testable because ceteris is never paribus. Whatever study that argues anything of this nature is required to use a theory to interpret data and the theory that “prices are the emergent result of repeated bid-ask transactions between interested parties” is more basic than whatever theory they are going to use in those (hypothetical) studies. I’d be happy to entertain objections to my statement.

> Cause as far as I have read the inflation cause by minimum wage increases is relatively minimal, especially compared the the increase in income.

I’m not arguing that they will always end up with less money. I’m asserting that the increase in wage will all go to consumption goods/services that are provided by profitable businesses owned by “the rich and/or wealthy” and so the minimum wage earners will stay at subsistence level but the people who already own assets will profit.

The relative motion of various prices is the result of many complicated factors and its likely that increased profits for the providers of these goods/services would cause more firms to enter the market and there would be more of these consumption items than before. But the people who own businesses would keep accumulating profit and the people at minimum wage would keep spending their entire paychecks on consumption items.

Product analytics may tell you what is happening, but they won't tell you why it's happening. To your question, I don't really have a good answer.

Concur. As a non-scientist science-aware layperson who has had excellent experiences with UCSF and trusts them very highly, the byline definitely caught my eye. But the headline seemed overstated, so I clicked through to the comments here first, and my suspicions were confirmed.

Analysis available here: https://app.box.com/s/iddfb4ppwkmtjusir2tc/file/759357623956

Relevant conclusion:

"The Committee advises initially prioritising delivery of the first vaccine dose as this is highly likely to have a greater public health impact in the short term and reduce the number of preventable deaths from COVID-19."

I didn’t mean to debate semantics with you and I can see how my language provoked that. My claim is that a scarce, difficult to replace employee deserves more money because of their scarcity and difficulty in being replaced.

> I don’t think it’s fair that those who work in higher risk or less fulfilling jobs should be paid half as much. There are credible arguments about why it’s justified , but I don’t think there are any tenable arguments that it is fair.

I believe its fair. In fact I believe its unfair not to do so. Rather than debate the fairness, I’m more interested in if you think fairness is objective or intersubjective?

> I could gopher topics by early 90's

So you weren't a normal, mainstream, new user to the internet. You knew how to use it, you knew where to go to search.

I was the same in the 90s (minus Gopher skills), I learned about Yahoo, Altavista, Infoseek, etc. and became a wizard to my friends and some relatives because I could find things on the internet, didn't need to know the website address beforehand or click somewhere in AOL.

It did exist, it just wasn't accessible and generally available, nor it was a tool people knew how to use.

So domain names up to the early 2000s were pretty important to capture the mainstream market, not the Gophers.
