> but why would they?

They should, because they observe the parent's point:

The employee now has the potential to jump ship and re-start this process for a higher $x, meaning that the employer risks losing the institutional knowledge/institutional memory that this employee contributes, and the employer will suffer the cost and risk of hiring someone(s) new.

An employer declining to give a regular pay increase is depending on their employee's loyalty and kindness to remain in employment at lower than their market value, and/or that the average employee has very minimal capacity for risk, because they must constantly stay housed and fed.

That might work for the employer a while, but personally I don't find it a wise long-term strategy.
The Forbes rich list has some criteria such as from their own revenue or share prices. Basically private market generated wealth. There are exceptions and the line gets blurred really quickly, but thats their stated goal.
I think I'm biased because I've been working in their ecosystem for a decade now, but I absolutely agree. I think they've done a generally good job of updating and deprecating APIs. The designs for their common UI components is consistent, making it easy to build things once you know the basic patterns.

The only complaint I have is when you get down to issues with layout and animations not working as expected, it's incredibly hard to debug what's causing it since it's in the "magic" part of the UI frameworks. Often, some re-shuffling of main DispatchQueue steps fixes things up.
This is quite a complex explanation of a process that I see as pretty basic and linear and as old as homo sapiens: new people are exciting, old tenure-wise people are usually not exciting because they are not new people, and their importance - especially in a big 1000+ company - is often overstated. The ship carries on anyway.

You can see this phenomenon everywhere and it is as clear as Caribbean water in marriages or relationship: one can be married to the most good-looking, engaging partner around, but doesn't the so-and-so looking person you have met a bar after a few drinks feel like a rush of life? After choosing the rush, some of them have regrets, but it appears that, in the vast majority of cases, life goes on. And it surely goes on for a company, so companies are not very motivated to spend more money for someone who's old news.

My experience in consumer and enterprise tech tells me that most the rationalizations one reads on HN and similar forums, that is the cost-benefit analysis of hiring or retaining, the calculations of how many hours of engineers' time are spent on hiring (or meetings!) instead of working on product, are fun academic discussions as much as doing a cost-benefit analysis of marrying your partner or going on as is, or getting a dog. They all talk about them, but how many do those analyses? How many go by feelings instead, or aspirations?

For example, in my current company (but isn't it the same in all companies?), when somebody leaves, there are the customary "I wish the very best in your future career" and when someone joins there are the customary "It is so exciting to have you here, let's book a 1:1". Opportunistic messages, but they also say something real about how we feel about the old and the new.

I remember a Uber guy who left the company after a few years of tenure. On Twitter, they wrote the usual: "It's been great to be here, I met so many exceptional people (...and all that customary boredom)". After 6 months, another Uber-er wrote on Twitter: "We worked so well on that product, I did not know you left!".
It was an enlightening exchange.

Background: my co-founder and I built splashgen because we were building many simple landing pages to validate ideas quickly. We're both developers, and didn't want to use (or pay for) Unbounce or Carrd. We also didn't want to copy/paste HTML templates around; that felt too cumbersome. What we did want was to be able to programmatically describe a landing page and have it be generated for us. Hence splashgen.

Ask: *if you're a developer that needs to spin up a site to validate an idea quickly, why would/wouldn't you use this?* Your feedback will help us improve the product and decide if it's something we want to expand upon. Thanks!
Everything you described is done with less than 15% of total spending budget that the U.S. currently allocates. The vast majority goes to paying for military spending and benefits to people who pay very little tax.
13 years? wow. do British prisoners get out early for good behavior and such similar to US?
Of course newer, high spec models are coming. In the meantime, I’ve spent 6 or so months developing and working on my favorite laptop I’ve ever used, and I anticipate high resale when a newer version comes out. Explain how I have been short sighted?
> Croatia is a good example

