"The rich world is used to wages and prices growing slowly. "

the minimum wage has not increased in a decade and real earnings have declined precipitously since the sixties for most americans who work longer hours for lower pay than ever. the rich world is used to profiteering, not pace.

"Wage growth is more mysterious."

Amazon and Walmart were faced with a rash of calls for unionization coupled with walkouts. wages were increased to undercut these efforts, but only as a last resort tactic of union busting. Covid ushered in a rash of unemployment which triggered personal debt in the form of delayed rent payments from eviction moratoriums that disproportionately applied to low-wage service employees. reopenings in these jobs exposed employees to the same low wages and deputized them all as mask enforcement officers to be harassed and shot at. this ensuing personal abuse that broke the camels back for the service sector resulted in many of them walking away to other opportunities when second-wave lockdowns ensued. time off means plenty of time to assess your alternatives in fields that dont scream at you for poverty wages.

"That means policymakers should focus on the labour supply"

Raise. The. Minimum. Wage. offer healthcare, parental leave, child care, and vacation for everyone. stop insisting everyone needs to go to college when theres a trucking and trade shortage, and for god sake stop referring to McDonalds as a "highschool" job to justify low wages when they open early and close late during school hours and the average employee is in their thirties.

> Which is great if you're talking about a personal project but if you're setting strategy for an org or team then you need a better metric than "how alive does it make you feel."

I don't think GP meant you base your strategy on "how alive Cue makes you feel". They simply meant the concepts are a good read and having read the Cue documentation before, I agree with it.
That is a high level of consensus for a field where the predictive models (which have been getting published since the 1980s) are extremely bad at predicting the future.

Last time I looked into it was about 10 years ago, but at that time, the models were garbage at actually predicting anything.

The climate is a complex system that is hard to model and hard to predict. Scientists in the field should admit this rather than overstating their certainty about any particular conclusion.

And catch-all statements that "we all agree on X!" seem particularly suspect. The merit of a scientific assertion is established by the clear exposition of reproducible facts, not survey results.

[EDIT] To be clear, the predictive power of the models is relevant to the question of causality because absent a controlled experiment (obviously impossible) or an exhaustive list of relevant statistical controls (also obviously impossible), establishing causality can only be done by developing an accurate (and thus predictive) model and using that model to measure causality.
Certainly a contrast to using the Apple Store yesterday during the M1 Pro/Max device launches. Was amazed that was able to stay up and responsive, 100% expect error screens during launches like this - though not normally from companies who have done so many launches.

Edit 1: Store back up now but still getting order errors...

Edit 2: An hour after launch, back to having store page errors...
I don't get it, wtf am I supposed to do with the images on the right hand side in the link?

I'm not interested in sharing moments, I just want to see a picture of the damn thing without having to watch the stupid video.
While I agree with the thesis, that humans are more likely than not to have caused climate change, I’m also forced to note that consensus is not a scientific approach for establishing matters of fact.

It does discredit to scientific research to publish papers like this and claim that “the science is settled.”
Not trying to be the devils advocate, but at one point almost everybody agreed that the sun revolved around the Earth.

The more ways there are to write in a language, the harder it gets to read the code of someone else using a different style guide, or with different preferences, than you. This matters a whole lot in a language so completely dependent on 3rd party libraries as JS is.

Not that I think this will hurt much, as the language and community fled that barn long ago. There are already 50 ways to do most things in JS, half of which will be present in your deps, and only 5 of which a typical active JS developer will happen to have stored in their brain at any given time.
> it would be interesting if iOS provided a service that allowed data to never leave the phone

But it would probably be even more interesting if you could send out, say, the adress of a Web page you wanted to see in your browser.
Ads breaking old games is so frustrating. I wanted to play Risk and downloaded the official app but the ads are broken such that they never "finish" and I have to kill the app and relaunch between games to continue. I'm happy to pay for removal but I refuse to pay without being able to try the game. Same story with PvZ, they added ads everywhere and ruined the game that I paid full price for. They don't even let you remove ads or restore purchases (which feels very wrong) until you've played the first 10 levels or so. I loved PvZ so much but EA ruined it completely.
I find the whole premise that we're not trying to follow the shortest path weird. In our _evolutionary_ surroundings if you turn towards the thing you want to get to, and then walk, you're pretty much following the shortest path.
Huh? The regulations on the hotel and tax industry are exactly what Uber and Airbnb succeeded by evading.
Maybe I'm misreading, but it seems you're looking at the work commitment from a perspective of "signing up to do a set amount of hours," whereas others are looking at it from a perspective of "signing up to do a set amount of tasks."

