Even a small company - or especially one - will certainly have a ballpark range in mind for what's possible. Even if a wide one, they could offer quick guidance with something like:
Looking for help! CTO / VP ($100-$150k), Developers / PMs ($80-120k).

Bam, everyone gets a range, and the small company can cast a wide net. It doesn't have to be so complicated.
No you're wrong. Its absolutely a selling point. When i got my remarkable i did what i do with any other tech, start searching the menus and features and trying things out. What i immediately discovered... theres nothing to do! Until you start writing, or you have something to read, the device is useless. I got mine for XMas, and a week earlier i bought myself an ipad pro to use as a digital notebook. Unboxing it and using it day one and i was immediately struct by the quiet tech that it is. Its unlike anything else i've used in a long time.

Get an ipad and theres endless apps and accounts and notifications and a shiny bright screen begging for you to play with it. The ipad really wants to be your computer with a stylus attached, and that is great, i take it traveling instead of anything else and its really convenient. The remarkable is NOT a computer. The remarkable sits at my desk and is just ready for me, while the ipad is eternally charging, or chiming, or begging for attention and distraction. I can't have it at my desk while i work.

The remarkable is literally a digital notebook and has about as much utility as a real notebook - a lot for writing and reading and almost 0 for anything else. It is honestly the first product i've used that actually replaces paper at my desk.
The old version looked more like it was from 2003 than this—but in a good way. It wasn't afraid of making things visually distinct. This one's the modern "consistency over usability" style that's currently in fashion.
Is it similarly misleading calling "Stripe Press" "Stripe"? Since people expect Stripe to just handle payments and related areas, while "Stripe Press" describes themselves the following way:

> Stripe Press produces works about technological, economic, and scientific advancement

I'd say, call things the way they want to be called. If you put "MIT" in your organizations name, then I'm gonna assume your organization is associated/related to MIT. If you're not related to MIT but your name is "MIT $ORGANIZATION", then I'd say that is misleading, not the other way around.

I would like to connect with you about applying for CareRev, specifically for the PM position...

The reason I am hitting you up on HN, is multi as opposed to simply applying to your position ;

My resume would pale in comparison to speaking to you directly...

You don't have email in profile:

I have built ~11 large scale hospitals, technical designer on many, commissioned several and was part of the go-live teams for a few.

My experience in such a complex environment isn't easily captured on paper, and I would ask if you would be willing to have a quick intro call instead.

I'll apply for the job, but you can find me on linkedin in/sstave

I suspect most founders do not account for their opportunity cost correctly.

For example: two founders, one innovator at $150k current wages, and one tech at $350k. They work earning $0 each, spending their savings for one year, and then get a seed round of $1 million. Even though they have invested $500k equivalent at the highest risk they will only get common shares in their first round, so their cash-equivalent investment is usually highly undervalued. The standard VC return is looking for 30x return over 10 years (from their one successful investment out of 10 companies). The standard VC returns represent the best approximation to investment risk. However founders have higher variance (one company) and they don’t get preferential shares, so founders need far more than 30x return (much greater than $15 million) to even break even on their risk because they are highly leveraged due to common shares. Only 5% of VC funds even achieve fair returns, so founders are even more fucked than you might think.

Edit: although wages are less in most countries, I expect the risk for founders is actually higher. Investment amounts are smaller, less chance of outstanding company success, and investors seem to really screw up the companies they invest in (from my experience in NZ watching other companies that took VC or seed investment).

> It's not used against a team or platform and it is primarily used internally by management and not so much engineering teams which I think is the right way to use it.

Absolutely. It’s the old descriptive vs normative saw. We should be very interested in measuring how productive we are. But how do we really know how productive we should be?

I think trying to answer that is hard to impossible for a developer, because you can always automate or abstract further, but the cost to do so marginally increases and you probably won’t know the full cost until it’s already realized, at which point, requirement and prediction are obviated.

I know I’ve had my fair share of negative experiences with a scrum team that wanted ever faster velocity and used burndown charts as a stick with no carrot in sight.

Agreed, this "primary color based on language" is a cute idea, but awful to actually consume. JavaScript (my most visited) is a low-contrast orange (especially when wrapped with inline-code styling).

Overall the new design does feel more slick, I think it has potential. But I wish they had focused more on readability/usefulness over "cuteness".

This site doesn't need to be "fun" — they've successfully created a useful tool. They should be proud of that, and keep building in that direction.

That makes sense to me. Then in your situation, assuming you need those metrics and they are helpful, it may be helpful to add a metric like "satisfaction" or something that could counterbalance the negative effects that the other metrics could have.

I could see how a satisfaction metric would counterbalance a work output metric. The team will probably feel less satisfied if they know that corners are cut or if they are having to work unsustainably.
> This presupposes that scientists are the reason that "not left-wing" people (in reality a small fraction of US conservatives) aren't listening to scientists

No it doesn't. My argument is that if the scientists start bringing more politics into this, they make the political situation even worse than it is now, and they give people even more reasons to resist listening.

There are reason why one would want to implement a RISC CPU over x86-64. Atleast as a small team. Another problem is that many application today assume the presence of atleast SSE if not AVX2 which have been around for longer then or almost a decade. A patent expired CPU will always have to play unless the architecture they clone was stopped being developed much (as SuperH was which J-Core based it's design on).
I've been pushing this for months. At the very least it should be part of the template in the text at the top. Companies can feel free to ignore it if they want, but it would be a good nudge.

It's a matter of fairness. Not everyone is good at negotiating salary, and they shouldn't have to be just to get a fair paycheck. There is tons of data showing that women and minorities get paid less for the same work in part because they are afraid to do so.

