Whats different with these two? Why does it take so long in general?
>Finally, one last point. Many moms don't get enough support during this time. But if a mom gets 20% of the support they need, Dads get 0

Lol I guess this hits the nail right on the head. Weird enough I even kept telling my wife that I was feeling depressed and she dismissed it in an instant asking how it is possible.

>What I did was basically said "Until the child is 1, forget all this job stuff. If you take your job seriously, your family will suffer. And if you are sleep deprived and cranky, you are not going to succeed at your job. Do you want to fail at your job and as a parent, or just fail at your job for a while" When my child was one, I decided to make that "Until your child is 2, forget your job crap."

Not sure if I was getting this right, but do you mean that it was getting tight to focus on your job for the first 2 years? Is that mostly because of baby duties?
Fair point.

I'm more advising caution due to my background as an exmormon. "Product of their time" is used frequently by mormon apologists to excuse the racist or predatory behaviors of the founders of the religion. I also see it used for excusing the actions of the founding fathers or confederate generals.

When I see someone say "we can't judge the romans for their actions" my mind instantly goes to thinking "Well, what are their peers saying?" I think it's fair to judge them based on how their peers judge them. Maybe that's completely missing from the historical record (again, not a roman historian), but something that I think everyone should keep before taking the mental shortcut of "product of their time".
A certain class of people have won, not the company, and definitely not the drivers.
pretty interesting topics I'd say
At some point, no amount of money is worth it.

I can hardly imagine earning $350k a year. I've never earned a third of that anually. What I can imagine is a job that places such a demand on my time and attention that I don't have time for a life outside of it.
Sagas like these succinctly demonstrate the moral hazard of cryptocurrencies and other forms of organized faithless financial activity: we're all idly speculating on the next fool's willingness to buy into the scheme. There is no incentive for honest action (or innovation, for that matter), and there cannot be until there is ample regulation.

I don't have overwhelming amounts of sympathy for the accredited investors who buy into these schemes at petty individual scales, but I do have sympathy for the honest employers and employees trying to survive in a faithless economy.
The "new folder" workflow in Finder is one of the most infuriating things I've ever seen in macOS. I swear, they used to just have a "new folder" button in the olden days.

Valve devs have a lot more leeway than your average developer. They honestly might have just thought it would be cooler.

Beyond that they now have the infrastructure to detect more subtle forms of cheating through deep learning using Overwatch (the reporting system, not the game) as ground truth data to train their AI.
This is good news for tech workers, but the income disparity between Amazon tech workers and Amazon warehouse/delivery workers is absolutely obscene.

Understandably, skilled vs unskilled labor, and supply and demand, and all that, but as Jon Stewart recently recounted telling Jeff Bezos at a dinner party, “sounds like a recipe for a revolution.”

IMHO those aren't always friends. 1 in 100 maybe, but mostly I found they're people I partied with and that's it.

> How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost?

When I turned 42 I found the answer for me, be less of a piece of shit, like in a deeply metaphorical way. For me that meant take on more significant personal responsibility and expect less from the world.

For you?

Have a kid or kids, no joke. And yes, of course, all the other things that go with that, a partner, a steady job, a nice place to live, etc... They and your partner are built in friends.

Or dogs, or a dog. Barring those options maybe a cat. And if none of those appeal then a few plants. Maybe starting with a spider plant, they're pretty robust and were my first foray into the space. And if not a plant than long long walks in nature, everyday.

It sounds like you're very introspective, and not to sound dismissive, but you may be spending too much time thinking about yourself. It might be time to take care of another person or creature.
If you look at it as FANNG's employing people to keep them from working for others it makes a bit more sense.
And I'm only just now seeing at the bottom of the thread someone else asked the same and got an answer a few hours ago. Heh. But thank you!
I agree! I have not had the opportunity to work at Google or Facebook but at my current job I always take up forsaken projects as that usually has a lot of up potential and very less down potential. Everybody wants to work on the shining new tech but no one wants to work on that maintenance project which is actually is creating those new tech opportunities in the first place.

It's a start. Many other companies haven't gotten the weird idea that people like to be paid more money or they go elsewhere to find more money.

At the end of the day, it's a job. And jobs that pay the most usually recruits the best.

If they're looking at $350k base salary plus incentives, I may give them another look, especially if I can still do WFH.
Lack of justification for operational definition?

That's pretty subjective and could be leveled against almost anything behavioral or psychological.

The thing about the Big Five is that it has surfaced in all sorts of contexts. You can maybe say maybe the 5 per se is not well justified (as opposed to 4 or 6 or 7, for example), but if you take enough ratings of a person, some variant of those 5 will probably work as reasonable summaries of the ratings, and they will account for a substantial chunk of their predictive variance. The thing too, is that if you take other types of variables, like clinical symptom ratings, or diagnoses, you start to see roughly similar types of attributes become prominent.

