This seems like a strawman. How would you even write a job description in such a way that new grads and 20-year vets would both apply to it? You have a pretty good sense from a job ad what they're looking for even before looking at the title.

The reason recruiters can give you numbers is that they get ranges from the companies, a range from you, and give you the lowest number they can (usually).
I am not sure about this, i had periods of 5h a sleep days for a week or two and then slept 12 hours for a day and felt very fresh and carried on with 5h a day.
Sometimes it's 7-8 hours a day for couple weeks, sometimes it's 5. Feels about equal to me, maybe it has to do with volatile working hours for me, not sure.
All I know the worst is hangover days and on holidays I stay in bed for 10hours only to feel unusually tired.
Maybe environment is a bigger factor than genetics.
Depends on if you are serving ads over cat pictures or routing air traffic. Different solutions for different problems.
Looks like a perfect location for Hollywood to come in and do real physical effects with. Way back when Walker Texas Ranger was shooting, DFW airport was ready to expand. There were houses that were about to be demolished to make way for the exapnsion. Walker film crew went in and blew them all up as stock footage to use in later episodes. Something similar could be done here. Attach a giant flame thrower to a helicopter, and then replace the helo in CG with a dragon. HBO will be calling soon, as soon as they fix their email.

My friend works there and said that virtually everyone gets dropped a rank on the way in. It’s so common that people commonly introduce themselves as “I’m an X but pre-Amazon I was an X+1”.
You create a charitable remainder trust, which is a pretty wild tax instrument that allows you to control the assets, “donate them” (~1% a year of the principal) and collect tax benefits on the total amount at the start of the program. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wealthenhancement.com/blog/...

For carries of founder stock who have zero cost basis for their stock this can allow you to actually make more money depending on current interest rates.
In many ways they do this already and they do it terribly as you would expect from Microsoft. Not only do they install spyware automatically from OEM manufacturers like HP, they also often revert driver updates like Radeon drivers where they'll install an old driver on top of the new one you just installed.
Excluding candidates from Colorado will have disparate impact in every one of those categories.
> Even offline-only apps might gain online capabilities. You need to read the changelogs nevertheless.

No, I only have to look at the permissions. That is much less work because they're not arbitrarily long like changelogs can be.

And Google Play flags new permissions with a green "New", so it's easy to spot.
Me too. I need some 6-7 hours in week days and 8 hours in weekends. I'd trade a few years at the end of my life (hope I don't die soon) for 2-2.5 hour reduction of sleep plus still keeping my sanity and productivity. It would be a good trade.
Farming other animals is not limited to humans. For example ants farm aphids
I usually average 4.5 hours a night. I am still living, but it is not a happy life. I slept 8 hours one night, felt like a new person the next morning. But I fall back into the habit again.
For something heavily used, like the EC2 and load-balancing, perhaps, but I am still experiencing PTSD from my last CloudFormation encounter.
> Instead, what we’re seeing is ordinary phenomena, treated irresponsibly and incompetently by the news media.

This is journalism, the entire industry, in a single sentence.
It is nice to see some more rational explanations for these videos (instead of the constant alien/ufo drivel from most media outlets). The thing that still confuses me, though, is how these videos became a thing in the first place. We are not talking about some random civilians with a Polaroid trying to get pics of a lake monster. The Navy has (presumably high-tech) equipment for finding and tracking airborne phenomena and it is operated by (presumably qualified) professionals. It seems mission-critical that this technology/personnel would be able to accurately distinguish between lens flare/parallax/etc and actual aircraft maneuvers.

I get that not everyone in the Navy has access to the same equipment/expertise, so maybe this is just a matter of some easily excitable folks ignoring the experts from the very beginning....
Carl Sagan wrote a book based on this premise: The Demon-Haunted World.
In the US specifically, issuing dividends is a suboptimal strategy for returning money to shareholders due to taxation. While dividends are common elsewhere, the two standard strategies in the USA are share buybacks and reinvesting into growth. Buybacks work because increase demand + reduced supply = your holdings go up. Reinvestments work because higher returns in the future = people will buy the contract from you for more than you paid for it. In either case, it's the equivalent of the company "giving" you $X that month, just not as a bank transfer but as capital gains that you can shuffle as per your tax strategy.

>... and re-investment is extremely fuzzy and hard to value.

