Often people are following other "rising stars". In larger companies, as managers ascend to more significant roles, a set of trusted "loyalists" is very valuable as you move up.

In those cases you can move as fast as the "rising star" and not deal with the massive chaos/uncertainty of switching jobs.

Every new job is a sea of uncertainty: you don't know underlying power structures, and for techies, your technical ability is strongly constrained by the intricacies/NIH nature of build systems, frameworks used, libraries, and existing code bases.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you've emailed me a few weeks ago and gotten radio silence, it may be because I've been having technical difficulties. My @yahoo.com email is suddenly starting to reject a significant number of legitimate emails as SPAM, so, I'm switching to an @gmail.com for my job search communications, and I'll dig what I can out of my SPAM folder.

I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public companies.

Location: SF Bay Area.

Remote: Possibly.

Willing to relocate: Unlikely.

Technologies: Python, Django, Pyramid, Flask, Postgres, MySQL, Docker, AWS, and a few other web technologies. I'm very willing to branch out and work with others, such as Ruby, Node.js, Golang and others, so don't consider this an exhaustive list.

That's a fairly common trap for new C coders. Setting a pointer to something on the stack and then returning that pointer when you exit the function. It's extra insidious because it will appear to be working fine until you call another function and then try to dereference the pointer. Then your data suddenly becomes corrupt even though your program was nowhere near it.

They were so successful at marketing the idea that the "ok" sign meant White Power that white nationalists started using it that way and the meaning shifted. And since a lot of the 4chan people are deeply racist they were basically saying "let's take over this symbol". And they succeeded.
It's fairly uncommon to have insurance specifically for your bicycle, so most people would be filing claims against their renters' (if they have it) or homeowners' insurance. Given the size of those deductibles ($500 is the US average for homeowners', I would think Canada is similar [1]) lots of people would just buy another bike that costs less.

I think burnout is mostly related to a lack of intrinsic motivation / reward. When you're no longer deeply interested in what you're doing, it feels like a grind whether its 30 hours a week or 80.
While the statement implying that modern farmers are good Shepard's of soil quality is... debatable at best and I'd argue mostly false it is certainly true that, as a rule, deeper / larger root structures benefit soil rather than diminishing. Especially within the same family of crops deeper roots will always result in a healthier soil than shallow.
I'd like to see windows be part of office 365. Windows users get 'free' Windows on the desktop and Mac users can get licenses for parallels.

> So too bad, had a better offer to advance elsewhere and their interest in me was clear.

"Their interest in me was clear."

Exactly this.

Enlightened and effective leadership would pair a "not this time" response with a series of career development meetings, resulting in a tailored path for advancement; not as detailed as "this job, then that job, then that," but informed enough to show the candidate that they were heard and valued.

An additional bone in the form of a small raise and or training would also be effective.

And of course the plan needs to be reviewed periodically and sincerely, for adjustments and progress on the part of both parties.
IMO this is a terrible idea. Humans love to try to engineer things and wind up mucking things up sticking their fingers in it. Think of all the invasive deliberately introduced species worldwide. In some cases it worked out, but the results were not predictable, in most cases it caused unforseen problems usually as bad as or worse than the one people were trying to solve.

> Currently voluntary for foresters, transferring seedlings in anticipation of future climate conditions will soon become mandatory.

Think of this: those forests that are there, when the climate was different before there were probably different sorts of plants, no? I'm not talking millions of years ago, I'm talking ten thousand years ago, way too short of a timeframe for evolution. So how did those plants get there?

The answer is clear, either the trees that are there are more adaptable than we give them credit for, or the seeds were winding up there but didn't germinate until climate changed to the conditions they needed.

Either way no intervention is necessary.

