Had to do this on a site recently and it didn't work for me at all.

It wanted to scan the back of my dl but Indian dls are totally blank at the back. Then it said my webcam wasn't good enough and showed me a QR code to use for my mobile. The link never opened. Tried it 3 times and 5 minutes later I just googled the next alternative site and bought it from there.

Levels says E-7’s at Facebook get a nearly $1,000,000 compensation package

A) Is this annual? As in their unvested RSUs are nearly 4x this amount

B) This is not accounting for stock price appreciation?

or do I have it entirely wrong. Two years ago on Blind I could tell people were discussing their compensation packages in wildly differing ways. It was impossible to tell if people were discussing if they signed an offer that computed a particular dollar value that was only relevant a single year and they just liked to brag about it, or if they were discussing their annual tax filings from employment, or even something else. I feel like this discrepancy translates onto Levels as well.

I've been forced into using Outlook on Windows and Mac and snappy has never been my impression, although I seem to recall it being somewhat more usable on Windows. Not that GMail is snappy either, but a browser based client isn't necessarily slower than Outlook. Although an actually fast native client would be hard to beat.

I bet if HC were not employment centered, this would be much different. In the US, it's a badge of honor to have a "job with benefits". Switching jobs and not having HC benefits that are as good or cost more weighs heavy on the minds of most people.
Research is not "years and years of clinical practice".

You've nailed the complexity of this. On privacy, people are rightfully spooked about this for all the reasons you've mentioned. On safety, people are really happy about these initiatives as accounts backed by user identity are less likely to be used for harm. On security, leaks of these databases create issues to other sites and companies (eg: if Company X is compromised, then identity documents could be used to disable/bypass 2FA for Bank Y).

To make it even more complicated, regulators often hold contradictory views. They want to see increased safety, but in the same breath will announce actions against companies for violating privacy. This is a super-difficult balance to strike.

Specifically for Stripe, I trust them. So if I see that a new start-up is using them rather than rolling their own solution, that increases my trust. But it means there is now a big giant server in the cloud with millions (billions?) of identity documents that is worth a lot of money for hackers.

Two economists are walking down the street and happen upon a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk. The first economist says, "Look at that $20 bill." The second says, "That can't really be a $20 bill lying there, because if it were, someone would have picked it up already." So they walk on, leaving the $20 bill undisturbed.
> The vast majority in Sweden pays nothing like "65% tax rate + 25% vat", though. To get to that tax rate you need to earn far above average.

First of all, the OP is including the social security tax in the 65% figure. But more importantly, arguing that "the average Swede doesn't pay that much in tax" isn't very consoling for the American who would have to (1) take a salary hit to live in Sweden and (2) have to pay that higher tax rate. Universal healthcare doesn't remotely make up the difference in take-home pay.

As a reference point, taxes, retirement/pension/social-security, and healthcare account for ~30% of my gross salary in the U.S. If I moved to just about any Western European country (not sure about Sweden in particular), my take-home pay would likely fall by 40% (conservatively) while taxes and cost of living would likely rise.

Of course, the tradeoff for the Swedish system is that you have a stronger social safety net, which is certainly worth something. But the issue at hand is the notion that the European systems are better than the American system for professional employees.
Sticky Header and Table of Contents User Testing (Wikipedia, May 2021) [pdf]

The Zeeman Effect of magnetic fields is usually taught in undergrad-level quantum mechanics classes (physics major track), where a degeneracy of the the solution to Schrodinger's Equation for a hydrogen atom is split into separate levels by the magnetic field. There's a similar effect for electric fields too (the Stark Effect).

United Fruit/Chiquita had a roller coaster of a beginning in the early days and I highly recommend the book The Fish That Ate The Whale about Sam “the Banana Man” Zemurray if you’re interested in reading about the truly wild story. Fair warning: it starts off a bit dry with background about bananas and how they’re cultivated (interesting, but maybe a bit more in-depth than necessary to tell the Banana Man’s story) but it’s worth sticking it out.

If you make twice as much as you need without being extremely frugal, you likely have the skills to compensate that.
Exactly. A lot of people think, if the company is so tight or so stingy (whichever the case may be) they can't afford bagels anymore, it might behoove me to search for work elsewhere.
So I assume the things that are becoming free don't include using your own domain for mail? Will Google Workspace Individual include that? The TechCrunch article mentions it will be $9.99 with introductory price of $7.99 which is more expensive than current basic plan.