When I think of a country like Croatia, I like to compare it to some locale in the US with a similar total pop (4-5M?). Things start to make more sense then, that's a smallish metro region where that kind of networking is more common.
There very much are companies doing this and selling it as a service...here's an API that you can query with a piece of contact information to retrieve all sorts of additional information, including hashes of alternate email addresses, mobile device ids, social media profiles, and plenty of other stuff: https://platform.fullcontact.com/docs/apis/enrich/person-ins...
Ai have serious doubts that they would date shoot down the plane, but obviously this is such a wild scenario for a normal pilot that they cannot be blamed for not turning it into a game of chicken
We don't do this, actually. Our take-home code challenge is fairly straightforward (I suspect anyone with 2-3 years of real-world experience could complete it in a few hours). I do spend about 45-60 minutes per candidate in a phone screen to talk with them and get a sense of their experience. Our on-sites convert to hires at a pretty high ratio, because I try not to bring people on-site unless I'm pretty sure I'm going to hire them, and while we do a few whiteboarding exercises, my team is trained to ask questions that don't have a single correct solution. This isn't about memorizing trivia questions. It's about critical thinking skills and problem solving in real-time, and that's what we're trying to measure. If I give them a question and they take the entire 30 minutes to get halfway to the answer, that's OK.

But, having interviewed at a number of other companies in Silicon Valley, you aren't wrong. Most companies optimize on the FAANG dimensions and it's not particularly accessible for anyone who hasn't spent months grinding on those challenges. Not a good way to hire, imo.

these are both general purpose CPUs. They do the same job. Maybe if you were comparing a server chip.
This is the reason that the Bill of Rights say "Congress shall make no law infringing on..." The creators of the Constitution were very clear that rights were not granted by the state, they were inherent to all people.

There's still room for the Bill of Rights to only apply to Americans though, it is not clear whether they may make no law infringing on the rights of citizens or people.
It's similar to the clean energy debate. Rich countries telling developing countries that they cannot get rich the same way they did. It's more about securing their positions from competitors than actually helping the poor or whatever.

Also, every country that agrees to this minimum tax loses a bit of sovereignty, because if a member state needs to for example lower their rate to 14% or 10% in the future for a very good reason, they can't.
I mean what exactly is hard to understand? You presumably went to arcades as a kid?
Wow. Keen eye and sharp mind.
It sounds like you should do some research and see what the govt actually provides for you!
These are examples of unsuccessful wars, although we don't know how many times the possibility of American intervention prevented USSR from starting theirs. Korean war was partially successful though, the whole Korea could look like North Korea if US didn't intervene
It is very simple: just make corporate profits for US corporations (or more sensibly, the difference in taxes) taxable on the US, wherever it is made. This is already the rule for individuals.
This is just embarrassing. The claim in the book about an absence of correlation implying an absence of causation is correct. The car thing is not a counterexample, simply because pushing on the gas pedal does not cause the speed to increase, obviously. For example, the car might be switched off. There is confusion about the concept of cause here.

Further embarrassment arises when the author talks about the lead book author’s credentials. Does he not even know who Kahneman is? It’s bad and irrelevant enough to dwell on what you think are an author’s qualifications, but at least find out something about him first.

I wish Microsoft had continued to develop Windows Phone as an alternative to Windows, instead of trying to incorporate some features into Windows as Metro, which met with inevitable backlash. I would have loved to see it evolve into a tablet/touchscreen laptop platform on its own merits.
> This is one of the features I never miss and don't use on any other DE (like KDE). I just open the app, create the file and save. Maybe it's just habit, but I personally doesn't find it as a needed feature.

To give perspective, I do weekly. I work often files that I need to modify or create files that have no native apps with UI. Key files, certs, etc.

Also, its way easier when working to just create file in already open dir than go open a program and try to navigate to the dir you already are. Eg local web development, I'm 10 dir deep somewhere obscure place.

I'm on windows.

Doesn't the vast majority of the world's commercial software run on Linux?
Lots of similarities between Jupyter and Matlab. Jupyter is open source (jupyter.org) and is great for exploratory data analysis and integrating documentation/thought process with markdown. We are helping link that environment into your other notes, and keep track of reproducibility as you create a document or article.

Our document format/schema is open source, basically opinionated HTML, and the ability to translate between latex/markdown etc. (see https://curvenote.dev/editor for a demo of the editor, the schema is linked there as well).

Thanks - this is the tool I wanted doing research, that could help me out from group meeting notes all the way to the manuscripts, grants and papers I was writing.
Indeed true, if you are on one of those big providers and they're failing you there's not much to lose aside from your own time/money by DIY'ing it. The ESP business is basically all about volume and if you need special handling you're going to get left behind.
I got a used Herman Miller Aeron about 5 years ago for a couple hundred $. Since then I've added a third party headrest. All these years later and it's still in great shape. I've seen these actually increase in price on craigslist which is nuts

I wonder if something big will be announced about iPad software. I feel like there should be a reason why they put M1 into iPad Pros with a big jump in memory (from 6GB to 8/16GB) and processing power.
One thing I love about this post: you read the grey tldr; and you get 80% of the gist and the main idea. This optimizes for the reader rather than for the author's ego.

