"John will ask why Sandy is making more. The truth is that Sandy is more productive, and saying that to John will lead to friction. John will either need to make more money (which will piss off Sandy), or Sandy will need to get promoted to the same level as her manager (which will piss off her manager because what is she going to do now?). So who do we piss off? Wait, why do we need to piss off anyone - let's just keep the salaries private."
>The movies don't get published here (for obvious reasons)

I saw Wolf Warrior 2 at the AMC cinema in Sunnyvale, California. There weren’t a lot of showtimes but the theater was packed for my showing. Chinese audio with English subtitles. Thought it was an entertaining action movie with some ridiculous propaganda set pieces a la Rambo. My mostly Chinese (maybe Taiwanese? didn’t ask) fellow audience members audibly groaned en masse at some of these, like when the hero gets a truck full of refugees past some African rebels by dramatically waving a PRC flag.

An American friend of mine saw the film a few months later on a cross-country fight, the airline had it on the inflight entertainment system. It’s also apparently on Prime Video. So such movies can be found here for those who want to see them; that’s just a pretty small group of people.
It's not quite flick a switch, but with maven you can specify which keys you trust to sign which of your dependencies (anything published to maven central is required to be signed). E.g. here's one of my libraries: https://github.com/m50d/tierney/blob/master/free/keys.proper...
By this definition being a soldier is a bullshit job, because the only reason it's needed is because other countries have soldiers as well (i.e. zero sum).
But I don't think most people would agree that it can be done away with. Zero sum games are just an unavoidable part of life.
I can't cite the statistic I read, but it seems very plausible that the wealthiest ten percent of the world's population contribute about fifty percent of the world's pollution. They are going to put up a bigger fight. It doesn't have to be a major fight though. Social pressure can go a long way.
It is, of course, possible to love and damage a child at the same time. When that child becomes an adult, they have every right to recognize that the power dynamic has shifted, and they can establish any boundaries they see fit - including cutting them off.
I think you're overthinking this. It's chat, not code.
I tried to buy decreasing term life insurance, where the benefit decreases continuously over 20 years, matching the needs of my family. I consulted with several agents and none of them could sell it to me. The best they could do was to divide the term into three time periods with different benefit amounts.

One agent told me that most customers drop their policy after a few years. The companies earn most of their income from the initial periods of policies, when payouts are rare.
Any books you'd like to recommend, friend?
I also heat water with my stove. 2 hot water tanks, the first tank is unpowered has cold city water coming into it and is ran through a coil on my wood stove and then cycles back into the tank with a hot water pump. The second tank is powered and draws from the first tank. So cold city water is heated prior to going to my second tank it saves me lots of power each year.
Mutual companies like State Farm where policy holders receive dividends in the form of discounts make this less of an issue.
If people care enough to exploit your game or buy items in your game economy, your game is a success. If it was truly boring, they wouldn't bother.
Perceptual – A Smarter Volume Slider Scale
I absolutely love my Prusa i3 MK3S+. I've printed almost 900m of filament since August, almost all of it going into tabletop minis. Sure, you can tell they're printed, but they still look good.

I bought the assembled version because I'm good at losing screws. I immediately made some stupid decisions and factory reset everything. Fallout? Took something like 10 min to fully auto-calibrate and get up and running again. It was magic.

It took some trial and error in the slicer to get the support settings where I wanted, but this thing just pumps out whatever I give it now.

PrusaSlicer is also really awesome. It doesn't do tree supports like Cura, but it auto-fixes pretty much every model related issue on load. A lot of the other slicers I've looked at either don't work on linux or can't deal with model issues from online .stls.
But like all the other Minneapolis-St Paul teams, it’s named after Minnesota, not Minneapolis or St Paul. I guess the Minnesota Twins kind of technically are, but.. it’s not great from a metropolitan branding perspective.
I think you may have missed a joke. Your parent is poking fun at the tiahura's similar comment about the term "womanizing"
> To be totally clear: your employer cannot require you to have a medical procedure, and then fire if you do not comply...

Citation needed.

Vaccine requirements are not out of the norm for most jobs. And in “at will” work states, if your demand to not have a vaccine isn’t in your employment contract, you are most likely out of luck. It is not protected under labor law, employment law (unless your union negotiated that point specifically), and is not a protected category.

I personally would prefer the frequent testing or proof of antibodies as alternatives (it would lessen the political polarity of the issue), but I’m not overreacting and pretending like a vaccine mandate is equivalent to rounding up Jews in German-occupied Poland. In the scheme of things that Americans have suffered (but legally and illegally) at the hands of our governments and our employers, this vaccine is diminutive.

