One of your original claims was this:

> You can leave a job (by choice or otherwise) where you worked for a year and were making "1 million a year" with less than $300k in total compensation.

For the purposes of discussing compensation at FAANG & similar, this is basically untrue. If you work at those companies for a year you'll take home (short of a massive movement in stock price) something approximately resembling what was promised to you. Taxes do not change the equation on this, since vested RSUs are taxed as income (_not_ short-term gains; them being the same rate is irrelevant - they are in fact just reported as income on your W2, without being broken out from your salary, it's literally one number). AMT applies regardless of whether your income is derived from vested RSUs or base salary - if you work at Netflix you're probably getting hit too. I don't see how state income taxes are relevant, since, again, those apply exactly the same way to RSUs as they do to salary.

> Ultimately, any compensation number that rolls all of this up into one number is mostly useless for actually knowing how much money you’ll have in N years

Uh, no? You can straightforwardly project your take-home pay over time; if you want to be really precise you can do it as a probability density function to take into account the potential movement of the stock price over time based on the volatility.

This is all a bit of a distraction from your main point:

> I'm sure some people actually enjoy the full benefits of what they're promised, but I'd be surprised if that's a majority.

Untrue! Obviously, trivially untrue, as demonstrated above.
I mean open source pushes things forward but lack of IP? I don't think so. Linux is a great example of how open source brings great things, it's also a great example of how IP has helped open source.
Has anyone actually seen a photo of Advantage360 or did Kinesis just launched a preorder just with renders?

This is what happens when a minority doesn’t play hard at social politics. Time for them to start punching their weight.
A Seemingly Small Change Can Cause Impacts in a System
I don’t think it’s intended as a veiled threat of a lawsuit so much as a statement of the compliance requirements. Unfortunately it seems they misunderstood the scope which makes the it inaccurate. But if the statement was true and accurate I would just take it as a helpful reminder of the timeframe.
If the "bullshit" jobs were valuable to anyone, they wouldn't be bullshit, they would be highly coveted and celebrated positions.
> Perhaps more importantly, there could be a connection to tensions arising from neoliberal policies which were defended on rational arguments, while the economic fruits were reaped by an increasingly small fraction of societies

The decline of collectivism and the rise of individualism following the near total destruction of unions and the labour movement? Sound like a pretty significant contributor to me.
Very, very flawed reasoning here. It's basically arguing that YAGNI as a principle is exactly backwards: you're definitely going to need all this stuff eventually so embrace maximum complexity from day 1. Terrible, terrible strategy.

The only ETL framework you need is a general-purpose programming language. Cf. that article "You can't buy integration" from the other day.
Yes.

IRB's exist, in part, to weight the cost to the humans/etc vs the possible benefit of the study.

Take: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w21560/w215...

Look at footnote 3.

There is often a tendency to dehumanize things when it involves sending stuff to corporations. Even in that footnote, it's not employers processing fictious resumes, it's people.

So it's much more likely you'd get approval to do something "to a corporation" even though 99% of the time, it's really still being done to humans
Maybe they want to ship Apple Silicon to server vendors?
It's not anecdotal that the Outer Sunset has lower crime than pretty much anywhere else in the city. This is clear from the crime data - not an anecdote.

> I will point out that "isn't at the top of a hill" is not actually much of a distinction when you're talking about San Francisco.

What?

How does Haight-Ashbury compare to Ashbury Heights, Corona Heights, or Cole Valley?
How does the Mission compare to Bernal Heights or Noe Valley, or even Potrero Hill?
How does the Fillmore compare to Pac Heights?
How does the Bayview compare to Portola, even?

Again, take a look at the crime data. There are some exceptions in the stats (eg. Twin Peaks - but largely because of tourists getting their car broken into at the viewpoint) but by and large, top of a hill = less crime.
Surge in inputs can be explained by the fact that we’re in a pandemic. Based on the investigation of the VAERS reports, what risks are you talking about?
Effortless.

Muscle memory is a wonderful thing. You don’t struggle to wear two different pairs of shoes or ride two bikes.

