So what is the solution? In the absence of effective enforcement, do we have to resign ourselves? Or can we force the industry and its practices to change?

Per my own anecdata in the US, MDs are a pretty diverse group of people in regards to faith. The 'calling' of being a doctor/healer is strong among many faith based communities in the US. As such, their reasoning for being an MD is not based on science as much as it is on their faith and purpose. The point is to be a doctor/healer, how the knowledge to better do so is generated may be incidental.

Note: Medical researchers are a different bunch, per my own anecdata, I'm talking about practicing MDs specifically here.
I think pomo is responsible, along with a handful of other factors: clickbait journalism, dramatically increased echo chamber of journalists due to social media, and (perhaps most importantly), the changing values of Millenials.

Regarding the latter, it's only when Millenials started moving up the career ladder at these organizations in the early 2010s that we saw the publications really change. And the insider reports from the NYTimes indicate the change in reporting is basically an outcome of generational conflict.

Obviously, many on here are the exception, but in general, younger GenX, Millenials, and Zoomers were all financially screwed over, and they've (perhaps understandably) taken out their rage on society. Why so many have adopted a race-based identitarian outlook, instead of aiming for race-blind equality, I understand much less.
I had a friend in high school who would play mental chess while weight training. He claimed it was good practice for his golf game; I think he was just showing off.
I mean, this can happen with any code by that logic if you're cut and pasting.

I think the real issue is types aren't included in the example. I work in much higher-level languages, but if you are passing strongly typed objects thru and your switch is derived on this typing, it's probably going to be illegal in your type system to return certain results.

If your type system doesn't validate your results, then you'll be prone to the class of error you are discussing. Maybe that's common in C.

Long-term freelancing, or I would call it B2B contract employee, is also the only way to work remotelly for abroad company.

Unfortunatelly EU has no means of cross-border employment yet other than establishing local subsidiary company. It is unlikely to happen if they "employ" a couple of people in various foreign countries. Company setup procedures and employment laws vary by country, salaries may vary by currency. It is just too complex at small scale.

Then the simpler solution is to use intermediary local contractors agency or just directly pay Euro invoices of long term freelancers.

It is legal but e.g. German companies prefer not to keep such contracts longer than 2 years. Why? That is another story...
It’s not just an issue for hobbyist programmers. That’s also an issue for most startups and small companies. You just can’t buy all the documents you need when you’re designing hardware. That stuff is insane. And it’s not just about the cost, it’s also about the time necessary to buy these documents. Creates way too much friction compared to the open model of the IETF, W3C, Unicode Consortium, etc. The ISO and other organisms using paywalls live in the past and are hurting innovation.
They've been doing this for years, but think of it this way - we have no idea what thought crime this poor person committed. But surely, they did. I think the big message here is, don't get too comfortable. You never know when you've done something wrong until you get punished for it.
I think thats what he meant, but I doubt thats actually what happened. While the illegal accounting theme was similar across the industry, each individual case is unique and carry their own evidence. Michelle likely had less she could deny

Bill Gates mentioned pressurized pumped-hydro storage in his book, (which was the first I had heard of it), and it sounds quite promising and something Texas is well-suited for:

> I think Julia should really seek to displace MATLAB as a near term goal .

Have you studied MATLAB and its ecosystem? It ranges from real time control to image recognition to sophisticated engineering-specific toolboxes (RF, 5G, LTE, etc.). They also have proprietary algorithms that do things no Julia package can do. Sure, there is PDE solvers and the ecosystem is growing for Julia, but it is at-least an order of magnitude smaller than MATLAB if not more. I urge you to explore the documentation, APIs and toolbox details on MATLAB: https://www.mathworks.com/products.html

Take a look at the LIDAR toolbox for example: https://www.mathworks.com/products/lidar.html

or LTE: https://www.mathworks.com/products/lte.html

and I've used DSP toolbox the most: https://www.mathworks.com/products/dsp-system.html

I am not condoning use of MATLAB, just stating the facts having used Julia and MATLAB extensively. I personally like Julia language FWIW. At work, we use MATLAB and happily pay for it. Their support is absolutely top-notch and for us it is the reason alone to use MATLAB. Julia has support but not even close to MATLAB's direct line to compiler engineers (yes, I've had them fix a bug and do a release in an afternoon).
I'm probably speaking _way_ out of my league here, but I imagine it's somehow spoofable, kinda like how you can generate fake MACs or IPs, so why not? One terrifying/beautiful element of tech is that where there's a will there's a way!

Unlikely. Far too many people willingly short-circuit all rationality in favor of ineffective, but emotionally-satisfying stances like being "tough on crime".

