Mind you, though, Netflix's pay and scope are competitive for up to entry-level staff engineer with very few exceptions (Brendan Gregg is one such exception). That means every engineer writes code, is responsible for one or more services, and uses their services to assert their influence. Very few engineers get more than $800K or whatever comparable packages offered to Sr Staff/Principal engineers in other companies.

I personally view this as a strength of Netflix. They have such a wonderful culture that empowers its engineers to focus on building and being autonomous. They don't need people to drive company wide initiatives most of the time.
The API is largely “don’t use semaphores and other blocking primitives”. But it turns out people really love writing synchronization on top of these so it’s a hard problem to solve.
The company is US based but we're entirely open to remote work especially for engineering, and already have a handful of fully remote staff.

> The thing is that it's so much easier to make money when you have it.

So true. My rich uncle once told me "The hardest million I made was my first million". Then you look at how the banking system works: the more money you have in the bank, the more money the bank pays you. But if you don't have enough money in the bank, then the bank charges you. So it's actually more expensive to be poor than it is to be rich, and the richer you are, the faster you become richer.

It's as if you're first place in Mario Kart, and all you get are stars, while the last place car keeps getting banana peels that they then slip on. Not a very fun game, but that's life.
Can you say more about how you incentivize truthful bidding? I understand about exposure risk and expressive bidding but I'm not sure if that was meant to obviously imply something about truthful bidding which went over my head, or if you meant to not say more about it.

I love the part about eventually determining your value-add by comparing to a counterfactual vanilla market -- sounds a bit like Shapley value? If not exactly Shapley value?

The two aren't mutually exclusive.
One thing I've wondered about with issues from vaccine side effects is if they are in any way related to how the body would respond if the actual disease was contracted.

This is not to discount the effects or concerns about it -- just curiosity.
That seems like it's own separate problem which is also bad.
Yes, I'd bet that outside the office, the vast majority of "computer use" between say, 1998 and 2013 was for email and web browsing. That functionality moved to the smart phone, leaving mostly gamers and the computer literate as the remaining users.

I would strap myself into the torture machine from Clockwork Orange for 8 hours a day if you paid me $350k to do it.
The new Watch health features that have been rumored for the coming years (blood pressure, etc) would be genuinely life-changing for a ton of people.

I don't have any particular interest in a smart watch - even if you gave me one for free, I doubt I'd bother wearing it. But if it's also a fully-featured health monitor? Yeah, absolutely.
I love it. Unlike many machine learning examples this one does not highlight how good the model is, but highlights how poor the source material often is. Many of these are completely believable covers.
What saves me the most time is not "automation" but something I call "Don't waste time learning things that are likely to go away".

So yeah, I'll just leverage the skills I've leveraged over and over to make a living.
To be clear, you can absolutely do real work if your work is natively done with a stylus, e.g., illustrating or pen-and-paper math. These are of course uncommon.
I dont get why you feel astonished by that. Being historically marginalized doesn't automatically mean you will bring in more money than JRE.
the fact that there's still freight on the Peninsula is another problem.
The messier the system, the more rigorous the methodology should be. Pre-registering trials to fight p-hacking, and open data should be the norm. That's decidedly not what we've gotten from this field, and some prominent figures have even been fighting such measures and consider the reproducibility crisis to not be a big deal. That's the problem.
plus that high pay looks just like a bait to me. you still have to survive brutal (& I mean Brutal) annual reviews for entire duration and also not get PIPed in the process. getting piped for a bullshit reason really sucks, I have never been but have closely seen it happen.

>Nearly everyone has a driver's license

I remember hearing a lot about new "voter id" laws, and how they are supposedly meant to suppress the vote of poorer minorities, who often do not possess a driver's license (or a car) - especially affecting the older generations of poor minority people most likely to vote.
But that's not how the judge is quoted in the article. If it's really about the TRO, then the proof should be about whether the activities to be restrained actually happened - seems like that's not up for debate.

