> have to announce advancement opportunities to existing employees (something many companies shy away from).

Why? Isn't hiring from within a win for employer and employee? I don't speak HR. Training up on culture and product is a huge deal sometimes.
Reading on Kindle solve the problem!
The less the reader arm has to move the faster seeking should be.

So if you place the swap near the rest of the files the hdd arm will not need to move so much.

Given that this was pretty much a clean Linux install I would assume that most files where at the start of the disk close to the best swap location.
My point was they do trash the streets, somewhat on purpose, during the day you don't, but at night it's okay to pile the trash near the other piles of trash. It's only clean because they clean it thoroughly. Any other city could have that same staff and keep a city clean like that.

It's not culture specifically, it's city management.
Because it's death and it's easy to understand over long covid.

And at the economic and government level, there exists a calculus for determining the "value" of a citizen to determine whether to address a situation.

There's a good Planet Money episode on this. [1]

"They say a human life is worth about $10 million."

It's a pretty messed up thing to try and determine, the dollar value of a person's life, but if you have to make tough policy decisions then it's a tool.

It's not a blanket statement about a state but the legislature which is much smaller group of people.
It it applying symmetry to an asymmetrical relationship.

One company can go pretty long without hiring a given position.

One person cannot go very long without taking a job.

It is a detriment to the worker to not have good salary information, and the cards are clearly stacked in the employers' favor. Thus, government action.
Do you see a better solution to sweatshops and other indentured-servitude-like setups?

(If you don't think those sorts of things need solutions, then I expect we're not going to find any common ground, though.)

> It’s kind of insane if you think about it through that lens.

No, it's not. If that's the case, then you also have to believe that any kind of regulated commerce is insane, and I don't think that's a reasonable position to take.
What the hell kind of response is this? You try to puppet Popper's work, I tell you that's not at all what he said, you affirm you never read any of it and complain it's unreasonable to expect you to read it.........
Okay, so it’s not 92-specific. Huh. I wonder if it’s related to the US hurricane problems somehow.
Is wearing a sports team jersey deeply unhealthy? What about wearing a political hat?

People like being in tribes, and they like standing for something. They love signaling those affiliations.

If someone can get paid to join a tribe on a mission they identify with, if they get to say things like “We are accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable transport!” without the extraordinary stress of being an entrepreneur, why quash that?
> Bukele (el Presidente of El Salvador) took to Twitter to urge citizens to buy on the dip in prices.

We really are living in the simulation when the President of a country is carrying out a pump and dump scam.
If the swiss have a vested interest in pursuing a french person for a specific reason, the Swiss can and will exert that power. No clue why HN for some reason thinks a tech company can just skirt the law here for the sake of some crusade of 100% privacy. Newsflash, it doesn't exist.
But now it needs to be recharged:(
This gets complicated though. Is AirBnB a tech company? A simple analogy to the article would suggest no, AirBnB is a hotel company.

However, the actual "hotels" are owned and operated by AirBnB hosts, and AirBnB does not derive significant competitive advantage from the quality of their administration, beyond the value of having a large number of hosts on the platform. AirBnB is fundamentally an information company. Its real competitive advantage is that it owns the channel to the customer, it has a really good search function, and it also owns all the data that makes up reputation-management system that's critical to good hotel reservations. These are all tech areas; AirBnB can afford to lose a bunch of venues, even really good venues, but if it loses the review database a good portion of its competitive advantage goes away.

There was a time when lots of people believed Netflix's key competitive advantage was the recommendation algorithm and viewing history. I'm not certain we're in that world anymore - Netflix seems to care a lot more about content than recommendations these days - but I can see why Netflix would've been considered a tech company back then.
Why not? It's not the case that all states and countries have the same policies.
This is analogous to disclosure laws which forces companies to disclose company information that may influence investors decisions. If it makes sense to force companies to disclose financial information to potential investors then it makes sense to force companies to similarly disclose salary ranges to prospective employees.
I'd like to see a law forcing companies to pay everyone $1,000,000/year. Then we'd all be rich. It's so easy, I can't believe no one has thought of it before. Just force people to do stuff.
>> Unmediated transactions of a certain scale don't require any government oversight

What is this scale? As far as I know you only get away with this because no one knows or cares to enforce the law in that case. But police have been known to shut down kids lemonade stands for not having all the right permits, so I don't believe this is actually true in the law.