I’m not optimistic about it, but I do wonder if the experience of living through a pandemic will give folks a fresh perspective on just how rough imprisonment is, and a willingness to consider alternatives. If it’s torture to be stuck in your own home for a year—with your own bed, food, schedule, entertainment, family, and hot water—just imagine how much worse it must be for someone locked up in a cage for decades without even those basic freedoms. If you believe that long prison sentencing is a deterrent, and someone told you that breaking a law would cause you to have to live another year of pandemic life, does that not feel deterrent enough?
Thank you, this is useful information. I'm very tempted to buy one. Saying that, it's not like I'm spoilt for choice in e-ink devices.

Doubtful. Prison reform isn't popular at all amongst voting blocs that matter to politicians and it's a hard sell to the public tuned into a "safety first" and "lock 'em up and throw away the key" attitude.

Generally if more than 20-25% of your revenue comes from one customer, or one segment which you dominate (as with Google) it's a red flag for investors. Google still has the magic pixie dust (and revenue size and margin) to keep investors transfixed.

If the air comes out of the on-line advertising business Google faces an existential challenge (as did the newspapers due to the development of online advertising). They have scraped together less than 15% of revenue from a motley collection of marginal businesses (e.g. Nest) while lack the internal management signals to seriously engage anyone in improving things. For example, I assume that if Dianne Greene left Google Cloud it would simply wither. She has the experience and fortitude to actually make a serious go of it. I seriously doubt there's anyone else in the company who would -- it generally doesn't encourage such people.

An imbalance in revenue has an additional problem for investors, which is blinders. Rockefeller and the other owners of the Standard Oil Trust made significantly more money after the antitrust breakup than they had as a monopoly.

I was 36 when I quit my corporate finance job, took a year off and learned to program, so yes, you can. Tips?

- Make a plan, when are you starting, what do you want to have accomplished in year 1, 2, 3. Commit to it.

- Make a financial plan, I basically lost 65% of my income (ouch), but I knew there were high paying jobs out there. How long can you live on a lower salary or are you good just taking a cut anyway. Do you need to take time off to retrain? What will that cost. For me budgeting that all out really helped.

- Figure out your worst case, for me it was "what if I can't get a job" or "what if I do and after 6 months I hate programming professionally". Can you still get back to your old career, do you want to?

- What skills carry over, do you have some business or commercial experience? Or some background in a field where those skills would help being a programmer?

- Learn your butt off. I've been doing this for 3 years professionally now and I spend most evenings 50/50 coding on pet projects and reading literature/CS books. Its hard but I've managed to make back my lost income and somewhat compensate for the lack of actual programming years. Its also been rough on my social life, but that's the price for me. I figure once I hit the 4/5 year mark I can maybe take a breather. This year though with corona it actually works out fine, nothing better to do anyway.
That's not true at all. Central banks have tried to stoke inflation for close to a decade now without success. The reason behind the current rise is just what the article mentions: "poor weather, increased demand and virus-mangled global supply chains". Or maybe you are confusing the actions by the federal government (stimulus checks) with those of the central banks (QE). The former most likely does have inflationary effects - the latter hasn't had an effect for well over 10 years by now.
This is because media and government (in various computations) use CPI when talking about inflation, so it is natural for them to become used interchangeably.

Since CPI doesn't reflect inflation, it is natural to criticize it for failing at that. Maybe it was never meant to reflect inflation, but that seems about as futile as trying to argue for the proper, original meaning of the term "hacker", not what media made it to be.
Prepare to be shocked. The majority of SWEs employed at Google in the EU (Zurich, Dublin, London) have comp packages over 150k.

Note: 'comp packages'. Their salary won't always be over 150k, but when including stock and bonus, total comp will be. That's many thousands of SWEs.

If you look at advertised salaries, you won't see those numbers, because it won't include bonus/stock as those are considered 'at risk'. But considering that to not get bonus/stock you need to be on a verge of getting fired, it's not exactly a large risk.

Re 600k: It's not that uncommon. In excess of 5% of Big Tech SWEs make that sort of money.
What is PES?
2 things when you read between the line:

1) Numbers are total compensation, the base salary is a LARGE amount below that. Few of the figures are hinting to bonus/shares being 50% of the base, if not more.

That's not to say it's bad but that's something to bear in mind. Some of the quoted companies are worthless because non public, other companies might go either way (Uber is not Facebook/Apple/Microsoft when it comes to stock). You certainly want to see how the shares are allocated, on what schedules, how's the taxation is working (US equity in US dollar can be big pain in Europe). Bonus are for those who believe in them (Uber is not known for having nice and stable management layer).

2) These are staff engineer positions, which are incredibly rare and selective.

