Some can. But hiring people in another country adds another layer or two of indirection.

Anecdotally, software companies that pay the best tend to go the opposite direction: they hire people that are good at self directing and self motivating, which can remove entire layers of indirection.

I live near a city in the Midwest US which has well-defined borders due to being enclosed by major interstate highways and other townships. There is no room for the city to "spread out." The only way to add more housing is to knock down old buildings and 2-story houses homes to make way for multi-unit apartments and condos.

The city is overwhelmingly liberal across all age groups yet the population is pretty evenly divided into those who want more housing/development and those who believe the city is losing its character and charm with such rapid change. I've only been here a short while and many parts of the city look radically different now than they did a decade ago.
>But it seems like most of our problems are caused by overpopulation.

That's too broad of a generalization and not true globally, some countries problems are exactly because of underpopulation. The problem isn't homogeneous throughout the world. It's highly dependent on what populations you're talking about and their circumstances.

>Fields like production, retail, maintenance, etc. would have less workers, but also proportionally less demand.

In some developed countries where recently the birthrates hover very slightly to sometimes below replacement rates can lead to a whole hosts of problems. For example take into account age proportionality as a result of extremely low birthrates in Japan, an ever increasing older and retired population does not have enough younger labor to produce good/services for basic societal function. There's also problems of gender imbalances like in India or China also causing massive issues in the coming generations.

I don't think that it's caused by Conservatives alone... but I'm not sure I understand the point you are making with the sentence following? Millennials want to buy houses, regardless of parental status. Low interest rates and help to buy schemes (some of which have ended, some of which aren't that helpful) you'd think would help...

except that house prices have increased so severely (15% since before pandemic), and you have a generation particularly concerned by debt already due to student loans etc, not earning any more money than they were before, now suddenly faced with taking on a 95% mortage. Why on gods green earth would anyone want to add kids to that mess? If the baby boomer generation passed any lessons down, it's that stability in childhood is an absolute must. These are not conditions even remotely representing stability.

As someone who bought into the new VR revival right away and followed the development of the initial headsets as closely as someone outside the companies developing them could, and has owned and currently owns multiple headsets, I can tell you my experience with VR is performance is very key, and that standalone VR is pretty garbage.
VCs and senior executives are largely hesitant to randomly go hire from any random country, eastern European or not. Unless there is an established city, like say, Bucharest. Most managers don't want to deal with 1 person in each random city. Having an official office in a big EU city is no brainer. It is being done as well.

Unrelated: A friend of mine had a well established Vodka factory in Crimea/Ukraine randomly taken over by some goons.

> I think by the time we even care about the performance of a plugin being "golang" fast

I certainly care about it being faster than estree-*/babel. There are a lot of static analysis and optimization things I’d like to do that are slow enough in JS to negate a lot of ESBuild’s advantage.

> we will have rome built in rust.

> Rome will be the full kit and caboodle at native speeds (bundler, tree shaking compiler, linter, type checker, etc...), whereas esbuild will be the rome-lite for when you just want to bundle some code and have it done.

Is Rome-Rust doing something special to optimize arbitrary AST-based plugins written in JS? I hadn’t heard that but I’d be interested if it is.

Perhaps one of the most frequent, but surely nowhere near the majority. I'm guessing it's still an incredibly tiny portion of searches. The fact that Google Search also handles this case, for the likely tiny portion of cases where it occurs, seems totally reasonable to me, and hardly an indictment of any browser's UI paradigm.

In Germany the ID card costs 37 EUR and is valid for 10 years, reduced to 22.80 EUR and 6 years of validity if you're under 24. A passport is even more expensive. No other forms of identification are accepted, but it's also not really necessary since you're required to get an ID card anyways.
I'm not sure how you didn't see the list of "features" before you opted to buy the newer 3310, but anyway, today there are feature phones running KaiOS that really are not so different in features than what Nokia once offered.