Too often authors try to keep suspens up and make for a big reveal at the end. This format instead conveys information and then develop on it if you want more.

Good job!
There’s a preference to switch the search field from “the entire universe” to “this folder”.
100% agreed here. Accept a text field; maybe validate that it has an @ in it and a . after the @.

Send that address a confirmation email. Now you've got consensual opt-in and you've somewhat protected yourself from adding a wrong address to your recurring mailing list.

Prevent abuse with long (seconds) delays between submissions from the client. If the user thinks they did it right, they're waiting on their email inbox anyway; if they immediately realize they made a typo, it'll take 2-3s to fix.

The RFCs were written when manually (not from cron) sending email to another user on your local system as a thing that actually happened. I'm certain you actively want to avoid that now.
Not easy? The internet basically runs on linux
The apps you install expire after a week. You need to reconnect your device to a computer at least once every seven days and reinstall the custom app. Also, you're limited to three apps at a time.

It's not actually usable for anything. It's also a completely arbitrary and needlessly-punitive restriction—if I've opted in to installing custom software, why limit me to three apps at a time, and why make them only last a week? What security benefit does that provide?
Interview with Lee Felsenstein, Homebrew Computer Club Moderator
What does a proper job of taxing US corporations look like?

Currently, US corporations have a minimum tax of 10% on global income or 20% on US income; sounds like the numbers are proposed to change to 15% and 28% (or something; NYT paywall is loading too fast today, and it's a proposed law so the details aren't set and not worth fighting over); and the US is saying hey, these guys are going to pay 15% on income from your country, you may as well have them pay it to you instead.

The AMT on global income was part of the Trump tax changes, and is a departure from the full corporate rate on global income, but only due when/if money made it back to the US.

I imagine a next step would be charging multinationals headquartered elsewhere but operating in the US the AMT on their global income. That's kind of far reaching though, so if they can get a few major countries on board instead, that's better.
> I also find it funny that a country that can't even level-set taxation within it's own 50 territories wants to dictate taxation for the world now.

Historically that proposal was pushed by EU states and the US wasn't onboard. It's recent development that the US agrees to it.
That's what I'm a little confused about. It isn't just because it is RISC, it's Apple magic? It seems weird that you can emulate other instruction sets with RISC underneath and get the performance they do. I assumed if you could recompile to the native instruction set you would get a really optimized app, but it seems like the interesting work always operates at a different layer. Fascinating stuff.
Good, at least one country is taking a stand against the totally lawless sewer that social media has become.
snowrestler says>"If the lab leak theory was easy to confirm, it would have been done already. Maybe someday it will be confirmed or ruled out and I’ll happily up-vote that story. "

Yes. These medical researchers are very good and very persistent so I trust them to do their detective work. They have always been my heroes.

For example, a recent claim is that they have found the earliest case of AIDS/HIV in humans. An excerpt:

"^By DANIEL Q. HANEY, AP Medical Editor, CHICAGO (AP)

Scientists have pinpointed what is believed to be the earliest known case of AIDS an African man who died in 1959 and say the discovery suggests the virus first infected people in the 1940s or early '50s...

The virus in the sample had degraded, but the scientists were able to isolate four small fragments of two viral genes. One gene holds instructions for assembling the outer coat of the virus, while the other is code for one of the proteins the virus needs to reproduce...

HIV mutates quickly. About 1 percent of its genetic material changes each year. So the scientists compared the genes from the 39-year-old sample of HIV with those carried by current versions of HIV."

Take time to read the (short) article. It is a credit to our medical/biomedical scientific researchers and explorers and a glowing tribute to what good science can do.
This is what I don't get as well. The limitations of the devices are well known. Why would you drop the money on a thing that doesn't do what you want it to do? Just because someone feels a device has the ability to do something other than what it is actually doing doesn't mean the vendor has to allow it to do that thing. It was designed and tested against what the vendor wants it to do. Allowing it to do other untested thing just means more support headaches down the road.
I don't have a good answer to this question, and am actually curious about it.