Now, because the sheriff's office isn't filing charges, it's immaterial to the TRO whether Empyreal was within the law.

It's only a mitigation and requires user action, but there is an Android app "Tracker Detect" that should detect separated trackers when it is running.

There is also some talk of a cross platform framework. Which would be a good outcome compared to no cross platform framework (but it doesn't really solve the problem).
I remember my old studded Technic sets fondly. Back then you could at least see what you were building a few steps in. I bought and built a Jeep Wrangler set a couple of months ago, and I have no idea if I will ever be able to come up with an original Technic design myself using modern studless beams. I had no idea what I was building at least halfway into the instruction booklet.

I certainly find with cannabis that the mental struggle is far more significant than any physical dependency, to the extent that it even exists (and I can distinguish it from my overall mental state). Indeed I've dropped much more chemically addictive substances with greater ease.

"Tolerance break" is not a term I've come across before, but it's a great description of at least part of what I'm after. I have taken similar breaks before, and currently have none around and no plans for getting more. I'm not dead set on quitting weed entirely, I don't see it as intrinsically bad, I just have found that if I have it in the house I'm liable to consume it by increasing degrees until I'm back to being high almost all the time. My biggest trigger is simply being awake and looking forward to another fairly predictable day. Perhaps I should be trying to inject more unpredictability into my daily routine? This goes against everything I've fought for in establishing a halfway comfortable middle-class existence, but perhaps it deserves investigation.

Thank you!
Yea it's good enough. I'm using a 27" 4k with my Mac, scaled show the same amount of stuff as a 5k would, so 125% I guess. Sure it probably looks worse than a real 5k monitor if I was to pixel peep, but it's great to me and I don't think 5k is worth the more than 2x asking price.

Scaled resolutions work much better than they used to. For example the iPhone 12 Mini scales at 2.88x by default and I've never heard anyone complain.

However I think it might also depend on the specific panel. I have a Lenovo portable monitor which is 1080p at 14", and running it at anything except 1x looks absolutely awful.
> Some slaves were not mere physical labour. However, many famers and miners were still enslaved people, worked in far more brutal conditions without the hope of manumission.

Yes, exactly. For instance, slaves would be disfigured to prevent escape:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Rome:

> As most slaves in the Roman world could easily blend into the population if they escaped, it was normal for the masters to discourage slaves from running away by putting a tattoo reading "Stop me! I am a runaway!" or "tax paid" if the slaves were owned by the Roman state on the foreheads of their slaves.[65] For this reason, slaves usually wore headbands to cover up their disfiguring tattoos and at the Temple of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, in Ephesus, archeologists have found thousands of tablets from escaped slaves asking Asclepius to make the tattoos on their foreheads disappear.[66]

You can set your own default for new repositories: (circular picture in top right corner) -> Settings -> (about half way down on the left) Repositories -> (top of page) Repository default branch

I don't know whether changing that changes the "new repo text" but since the text for "Repository default branch" says "You might want to change the default name due to different workflows, or because your integrations still require “master” as the default branch name." I would guess the default default is "main", so either you have set your default to "master", or the new repo text is out-of-date, I would guess.

Consider the situation if Apple didn’t require this in some way, shape, or form.

There’d be dozens of articles about your tech-unsavvy grandma and how they couldn’t unsubscribe the way they normally do, and would blame Apple for it.

I, for one, would not want to deal with the trouble of teaching my parents that some purchases in the App Store are through the App Store, and some aren’t.
I once had to implement SOAR in a “no code” automation solution (it was not Tines), and it was terrible. There were a lot of connectors and transformers, but almost all of them had some weird quirks that made them hard to use effectively. Coming from an “all code” background I was pulling my hair out trying to troubleshoot everything. The project was sufficiently onerous that I actually left my job over it.