With enough practice (three months for me) I can type easily on phone keyboards, kinesis/moonlander, and qwerty laptop keyboards.

Do yourself a favor and take care of your hands. Split, ergonomic, welled, and ortholinear keyboards make a noticeable difference for finger fatigue, RSI, etc. my wrist tenderness is gone after using my kinesis for 3 years and has not returned after using the ZSA moonlander for 3 months.
I cannot believe that this guy was fired on the same day he leaked to the FDA. This means the FDA reported him to Pfizer??

He blew the whistle on the following: some staff were not blinded, potentially unblind recipients, quality control on the paperwork, the patients weren't followed up with.

It just adds to my nihilism, tbh.
I think it is pretty surprising. They're getting strong pushback internally from ostensibly well educated employees.
"but lacked a lot of basic high school skills."

If you back basic high school skills then you're not only probably not suited to Engineering, you're also probably not going to cut it.

It takes 'Aptitude' plus at very least skills plus even more.

The point is that no matter how many laws get passed, you could very easily see yourself as from Hong Kong, not China, and you shouldn't get death threats for saying as such.
I never said they contained them. I literally said "used to test the vaccine."

Religions that oppose abortion typically don't have a statute of limitations on when the cells from them are okay to use to grow cell lines to use in testing.
There's no ethical way to prove sincerity of belief. By ordeal or by torture are all that I can think of, and they both have serious problems.

Our entrepreneur virtual coworking space setup
A virtual coworking space for entrepreneurs is a place where indie makers from all over the world can work together on their projects while supporting each other and feeling like part of a team.

I have been growing the WBE space (wannabe-entrepreneur.com) for the past 5 months to a community that has 40 members now and here is the setup that best works for us:

Slack Channel:
This channel is the center of communication and the place where most of the indie makers hang out. I have tried out multiple channels but here are the ones that have the most engagement:

- what-i-am-doing-today: Every day members write down their daily goals and support each other with encouraging words or relevant tips. I am quite surprised with the fact that people not only share their business-related tasks but also more personal ones... Really cool!

- victories-and-frustrations: We celebrate each other victories and give support when needed. This channel is not used on a daily basis by every member but it's still very popular

- introductions: This is a classic but a must for every community. I set up an automatic message that asks every new member to introduce themselves in the channel. It works as an ice breaker for the noobie and the members are very welcoming.

We have a couple of other popular channels like the looking-for-advice, feedback, and today-I-learned which are used multiple times a week.

Virtual Office Rooms:
Using jitsi and the slack API I created two virtual rooms that are available 24/7:

- Work Room: Entrepreneurs turn on the camera and work together in their individual tasks. Is like being in an office. I also implemented a shared Pomodoro timer, so normally we work for 30min, have a 5min chat, and restart

- Break Room: Just a place to chill and drink a coffee or beer and chat about our projects and life in general. Once a month we also do a community event that gathers most of the members.
Entrepreneurs

Wiki

I put it together using netlify cms and it works great! Is a place where members can document their favorite tools together with how they use them. I also use it to document all the community-only discounts that I have been able to get from SaaS founders.

Pricing

A member pays 4 euros per month to be part of the space. To be honest I haven't played much around the pricing but from what I gathered the members seem quite happy with it. One cool thing I noticed is that the paying members are much more active and engaged than the guests...

And here is what I have learned so far and how our setup looks like. If you have a community I would love to hear about your setup and let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers
Vaccines for covid are only for lessening the severity. Prevention is widely known not effective for covid vaccines. This is why almost all health professional stop using the phrase "herd immunity". At this stage it is better for everyone to just move on. There will always be people who differ opinions. If they opt to have higher risk of dying from covid and we ourselves have already been jabbed, I think no point to be fixated on it forcing people to do so. There are more people dying from lung cancer, hypertensions, heart attack, diabetes, etc. None bother to address cigs, sugary drinks, overeating as zealously as covid vaccinations. BTW, expect jabbing to be done annually. Your triple jabs are just the "beginning" of the norm.
The same meritocracy word that was coined to mock such a concept being accurate and good?
When you're working on something where requirements are changing and function signatures are changing (I'm looking at you, every frontend codebase ever written), having your editor yell at you about types until you've fixed everything really cuts down on bugs.
The only thing I learned from the Aeneid diorama in my “Honors” English class in 9th grade was that a teacher could mark down a cave for not being colorful enough.
Almost Famous is another example. I love the movie. But then I watched the director's cut which added 40 minutes more and it was very meh. The jokes weren't as crisp and there were scenes that didn't really add anything and just slowed down the pace.
My previous team lead hated JIRA and would frequently rail on it during our agile ceremonies. Me who likes coming up acronyms would refer to it as that "Janky Irritating React App" during our ceremonies as a result. Good times.

