I might agree (or rather give a hoot) if salaries weren't so contingent on location.

Years ago when I suggested lowering or raising salary based on precisely where the employee lives is a demi-scam, HN told me I was wrong.

So is it practical or useful to advertise a salary range and be okay with paying someone $80k instead of $200k because they live in Des Moines instead of San Francisco? Or even just San Jose instead of San Francisco?
I simply quoted a sentence from the article. By the way I edited the title now. Thanks!
It's the same from an inside perspective.
Agree 3 column layout is no good, that 3rd column should go back to being above the 2nd column as before, I added custom CSS to fix that
Most of the replications failed, except some. My theory is that nuclear reaction in hydrogen loaded palladium is initiated by cosmic gamma rays or cosmic muons, thus those laboratories which were open to cosmic rays, such as at top floors or in mountain areas, are able to reproduce results, while shielded labs are unable.

I planned to set up a similar experiment and bombard a hydrogen loaded target with muons, or move the experiment to the top of a Carpathian mountain, but the institute of nuclear research in Kharkiv, Ukraine is under attack, so it's not possible.

The idea of using ErD3 instead of Nickel or Palladium is very good, because it saves weeks of time to load the target with Deuterium.
Thank you, super helpful and something we consistently hear (and have 100% dealt with). As you mentioned, all of these lead to delays, frustrations and ultimately under-delivering at a critical step of the customer journey

Really appreciate your comments and feedback, thanks again!

It is after all supposedly a special operation to get rid of neo nazis. I'm sure we could set up UN commision to de nazi it if he agrees to go home.
I can't agree more with you. I tried to sum my thoughts in my first reference

> One of the most common myths — and potentially most threatening to developer happiness — is the notion that productivity is all about developer activity, things like lines of code or number of commits. More activity can appear for various reasons: working longer hours may signal developers having to "brute-force" work to overcome bad systems or poor planning to meet a predefined release schedule.

The SPACE framework is not about measuring quantitative data only. I feel the need to explain how certain metrics might be interesting, but rather to identify key issues or unexpected events during engineering sprints. Without data analysis, you would not be able to understand why there is a drop of productivity during certain periods, and usually, those drops were created by the management (too many meetings or lack of follow-up)
The more transparency, the better for everyone, including and especially under-represented groups.
You're right! I just saw that. So now you have to remember the contextual meaning of the color when switching between areas of the site.
Why should HN follow the law of Colorado or any other city in the US for job posting ?
I really dislike this (and I tend to love great design and obsess over UX and small details): reduced legibility (small and thin fonts, lower contrast in e.g. inline code, alert boxes all blend in),
and reduced information (compatibility table is near useless, missing details in specifications).

Overall this seems like straight out of 2003. The inconsistent border contrasts and weird burgundy red accent only strengthens the feeling of student side project and lack of taste (red does not convey trust).

Also that logo is ugly. It looks frail and awkwardly narrow without being harmonious (see e.g. the tiny gap between /|).

Edit: I just realized every category has a different accent color (compare e.g. HTML and CSS sections). What an absurd joke from Mozilla.
Haha ya. Company culture plays a part. Some companies are engaged in neurotic analysis paralysis and it would extended to all other presenters. Often, finance gets to own the deck/presentation doc, which means were ultimately responsible for everyone’s content. And even when we’re not, other department heads often ask us “for help” on a presentation (even for meetings finance does not even attend) which typically means they want someone to build it for them and be responsible for the accuracy within. This is common in a “shared services” world where there is no analyst resources for the functional departments, they lean on finance.
Doesn't Russia has its own Nazi problem at the domestic level? I think it's disingenuous to conflate the different problems. It does not justify the invasion at this scale against a functioning democracy.
Atomic AI | Senior Software Engineer | ONSITE, South San Francisco CA | Full-Time

Atomic AI, Inc. (https://atomic.ai) is a well-funded, early-stage biotech company transforming the rational design of molecules and medicines through the cutting-edge fusion of artificial intelligence and structural biology. Atomic’s unique R&D platform, based on our research featured on the cover of Science (https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abe5650), provides new strategies to treat or cure previously undruggable diseases by targeting RNA structure. We are an interdisciplinary team working across computational and experimental biology and believe that our strongest asset is our people.