My Amazon salary history, to anchor some of this story better:

- Joined early early 2017 as an L5 hire (no previous FANG experience, but 10+ elsewhere) with an an offer of base $145K, sign on of $50K year 1, $38K year 2, 150 RSUs (AMZN worth ~$850 = 127500). Vesting schedule: 5% @ 1y, 15% @ 2y, 20% @ 2.5y, 20% @ 3y, 20% @ 3.5y, 20% @ 4y.

- Negotiated without competing offers a bump to $150K base, $60K / $45K cash, 162 RSUs.

- A breakdown based on Amazon's 15% stock aprecciation YOY gives you Amazon's Total Compensation Target. This is Amazon's projection assuming that you perform at the middle of the expectation of your cohort in the yearly performance review (OLR, not forte as the article states)

- year 1 (8 RSUs): $150K base + $60K cash + 8 * $850 * 1.15 = $218K

- year 2 (24 RSUs): $150K base + $46K cash + 24 * $850 * 1.15^2 = $223K

- year 3 (32 + 33 RSUs): $150K base + (32 * $850 * 1.15^2.5) + (33 * $850 * 1.15^3) = $231K

- year 4 (32 + 33 RSUs): $150K base + (32 * $850 * 1.15^3.5) + (33 * $850 * 1.15^4) = $243K

- Actual salary

- year 1 (AMZN @ $1430) = $221K. OLR bumped base salary for next year to $157K

- year 2 (AMZN @ $1844) = $247K. OLR bumped base salary for next year to $160K. No stock grant as projected salary > comp target

- year 3 (AMZN @ $1767, $2307) = $292K. Granted 18 RSUs to vest at year 4.5 and year 5

- year 4 (AMZN @ $3338, $3379) = $378K

- year 5 (AMZN @ $3409, $3400?) = $221K

- Notes

- due to manager / life reasons, didn't progress beyond L5. If I were to pursue this this year, my comp adjustment would have come about a year after starting at that level (but only to the lower end of the L6 band ~ $250K). $30K for a tonne more work seems rather stupid.

- note the golden handcuffs as well as that huge cliff

- some of the above is intentionally inaccurate (but not by a huge amount)
Rest assured they will be investing in only a tiny few of the very least marginalized people in said “marginalized groups.” That’s how identity politics works.

It's interesting to see how the economic model of the platform changes the controversy. If he were still on YouTube / generic podcast platforms, it's harder to become de-platformed, but of course you make less money.
> We need to figure out how to educate people enough for them to be able to separate the government from the people.

One, and perhaps most effective, way would be for the Chinese student groups to support these protests to show that they are indeed distinct from the CCP government, instead of using the language of social justice to silence criticism of the Chinese government's human rights record
Which is just crazy. Out of all the things people could spend their times trying to improve, removing a podcaster from Spotify is very low on any rational list. Direct your energy at something important and get out of your bubble of anger at {popular to hate thing of the month}.
If Eminem released a song with that word, would it be offensive?
Indeed, spreading antivax sentiments, disinformation, racism and hate is big business.

Spotify is a small player though and Facebook is the big winner in this category.
A lot of the employer's benefit to hiring external contractors stems from the ability to sidestep labor laws (e.g. benefits, minimum wage, overtime, etc...). In a society where you're just allowed to own slaves that calculus looks a bit different.

'int' size stays the same. 'long' gets bigger (on LP64 platforms).

Apart from that, I would agree with your assessment.
> The U.S. government agreed to drop all charges filed against Sklyarov, provided that he testify at the trial of his company.

I think the confusion is that there were charges filed against both him and the company he worked for, the former of which were dropped if he testified at company's trial (which was ultimately found not guilty).
It is.

One thing I don't get about the async story in Computation Expressions is the sudden need for you to think about return/return!

Couldn't CE continue to use "return by last statement" and then do the CE-invoking version with exclamation mark in the end?

let private readUrls () =
async {
(IO.File.ReadAllLinesAsync "urls.txt" |> Async.AwaitTask)!
}

Would probably break something I haven't thought about.

