Well the amount they take really depends on what they can contract with the company they are selling you to, and sometimes they will make very little money on you in order to get you in there - better a satisfied customer than not.

I will switch from USD to DKK which is what I am actually charging in normally.

I was working at a large bank and the rate was 700 DKK an hour for me and the bank was paying 725 DKK, it turns out that the bank refuses to pay more than that because well banks are often cheap I guess. So it turned out the recruiter was only making 25 DKK an hour on this because the consultant they sent before me was such a disappointment that the bank was really upset with them and they needed to make it up to them.

>In my previous contracting work I always knew how much they were making on top of my work, but if I were a consulting company I'd probably take some pains to prevent the subcontractors knowing such stuff, just because of the risk of them cutting me out.

The contracts the recruiting companies give you prevent you from cutting them out during the project and for some time after that - generally around 6 months after.

My experience is that the recruiter generally tries to charge 150 DKK on top of what I charge.

The place I'm at right now is a Swedish company, the SEK is worth less than the DKK, the recruiting company couldn't get more than 750 DKK so I took a cut to 675 DKK per hour for 6 months with a possible 6 month extension, because otherwise I would have had to wait maybe a month to get a project paying 700 DKK per hour.

As noted before you should expect to make twice as much money per hour as you do in a permanent position to take care of the risk involved and also because you have to handle stuff like your own pension, accountants etc. The risk is stuff like not have a job for 4 months, but for example if you manage to work say 2-3 years straight consulting you are obviously doing better at that point than full-time employment.

Also as noted every now and then a project comes along with less hours and that can be a good way to recharge your batteries, for example my last project working 4 hours a day 5 days a week still gave me more money at the end of the month than my last permanent position gave me (just wage money though, not if I counted in such things as vacation money or pension in which case I was behind by about 5000 DKK)

>Whereas, in the classic agent model, more pay for you is more pay for them.

yes, it's true it doesn't work like that in theory but in practice it basically ends up working like that, in my experience it isn't difficult to find out how much they are making on you per hour and then demanding more per hour. If they have a good experience with you, client happy, your renewal coming up and you say you will renew for more money it makes sense for agency to take a cut. At the point you've been working 6 months and the client wants to renew all reasonable agent risk is gone and it's pure profit for them.

on edit: clarified a point with how much the bank paid per hour.

on edit2: clarified another point about working less hours on projects.
It's really strange to me how you don't wonder why or dig deeper as to why I have my opinion. I'm automatically just a dumbass who is living in your bias, nothing to see here
Thanks for the recommendation, I googled the paintings and they are both impressive and depressing.

However, I'm not sure I understand the relation to my comment. Do you think I was claiming life in the Gulag wasn't oppressive? Let me clarify: I was pointing out what I think is a curious bias in the author of the article.
> daily driver since years and years and years

And yet you think $350 is expensive? There must be many more things that return less to you.

Use it for 10 years, that's about $3/month for comfort of daily typing.

> it's still just a keyboard.

Interface is where it matters. Keyboard, display, chair etc. I hate to work with an average keyboard.
> our findings call for an urgent discussion on defining neutrality norms that miners must adhere to when ordering transactions in the chains.

No thanks, the last thing miners need is interference from clueless regulators.
The question here is how do you deal with the sudden, unexpected and almost certainly overwhelming pressure? You can’t practice it because the conditions that produce it are so rare
I agree, but maintaining a large codebase in a statically typed language as compared to a dynamic language is magnitudes easier.

As the codebase grows larger, if people dont have the discipline to write proper code, the code will get more and more complicated since you will not know what exactly you will get. Mostly dynamic languages are easy to get into (which is a strength) but this becomes a weakness as the project becomes larger.
I love this project, but I doubt it would stand up to a legal assault if Intel wanted to destroy it.
I am really curious: How does this compare to Knime (quite popular in EU). I have onboarded a couple finance departments and I agree with you that the flow approach is easier for the teams.
Skilled engineers are in demand and every possible route is being explored to source them. Given the interview process requirement this sounds like it isn’t as personal as implied and that they are interested in your engineering skills versus your project. You might not care about that and seethes as a way in to paid employment in which case go for it. If not then respond to ask for some time to talk to someone that is capable of discussing their interest in your specific project before committing any time to interviews or prep.
The Snowflakes as Code Antipattern
A question that nags me every time Guix comes up, or nix, is about the benefits relative to a normal distro on something like ZFS. Are reproducible builds ever going to be all that important to a user? Rollbacks seem like the key feature here and that seems much better left up to the filesystem, not the package tools. This way your storage is also aware of what you're doing.
I have sometimes been able to replace alcohol with tea. Sometimes it's the need for something stimulating. Not your question, but 2 cents FWIW
I think the biggest problem the art project will face is that nobody actually wants 19.5TB of not-terribly-good art.

