The cause is companies refuse to fund education and refuse to take on graduates. The system is meant to be that new engineers learn from experienced engineers. This doesn't work when all the company wants is experienced engineers. It naturally leads to applicants abusing the hiring process.

This is the plain fact that those well off with their jobs just don't understand. Education is far too expensive, causing anyone but the funded kids to have to work - not focus on education. Walk into any university and see it in realtime. We treat students like cash cows, give them no support, and expect they will want to take on a hard degree when seniors are being turned down left and right? Yeah, no. American companies have created this problem for themselves and deserve to close their doors.

The amount invested in the company is provided by each separate investor, but those investors do not then negotiate separate deals with each worker. The investors “collude” together to creat the business and have greater negotiating power than they would on their own.

A union is merely the labor version of joining together to increase leverage and is not any special level of collusion greater than the investors is what I am getting at

And yes saying the workers are colluding because they are working on the same car is what’s happening if you are going to call banding together to negotiate rates is colluding. There is non union labor and other unions
If he doesn't want to ruin his personal experience of it too much, he could license the name and UI in some way to a developer whereby the developer gets some return, but the bulk goes to a foundation of his choosing. That way he doesn't get too embroiled in the work aspect. The clones are inevitable, so might as well head them off and continue the positive vibe.

other than the contingency fee, what do they have to gain? that's literally how recruiters make money!
It's because they dont pay them enough. Pay more and you will get better engineers.
I know why you can't in DFW: inflation has skyrocketed and home values and rents have risen 33% in 2 years but companies, including defense contractors and multinationals, are still trying to pay $70-90K for senior developers.

I get bombarded by recruiters all the freaking time, but I tell them straight up that I will not be offering any references except straight to an employer after an offer in hand (this kills off most of their interest) and that I would never entertain an offer unless it was a significant pay increase (which means it's gonna have to be an SV company doing the hiring).
I didn't make any argument about actual policy. I simply pointed out that people should over-react to CPI based inflation measures.

You certainly can if you make 5 million a year! Which means that absolute income is absolutely relevant.
I never heard of Wordle until this post mentioned it so I'd say his decision is good advertising.
> Have you done this/had this kind of internal "poach" happen to you

First job, was the QE and release build person for the team of embedded devs.

QE turned into QE automation (think AT commands in a loop & basic JTAG), release build work turned into being CVS admin & a sort of manual Jenkins job (come by my desk, drop a patch, get a debug build out faster than the dev laptops when the build server was idle).

And the result was that when a dev left, I was lifted into dev and someone else was hired into QE to run my scripts every week.

In under 2 years from start to finish, I was out of the door because it went from a work-item project to a time-driven project (so the faster you were, the worse the billable hours looked). I wasn't going to stick around office and fake overtime.

Ok. Then in your opinion, those are "real choices" that people can use against microsoft or standard oil.
Rapacious boomers punishing the underclass. Quite simple really.
I've found Unpoly to be a nice middleground between those framework specific solutions and htmx
I was recently "poached" as an engineer myself. I really like working for the company I'm at, but was ready for a change and new challenges. A colleague I'd previously worked with was building a new team reached out to see if I'd join his team. It sounded like a great opportunity, so I said yes. It's been a good decision.

Internal poaching is hardly uncommon and in fact you'll often see engineers follow each other large companies in small flocks- on engineer is frustrated, gets an internal transfer, and tries to get the best engineers from thier old team to join thier new team is. This is networking (the interpersonal kind) at work.
Speaking as a technical person who also has considerable design experience, those initial colors you shared seem quite poor for anything but the most subtle of accent colors (perhaps a fanciful doodle on the side, or a very particular button in one place that's supposed to really pop). But as major colors in a branding guide/ site theme—yikes. Same with the blue. Way too saturated, RGB-style primary. Unless you're in a plastic toys for babies space, hmm.

If you're indeed "the product guy" on the team I don't understand how your opinion can be so overtly overruled and devalued. I'd be truly steamed.
Here's an article about the IP around Wordle [1]. In short, people cannot rip-off the 'look-and-feel' of Wordle, but they may work around it. The idea behind Wordle itself is, as the article points out, not original.

Hopefully it works out for the creator. Maybe helping to spread the word that 'app X is not the original Wordle' might help to give him more visibility among people playing the game.

Ten dollars for headphones? United States Dollars? Who are you, Bill Gates?!

Personally; I steal a bit of copper wire from whoever had the misfortune of parking outside my box, I mean, house, then wire it up to a couple styrofoam cups I dig out of the garbage can down on the corner. With how compressed MP3s are, I doubt anyone could tell the difference. I can't imagine why anyone buys headphones, really.

