I meant increases in offered/negotiated salary. A marginal dollar of salary gets taxed the same way as a marginal dollar of vesting shares, so discounting one in the offer because of taxes makes sense if you discount the other in the same way.

You shouldn't trade away a dollar's worth of shares for 60 cents more salary just because of taxes.
"If the objects are real, and (big) if they are violating the laws of physics as we know them, that means that our understanding of physics needs to be revised. Physics is physics."

One little issue here though. The current understanding of physics is the result of study performed on inert systems, under total (or big enough degree of) scientists' control. Areas which aren't easy to be subjected to experiments are avoided. (Among other things, choosing something like that would pose a high risk of loose speculation on the limited data sets at hand, and an even higher risk of results staying unverifiable by independent parties, both reflecting badly on the scientists involved.) When confronted with something hardly explainable like UFO reports, the easy way out is denial or questioning the source and information veracity.
When I worked at a defense contractor (years ago, before any of this stuff was even on the horizon) I'm pretty sure HR would have been had a "I am living the movie idiocracy" moment if that happened.

Diversity of culture between workplaces is collateral damage of diversity and inclusion efforts.

All cultures are not compatible. Not everyone will not be comfortable in a particular culture. Not everyone will not be wanted in a particular culture. [0]

The left call this immoral, believing that any exclusion or disparity is the result of circumstances that enslave humanity, from which humanity should be liberated [1]. The result of this thinking is the limiting and constricting of various liberties, and a push towards the formation of a soulless, foundationless, conglomerated monoculture.

Instead of fighting to produce this horrible monoculture, we should accept that people don't get along, and then find a way to allow all cultures to thrive.

Man these “woke people (for lack of a better descriptor) we love you but you’re making the workplace unbearable so it’s time for you to stop making everyone angry or take a pile of cash and leave” memos are increasingly abstracted away from the real issues - do the people writing these really think they can come up with a formula that doesn’t peg them as anti-woke but still gets the desired result? Because they can’t.

When they stopped banning all results, the ones that showed up were just random people and tanks. This is clearly intentional. Maybe they're just testing the waters. If people give them a pass ("ItS jUst A SMalL ooPsie"), they'll accidentally ban more things. Anti-CCP games are already banned and Hollywood and sports are already kowtowing to CCP demands.

That’s right. I pass by several farms on the way to work and there’s a lot of people working in close groups and using shared housing. Thats who those shots are for. I show up to work at 4:30pm and work at a computer till 10 or 11pm.

I don't think it matters. They wanted to pipeline people, knowing that some would technically qualify but be lower priority, but efficiency was the most important thing. That and each person getting vaccinated means less risk to them, less risk to spread to others, and less risk to mutation.

Two issues here, we are at a memory wall, and if system X takes 64MB and system Y takes 1024MB, that is 4 doublings. So the 9x faster number holds. APL in this case is like being 4 Moore Units ahead of everyone else.

The other one is that, separating the thing from the representation of the links between things is not unlike a set of basis functions forming a high dimensional space. The indices into the store forming a point in that space.

Yes that’s better than bankruptcy but Walmart is a far cry from a successful old incumbent being able to address new upstarts.

Also what makes you say Walmart Labs has great tech and hires top software talent?

A quick look on Glassdoor shows the salary is quite low (esp. as it’s based in San Bruno). I know plenty of new grads that are earning much more, even at non-FANG company. I imagine like most incumbents, Walmart underinvests in tech because they see it as a cost center.

The typical Walmart Labs Software Engineer salary is $116,635. Software Engineer salaries at Walmart Labs can range from $66,567 - $184,513.

This sounds possibly reasonable... If the price is low, the supply is high enough already, adding more supply might not be helping anyone, dentists nor patients.
I very strongly disagree. No one is asking their companies to stand up for trade policy or any wonky stuff outside their business. It's almost entirely about representation and discrimination. Things are part of everyone's everyday lives and things very much in every company's power to resolve.

I think the notion that companies should only care about their bottom line is the thing that needs to end. Returning profits for shareholders isn't enough. Employees have started to think that who they work for should reflect their values. And why not?
Ok, but that's not what the GP comment said.

Believe me, I'm just as uninterested in losing freedoms as you are. I don't believe, however, that the feeling of being "under attack" is very conducive to this cause. People who feel they are under attack are likely to give up their freedoms in exchange for safety, or rather for a false feeling of safety. Indeed they will do it eagerly, and this can be used to justify anything. Even if it's something you personally would never support, that doesn't matter because it will be effectively exploited by others who do. So if we want a free society we should all be careful about how we handle the language, thoughts, and feelings of under-attackness.

You've always been a fantastic moderator, dang. To be honest, it's not your place to say anything on the matter publicly, especially not an insinuating comment such as that. The conditions of separation are private. A company can create pretext and other excuses as to why they separate with someone. The only conclusive answer is that there is no conclusive answer here, and there probably never will be unless OP takes legal action.

