This should be on the front page. We could always have had good fast metrics but the extremely inefficient data formats have made everything slow and expensive. It probably has a measurable ecological impact too.
Similar for me. I also work in a non FAANG but big, well-known company. This year's average salary increase was set to 2.7%, despite having a "record year" and despite last year only getting 1.2% "because of Corona".

I decided to leave and I am already in contact with some headhunters that were already nagging me on Linkedin etc. Good thing it's so easy to find a new job these days. Companies should try harder to hold their trained employees.

In the long run (maybe after my next job) I might turn to freelancing.
I just used nRFConnect and found a device name that was strange to me. Got curious and asked Google.

A personal pleasure toy (aka sex toy) that is visible on Bluetooth. Just for fun I walked a bit around in the garden and found the direction where the signal got stronger.

I can now deduce with reasonable certainty which of my neighbors home has a remote controlled sex toy in it. As I know the family living there and how conservative they are with their cultural background I would not have expected that.

Imagine how I now just could now wait for the parents to make their big yearly holiday. From the website of the tool I know the specs on how long the battery holds when not in use. So if before the end of the holiday the tool is visible in Bluetooth I could reason with a very high degree of certainty that it was the daughter's tool. If it were so this tool would five her away. It would be a liability for her (if it is her tool). If their community knew, they would be appalled. So it is a liability for the whole family as well.

They are nowhere near the technical ability to identify this liability I just stumbled upon by chance.

I guess this "crackpot" would be Agustin Carstens, the General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). Some irrelevant tinfoil type in the Swiss Alps somewhere, or something.

He helpfully put it at a 2020 summit of the International Monetary Fund:

“We don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today and we don’t know who’s using a 1,000 peso bill today. The key difference with the CBDC is the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability, and also we will have the technology to enforce that… and that makes a huge difference.”

I don't disagree with the rest, but you've gotta look pretty hard to find a town or village in Japan without a convenience store (although I'll grant it's not always a 7-11).
The question before the A380 eas developed was which model would win: hub-and-spoke or direct flights. Airbus thoight it was hub and spoke, Boeing bet on direct flights. Hence the A380 and B777. Sure Airbus was proud to build something bigger than the B747. Now, both the 747 and the A380 are gone. The biggest blinder was to not have a proper cargo version of the A380. It did prompt the A350 and B787 so, both of which are great planes.
> There's a pretty big difference between the introduction of a CBDC (essentially just a government bank account + debit card) and the deprecation of cash such that the CBDC is the ONLY way you can transact.

It seems perfectly obvious to me that the main intent of a CBDC is to deprecate cash. This allows infinite stimulus through arbitrarily negative interest rates, which could prevent the stock and real estate markets from ever crashing.
I'm from Norway.

After living in UK ford few years, I noticed that I could not expect to find baked bread that tasted good, had the texture and crust as Norwegian baked bread. I even tried to buy flour and baking myself, but it didn't taste the same at all.
When a user signs up for Optery, the scanning / matching technology finds 70+ matched profiles at data brokers on average with a typical range from 50 to 100. You’ll find these results in your Exposure Report after the scan completes, typically within 1 hour from sign up. False positives in the Optery Exposure Reports are rare, but do happen sometimes. The most common reasons for false positives are:

1) The user either intentionally or accidentally inputs incorrect data when they signed up. For example, today we had a customer complain about false positives, and then when we looked into it, it turned out he had accidentally input his birth year incorrectly when signing up.

2) The user has a common name and lives in a big city. Optery looks at lots of data before its confident in the match, but false positives can slip through for example when there are multiple people named John Robert Smith, age 38, living in New York City.

The best way to reduce false positives, and the accuracy of Optery’s scans in general, is to add more information to your profile beyond the minimum required to sign up (e.g. middle name, past cities and states you’ve lived in, etc). This helps with our matching algorithms.

If what you’re referring to are the "View" links to data brokers in your dashboard, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, the “View” links have limitations. After the comments here, we made a few quick cosmetic updates to reduce the confusion (the updates are described elsewhere in the comments) and we have several changes planned to make the dashboard more intuitive. More info on what’s going on is here:

There's this collective Stockholm Syndrome in the US. People don't realize how bad just normal things like bread or vegetables taste. Start calculating this stuff in PPP and I think we'll find the median American is not doing so well.
I believe they mean things like Amazon Sidewalk, where it co-opts your home internet connection to serve Amazon devices.
I still think (hope!) the real reason central banks (and governments) want a digital currency is that they're not sure completely replacing cash-infrastructure with one or more privately-owned, possibly foreign-owned, alternatives is such a great idea.
CBDCs and cryptocurrencies have virtually nothing in common.
The problem is this is great news to other competitors and its not possible to bring everyone on board. Its probably not even legal.
This is normal in a country where inequality is too high. The lower class starts to feel excluded from society. Over time as the groups are separated from each other by wealth, security gates, policing etc, they lose empathy for each other. As inequality grows, the underclass grows resentful, then eventually hostile.