So why don't we just let it happen naturally the way it always has? Why do some people think a solution to (pardon my French) putting your dick in the pudding is to put your dick in the pudding some more? Maybe quit digging the hole and leave shit alone?
Why are they not allowed to restrain a shoplifter? In Germany, that's covered by the "anyone's" right: if you see someone commit a crime, you can detain/restrain them until the police arrives. Some restrictions apply, like for example having to watch the crime yourself etc but for shop security staff it's enough rights

Is it possible that they are combining the pages and will still have the same functionality? I personally find it very confusing that Chrome has two different pages for managing cookies. I pretty much always want the manage individual cookies page, but each time I find the other page first which only lets me clear all cookies and have to track down the page I really want.
They also run the only decent, independent search engine that has _its own_, _uncensored_ index. DDG was perceptibly worse than Google, but Brave Search is about on par, and the latency seems to be better as well. I maybe have to go to Google once or twice a month now instead of several times a day DDG would require. I know a bit about Google search, and frankly I'm stunned by what Brave was able to pull off here.

I'm actually not against Firefox either, but they refuse to implement a profile switcher, and I need one to be able to fully and unambiguously isolate my work and personal accounts. What's particularly grating is that they already have profile support. Just not the UX to switch the profiles without pain.

Truth is it could be hard to take vacation in a toxic company irrespective of whether it's clearly laid out or not. A lot of startups are toxic - intentionally or unintentionally.

Mandating vacation is a good idea when they really mean it. Use it or lose might work. Fixed days with payout if you quit or an option to cash out works too - companies carry it in their balance sheet and encourage days off as a result.

> No, you are reading that in.

We'll we can agree to disagree here, but let me first clarify what you do think. If the meritocracy doesn't chip away all most inter-generational wealth disparity over 500 years is that OK? Do you think e.g. John Stuart Mill or Bertrand Russel would agree with you?

> > Again, it might better align liberalism with the reality of what it actually accomplishes, but that is is *too tepid( and will not save it.

> This is a restatement of the justification for authoritarianism.

I am not stating that liberalism isn't good enough. I am not even stating that liberalism isn't ambitious enough "objectively". I am saying that sort of liberalism isn't ambitious enough to maintain popular support. Right or wrong, it will die as the increasingly restless, and sure, illiberal, masses, seek other things.

Neoliberalism, was surprisingly successful saying we cannot have certain nice things and narrowing the overtone window (again, I say that independently of whether neoliberalism's claims are true), but it is unsustainable.

I agree more tech literacy is needed. The learning curve for Linux seems so steep. For what it's worth, I took UNIX classes in high school, and know how to get around.

But Linux is just far more than I can handle, even just to install apps and configure settings. For example just trying to get my mouse not to stutter, I dig and find a solution. I copy and paste it into the terminal. It doesn't work and I try 3 different solutions. I'm curious about solutions but it wears my curiosity out pretty fast. I need to get work done.

In the sense that computers are like cars, I'm okay not knowing how exactly it works under the hood.

The big question is: will this be enough to push anyone to get a NYTimes subscription who was on the fence previously?
We're deliberating this ourselves. Our investors strongly advocate removing the "beta" because our product is solid and complete (in fact pretty polished at this point) and we're doing ourselves no favors. I think they're right. To me the question is simply: what's more accurate? We were honestly in beta 8 months ago; at some point we just had customers happily using a product we're progressively making better.
> Meanwhile, Texas and Florida, which largely remained open and avoided draconian lockdowns, seem to have made out OK. Kids have been going to school, businesses have stayed open. You look at COVID death rates by state, and neither Florida nor Texas cracks the top half.

The arguments are passionate, but in at least one case objectively wrong. The current death rate in Florida is 1.15 per 100,000, putting it at #1 in the U.S. Likewise, the current COVID-19 death rate in TX is 0.81 per 100,000 putting that state at #6 in the U.S.[1]

Windows should have a "minimal install" option were it only installs the base operating sysyem and not much else. That's why Windows XP/7 will always be the pinnacle of Windows releases in my opinion.
You could clear "all cookies for all sites", but that tends to piss customers off, as pre-filled fields for many websites are no longer pre-filled.

If I remember right, clearing it for one site didn't help because clearing "login.paypal.com" cookies didn't clear "some-other-thing.paypal.com" or "www.paypal.com". They seem to use www.paypal.com for everything now.

Google for:
"paypal Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand" for one example

Or "paypal your last action could not be completed" for another.

