Sounds like a toxic workplace environnement. I'm grateful that my bank/employer cares about our work/life balance. A burnout employee is not a productive employee.

I've stopped applying to place where they are not upfront with their PTO / Salary brackets. It sounds like you don't want people to take their PTO.
I don’t think a negative feedback cycle could exist that doesn’t introduce a huge vulnerability to a Nakamoto consensus. It is the pure externality of the metric (as opposed to chain balances or state) that makes it work in a trustless and censorship resistant way. How does one even decide a reasonable “limit” to hash rate. I want sufficient security such that when new power generation tech comes online it does not threaten the history of the chain. If we have to drive a tank to work, ok, better than getting hit by stray rifle fire on the highway.

I think the reality is no L1 can scale to digital cash for the everyone on planet to allow L1 txs. we need more layers and more innovation in transaction aggregation and transaction primitives, such as covenants.
My point is that DEBUG level logging is (hopefully!) not on by default, and that this is what it makes the production log volume manageable.

My experience has been that 1 customer-facing byte tends to generate something like ~10 DEBUG-level telemetry bytes. This level of request amplification can't be feasibly sustained at nontrivial request volumes, your logging infrastructure would dwarf your production infrastructure.

Operating under the assumption that most replies are from US citizens: the people of the US have a love/hate relationship with taxes. Most of the time theyre fine with taxing others so that they could reap the benefits, they just dont want to be taxed themselves.
> The reason to do this is to collude to bar the exits to capital flight, and then impose exploitative policies that would not have been possible previously.

Exactly! If a private organization tried something like this most major governments would be rushing to enforce anti-trust regulations against them. But when it's the governments colluding to set price floors, suddenly that's acceptable?

No, you still need a datetime picker.

That's because by design <input> does not let you configure a timezone (EDIT: nor a datetime format), and it's always somehow badly detected/misconfigured on a small subset of your users. Later you find out the user thought they were entering a DD/MM/YYYY date, while the browser decided it's getting MM/DD/YYYY, and hijinks ensue. It's easy to ensure the correct timezone on js pickers.
Saying you're a mission focused company and this being somehow controversial is ridiculous. Every company should be mission focused.

As his post demonstrates, it turns out to not be controversial at all. A handful of people left and after a few weeks the Twitter mob stops. Then you're left with reasonable people to do the job, which is the point of any company.

Corporate tax in general is the wrong type of taxation.

Corporate tax can be controlled by the company itself. If you run your business economically, you pay more corporate tax. This is just wrong.

Fair!

But I think the Founding Fathers specifically had a vision for the nation that was transformative. And it actually goes all the way back to European Philosophers like John Locke.

The U.S. Constitution has embedded within it the Enlightenment observations that created the modern world. I believe these observations were profound. I also believe that's why we aren't on the the 5th republic. Despite being a young country, we have the oldest constitution on the planet.

And much of the trouble we are in as a planet is that the enlightenment itself is under siege. It's worth it at this time of turmoil to consult history with a bit of prudence.
Is this a moral/ethical, polemical, or a legal argument?

Yeah, that's why so many ships are registered to specific countries too, so they can operate with looser restrictions. It's basically "offshoring" but for the regulations. When I worked in fisheries, I remember seeing so many boats registered to Panama, and never knew why:

Aside from that your comparison with Europe is quite flawed (there are plenty "at-will employment" type of constructions possible here, you don't get unemployment benefits if you quit yourself, etc.) these are all tech workers who have new employers lining up to hire them. They are not blue collar workers in an Amazon warehouse who have to relieve themselves in a bottle and get terminated by an algorithm for failing to meet quota's.

But besides all that I fail to see how any of what you just said are arguments to make the workplace a political Twitter-style fight pit?

It's not a "just-bought" onion. What grocery store sells an onion with an eight inch sprout coming out of it? At least in the U.S. such an onion would be unsellable, which is why I think they found this one in a bag somewhere and decided to plant it.
My point is that positions like Brian's require there to be a clear and bright line between "political" and "not political". I think it's at least slightly easier to draw that line in European workplaces where the nature of employment is not as politically fraught.