Posting the salary up front goes a long way towards pay equity for people who are traditionally underpaid.

One thing I do personally to help the situation is go through the Who's hiring threads and upvote any post with a salary listed. I encourage everyone to do the same.
for $400????
Yeah, that's a terrible justification: that just means that people who are connected and friends get better pay, and those who are outsiders and less connected get worse pay: because they don't know what to ask for they'll likely be wrong, but it's only in one direction: if they go too high they'll get told no, if they go too low they won't know it.

I think it's interesting even just to try to define an "IP-free computer" in a clear way. Like presumably we don't care if minor components like resistors or screws are proprietary, because it's trivial to replace them with a different supplier. Or taking it to the extreme, obviously we don't care where the steel in the screws comes from. Steel is steel, even if being a steel company requires tons (kilotons?) of proprietary machinery. It's hard to even figure out where the screws in a computer come from, much less the steel.

Im going to speak to the US as I am American, but most of this could be implemented in other countries. Global action requires diplomacy and global agreements, but these policies could be replicated in other places/it’s not like there isn’t buy in around the world to varying degrees.

In no particular order: institute carbon taxes, tie in climate based criteria for fha loans including weatherization, electrification and neighborhood planning, drive industrial policy towards the expansion of green industries including renewable energy, but also on the demand planning and efficiency side (ex heat pumps in buildings, EVs etc). Shift agricultural policy to focus more heavily on climate impacts and discourage fossil fuel intensive methods. Dramatic shifts in federal fleets away from fossil fuel vehicles, etc.

I’m not an expert on this stuff but these are just obvious things. Actual policy could be crafted to address these things on a number of different levels.

There are projects of mine where I'm the only relevant core contributor but the ecosystem is developed by many other people and it's largely worked out fine.

I would hope that if either of us got hit by the proverbial bus that people involved in the ecosystem would pour themselves a strong drink and dig in to the necessary maintenance anyway.

Projects I've ended up moving on from have regularly worked out that way, and I think that while solid might not be as popular as some people would want for something to bet their production code on, it does seem to me that it's popular -enough- that I don't believe you're a truly dangerous single point of failure here.

(if this comment read as negative rather than an attempt at a clear eyed analysis, I apologise for phrasing it wrong)
Such a shallow dismissal. What about all the other breakthroughs? What about the two other options you didn't mention, "AI-powered robots" and "Aging clocks"? To me, all of those options seems like over-hyped choices, but I guess sometimes breakthroughs are over-hyped before they suddenly have injected themselves into our world and we can't be without them. But "AI-powered robots" feels as likely as Metaverse and NFTs to be breakthroughs, but then I'm bearish on all of the options mentioned.
Good research leads to good design resulting in a small amount of code in the right places that either:

Fix a bug,
Add feature set
Do something new.

My epithet for one programmer was "He writes a lot of code"

Extra code makes it harder for the next guy to figure out what's going on, and has more space for bugs.

But that came from a "productive" developer and that code can tie down a dozen maintainers in dozens of customer sites.

The productivity is job creation for a bunch of folks whose main ambition is finding a job where they don't have to work with crap code.

I've done a number of projects where I got rid of multiples of code compared what I put in.

The best example was where I replaced a subroutine with a single character constant.
Now that the reg force are coming in and their spetsnaz effectively got beaten.

Explained here [Who does the data protection law apply to?](https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...)
Tools like Flagr typically function as a microservice that handles all of the feature evaluation. That means you need a network request every time you want to get a feature's value. With GrowthBook, there's a single cacheable JSON definition of all of the features and then evaluation happens locally within the SDKs. We found this approach to be much better for performance and scalability.

The other missing part in most feature flagging tools is the analysis side. Most tools let you run an A/B test, but it's up to you to track the data, process it, and run it through a stats engine. We built that part directly into GrowthBook.
Sorry for your loss.

I ran into him once at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View a while back and he was willing to grab lunch with me and some friends and shoot the shit for a few hours. I can tell why he was a great mentor - approachable and knowledgeable.
Nice launch. Will Growthbook one day support "Feature Rollouts" like statsig? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFmSVP5Jxmc

A lot of big companies need to gradually introduce a new feature to an audience while also seeing how that feature impacts their metrics. If they go with just feature flagging, they have to build their own logging and analysis. But if they go with experiments, then they're overly constrained by that analysis since experiments are meant to be statistically rigorous.

It's a tricky problem which I think statsig solved with "pulse metrics" and "feature gates".
I don't think there are a lot of excuses being made. Consumption is a problem but solving that is probably more difficult than deploying technological solutions.

I don't think anybody is very optimistic about our chances on either path.
Violating the law is not a concern. You can simply put $50k/year to $1B/year and you comply with the law.

Hiring managers / business owners simply do not want sellers of labor to know the minimum they are willing to pay. Naming the minimum is a loss of negotiating position for the purchaser of labor, and that is why employers do not like the idea.

Employers also do not like the idea of having to increase their current employees' pay if market prices are rising. I know, because I have benefited greatly from paying different people different amounts simply because they do not know what I am willing to offer other employees.

The explanation in the article is: « So you don’t have to keep version numbers in your head, we’ve put more emphasis on yes and no iconography for browser capabilities »

But as far as I can tell all they've done is put a tick there if any version of the browser supports the feature.

That means I could have learned the same information from the old table just by looking at whether the cell had anything in it, with no version numbers "in my head" at all. So I'm feeling patronised rather than helped.

If they'd done a bit more work and made the ticks indicate something like "available in the oldest supported version of the browser" (which is a recent version for Firefox and Chrome but not for Safari), that might have justified what they wrote.