I really just want custom domain hosting with Gmail and ignore everything else.
It doesn't have to be a binary option. If you have control of your money and want to put it in the hands of a centralized organization you should be able to do that.

I saved low five figures but I don’t expect to need all of that. On very rainy days, or when I need to do laundry, I typically go to a hostel or split a hotel room with fellow hikers. Other than that it’s really just food and miscellany…having said that I am carrying like $1500-$2000 worth of gear at any given time so there is a real startup cost.
I think it's quite common for people to waste all of their money on consumption and not save or invest, so a mortgage in a way is a forced savings account which helps to average person build or at least save some wealth over time.
Oh damn, that's fantastic! I wanted to write a small server that did something between this and Fire above (i.e. allowed you to drop a Python script into a directory and would create a UI for its functions). It's a great way to make small, random functions I've written accessible to people with zero work.
> Maybe there is a middle ground here where you could allocate $50/year for these sort of expenditures in order to prevent them from getting out of hand?

Here I would agree and indeed I think certain people misunderstood my original comment.

What I was trying to say originally is a bad boss is one who has an open-wallet policy to "but its just $10 a year", because that sort of policy will absolutely come back and bite them or their company in the backside one day once the numbers start adding up. So yes, absolutely, set a hard dollar limit per employee and we're in agreement.

Because yes, if you don't, things will soon get out of hand (as I posted in more detail a little further down).

Not sure about employees running their own company but Facebook opened up more EU remote hiring.
Notably, Americans pay more per capita for Medicare and Medicaid alone than many European countries pay per capita for universal coverage.

> Regarding comparing tax rates, those six figure job numbers don't include the substantial amount the employer is paying to the healthcare company.

To be fair, in many European countries - and certainly for Sweden - there's substantial payroll taxes paid by employers as well. Though to end up at 65% in Sweden even with employers payroll taxes tacked on, you're already earning a multiple of an average salary.
I did something similar between school and a job, but it wasn't so much intentional as acute burnout.

In tech, we luckily have the luxury to take time off and recover when we need to.

I worked on some closed source personal projects and worked on getting into shape. When I was ready to return, the employer didn't really care that I had taken time off.
Yeah that's the view I take too. Max out your pay/mental effort ratio and then enjoy your time. Being a mid level software engineer is pretty darn chill once you get decent at your craft.
Because they've never been on unemployment and small business owners largely have a poor opinion of UI in general.

Well another way to frame this is "X% are willing to quit their jobs if they can find a better offer" but only a fraction of that actually manage to find that something better. Not being able to do so could be due to those employee's shortcomings, but more likely its about how many better jobs there are and how competitive it is to get those jobs.
You're correct, and I'm British, but it's not surprising to me that an Irishman would object to it.

I fundamentally disagree that you become a manager because you can influence the company. Manager's manage the projects and the people but should have very little control over what the company actually does and what projects are chosen. That should be the domain of the product and engineering team themselves.
Well said. I don't have any gold in my portfolio but I don't begrudge people who do. The risk of ruin is pretty darn small, so even if you give up money versus an index fund, you're unlikely to lose much value over the long run.
I guess that if you have PII on your device/machine that is extra sensitive, you probably also have a decent size company behind you, in which case you could refuse until the legal team gets to you and challenges the warrant or asks for an actual forensics team to do the investigation - of course you may just give it up and let the company deal with the fallout after.

If as another commentor has said, it is based on location, rather than specific devices, then I can't see a lot of these warrants holding up once it affects someone with a lot of classified stuff on there. Eg. You pop round a friends house from work, you do contracting work for the MOD and have your work laptop with you, turns out your friend is involved in some financial "bad stuff" and you happen to be there.
The Bumble issues feels so much worse, IMHO. All of the "hacks" clearly demonstrate that little of the security, limits, etc. are enforced by the server.

I graduated highschool in the U.S. in 2009.

Was forced to memorize times tables, long division, random formulas. Rarely was proof based instruction provided.

Some teachers encouraged creative thought, others would mark a correct answer wrong because you didn't use the specific method they taught in class.