Just to take two of your examples: feminism and trans rights. Both have healthcare implications. Your employer controls your healthcare. Should the healthcare provided by your employer cover birth control? Abortion? Conversion therapy? This mix is inevitable.
I'd argue the biggest glaring exception is advertising. I'd also add all kinds of rent-seeking behavior, a prime example of which are business models relying on abusing intellectual property regulations. And then you have a whole laundry list of business models and tricks that are socially negative but yield nice profits - various incarnations of "razor and blades" model, or the distressingly common in appliances sector - and now in computing hardware too - practice of replacing parts of a product with lower-quality substitutes in subsequent batches, without changing the SKU.

My own opinion is that profits and social value have become mostly misaligned a few decades ago already.

"To be clear, wafer agreements are signed 2-3 years before the chip makes it into HVM and TSMC can build fabs faster than that so there will be no N3 shortages for anyone who signed a wafer agreement (apple, AMD, NVIDIA, QCOM, etc…). If they need more chips than what they signed up for, which happens, there may be shortages. This is how TSMC and the foundry business works. It’s all about the wafer agreements."

I am not a non technical user, and I know how this works.

Btw, you are not correct. The entire history of the chain and balances is protected by the hashrate. With sufficient energy you can rewrite history. This is because every block secures the blocks before it. Yeah checkpoints can be used to force a known sync point, but this vastly undermines the decentralization of the chain.

> No, it could not. Cryptography can make it as difficult as necessary.

This is just a failure of imagination. The API could be as restrictive as necessary to ensure privacy.

For example, maybe an app is only authorized to upload specific fields of data and a maximum rate.

How does an app only allowed to upload 10 int32 metrics per day going to secretly upload even a single photo?

> Not even going to touch how unacceptable it would be for Apple to require that it be able to inspect all internet traffic from a person's phone.

There are lots of options for how to implement things so that Apple isn't getting copies of private photos or chat messages. Apple is certainly more trustworthy and accountable than a random app developer from a random foreign country.

Personally, I want a smartphone/app ecosystem that is completely free of any centralization. I'm just talking about how Apple could improve their proprietary/centralized system, which actually does make some of these kinds of things simpler.
I just want to know what the mission was.

Did they launch more features? Make more money?
"Usurped" as in : never ever there was this much progress in history and linguistic since the postmodern invested the fields, and now that postmodernism is present in the archeology field, we have done discoveries that were not even envisionned before. For some reasons it was taken a bridge too far (imo, but i can be wrong, i'm not really interested in the field) in sociology, but still, never read anything better than Bourdieu.

Also, Postmodernism in philosophy and sociology is built against Marxism (and Freudism), so i don't really understand the association here.

I'm finding myself deep in black and doom metal while coding. Both genres are kind of droning with very saturated sound spectrums, the main diffrence is the tempo of the songs really.

It does not need an exception. The thing about the filibuster rules is that they are only rules if the members of the Senate agree that they are. At any point they can change the rules, and can even just decide that a particular piece of legislation or legislative activity is so important that it can bypass the rules. A multi-national agreement that raises corporate tax rates on US companies operating outside the US is pure win for the party currently in control of both the legislative and executive branch; it plays well with the electorate, it is easy to weaponize against your opponents, and the actual impact to the companies caught up in the changes will not be as unpleasant as they may claim in public.
Yes because the law mandates they charges higher rates than the USPS. If FedEx could sell first class mail (envelopes) in volume, they could do it profitably.

So it turns out that "But corporations would just move somewhere else" wasn't a valid argument against raising corporation tax all along, and countries could have agreed this 100 years ago.

Now let's create a wealth tax using the same international approach. The treaty could say that each country should have a wealth tax of say 8%, with the first $100m being tax free. For comparison, the average US household has a net worth of $120k and pays $10k in taxes every year.

If a billionaire lives in a country that doesn't join the treaty, then the countries which have joined can refuse to allow that billionaire to travel to or through their territory, or own any assets in their jurisdiction.

Do you by complicity [1] mean the critical social justice concept that all white (or people that believe in classical liberal culture) people are complicit in the maintenance and harms of systemic racism (stopping a perfect equity utopia) and white supremacy (continuation of individualistic western liberalism, instead of collectivist group-based critical social justice)?

[1] https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-complicity/

Edit: changed terminology from "classical white" to "classical liberal" culture. It diverges from critical social justice dogma by doing this, making my attempt at communicating with a Critical Social Justice adherent less in their language, but is hopefully clearer.