Biden’s mandate that covers private companies which are not government contractors is questionable (I’m interested to see how the appeals go), but any org/company which has existing service/vendor contracts with the federal government is likely to be reaffirmed.

SCOTUS ruled over a century ago that vaccines are reasonable to be mandated by governments under certain conditions. There is no federal mandate for all residents, but any city/state that wants to mandate it is supported by jurisprudence. It is honestly really worrying that Republican legislators in many states are rolling back legal requirements for vaccines of far deadlier diseases while virtue signaling their political allegiance against COVID vaccines.

I think you also ignore how much Americans already tolerate when you pretend like one of three well tested vaccines is something that will cause mass unrest.
I think expectations are a big part of it. I have met homeless who are much happier despite their lack of material wealth. Similar differences apply when you look a cross countries and cultures.
That's ridiculous. If you list the salary as too low, you're sending out a negative signal and will get less qualified candidates. You obviously cannot list it any higher than you're willing to pay. So you'll end up listing it in such a way that people will figure out what this position is worth to you, and once that person gets hired, their background and experience will get scrutinized to no end by anyone with a comparable salary.

If you've ever been a part of the performance review process, you will know that people will go very far to justify a raise. Looking at the current job listings on your company's career section will be the very first thing that everyone will do if those salaries were to be made public.
What I wondered about these brick stoves is how do they clean them properly? Surely they need to be cleaned of build up periodically as a woodstove needs to be done annually to prevent chimney fires.
> You can buy your way into a prestigious school.

And is that something our society encourages? Are we rooting for prestigious schools to offer more pay-to-enter mechanisms like that, do we have a contingent of teachers arguing that this is the future of schooling? Or do a lot of people get really mad about those bribery scandals, and do those prestigious schools actually loose a small amount of social prestige in the public eye whenever a new scandal comes out?

People aren't happy with Harvard when they engage in nepotism, no one goes around calling that a bold new innovative model for college admissions.

Of course, paying money or hacking your way through an experience doesn't rob other people of the intrinsic personal achievement of doing something hard, and it doesn't mean their experience was less meaningful. But common shortcuts certainly make all of these achievements less valuable as a social signal, which is something that NFT-based games claim that they can provide.

In your earlier comment you write:

> it lets you show off to other players because they know how much time you had to spend

But no, it doesn't, because those other players don't know if you legitimately got the achievement/asset, they have no idea how much time you spent on it. If you personally find it rewarding to get that asset then great, but in a play-to-earn game or a game with tradable NFT assets, most of the achievements that are publicly displayed by players won't have been earned, so you're not really socially/publicly showing off anything to other players unless you're also adding a text box underneath them saying "don't worry, I did actually earn this."
Conversely there’s this idea that you can’t be depressed if you have material comforts and your life is good by the standards of the person judging you.
That's pretty impressive. What do you know what caused the May 2021 spike? what is your feel of how 'sustainable' the whole eco-system of this game is..
I could have clarified. I did not assume that you are an apologist, just that it's easy to construct an apologia from your points.

I understand what you mean in regards to a market understanding. I think our comments compliment each other. That includes a lack of faith of government interventions in those types of atomic market relationships. I can't suss out your political leaning. Either my bias gives me tunnel vision or the only viable option is collective bargaining.
I think it's worth pointing out that tech has benn the catalyst and part cause of this mess in the first place.
> I dislike a lot of business models but I just don’t feel right calling them “silly” and looking for ways to take things I know I don’t have the right to take.

How do you know if you have a right to take them?

If it's according to the law, then your ethical stance changes with the wind. E.g., you would believe you have a right to derive new music by taking a chord progression from your favorite song, but not by taking the melody. Worse, the rich history in the U.S. of building new songs out of old chord progressions was preferred to taking melodies chiefly because it was illegal to take copyrighted melodies and put new chord changes to them. So your ethical stance would change depending on whether you happen to be reading the notes that are stacked vertically on the page (i.e., a chord), or horizontally across it (a melody). That's ethically incoherent.

If it's according to your own ethical stance, you have to explain what that stance is. E.g., are you ethically opposed to circumventing a company's API to download content in a way they didn't intend? Are you opposed to someone accepting a flash drive from a friend that has their friend's favorite music on it? Someone pasting their big fat head on indy content and reposting as a "reaction video" to steal views? I happen to think these aren't all covered by the same ethical rule, but maybe they are.
I'm an emotionally immature parent, seems like this will be a hard read :/
Is that them not thinking of it or just realizing that anything that requires greater time investment will be a fight?