Then again... Airpods & Airpods Pro are reported by many sources to be the best selling headphones of 2021... but I'm sure, in aggregate, all those wish.com $10 cans outnumber their sales... and let's also, you know, not consider the more fair comparison of aggregating Alexa Buds, Sony XM4s, Bose Buds, Surface Buds, Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds Live, Pixel Buds, Beats Buds... If there's a reason why every company and their mother churns out Beans like they're going out of style, it probably isn't because they're, uh, selling. They're all Premium Brands making Premium Products for Select Clientele.

What makes you think managers care about this?
PostHog is more focused on product analytics rather than web analytics. It's a very different product to Plausible so we didn't really do a comparison with them. I would say they're more of an alternative to Mixpanel, Amplitude and those type of products rather than an alternative to Google Analytics and other web analytics tools.

(the second Plausible cofounder here)
That link you referred to about 1% seems to be just firings. From personal experience with someone who works in California hospitals, I can say that there is massive stigma to those unvaccinated (with no regards to previous infection immunity, of which 2 years into the pandemic I'd wager 1/2 of them have it due to proximity), and a good portion of that 20% you mentioned quit will be preemptive because of dissatisfaction with mandate policies and stigma.

My two cents is don't think too hard and just enjoy the game. Let it be. Que sera, sera.

Isn't it said in startup circles that ideas are nothing and execution is everything? Isn't it also said elsewhere that money doesn't buy happiness?

Someone else's viral fad doesn't need to fit neatly into some preconceived idealistic notion of success. It's literally a viral fad; the whole point is to not fit neatly into predictable molds.
Our local news agent used to have a single arcade machine outside the door when I was growing up in the early eighties. They started with a defender machine, fantastic game but really difficult and not super popular. That was replaced with with Galaga for a brief period, then Zaxxon.

None of us really got used to Zaxxon. Defender was hard but learnable, galaga is an exercise in memory which was hard but you didn't feel like it was unlearnable. Zaxxon seemed arbitrarily difficult, especially the janky collision detection.

The local kids got their galaga machine back when we complained to the news agent.

> Stop moving the lamppost there was an option and YOU couldn't because you left your vaccine passport at home during a pandemic.

I am moving the lamppost (this last time) for you and everyone else to figure out that I was wrongly accused by you.

You have no idea what you are talking about and you are jumping to conclusions, because apparently you want me to be wrong about this so hard.
I left before the pandemic and there was absolutely no requirement to have a vacc pass for my destination at any time. Stamping yellow passes was not even offered at the place of my vaccination. Probably somehow it would have been possible if I had the pass, but that was at least never communicated to me. I called the embassy multiple times and asked how to convert that into a cert that is accepted in the EU. They had no idea at that point. Just like you.
No, volume does not indicate that something is a 'good deal'. When market failure occurs (e.g. due to lacking competition), prices are distorted. How much this impacts volume depends on elasticity. A good with relatively inelastic demand will have high volume whether there is a good deal or not.

And you can frame it however you want, the price for iOS distribution is not determined by market forces because there is no competition for it. Distributing an application on android is not an alternative, but complimentary. It's like if there were two delivery services in the US, each covering one part of the country. It doesn't matter that there isn't only one delivery service, both of them still have a monopoly because they're not competing in regards to what they actually sell.

If you're spending $5 on a VPS, aren't there actual VPN services that cost $5 or less that you don't have to manually set up and destroy?

If you're just doing it for fun (kinda like "hosting your own mail") I recommend setting up an IKEv2 IPSec VPN. It might be the hardest VPN to set up? But you learn a good deal about VPNs and networking. Most OSes ship with a native IPSec VPN implementation, and most "enterprise" VPNs are some variation of IPSec. Mobile devices, internal firewalls, internet gateways, enterprise AWS tunnels, etc. You can keep getting fancier by adding VLANs, GRE, BGP, certificates, RADIUS.
Does this shift holding send electric shocks to the fingers of the person linking to pinterest?
I really don't care about inflation measures. Its simply not the right input tool.

Its not about 'acknowledging' increases in the price level, The price level CPI measure is just a measure, if it goes up, I do 'acknowledge' that.

However, what and if monetary policy should be, should not be guided by CPI inflation.

> Inflation originally meant 'an increase in the money supply' (what we now call m1), which is what we've seen over the past two years.

This is true for a very long time ago but has not been used like that for many decades.

Bringing that point up is really a non issue, even in the 70s people were not using it like that. Basically no modern economics has ever viewed it like that.

This is just a confusing point and argument about language. Yes, if you use that definition inflation has been high, but that does not actually change the policy response at all.

> When the governments enacted their responses to COVID, many predicted 'inflation', and some denied it would happen. Does this count? What would 'count'?

Again, you seem to be not at all understanding what I am arguing. I am not arguing that inflation doesn't exist.