Elite college entrance is a lifelong shortcut in the distribution system of money and power that the rest of us do not get to opt out of.

The things you say about racial injustice are true, however if correcting this were truly the goal Harvard and the other ivies would remove legacy admission preference. They won’t because their core mission is to provide a route for the wealthy and powerful to pass down social status to their heirs.

The function of anyone else there is to obscure this core mission.
I don't really see how they are ridiculous. I'm familiar with this person's content and it's pretty much all cruel, hateful and spiteful "jokes" if you could even call them that. It's like the classmate who never learned to stop bullying your other gay classmate, except this is a grown adult doing it to make money online. I haven't been in school in many years but I still am disappointed on a daily basis at how some people just never learned to behave when this type of behavior would have gotten a 13 year old sent home and grounded. If I operated a video site, I personally would not want this type of content on it either. I'm sure you can see how a video service that aims to be used by families, children, in schools, etc, doesn't want to provide a platform for cruel and offensive content. The "totalizing" attitude is because people don't seem to learn the first time and the service operator doesn't really have a choice if they want to be firm about it, the parent comment even says this is the second time this person has been warned about this behavior. I don't see how it can be called "cancel culture" if multiple warnings have been given.

It also is somewhat offensive for me on a personal level to hear these shock jocks trying to politicize which team a trans child plays on or what medical treatments they might receive; those seem like they would be issues best left up to the child's fellow participants in that sport and the child's doctor, not some youtuber trying to build a name for themselves by generating controversy about things that don't even affect them.
If Omicron is more infectious to the vaccinated than not vaccinated, that would be super ironic wouldn't it be. Would scientists even admit that.

Here's the governments own data for ontario.

If you scroll to the second graph and select 7 days and cases. You will see 2022 cases for the vaccinated, and 778 for the unvaccinated. With the slopes diverging out.

This is a bit mean. You do not know the circumstances of OP. Do you know them personally to be able to say this? Is this so-called more ethical company going to pay them the same or give them the same sort of pay and benefits? What if this person has a spouse, or children that need specialised care that costs a lot? What if they also have a mortgage and provide for their parents as well as their family?

Just saying "Please don't work for Facebook" is just so tone-deaf. Maybe YOU can work for a more ethical company, doesn't mean OP can.
It's basically the same road the NYT is doing in the Project Veritas defamation lawsuit. NYT is also used as a source by other "fact checkers," including Facebook. NYT admits they published opinion as fact in a factual A1 page news story.

Will this conference be virtual or in-person?

According to my experience, the in-person conference is much better. A lot of eye contact, more feedback during the talk, and a more active Q&A session.

The virtual conference always ends up just like a Youtube channel...
I tested it; I was trying to get failover (preferably automated failover) between DSL and LTE on IPv6. Should be simple: advertise from DSL as normal priority (would do high priority, but I can't change how the modem advertises it), advertise from the LTE as low priority, somehow make the DSL modem advertise deprecated or at least stop advertising when it's disconnected.

V6 devices are expected to understand that and do the right thing, but Windows (10) doesn't, Linux was worse, and I don't remember what Android did and I didn't get around to testing FreeBSD, and that's all the OSes I have.

