That's not strictly true. It doesn't cost them _much_ but holding and tracking other people's money has a cost.

That said, I think the better answer is to send it to the state as unclaimed property.
I worked with a guy who wrote code like this. He was, indeed, pretty productive, but it was hell sitting next to him without good headphones. Was this guy you're referring to a long haired, kinda scruffy guy who had worked at Amazon at one point?
It's interesting that down-voters never seem to have the fortitude to explain themselves. That they have down-voted I take as a compliment, as it means that I have succeeded in getting my point across.
My take on this is that some code is 10X better than no code.

There have been times when I've had to abandon incorporating an idea presented in a research paper because the paper doesn't have enough information for me to implement it in code. I could've made a lot of progress with some proof of concept code, even if it wasn't clean.
*nobody who was well compensated left their role due to money.

If I can leave my job right now and make 30% more than my current salary for doing the same work as my current company is only giving out 3%-4% a year max pay increases than I am a fool for staying.
This is illogical.

Did he die? Did he suffer severe symptoms? No.

What makes this different than a vaccinated person contracting the virus and having mild/no symptoms?

You took a vaccine that has not been updated since it was created to target the Alpha variant. He caught a previous variant, and both of you are not protected from contracting omicron. However, both of you are at far lower risk of severe illness due to the previous exposure your immune systems have to the virus. The only difference is the payload. He was exposed to an entire virus, and therefore his antibodies/t-cells are less targeted and broader. You were exposed only to the spike protein which coats the virus, and therefore have a highly targeted immune response that is less broad. So what?

The results are what matter. This is just religious posturing. You want everyone to take the same sacrament as you, regardless of outcomes.

There are multiple studies with massive cohorts (the Israeli study has 2.5 MILLION people in it) that show that this virus is TYPICAL in the sense that when someone catches it, then clears it, the immune system is behind this. Previously infected people were proven in this study to have superior immunity to delta than fully vaccinated people, and the margins were not small.

But sure, ignore that and focus on your sample size of 1 to confirm your priors.
Just this week I chose to move laterally within a company. But that does entail leaving my former role, so I think the psychology is similar.

I had been working in a game development role, developing gameplay features. The position I moved to is developing service infrastructure for the game developers.

For a bit of history, my software career started at this company developing tools for the customer support department (I actually originally worked in customer support and my development promotion came about because I was developing tools for myself and my teammates). That went on for a number of years and I enjoyed it. I also did a bit of anti-cheating work, which I pushed for, so that was a good time too. Then I was placed onto this game feature role without any say in the matter.

I knew even before this change occurred that I don't care about commercial game development. I have plenty of amateur game development experience, but it's not something I have any interest in doing all day every day, especially when the motivation is commercial rather than artistic, and especially especially when higher-level decision makers relentlessly interfere. What I care about to the extent I can happily do it on a daily basis is making tools that make those around me more effective, pretty much regardless of what they're doing, because that makes the people around me happier.

So when I was asked if I was interested in this role, although I negotiated terms a little bit, basically I realized I had no actual leverage because just the work itself was such an appealing change to me. Incidentally I did get a substantial raise, but I'd made up my mind before that was even presented.

I also had some minor frustrations with the team I left, but I honestly think the team itself was on a promising trajectory, just the larger game development organization they were in (and my new team is outside of) was not. So I suppose in the "People don't quit jobs, they quit managers" frame, I quit the senior leadership of the game.
The article says EBV is prevalent and is probably necessary but not sufficient for MS. If I was in that position I would look at my gene test results for any markers that correlate with MS. The more of those markers, the more intensely I would prioritize following relevant interventions.

Agreed - people who employ dishonest tactics during negotiation should be left alone at the table.

I have been in this situation in the past and it's always the right move to walk if they won't come to the table when you ask politely.
This would be the human equivalent of DUI, which doesn’t give much reason for optimism.
I like the notion of breaking job satisfaction into "motivators" and "hygiene factors" (Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory [1]).

Motivators actively cause job satisfaction. Things like finding personal fulfillment, meaningful work, and other top-of-Maslow's-hierarchy stuff.

Hygiene factors cause dissatisfaction in their absence, but aren't standalone motivators. Salary probably fits in this bucket - if you learn that you're underpaid, you're likely to feel demotivated and look for work elsewhere. If you learn that you're overpaid, that can cause dissatisfaction too (feeling like you have to serve out the rest of a prison sentence until your shares/options vest is pretty common in our industry).

Compensation isn't everything, but if it seems unfair, it's absolutely enough to motivate people to make changes. I think we're seeing a reevaluation of labor market expectations with the whole Great Resignation thing, where those who are in demand are realizing just how demanded their skills are (and getting pissed off that they're undercompensated in their $current_job), and the old generation you speak of is trotting forward with their fingers in their ears, blinded by normalcy bias to the fundamental shift happening in front of them - a big labor market awakening.