But note that in the EU we do have VAT, and the governments are still (pretending to be) looking for ways to curb "tax optimization".
> Now I know that the scientific community proved that it doesn’t work.

Even that I'm not so sure about. This is a collection of all the HCQ studies: https://c19hcq.com/

Early treatment at lower dosages (lower compared to the "negative results" studies) seems to show positive results pretty consistently.
That does mean that there will only be an ad-hoc undocumented standard for email addresses, rather than one that's serviceable.

Web application validation forms add a different layer to the standard and are sort of hard to tame; anyone can push together a few lines of PHP or Javascript code and conjure their own email address standard out of thin air.

I would imagine many CEOs being on board with this.

If your competitors are using these loopholes, you have to as well.

It’s the individuals that shield their wealth by using international corporations that stand to lose the most.
I also think part of the "real skill" in this sort of business is making sure you have someone around when it breaks. If the pearl counting algo goes haywire, the pearl company wants to know that they'll have someone to contact to fix it.
1. There exist politicians who believe that forcing you to fill out the paperwork reminds you that taxes are evil. They're doing it for your own good, see?

2. There exist tax preparation companies which profit enormously from doing the paperwork for you and they'd miss out on that profit if the government just billed you.

> I'm not sure what the situation is today but I feel like it's dying again when I walk around the city.

Do not fear, the pandemic only supercharged people finding new outdoors hobbies. Skateparks are wildly more packed than ever, many new ones have been created in the past few years to keep up, and hard goods have been flying off shelves at shops.
This is also why I've become a bit more skeptical about Nuclear. Renewables + batteries are pretty mediocre right now but if I'm to bet on something for the next twenty years, it's that.
> Delhi Police, controlled by India’s central government, on Monday evening searched two offices of Twitter — in the national capital state of Delhi and Gurgaon, in neighboring state of Haryana — to seek more information about Twitter’s rationale to label one of the tweets by ruling partly BJP spokesperson as “manipulated media.”

> An hour into the search process, Delhi Police Special Cell team, which investigates terrorism and other crimes, vacated both of Twitter’s offices because they were closed and there were no Twitter employees to engage with at the premises

That sure sounds like a physical raid.
> I have seen this claim made recently, but as I remember the 'disregarded' conspiracy theory was actually that the virus was genetically engineered (ie codon sequence edited) in a lab.

For the better part of a year now, the lab leak theory and the genetic engineering theory have been lumped in together by those trying to discredit them as conspiracies. The issue is that every time someone would point at circumstantial evidence of a potential lab leak, people would point at the scientists saying there was loads of evidence it wasn't genetically engineered, when those two things aren't remotely the same thing.
It is impressive you do it so fast. In case you have not thinked about it, some people will be interested by it in life sciences.

To answer my own question, a PhD thesis by Yipeng Huang [1] from 2018 discusses shortly a comparison of a simple Black-Scholes example using Euler-Maruyama and an analog computer (chip). Although the analog system seems to be a bit faster in principle, it suffers from drift and other issues and has to be frequently recalibrated. Also, the accuracy is worse than the digital version.

Nevertheless, this seems to be quite interesting and looks like it can be further improved.

Their example of pushing it into the type system is nice but requires a language with a fairly powerful type system. Once simple way to do this in basically any statically typed language is just requiring a "Run Token" for any bit of code that does something "for real". This method works well if you want the output to be similar or identical for dry run and actual run.

struct RunToken;

fn do_the_thing(_: RunToken, ...);

The general approach works for just about any statically typed languages (although null is the enemy).

You can make it a bit more tedious to generate that RunToken so that a `do_the_think(RunToken, ...)` looks more natural. But the idea is simply that if the only place you create a RunToken is when parsing the --no-dry-run flag you can't accidentally do_the_thing when you move the code out of the `if is_dry_run` block without noticing.

Of course this is a simple way to get fairly reliable dry run. I do agree that having seperate plan and apply steps is approach is the best when you can do it.
following the analogy, this article and many others like it conflate offshore with criminality while occasionally saying "although use of licensed banks in these countries is not illegal [in the host country and the client's country of residence]" and then glossing over that for the rest of the research paper, never quantifying any use case even with leaked data, all to steer your emotions.

The internet is a mirror, it tells you what you want to see. You should be most skeptical when things match your worst nightmare.
