There are challenges with every policy option and you bring up an important one.

However, that is not a universal obstacle to all policy solutions. Getting people to electrify their homes has minimal impact on global economic competition. Changing urban planning regimes has little (direct) impact on global economic competition.

I’m not trying to imply it is easy. But it is still a choice that we can make is we can coordinate ourselves. I think the biggest challenge is simply the degree to which hyper individualism has taken over American culture and its effect on our collective psyche.
I mean, most companies already have salary ranges (they're just invisible to employees). So the process of promoting to a new "band" or "position" would stay the same. That and companies can adjust their ranges, they're not set in stone. Or go the exec route and just pad with equity and other benefits. Lot's of options.
checkboxes do have a third 'indeterminate' state[0], but you can't activate it manually. it's basically 'null' rather than an affirmative 'true'/'false'.

There is a rust version of a lot of utilities. Unfortunately (if we believe rust evanghelists, that rust is the best thing since sliced bread) 1) they are in an early stage of development and 2) they are mostly reinventing the wheel having different options than the standard utilities.
"issues" is still a loooong way from "no choice".

There are always issues with everything. One identifies them, and then deals with them.
Ask HN: Should software engineer founders pay themselves market rates?
So a software engineer founder raises capital.

Is it OK that they pay themself market rates from that capital?

If investors feel that highly paid, highly qualified software engineers are not allowed to be founders unless they take significant pay cuts, I guess there will be alot fewer founders who are also highly qualified software engineers.
> Land value depends mostly on public infrastructure paid with public funds - roads, subways, schools etc

This is a strange conceit. Martha's Vineyard and Maui do not have orders of magnitude better "public infrastructure" than Kansas.

If anything, recent US real estate growth is a function of people leaving high-tax areas for inferior asphalt.

It ignores that zoning is contentious precisely when "public goods" are perceived to harm land value.

There's a circular reasoning in "land monopoly." Cover a grocery store in solar panels: who is "contributing to the general welfare," and who collects free rent?
I remember working at IBM, token ring was the protocol du jure.

Someone told me about this crazy non-IBM protocol where you just shoved data into the wires. If it collided with someone else's data - just try again!

Thanks to a good helping of fud, there was no doubt in my mind that this was a rubbish approach that wouldn't scale (though obviously it was pretty handy not having to wire your network into a ring configuration).

The vast majority of tech companies that IPO have revenues of (much) less than $500M.
It's very hard to align an explicit incentive scheme with the outcome that you actually want.

In this case, you'll get your features, but they very likely won't be bug-free. They'll probably be quite slow and fragile. They might not scale. They might not be well thought-out. They might break backwards compatibility, or break other features that your customers are already using.

In other words, why wouldn't a developer borrow limitless technical debt in order to claim the bounty as fast as possible and move on to their next bounty?
You could peg to CPI-adjusted dollars or the Big Mac index or whatever. That's the easy part. The hard part is getting the peg to hold during difficult times.
The statistics are BS. Try reporting any non-violent crime, particularly property crime, and see how far you get. Maybe a store like Target or Safeway can get some of its reports taken seriously, but individuals can't. The police will not take the report. And so the statistics continue their downward trend.
I know that sinking feeling you're feeling after discovering a successful competitor but you can totally crush Graphy. Just make sure to differentiate.

VTSAX has never been promoted (much less invented) as a currency and cash equivalent. VTSAX has never been promoted as the future of spending.
Belgium (my country) imports about 400% of its domestic use in LNG, to then sell it to neighbouring countries via pipelines. Doesn't make sense if LNG was too expensive.
BTW - The second page of that PDF mentions porting Concurrent DOS to the 68k on the Motorola VME/10. I believe that is actually a reference to porting FlexOS (CDOS-286) to the 68k, as mentioned here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_DOS_68K#Concurrent_...

and for which the result is publicly available.

If one wishes to attempt porting it to another 68k platform, one can find that from this page, in the 'CP/M-68K' section, titled 'CDOS for the 68000', the files cdos1.zip, cdos2.zip, cdos3.zip

I downvoted because it's a very low effort comment to ask people to explain out the whole thing to you in a simpler manner than the blog post itself. Do you want an ELI5 of Siegel's paradox? Do you want an ELI5 of a contango market, or what implied volatility is?

Just blanket asking for an ELI5 without elaborating on what aspect you understood, or specific questions you have about the topic, or just demonstrating some effort on your part is low effort and places way too high of a burden on someone else to give you a good quality answer.
It's just a test. As far as I know IQ science, is good science. It does measure something real.

Engineering does require a decent IQ, if you don't have that, you're unlikely to thrive as an engineer.

Unlikely doesn't mean you can't.
Exactly, I don't know what the answer is (probably a combo of subjective and objective measures, along with a healthy dose of independent oversight for both) but relying completely on 'gut feeling' is an express train to unconscious bias land.

In reality I think someone who only looks at team members who are "doing the most" is really just measuring who is talking about their work the most. You need some kind of objective measures like features shipped, assigned bugs resolved, etc.
For every productivity metrics don't forget to balance it with a quality one.

