Pay cuts are a pretty accepted alternative to layoffs during recessions... I think it certainly depends. It's more of an ethical question - as legally, I'm pretty sure the company can implement a salary cut whenever it wants.
Half of Polish cities were rebuilt using central urban planning and came up awesome (build quality aside). There were a few rules:

- 5-10 min walk to kindergarden/school and local stores
- 3-5 min walk to a bus stop
- tons of green space
- taller buildings but varied in size and angles so that there is both ample space and variety

This is my place I lived in when studying:

And this is my place where I grew up (street view not available because cars not allowed)

I literally had no streets to cross when I had to go to an elementary school, and literally 1000 other kids had 1-2 small streets to cross at most, walking 10-15 min or less.

If their router login page has been indexed, then the user most likely don’t know what they are doing.

It’s fine to expose router configuration (although it’s not ideal), but if you know that you are doing, you’ll at least place it behind a VPN.

Pattern recognition and the ability to construct, destruct and handle abstract structures in your mind IS the essence of IQ. Just have a look at the usual tests.

What people don't like, or even question, about this concept is the correlation between IQ and "intelligence" (whatever this is).

IQ seems to be mostly a genetic trait. Test results kind of normalize in grown up humans. Childhood experience gets less and less significant with age, which points to a strong genetic influence. (According to Wikipedia).

I think a lot of people actually don't like the implication arising here, as it points in the direction that you need to be born "smart" to be "smart" — and that you can't change mostly anything about that significantly no matter what you do.

Nevertheless there seems to be a difference how fast, or even if, one can reach "full potential".

IQ is just a trait, and without the right stimulus it won't develop quickly. This seems no different to other genetic traits after all.

I'm of course not going into the question whether IQ is a good, or even adequate, measure of "intelligence" (whatever this is), as this is a can of worms… At least it's quite sure not the full picture. One can for example excel at arts or sports without a high IQ.
Except inline is like register, it is only a nice request to the compiler, not an order.

If you really want to inline no matter what, the only way is with compiler specific keywords/attributes.
Potato chips are another example. They can be made at home from ingredients that could otherwise be considered healthy. It's just that when you combine them in the right proportions, it can be hard to control how much you eat.

The other misnomer is labeling chips as "not nutritious." They're loaded in macronutrients. They often don't have many micro nutrients, but most people aren't actually short on those.

The main problem with some of these foods is they're calorically dense, but not filling.
I'd imagine you could generalize that observation to any intentionally published work of the government. That's also my understanding of FOUO from when I needed to know: the agency I worked with thought of it as a magic word for "not meant for release" (in spirit, not legality).
As a Canadian, it did a great job of showing me videos from Indigenous people. There was a recent discovery of mass grave sites at the residential schools in Canada. I was very happy to get to see plenty of videos from native creators - some educational, some memorial, plenty of great funny videos too for good measure.

There were some truly beautiful videos. Ex, a mom showed her 11 year old daughter in traditional native dress at her first pow-wow. The mom wasn't allowed to do that when she was a kid. So sad and beautiful. I cried!

Where else can I find this content..? Idk! I didn't have to look for it, Tiktok showed it to me.

I also think there's filter against toxic content. A lot of the videos I see are educational about social issues, but rarely does it feel like a toxic echo chamber.

Public transportation is heavily subsidized. But liquidating it because it’s not profitable would cause extreme traffic congestion. The city would cease to function. Buses and trains are a multiplier for capacity.

Private transportation is also heavily subsidized. Usually it’s in indirect ways like the government paying for roads and airports, mandating parking minimums, and keeping driver licensing lax. There’s rarely direct budget line items to keep fares low. But make no mistake marshaling capital and land are huge subsidies.

It runs well if you have the time, patience and expertise. There's no fundamental technical barriers. It's purely a matter of enough development resources being committed to the project. I think Apples recent moves would motivate more developers to work on it.
After a car accident, I had to depend on public transport in the boondocks where my job required shuttling from site to site in very humid hot tropical weather.
I thought I was going to die that first week.

One of the locals finally told me I couldnt just walk out of airconditioned low humidity offices into the street and roam around, without giving my body 10-15 minutes to recalibrate. So before setting out from air conditioned buildings, I would stand outside in the shade for a bit and then head out. And that made a big difference. I started sweating less and didnt feel humidity as much.
Can you detect notes with missing fundamental?
The key here is humidity. With low humidity it's possible to lose heat through perspiration. With high humidity it's not.
Mercator projection probably makes the fire look bigger than it is.

According to Google, as of a few days ago, the fires in Siberia burnt about 4 million acres. France is 159.087 million acres.

In 2020, though, fires in Siberia burnt through 47 million acres, which is apparently bigger than the entirety of Greece[1].

You don't get it. This is actually the free market in action. People love to talk about the virtues of the free market, until they actually get one.

