My understanding is that promotion/relegation systems tend to lead to more lop-sided leagues where the winners keep winning because of the virtuous cycle of: more money from the TV rights from being in the "champions" league -> buy better players -> the better players keep you in the "champions" league.

That said, there are no American sports with a promotion/relegation system (probably because those systems evolved organically in Europe from local teams just becoming good and gaining a following, and the American way of having billionaires owning one of a small, fixed set of teams means that they want to protect their investments and wouldn't accept a chance of being relegated and losing their valuable TV money), so it would be interesting if one of them picked it up. From an outsider's perspective, though, I think it'd probably be better to bias towards simplicity instead of trying to fix every problem. E.g. instead of having the "must win 86 games in two/three seasons to make it to the champions league", fix the number of teams in the top league and promote the top of the bottom league and relegate the bottom of the top league. Making the system more complicated to prevent teams from tanking probably isn't a worthwhile tradeoff, since 1) it sucks when teams tank, but it's very exciting when a bad team starts to do very well (e.g. the Bengals at this year's Super Bowl), and 2) that system still doesn't stop the teams at the bottom of the second league from tanking, since there's no punishment for them and they can get better draft picks.

Though my 2c to improve baseball as someone who just started watching football and tried to follow baseball when I was younger:

1. Reduce the number of games. In football, there are so few games that each one matters a lot. In baseball, there are so many that it's hard to be invested.

2. Find a way to make games more fun to watch on TV. Going to a ballpark in person is always a fun, chill experience as long as you bring a friend. That atmosphere doesn't translate when you're watching on TV, so the game itself probably has to be made more exciting in some way (add more time pressure, or let the players take steroids /s).

Stands to reason then that they are not designing in the same sense, but configuring and customizing. People have been doing that for a while now on FPGA, or in hardware with 8080, and it's hardly anybody's kids. What's so "amazing" about it?

Dumb cores are a commodity now, which progressed in horsepower from their ca. 60 years old ancestors. I.e. the core is hardly innovative, so what is so amazing about it, technically?

I almost always read the article first unless it’s very long (e.g. a link to a free book.) Familiarity with the link makes the good comments better. It also makes comments from people who haven’t read the article a lot more frustrating, though, and some of them are inevitably highly upvoted by others who didn’t bother to read.
You kind of glossed over the 2 other points the author makes. 1) This would have minimum impact on the Russian government and military. 2) This would undermine dissident Russian citizens efforts against the Russian government leaving them with no way to access information outside of state controlled media or coordinate with people and organizations abroad. The ability for Russian citizens to access the truth about the war has been instrumental in fomenting resistance and protests.

Anyone who grew up in the 80s heard a TON of whining about how seatbelts & DUI laws were destroying freedom and having to a less-polluting car burning unleaded fuel was expensive and no fun. Phasing out CFCs, dealing with acid rain, EnergyStar appliances, etc. were all decried as devastating the economy but that didn't happen and very few people want to go back. If you weren't around back then, all of this was portrayed by some people as a massive quality of life sacrifice and most of them were not industry shills.

My main point was that very little of this happened in a vacuum: government policy pushed R&D on most of those technologies, pushed people to adopt them, used taxes to compensate for externalities, etc.

Felt | Frontend and Elixir Engineers | Oakland or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder with an exit [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

Our technology stack is Elixir (on Phoenix), a good amount of PostGIS and React on Typescript. We are looking for folks who want to work on a modern, collaborative web-app. Think Figma for Maps.

We are especially on the lookout for front-end talent that is energized by the UI challenges of working on an infinite canvas and spatial tools. We are working with really talented folks, doing some interesting stuff [3]!

We are well-funded, have employee friendly terms such as early exercise, 10-year exercise windows and even a matching 401(k).[4]

Paying no mind to the "charitable" brush you're painting these situations with, it seems you're making a great argument for, like, a stash of gold coins more than for crypto. That'll outlast any government or online-network changes!
What problem is the proposal trying to address? From what I see, the two things it will "fix" are already non-issues.

1. Better TV slots for good teams – this already happens in every American sports league. Teams with popular star players, teams in big markets and teams performing well get the prime time slots.

2. Easier path to the playoffs for good teams – playoff eligibility is contingent on regular season performance. Why should it be any different? If you are a good team, play like it and earn your spot.
Instead of trying to directly integrate for example Prolog and Python I set up services in whatever language/hardware and communicate between then using JSON messages transported via MQTT. With this method I've got Docker containers running Java, Python, and Prolog code interoperating with ESP8266 and ESP32 devices I programmed in C++ and anyone can talk to anyone. I also wrote a Java server that interfaces with an Insteon gateway so my little MQTT cluster can respond to devices turning on/off or send a MQTT message to control a device. The pieces don't know or care what language the other pieces are written in.