The Big Five is a descriptive model of how people perceive others. There's a lot of evidence for certain mechanistic processes being heavily involved in some (e.g., positive emotion in extraversion, negative emotion in neuroticism, behavioral control with conscientiousness, etc.) but I'm not sure the original idea behind the Big Five was mechanistic -- it was a hypothesis about major dimensions that could summarize social perceptual data. It's like classification in biology pre-DNA era. People have some ideas of how things go together, and find it useful for organizing descriptions and measuremnts.

It's like if you did unsupervised DL modeling of all the videos involving humans you can find on the web, and found that their classification could be accounted for by 5 major vectors, almost all the time, regardless of sampling. Wouldn't you want to know that?

Many other measures are very mechanistically well-justified but lack ecological validity, in the sense that they are very narrow predictively and not well outside of laboratory contexts. That's fine, there's a tension there between predictive bandwidth and depth, but if you want any kind of rating of a human being's behavior and experience, you enter at your own risk if you think you'll measure something that's radically different from the Big Five (or something subsumed by cognitive measures). Can you do it? Sure, but a lot of the time no (see: grit).

The relevant part was his status as a APP student, so that's what I would go with for the headline.

Using an irrelevant bit because it will get more clicks seems to fall under the "click bait" domain, especially when he was a grad from CS, not a current major.

Personally I would be more interested to know that it was a newbie student to an academic field debunked a core tenet. "New APP Students Debunks Core APP Finding" is much more interesting to me than a coincidence of the former academics pursuits with mine. It implies the question, "If a brand new student to the field saw this error so quickly, why didn't anyone else?"
> We should also think about the Proud Boys and Sons of Odin who have gone to the rally to radicalize its participants. The on-the-ground experience of regular folks participating will be of being called Nazis, traitors, Klansmen, bigots, etc. Not only will this place greater distance between the participants and urban Canadian society; it will make them look less unfavourably on others who are called Nazis and Klansmen. How bad could those guys really be, they will ask themselves? Were they also smeared as part of a bum rap by shills for the pharmaceutical industry?

Is there a name for this argument? I find myself making this same argument often, in a variety of situations. Something like "Failure to Consider the Externalities of Wrongful Accusation", but more succinct?
>but I read this and it sounded like someone who thought very highly of themselves, has limited work experience, has limited experience in technology but expects the company to work around their needs.

This was also my takeaway. I think, in general, younger people feel more entitled and have no idea how things really work. They want you to cater to them, rarely want to put in the effort, and want big money for it and think they are an expert that knows more than anyone that's been doing a given job for any worthwhile amount of time. Just a quick glance at /r/antiwork and /r/overemployed are a good cursory look at this sort of mentality.

Similarly go look at YouTube videos of 'day in the life' type content for data analysts/data scientists, you get a lot of "I wake up, check emails, go ride my bike for an hour, look at emails, cook a fancy breakfast, look at emails, go CrossFit/shower/cook lunch/take my kid to the wherever for 2 hours, I then hop on a meeting for an hour, then I run a python script, then I cook dinner for my partner and eat it, play some video games, and go to bed. I enjoy my 6-figure income".
Here is an example from a coworker from a previous job:

A candidate came in for an interview. It was quickly apparent he slipped by the phone screen, as he brought code examples in MS Word documents.
During the interview, he claimed to be the second coming of Christ. The interviewers (my coworker and his boss) wisely said nothing in response and moved on to a different topic.

A few weeks later, he initiated a lawsuit claiming we did not hire him due to religious discrimination. It was a nuisance suit and dismissed as such, but a good reminder that interviews are business transactions, not chats between friends.

A very short list of questions that would potentially be cause for a lawsuit:

- religion

- family (i.e. do you have kids)

- culture (aside from work behaviors)

- personal background

- race

- health (nothing at all can be said short of stating that accomodations can be provided if necessary, assuming the job does not have physical requirements such as lifting or driving).

There are more, but I think this should give you a decent idea. The point is not that everyone is litigious, but rather that there are people who are, and you must act as a representative of the company during an interview.

Personally, I would not expect someone to take an active role in interviewing unless they had some training or I knew they were already experienced- partly for these reasons, but more so because it is not an easy skill. I have suffered through bad interviews at companies, and wouldnt want a company I work for to make those mistakes.

Will Amazon at any point start considering hiring more engineers from countries that command lesser salaries like Brazil/EU than they do US engineers?

Why do US engineers command such higher salaries?
The nice thing is that it doesn't matter what I believe is deserved or not the thing is that there was wrong doing and that the wrong doing should be teached in school. Imagine Germany not teaching their children about the second world war. LOL
I would expect there to be more pushback and revolting if Google suddenly said you can't use the free Gmail product for business. I can't even guess the number of contractors, artists, coffee shops, Etsy stores, food trucks, etc that I've personally interacted with that are using Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL email accounts for their business.
Ah, I recognized some of the names from the benchmarks game so I sort of just assumed it was a reposting of them.
If I may, I suspect your angle on this might be slightly askew at least from my perspective. Almost all the major game engines are now supporting a native vulkan/linux renderer. I'm running in godot 4 right now. If anything, watching things like glorious eggrolls proton and the dxvk repo [1] I think the people working at the direct translation level are causing more eyes on vulkan than it would otherwise be getting.