I would be happy if this was the case: I used to hire people all the time to do odd jobs for me, but I feel like it's too costly and too legally risky to actually be worth it for me, so I just don't do it anymore. And the people I used to hire aren't exactly relieved.
I also use Xero for a nonprofit. They seem to be trapped in a growth mindset to the exclusion of finishing half-baked functionality, but still better than QuickBooks, IMO. Their support is also a lot easier to reach, compared to Intuit, and the folks at Xero seem to know their product better, too. Luckily, our accountant was perfectly fine figuring out Xero.

While it's said to see more software go to subscription models, I will gladly pay Xero more for better functionality. Or until I roll my own, which I keep threatening, but never get around to.
I'm going to be making a video about how I turned an Asus PN50 into an AP using Linux NAT but tbh the performance is pretty bad (but good enough for my home office)... It's also possible I'm configuring it wrongly. The general principles should be the same as RPi and even the net configuration is likely to be identical.

Rpis are notorious for just dying though. You may want to consider something more robust. Don't know if it's SSD corruption or what.
This pre-supposes that doing anything pro-applicant is somehow a benefit to a company. Many of the things you've said are a benefit for the company, but many are not and are instead cultural.

"It's to a company's benefit to miss twenty qualified applicants than to hire a single unqualified one." This one is true, but not universally. The assumption baked in is: Interviewing more candidates is less expensive than hiring an unfit candidate and then letting them go. That's usually true, which is why this piece of advice is brought up so frequently.

"It's to a company's benefit to miss twenty qualified applicants than to reveal their salary range during negotiation to a single one." The assumption baked in is: You "the company" will save money by never revealing salary info; by revealing salary range you're giving up dollars you could have negotiated for with the candidate. The money spent interviewing candidates who you can never hire is less than the money you'll save through the lower salaries you can negotiate for because you don't reveal pay info. This is also mostly true, since you can save so much over time through negotiating a lower salary.

"It's to a company's benefit to lose twenty qualified employees than to promote anyone from within." The baked in assumption is: Promoting from within is more expensive or yields worse results than hiring externally. In general, this is usually not true to a point. I'm not saying hiring a factory line worker to be the new CEO is a good "hire from within" practice. Hiring from within when there are jobs based around similar skill sets but variations in focus area/responsibility level is probably a good idea. After all, why spend a lot of money looking outside for someone who is good at X when you already know a load of people who are good at W or Y, which are very close to X. It's the same reason that referral programs are such good ways of finding candidates: it acts as a fantastic filter. The reason it's often not done is largely because skill gaps (or perceived skill gaps) are too big for a role change.
I recently started a new job where our main product is accessed by a browser (your typical SaaS vendor), and from what I understand we mostly focus on compatibility with Chrome and IE11. Edge using Chromium will probably mean that in the future we will only support Chromium. We mostly target corporate users so I was a bit surprised, as I thought corporation used Firefox LTS more than Chrome, but that seem to be not the case.

This is one of those things that's going to make it harder for Firefox to have market share, and help Chromium. I guess the only thing I could do about it is work for a company that has Firefox compatibility as a business goal. It's a bit depressing.
Correct. They correlate though. In practice going half speed would probably be better, giving the brain time to recognize the unusual dialect.

> Why on earth would Apple want to build a car?

I am wondering about the same question. Cars are not a high-margin business.
> It's called the mall and that is basically the rule.

Depends on the state:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruneyard_Shopping_Center_v._R...

> A state can prohibit the private owner of a shopping center from using state trespass law to exclude peaceful expressive activity in the open areas of the shopping center.

[snip]

> This holding was possible because California's constitution contains an affirmative right of free speech which has been liberally construed by the Supreme Court of California, while the federal constitution's First Amendment contains only a negative command to Congress to not abridge the freedom of speech. This distinction was significant because the U.S. Supreme Court had already held that under the federal First Amendment, there was no implied right of free speech within a private shopping center.

However, there's further limits to what a private company can do to free speech:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama

> Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501 (1946), was a case decided by the US Supreme Court, which ruled that a state trespassing statute could not be used to prevent the distribution of religious materials on a town's sidewalk even though the sidewalk was part of a privately-owned company town.