In a normal labor market, companies can pay based on geographic concerns because employees aren't mobile. In the case of engineers, designers, etc., these people can work from anywhere, including San Francisco. So, they always have the opportunity to make SF wages by working in SF.

But, the thing is, none of this changes when these same people move to Bumfuck Nowhere. The same companies are still competing for the same employees, who are capable of earning the same wages they were before. And, like it or not, SF is the place where a software engineer can maximize their net income after expenses. So, guess what? Companies in Bumfuck are now competing with companies in SF.

Remote work doesn't enable a truly free labor market, but it does significantly free things up.

Regarding people not being paid what they are worth, I know that. It's also bullshit, but that's another comment. And, as I said in another comment, you know that, I know that, and Google knows that, but there are lots of people out there who either don't know that, or just refuse to acknowledge it to themselves. And, if you're Google, you really don't want to open those peoples' eyes, because it reduces the information asymmetry about the process that you exploit in order to get people to work for less than they're worth.
Why not just move to a dense city or downtown? How can a random developer-planned concrete mixed use fortress possibly achieve the nature of a city? A street in a city is a market. People compete to offer the best goods/services/experiences based on the what the local people want and this organically grows into something interesting. If one person plans it all out from the get-go it kind of loses the sheen of any level of culture/unpredictability that makes living in this setting appealing. This feels like a repackaging of those McMansion neighborhoods in a cute urban millenial flavor.
What a naive and cynical perspective.
Having lived in Singapore for five years (2012-2017) (and worked out in the field for about 50% of that time) I can say that Singapore is one of the milder places to live. It never ever gets particularly hot (I genuinely can't recall a 100+ degree day in the entire time I was there), and the humidity, while, "sticky" is never really extreme. The thing that gets to you is that the climate never seems to change (with the exception of a lot of rain) - it's always pretty humid and in the high 70s/low 80s, 24x7x365.

Once you acclimate to it though - it's fine - I used to do a 5 mile run every day from Anson Road/GardensByTheBay/MBS - wasn't an issue.

I worked in Dubai for about 6 months, and there were days there that I honestly thought I might die if I didn't get somewhere cool. And it wasn't the days that were 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 Celsius) (though those were intense) - but the 100-105 degrees at super high humidity that would knock you on your back. Your entire body would be instantly bathed in sweat and it wouldn't help.

I was fine without Air Conditioning in Singapore - would sometimes turn mine off and just open the windows, but I can imagine anyone doing that in Dubai during the hot season.
How long do you think it will be before "good network speed" is available widely enough to be profitable?
Yes, you're right, I've updated my post to remove that bit.
I don't think the world is that simple. Corporations will usually use some consumer benefit that gives them an even greater benefit. I think I'm literally saying the same thing as you but with some nuance added. Companies don't just own the regulators and force them to do whatever they want. Companies justify extremely self interested regulations through the guise of some consumer benefit.

For industries emerging from the innovation stage to the regulatory capture state, usually the first regulations increase the startup cost to some extremely high level that only the incumbents can support. Only in the advanced stages to governments grant monopolies to specific companies.

Society gets high quality products that enhance productivity, and enormous tax revenue that more than makes up for any public services that could conceivably contribute to their productivity, so of course they're not indebted to society.

>>Without societ they'd be nothing at all.

Society constitutes them as well, so they are also contributing to the existence of this society, which means they are giving as much as they're receiving.
Thank you! We have tons of ideas of where this product could go, but I can stay with good confidence that IC performance management is not one of them: I don’t believe that this is something that can nor should be automated. If you look closely, we’re actually shifting the focus _away_ from IC performance and more into the effectiveness of the organization as a whole (which in a sense says more of the performance of the management).

Our hope is to break down silos between engineering, product, and “business”, which are at the source of so many organizational inefficiencies. We need this shared context where CEO/CFO understand where we’re headed, where engineers understand how they work fit in the bigger picture, where product can focus on market research.

I’m obviously extremely biased here, but being thoughtful and deliberate about the way we allocate our efforts just sound fundamental to me, and it’s not the sole focus of any particular function.

You may not want to take the risk to get injured. Three years ago, there was in France massive protests from the "yellow vests" that started because of the increase of the tax on diesel (which was lower than gas, and so the most popular type of vehicle), a problem for the poor-middle class.
A number of people lost an eye or an hand because of blast balls or gaz grenades that were not launched properly. A few died. Some were beaten by the police in situations not requiring "legal violence".
The government and the police used to say it was the fault of the protesters. But now we have smartphones to film, so in these cases there are… investigations that lead nowhere, the culprit from the police is never identified.
It can be seen as a tactic to instill fear and reduce the protests.
Also, take a burner phone because it can be taken by French police as it could have been a tool to organise an unlawful activity (and you may not see it anytime soon even if you are not guilty and released).
The limit is 35°C wet bulb temperature. The temperature you're accustomed to reading is dry bulb. You can't compare wet and dry bulb readings; they're completely different measures.