"Reaching out" and "being compassionate" won't work, because it does nothing to solve the underlying problem (poverty and exclusion). In fact, it just comes off as condescending (which it is). "Getting tough on crime" only accelerates the decline because now you're declaring war on the underclass. Now they REALLY have nothing to lose, and are fighting for survival.

And so you watch in horror as your once beautiful city goes into decline, feeling powerless to do anything. The left pushes for more leniency, the right pushes for more punishment, and the whole city goes to shit while everyone ignores the elephant in the room.
In this case, your quote is only one third of the content. You are not quoting the first sentence or the last part, which is why the quote doesn't make sense.

Your quote should read the following, where I've italicized the two parts you left out, "NO EFFECT ON CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION LAW.—Nothing in this section (other than subsection (c)(2)(A)) shall be construed to impair or limit— any charge in a criminal prosecution brought against a provider of an interactive computer service under State law regarding the advertisement, promotion, presentation, distribution, or solicitation of child sexual abuse material, as defined in section 2256(8) of title 18, United States Code;"
Eventually? That's is the actual plan, the only plan. Control of ordinary citizens.

The rest are just pro-forma excuses. If they were serious about money laundering, why are the banks only fined 10-15% of profits they make from laundering cartel money, and literally no key decision makers go to jail? And you still think they care about money laundering? lmao.

It's not about money laundering, never was. It's just to CONTROL you, and absolutely nothing else.

Here is right from the horse's mouth:

First, define “disinformation.” Second, prove that only this disinformation is being suppressed. Lastly, prove that I don’t actually want to see some of this disinformation. I write articles and checking official Russian media is part of ensuring I’m writing factually.

Your problem is thinking that I don’t have the right to see media I want to see.
I'm not getting the relevance.

For example, gas-stations already ration gas: they won't sell you more than so much at a time (because the pumps only go so fast). And gas-stations ration how many vehicles they'll fill (because they only have so many pumps). And they won't sell more than so much gas at a time in the event of a rush (because the gas-station only has so much available between refuels). And your car rations how much gas you're able buy at once (because the tank is only so large).

But.. I feel like that's just a framing we can push onto about anything; we're basically just looking for things to apply the word "ration" to.
So they admit it will fall eventually? Then what's the point? Stop the bloodshed immediately and negotiate a peace.
So, when I saw this I thought that it was a generic question on what HNers look for in a a partner.

It is not, as I see.

Relationship advice is a very complicated matter. And I cannot dispense relationship advice based on so little information. The information is literally a few paragraphs.

I give relationship advice and set people up whom I have known at least for months.

I have caused two marriages, one relationship going on for eight years, one that lasted 3 years and so on.

I think that you are a woman. But I will not base my opinion on that.

Lifelong relationships should be given very thoughtful consideration. It is also linked with who you truly are. What kind of relationship would be the most suitable for you? These are wha Mt you have to know.

If you want a very stable life of peace (peace as in peacetime), then you will have to trade some wild fun for it.

And if the stable, responsible one allows you to have fun outside now and then, then what's wrong with it? You should stay with the stable one, and have fun outside often.

As you are thinking of kids, I assume you want stability. And share responsibility.

The doctor seems the better option here.

But will they allow you to maintain a lifestyle that you are currently having? Or, are you sure if you will want to maintain the same 5-10 years from now on?

What about your financial situation? How is it?

Just as MandieD said below, I am ready to to take predictable, measured responsibility no matter how hard or annoying it is.

How about you, or either of your partners? Will they be there for unforseen responsibility?

There are simply too many unknowns. I cannot suggest you some clear answer. Not should I.

I seriously suggest that you write things down. Elaborately, clearly. Your feelings, both of their merits, demerits, all ups and downs and so on.

Writing makes things clearer.

Some general advice that I can offer are:

1. Compatibity matter a lot. All kinds of compatibility. You ask yourself- "Do we feel the same about X?" Where X is not some thing. It is just you both being okay with the others' choices.

2. Communication matters. From smallest things to the largest, you should be able to communicate each and everything. Where is that better?

3. Respect matters to me, but I do not know about others. I genuinely respect my woman with whom I have been for 7 years. I am her fan and would be the same even if she were not mine.

4. Physical attraction is not to disregarded entirely. It matters.

Something I think a lot of people are forgetting is that NOT EVERYONE HAS A BANK ACCOUNT! Nor does everyone trust banks, wish to make a bank account, have the necessary cognitive ability to make a bank account, etc. By making cash completely digital, you are getting rid of the unbanked. Which isn't a small amount of people - approximately 1 out of every 20 people in America do not have a bank account. That's literally tens of millions of people who would not be able to FUNCTION should we have a digital dollar.

So who would be giving out these bank accounts? The government? Banks? Can banks say that if you don't have an address, or if you don't have 40 bucks to your name, or any other list of conditions, then you cannot have a bank account?