Yes. And the more this is true, the more that "stock" becomes a "stonk".

Compassion != action. Let’s forget about cows and lobsters. We know that African children are mining cobalt and Asians are working in sweatshops to make those 15 EUR H&M hoodies. Do we do enough to help them?
By donating appreciated stock, you can deduct it from income, twice.

So approximately, if someone donates half their wealth she'll pay 0 income tax, which may be more than her tax burden on the whole amount.

Getting this exactly accurate requires detailed accounting, as well as tax sheltering, deductible spending on first class travel as part of her charitable work, deductible payments to children and the value of buying favors and making her personal brand marketable, etc.
There is some exciting development on that front by building on XLA.

I think you overestimate the appeal of a handful of large companies, taken by itself, on a resume if only because they come with downsides as well.
I certainly believe Microsoft has high level employees working for Russian Government. Every version of Microsoft internal builds leak to Russian websites.
Your logic has the comlexity of that from comic book characters. Brainiac or ultron? Cmon!
AWS has the advantage of having so many engineers behind the scenes available for firefighting with a culture of pushing more than is reasonable that as a customer, that would sort of disappear. They simply have to occasionally make trade offs between unrealistic development/feature request goals and firefighting whenever the firefighting is needed. This also acts as another form of pressure to work even more to meet timeline goals.

Don't let your developers know that you're expecting them to always be behind, infinitely queued up with work, and constantly in emergency mode and they won't have much time to think about what's really going on and how efficiency is being pushed at the cost of their sanity.
This is true. Conservation and reducing animal suffering aren't perfectly coincident, and some times they are at odds with each other
Not sure why this being downvoted. Don't really have skin in the game when it comes to GME, but the naked shorting and creating short squeeze thesis has some legs, beyond the "stonks only go up" narrative. Burry was one of the first people to go long before all the craze.
I've worked 4 days a week (for 20% less pay) for years now. It's without a question the biggest positive change in standard of living and life quality I could buy with this money. Will never regularly 5 days a week again unless I have no other options, or unless the pay is so good it's ridiculous.

I'd work 5-day weeks if the pay was so well that I, say, could save up five years of expenses in one year. Unfortunately, my local tax system strongly disincentivizes this by effectively having a 62% marginal tax rate.

So, in summary, I will most likely never have a 5 days a week routine again. It's just that good. In fact, due to the marginal tax situation, it's more likely I'll downscale to something closer to 50% if I can get away with it career-wise.
Given the massive data breaches in recent years - especially First American Financial, Experian, and other troves of in-depth personal financial data - how easily could the pay ranges be deduced & disclosed by any determined grey hat? At least for most of the positions at very large companies. Which I'd bet is where 90% of the benefits of the current situation (huge information asymmetries in hiring and employment relationships) lie for those organizations.
Or is it? One thing JS and C have in common is a minimal core, kinda loosely defined, relatively easy to implement, that nonetheless lets you create powerful abstractions. I don't think it's a coincidence. I think anything more sophisticated and "well-built" ironically would have seen less initial traction, and lost first-mover advantage.

That JS wasn't a Lisp is kind of a pity, though. But again, Lisps have been around longer than almost any other language yet are still comparatively obscure, which tells me something inhibits their broader adoption.
There are a LOT of small business owners who choose to pay their employees more than they “have” to because they genuinely want to. There are a LOT of entrepreneurs who see “making my company a great place to work” as one of the core values of their job.

I don’t think this is so common when you were talking about mega companies, in part because the work of operating a mega company is a lot less fun than a smaller company, and so you have this selection pressure where (a) people who pursue that path are more likely to value wealth and growth over quality of life, and (b) ruthlessness seems to usually help companies compete and win in the market. Thus the biggest and most famous companies of the world are more likely to be focused on cutthroat efficiency and, as a result, miserable places to work.

But that’s no more a feature of capitalism than cancer is a feature of DNA. It’s a pervasive malfunction, but I believe it’s treatable, particularly through aggressive anti-trust and wealth taxes.

Remember that the vast majority of capitalism is little businesses like your local veterinarian or florist, not FAANG.
Even if they are, is salary range disclosure "compelled speech?" Businesses, including sole traders, must disclose their revenue to tax men. They might need to disclose contact details, address, packing dates, product origin...

Time for me to sound crazy.