[snip]

> In its conclusion, the Court stated that it was essentially weighing the rights of property owners against the rights of citizens to enjoy freedom of press and religion. The Court noted that the rights of citizens under the Bill of Rights occupy a preferred position. Accordingly, the Court held that the property rights of a private entity are not sufficient to justify the restriction of a community of citizens' fundamental rights and liberties.
So that's why I ended up being so excited about this job with a Colorado company. Plot twist, developers prefer openings posted by Colorado employers.
Just like if you filed a report against a neighbor for domestic violence, you’re allowed to report crime on Citizen style or Neighborhood app or WhatsApp groups. Are any of these things public information?
Lol those brands didn't randomly go to those manufacturers, Maserati is owned by FCA/"Stellantis" and Lamborghini is owned by VAG.

I can't believe people are seriously entertaining the idea that a major auto manufacturer would need Tesla to make cars for them.

At that point what is the manufacturer bringing? Tesla's totally-not-marketing has brought them more cachet than anyone "boring" like Ford or Toyota
Look at it from another angle. We know, as a fact, that if companies pay below a certain level, then their workers end up using public funds for help - food vouchers, subsidies, housing benefits.....all because they aren't being paid enough.

So basically, you as a tax payer, as subsidizing someone's business so they can have cheap labour.

It's kind of insane if you think about it through that lens. Social benefits exist to help those who fall on hard times, not to give shitty companies cheap workers.

My wife and I use Qubes as our daily driver on personal machines.

I think the law is built as sort of a convoluted legal Rube Goldberg machine to sneak around existing case law about abortions, so all of these weird constructions are to avoid doing something that's already been ruled unconstitutional.
No downvote here but it's that. We're used to people talking about a place that doesn't exist usually so we're touchy about it.

But the law is crazy, unconstitutional and would start a tit-for-tat form of legislating that would completely delegitimize whatever legitimacy the government has left.

Note, the legislature is weird. It meets every other year, is basically a second job. Not sure Cali's professionalization of politics is better, but something has to give.
I do sympathize as I spend a lot of my time maintaining distro packages.

But I also fear that in this new world of golang and rust projects with statically linked libraries, few people take their reporting responsibilities seriously. Hell, if they did, a serious vulnerability in a commonly used library would result in an avalanche of CVEs.
Oh, and they will probably jack up your subscription price, too, if my experience with Quickbooks Online in the states is anything to go by.

Here's the message I received after paying US$425/year for a few years:

Your QuickBooks Online Plus subscription will increase to $755 per year, plus tax where applicable on your next billing date on or after December 1, 2019

That's a 78% increase in the annual subscription price.

After getting this message and consulting with my accountant, I decided to DOWNGRADE the account to QBO Essentials, which is about US$310/year.

I would dump Intuit and its software permanently if I could. They are parasites on small businesses and individuals who get tricked into paying for their tax software.
I'm on Colorado and all our internal promotions are opened on the internal job board (greenhouse) even if we already have a candidate in mind.

1. The candidate has an opportunity to show how interested and qualified they are (or if the person we had in mind doesn't want the job)

2. Other people we didn't think would be interested have the same opportunity to show they do.

3. No one ends up feeling slighted for having been passed over.
I would rather edit, but it’s too late for that.

So, just to be clear, in case there is any doubt. There is no sarcasm here.

I genuinely appreciate the response, and am genuinely curious.

That’s all.

If a company offers $1 as their minimum, then applications will know they are a joke. They will have to keep moving this minimum up and up to be taken more seriously.

If a company offers $50k as a minimum for a role that most people earn $200k for, then they probably will not get many good people responding to it since who would want to work for a company that could lowball you by $150k? And another company can see that and up their minimum to take advantage.