If there wasn't a fun speculative element, then most of the artists would have trouble getting anyone to download their stuff even for free (just like most game devs struggle to get anyone to play their games - even when they're pretty good).

So really, if this art project does succeed it could be an interesting new distribution channel!
Atreus keyboard with purple switches is the best ever imo, tiny (no hand movement to use anything, incl. numbers & arrows), great mechanical feel & not too much travel / noise. Ill never switch back!
The SAT isn't hard to study for, but the question is, if your dad is in jail (which many of my black friend's dads were), you are feeling uncertain about the world because of the color of your skin, would you put in the effort? I think people look at tests like the one and all, but many kids have other stuff to work out.
Cool. But why no desktop OS with GPLv3 ?
I’m speculating but when I’ve seen it in the past it was for handling higher current.

In this case I’m wondering if it’s used to maintain better control of the voltage gradient on a pad.
where are all these people spending hours getting "prepped" for the SAT, exactly? not at my high school... and where are all these test prep gods that are somehow getting enormous scores for "undeserving" students? does anyone actually know anyone who "prepped" their way to more than, what, 100-200 points of improvement max? and honestly that's pretty generous. surely less than the advantage from taking the test multiple times (which is a huge advantage for people with money, surely). unless we are talking very low score -> moderate score improvement... but i don't think that's gonna get anyone into Berkeley... setting hard admissions criteria on scores was already WAYY out of fashion by the time i went to college... i can't imagine it is somehow more in vogue these days.

i have a hard time understanding how affirmative action + SAT scores is somehow worse than affirmative action w/o SAT scores. the former seems like a clear win?
Shame there's no PHP lib :(
Oh my goodness, you're totally right. The bullshit train never ends...
Does birthday paradox apply here? It’s about any pair of people having the same birthday, whereas in this case you need someone else with a specific birthday.

For example, if you generate 2 numbers and they are the same, but are different to the capnproto number, that’s a collision but doesn’t actually matter.

EDIT: It does apply, I misunderstood what the number was being used for.
Agreed with your comment. I find this kind of amateurish blog post typical of sites like LessWrong, OvercomingBias, or the writings of minor internet celebrity Eliezer Yudkowsky. Somehow they remain popular in nerd circles.
Actually, whoever posted that copied this comment (glad my timestamp is first edit: just so we can avoid any drama over authorship). Which is fine, IDC, but you telling me it was there is the first I heard of it.
Why not fuck around in high school and then go get a 4.0 at a semi-prestigious community college?
Magical thinking. Of course you can state matter of factly "this is not a Lenovo product" without violating trademarks.

OTOH maybe there is a real risk of getting sued, even if the lawsuit doesn't have merit. CentOS always avoided mentioning Red Hat and refered to the "upstream vendor". I think this was an agreement so that CentOS didn't show up as the first result for "Free Red Hat clone" and it was slightly less obvious to decision makers what it was.
The Source Code to Vvvvvv
I've used a lot of keyboards in my life. The latest rubber domes I've used are either Microsoft and Logitech. Currently I'm using two keyboards daily, a Microsoft Sculpt (rubber dome) and a Logitech G710+ (Cherry MX Brown).

Logitech is much more consistent, softer, strains my hands less, allows for faster typing.

Rubber dome keyboards become heavier as they age, because their key stems wear down. They become extra heavy when you don't use them for some time, because grease tends to harden as they age. This is not the case with the mechanical switches. They just behave the same, all the time.

On the worst case, a rubber dome keyboard needs so much force and has so much friction that it sprains your hand/fingers (Dell's low end bundled keyboards are an health hazard).
The licensing part is most likely true. Can you download purchases for offline play in a random (non-Apple) video player? Or do you need iTunes to exist in order to watch "your" purchases?

I'm afraid not, it's a consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle and the way photons interact (or not) with the atom's electrons.
what part of this is fixed by getting rid of the SATs, exactly? do all the other problems that are making it hard to get on top of school suddenly disappear? do they magically disappear in college? how is it even beneficial to remove one possible avenue for demonstrating aptitude beyond the ability to succeed in a classroom environment, which is profoundly tilted toward rich families who can help kids with homework, bitch at teachers about bad grades, etc.?
I'm not even from the US but that possibility is horrifying to me.

