Sorry, you're right, I should have googled. Those methodologies don't strike me as particularly insightful- in the end what they try to do is to give some structure to the guts feelings of the (however chosen) reviewers.

Anyway, to go back to the original point, Ad Fontes puts the Guardian solidly in the left (22% to the left). Looking at a sample of rated articles, only 2 out of 25 are classified as imperceptibly to the right, while a few get close to the "hyper-partisan left" field.

Looking at specific ratings, an article titled "Scandal! Horror! Biden's press-briefing notes prompt rightwing outrage" (featuring a mocking tone and a clear indication of the "enemy" right in the headline) is given a -9 bias, the same rating of the newspaper as a whole. And "skews to the left" feels like an understatement.

(Ah, looking at the media bias chart, turns out that the New York Post (whose articles are sometimes censored by Facebook) would be less biased that the Guardian. Interesting.)

There’s no way you can argue this in good faith. In what world are “IRS nerds” inventing tax laws out of thin air? They’re codifying what lobbyists and politicians want them to.
In Norway it is possible to buy and sell houses without involving any real estate agents.

Here is a page in Norwegian with a checklist for selling a house in Norway without a real estate agent: https://www.forbrukerradet.no/forside/bolig/kjop-og-salg-av-...

The page I link to is written by Forbrukerrådet. They are an independent interest organization that helps consumers.
Missing is Verizon's reaction.

On the one hand, Eric Schmidt says the Telcos have overbid in the 5G auction and don't have cash left to roll out new networks without price rise, and on the other hand he pushes price caps. If they go through in NYC why should the rest of the country also not require it? And whats Big Telco's response then?

Just a weird ass character pushing random shit just like he did at Google.
This should be industry standard practice.
> The fact that mining operations still exist today at large scales in China means that at least the government has found a way to profit off of crypto (strategically or economically).

Or government do not really care. If it is officially discouraged/illegal: it also means that officials are happy to take bribes.
Which CEO? Elon Musk? I heard that it was a deliberate strategy. I remembered him saying that he needs to become a celebrity.

Otherwise, I don't know any flamboyant CEO with giant egos.

The biggest issue is that Peloton is resisting fast changes and instant communication to prevent further injuries.
They do not deserve our trust.

And given that Peloton execs clearly know about this issue, they do deserve federal and civil legal action.
Wouldn’t you freak too if your bike was suddenly stripped of pedals “because we found out new users are better without these”? Software products are shared between different users who build their own processes on top of that. No surprise they complain when someone breaks these because “cleaner look” or “better for the community” (what does it even mean?). If you believe in a fresh start, start a new project instead of tricking everyone into something they probably can’t use effectively anymore.
It is a very good point. And the mission points to the future, where the management wants the company moving. It should not describe what it does, but where it is heading.
> the company is not my family and my work is a means to an end

That's fine. I wasn't making some argument that you should work for someone that's like family, just that there's a whole spectrum between "caring about my company stops at shift end" and "my identity is bound up in this place I work".

I think most people would agree that money isn't the only thing most people care about when choosing a job. There's plenty of people here that would balk at writing better missile targeting code, or exploits for a government, or spying software marketed to spouses, or even writing video games that trigger compulsive behavior. For some people, dislike of the work outweighs the fact that they can get paid very well doing it.

FWIW, some of my time in the past was spent working for my brother at his IT company, which also employed our other brother. It's great working with family until it isn't, and when it isn't, it really isn't. I don't recommend working for family most the time, and I don't think people should treat their coworkers as family. I do think people should try to find a job where they enjoy the people they are around and are proud of the work they do, if they can afford to choose a job like that. If you're going to spend close to half your waking hours doing something, I think it's much more fulfilling and better for your mental health to care about more than the amount you're paid if you can afford to.

Since not a whole lot of people have heard of Chuck before this, I highly recommend you watch his lecture at CMU [0]. It's incredibly insightful, full of personal stories from his time at Xerox PARC, under the leadership of Robert Taylor, working with Butler Lampson and so much more about the founding of Adobe and Silicon Valley in general. He really does come across as an incredibly witty and insightful person and his sense of humor is on point as well!

Simple answer: no.
Not a tax break for the employee, since the net effect is still less money. Unless you consider losing your job and having no salary to tax also a tax break.

