It's not just online. For instance, Hulu's ad-free subscription cost is almost twice that of it's regular cost. This isn't a new phenomenon either; here's a song advertising a paid TV service from the 1960's that list no advertisements as one of the reasons to pay for the service[1]. If you go to the SiriusXM radio site right now, you'll see that they advertise it being ad-free.

When people are paying extra to avoid something, it's a clear sign that they see it as detrimental.

Not enough staff (teachers) to differentiate instruction that finely.

A lot of stuff sounds like a great idea until you're looking at a classroom of 18-28 students and everyone else around you is trying to deal with a similar-sized class of their own. Special-ed kids might get help down to having one entire adult just to help and follow around that single kid all day (!) but there's no stomach for spending that kind of money to help kids who are ahead, or to reduce class sizes so regular classroom teachers can realistically do a better job of differentiation. Best most places get are very-part-time gifted programs.
Wealthy people have access to lower interest rates, poorer people have to pay a risk premium. The advantage to the wealthy is exacerbated the closer risk free interest rates go to zero. Lower interest rates is hugely advantageous to the wealthy.

>In this case, though, why not replace the job title with "Employee"?

One (non-tech) company I worked at had a pretty stringent policy of always referring to "associates" rather than "employees". I don't exactly know why; maybe some kind of branding or psychological thing, like "you're part of the family" instead of "you're working for us". It admittedly does sound a little more pleasant.

I sort of understand where this question is coming from, but as someone who's spent a fair amount of time browsing software job postings recently, the real question isn't specialization, it's seniority.

I routinely have found organizations that have, literally, dozens of open listings for "Senior Software Engineer, Sub-field", but few (if any) explicitly non-senior positions available. My very non-scientific estimate would put this ratio at well over 10:1, and probably closer to 20:1 for many of the organizations I've looked through. I actually sort of wonder if they ever take them down, or if demand for senior candidates is just so high that they're basically evergreen listings, where the organizations assume they'll always have positions available for engineers who meet those listings' criteria.
I had a "spot interview" with a boutique consultancy in Columbus OH a couple years ago at OLF

They had a snippet of C++ code, and were giving-out mugs to anyone who could find "the" bug in the code

I'm not a dev, don't even play on on TV, but I really "came of age" writing C++ back in the 90s

I spotted the other bug in the function on the paper - the one the guy who had written and printed it out hadn't noticed he'd added

He asked me if I want to come work for them as a QA/debug engineer - which I politely declined (the money was good, but didn't want to relo to central OH (having just recently moved already))
This was covered via a historic overview of genetics in Carl Zimmer's 2018 book She Has Her Mother's Laugh towards the end as he puts it all together and explains how scientists figured it out. IIRC some neanderthal and denisova bones still had DNA material.
Why do they need to verify my role? The new company interviewed me and can decide if I qualified for the job and if they want to pay me what I am asking. Most likely the new company is simply trying to pay me as little as possible.

> you were a senior

Also, there isn't senior at Apple and their roles are not a public API. They can change. If Apple says my role was "level 5" what does that mean to the new company?
Hi, I'm the creator of https://text2db.com/ , I have build this tiny tool to quickly create database script without any extra knowledge of script format.

This is my first project to help new learners/developers to quickly create database script using predefined symbols, only varchar an int datatypes are supported for now.

I want other people to save time creating databases.

This website is still in progress, for now only MYSQL,PostgresSQL and MSSQL are supported.

Thanks for reading this,
Feel free to ask any questions/give opinions here

Also I am looking for tips on how to improve it further.

> Are you sure ads are "nagging" people as opposed to genuinely changing what they want?

Yes. I'm susceptible to this. I became aware recently. I use and collect fountains pens & inks, and I collected a considerable collection. Unsubscribing from vendors mailing lists, and not visiting related sites reduced my desire to get new things and I enjoy what I have more.

It's same for Humble Bundle's books, and some other items too.

In short, I'm sure. Seeing less advertisements make me want stuff way less, and use what I have more.

At the end of the day, yes, advertisement is manufactured demand. Esp. with all the psychological research behind it.
This is entirely untrue. AWS and Azure are most definitely able to offer GDPR-compliant in-region hosting options and I'm sure GCP can to (I just don't know their offering as well).
There used to be something like that, and I'm not sure whether it still exists. My father's family housed an exchange student, a Black girl from another part of America, and later a girl from Norway (I think). Of course this wasn't specific to cultural exchange within America in particular, but it wasn't to the exclusion of American students.

However, I must admit I may be wrong in my interpretation of this, and now I want to ask my dad again next time I see him.

It is a great idea, nevertheless.

