For a small company like that I would implement basic profit sharing. Set aside a certain percent of company profits (10-15% is fairly common) and those profits are distributed among the employees.

The way you distribute it among employees can get tricky. If everyone is in a similar position you could split the pot evenly. Otherwise you can implement a points system. Maybe the lower level employees get 1 point each. The manager gets 2 points. At the end of the year the profit pool is distributed per share (so the manager would get twice the bonus of the lower level). This is the easiest way to manage it. You'd want to run some hypothetical numbers first and talk to an accountant, etc. But this is a good way for a small company to manage bonuses.

Don't worry about Netflix. The Netflix strategy is that they are overpaying you to begin with, so bonuses become less important. They also have programs where employees can buy discounted public shares in the company and stuff like that. So it's a whole different ballgame they are playing. Don't even try to compare yourself to them. I am currently in the interview process right now for a position at Amazon and they follow a similar strategy to Netflix. You have public share buying program that allows you to do well with a growing public stock, plus the base salary they are offering is insanely high (higher than it should be honestly). So despite not offering a bonus program, it is still a good deal because they are paying you so much that the bonus doesn't matter.

I worked at a small company of < 10 employees when I was first starting my career and they did a profit sharing program like what I listed above. A certain percent or profits were set aside and split among employees. I was a higher-level position so I got a significant portion of the profit pool. As the company did better the bonuses became VERY SUBSTANTIAL. I was getting under-paid with my salary, but after bonuses it put me in the top 5% for salary ranges for my job title. The owner was happy because he allowed me to be highly paid, without the risk of paying high salaries up front. Granted it wasn't all wonderful. I did hold a grudge that I felt like I had to wait out the bonus each year because if I didn't get the bonus than I was just getting a moderately low salary for my position.

To everyone suggesting that it's the result of statistical bias: Why can we rule out what should be obvious hypotheses, like you are being listened to?

Biases are not successful explanations by default, they are merely alternate hypotheses which require almost no evidence to assert; which is why people take randomness as null or prior.

But it shouldn't be rational to stop investigating alternative hypotheses just because of the possibility of bias - this amounts to not desiring further evidence, being incurious.

One thing that this article only briefly skims over (Turkish lira’s dropping and issues in management at their central bank) are in their own way burying the lede.

Historically (re: recent history of Venezuela, Argentina, Zimbabwe ) crypto assets’ “clunkiness” and functional downside aside- get rapidly adopted when the centrally managed currency loses confidence of the people. This further threatens this “central bank managed currency” via accelerated wealth outflows, in this case of the Lira - and all other reasons mentioned smell like cover to me.

This ban is but a reaction and protective measure to slow down wealth transfer out of the governments reach of regular Turkish citizens. A closer look at the state of the Turkish central bank and drivers of monetary policy would likely also reduce your confidence that they know what they are doing and this is a broadly anti crypto move. As a result, this ban has nothing to do with thought through policy. It’s meant to limit outflows from the Lira as the Turkish economy sadly spins out of control.

> Lawmakers were warned that shuttering Backpage would harm LEO efforts to rescue trafficking victims and they passed SESTA/FOSTA anyway.

I’ll stipulate to that. But it’s a pretty long logical leap to deduce from the fact that they heard a lot of opinions and made a (perhaps incorrect) judgment call that they don’t care about sex trafficking victims.

Also, linking to other news sources and commenting on them isn’t “newsgathering.” That’s just operating a blog. If they perform their own investigations, then my opinion might change.

That's a hotly debated issue that different style guides give different answers to.

Some style guides insist plural all-capital abbreviations should never have an apostrophe ("IDs"), other insist they should ("ID's").

Your personal usage is absolutely valid, but it should be recognized as opinion and not fact. "ID's" is equally valid in modern usage.

> they're designed to cripple the power that the internet brings to the electorate.

IIUC, they're part of Hollywood's Righteous War on Tech and its Wild-West Internet. Based on SESTA/FOSTA lobbying. So perhaps "to media consumers" rather than "electorate". Perhaps roughly: Hollywood fighting to bring law and order to the Internet (there's little good about it, and it's mostly just video packets), against media consumers steeped in entitlement and illegality, Google/BigTech's unconscionable power, and their corrupted mendacious supporters in Congress.