Ironically, having graduated college with a minor in mathematics - I still don't have my times tables memorized.
You probably know more about linguistics than I do (disclaimer: very little), but I suspect you might not fully appreciate that "etymology" here is probably just a mere translation of the very well established discipline of studying the history of Han characters in East Asia...

Alternatively, would you have a better suggestion on what to name this in English, if it shouldn't be called "etymology"?

Also, what specifically would you recommend taking with a grain of salt from the website -- that the data might be wrong? Or are you implying that, notwithstanding a possible name confusion, that the study of evolution of characters is somehow not a worthy exercise for "serious" scholars?
Any browser or extension that has a block javascript button does the trick. It's a nice one click button to have at hand.

Despite some uproar, Brave is still probably the best "it just works" script+cookie+ad blocking browser. Click the shield, click off scripts. There are many less dials to tweak, less things to go wrong or interact poorly than with uBlock/NoScript.
Doesn't the fact that a large percentage of people are already vaccinated with another covid-19 vaccine effect these results? I know if there is a control group you can compare the rate of infection in the two groups but it is my understanding that when they say a vaccine is 96% effective they simply mean if 1000 people are given the shot 4 percent of the people got covid during the study, right? So if many of the people who are around the trial subjects are vaccinated would this not lead to inflation of the "effectiveness" of vaccines tested later when more people are vaccinated? Or do they take into account the control group results / vaccination rates when calculating the efficiency?

EDIT: Ignoring of course the fact that the specific vaccine formulas used are likely to lose effectiveness over time as new variants pop up.
Not only that, they go out of their way to police the topics in forums and social media.

Mentioning the wrong topics gets people labelled as pushing "talking points" or "conspiracy theories" with total disregard to the factual reality behind.

On toy compilers to present the basics sure. On LLVM, maybe that's a bit much? Reading the code, why not, but compiling it? Don't see the point in a compiler course. I can't see what you could learn about compilation in a CS sense by compiling LLVM.
Good point. The few times I was up at that sort of elevation or higher, the insurance was always through someone the guide company specifically recommended. Fortunately, I've never had any significant altitude issues.
I'm not even sure if its true since most media will barely engage with the issue. But Fauci appeared concerned that Covid-19 could potentially be the result of a gain-of-function research that artificially evolved another COVID strain to increase its effectiveness at spreading.

If true, COVID-19 is the biggest scientific fuck up of all time. Fauci had allegedly pushed to resume funding that sort of research.

Instead, the powers that be sort of dismissed it as a conspiracy theory for over a year until it was suddenly okay to talk about a few months ago.

Again, I can't even tell if any of that is true because most media outlets ignored it.
How are organizational hierarchies and social (status) hierarchies not the same thing? I'm not sure I'm following
Why not consider companies that are not FANG? FANG is just 4, you can check with each. I believe you will have to be tied to some existing local office for HR reasons. Of course, there are always exceptions people whisper about, but I suppose you need to be exceptional for a manager to push for that. It is definitely not the norm.
As someone who recently interviewed (although not at Facebook) the number is the _annual compensation package at the time they signed their offer_ (it includes base salary + annual stock grant + bonus). If someone got $1,000,000 in annual compensation 2 years ago, the stock portion per year will likely be larger now due to appreciation of the stock. These numbers are crazy high and before I interviewed this time around I was somewhat skeptic of how real these numbers were outside of a few outliers but now I'm pretty sure it's pretty common.
Make your current job frictionless or find one that is like that. View your day to day as "another day in the field" like a farmer from 500 years ago or something. Use your wealth to enjoy life and do things you like.

Bonus would be to build something on the side, build a business or something that you enjoy and that makes you money.

I don't think there are many careers with the high pay/mental energy ratio of a mid/senior level software engineer. It's pretty good.

If you truly don't care about money, go out and YOLO it and try stuff until you find something you really enjoy more.
I'm located in Colombia, and all my developers friends/acquaintances that speak English are already working for US companies. Some of them earning 100k+, but most of them earning about 50-70k.

I'd say there is not a general unwillingness to hire overseas developers, on the contrary, if more people could speak english in south america US companies would be more than happy to hire even more here.

There is a shortage in english speaking developers globally, but not a shortage on companies' interest in hiring anywhere