The fact that people are not even thinking about this blatant problem shows exactly how much care is given to those who have no bank account, and what the true intention is. The intention of a digital dollar is to make banks necessary to live. The intention of a digital dollar is to make it literally impossible to function without a bank account, and that's a huge problem.
I can see a lot of blame here at liberals and progressive. So my question is what would we expect from more conservative right wing politicians? (Looking for honest answers) I am imagining more "tough on crime"
Twitter stream looks like MSN.com/Yahoo (News) frontpage. It's not social, it's full of suggestions I don't like.
I like getting prepackaged sandwiches at my local grocery store. They're usually fresh and are more likely to have better turnover than a gas station. If you splurge a little the deli-counter sandwiches are usually good too.
Once you have kids the problems will arise on their own, so you need somebody you can depend on or you will suffer.

Also sleep deprivation is not conductive to having a happy sex life.

In our age marriage is done out of love, but legally it is still a contract about the provisioning of resources and services. Having a happy marriage is like winning the lottery, but having an unhappy marriage is like living in a plane crash waiting to happen every fricking day with you sitting in a window seat. Choose wisely.

Its not that simple. If somenone wanted you wouldn't even know that. Besides - IMO for the hopper it is also not easy - changing colleagues, earning respect again etc. OTOH, whatever one says - the goal of the job is to get paid and support your familly. That gets especially important when you have kids.
Definitely. One of the main reasons Optery is only for U.S. residents at this time, is because the problem is at its worst here. We need a privacy law at the federal level with a strong right to opt out, and some teeth in the law for enforcement.
Like I said, it's VPN tech under the hood. But just using VPN tech does not make you a VPN, no more than joining two bricks together with cement makes a house. You need to connect lots of bricks in the shape of a house before you can call it a house, and you need to connect machines into an actual private network before you can call it a VPN.
His solar calculations IIRC were off by a factor of 10 in terms of what amount of energy could be extracted from a given piece of land. I do not have the book now otherwise I could've pointed it out. I think he was calculating the footprint of different forms of energy. Thumb rule is that at 20% efficiency a PV panel can get 200 Wp energy per sq m which translates to 200 MW per sq km. Leaving aside space for equipment, gaps, roads etc one can easily have a thumb rule of 100 Mw peak per sq km. I believe his book had this calculation as 10-20 MW per sq km.

This assumes 1 KW peak irradiance. Off course things will change based on latitude, season etc and one has to adjust for these factors however Solar is a no brainer in tropical and temperate climates alike at this point in my opinion.
> The system is designed so that most of the staffing budget goes to new hires, not to reward existing employees.

Organizations undervalue their employees, encouraging brain drain, and then wonder why retention is such a hard problem. It's almost comical.

It also doesn't help that salary sharing is still so taboo (in the US/Canada at least). Stinginess is hard to do when people know what they're worth and know what you're paying everyone else.

> Now that I see it from the manager perspective, I pledge to stay sharp and become a job hopper ... as soon as I find the time to start interviewing. :^)

It's true that interviewing takes up a lot of time, but you can accomplish a lot just by doing low-stakes networking. Connecting with someone new over coffee at a cafe (and/or virtually) is a 15-30 minutes, every once-and-a-while kind of thing. Even better if you interact with them before/after on social media.
Actually, you skipped the stage where they came about. How come American cities have so many more violent criminals than other Western cities. The US already has the highest incarceration rate in the world.
Let's say you earn 500k and your cost of living is 200k leaving you with 300k additional disposable income. Assuming a 7% increase in your cost of living, you still have $300-$200*.07 additional disposable income. The question now is, why should the company be the one absorbing this loss and not the employee selling the labor, to put it bluntly, let alone adding an extra 7 percent to your extra $300k? Even if they are able to pull a price increase, they will be under pressure by shareholders to keep the profits to preserve the share price to offset the collapsing multiples. Surely at the borderline compensation levels or below, cost of living increases can make a material difference to the employee's ability of providing their services in the first place, out of their control (analogous to a negative gross margin for a vendor), and force them into pursuing an alternative solution (reducing expenses, moving to a different location, moving to a different industry).

However, if the employees are significantly above that limit, the primary reason the employee is able to justify their additional earnings must be competition in the labor market, so that should be the driving factor here as well.

Oh, that's nice. I was following this case [1] for some time. Raging bull is a stock picker letter subscription service.

Their books were laid open in the court case. IIRC they were easily raking in $10M in 2020. The $2.4M isn't more than a tax.

The most striking thing in this whole case is Jason Bond's early testimony (I think it was Jan-Feb 2020) that he didn't go into the business to trade stocks, but to make money teaching others to trade stocks. After seing Tim Sykes (IIRC) make huge profits from subscriptions. There's some evidence that he's a net loser in trading, presented by a forensic accountant.

On top of that, there are some heart-breaking testimonies from customers about "they made it sound so simple, and when I lost money, I bought in to the next level subscription."

There was a receivership and order to halt operations a year ago, but it only lasted a couple of months. I was very disappointed the FTC couldn't find more to shut this operation down. It doesn't seem like a business the world would miss.