Bonuses are very rarely negotiated, but they are added by the management. It is very stupid to assume something about bonuses because I've seen it so many times that they can be unpredictable. Negotiate your salary and other perks, if you get bonuses on top of that be happy but don't except that you will get those bonuses in further negotiations.
Wow. Looking to hate on the first thing because they're successful.. confirm your twisted worldview that success is robbery to make your feel better how you haven't made it. Nice try...
The semantic treadmill is tiring. We constantly need to invent new words for the same concepts.

And the most damaging moment in this transition is when original connotations get coupled with later meanings. I.e. "psychopaths do not use empathy" gets equated with "psychopath bad and dangerous".

It's a bit like the argument that if you're not religious, you're amoral, as you have no emotional reason (fear & shame of God) to be moral. Which is obviously not the case.
Debian packages can be signed, so depending on how the signing keys are managed - it might have been much easier to find the underlying problem.
This is partially correct.

Every time a miner exchanges crypto for RMB (like with Alipay or WeChat), China overall benefits a bit. Because Chinese banks (as you correctly stated) are not allowed to hold crypto and exchanges are illegal, what really happens is the crypto gets exchanged for foreign fiat (like USD) where exchanges are legal, which then gets exchanged for RMB, building up foreign reserves.

In the past, a lot of miners were "foreign investors" (likely other Chinese "nationals" rather than citizens) who lived abroad and would keep the exchanged fiat in foreign bank accounts, which _is_ harmful as they pay for electricity with RMB but get to keep USD. In recent years, a lot of local mining outfits are appearing, and because they ultimately need to spend RMB, the government has no problem with turning a blind eye to them.

There have been lots of attempts. Perhaps agents do more than “shuffle some documents around and pretend to be acting in their principal’s interest.” (Certainly the agent we’ve worked with through two sales—one a short-sale—and a purchase has.)

Chernobyl shortened the life of a few thousand people, maybe - the estimate keeps dropping - over a 35 year time period. A few dozen were killed quickly. The rest are estimates of deaths based on increased cancer occurrences.

The reason for making the distinction here, is that while some certainly can be reasonably said to have been killed by Chernobyl, and the 4k number may well be reasonable, that number is an estimate based on possible effects on cancer rates over 35 years that have kept being adjusted down as the early high predicted cancer deaths didn't happen. E.g. there was a spike in childhood leukemia, but the death rate was extremely low. Not all of those projected deaths have even happened yet, and then represent often tiny reduction in the total life expectancy for people exposed 35 years ago and counting.

Notably, given the discussion here, coal does exactly the same thing - it keeps persistently, slowly affecting the life expectancy of everyone, only new particulates released keep being released year after year. And incidentally also includes uranium dust. Yet it's a lot easier to ignore those deaths because there's no single specific event for people to link them to.

The main reason why real-estate agents are a thing is because of logistics.

a) The buyers want to look at multiple properties as quickly as possible;
b) The sellers don't want to or don't have the time to be manage all of the requests for viewings.
c) If there is no viewing opportunity, then the buyer might miss a good property that matches their needs or the seller might miss a buyer.

The real-estate agents have a pool of properties that they manage and they can provide quick access to the properties. They meet the needs of both the buyer and the seller and increase the probability of a transaction.

Of course, if you can find a way to do that without a real-estate agent, you got a breakthrough innovation. However, it's fairly difficult to crack this problem since the transaction inherently tilts towards human interactions. This is why nobody has figured out an effective way to get rid of the real-estate agents yet.

I would hold bonuses as a con, if comparing companies to work for. I might even use it as an excuse to leave a company for another one. Why do you want to work for ACME anymore? Because they offer bonuses and you don't :D

I've gotten to the point in my life that I just require the salary to be enough to support me. There has been nothing but stress, centred around my previous jobs, where bonuses are involved. Mainly that pressure of, you better perform optimally else you will affect our bonuses --mentality.

This creates a toxic work culture IMO. My job is stressful enough. I don't need it more so.

Step 1: sell 10k copies of your book through self-publishing.

Step 0: already be successful at marketing or be well-known.

There are certainly some valid points, but his solution pre-supposes that you already know your marketing.

So the actual steps would be:

* consistently produce good content for several years, build an audience (and an email list, as quaint as it sounds)

* write a book, self-publish it

* promote the out of it

* THEN try to get a publisher on board

I assume the idea is that a technology that, by definition, can only be used publicly faces a far different threat surface than nuclear proliferation.