While full-time work is 40 hours of work per week by convention, as a salaried employee, I'm not really paid by the hour, right? I'm paid to get what I'm supposed to do done correctly and on time. There may be some weeks I do have more than 40 hours of work to do, but there may be others when I have less. I don't get paid more in the exceptionally busy weeks, but I don't get paid less in the relatively light weeks, either.

So, when you write,

> my understanding of the contract with an employer is that if someone is purposely doing less work than they've committed to, that's not good.

My take is that we're not talking about that -- we're talking about people doing all the work they have committed to in less time than expected. I am being paid to write and maintain documentation for a software product; my success at that task is not directly measured by the hours that I put in.

Now, if you're being paid for a full-time job and you're consistently able to do all your work in 20 hours a week or less, this is probably a warning sign -- either you're not communicating to your employer that they're not giving you enough work, or the employer simply doesn't have enough work for you. In the former case, you may eventually be seen as not pulling your weight even if you're technically doing everything you're asked to do, and in the latter, your company may decide that they just don't have enough work to keep paying you -- or the company may be in trouble. I have experienced all of those things at various points (including being let go after a short time because I "wasn't proactive" in trying to get people to give me work, which was not entirely true from my perspective, although in retrospect I was a lousy fit for that job).

But, I've also been positions where work was effectively cyclical. There were periods where I was working a lot and periods where there just wasn't much stuff in the pipeline yet. While the answer to your last hypothetical is "yes, I'd feel cheated," I'd also feel cheated if the employer adjusted my salary down during weeks they only had 20 hours of work a week for me to do.

To bring this around to the original thread, I think the problem with "two full-time remote jobs I'm at concurrently" is that even if you're being paid for the tasks rather than the hours, there is a commitment of availability. Even as a technical writer, I need to be available to answer questions and work on unexpected high-priority tasks, even hot fixes -- that's part of what I'm on salary for.

>Low 4 figures

I did not say low. It was a middling number which is madness.

>seems about right for a 6-10 hour job plus transportation costs and a helper.

6-10 hours to install a dryer circuit, with a helper? The job was going to take two hours max, with wire, box, outlet only costing about $75.
Sleep and Your Health: An Infographic
I've been writing about this subject. The tech revolution is coming. You have folks like Andrew Yang who is talking about UBI because this is coming. The message is right, but way too soon.

What matters most will be the maslow hierarchy of needs.

Clean water is around but certainly not widely available and we have some concerns about 'clean' if you read about endocrine blockers.

Food is nowhere near automated. When can produce food in a factory using a fraction of sq ft and virtually no labour. This will be key to the breakthrough. the problem with urban sprawl is that you eliminate and push away farming. Those farmers are pushed away from clean water and internet. Septic systems etc.

Roof and bed for everyone is coming along with 3d printed homes. You dont need crazy housing inspections and rules. It needs to be solid.

When the government or whoever comes in and provides these things, they become the world ruler.
> So, the solution? Uh, hmmmm...lemme get back to you on that.

Tax the excess from the wealthy industries and redistribute via whatever reasonably fair set of programs you happen to like. I know, I know, communism, yada yada. But that's the solution, and it's trivially proven to work. Basically every economy (including the USA) does this in a zillion ways already. It's just that "finance and software" haven't been among the victims so far so it seems like a disruption.

The point here isn't to provoke an argument about SoCIaLisM or whatever, just to point out that your feigned ignorance of working solutions isn't correct. We know how to fix this.
The Berkeley, California Public Library used to have an "after-hours reference librarian" on duty in the late 1970s or so. You could call up in the evening and ask them a question.

I remember once calling and asking how much Vitamin C was in an orange, waiting on hold for a minute or two, and then getting the answer.
This is of course assuming the profits aren't siphoned off into some offshore tax haven.
> Further, though Mr. Kail complained of problems with Sumologic (as one would see with any new startup), the product itself was “useful,” according to Ashi Sheth. (R.T. Vol. 8, p. 1670-71). As described below, at the time, Sumologic saved Netflix from paying for a far more expensive and inferior product called Splunk.