You've answered your own question.
My anecdote is that because of a large stock decline since starting, unless my company gives an unheard of refresher grant, then my income is going down something like 25-30%. They're no longer competitive because they have infrequent comp adjust cycles and other companies pay target comp with today's stock price. I think people who start new jobs now are going to make bank when the tech sector recovers, albeit maybe a few years.
My impression (as a stay-at-home father) is that there are more men caring for children than ever before in the US. Primarily due to better access to careers for women and less (though still non-zero) social stigma.

> The article says that 14 and 17 year old are pedophilia, which is a range that is not widely considered pedophilia

“Pedophilia” in common use includes both “pedophilia” and “ephebophilia” in the strict sense. There's not a whole lot of value on being excessively particular about this in common speech except when scientific research about things like the immutably of (certain patterns of) pedophilia in the strict sense is used to justify arguments, and particularly public policy, addressing “pedophilia” in the expansive sense. It’s fine for words to have different meaning in different contexts.
Well one obvious reason is that they're more likely than cis people to be able to contrast actual lived experiences.

Also, is it "always"? Or are you just identifying it here?
A large majority of job switching this past year is largely due to covid.

Industries being affected differently, working arragements changing, and a big one being that during the pandemic many people were afraid to resign during a time of crisis and held on to jobs that they normally would have gotten rid of sooner.

Then of course you have the resulting inflation and price mismatches in the job markets and it's often easier to switch jobs than to negotiate higher salaries.

I don't think your poll options really allow you to capture the big picture.
Nuclear startup Oklo gets thumbs-down from regulators
I left my previous job because breach of trust - if you're telling me for months that we're going to use language A, and then you go with language B, then that's not really treating your team with respect. I'd be happy learning new language, if it's right for the job. Making a decision on a whim is not something one should do, without consulting with people that actually built the platform.
Does this imply that there's an actual market for real content writers? It doesn't surprise me that there are a lot of scammers, but I also wouldn't have thought that there was a lot of demand for "please just write something for me".

That actually sounds like a fun job, though I'm sure it's tedious. He spent $600 to get a 2k word article... a thing that would likely take me perhaps 2-4 hours to create to be genuinely worth reading. Is there actually a career path there?
> it's much easier for me to order food online than to call a restaurant.

I feel like this is where bots would do well - you can say "order me a burger with extra mayo and fries for pickup at 5pm" and it should negotiate all the minutiae for you. Doing this all manually requires a bunch of menu navigation. Maybe a phone bot is still a bad fit but doing something like this using your on-phone voice assistant or typing it into a text window feels reasonable.
I suspect that the so-called Great Resignation follows a period of nobody leaving their jobs, presumably due to fear of what was to come amid the pandemic. Last year reports were indicating that a record number of people wanted to leave their jobs, but weren’t, thus giving us a glut of people ready to leave all at once instead of doing so over a longer period of time like they normally would. This would also explain the so-called Labour Shortage we were hearing about. With people not looking to job hop, people applying for work dried up, leaving a liquidity problem. In normal times employers always have someone ready to leave their current position in which to hire.
I chose the option of making a bot that logs in every 150ms.

Yes, I did it at the beginning of the pandemic. I'm not implying that they would be working from home simultaneously with caring for children. Just that their schedules could be more flexible to deal with the various things that come up in parenting easier than when working from an office.

Source: myself being a parent that has benefited from this very thing.
The sociological aspects are always prime to me. When I find a rhythm, a place and a group, a lot of my minds goes relaxed. Even if the job is boring, even if the pay is lame.

And yeah every time you get sad or suffering at your job you get the reflex to want to be compensated for the pain. Or you can even think of sabotaging the place a bit.

I actually left a fake job paid very well because of the toxicity.
Reversing an integer hash function
The implication is that your property (aka your wealth, in whatever asset form it lives) is not yours to dispose of as you choose. Rather, the GP thinks it should either be seized or managed someone else (which is really just seizure under a nicer name).
The threshold where you have enough has been driven up by crazy rents and house prices. Personally, I want my house paid off before I'm 40, so I shoot for maximum earnings and remote work that lets me live in a cheaper place. That ratio makes my ambition very attainable.

Related is the sustainability of work: I don't want to need high earnings past 40. I want to retire into a second career I'll find more fulfilling but which might pay dramatically less. Higher pay now is the only way I can achieve this.

No, I don't think from snacking, anyway, though also since just before the pandemic started and I was spending more time at home, I started exercising regularly, too.
"Reproducing results" in a scientific context doesn't mean taking the original author's data and going through the same process. It usually means taking different data and going through the same process. Having code on hand to put new data through the same process makes that a lot easier.
So can we create a system that does not tie work with compensation? Can we have life-balancism, flexibilitism, and culturism instead of capitalism?
I don't think this is true anymore. Look, most of us here make good money. But look around, things are getting crazy.

I think get what you can get while you can get it and sock away as much as you can.
Bitcast.online solves this.
To be super pedantic, because I think it's interesting: At the US the Computer Science major was in the college of Arts and the Computer Engineering major was in the college of engineering, but besides general education electives the majors only differed by 1 CSE course and 1 or 2 low-credit math courses (most CS/CE majors took the CSE courses required for both).