It's a good idea, extensible (ranges available for banks to implement their own codes), and fast.
In Texas, mask wearing was never much of a thing outside major cities. Even in major cities it appears to be below 50% indoors. No major issues with Covid at the moment [1].

The Economist was founded in response to the English Corn Laws [1], a series of mercantilist trade restrictions on grain imports into Britain. The founder, James Wilson, was an avid advocate of free trade, and founded the paper to oppose mercantilism [2].

It is strange to see all submissions about Kyle Rittenhouse here disappear very quickly. I just thought that if more or less randomly selected 12 jury members agreed that he was innocent then what most people really think and what the media portraits it to be are very different things.
Czech here. Lived through last ten years of Communism. These films were repeated ad nauseam like a propaganda assuring us that the system is great because we can game it. Hated it then, hate it now.
Lambda School shows it doesn't work for software engineering. A so-called "apprenticeship" model for something like mechanical engineering would basically be the exact same set of (difficult) math and physics courses but without the garbage breadth requirements, which doesn't exactly sound attractive to dropouts.
I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado WT trim. I got it for this reason, pretty much the simplest "modern" car you can get.

No remote locking, stick shift, just a radio / aux input. Has reverse camera though, and hill start assist.

RWD, four cylinder (but enough power with the 4.10 rear end gearing). And good safety ratings.

It's quite weird in that it has good torque at low RPM, but revs to 7k RPM. Unusual for a truck, but fun.

I use it for towing a 4k lb trailer and the once a week run to the store. Nothing broke in five years so far.

I think they recently dropped the stick shift option but there are plenty on the market. Usually around $20k.

I average 20mpg. 25 on highway. 20 towing.

Downsides: I have the extended cab for the longer bed, so rear seats are tiny.
They’re amazing. I picked them up a few months ago based on a random recommendation online, and couldn’t be happier. They’re 90% as satisfying to hit as Blues, but the noise level is similar to an Apple keyboard.
They care about something that's easily testable, binary, and hard to link to discrimination. So if there's no cert you just don't get hired.
Can I use Exception from betterC with C++ class ?
Ah yess, when you put something publicly available then claim piracy and copyright infringement when people actually use those "public bits".

Gotta love this logic.So if i don't right-click your precious NFT I don't pirate it, how about if i get it from my browser's image cache?Am i pirating it then or not?(I'm not going into copying and selling, which is more nuanced, but even then one could argue in the same manner).

To me these questions are extremely rhetorical, especially if one believes in the concept of property. If you don't want to freely give people copies of your precious hard work,don't put it on the internet, period, not even under a protected information system. I would further argue on this principle about computer security aswell, but that actually requires understanding how computers work, which the vast majority doesn't know.

By putting your work publicly available you already explicitly give permission on people to copy your bits into their computers(a.k.a viewing).I guess people think machines are like humans and automatically "forget" what they see, thus enforcing the value of copyright.
No, what he is saying is that preparing for the SAT (or any competitive exam) is like an arms race. Immigrants from asia (where it is already hyper-competitive and the population is more) will be determined and over-prepare and clear the SAT with high scores. It is like "knowing is half the battle". This will fill all the classes with asians, that is why you read about all of the ivy league's etc having a different cutoff for asians.

If determined immigrants start getting in more than your local populace, how do you make sure that admissions are balanced. That is the problem.

But yeah some "administrator" evaluating subjective criteria like courses taken, rigor etc is also not good and a pure objective test is also not good. I feel a balance needs to be struck, it is a hard problem
It depends, the populations from present-day Mexico didn't ally between themselves when Cortez (who might just have been an alien to them) arrived, quite the contrary, some of them became allies of Cortez against the Aztecs.
NASA should have a crash (NPI) program to re-booster most of its missions on reusable boosters. And reimagine its goals in the light of the vastly cheaper cost of mass to orbit (that will likely soon be) achieved by Starship. Of course pork barrel projects die hard so it may take some technical or economic setback to deliver the coup de grace.
I hope you get an answer, because this sounds very intriguing but google is failing me in finding any references to it.
The problem is that more authoritarian governments don't take kindly to freedom-of-movement, and even if they did, "leaving your country" really means "and your job and family and social life and legal system and culture and language and..." so there's lots of sources of unavoidable friction that get in the way of a "free market of governance".