Wow! I was evaluating SumoLogic and Splunk in Netflix back then. Neither of them was suitable for our use cases. We ended up rolling out our own solutions. As far as I recall, the eng org didn't use Splunk or SumoLogic. Kail headed the IT department, though. Maybe they used SumoLogic.
Lots of comments here about how sentences are harsher for harming corporations and the extremely rich rather than common people. (See this case, Theranos, etc.)

Is it possible that Netflix is _funding_ (or providing substantial material support to) the prosecution of this case, a bit like we've seen in Chevron v Donziger?
Wow, great explanation! Now I really like this idea!
Ah yes, with it they can track our every transaction and sell it to advertisers.
I couldn't agree more. I feel like Hacker News is turning into a place where, especially for discussion of "popular" programming languages, the commenters seem to be largely those who don't have a solid foundation in the specific topic that's being discussed, but seem to believe they're experts because they've written a lot of code and have strong opinions on what code should look like.

Conversations about more esoteric languages seem to attract the level of discourse HN is otherwise known for.
The climate scientists I talked to are off the impression that a blue ocean event is not a thing they are concerned about. There are certainly experts who think it is a problem but I am not sure how fringe those are compared to the ones not worried about a blue ocean event.

There was another event page not long ago from google that was undone. E.g the FAQ page for this also looks a bit off. Not sure what is going on there.
Labor prices will return to normal once people run out of savings and stimulus checks.

Sounds like tech could be used to increase safety. How about a mask with emergency oxygen that detects when you pass out and administers the oxygen? Maybe location beacons similar to tacking undersea animals?
>what did you think it's supposed to cost?

Not $3600.

>i can't imagine it would cost less than $1000, even just running conduit inside the walls, instead of doing drywall.

No conduit required, no drywall required.
> It is not legal for someone working for Netflix to ask for shares in their own personal capacity as individuals

It can be, I think. If Netflix were properly informed of and signed off on the arrangement, it would just be an elaborate compensation mechanism. It would be a lot of paperwork. And they wouldn't approve that.
Thanks, makes sense, appreciate the reply!
I guess they are for journalists etc.? Like a live press pack?
Nim has been such a fun language to use. I make a money-earning desktop application (Electron for the GUI and Nim for the core logic) and companion web service (fully Nim). It has been a pleasure using Nim to make these and other things.

Many modern smartphones function as a reader (by installing the AusweisApp2) for many years now, see https://www.ausweisapp.bund.de/mobile-geraete/ for the compatibility list. No need to buy any additional hardware beyond what a lot of people already own nor is installing the app actually hard.
Wow. The marketing team for this have been taking very detailed notes on Apples presentation style. Products aside, this is almost identical to Apple's launch yesterday.
At that point, there’s a reversion to the mean too. If your parents got lucky, you probably won’t be as lucky. If your parents got unlucky, you probably won’t be as unlucky. And luck aside, you’re still going to be (on average) closer to average than your parents.
That doesn't make anything I said less valid. You just experienced the losers of the internal game of thrones, the question is "fired why?" and "how long did it take?"
> ... I’m going to favor my sanity.

As you should!

Perhaps my original comment was a bit flip and didn't properly outline the nuance.

The major points:

* there's a norm around hours for a full time job
* if employers and employees communicate openly about expectations (hours, output, whatever), it's all good
* if one side or the other violates the norms, adjustments should be made
Oh yeah, and building on this, this is also the source of the ability to actually store the pipeline element in the database, say in a column and apply it later that I mentioned in a comment below. That's one of the cool mind-bending things this allows.

The example I gave below was building on the example in the post, where we had thermometers. Except now think about if you have thermocouples and each thermocouple had its own calibration curve, and they were different types so they might even have different types of equations providing the calibration curve.

You can now store the pipeline that does the correct adjustments and calculates the actual temperature separately for each `device_id` and JOIN to the "calibrations" table to apply the calculation.

It's kinda crazy, but really cool and I'm hoping to do a post on that whole thing at some point to encourage people to play around with it and see what sorts of things it allows...

You're both just making the case that you shouldn't use vim to write code.