A significantly powerful actor could exert sufficient force. Russia or the US threatening nuclear war over bitcoin would probably lead to a worldwide ban, although obviously the repercussions would be dramatic. More realistically, the US could state that any bank that does business with bitcoin isn't welcome to participate in the US economy. The US economy is big enough that such a threat might work. This is similar to how the embargoes against Iran worked, and why that Chinese executive is being extradited to the US from Canada.

In reality, if Bitcoin got the point of destabilization where the US felt the need to ban it, the effects would probably be widespread enough that the EU, Japan, the various Commonwealth countries would be convinced to take coordinated action.
Or alternatively just accumulate holiday days the way it works in the rest of the western world!

In the U.K. the rule is you accumulate holiday but all employees MUST take all their holiday before the end of the financial year. Employers must give at least 5.6 weeks of holiday to each employee, however can give more (either as a fixed amount or unlimited amount). There are some rules that let you roll holiday over to the following year in some circumstances to allow a little flexibility, but in general the rule is you have to take them.

Legally employers must ensure that all employees take all of their 5.6 weeks of holiday, so it’s not a “use it or lose it” situation. Employers also cannot pay their staff more to have them work during their holiday, it’s got to be time off (up to 5.6 weeks, any holiday over that point is discretionary).

Because of this, all employers will pressure employees to take their holiday ASAP because if everyone postpones it you will have everyone off in the last few weeks of the financial year.
Sounds like lots of time wasted for coming up with such a complicated scheme, communicating it and everybody thinking through how to maximize their own benefit from it.

Sounds like the articles point. But on steroids.

All it does is keep people from doing actual work and be happy doing so. This is just infighting waiting to happen.
Notice that Consumer Council's page is about selling a house without a real-estate agent. In the US, buyers also have a real-estate agent. In Norwegian and Danish (and presumably Swedish too), they are known as «mekler»/»mægler«, i.e. mediator in English.

In Scandinavia, at least, only sellers hire real-estate agents, buyers at most hire an attorney (which they probably should anyway).

I am personally on the lookout for a house in Denmark, but have not closed (or come close to) a deal yet, since it's not urgent. But my general perspective is that the housing markets in Scandinavia are very different from those in the US.

Surprising to read: 6% and two agents is obscene. In UK it is different, I don't like it but it seems leaner.
A single agent handles everything, hired by the seller, and charges about 1.5% of sale fee + VAT (once haggled down). Expect higher fees on smaller transactions or with 'prime' agents, meaning those with free coffee and gaudy suits.

Find a project to call the justification for a bonus - that way the project is the thing, and there won't be a repeat expectation set up.

(we paid december bonuses on exactly that basis once and then the next year wasn't as good and one of my team thought he'd fucked up to not get a bonus again, so the project oriented thing is way superior even if it's the same money being given to the same people for the same reasons overall)
Yes, good point. One of the key things I'm trying to explore is the effect of automating jobs (through researched technologies which business owners then apply) and how this leads to income disparity. Basic income schemes will also come into play. So automated socialism I guess, haha.

The filesystem is restricted, but network generally not. You can have a malicious container connect to rest of your network. The ports don't need to be open either, it can phone home (like how most bots do).

Certain data centers restrict access to outside network (i.e. Internet), with now popular public cloud. It's actually hard to place such restriction, because majority tooling, including official images are expecting to be connected outside.

In my experience interviewing nobody looks at resumes, code samples, or even open source contributions. Instead they are often manually looking for word cloud nonsense.

They might look at your open source application but only about 30 seconds at the readme only, so include screenshots and maybe they might look at that. They are probably just looking at the number of stars, forks, and any other number not related to the software.

In the case of web development or JavaScript almost every time they will throw a shotgun blast of newb syntax questions at you. Sometimes the questions are general and other times the interviewer is fishing for something of comfort to a personal code style. If they ask for any opinion or open-ended question respond with something critical or unpopular to see how the interviewer reacts. Failure to do so will endanger your ability to do anything creative or challenging.

As a bored and thoroughly under impressed candidate I really wished companies, who claim to be looking for senior developers, asked for the impossible to see what kind of answers they get. By impossible I really mean standard interview questions everywhere else. Examples:

* How do you achieve complete page load in less than a second?

* How do you achieve accessibility AA criteria without ARIA?

* How do you create custom components without a framework?

* Describe a means of broadcasting information to users in real time without polling a server.

* How do you persist/restore state without compromising page load time?

* How would you achieve real time status updates to/from users without negatively impacting usability or accessibility?