In my experience limited PTO leads to burnout more often because employees could get paid more by taking fewer days off since their PTO is paid out when they leave. So some employees choose to continue working because they feel bad taking time off that technically decreases their potential pay.
The point is, your phone follows instructions from 3rd parties on scanning your data and reporting back the results. It’s processing your files accordingly, with the intent to to make sure you are not doing anything wrong according to those 3rd parties. Your own device is policing you according to the requirements of those 3rd parties.

My solution to burn out was to go down to part-time; I have been incredibly fortunate that my work place supported my decision to go down to 4 days a week, with the option to do 3 days for 3-6 months and keep my full pay - I was not expecting this.
It depends pretty much on your field. If your field is related to games, formulas related to quaternions, linear algebra and coordinates will be useful; if your field is related to data science or machine learning, then, statistics, linear algebra, tensors and optimization will be useful as well. Obviously some types of programming requires more math than others, a robotic-related programming certainly will require far more math than a vanilla crud application.

> You can easily communicate numbers 1 through 10 to just about anyone around the globe by holding up the corresponding number of fingers

For the numbers 6-10 China have hand gestures where number of fingers held up does not correspond to the number.

I was confused by this when I wanted to buy something and the lady crossed her two index fingers.

I took it to mean that the item was not for sale (out of stock), but later learned that this is the hand gesture for the number ten.

The original start of this thread by jxramos was referring to how inventory was taxed. "curious, who's taxing for inventory?" You responded:

>Corporations are taxed on assets that they accrue (increases in total holdings are taxed as 'profit'). This applies to inventories, capital assets, and real estate.

and

>you did already pay taxes on holding that inventory.

Inventories are taxed as property which is, in general, about 1% of the cost (to the company) of the item.

You're conflating income and property taxes. What your describing in your previous posts is an income tax, which is the tax paid on the net income associated with an asset. However, you have to dispose of the asset to pay that tax. Until then the asset is property and it's only subject to property tax.

You can still clear cookies for a single site by clearing all data for the site. Does not require devtools. If a site is bad enough to require clearing cookies, clearing the cache & stored data is probably not a bad idea.

If your site needs users to clear cookies, then you should fix your site. Clearing cookies is not a routine thing.

As a European living in the US since a decade. It starts to impact my mental health.

I went from 8 weeks / years to 4 or 5.
Currently 3. Ha.

I cannot recharge the same way ( meaning : travel for weeks at a time, or chill hard for 2 weeks in a row )

It’s flexible all right. But I feel like I’m always working somehow. Work is near, lurking.

I’m nursing a nice little depression that I feel a road trip would cure easily. Too bad I need to keep my last week of vacation for Christmas week.
To me, the most important part of unlimited PTO isn't the "unlimitedness" but the fact that it's not something I'm having to log in a system. It's that usually I can just take off a Friday or a Monday here and there without any issue as long as I give a bit of notice.

My company just got rid of unlimited PTO for all the reasons people say they hate it - they didn't think people were taking enough PTO for their health, it was used unfairly, etc... Functionally now though, I have to file paperwork with 3 different groups to have someone approve even a single day off so they can make sure I'm not going over the number of days off that I have in accordance with my level and seniority. Thankfully my manager has essentially told us they don't care and we're still on unlimited because they don't want to do the paperwork either.

It's not to say that "unlimited" can't be toxic, but it's easy to forget how onerous other systems can be, which can lead to you taking less time off in the same way. One of my friends is the junior on their team on a fixed PTO system and is being forced to take nearly random days off now in order to have any at all because they didn't get their holiday plans in as early as their more senior team members, so now they're stuck with the dregs. Toxic cultures are gonna be toxic. The framing just changes the mechanism.
My only gut reaction to this is a bit of surprise. There are almost limitless variations of the "Linux Desktop", but Windows still wins out in your mind as the correct way to run a desktop.

This article is long on emotions and short on… anything else, really. Data, for starters, or an understanding that individual events don’t determine the truth or falsity of claims like that institutional racism is real and present in America.