- Not sure if Uber Staff is like L6 or L7, either way you're probably not going to achieve that in your lifetime. The later is like the head of a department with 100+ people below them them, basically a whole small company (if you want to talk about individual contributors it's even rarer than that). For the former, we're talking about a person with two decades of experience in tech and probably a chunk in the web industry (better have competing offers from Facebook London or Google Zurich).

That's really the counterpart to the $600k developers from SV/NYC, a very far cry from the average developer, even a far cry from the usual good performer.

edit: Uber only IPO'ed in 2019. The article is talking about offers going as far as 2016. These offers were basically imaginary money. Employees didn't see a penny of it unless they were still in 2020 (after lockup period), and if they were, the realized number was certainly very different than the initial promise (note: Uber went down after IPO).
That’s inspiring, and also depressing, worth a read though. I feel keeping a whole game in your head is a good way to deal being locked up,
I do this too, though I do not find either of the k's particularly tasty.
I mean... that's kind of exactly what underlies my whole comment.
It ought not to click, because it's a deep objection. In the ball example, the wavefunction is a sum of two components: there are two possible measurement outcomes. How do you get three worlds from two states?

Say you have an electron which is either up or down, a 2/3 percent chance to be up. The wavefunction looks like `2/3 * up + 1/3 * down`. In the MWI picture, when you measure the electron, you split into two worlds: how do you get 2/3 probability of "up" from two worlds?

You can say you split into three worlds, two of them identical. But that is not found in the Schrödinger equation (so now you have new postulates, which MWI hoped to avoid), and what if the probability were 1/pi, how many worlds would that be?

To be fair the average "new" house is the US is almost twice as big as the average new house in the Germany.

Also there is a link between weather and energy usage. An average household in Louisiana or California uses way more electricity than New York's average.

Turns out exploiting these issues seems to be easier on Intel. Perhaps since it's so dominant, Intel is where the majority of the research is focused. But perhaps, the huge architectural differences which made Intel more vulnerable to more Spectre variants are responsible. It's clear Intel has been taking many shortcuts with its CPU design in favor of speed and has been for decades.

Ciprofloxacin? It has a black box warning from the FDA. Specifically for tendon issues.

“ Fluoroquinolones, including CIPRO®, are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture in all ages. This risk is further increased in older patients usually over 60 years of age, in patients taking corticosteroid drugs, and in patients with kidney, heart or lung transplants (see WARNINGS).
Fluoroquinolones, including CIPRO, may exacerbate muscle weakness in persons with myasthenia gravis. Avoid CIPRO in patients with known history of myasthenia gravis (see WARNINGS).”

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2013/01...

All the quinolones also associated with lots of internet reports of ill health in a variety of respects, but tendinitis is the official warning.

Actually I see there is an updated warning about central nervous system damage now too. FDA recommends they only be used as a last resort.

Sorry you had that experience. I had Cipro about ten years ago, wasn’t really necessary. Can’t say for sure it did anything but my reaction was intense while on it, and I had much worsened general digestion and overall health after that point.

No it doesn't. It's perfectly fair to be against the lack of uniformity in how prisoners are treated without being against retributive justice. That prisoners' lives should not depend on "the whims of the prison's management" (as another poster put it) is just common sense.
> Tim Sweeney correctly observes this, then continues to talk about "millions of hobbyist programmers". I do not believe that ISO targets, or even has any remote interest, in this market.

I completely disagree. As a hobbyist programmer I want to improve myself so that I can sell my skills to international standards. It's more difficult to do that when standards have to be bought before I can even determine how hard it would be to learn and adapt to it.
The first two were so much better. Focused on the trip, and the experience. You learned so much about these extremely remote places and cultures... The third one just turned into "Long Way To The Next Charger." I didn't like any of the focus being on the crew with the Rivians. They spent so much time focused on building that bus, and then all they did was sleep in it for one night? That really ruined the whole motorcycle trip. Nothing like throwing tons of money at a problem to solve it.
One of the purposes for it was to allow faster and cheaper transactions which it arguably does.

Some legal work product is reasonably fungible, especially at the level of corporate law.

What I think that a lot of management type folks fail to realize, though, is that both the quality of knowledge workers' output and the rate at which they produce it tends to drop precipitously when they are tired. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lawyer who works 35 hour weeks can get more done in a given calendar period than one who works 90 hour weeks. Big name law firms, though, bill by the hour, and, even if they share this conviction, they know that their clients went to business school, and have therefore been trained not to understand it.

>People here imagine this hard-working professional with good intentions to better himself in prison

I'm under no illusion that a lot of people in prison have committed heinous crimes, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be treated like a human being. Their punishment is their loss of freedom. They still have a need for recreation like everyone else, and chess if anything can be a helpful tool in hopefully improving their mental state.

I think the American prison system does very little to improve the chances that these people can become better citizens and psychologically depriving them of stimulation I can only imagine stands in the way of achieving that.