CPI Inflation simply doesn't mean what people think it means in terms of central bank policy.

I have made no statement about what central bank policy should be, I have not actually studied the numbers in detail.
I don't understand why cities mandate so much surface parking. It makes the city worse for everyone, including drivers. Why not have the parking under buildings? Sure it's a bit more expensive to build, but saves so much space! And the cars don't sit out in the sun while you shop. Maybe it would be best if there were no parking mandates at all and cities let the market figure out the right amount of parking space.
There's a shopping centre carpark here in South Australia where the shade structures are solar panels. Useful for customers in rain or heat, and obviously practical beyond that. You can see it here, plus the panels on the shopping centre also.

In a certain kind of environment, maybe cool tech and loyalty could have been the tiebreaker for engineers in the job market, but it's very difficult to stare a 100% raise with similar WLB in the face and not think about making a move.
>> Because professionals don’t want to monitor stock prices 24/7

> I'm sure you could pay professionals to work in shifts to monitor stock prices 24/7.

I guess you'd have to pay somebody extra to monitor those prices overnight. And the companies themselves by-and-large are doing less in the middle of the night in their local time. I mean, I know it is pretty detached from reality, but the stock at least tries to pretend that it is in some way grounded in the fundamentals of the companies involved, right? No news, no new info to make trades on.

Age-old prejudices behind labor shortages in China's manufacturing sector
Almost happened to me once, I turned it down because I'd just started and I felt a duty to the person that hired me. That was a good decision, because it would've moved me out of an engineering oriented department into a maintenance/infrastructure oriented one, which I was already good at, if I had taken them up on it I wouldn't have learned and grown the way I did.

If I was already familiar with my current role enough that it became repetitive and there was more to learn in the other team, absolutely I would do it. I've always got to be learning new things or I begin to lose my mind.
> If it's -only- a supply shock, then prices would eventually come down, right?

Not necessarily.

> Well, we are finding that to be less and less true. So something else is going on beneath the surface.

That's fine. We have ways to do monetary policy while accepting whatever else is going on.

If you target NGDP Levels your demand function already balances supply and demand correctly by itself.
Autonomous cars make everything difficult and therefore pretty fun, if difficulty is fun :). Let's talk about door knob release. Ok, so now that there isn't a person driving the car, how do you authenticate that the person at the door is who it should be? All of a sudden you've opened a whole can of worms with that one question. The answer to that problem is gonna be a lot more complex than an electronic lock on a house door.

Even web dev is interesting. lots of bespoke visualization and debugging tools had to be created from scratch because nothing on the market solved the problems that autonomous cars pose. Look at webviz created by cruise as an example.
To me, working from home during the pandemic has made my employer fungible. Having to commute to work used to mean that where my job was located mattered. Being physically located at the office meant more socializing with coworkers, so companies could offer perks, like free food, or social events. They could differentiate from other companies by offering these things or selling their "culture". None of that matters anymore.

Nowadays, work is just signing into my machine every morning and joining a Zoom meeting for standup. Interacting with coworkers is either via Zoom meetings or via Slack. I hardly need to interact with them apart from work-related matters. There isn't an opportunity to chat at the coffee machine, or grab lunch together, or get drinks after work. The work is now just the work that I do and not the people I work with or the building that I commute to.

What does this all mean for me? It means if I find the kind of work I do boring, or I don't think I'm paid well enough, I can just quit. I can judge companies I work for based on pay, type of work I do, likelihood of promotion (for more pay), and how many hours I need to put in. All the other things that could impact how much I love working for company X are gone. It's purely "what is the job doing for me?" now. I think that's playing a role in people wanting to quit. They're no longer tied to their jobs as much as they used to be. They're realizing if they don't like it, they can just leave.

Also note that last man standing with shrinking play zone was the multiplayer experience of the Bomberman game series, going back as far as 1983, but the japanese battle royal novel may have been inspired more by other "winner takes all" or "last survivor" patterns in popular culture and games that are far older. (wrestling and boxing, to be precise which included more "multiplayer" in the past than today). I wonder where the novel took the "forbidden zones" idea from, that became PUBGs "bombardment zones"

You don't need to worry about Josh making money or not. He's doing what he wants to do for rewards other than money, and debasing his effort into some sort of money grab is not necessary.
I strongly disagree. The central bank is always in control, they can not be, not in control.

If they are not hitting targets its just bad leadership.

So never fall into the trap of thinking the central bank has not 'teeth'. They could hit almost any target they wanted.

The only thing that needs to change is the mind of people on the control board.

This would be low if it happened without mitigations (or the first half year of that being before the disease had spread to most of America). It happened when mitigations severe enough to reduce flu deaths a hundredfold were in place. Do you not understand that?