I am hiring a generalist Senior Software Engineer interested in truly full-stack work: from AWS resources, Kubernetes, building classical and supporting ML pipelines, all the way to client-side frontend development (though if you're in bio or ML check out the roles posted at https://boards.greenhouse.io/atomai! We haven't yet posted this SWE role.) This Senior Software Engineer role is fairly unique, we're in the early stages of trying to put together a modern cloud environment to support researchers and scientists. One of my current problems is figuring out how to build a secure environment while also giving folks the flexibility to iterate quickly on their code, maybe you know the solution :)

If you enjoy taking end-to-end ownership of problems in ambiguous areas, thinking about requirements, designing solutions, and implementing them, please reach out! april@atomic.ai
I don't have a strong pro or against view at the moment, but I do think people ought to consider the privacy aspects - what you earn, at least for a while, becomes easily derived from the job listing for your role.
Pure function components in React with MobX for state management rather than the hooks system has worked out quite well for me.

I do, however, keep finding myself wondering about jumping to Vue and VueX instead.

Ask me in five years, I guess.
Have they been? Cite your work.

Here's an example from a decade ago showing the opposite is true — there have been a bunch of industry money spent churning out false claims but the actual scientists' predictions have help up quite well:

Switchboard https://switchboard.cc | Multiple roles | Onsite (Hybrid) | Oakland, CA | Full-Time

We are a Seed stage company building APIs / SDKs / libraries for developers - more specifically growth engineers - to make it much easier to build robust growth experiences (e.g. onboarding experiences meant to drive activation, contextual nudges to drive feature engagement, etc...). These tools will enable their less-technical (or non-technical) cross-functional counterparts to craft growth journeys that determine who sees what, when.

We're hiring for engineers based out of our Oakland office (hybrid, at least two days in the office per week). We're a team of eight and are looking to bring on another one or two engineers over the next couple of months. We're offering generous equity, 10-year exercise windows, and the option to early exercise to everyone. We think this is the most flexible and inclusive approach.

We're currently prioritizing the following roles (but we'd love to hear from you even if you don't fit neatly into any of them):

- Frontend Engineer

- Full Stack Engineer

- Backend Engineer

>First off, it's essentially just cherry picking people over history who have made the argument against expanding NATO

So what? That's what hindsight is. The title is accurate.

>Secondly, this conflict hasn't coincided with a particular push for Ukraine to join NATO.

Perhaps Russia saw the right timing of geopolitical forces to do something (invade Ukraine to prevent NATO ascention) now despite it not being imminent. Winter, Nord Stream 2, war-weary Americans, etc.

>it wouldn't have changed the fundamental view that Russia has that it should control Ukraine, nor would it have changed the economic factors that make Ukraine a target for Russia

Isn't that the argument of some in the linked thread you criticize? John Mearsheimer says "Make Ukraine neutral, make it strong and independent".

The argument of these people isn't that Ukraine should have become a puppet state of Russia, but that there was a reality where NATO didn't expand and these eastern states would have grown anyway. In other words, to your point, they do seem to think Russia would have been less aggressive about the reunification of Ukraine if they didn't see it as "cheating" on it with the West.

---

Now, that was mostly devil's advocate. I am no expert on NATO or eastern Europe. Invading a peaceful country because you don't like who they talk to isn't ethical. Thousands are already dead, hundreds of billions of dollars in economic costs worldwide, and a new threat of armed conflict seemingly as a self-fulfilling prophecy by the Russian hardliner-in-chief.
Most of the who's hiring posts offer remote work. The issue with posting a salary range is that the salary is very depending on the location of the person applying.
So pro/rel for baseball? It’d be amazing if it happened for baseball before soccer in the US.
Thanks. It's a difficult topic to broach on HN because most commenters here are coming from an IC perspective, not a hiring manager or even startup perspective.

Big companies posting official job listings can make sure they comply with all of the relevant laws simply because they have HR and legal teams to do all of the legwork.