That much press writes about this, and it's discussed here, as if trafficking was the issue... oh well. I'm reminded of a, IIRC, a Columbia Journalism Review column, roughly "why a liberal dislikes the NYTimes", describing each morning getting it and Financial Times, skimming NYT, throwing it out, and reading FT... because while FT was "of the enemy", at least it didn't misdescribe political issues as conflicts of ideas rather than of interests.
By "we" here you mean... Google with Chrome (as the most popular browser), Apple with Safari and Mozilla with Firefow. Google being the one against whom the fight against FLoC is being fought?

That sounds... optimistic since you needed Google to form that "we".
> 10,000 steps is the default recommendation of some of the most popular fitness trackers on the market

It's worth keeping in mind that much like "8 glasses of water per day", this recommendation does not have any particular pedigree (outside of trivia about the early marketing of pedometers in Japan). It's not clear that it was based on any evidence, and it isn't especially supported by the studies that do exist (which suggest that the benefits on mortality and morbidity for most people taper off somewhere in the range of 6,000-8,000 steps per day). It's a reasonable enough goal as far as it goes, but all signs point to it being chosen to be a "round" number and not because it's an actual estimate of anything materially meaningful.
"I know this is a novel concept to some on here but prostitution is degrading both to the ‘sex workers’ and their clients."

You seem very confident that this is an indisputable fact. Can you explain to us why paying for sex work and performing sex work are always degrading acts?
Order is often way above freedom, securalism and corruption. You first want your daughter not to be raped each time she goes out and THEN, maybe, make sure politicians don't take kickbacks from public tenders.

And it's not easy to go out of the loop corrupt dictatorship -> poor population -> corrupt police -> easy crime -> order needed -> corrupt dictatorship supported
If that's the case, why doesn't it apply to elected officials who make more explicit calls to violence?

Good point. There has to be a better way than price caps though, price controls are well studied and have a tendency to reduce aggregate consumer surplus
Reframe it in marginal terms:

- No one says there must be sex work in the utopia. But we have it in this world, and prohibitions of vice do not work.

- We utterly fail at catching and convincing rapists, let alone preventing rape with deterrence or something. The orthodox ways to prevent the crime are not working.

If there is already a failure of justice and prevention, and if sex work isn't inherently bad, what's wrong with improving the lives of sex workers and getting less rape as a side effect? And even without any utilitarianism, the key would be to focus on the unpatholization of sex work as something good in its own right, with the rape reduction side effect as not being decisive.

That depends on how things play out.

Depends on the complexity. Most of the taxes would be the relatively simple sales tax where it's just the price of the good that matters. You'd probably see a lot more centralized stores acting as a go between for companies to handle selling things in each country.
Diet also plays a factor with long hikes. You can't just grab a burger, fries and soda whenever you want.
correct, but the debian rules on this issue state that only the elections are not public. there are no provisions for private votes on resolutions.

That's not an answer though. I believe (but I know little of both Haskell and Rust) that Haskell polymorphism is at least as powerful as rust static polymorphism but it is normally implemented via type erasure.

I think the real reason is that rust gives additional guarantees about lack of allocation and object layout that are hard to implement with dictionary passing (BitC tried and failed).

That would require admitting that moving the tracking process to client-side actually improves on status quo (by not collecting data on the server).

> what’s the use of owning crypto if no one accepts it?

I mean, when your currency is being heavily devalued, putting your free cash into anything else is beneficial. The Turkish airbnb hosts I spoke with years ago had euro bank accounts, and immediately fx'ed into euro whenever they got paid. If bitcoin is too difficult to get then Turks will just go back to putting their money into euro.

Oh, and they can all still access bitcoin markets in a manner opaque to local government via a trl -> eur -> btc path, and if they need some local currency, via the reverse. Any Turks in Europe with contacts back in Turkey: you could probably make money facilitating this.

> I don’t see how Turkey’s ban is “silly” in anyway.

It's silly because it's unenforceable, and trying and failing to enforce unenforceable laws just makes you look weak. The storefront bitcoin brokers in Istanbul will have to shut down, but money is already digital and it's going to flee a sinking lira whether it's into crypto, foreign exchange, real estate, precious metals, art, or whatever.

If governments are so powerful, why would they ever feel the need to ban cryptocurrency? If they are not so powerful, how could they possibly succeed in banning them?
If you think wealth inequality is bad now, the wealth inequality in a hypothetical Bitcoin economy would be orders of magnitude worse.

Please explain, is this belief because wealthy people have front run Bitcoin by accumulating it early on?