The reality is always in the middle.

Example: If you solve a problem quickly that leads to support ticket being open that's not good.
"No one cares about crypto-denominated wealth" is far too strong a conclusion to draw
from the mispricing of an obscure financial instrument.

One big problem with derivatives in the cryptocurrency space is that the counterparties may not be that strong financially and/or may not pay up if they lose. Or, even if the hedge is enforced by some smart contract, the contract might not have enough staking behind it to survive a major price change. And there's a war on. So we should expect mispriced derivatives.

Is there data available for cashout rates, such as USDC redemption and USDT being traded for USDC? That's more relevant here.
I love building things that are immediately useful to myself and others. When I get to choose the language and design things from scratch, it's easy.

I've learned how to negotiate with others, especially to help guide them because they don't know what is trivial, or impossible, in programming. I really enjoy my time getting things they can be happy with, out the end of the pipeline.

Programming makes you omnipotent, anything that can be computed, you can figure out how to make happen. Especially with hardware as insanely fast as it is now!

Entry-level programmer and web developer. Not entry level like Indeed job postings want (i.e. need 5 years of professional experience). This is my first tech job after over 15 years as a civil engineer, and after spending the pandemic learning and making personal projects like web-scrapers, microcontroller devices, a Django tutorial website, and even managed a TV credit! And I can talk with people.

Other past professional experience: real estate sales, operate e-commerce website through shopify, an etsy shop

In my experience, it's much more of a momentum killer and context switch to research an annotation than a function call.

First of all, in most IDEs, it's very quick to jump to a function's actual definition to investigate such questions as "What if both of the arguments are < 0?" or "Is null an acceptable argument?". With annotations, you'll often go-to-definition and be staring at an almost empty class that hopefully has a docstring. This is because the annotations, themselves, don't actually do anything- you have to go find the code that actually checks for the annotation and does stuff.

In my experience, the docs are often not good enough when I run into a problem. I was wrestling with some strange behavior with JacksonXML some time ago, and I had a very hard time figuring out what went wrong because Jackson has so many options and they don't actually all compose well, so it's not even about figuring out what one option/annotation does- it's about figuring out what happens when I set OptX=1 and OptY=4 at the same time. Unfortunately, the docs only tell me what is supposed to happen when OptX=1 and what's supposed to happen with OptY=4, but nobody has decided to document every single combination of every single setting in the library.

>Small markets notoriously can't afford to keep their talent around.

I highly doubt this, as a longtime Marlins fan. I strongly suspect that "small market" teams are those owned by people who notoriously don't want to spend more money than they have to.

According to Forbes, the Rays were purchased in 2004 for 200 million and are now worth 1.1B. In 18 years ownership has received a total return of more than 500% on their investment.

Now, for some strange reason, these teams don't want to publish annual audited profit/loss numbers, but the Marlins had those numbers leak for some of the franchise's bleakest years. The leaks showed them making money hand over fist. I suspect the same is true of the Rays during much of the last 18 years. So, you have a profitable business (I speculate) that's also appreciating in value at an incredible rate. Sounds like someone who can afford to pay the people who actually put butts in seats.

Hi! I'm Scott! Most of my experience has been in backend development, with a strong focus on AWS through terraform recently. The technologies listed above are the ones I have been using more recently. I'm looking for a 100% remote position, with a preference for a remote first company.

no, this device also doesn't have one, but nothing indicated that would be needed.
Lets just call the debate in terms of their actual terms.

Is it a good, or bad, thing that we removed Russia from our collective financial systems?

That's really all there is to it. If its a good thing, you need to be happy with the power to do so (and you must keep and protect the power during times of peace).

If its a bad thing, then I'm curious why anyone would take Russia's side on this particular conflict. Its clear to me that the Russian economy is already getting pretty hampered due to these sanctions, so no one can really argue against their efficacy anymore.
MLB has a de jure antitrust exception granted in 1922. The other sports leagues have consolidated and the government has failed to break them up, ergo, a de facto monopoly.

It is, but you're right to question it because it's a very nontrivial property that makes irrational rotations a bit of a special case.

The fact that it's uniquely ergodic (which roughly means that the uniform Lebesgue measure is the only measure that's invariant under irrational rotation) is required to ensure it works for all starting points. Most ergodic systems only ensure that it works for almost all starting points i.e. all starting points except for a measure 0 set.
Do you agree that if someone is not smart nor competent, then following the authors advice is highly likely to result in more success than if they did the opposite of the authors advice?
Thanks to the author for sharing this. I do want to learn more about HKTs but I feel like this article is written for people who already know what HKTs are. It gives me the same feeling as “Monads are just monoids in the category of endofunctors” - great but if I’m googling “what is a HKT” I probably don’t know about set theory or domain theory.

Yes. The discussion is the interesting part so that is why I do that.

Even with $10-$100 million range exits, typical founders are doing more than okay.