> No one is going to tell you in an interview that they are going to be unreliable, abusive, pompous, or never show up to meetings on time. People might claim they have “signals” for these things…

I had a great interview with one of the FAANG companies. The technical interviews, 6 of them in a row!, felt more like they were wanting to see me fail spectacularly rather than focus on my approach of solving whiteboard problems. Still, I did more than average to get "pass" from them. But HR dropped me because she didn't like the answer to "what's your weakness?" question along the lines of - "I focus too much on job at hand to an extent that I struggle with work-life-balance and working on it. If I can overcome that and learn how to take breaks timely I might be more productive.". HR didn't like it because it was not one of the canned responses she was expecting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I thought what you wrote wasn't valid because xx isn't defined in the scope of the inequality... however I now realize that's because Hacker News deletes the asterisks. In any case, it's

[x [asterisk] x for x in [1,2,3,4] if x[asterisk] x < 10]

which is still a little annoying because the x [asterisk] x gets computed twice. This is one of those little details that really annoys mathematicians, as I saw with SageMath for decades (I started SageMath -- which uses Python -- and got no end of complaints about the above). In the Magma programming language there is a "where" version of comprehensions that eloquently solves this problem as explained here: http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/handbook/text/10

For example,

{ xx : x in [1 .. 4] | xx lt 10 where xx is x*x}

which you can try at http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/calc/

My understanding is that schemes are often employed to shift profits that occurred in high tax regimes to lower tax ones. E.g. company registers their IP to subsidiary in <low_tax_nation>. That subsidiary charges crazy royalties for the rest of the company to use the IP in <high_tax_nation>. The effective earnings in the high tax regime is low or zero because of the “cost” of licensing the IP. Meanwhile the subsidiary in low tax land makes bonkers profits on some extremely lucrative licensing.

You can try to shut down these shenanigans playing legal whack a mole, but the law moves slower than the corporations. Or you can just set a global floor on taxes and not have to worry about keeping up with the latest corporate nonsense.
> I'm not saying that "you're wrong", I'm convinced that it's being done, but imho SCOTUS should overturn this style of treaty.

SCOTUS should overturn the Congress exercising using the legislative process to do things expressly within its legislative powers on...what basis?

OTOH, congressional-executive agreements aren't new, and have been litigated quite a bit. Heck, SCOTUS has even held a particular one to be included in the delegation by Congress of jurisdiction over treaty interpretation cases to the Courts of Appeal over a century ago. B. Altman & Co. v. United States, 224 U.S. 583 (1912).

Benefits? It all depends on the type of "gamer" a person is.
Those are in three groups:
- the completionist
- the competitor
- the creator/tester

The first one is all about completing. It could be getting a game to 100%, hunting trophies or achievements, you name it. They aren't usually invested in the competition, unless they have to in order to complete something.

The second one is all about going toe to toe with other players. Think CS:GO competitive gaming. Those are folks who just want to be the best (better than all the rest). For them, it's the first spot on the leaderboard that counts. They are often, but not always, good with communication due to having to communicate quickly and efficiently with other players and/or teammates.

The third one is more of an experimenter. A sort of "gaming scientist", if you will. They don't usually care about completion or the competition. They want to push the boundaries of the game to its limits and sometimes even break the game altogether. Minecraft players are a very good example but even this needs a caveat, since all minecrafters aren't into creating/testing the world of the game. Some complete. Some compete. Creators are those who try to understand the mechanics of a game and build something new on top of it. The best example here would be a Minecraft player who built a functioning computer inside the game. Look it up, it's nuts.

Each of those gives certain benefits that others don't (for instance, the competitors are usually better at making split second decisions and/or thoughtful decisions, depending on the game genre).

Another benefit of gaming, aside from the obvious escapism, is that the players get a better hand-eye coordination. A study I read a few years back said that surgeons who played video games were better with their hand movements than those who did not play regularly.

Yet another benefit could be language learning.
I can attest myself that games in a foreign language will slowly but steadily teach the player words.
For instance: I was born in Poland and didn't know a lick of English. I've been playing games for over 23 years. I learned to write, speak, read, and understand English to the point I speak it better than my native language.
Granted, I game a lot and some people play casually, which changes the efficiency of this claim of mine.

My point is this: games, as much as they are a tool to distract ourselves from the grey life we live, have proven benefits, be it logical thinking, language learning, better hand-eye coordination, you name it.
It's only a question of moderation, because addiction is always a very real possibility.