On the Prolog side of things with not that much framework code here is a trivial example:

message(['Smarthome','Notify','brain','ping'],_):-
publish(['Smarthome', 'Notify', 'brain', 'ping_response']).

This code receives a MQTT message with a topic of Smarthome/Notify/brain/ping ignoring the message body and then publishes a return message on topic
Smarthome/Notify/brain/ping_response

I even have a container that runs nothing but cron with a mqtt client installed that sends mqtt messages at various times of the day and all Prolog has to do is subscribe to those topics and handle those messages.

That is still doubling down on risk, so diversifying is indeed prudence. Even a good bet is not a sure bet, particularly if it has a chance of high payoff.
I'm always confused why taxability is a concern when it comes to cryptocurrencies. It is often brought up, including in the congressional hearings. How would it be any different than when we worked with cash? We were working with cash or checks until very recently. It seems rather simple to me. Employers still have to declare pay, stores still charge sales tax, and you can even build in a consumption tax (state level or federal) that applies to every transaction. A fully anonymous cryptocurrency doesn't seem to interfere with taxation in any way (in fact, if you built in a consumption tax to the gas fees you could essentially collect taxes from other countries).

Is there something I'm missing here?
Who do I have to justify it to? What makes said entity qualified and competent to evaluate my justification? What criteria will be used to determine if my justification is valid?

No. This has been tried many times and companies think this is how you measure productivity, but it is not even sustainable. Developer productivity is not about moving the needle, it is about outcomes, and not outputs.

An outcome is finally merging an unsustainable PR that has sat for a month. It is not how many comments, reviews, meetings, or commits needed to get to the outcome.

The only people I know who want to implement these terrible measurements are the type of people who have ambitions as large as Mount Everest but die on the decline back down. The real goal is to be more like a f1 pit crew where you leave out the metrics and end up performing better than if you measured them.

> When you're hiring developers straight out of college and also straight out of FAANG companies your compensation range from low to high can extend to a 5X difference or more.

I wonder whether that kind of variation in compensation is really good, presuming we're talking about hiring into comparable roles. I'm familiar with the whole "10x performer" trope, and I get that there's value in flexibility rather than sticking to a rigid "Someone with this title and this many years of service in the company gets paid this much with 5% variance" formula. But it seems like "Agatha, George, and Bob are all 'Software Engineer II' but George makes 2x what Agatha does and Bob makes 2x what George does, because we hired Bob away from Google, George has no experience but he just graduated from Stanford, and Agatha was a star performer wasting her time at an office park in Boise" is a setup for some pretty hard feelings -- or worse -- if the pay disparity becomes known.

Small markets notoriously can't afford to keep their talent around. Pros know they have a limited time in the league and want to maximize revenue so they go to whoever offers them the most. The tweet below is relevant to the sentiment:

> Land value depends mostly on public infrastructure paid with public funds - roads, subways, schools etc are all public goods that the property owner profits from via price appreciation but the general taxpayer pays for

Spot on. You could think of a city as a "service" that you consume by taking space. The more space you use the more you should pay every month.

Even more so if you own a house and leave it unoccupied, because it's wasting public money invested in infrastructure.
One might argue that's an ownership incentive problem - there are insufficient incentives for owners to spend enough money to field a competitive baseball team. A bunch of owners are more or less explicitly in it for the guaranteed profit that comes with cheaply fielding uncompetitive teams.

(It's notable that teams in capped leagues also do this, most noticeably in the NHL. So the salary cap doesn't solve this problem so much as it redirects revenue from players to owners.)
A change like this would never happen. But it is a fun thought exercise. The current system in North American sports rewards losing. Between getting better draft picks helping to improve the roster and revenue sharing agreements minimizing any financial impact of losing, it is better to be a bad team than a mediocre team. Over the past 10 years or so, the result is that there are the teams that are trying to win championships, and the teams that consist of replacement-level talent. The current rules only make sense when everyone is trying to win with similar effort every year.

Having a developer with experience or one without is the kind of thing that can break a startup.

If you try to get a single junior developer to ship the product... well, good luck with that. I can count on one hands the people in my circle who could do that fresh out of university.
You definitely need at least a mid developer who shipped something else - of you can just outsource the tech side.

When my startup was incubated there were plenty of biz founder with a junior who couldn't ship something simple (even a wordpress with some plugins would have worked!) or ended up outsourcing their development (which ended up being a way to make some income when my startup didn't go anywhere).

Why would smart people want to apply to a job with ambiguous compensation ranges? In what ways are being ambiguous better than being direct in a job listing?

I'm going to remind everyone of this important idiom: As a business owner, nobody is as invested in your company as you. Even if your employees have a lot of passion for your business, even if they have a little "what-if" equity, they're never, ever going to have the same level of dedication to your role as you, the founder/owner/creator of that business.

All of this is also to say: it is not a buyers market for skilled tech labor right now. If you're an early-stage, my advice is to start competing with the open market.