As much as many of us (myself included) are socially clueless, we do notice when people are annoyed with us and that is often when there is a problem (something SREs would need to deal with a lot if prod goes down).

I have binned a lot of improvement proposals simply to keep management happy and not having the desire to fight for the required time/resources. Half the time I might share it with a fellow rank and file dev for interest sake, but it dies there.

People like fire fighters. The fire inspector is broadly considered annoying.
> When the NSA identified Reality Winner communicating with The Intercept, they didn't so much care about what was in those messages; once the link was established, they had better ways of extracting the rest of the information they wanted than trying to defeat a cryptosystem.

Which is surely a strong argument for having keys that are standalone and portable across different communication media, rather than having them be coupled to accounts on particular services (or, worse, to personal information like an SSN or phone number).
I installed a bunch of these and loved them compared to the head-scratching misery of SCSI - which had far superior performance but also many more opportunities for things to go wrong. Those BIOS screens brought back memories of watching machines count slowly up to 8mb of RAM and thinking 'what a beast...one day I too shall own a machine of such power.'
Both Torrens and Abstract are in play in the US, sometimes even within the same state.
AFAIK that’s the only explanation we have any evidence for at this point.

It’s easy for me to think there’s magic buried in the hundred billion neurons and hundred trillion synapses in the human brain. But in the case of tardigrades or wasps, it becomes much less obvious where the consciousness would ‘live’ with such limited real estate.
good mention. an rtfm for everyone else.
I’ve always wondered if Madden’s legacy as an announcer was tarnished a bit by the video games. It was magical having him dynamically announce the game you are playing, but the sophistication was limited, especially in XBox/PS2 era. I remember his voice saying generic silly things about the games I played as much as I remember the real games he announced.

IRRC, he also said he focused on explaining the game to someone who wasn’t a fan yet. It sometimes drove lifetime enthusiasts nuts, but I appreciated that he saw his role as making a complex game accessible.
> Maybe in tech companies engineers might have different experience.

Of course they do!

At non-tech companies, tech is a cost center. The only strategy that will be valued is a strategy to cut costs.

At tech companies, tech is the product, so it's a profit center.

If you want a fulfilling career as an engineer, don't work in a cost center.

> In my experience, only opportunity for engineers to contribute to a meaningful strategy is in a small team with business person as CEO/Owner and they really want to listen to the engineer's opinion.

That might be true at very small companies. At large tech companies most engineers will never meet the CEO, but they still have input on strategy. Of course that means developing some credibility and trust within the organization before people will listen, but that's true in all industries.

I’ve had huge issues with falling asleep for years, and have had two big changes in the last 2 years that have completely changed things for me. The first was being diagnosed with anxiety and learning about mindful breathing activities, essentially just throwing on the headspace or calm apps while in bed allowed me to drift off very quickly after a 10-20min session.

The second big thing was having a baby. 7 months in and I can fall asleep anywhere at anytime simply because I’m so utterly exhausted all the time. I’d recommend trying the breathing first.
My dad had a black box that worked awesome. It had a little dial in the back that you could twist to dial in a channel to be super clear.
> When trying to build an argument from first principles, it's important not to make a mistake early on. In your case, you use the profit seeking as an argument that this automatically leads to minimizing everyone's salaries.

Where did I say this, or even imply it?

> In reality, profit gets maximized when you have a team full of high achievers and with very low turnover. That's fundamentally not compatible with your original hypothesis.

I mean, if I made that claim, I'd agree with you, but I'm currently quite lost as to how that conclusion was reached. I said and implied nothing about minimizing salaries.

Ian McGilchrist – How We Might Be Blind to the World
The macroeconomics are built from microeconomic foundations.
>A lot of this advice has to do with what role you play in a company.

Exactly! A company employs me to deliver on a specific set of primary responsibilities, everything else is secondary. While i of course can push for greater responsibilities/roles to play/grow, until and unless that has been officially acknowledged and agreed upon, the primary is what i need to unambiguously deliver on.

> All that said, now as a parent myself, I feel sorry for him.

Slowly but surely, everything I thought I knew about my parents has changed now that I am a parent. I used to harbor bitter resentments against my mother, and wanted her to know how she failed me… now I just see an old woman who gave what she could to her five children and is just as much a “beloved child of God” as each of them. I am also acutely aware that, as long as I’m not abusive, absent or wildly inconsistent, my behavior as a parent is probably more important as my child’s future model of parent behavior when it comes time to raise the next generation. I like to joke that I insist on my son giving his grandmother a hug each time he sees her as a favor to my wife: down payment on more grandchild hugs for her in the future.