Assuming founders are still in charge, they’re often given substantial bonuses ($1-2mm or more) if an acquisition would make their equity worthless. This is done to align their incentives with getting the acquisition done, otherwise they’ll hold out.

Also, founders tend to pay themselves market rate once the company has grown significantly. In your scenario they wouldn’t take the reduced $150K salary forever.

The bigger risk is to employees of startups. They don’t get the generous acquisition bonuses of other companies.

That said, founders of any startup that makes a mark are usually in high demand. Even if they fail, they can point to a lot of experience that few others have.
Thank you for the suggestion! Will do
I always thought it would be interesting for sites like HN and Reddit to give more weight to comments from people who have clicked the link. I suppose that would be exploited for “influence” as soon as it was made public that it wouldn’t really add much.
If you're not getting rejected then you don't know where your ceiling is.

If you get rejected somewhere and then accepted somewhere slightly lesser, you know you pushed yourself as high as you could go.

If you apply and get accepted and just take that job... then who knows how much higher you could have aimed.
AI gone astray: subtle shifts in patient data undermine patient safety
For me, it wasn’t getting better at taking rejection, but quitting putting emotional investment into job applications (or whatever else) on the front end. Quit fantasizing about how great the work/your coworkers/the comp will be and just treat it like the roll of the dice it is.

Sorry, I did not intend to come off as criticizing you. I was simply conveying that people who have options will select to apply to employers that are offering a range with a minimum at or above what they are willing to accept. If the labor you are interested in purchasing is in sufficient demand, then you may be forced to state at least a minimum price to get the applicants you want.
No, it's definitely not safe. People get picked off the streets (3-4 riot cops against each one), brutally beaten (not all, but many), and thrown in jail for a few hours to a few days. Some lose their jobs after that.

Some even lose their jobs for posting anti-war comments on the internet:

https://novayagazeta.ru/articles/2022/03/01/iavnoe-neuvazhen...

Here's another example — an 80 year old lady was picked off the street and thrown in jail with the rest of them. Twice:

https://novayagazeta.ru/articles/2022/02/27/v-avtozake-kolle...

What's ironic here is she was born in besieged Stalingrad in 1942. Think about it: they've jailed a siege survivor from the Great Patriotic War which they are so proud of for standing peacefully at an anti-war protest.

You can look up the latest arrest figures on https://ovdinfo.org. It's not official info, but is the best we have.

A new law is currently being fast-tracked through Duma which will allow the state to throw people in prison for up to 20 years for literally any anti-war activity, including peaceful protests.

The country is very close to what it was like in Stalin times, back in 1930s.

Owrt is such a great firmware, just the right amount of power user features and works-fine-out-of-the-box simplicity.

I use it on small GL iNet 150 (9€ on eBay) for plenty of things:

- a wifi repeater at my wife’s work building, with an autossh with reverse tunnel for remote admin. It also sends metrics to influxdb for monitoring. Uptime is in the 100s of days (due to electrical cut)

- another as wifi client and dhcp server on the two ethernet ports, to isolate and test devices as if they were on another network.

- a small nas with USB disk storage as a 2nd backup disk from my nas

All in a sub-powered package the size of a credit card.

You can do so much with so little things (4Mb flash, 32M ram). Owrt rocks!
Yep we tried that. The high number attracted a mountain of unqualified applicants that we had to sort through, none of whom were actually qualified. Also if this is one person todo all, they're gonna need a lot more than just k8s, terraform, security, and linux. this person will need to at least familiar with typescript, react, cloud infrastructure, and be a good shell scripter.

Do you have experience in a hiring role? or is your advice purely theoretical?
HKT is a cool concept. I'm super rusty on them but they always just seemed one step up from generics.

From ArrayList to List[A] is a cool step, but what if you want to define something generic over the container, a L[A] : Foldable where L could be a List[A] or a Tree[A] or a IO[A] action, as long as they implement Foldable.

Then if they implement Foldable you can access lots of std lib things that require a Foldable (or Traversable or Functor or whatever)

It gives you a lot of abstractive power to be able to write operations in terms of Foldable or other HKTs and then share them among many specific instances.

It's sort of like being able to define things like Iterable or IEnumerable but from a polymorphism perspective rather than an inheritance one.
> The social contract that citizens sign with their government doesn't guarantee them the right to untraceable global wealth. You have to use the currency of your nation to pay taxes and support your society.

Actually up until recently the social contract has anyone could put an anonymous coin into a newspaper box and pick up a news paper to read as much as they want without anyone knowing which articles they read and what they thought about them.

Now we live in a world where the very basic act of consuming media is meticulously analyzed by hundreds of entities and logged for all time and that massive and that obsessive stalking behaviour is making its way into all of our transactions as we switch to digital payments.

This wasn't the social contract I was born into and that goes the same for the current majority. I'm all for regulations that and actual enforcement of existing regulations against wealth people but don't try and tell me that the extension of digital surveillance to everyday little people transactions is anything more than a blatant power grab of unprecedented levels.