Why would I tell them what my previous salary was though? I'll tell them what I want to make. If that's not enough then I guess we weren't a good fit. When I interview people, previous salary has _never_ been a question.
I have to disagree. If they don't want to give titles, they should ... not give titles. That is, give no information for that field/query. If the system requires it, do something like "n/a".

When you state "employee title: Associate", you are conveying[1] that the title "Associate" Is A Thing at Apple, and the former employee had that title. And if (as is the case here) it is the most unadorned title anyone can have at Apple, then their title was the most unadorned one. If that's not actually the case, that does seem like "lying about their level".

So I'd say there's a big difference between not answering about title, vs making something up and affirming the made-up thing was had.

Am I the only one surprised these sharing databases even exist?

What if Apple went the other way, and artificially inflated the level? Every engineer is "Senior engineer level XIV". Or, they could be evil and tie the level entered to the conditions of leave. If you sign a bunch of non-competes and non-disclosures etc, you get marked 2 levels up in this db.

One of my employers used to let us pick our own titles. We couldn't say "CEO", of course, but if you'd like to be "Super staff engineer IV" or "Solutions Architect III" you could. They didn't care as long as you helped out and did a good job.
> Why limit it to the EU? Shouldn't every country have their own AWS, Azure and Google Cloud?

That is completely unrelated though. The only thing this ruling confirms is that you can not process data of EU residents when you can not be adequately protect them due to local laws i.e. the CLOUD act. If your laws allow you to keep the data safe, you can offer your cloud services to the EU market as much as you want. If they wanted to, the US could easily allow companies to guarantee those protections too.

I would not be surprised when, if no solution is found, some of the major cloud providers in the EU end up being e.g. japanese, israeli or canadian.
Which may have been fine if other supports were taking the load. Visibly rusted parts are easy to diagnose, thus if that particular part was unsafe it would have been quickly deemed as such. It could be that it contributed to the collapse, but that it alone wasn't enough to justify it as unsafe.
Another yaml problem is that it can have both .yaml and .yml extensions and some tools choose to support only one
When complex tasks are too simple, users can lose trust in the interface. For example, if buying a car is as simple as pushing a button, it seems too convenient to be true. You want to make the task easy to do, but not too easy if the task is more complex than usual. As a designer, it's key to keep that balance in mind. Super easy-to-use isn't always optimal. Sometimes easy enough is enough.
The linear model of time estimates here work well for cathedrals but not necessarily for scientific and engineering advancements.

For a Cathedral, you have a general idea of how long it's going to take (at least finite) and know that every piece of material added onto the structure is going to move it closer to the end goal.

For things like fusion, anything beyond say 20 years is basically a bullsh_t speculative guess that sounds better than "we don't really know whether this will even work out in the end". It doesn't really matter whether it's 30 or 60. The real question is whether the number is finite or infinite.
Please do not imply were dumb. We're not spending 100,000$ just to show off. We do need them, because we need to haul 2000-4000lb at a time over hundreds of miles and tow 5,000lb to 30,000lb on a regular basis. My biggest haul personally was about 20,000lb (of actual payload) over 500mi, and I regularly max out my 2,500lb capacity dodge 2500.

You ain't gonna move that shit with a Citroen C2.

Also, it's not just a matter of payload. The bigger wheelbase and larger tires make them much more drive able in snow or mud or ice which is common weather around. Small cars are a safety issue on black ice.

Btw, I'm a small player.
Cluelang is a DSL which I already considered and that I like very much. It wasn't high enough in my priorities.

I struggled to use the HCL.

The DSL used by updatecli is not fixed in stone. It's just the interface exposed.
The reality nowadays, is that YAML remains the most used DSL.
People do manage to do so. In fact I work with folks to help them find the right words for this situation and others.

Still a trend I'm seeing is occurring in negotiation. Specifically "do you have a counter you want us to match? prove it with an offer letter"

orthogonal but still related.
I don't see anything in your comments that justifies apartheid. You could say many of the same things about South Africa.

For legal reasons many companies will only say if someone worked there or not. Giving any more specific feedback is not something that is done at the companies I've worked at.
Yes, but as engineers we should strive for the simplest possible approach that solves the problem in a maintainable way. Always choosing the most flexible / the most scalable / the most modern approach is often a waste of resources.

> why do I have to add a new paradigm?
The answer to that question also depends on which paradigm you are using currently, not only on which you are choosing for the future.
Modern browsers share a "standard" list of APIs for plugins, that makes it possible to write a plugin that runs in both Chrome and Firefox. Google decided to remove several APIs for "performance" and "privacy" reasons from the third version of that list. It just happens that all dropped APIs where used by ad blockers and that some of the announced "replacement" APIs weren't even able to handle the most commonly used static block lists. As far as I understand the replacement APIs where developed in cooperation with Ad block plus, which just happens to allow Googles ads under its acceptable ads program.
> My reply: asset prices don't matter to ordinary people.