The obligations are not owed to the Dutch, and I find extremely unlikely that the tax treaty includes language which says "the fee for renouncing citizenship, if unpaid, shall be paid to the Dutch". In the outlined scenario, no taxes are owed. What is not paid is the fee for renoucning, and what has not been done is filing the paperwork. So the question is whether the tax treaty covers this, and whether or not a Dutch court would try to act on behalf of the US government regarding these matters.

American companies can but the pool is not large enough to open offices there. And if they are opening international offices, it's likely going to be in Asia where there is more money to be made.

> If you exercise options you have to pay taxes on the difference between the strike price and the current fair market value, and in exchange you've gotten something which is very difficult to sell.

I am suggesting that you can choose to never exercise your options until there is a liquidity event and you can same-day-sell for raw income. This does require you to stay at the company until the liquidity event though.

I don't want to spend forever on this. Does anyone know where I can go?

I got an OQuest2 gathering dust. It's a pain in the ass. Trying to use the (£80!!) wire is devastating. I can't remember but every time you plug it in, it asks if you want to give access. Then you enter this `oculus` lobby but you want steam, so now you enable link, but before that, you need to set a guardian. So its OK OK OK ALLOW OK... each time taking it off to look at your PC screen just to see `steam vr` can't find my headset, so i put it on and off again and it doesn't work but eventually it does, then it says I can't find my controllers, just the headset, and I reset the headset and restart my PC, then back to OK OK OK ALLOW OK.

Then the game I bought it shit so I ALT-F4 in rage and I go back the `oculus` home screen in oculus, but `steam` is still running and tells me VR is fine so I launch a game and it runs on my desktop and my headset runs Steam home.......

Like, this is fucking total and utter garbage at the very highest levels of praise.

Assume it is a brick, landfill. I repeat my request, someone is saying "GrapheneOS`. What is that? Does it mean I own my headset in a good way?

While this is the largest space telescope it's not the largest telescope - for example the Vera Rubin Observatory optics (also shipped by boat down to Chile) are quite a bit larger (about 8.5 meters in diameter), even larger than the shipping container for the JWT (by about 3 meters). There's also a large shipping container specially made that handles a lot of the same problems.
Scale is the easiest way to make something cheap, and having a device targeted at every human rather than just school kids is going to be the best way to achieve scale.

> They started by taking fecal samples from 3- to 4-month-old mice—young adult mice, by human standards—and fed the slurry to geriatric 20-month-old rodents using a feeding tube twice a week.

How similar is the brain aging in a 20 month old mouse to the brain aging in a 70/80/90 year old human?

I think one of the biggest errors when looking at animal aging studies is assuming thinking that there is a linear relationship (for example 1 human year is 7 dog years, etc).

There's a lot of problems societally that happen when you go below replacement rate that are probably not being accounted for in that simulation. For example, the age proportionality can become massively fucked with populations that have a massive majority in retirement-aged people and people under working ages leading to extremely low working-age people. That type of collapse can also accelerate unpredictably since we don't have exact ideas on whether or not there is a "catastrophic threshold" that replacement rates can go under.

Are a lot of these 300k-500k TC positions putting in 40 hour work weeks or more?

I think that's worth bringing up because it's a huge factor at the end of the day. For example, getting 400k TC but you routinely put in 60-80 hours a week is much different than 40 hours a week.

Personally I would much prefer working 30-40 hours a week for X vs 60-80 hours a week for X * 2. The amount of taxes you pay in the X * 2 range are so massive you end up not getting anywhere near a true 2x amount in your bank account but you put in a true 2x amount of hours. Working 70 hours a week as a typical employee role isn't sustainable in my opinion.

This is exactly what I'm aiming to do with my guitar playing. To internalize the instrument so much that I can only focus on the music and not have to think about where and how I should use my fingers. I practice hard to be able to achieve this.