In Germany, the equivalent major is Informatik, which literally translates to English as Information Science but is basically Computer Science. There are some colleges that offer technische Informatik, which would be Computer Engineering, and a degree in engineering, but as far as I can tell that's rarer.

Computer Science isn't officially an engineering degree, but I definitely wouldn't consider it a science degree. The only scientific experiments were in gen ed physics courses.
He was -- or rather his correspondent was--speaking of mathematics:

"""

In 1840 I received from my friend M. Plana a letter pressing me strongly to visit Turin at the then approaching meeting of Italian philosophers. In that letter M. Plana stated that he had inquired anxiously of many of my countrymen about the power and mechanism of the Analytical Engine. He remarked that from all the information he could collect the case seemed to stand thus:—

“Hitherto the legislative department of our analysis has been all powerful—the executive all feeble.

“Your engine seems to give us the same control over the executive which we have hitherto only possessed over the legislative department.”

No, it isn't. Free fall is invariant: attach an accelerometer to the object and it reads zero. That is true regardless of your choice of reference frame.
In the late-90s, the selling point for jobs in the newspaper (yes, this is how it worked) was "free laptop." I know of several people who jumped job-to-job to get a newer Thinkpad.

Hmm I knew at least one person who did it.. Yes, it's exactly how you'd imagine.
I think you're correct to a degree that when we choose Option 1 then it makes Option 2 less urgent.

But! Usually Option 1 is much less efficient long-term than Option 2, so – as long as we're both talking theoretically here – then theoretically the entity that is footing the bill for the 100k security force would see how freaking expensive it is and would advocate with a loud voice for Option 2 to get implemented as soon as possible.
Somewhat related to the "dead internet theory", but in this case one side of the relationship is just not quite dead yet.
The chip shortage means I can't manufacture electronics products so I see a long period (potentially of unknown length) of no income for my business, so had to put the electronics business on hold and find a regular job. Decided to do this proactively before I actually had to.

I am grateful that it was relatively easy to find new fulfilling work. This seems like a good time to look for a job.

> Why is compensation #1 though?

Is this a serious question?
Here in Russia, prison time is rarely more than 10 years, even for serious crimes like murder. Even terrorists sometimes get just 25 years. In the US on the other hand, it's not uncommon to hear that someone was sentenced to 400 years for some mere fraud. Also, they'd find themselves in a foreign, hostile environment.
I don't think it's a very good way of expressing that the objects were in free fall, no. Nor, as far as I can tell, does the actual paper (as opposed to the pop science article) use such an expression.
How convenient. Any reason they couldn't have done this years ago? I suspect in this case, "arrested" = "hired".
Beautiful. I remember hearing it said that if you're not willing to walk away completely from a negotiation, you have zero actual leverage. Bravo!
> but I'd put up with less ideal conditions if the pay was worth it.

They are called golden handcuffs for a reason. I think for the majority of people, they will do this. I know I will.
Yeah. I agree with the article there almost certainly isn't a singular reason. But the timeline correlation to personal computers (and associated gaming) is hard to shrug off. And it makes sense. Another aspect of the same correlation is that, at the university level, computers increasingly became something you were sort of expected to have some familiarity with if you were going to major in computer science.

Today, look at the intro computer science classes at most of the better schools and imagine take them never having really done any programming or serious computer use before.

(And of course gender imbalance can beget gender imbalance for all sorts of reasons.)
Here's a good example. The Fisher's iris flower data was released with his work in a 1936 paper. It was used as an example of his discriminate analysis. This data set has been repeatedly used over and over to show examples of cluster analysis and segmentation. Many statistics teachers use it in their curriculum. You never know where the research could lead to growth and development in a field.

Do you know anyone where that threshold has been reached? Anyone with a family? Given the way inflation is going, I know maybe one person, and they're single with their mortgage paid off.

It doesnt matter if it's the majority. It only matters on a per individual capability.

The market is actually pretty small for super focussed with PaaS with a specialized business model. Trust me, been there, done that. You have to not only communicate why your PaaS is better than others out there in the market but Also de-mystify why they should adopt your pricing model too.

My argument is that most of the small business and startups struggle to make revenue from get go. Asking for revshare, when it is day-0/day-1 kind of situation can hit the startups, small business, individuals really hard.

To me the your model looks very close to a royalty structure. Which I do not think many orgs and serious startups would like.

Another argument is that, Major cloud providers give away a lot of credits for various services. It can go upto $100k. I would even argue that you don't need devops or specialized team from you are a small org, startup and your operations are small.

Anyways, Looks like a fun project. I actually think the Micro, Base and Drive looks very promising and I wouldn't mind paying based on usage. I think, It can be a fun place to host apps for indie hackers. Would love to list Deta Cloud on Awesome Paas[1] list.

There has been such a dramatic increase in comp in the tech industry recently. But it seems that is only realized through switching companies. I know for the company I'm at offers to external candidates have had to keep pace with the market, but we haven't had the budgets to increase the existing employee base. So new people typically make ~25%++ more than good tenured people.