As it stands now, fiat currency drives wealth inequality when the federal reserve injects trillions of dollars into the system. That money makes its way to store of value assets like stocks and real estate. Poorer people tend not to own those assets, but of course would one day like to. Since most of their net-worth is comprised of cash, they suffer the most when cash is devalued by printing. Every day that passes makes it more unlikely that they will ever own those safe haven assets, or they'll own proportionally even less.

In a Bitcoin economy, there is no flip of the switch, no button to be pressed that allows this to happen. In a hyperbitcoinization event, where all the world's wealth is transferred into Bitcoin, the earliest people are rewarded the most. But no further arbitrary devaluation of assets can occur. Monetary saving power is restored to people, not governments.
Lost a lot of weight (near 300->180, now 200) and diet really matters a lot more than exercise. Fasting, eliminating sugar (and fake sugar), and eliminating processed/high glycemic carbs - especially late at night. Exercise has a lot of other benefits and can start to feel good and give you something else to look forward to than food but it can also be a bit counterproductive in that you are hungrier. Understanding what drives cravings and hunger is key, i.e a nice steak (usually split w/ partner) + a large salad or roasted veg for me is the perfect meal - delicious, incredibly filling and I'm full for the night and even until midday the next day.
I would believe that random noise is easy to filter when you are Google.

I think the issue stems from:

> "I don't think it is near as big a deal as you make it out to be."

It is ambiguous weather you are "not sure about your logic", or if you are "not sure about Blikkentrekker logic".
I took it to mean the latter.
This puts your comment in a very bad light and set me off because it fails to acknowledge the issue Blikkentrekker is raising.

> "While you are granting the FSF the ability to relicense your code, they only have the ability to re-license your existing code"

A developer chooses the GPLv2 in part to what it does to _future_ code. `I provide this for free and we are all required to contribute future improvements for free, no-take-backsies`.

>"If the FSF releases GPLv3 and it is CC0"

is among the worse case scenario's for a developer that chooses GPLv2.
It invalidates their choice and leaves only `I provide this for free` and is the core of the issue at hand.

> My argument is that the FSF will probably not grant anybody privileges with the existing code that I don't like.

And this is a perfectly fine counter. Its a matter of if you think the risk is worth it.

I don't understand the first sentence; do you mean writing it several times in succession and completely discarding all results but the last one, or more like an iterative process that actually looks back at what was written previously and improves upon that content?

Also, I don't think I can really make use of the latter part; it implies that only people who have taught the subject for years are qualified for writing technical books, which - given that I am not a teacher and likely won't be one - gives the resulting vibe of "just give up" without any possible improvements. I can't make any use of that in order to improve my current or future writing.
As others have said stock is ownership in a company, whereas cryptocurrency doesn’t represent ownership in anything other than the scheme itself. It takes a hell of a lot for a publicly traded stock to go to $0.

The market is manipulated certainly, but that is not a justification for tech companies and developers to create crypto currencies to pump and dump.

Also the markets are regulated from registering trades by CEOs in advance to insider trading laws. Though far from perfect it’s no reason to waive a white flag and open the flood gates to unmitigated scams. And the only times it appears coin scams have resulted in any legal action and liability is under the guise of the existing securities laws.
The author asks,"Is one of these facts untrue?". Clearly the answer is that the second "fact" is not a fact it's just provocative ranting from the mouth of yet another journalist who's trying to get clicks by invoking Musk's name.

Most people's view of economics serve primarily as an intellectual Rorschach Test and in this case both Musk's and this author's perceptions seem wide of the bull's eye but in opposite directions.

Economics has almost no "first principles" of which Musk is fond and so he lacks a reference point. The author on the other hand seems to be one of those who makes up their reality out of whole cloth. In short a "hedgehog" according to the book "The Signal and the Noise".

You're right in that we can't fix the "issue" of women needing to do sex work until we fix the issue of how we view female autonomy compared to male autonomy. Generally, we set a lot of people in our society up for failure. I think we could do better at openly addressing how people are targeted for exploitation, particularly those in vulnerable positions such as homeless persons or those on the autism spectrum.

It looks like your goal is to enable non-developers in an organization to make changes to a production database?

If so, you may want to consider that non-developers typically don't have access to production databases for a good reason: they can easily make breaking changes.

You may want to consider creating a "pull request" type functionality where a non-developer can create a change, and instead of having it executed immediately, be sent to a developer/reviewer for review and approval. This would still save developers time in crafting complex SQL queries, instead focusing on reviewing the changes others are proposing and ensuring they don't break the system.