They do. A large percentage of the population has 401Ks, and many public sector pension plans have equity components. Housing prices are also assets, and inflation in that sector has priced out many people from affording homes, despite low financing costs.

> Full employment is going great -- the job market is tight

We are nowhere close to full employment. We're 3M jobs lower than pre-COVID in the U.S [1], and according to Keynesians, Monetarists, Monetary Keynesians, or whatever hybrid form of wishy washy economics that has used the Phillips curve as policy guidance, this inflation should not happen.

> In the larger sense, the fed's hands are tied, unless their legal mandate is amended to include "not creating asset bubbles"

The Fed's "dual mandate" presumes that (based upon the Phillips curve) there is a sweet spot between full employment and inflation. The correlation is entirely, completely broken [2].

If European startups end up starting companies in the US, and the US companies can't operate in EU, there will either be a massive vacuum to serve the European market ($15 trillion in estimated GDP), or there will be companies that like profits and want to earn some money by providing products in EU.

We can create a middle ground. When ever information about a EU citizen that get transferred to the US, a similar information about a US citizen get transferred to the EU as hostage in case there is a data violation. A list of IP-addresses accessing usa.gov in return for a list of IP-addresses that accessed europa.eu. Surely a deal can be made that give both sides equal power.

I think it was set up beforehand. Also, I think nobody really wanted to go as far as setting any precedents, in case they ended up being precedents that they didn't want.
EV sales are over 25% in Europe, over 20% in China, 10% in California. It's far from the majority but remember that price is set at the margin -- supply 99 demand 100 price goes up, supply 101 demand 100 price goes down.

But the biggest factor is that the cost of renewable electricity is dropping fast. And to many industries, they are imperfect substites, so the price of electricity and gas are correlated.

> And the cool thing about energy prices is they feed forward into the cost of literally everything else in future PPI/CPI prints.

Exactly, which is why the forthcoming massive drop in electricity costs has me so excited.
What people in the HN bubble don't often think about is that not every user can pay without advertising. Many people in the world cannot afford to pay for a service with money. Donations only go so far in supporting these types of services.

I think that's bad advise, or at least incomplete, if the money that was going to buy a car is just sitting in a savings account you're guaranteed to be poorer since inflation will still hit your savings account plus you are paying interest on the loan.

Income is increasing faster than inflation, so it is helping poor people more than it hurts and easing their debts.

It's my understanding that LuaJIT still beats V8 Javascript by a considerable margin. And I would say that Lua and Javascript are roughly comparable languages so it's an apples-to-apples comparison.

I don't think this is true. It's very popular but LuaJIT is still more performant.

By acknowledging it has become complex, documenting the steps to set it up for others (me being among the others not so far away in time), then automating it.

It's still a slow start.

Then you have the getting to understand what to build/correct, what for, who for (that part is the slowest one).

Then deployment (somehow slow, but akin to automation like setup above).

The production (not slow, but depending on the environment and the history, might be painful).

The fun is occasionally in the coding part. But it more surely happens most of the time in the relationships and discussions around it.

(speaking for me, not a general case)
That's complete bs, see my comment above. Pickups are much more flexible than vans.

The problem is the insurance model which insure the vehicle rather than the driver. Thus why some people daily drive their pickup because maintaining another beater is too much cost.
Probably a lot of the value in rare real things is that people want to have them. It evokes joy.

A lot of NFTs don't do this for their owners. Its just the belief that there's a high probability of being able to resell for more.

The question is what % of the market participants see genuine value in the asset itself.
Simple. If you have a free market, I would just use competing services instead of the "Chinese" ones. No one is forced to use TikTok. If people really wanted a privacy focused service, a new one will arrive. DuckDuckGo's success is an example of that.

imo it's just a thinly veiled protectionist law that will fracture the internet all for the sake of propping up EU incumbents who can't innovate.
This is the first year I know where US average annual inflation is higher than Mexico's one. It's really interesting to me.
There are ways to be competitive without being competitive. Example: Some people love to be the smartest person in the room so they'll beat their ideas over the heads of everyone else. I don't really want to deal with those people, so if I think there is a better idea, I'll get buy-in by going to everyone one-on-one. Sometimes that means "my" idea is co-opted by someone else or the team in general, but I'm okay with that because it's worth it to me to see the best strategy more forth. But the real fun is when Mr Blusterpants knows it was my idea that won.

I would think that the impact of rising prices would be reflected in reduced profits but it seems like most of the major companies are reporting rather large profits.

Could it be some of the inflation is simply companies taking advantage to raise prices not because they need to but simply because they can?