I won't comment on the debunking. I am sure there's a logical explanation but I am not qualified to make decisions using the evidence I have (which is often true of people on both sides of the discussion, here, generally).

I terms of "are they here", it isn't totally crazy to imagine an AI that can self replicate it's frame, and use this ability to explore the galaxy. When it finds places of interest or that are particularly useful for replication it might hang around.

I'm do not think that is what is going on but it is certainly a possibility. Very remote, of course.
> in India, jobs are careers for life, and your employer is part of your personal brand.

This might have been true at some point in the past, but it is increasingly changing. In Bangalore, especially in tech companies, it is not a big deal to get fired. You can easily get offers within a week if you are any good.
On android, a lot of APIs that have nothing to do with GPS (such as watching wifi networks, looking for devices on the same network, etc.) actually need the "location data" permission.

This is misleading, but it is made so because one could potentially use data harvested through those APIs to infer your location (for example, if an app has a map of wifi networks, knowing which networks are around allows it to infer your position)
Oh I agree completely that there are better and worse ways to structure donations. And maybe there's even some perversity in the tax code that lets you make a few thousand bucks by making some very specific donations under convoluted circumstances. I just think there's no legal way you can donate 10 billion and come out with more money than not having donated.
In many companies employees are hired at market and then given as few raises as humanly possible regardless of changes in the larger market, their own skills, or responsibilities.

Employees know this in the back of their mind, but seeing it play out with a concrete new hire is dangerous for employers.

In terms of discussions over beer, many companies successfully create taboos around comp. Larger cultures that are squeamish about talking about money, which includes many of those prevalent in the US, make that even easier for those companies.
Because they might pay you more if they disclose upfront: Two candidates with a similar history may get two different offers because one candidate got paid more in the past than the other. And then in general, this means that over time, they get paid less too because raises are often percentages.

Disclosing upfront not only means that this practice can't really stay as is, but means that you might wind up with some folks that aren't getting paid what new hires are getting paid.

If you want to have a 20 year vet, say so in the job qualifications and offer a salary that would attract that group.
Sure, but more people are happy paying after the fact (in the case of oculus, via ads and 30% of sales going to FB) that I’m highly doubtful that they would make the same overall profit if they did sell it for the actual price they want without getting any money on the backend, especially if that backend money never stops even 10 years after the initial purchase.

The legal system expects you to apply common sense. Do you think what you're proposing is a common sense interpretation? No. So you would not be compliant.
> fine the business

that would just incentivize businesses to hide and obscure their breaches.
Queries are managed via a web interface. Nothing is known at compile time.

> What does the SQLite SQL dialect give you that LINQ/functions do not?

It's not about SQLite's specific dialect. It's just about SQL. The relational algebra/calculi are capable of expressing any degree of complexity. LINQ (functions) require compile-time, which breaks our objectives.
Thanks. I'm sure it's complicated. Will take some read.
I wish I could get people that are avoiding the COVID vaccine “because we don’t know what the long term effects are” to realize that we have real data showing that there are long term effects from getting full blown COVID. You don’t want a tiny piece of mRNA but you want the whole organism reproducing in your body? The whole genome and all the proteins made?
Taxpayers are "on the hook" for this in the same way that taxpayers are "on the hook" if I decide to take an early retirement and support myself by gardening rather than earning $300k a year in a Silicon Valley tech job, and paying income taxes on that, and the same way that society is on the hook because I have stopped producing any meaningful contributions to its well-being.

That is to say, it's a sliiiightly entitled way to look at the matter.
Just doing mundane things like decluttering and dishes at night helps relax the brain and wire it into the sleeping habit loop.

Don't start anything major after 6, and definitely not "squeeze in" a movie or a show before midnight. That's how it happens.

It's surprising how fast the time lapses if you do nothing but muck around the house getting ready for bed.
I think humans are a bit more civilized than lions, and can comprehend what we're doing.

That does not look like the sandwiches I just made and ate. (Bread, cheese, tomato sauce; heat in microwave; insert salt and vinegar chips; eat.)

That logo seems to have been introduced to the https://www.sudo.ws website in mid-2019:

• Until 2019-04-23, the logo is an escutcheon: Azure, argent-rimmed, octothorpe semi-argent, lightning bolt Or atop, “SUDO” slogan argent above. https://web.archive.org/web/20190423191355/https://www.sudo..... (I bet I got at least half of that heraldry terminology and expression wrong. Hopefully someone can correct me!)