And do one of the issues 35 WBT “hides” is that any activity lowers the heat stress threshold. Sugarcane workers are already dying due to heat stress today, and have been for a while.

Remote Work Story of Lucy Pagan Who Moved to Full Time Remote
Nice to see a recommendation for Petzold's The Annotated Turing in the post, it's a great read.

I'm not sure I really understand the writer's concern though. The debates he mentions (functional versus object-oriented programming, dynamic versus static typing, oral versus written collaboration) don't seem like issues with right or wrong answers in and of themselves, but rather issues for which to compare and contrast benefits and tradeoffs according to one's goals, priorities, and preferences in a given situation. Disagreement with heroes in such a context seems a complete non-issue.

> "could I be stuck in a local maximum?"

I perhaps don't quite understand his meaning of the question, but as perfection is infinitely precise and necessarily unattainable, everyone (who's at least honestly doing their best) is always stuck at a personal local maximum, and will be until they find a new maximum through continued learning. And I think there'll always be enough variety of experiences and preferences among individuals that we'll never all completely converge to the same maximum.
Nope. The virus can already spread among vaccinated.
Why would that be Google's concern?
No Benefit or Incentive for Developers to Create Quality Code on Projects
Just off the top of my head,

Aseprite: https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite
Onivim: https://v2.onivim.io/
Ardour: https://ardour.org/

Of course, I don't know how successful each of those projects are, but they seem to be successful enough to continue development.
It is looking like Nuclear Fusion or Battery Breakthrough. Consider how little media hype it is getting and no actual production time line, which means the absolute earliest commercial usage will likely be 4 - 5 years, takes another 2 - 3 years to iron out all the edge cases, we are looking at 2030 before it becomes mainstream.

I dont follow lens and sensor industry at all so do correct me if I am wrong.

Uh, I'm not an economist, but what you said doesn't make much sense to me -- isn't "the market clearing price" effectively the same as "people are paid the value of their work"? If the value that a software engineer can potentially produce is lower, then wouldn't the corresponding market clearing price would simply be lower for that person?

Maybe in a world where every software engineer is genetically engineered to have the same output then what you said about market efficiency would make sense, but this isn't that world.

The thing you said about price discrimination is not even related to what the OP said, and you simplified the problem a lot by reducing the problem simple monetary terms. The example you gave about expats is particularly flawed, because it's not unusual that expats are paid more for other values that they bring outside of the work they perform (for instance, academic institutions think of that as prestige in some Asian countries). We were all born unequal, if the market were so efficient there wouldn't be so many unjust things happening around the world.

Ask HN: How to Go from Developer to Entrepreneur?
Hello.
I've been a developer for many years. Recently I've started a project that is becoming very popular and could be a huge success. But I know that will not happen unless I turn it into a business and hire people to help me built it. It's simply not a one-man-job.

How do you go from "this is my own project and I want to write every line of code myself and control every aspect of it" to actually building a team and company around it?
That was a pretty mild story considering everything Uber has reported, from Greyball to the Indian driver rape case, and sexual assault coverup in London...
... you clearly don't know much about construction laborers.

Construction laborers (in the U.S.) typically make fucking bank, as it's impossible to hide the fact that they're ruining their body doing the work.

This is where the stereotype of construction laborers driving brand new stupidly large lifted trucks comes from. They have money.

Given the fact that "Wealthfront helps you build wealth by doing nothing. We make it easy to maximize your returns, lower your taxes, and grow your money effortlessly." Is the first thing to come up when searching for your employer, I guess it's not hard for me to imagine the source of your disconnect though.
yes, it's just pseudo-ethical garbage to justify doing nothing politically
I know what I'm doing. I would be fine with this in some circumstances. There are legitimate reasons adding a VPN to a backdoor like this can make it worse. The trick to "knowing what you are doing" in this case is defense in depth and knowing what's actually accessible from a world-open interface, and how much of that would be really annoying to get to while simultaneously fixing your homebrew VPN that fell over six months ago and that you never got around to fixing.

Most routers are perfectly fine with a limited set of knobs accessible to the public Internet behind reasonably secure access ports. Bastion it behind SSH and/or SOCKS if you're paranoid, but seriously, as long as we're not talking a $50 Target 'router', it's probably fine. My Ubiquiti gear is indexed. It also reliably e-mails me when it successfully authenticates a user and can distinguish between inside and outside access to ACL what it can do.

Just saying, easy with the "if you know what you're doing" thing, because opinions differ (particularly with beyondcorp in an IT setting). Gluing a VPN back together through an SSH tunnel so you can get at the "fail over to my DSL connection" button inside your network is a really crappy deal at 3 a.m. with a few beers in you and 200ms in between.