Case in point - we have "red states" and "blue states" with pretty substantial difference in policy, from taxes to abortion rights, but national red/blue party votes seem to indicate they're only split 60:40 or so in terms of their population, if that. Even though "immigration" across US state lines is as low friction as you can hope for.
Seems it has only around 10GB of data, the rest are zeros hashed.

Except "prestigious" (even "semi-prestigious") and "community college" are mutually exclusive. You may be able to get a satisfactory education at one, depending on the college and the field of study...but prestigious? No way.
Isn’t this how the U.S. federal government was originally intended, regulating only interstate commerce? The EU also started out as just a trade block, regulating trade between member states.

The problem with only regulating trade is that most of what a government does ties back into trade. Any form of subsidies or tax benefits creates an unfair advantage to one country’s businesses, so any attempt at regulating trade will find itself regulating taxation and subsidy regimes. Any mismatch between product standards will make it difficult to trade, so inevitably you will see environmental and product safety regulation creep in. Devaluing a coin can benefit one country over another, so it becomes necessary to have a common monetary policy (see: the euro). Everything that the EU does, and it does a lot of things, has derived in some way of the attempt to regulate trade.

Add a sincere attempt to ensure human rights into the mix, and a global government will inevitably find itself regulating everything.
The big leap was a disaster in all relevant metrics but propaganda.
Strength leads to strength. If you can get to a place of prestige and that place continues to have high standards, then the people who are bound for the streets or no purpose have a means to a higher goal. Maybe I believe that if you give people a little bit of chance, they end up better?
Yes, I agree with all that. Not sure where your second sentence is coming from. I was only responding to the idea that there is only one kind of way to threaten someone, that is ineffective.
Richard Davidson's work helped me see depression as an inability to mentally generate, maintain or perceive positive emotion, from bad to worst. There was a period in time I could perceive them, but not maintain let alone generate them.

And what got me back on track was
7000 steps and strictly down regulating social media feeds and learning a few self regulating tricks and awareness of the brain going funky to then apply the self regulating tricks (therapy).

The 7000 steps alone got me back to a better sleep cycle, the complete pack to a good sleep cycle.

hahah .... who will evaluate the evaluator's evaluations? Seems to be extremely subjective. May be they should go with a 50/50 split for SAT and the subjective criteria. This won't be perfect but both camps would be covered.
If you aren't willing to put in the effort for a multiple choice (easy) exam, you are failing any STEM college degree (the only ones that give you a chance at making it out of the poorhouse), straight up. Compared to the SAT intro calculus at any top university is magnitudes harder.

If you admit the kids you're talking about under affirmative action they'd just be weeded out in intro courses and get relegated to some social sciences degree with negative return on tuition. That is objectively worse than rejecting them.
It already has https://twitter.com/GeoffreyHuntley/status/14618723766819512... and now it's into inception territory. The person who did https://www.thenftbay.org (me) got NFT'ed by VVD (passed in at $17,645.42 USD) and now I've NFT'ed his auction result with the proceeds being diverted to Outreachy internships.
I couldn't find any hard research on this but the sentiment seems to be that stack ranking at Microsoft was part of their stagnation before their revitalisation by the new CEO
So, you're saying that those exact bumps and grooves are the repository of value for Starry Night? That if only we could perfectly replicate those grooves, then it'd have no value?
I think this line of thought could fruitfully develop. It is inline with Chris Aranade’s theory of dignity changes in the US. There is a great Econtalk interview about it:

https://www.econtalk.org/chris-arnade-on-dignity/

Photographer, author, and former Wall St. trader Chris Arnade talks about his book, Dignity, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Arnade quit his Wall Street trading job and criss-crossed America photographing and getting to know the addicted and homeless who struggle to find work and struggle to survive. The conversation centers on what Arnade learned about Americans and about himself.
Yeah, episodic is the differentiator for me in terms of what should be prevented. With someone suffering episodes of severe depression, there's a clash between what the individual wants while not suicidal vs while suicidal.

Intuitively I feel that it's like two different people are making decisions about the one body, and the finality of suicide means the suicidal part of someone is wiping out the future for both, and should thus be prevented.

Again, though, the majority of suicide victims aren't suicidal for large periods of their lives. I feel that in the cases where someone is only briefly suicidal during the worst troughs of mood, the suicidal 1% of a life would wipe out the non-suicidal 99%, which is a monumental loss to inflict.