If you're a startup who really just wants a wide range of enthusiastic candidates to apply, you either:

1) Don't participate at all, lest you accidentally violate the rules or, worse, the law.

2) Post a huge range of salaries (This position pays $80K to $500K) so you don't exclude any candidates, but then your risk angering the readers.

3) Break every listing into multiple positions with different salary bands (Software Engineer I: $100K - $150K, Software Engineer II: $150K - $200K, Software Engineer III: $200K - $300K and so on). This barely provides any more signal to the reader, but it complies with the rules and laws.

Personally, I'd be most afraid of making it complicated enough that HR has to get involved. I'd rather allow engineers to post up generic invitations to apply to a company, not change the rules to require highly specific job postings or nothing.
If we want change we need a few things...

1. Be open to making real personal changes ourselves. Not just going with the flow and waiting on policy makers. We have individual choices we can make.

2. Look at all the things having an impact. Including the uncomfortable ones. The food supply chain is the one I've most recently become aware of. Take personal action on areas and support policy makers in pushing for changes. They need support because some things are hard (as in making the change means they won't be re-elected)

3. Learn the details. There is a lot of hogwash being thrown around. We should know the details and be able to speak well with people about them. In a persuasive way.

4. Understand people. For example, the #1 cause of death in the US is heart disease. An overwhelming majority of that is based on lifestyle. Most people just ignore future consequences compared to immediate feelings. Expect people to be this way and work with it.
GDB is great. I definitely recommend checking out watchpoints as well, a very useful tool for monitoring how a variable changes over time.

Quill.org | Senior Product Designer | Remote or Onsite NYC (at some point)

We're hiring: https://angel.co/company/quill-org/jobs/1863492-senior-produ... or email a resume and cover letter to jobs@quill.org.

Interested in joining a mission-driven educational technology nonprofit to help millions of low-income students become stronger writers and critical thinkers? Quill.org provides free online tools that have helped more than five million 3rd-12th grade students across the United States (10% of all students across the country!) become stronger writers and critical thinkers. Join our team to enable us to support tens of millions of students over the coming years.

You will be joining Quill as the lead Product Designer. This is an individual contributor role where you will be designing features yourself, managing the full cycle of design from sketches through engineering-ready designs. You’ll be fully owning the Quill brand and style.

Some info about Quill.org:

- We offer great work/life balance and a strong benefits package (401K - 4% match, Aetna health care, Professional Development Budget, etc.)

- We were named one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Education Companies in 2018

- We served over 2 million students last year and are continuing to grow.

- We’ve been funded by the Google’s AI for Social Good, College Board, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, AT&T, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (to name a few).
>But, people don't like change that touches their food and leaders just won't even talk about it. How do we get people to be open to changes in stuff like this?

You don't. I don't know where you get the idea that "leaders won't even talk about it", because I've been bombarded with articles about the GHG costs of agriculture for over a decade. It's everywhere.

And frankly, a lot of it is borderline deliberately misleading. Articles will choose to highlight the fact that about a quarter of global emissions are due to agriculture — but if you stick to developed countries, it's a tenth. You'll hear endlessly about how "potent" methane is, even though all climate models and serious scientific advocacy orgs have already taken this fully into account.

It goes on. The "plant-based" lobby is well-funded and manages to insert themselves all over the conversation while other industries like cement/steel/landfill/heating/shipping get little to no political or regulatory attention.

It's awfully convenient for the fossil fuel industry (responsible for three times as much GHG as everyone else combined) that climate change discussions are constantly diverted to the one topic which not only doesn't involve fossil fuels but also alienates practically everyone. I can think of no better way to sink Miami than to let the screeching vegans run the climate advocacy movement.
> if your local government has banned the money movement it won’t go through (modulo money laundering & dodgy banks)

That's my point and OP's : they didn't prevent it, just the messaging through SWIFTnet. TARGET2 and STEP2 still fully work.

Also, you can transfer batches of messages through FTP cronjobs and automated import at night, like it was done 20+ years ago. It just slows settlement from 1-2 days on average to 4-7 business days, depending on the correspondent bank.