If you've got experience otherwise, I'd love to know, one of these days I need to setup IPv6 again, but what I'd really like to do is too much work, so I'm IPv4 only for the foreseeable future.
Ask HN: Would an ad-free internet be better?
I was considering this question with some friends the other day, and while we agreed about a number of problems with an increasingly ad-driven web, we weren’t sure an ad-free web would be perfect either. What do you think?
It could be your university's definition. Princeton's definition doesn't include information about organizations.[1] It would include information about solo projects arguably.

Incomplete is correct, asian cultures eat a lot of carbs but until recently a lot of the carbs weren't refined. Rice was eaten with the husk, and it was a luxury so people didn't consume as much of it as they do now. People also didn't have the luxury of 3 meals a day.

So the point is that its easy to over indulge with our modern conveniences and thus developing type 2 diabetes is a lot easier today.
>That's an unserious, facile argument that ignores 400+ years of history that continues to this day. It's been estimated that racism, starting with slavery, has cost Black Americans over $70 trillion. There's a legacy attached to that which clearly disadvantages black people. Further, redlining, unequal pay, etc. continue. If it's racist to acknowledge these facts, then it is also racist not to.

Is that something current people who had no choice in what happened deserve to be punished for? and yes, I recognize this applies both ways, but every time this topic comes up it seems like we forget that no college applicant had much of a choice regarding the circumstances that led to the admissions criteria being the way they are, so the claim that one needs to be biased for/against a group because of historical issues isn't entirely morally sound. In the end you are still punishing some group of innocents.

Personally I think that instead the focus should be on trying to balance the field at the high school level. If everyone is brought up to a similar level of education by the end of high school, there is no need to bias admissions themselves, instead the university can just offer financial aid to poorer students. Alternatively things change so that the university one goes to doesn't really matter for future career prospects. In my opinion the former is easier to achieve.
So now the government is in the business of measuring sincerity in beliefs?

Are Catholics sincere if they have sex before marriage? Use birth control? Get a divorce?

Are Jews sincere if they eat non kosher food? Muslims if they eat non Halal and drink alcohol and gamble?

Christians who use Christ to persecute others? Such as gay people who want to get married?

You're right, but sorta. Which is the big problem here, any simplified analogies break down.

What's happening is that you are straying further and further from the "impedance matched" condition (the inductance per unit length stays the same but the capacitance goes up with the separation--however, being "too close" will also cause similar behavior). Consequently, the energy transmitted per reflection gets smaller and smaller.

Part of the problem in this whole discussion is using a "light" as a "threshold detector" where the threshold is effectively microamps. A microamp threshold detector is not what people think of as a "lamp".

If the original Veritasium video had showed the current flow via meter, oscilloscope, etc. nobody would be terribly surprised as it would show small flows getting bigger upon each reflection until it built up to the full current.

Yeah I mean the flu we experience yearly is “descended” from the Spanish Flu but we don’t require flu passports to get a coffee. Eventually (I hope) the madness will subside. Forcing people to get vaccines will only result in contrarian noncompliance due to the peculiarities of the American psyche. We are much better off in the long run investing in universal health care and increasing access but that’s a non-starter in our political climate
>LISTEN ties up a connection

Wait, what?? I can't keep doing things with my connection after I issue a LISTEN? That doesn't seem right! I would assume it would isomorphic to how unix-y bg programs will occasionally write to the console (although I see how this might be hard to deal with at the driver level). Now I will have to go check.

I'm not sure how long anyone can last in business if this is their response to receiving a kind-of-threat of a lawsuit. I get that it may be a hassle but businesses get these kind of garbage threats frequently and often can be ignored unless and until they actually file something. If the threat is BS then its certainly wrong for them to waste your time but being so mad you can't even speak to them seems a bit much.

In 2016 plenty of people were calling Trump an illegitimate President, and before that Republicans were questioning Obama's legitimacy due to his birth certificate, and before that Gore and Bush had the Supreme Court settle their contested election, and before that was Clinton's impeachment any less partisan?

You act as if this is some new phenomenon, but it's just the latest data point in a dangerous game played by both sides.

Trump doesn't deserve this much paranoia. He's an incompetent buffoon that anyone could easily beat if the existing parties weren't so focused on playing their petty games at the expense of the people. So who's fault is it really if he wins?