The thing is, I see the value in my guitar playing. But when I code, much of my time is spent thinking about what I'm coding, and much less for the actual typing and editing, so I don't really see the value for vim. That's why I finished the tutorial, but then never used it in actual coding. Purely my own opinion, of course.
Why not tell them you were never a US citizen and present them with a passport from another country?

One catch is that if the passport is like the UK or US passports (i.e. perhaps all?) it will show your place of birth, and if (like the UK Prime Minister) that was within the US, anyone with half a brain will know that from the US perspective, you were born a US citizen.

You don't ever pay taxes until you exercise options. Options cost you nothing as long as they remain vested options.
Another data point.

My salary is just above $200k. After 6% contribution to retirement (max my employer will match), and $25k a year set aside for employee stock purchase program (max I can set aside - our ESPP is really good), I get just under $10k a month in direct deposit.

My rent is $3k a month. My discretionary spending is also around $3k a month. So I save $4k a month (in cash).

I also get around $350k in stock compensation. A bunch get sold off to cover taxes, but I don't sell anymore, as I believe in the company, and it has done well in the last 2 years.

Altogether, I save above $250,000 a year - in vested stock, and cash.

It seems like a lot of HN readers are continually playing the "maximize salary" game and use like articles like this one to figure out how well they're doing. If you want to play that game, then good luck, have fun. I understand the desire.

But it's not for everyone. Are you able to live comfortably on $175k per year? Do you enjoy what you do and the people that you work with? If so, I don't think there should be any shame in staying where you are. Don't feel like you have to chase every last dollar.

I did my dating before social media really took off, but my intuitive sense is that, for people who want to eventually settle down with a partner, the game will settle out on pretty close to “an ass for every saddle” just like it always has and that people complained it was hard N*10 years ago for every value of N. It’s hard because it takes a lot of your mental energy and feels very high-stakes.

In the worst of the pandemic, I’ll adopt that it probably got legitimately harder, but that’s easing quickly now.
I agree that this is undesirable, and if the pitch here were to mandate that sellers enumerate ongoing requirements of their item at time of sale, I’d back that.
People who care about policies are concerned with this. People who care only about politics or skewing power might, but only if fixing this disproportionately helps their base.

Generally fixing this issue is done with very time intensive, high-touch non-profit work. States rarely put in the effort to assist the most complicated ID cases.

There are lots of old people in the Mississippi Delta who never got birth certificates and who can’t use the most common documents to prove citizenship/ eligibility to vote. IIRC they can try to petition a judge / court, but it is a big hurdle, especially for people who are not highly motivated to vote and are people who don’t drive. Some people are left behind, but I can’t find good stats/estimates of how many are affected.

Cinema4D is still ~$100 a month unfortunately. I prefer it’s interface to Blender, even with Blender’s recent UI updates. I don’t think my preference is strong enough to support forking over $100/month, though.

The others have a “lite” version or an indie subscription that is significantly cheaper. When you have those, and a lot of other software is is around $10-50 a month, C4D’s pricing is egregious.
There are several issues here- in the normal submission process if your game/app has issues they notify you- you remove it and resubmit- my store page had external urls in it which is against their written policy- they let me know and I removed them and resubmitted and there was no issue-

I was a given a chance to remove the urls that are against their policy-

With the Nft issue. 1) there is nothing in their written policy about Nft's so a dev has no guidance on the issue and 2) I was never given a chance to remove the two Qr codes in the game-

I found four separate games live on Steam with crypto/nft integration where you can buy/sell Nft's in game. Mine just had 2 QR codes- one url went to the contract address for the erc721 token- the other was a url to a rarible page for the Nft.

So this makes no sense to me.

I spammed them after 5 days and no replies- the release deadline was/is set for Oct 29th- Steam requires two weeks lead time after approval for your page to go live. I started the approval process October 2nd.

If you google/duckduckgo "steam support terrible" you'll find several articles going to back to 2015 and further about how bad their support is.

Up until this point with this game and our last game that is live on Steam my experience with Steam support has been great so this comes out of nowhere for me.