It just helps weed the garbage employers out quickly. Perhaps it will not be as useful in a situation where employers have all the negotiating power where they can list $1, but at least now there is some time saved.
It's a serious shame that this was flagged.
Well, sorry about that, this submission has sex toys. This will be your #1 submission. You still have three wishes.
Exactly. We should also require by law that candidates provide the range of salaries they're willing to accept on their resumes before submitting any applications. For efficiency's sake, of course.
Wasn't half of weev's charge for unauthorized access related to him scripting up automated GET requests? It's not clear to me that it is definitely legal IANAL

This book is incredible. Super well-written and informative on a previously opaque topic, with information delivered in a conversational, approachable way. And the fact that it has _so much_ content crammed in, AND is offered for free on the Internet, is just crazy to me.
> Your snark isn't warranted.

Honestly, given the comment being replied to started with "go and actually read" I think the snark is warranted if they want. Also, for what it's worth I think they were trying to modulate that snark a bit by using "friend".

If it's truly easy to realize what is being asked, a pointer in the right direction is useful. If it does require a lot of work, then providing some evidence to at least get someone started if not an actual reference would be called for.

In any case, I'm not sure a comment that boils down to "if you actually read X, you'd know that what you just said is wrong" is worth defending, regardless of whether you think it's factually correct or not. You could have just pointed out that there was evidence of this position and left it at that.

For what it's worth, I only bothered to reply because you're not the only person that took the comment that way. The strongest possible interpretation of the prior comment is "This isn't helpful to me. If you're going to state I'm wrong, please provide more information on how so I can address that usefully" which I think is a vary valid complaint to what it was responding to. Interpreting snark where it doesn't necessarily exist or providing additional snark in your own in response (not that you did this) isn't a useful way to move the discourse forward.
You're right. It's kind of like marijuana legalization. The feds refused to but it's almost become defacto law of the land when enough states do it themselves.
20 is an extremely low estimate. It is more like the greater of N solutions for N teams, and M solutions for M people.
Yes, but those experiments have nothing to do with consciousness
"Deputized" has a precise meaning in this context: the state is substituting private citizens for officials in order to commit official acts.

Individuals shaming other individuals for "expressing opinions" are not "deputized," since there's no official act. We can talk on and on about whether it's it's good or not, but it's nowhere near as dangerous as states end-running civil liberties by appointing private citizens to do their dirty work.
It looks like they're using one 10x10 array of electrodes?

With say the traditional EEG electrodes, they seem to cover all over the head (some with say around 128 electrodes).

I understand that they'd get a higher quality signal, but is the fact they're only using electrodes over one area of the scalp a disadvantage?

Unfortunately it's a small jump to thinking, "somebody elected these people" and then projecting those sentiments widely. Anyway, that's what I've learned about talking about Texas and California broadly. I've lived in both states and have both negative and positive things to say about each, but when I criticize them I've figured out I have to be very concise about describing with who and what I find wrong in order to have my opinion heard and respected.
I don't know why he used the term "efficient batteries". I don't really know what that means and basically agree with you. Ford doesn't have great driving efficiency, but it doesn't matter as they've solved for that by using a really big battery.

However, they seem to be severely limited in production capacity due to the limited number of cells available. Right now, everyone other than Tesla seems to be hitting that issue, and Tesla is at least a year ahead. More if they can actually get the 4680 lines running on schedule, but that's a big if.
This might backfire on employees that ask for a raise, but won't get it because the employer feels like they'd have to give everyone else raises.
Aren't ECS systems much older?

I remember reading about them in my CS studies, and that was pre 2011.
That looks like a complete and total miscarriage of justice...
Without commenting on whether this patent should be granted or not, I really don't think it is about ECS in general. The patent has to do with an automated system for organizing component data into arrays and chunks. The key word being "automated". You give it definitions for component data, start creating entities with combinations of those components, and it does all the rest (at runtime).

There might very well be prior art for that as well but any ECS system where the layout scheme has been defined in advance would not be relevant one way or the other. At least that is my read of all of this.
Effective solutions amount to "solve poverty, and/or socio-economic divides in housing distribution".

By that I don't mean that we shouldn't try, but we should, ideally, work toward actually solving the problem, which means schools aren't the front-line for this change. There's a reason we spend so much on schools—hell, some of the worst here pay the best and get tons of extra (federal, state) money—for such poor outcomes, and it's because that's the wrong place to be focusing that effort. It's like trying to lift a boulder by hand, unaided, versus with heavy machinery & rigging. You can put in so much effort and yet the boulder doesn't move.
I'm curious who sold off a bunch to drop the price like that.