> The challenge, kindness, compassion and the joy of sharing all come to mind.

I have been in some scene group chats and I can tell you that many "important" people there don't give a damn about the "spirit of sharing" and just do it for the fun of beating a challenge. They see the sharing of these tools/decryption keys as "throwing food scrapps to homeless people". Lots of ego-driven "I don't give a fuck about anyone" attitude in some groups.
There are landlord forums, employer forums, cop forums, where they all validate one another's abuse.

Abusive parents are unlikely to form a community on that basis, but there must be parenting forums run by and for abusers-in-denial.
We, as a company, interacted with people at every level of these labels. We had regular meetings all the way to the top. For the most part though, the staff were universally non-technical. They loved music, knew music, but their technical infrastructure was fairly limited. We had to rip CDs (250,000 of them) like everyone else because they didn't have any of their data in any easily accessible form.

There was never any hint of any conspiracy or any other motivation than to limit piracy. They saw that DRM files could not be traded on Napster or any other file-sharing system du jour and that was all they wanted. Sales be damned.

OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely steps down as CEO
Curious, have you come around to bitcoin being a thing? Trying to understand the HN perspective.

Saying items being delisted from OpenSea is a big deal and diminishes the value is a fair point but that's a temporary thing. If you look on a blockchain like Solana there are 5+ exchanges you can reasonably list.

And coinbase/ftx are listing ethereum NFTs and more competitors to OpenSea are spawning which actually proves my point a bit. If Google killed your project it would have no hope. If a marketplace kills it, any other marketplace can list it.
I don't have a political leaning - in the US, everything is either black or white (with very few shades of grey). In most other countries, the governments are formed through coalitions, and you get a much higher diversity of political flavors. I could find something good about most political parties, and would like to cherry pick those ideas into a package that you could no longer attach to any one single party.

As far as collective bargaining goes, I first lived in a communist country, then in a social democracy, and now in the US. I think it could work, but I have never seen it implemented well. My main concern is that China will kick everyone's ass, and the friction that collective bargaining introduces into a system will make it more difficult to defend against that scenario.
The decline and fall of SF seems to be a popular topic on HN. Yet SF real estate prices remain astronomical. Somebody wants to live there.
Oh my god. That podcast with the Axie dude made me recoil with disgust. The way they're selling the pay-to-earn concepts comparing it to mobile games is absolutely vile especially when mobile games are equally predatory

Sometimes I wish I didn't have any scruples so I could mint money from misery like this
See, I don't think the video games hurt much as much as tried to represent the real him. I could see that idea that he only wanted to explain to nonfans. His announcing was always very basic and nontechnical, to the point of being overly obvious. But I appreciate him no less for that - he was addicting to listen to, and that's what matters most IMO.
"They pretended to pay us and we pretended to work." - From my ~68 yo ex-colleague from USSR who lived through the times. Despite that wry comment, he was brilliant and had a Phd. in optics from Moscow University and for whatever reason had to reboot his career as a level 1 technician when he came over to the US. Also, was promoted 5-6 levels up within a year (at Seagate I believe).
> The boomers represent the biggest social change of any generation in centuries.

Boomers were the primary drivers of the "Satanic panic" as parents in the 80's - they are not counter-culture or friends of Rock, by and large.
Given how people already will say anything for a raise, I don't see how posting salary ranges in JDs changes those claims. As the employer, you still set the raise. If people want to double their compensation, they aren't vying for a raise: they're looking for a new job. So companies give 3-10% a year, and if the employee doesn't like it, it's up to them to walk. Most people don't want to walk, because leetcoding and job hunting is work. So, the employer can give modest raises without rocking the boat. Employees vote with their feet. Anyone with one eye open can look at levels.fyi and know that 2021 market rates != 2019 market rates. Been a role for 2+ years and want a meaningful comp change? You have to leave, that's how it is.
This doesn't work if every firm lists jobs like that, which is happening in CO
Absolutely - that was the point I was making. It'll be harder because we have to go into the hardware rather than the software, but we'll break it.

The PPV in the 90s was broken because too few bits were used on the encryption and it became possible to essentially brute force the keys, IIRC.
Ok I see your point now and I agree. If there is no way for others to distinguish between grinding and pay-to-win then social signaling ceases to be a motive and you're only left with personal satisfaction.