More modern editors (e.g. VS Code) and modern IDE's (e.g. IDEA, CLion, Visual Studio) make either indenting absolutely trivial.
Have you ever owned one? It's quite nice actually to be able to rest your finger on the bump for stability when you're using the phone with one hand, and it lets you kind of easily prop the phone up on a wallet/notebook/whatever's around when you're reading something while eating.
In addition to the sibling comment, a low percent chance is very different from a 0% chance. Think of it as Trump being a first-time gambler who wins the jackpot.
Maybe, though by comparison to Google one of Apple's pretty well-known selling points is having actual support by real people available at all times.
They could re implement the solution in AWS to use Serverless

Only pay per requests: API Gateway/Lambda/Dynamo

Then there's no fixed costs or the need to share these services with unrelated services.

Works great for dev/staging environments (will probably cost 1$ per month each for low usage) and even prod could go a long way before becoming "expensive"

(We're doing that a lot in my company, the CDN caches 85% of requests coming to our serverless stack, with most responses having only 1/2 min cache times)

Does it really measure IQ? Memorizing the most common algorithms and data structures will eventually land you a good job if you try several times.

For example:
Binary search
Tree traversals
Graph searches
Sort algorithms
Interesting Trees(Trie, RedBlack, etc)
Etc many other common data structures or algorithms

If you memorize the implementation of those. You only need to make sure you understood the problem and check for edge cases.

What I have seen is that a lot of people struggle in the interview because they lose a lot of time trying to implement the algorithms but sometimes know how to get there
I don't know why Android OEMs keep thinking they can get away with controversial design choices and high prices as if they were Apple. (not sarcastic :P)
Corrective action:

Raise consumer purchasing power by fulfilling unmet demand.

Only by solving the issue of supply, such as housing near jobs / where people want to live, will prices and thus purchasing power correct.

Why is the cost of X so expensive? Rent. For workers, for employers looking for a space to operate, for everyone.
that's old
How do you get any scientific field to agree 99.9%? I don't think you could even get these numbers for particle physics. Is science no longer about attempts at falsification? Or is the game derision of those with non-apocalyptic perspectives?
Sorry I should have been precise and said dispatch able one per clock cycle, not latency one clock cycle. Amortized over pipelined operations with no dependencies, the net cost of such an operation is one clock cycle.

Anyways I checked it, it's DPPS, and it is a 25 clock cycle latency operation, with a throughput that yields an amortized 6 clock cycle cost.
If there are no repercussions for paying a bribe, then the optimal play is to indiscriminately offer bribes to get what you want while taking on none of the criminal liability.
I just finished my interview process with a couple FAANGs and a few other companies, and was a little surprised by how "memorizable" it was, depending on the company. I'm not talking about the topics but rather the process -- ie you might follow a framework for coding interviews like 1) ask clarifying questions, 2) run thru an example, 3) state brute force, 4) solve it optimally (hopefully), etc.

It felt like some sort of bougie "fashion" (or hazing ritual like everyone likes to call it) that candidates needed to follow in order to land the job. Even for system design I felt the same trend was there.
Isn't Climate Change a pleonasm ? It's a bit obvious a temporary thing changes.

Also there is very little doubt that humanity as a whole is a major force accelerating it. Yet, I don't think that CO2 models proven to be accurate. It's way more likely that the Ultra Urban Cities are a big factor. Displacing all fauna and flora, creating a micro climate surrounding it and tons of garbage daily.
I have an easy breakdown:

If, in order for it to work, everyone up the chain from you (or next to you even) has to be unaware of it, it's probably wrong. If the other bidders on a business relationship have to be unaware of it, it's probably wrong. You're basically profiting off ignorance/deception.

I mean, even if you don't understand conflict of interest, this should at least ring a bell.

Candor and integrity should be fundamental values in all people. It's not like you can't conduct a profitable business or become very successful if you prioritize those attributes.
Your suggested code and the “status quo” code are not equivalent, and the with-pipes version isn't the conversion of either of the other two to the proposed pipes syntax.

Notably, on the first point, you proposed version drops two input variables from the other two versions, and on the second, the pipes version would correspond to the “status quo” version if the “_." prefixes were dropped.

It looks like you've made your proposed version look cleaner by both omitting required elements from it and adding unnecessary (and code-breaking) elements to the with-pipes version.
It's not a prediction about the future, it's based on measuring what has happened. "Humans caused climate change". This statement implies nothing about what will happen in the future
On the contrary it's very practical, fits larger cameras and prevents the back of the phone from sliding flat against sharp grains scraping the back and camera glass.