• From 2019-05-08, the logo is some kind of sandwich (bacon strips, tomato, cucumber?) that looks overly cheerful and possesses a mouth of its own (are the fillings of the sandwich things it has eaten?), as well as eyes and crust-coloured eyebrows. https://web.archive.org/web/20190508170506/https://www.sudo....
Sure, but none of those reasons are the reason for excluding Colorado candidates.
It's a very short-sighted view on testing, although I'm not surprised SREs would say it. The biggest problem with software deployment is that it is owned and managed by people who have no vested interest in developer productivity, including devops engineers.

A major goal of any org should be developer productivity; otherwise you are just hemorrhaging money and talent. When I say developer productivity, I mean: How confidently and quickly can I make a shippable, rollback-free change to a unit of software?

If you are the dos equis man of testing, "I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in production", then you can't confidently make any change without risking a production outage, so you play lots of games, like you mentioned, around canarying, rolling out to a small percentage of users, etc., but at the end of the day your developer productivity has absolutely tanked.

The goal of any system maintenance should be that a developer can quickly make and test a change locally and be highly confident that the change is correct. The canarying, phased rollouts, and other such systems should not be the primary means of testing code correctness.
The people who have the big bucks to give, usually made that money by being "right" a lot. I would wager that it is very difficult for those same people to relinquish control, when doing so flies in the face of everything they have taught themselves to get to that point.

You are correct, they need to trust the people who know how to help. My guess is, that is a very difficult thing to do.
This was my first thought as well! Our first computer came with Spry Internet in a Box in 1996. Mosaic was already aging pretty badly at that point, the early web changed fast.
It also eliminates so much overhead if you don't require the recipient to explain and justify exactly how they are going to use all the money, and then document the proof they used it in exactly the ways they said they would (or explain why they didn't).
Then we shouldn't let people accumulate billions of dollars in the first place! They can do (and in fact do) so much more damage with billions of dollars in ways other than charitable giving.
Your health insurance does have a catalog. It doesn't just pay for everything and anything.

Depending on your country this catalog is also shrinking and pushed into private insurance. Since there is such variability between countries and their systems these discussions become 'hard' to have because something that is normal for one guy works the opposite in the other guy's country.

In Germany I had dental covered by the state. Like you said, fixed percentage of my income covered all that (and all the other health insurance needs with a catalog of services). No need to think about it. Except someone actually decided on that catalog based on monetary concerns and calculations. Also while there is a fixed health insurance cost as a percentage of your salary, there are different actual insurance companies and they add a variable premium to this which they 'compete on' for clients. This is the public system which must cover you and you can go fully private (and never be admitted back into the public system if you do) which gives you "better service" (like private rooms being standard at the hospital and such).

Then they added private insurance on top for some stuff that wasn't covered by the public dental plan any longer. In Canada just a regular filling needs to be paid out of pocket and I really want private/employer extra insurance. Different for kids where I pay out of pocket for a white filling but Amalgam would be covered. I don't even know if this is the same in other provinces maybe.

Pension: Germany has a pyramid scheme and it collapsed a while back. Not enough payers any longer and suddenly they had to tax people's pensions. People who they told need not worry about their pension ever. Suddenly they were told they would need to pay tax on their pensions and oh btw. you should really have started paying into private pension like a decade or so ago. From after tax income. They do have various private insurance schemes that lower your taxable income but the fees are sky high and returns meager. It's a way to shuffle money into insurance companies. Thank's government! And other than that, you can get ~800 EUR of tax free interest/dividends per year. Everything else is taxed at 25%.

This is way different in Canada again where Old Age Security and your pension are not covering you and everyone knows. People either work longer because they can't afford extra insurance or have an RRSP (kinda like a 401k) they pay into. You know you will be taxed on this later but you aren't now. And all your money grows tax free in that account. Never pay a single dollar of taxes on those dividends over the years. And a non pension tax free savings account on top of that. Sure it's after tax income in there but you can take it out any time. No need for any insurance company fees either if you don't want to. Sure you can buy mutual funds and such but you arent forced to just to be tax exempt.
Shame the history ends in 1965.
This is a very myopic way of looking at things. There are plenty of family businesses that aren't only interested in capturing an ever greater share of profits.