Also the whole task vs async confusion is a bit difficult to wrap your head around. I understand .net6 introduced task {} CE, but you still need to have two stories in your head and convert back and forth and use async {}

I'd guess you're being downvoted because the article describes a different conclusion:

"[long term] risks and burdens were evident even among individuals who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection."

Though it does seem to make a distinction in grade ("these risks increased in a graded fashion according to the care setting during the acute phase (non-hospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care)"), it doesn't seem to support the idea that the impacts are limited to the hospitalized.
It's stealing either way! If I come to your house, take your car, and leave a pile of cash equal to the car's fair market value in it's place, are you going to be cool with that? I think we'd all agree that's theft. It's no different with a Margarita, regardless of what it costs.
If you don't have a car, when you have large items, there's either delivery available, you hire someone to transport it, or you rent a vehicle to go get it. I've lived without a car for 12 years. It's really not that big of a deal, and the situations you're discussing are pretty infrequent.

As for groceries, if you have a grocery store within a 5 minute walk (which is the norm in dense cities), you don't need to buy a week's worth of groceries at a time. I go to the grocery store for quick trips a couple times a week. If you have more groceries, there's little carts (the ones you usually see old people with) that you can pull behind you. The nicest thing about this approach is that your food will generally be fresher; not only because you use it closer to when you buy it, but also because the sales in the store is higher so food isn't sitting on the shelves for long periods of time.

You're considering a reduction of cars as if your city is like it currently is; just without cars. The reality is that there'll be an increase in pedestrians and bike riders, which will lead to higher density and more demand for smaller, closer shops, restaurants and grocery stores. It's something that will happen slowly, and in general your life will become more livable in many ways. Of course if you refuse to adapt, it'll be annoying in other ways, since there'll be less (or no) free parking, lower speed limits, more narrow streets, and you will have to pay greater attention to pedestrians and bikers.
Yes a confirmed blog post or similar link would be nice.
> It's astounding that Joe Rogan's contract with Spotify is worth more [0] than what Spotify is willing to "incrementally invest" in content from marginalized groups.

Not saying that what Spotify is doing is the right thing to do, but it is a bit less surprising when you look at the viewership numbers[0] (I know it is a tweet, but it links to the official Nielsen chart with the numbers). It kind of blew me away to see it.

JRE essentially has more viewers than the next 4 major shows combined (which are extremely mainstream, like major tv primetime averages or the Hannity show). The only thing that gets more viewers is Superbowl.

Moving on, assuming you are talking about Mary here, and have read the gospel of Mary, can you tell us just a few things that it contains that are lacking in the other gospels, written by men who were also very close to Jesus?

Recent release of the Windows 11 with requirements to have at least 8th gen CPU might help actually. My 6th gen is perfectly fine for a lot of games, and thanks to Valve I have quite a good library on Ubuntu.

While I started up again during the pandemic, I managed to stop by restricting to off-work hours, and only 3 times, at 5, 7, and 9pm. This stopped being annoying after only 2 days, and after that was able to easily wean down after 6 weeks. The only real side effects from withdrawal were poor sleep, intense dreams, and increased libido.
In the Egyptian Book of the Dead, one of the things you had to attest to at death was that you had "never willfully blocked the flow of a river" -- makes sense given the prominent importance of the Nile.

It's generally accepted among online lego communities that organizing by part/shape makes retrieval more efficient than organizing by color. It's tough to find a red 1x2 plate in a huge bin of red pieces, but it's easy to find a red 1x2 plate in a bin of small plates of multiple colors. If you don't have enough parts to justify breaking down to the specific part, you can do categories at whatever level of granularity makes sense for your collection: bricks, plates, modified bricks, rods and clips, etc.
Au contraire(and I don't agree with this reasoning), Congress granted itself this regulatory power because "if it's grown, harvested, sold, and consumed/used all in the same state", that affects other state commerce (since demand would be affected by the lack of import of product), and thus can be regulated via the commerce clause.

If you want something taller than that, there's also 43" 16:9 monitors, which I guess are basically just TV panels put in a different body / with different firmware.