Also, you can easily automate use the plenty free MT103 fields for additional routing data ex-SWIFTnet.

It's something which is often done - source : been there, done that, in my youthful days.

> “high finance” for Russian corporations and international corps doing business there slower and more risky.

Yes, anything in regards to transnational money. More expensive, too, but what's that in this inflationary world. A drop in the bucket of Moloch.
True but depending on the business, it's not always possible.
Always happy to clarify something I was vague about.

I get asking that question when you're talking about lesser known tech, but when someone writes an entire language themselves, it's a bit disingenuous to think they don't know about two of the largest languages on the planet. It'd be more reasonable to ask "What advantages does this have over the standard library in python or ruby?". A similar question would be looking at ruby or python and wondering why you should use those when perfectly good ANSI C exists.

As to the second part of my statement, I hope that's fairly obvious, but I'll lay it out explicity: Not all code needs to be a product vying for market share to be useful. Some code is for the author to learn from, some code is for making art, some code is for shits and giggles to throw into the world on a lark because someone else might do something with it, or learn something from it, or use it to solve that _exact_ bug they've been having in something just cause they see you did something similar a different way.
That's kind of what happens in Colorado now that listing salary range is compulsory. A company will say something like 110k-250k commensurate with experience, but you can bet they're not actually going to shell out anything close to the high posted range. Just my anecdote.
did you vet Dr. Stephen Schneider as well?

Should HN follow all applicable laws from every country, state, and county?
Not sure why this is downvoted, that's the only real way of having that talk.

Non-technical management is typically a red flag.
Sounds typical of modern support. Nobody knows how anything works and even if they did they are not actually empowered to help you anyway. Best way to get results is to complain loudly in public (Twitter) and hope someone at MS is annoyed by a barrage of retweeted negative mentions.
Many voices die in silence. It is hard to gauge motivations when it comes to the right to have a voice, because it is an appropriate arena for fanaticism.
IME some people get uncomfortable when receiving something for free, since they're used to there being a catch (e.g. "if you're not paying for the product, then YOU are the product", and TBF that can sometimes be the case if you're not cautious with the licensing). In fact, paying for a support or enterprise plan sometimes goes over better with management than the "free" path.
Testing SpaceX’s new Starlink service in Ukraine
I've seen that Mearsheimer video linked all over the Net last week... Mostly by raving pro-Putin trolls.

And the very first teaser quote from that Guardian article:

> "George Robertson recalls Russian president did not want to wait in line with ‘countries that don’t matter’"

Yeah, that attitude pretty conclusively shows why Russia doesn't belong in a mutual-defense alliance of countries big and small.
> Is there any concern about the fact that posting a salary range (ie, setting the initial reference point for negotiations) weakens the candidate's bargaining power?

No, more information only makes the candidates bargaining position stronger.
Agree. The climate-friendly path must become the path of least resistance if we want to have any hope of staying within the 1.5C threshold.

Three step process to get there:

1. Identify the optimal "climate path" for every need- transportation, consumer goods, etc...

2. Disincentivize all other paths via penalties (taxes & regulations)

3. Incentivize the climate path via subsidies

It will take large scale government action first. Technological solutions will come as a result of the new financial rules of the game.
I'm not saying it's easy but we have had plenty of elections which came down to minor variations in turnout. If your message is “they're all the same, why bother?” you are not going to get people to turnout as much as “we can do this, here's how!” and since you know that there are billions of dollars pushing falsehoods it's pretty much certain that things will go a way you don't want in the absence of counterpressure.
It's not ran by the inmates, the guards just have a small source of side income if they 'bend' the rules.
Yep, 200% zoom needed here
> If they share a salary range, and then hire a candidate for a salary outside that range, does that expose the business to a lawsuit?

In the context of HN, the problem is that as soon as you even have to think about this question it's a non-starter for a lot of posters.

Once you have to get the go-ahead from legal and HR just to share job listings, a lot of people are going to stop. Then it's just the biggest companies and/or professional recruiters with the time and resources to push the posts through, which isn't really what I want out of that thread.