My actual concern for proton/wine on linux is security related. The binary game space is a security nightmare, and enabling the windows side to run with very little compartmentalization is going to be a security disaster.

I agree with this though I'd set the bar higher. I think it's a very personal choice.

I wouldn't want to live in Hong Kong or a similar skyscraper supertall metropolis.

And single family homes everywhere with massive lawns are also broken because they make everything too car-ry.

But somewhere like London (less dense) or Paris (more dense) has a good balance somewhere. Like, here (London) we have streets and streets of "single family homes", but they're about 100sqm, they're terraced and thin. Walking by one takes like, two seconds or something.

On my street alone there are probably 200 of these things, and you can multiply that street by another hundred, and all of those are within easy walking distance of a high street and tube station. Those numbers are probably a bit off but you get the idea.

The thing is that people who get super into, well, anything, can't seem to resist going for one or the other extreme, and they seem to want to quantify everything, so it ends up being logically the case that like:

Beep boop

<the best thing to do is build loads of buildings just under the height limit at which the cost per square foot is optimal and then put everyone in them and then make the ground floor retail and then put the metro station>

boop beep.

But that's playing The Sims, not like, living in a world with real humans with wants and desires. Some people want to live in Manhattan and others want to live on 50 acres in Arkansas and that's fine.
> I still think that Shopify is such a huge org you can find so much opportunity that does not feel like ecommerce

Yeah, I thought about that too at first, maybe he could build internal tooling supporting the developer teams for example. But I think if I didn't believe in what the company overall did, I wouldn't have any motivation to help their developer teams being more efficient either.

> maybe I am different

Yeah, I do think that's the answer in the end, we're all different and value different things :) I for example would trade all the things you listed for just working on something I personally believe in, as I see those other things as changeable over time, but the mission of a company tends to stay mostly within the same radius, so unless that resonates, I'm over it quickly. Shopify is just consumerism at scale, something I don't care about, even though the pay would be nice and I got "unlimited" time off, I wouldn't work there.
My target comp here in chicago is $250,000 for the level below senior software engineer and average home price here is $303,559 [0].

Pay is usually max(COL, local market rate). You don't need a super high COL if the local market is very competitive, but COL can raise the pay because you still need to convince people to move to your location and most people won't do that if it has an abnormally higher cost of living without a corresponding pay increase.

The reason house prices are high in Seattle is because geography limits how well they can sprawl to build new houses and lots of people don't like higher density housing.

If an investor wasn't lazy they wouldn't be an investor and have a real full time job, OR they would be Jason Calacanis.

I don’t know what specific “suspension of the constitution” you’re referring to, but if it was the October Crisis, that was the activation of the War Measures Act (martial law) in response to the FLQ kidnapping of a British diplomat and a regional politician, not bombings.

After that you have hedgefunds speculating on water and wheat, Nestlé literally murdering babies ( https://www.businessinsider.com/nestles-infant-formula-scand... ), Coca Cola hiring hitmen to murder political/climate change activists, any companies directly working with fossil fuels.

Besides that a lot of companies evilness is debatable, but definitely not those.

I think any sane person can agree that those companies are evil, if you think otherwise you're just lying to yourself.

I met my wife while at a club watching a local band when I was 35 years old. At that point in my life I had about $50K in my 401K, but only about $5K in savings.

The two of us didn't accrue $500k in savings until I was 55. I'll be working until I am 70, since I started a family late, and I still have the youngest of three kids in college.

You are not too old. Yes, life changes, but life is what you make of it. I am still alpine skiing in my mid 60s. I just joined a startup three years ago.

And now that all the kids are out of the house, my wife and I can walk to the nearest restaurant for happy hour and day we want. No waiting for the weekends. no needing to hire a baby sitter.

The VC model has to consider the expectation that most investments will be a complete loss. To have even a hope of ~20% return every investment has to have a path to $xxxB. Otherwise it’s not worth including.

Look back at the whole Snowden event has me thinking. Did it really change anything? Sure there was outrage and a lot of news coverage on it but did anything else really come of it?

We still willingly put all our private life details online. We still willingly use companies we know give the NSA access.

To me it seems like society just collectively shrugged our shoulders and moved on. That is really what scares me the most.

Steam Deck Hardware Review by Linus Tech Tips [video]
Household slaves could buy their freedom from their masters. Then they became freedmen, still allied and somewhat subordinated to their former masters, but their children were already full Roman citizens.

The prospect of manumission was a huge incentive for the slave to work harder and smarter. Some freedmen became very rich. The slaveowners could theoretically renege on their promise, but rarely did so, because they would lose the profit of their slaves believing them and working harder.

Romans were pretty Machiavelistic when it came to incentives. Their methods usually worked, even though they could hardly be described as morally sound.
One thing that seems to have changed is the understanding of impermanence. I loved the things I built with Lego but quickly had to accept that none of them was permanent. Kill your darlings to build the next thing. Being too enamoured with what you built before reduced your options for building new creations and you found that you loved nothing so much that you weren't willing to destroy it to accomplish your new goals.