I think this won't be the first time that a techie underdog goes up against the YC crowd and is shut down by ridicule, legalese, and other platitudes. It's important to not censor those folks, and also important to not try and publicly denounce them in the way that you have. It will only work against YC. The underdog will always have something more interesting to say than the company. They will bide their time and come together. It's best for the company and its constituents to not comment on the matter at all, or post provocative content that encourages uncivil discourse.

I've seen a lot of YC companies doing this to their employees. I think it's going to backfire in a really ugly way in a few years.

> even thought markets have been proven time and again to be self-harming and unstable unless closely regulated to limit social harm, inequality, exploitation, and the development of monopolies - it's not going to be positive about this idea.

Damming the concept of “markets” as “self-harming” and “unstable” is an asinine statement. Of course not every instantiation of a market is flawless and without trade offs. Any sufficiently large-scale social system is rife with weird second order effects.

We can only analyze the efficacy of markets by comparing them against their alternative. Ironically – given one of your complaints about markets is monopolism – the most common alternative to markets is monopolism by the government. Yet, governments suffer from the same bureaucratically-induced problems that you are attributing to organizations operating in markets. Indeed, they have it worse because they don’t have the external pressure of competition to keep their bad behavior in check. Accountability in the public sector is significantly worse than in the private sector. History is filled with state-owned monopolies that failed to adapt to changing situations and degrade into obsolescence while still bleeding the public of money.

Every social system over-produces some things and under-produces other things, in constantly shifting proportions as time goes on. Of all systems, sufficiently competitive markets are the best at dynamically adjusting to minimize both surpluses and shortages. State-owned monopolies are truly abysmal at matching supply and demand. There’s textbooks worth of material as to why this is the case.

And perhaps, you may be referring to some notion of “totally free markets”. But there are no totally free markets. All markets are subject to the formal laws of their various operating jurisdictions and the norms that come from operating in society. The great thing about markets is that when a company does bad things, the public usually can switch providers, thus punishing bad behavior. There are notable counter examples where there isn’t consumer choice, but those organizations get dragged in the media and are forced to change in the court of public opinion.

So, to be honest, I don’t know what you’re on about. What’s the fairyland alternative to “markets”?

Just to follow up on the point, here's a Bloomberg piece that states that Colonial Pipeline was because they didn't use 2FA to secure their VPN, which allowed the hackers to compromise their network with a single cracked or sprayed password:

In terms of security best practices, this ranks right up there with not leaving your keys in the ignition while you go shopping. This is the world in which we live: multimillion dollar corporations being either too cheap, incompetent, or lazy to issue RSA tokens, Yubikeys or phone-based TOTP for their VPNs. And somehow this is the fault of Bitcoin?
They're bullshit in the sense of overall human progress (ie. we'd be better off if we could all get along and never have wars), but that doesn't answer the original question of whether it can exist in competitive markets.
I also had this suspicion for some time. In reality they have a large amount of premises in their economic models which must be true in order for the conclusion to follow.

Also there is e.g. a large amount of empiric data supporting minimum-wage laws are beneficial and also a large ammount of empiric data showing it's harmful!

I've learned it's extremely difficult to find Samsung products on the shelves in Japan. The conglomerates in East Asian are intertwined with political influence.
I avoid Walmart because of their absolutely terrible treatment of their employees, the fact the have failed to provide decent wages or benefits for their workers, drove a race to the bottom in retail and did this almost entirely to the benefit of five children who were lucky to be born with the last name Walton and are now the richest family in America. The corporation is seared in my mind as the ugliest side of American corporate greed with a total disregard of social responsibility.

Only very recently did Walmart even attempt to bring up wages, and it's not because they felt some accountability for decimating small towns and family owned businesses, but because they were becoming a dinosaur and suddenly had to compete for workers who would rather work someplace that paid more, even if only marginally and exploited them a little less brazenly.

I don't think meritocracy is a myth. The myth is the belief that the current world is perfectly meritocratic.

I still doubt it is something that we want in our society, because meritocracy is about promotion of ability above all other consideration, which exactly favored anyone with resources, and spending resources on the most capable members of society.
That sounds painful indeed. I've never had to use any of these services or features on any other cloud so I can't compare. I've certainly heard that Azure Networking isn't great, but then again I am not someone who ever has needs that can't be met by what is being offered.

It sounds like you mostly deal with the Infrastructure level services - VMs, availability sets and networking.

On the 'vouch' option, this seems helpful. However, at some point one just accidentally creates a tier of "Super Upvotes" and "Super Downvotes". Trying to establish a reasonable heuristic/estimate/algorithm/whatever to identify who is or not a 'trustworthy user' worthy of the "vouch" permission might produce an interesting paper or blog post, but I doubt it'd help to increase transparency in real life, especially if there is a need for judgement-calls.

> the plain reading is…

No, that’s not quite right.

*To you* the plain reading is what you say. To *other* people the plain reading is different.

I, for example, don’t think the plain reading of something typically involves taking the union of definitions for each word in the sentence. To me, most plain readings involve selecting the single most appropriate definition for a word based on the surrounding context.

My point is that there isn’t an objectively correct “plain reading”. You are not the arbiter of what a plain reading is, nor am I.

Would you agree that different people can read the same sentence and in good faith have a different understanding of what “the plain reading” is?
