My wife’s a doctor and the “free presents” she’s gotten from conferences are laughable. A 128mb flash drive and a canvas bag are about the best things I’ve seen.

She’s also never gotten a free hotel stay at a conference unless her group was paying for it.

She tells me there are strict (very small) limits on gifts from drug companies.
I'm genuinely confused why you take such an extreme position on this issue. You seem like you understand some things about how neural networks operate. So I'd assume you understand their ability to interpolate between examples to new situations they've never literally seen before - what is commonly referred to as "generalization" in ML, which is really the key concept in the entire field of ML. But for some reason you've decided this simply can't apply to rhyming for the world's most advanced language model. Your choice buddy.

They're widely (although not universally) considered to be irredeemable in England after an article they published in 1934 entitled "Hurrah for the Blackshirts".
Aside from the fact that this person is a soulless scumbag, how do you ever even get to the position of executive director without realizing what a toxic and abusive attitude that is and should never ever be expressed by anyone in his position? Did he think that what he said was smart business sense? Is he that disconnected from the average employee? I just don't understand how it made it past all of the ethical filters that someone in a leadership position should have, and how that failing never manifested itself sooner.
As a Dane, I can confirm they are not.
That's fine, but the title should at least be factually accurate if the user is going to write their own.

This has absolutely nothing to do with antitrust. The word antitrust has lost all meaning.
Apparently it was an x–ray, a CT scan, some medication, and two nights in a hospital bed. That’s the real problem. Hospitals are great if you have been in a car accident and could die at any moment, but terrible for anything else.

In particular, hospitals in the US are well–known for lying about their prices. You’ll get a bill for some ridiculous amount, and your insurance will negotiate it down to something more reasonable. Of course they don’t negotiate prices on a case–by–case basis; instead the large insurance companies negotiate “bulk discounts” ahead of time. It is unlikely that his insurance paid more than $10k. Ironically he probably could have paid even less if he had asked for the cash prices at the hospital, and then gotten reimbursed by his insurance.

But even that is too much. If he had gone to his primary–care physician or an urgent–care clinic he probably would have paid a tenth of that or less, plus he could have slept in his own bed.
Yes indeed, thanks for the great short hand product notes!
Lower carbon impact + lower cost + 0-25% more durable

We can supply the crusher hardware, our binders, onsite first time PM + remote PMs after that. We now do this in all of Europe, UK + North America.
Imports are not an issue to North America and Carbon Crusher is an American company and we already have presence in the state of New York. There is no adoption risks as we see it, as long as the training is done properly.

The training is mainly operating training combined with daily and monthly maintenance. We have an extensive library of remote content for training purposes. Typical onsite training is 2 weeks, if the personell has experience with road maintenance. We are also looking at VR training to speed things up on the remote training side:)
I agree with this interpretation. Notice that "Apple Central" is referred to at least once.
This is the economic model they operate within. It’s dangerous to paint systemic issues as bad individual actors because it gives false relief when individuals happen to appear dealt with or reformed but the structural issues and powers remain. See for example the false relief of On the Waterfront’s ending (an incredibly and subversively anti-worker film for this reason)

Sure, but the point is that you have no idea if a binary is sandboxed before you execute it.

No, they do whatever they want, which includes regularly transmitting all sorts of data over the internet, with far less restrictions and visibility compared to a browser.

Crows are capable of identifying and remembering individual humans.

There’s a delicate balance to be struck if you live in a neighborhood with a large crow population and also like to pet neighborhood cats — and like most of life, bribes go a long way to lubricate the peace.
Yeah, makes sense. I agree with you.
Many people will have no choice, they're force to work wherever they can at whatever wage they can get.
I think thinking through the economics of the situation is one thing, but voicing it to the people you employ is a bit different.

Ask HN: Someone's using my email to sign up to newsletters. What should I do?
I woke up this morning to a mountain of newsletters in my primary inbox that I did not sign up for. A lot of them were for "earn money by surveys"-websites, but some were job listing pages and I even got some from regular, reputable, companies like Huggies (an american diaper company). The only common denominator I've found between all these companies is that they're US based, or the US version of the brand.

I'm not quite sure what's going on and why someone would do this, but it's not a good feeling. I started contacting companies about removing my account and associated data as per GDPR law, but truth be told I'm not quite sure if that applies. It's also way too time consuming.

This is my personal main email with gmail. I'd rather not swap, but it's hard to wade through all the unrelated crap.

Has anyone been through this before? How did you solve it? What steps should I take to protect myself?
What an odd letter.

> Besides hiring employees in at a lower wage to decrease our labor ( when able ) make sure you have a pulse on the morale of your employees...Do things to make sure you are the employer of choice. Most importantly, have the culture and environment that will attract people.

This is kind of amazing. Surely they know that the culture and environment that will attract people will be the one that pays better, right? The only thing more amazing is that some brown-nosing sycophant managed to call it "words of wisdom" without vomitting.
There'll be a bunch of cheap singular apartments spread all over the US - let's for convenience's sake assume they're about a one hour drive apart from each other but that's a totally random number of course.

You can rent them for very cheap but just as you're about to move in they suddenly become unavailable for whatever reason? Probably the owner lost their keys or something and then lawyers can argue for years if the owner is actually required to hand over the keys. Or maybe the apartment has no way to enter and lawyers can now argue for years if an apartment needs to have a door?

At least that's what I can imagine would happen.
$20/user/m is ridiculous. We are looking at paying a tiny bit more than this to have Github Enterprise hosted on our own hardware.
I'm willing to imagine that there was some point in USSR history at which this would have been the case, but please let's not pretend that this describes the period after the fall of USSR during which life expectancy dropped by a decade. The incomes of billionaire "oligarchs" are not reflected in the median income level.

I recently learned Kit Kats are made by Hershey in the US. Which explains why, despite visiting the theme park and all the stores around it every year, I've never seen the crazy flavors sold in Japan. But I wonder how much money Nestle makes if I buy a Kit Kat made by Hershey.

Also, I've been trying to cut out Nestle products for other reasons (marketing baby formula in developing countries, abusing water rights in ways that harm locals). Sucks to learn they make the food and litter I buy for my cat.

> Outside of the moral implication, this doesn't even logically make sense.

If I'm reading his point correctly ... He's saying there _was_ an employment crunch, and companies were competing with each other for employees by raising wages. He supposes that an increase in gas prices means that people need more money, so there are more employee hours "to go around". Therefore, companies don't need to compete as much with each other to attract employees, so they can go back to not paying as much.

Why have they remained free then? Another example of law enforcement incompetence/uselessness. If only the guy had some weed instead, he'd would've already been in jail and the key thrown away.
Pretty sure indie artists get paid less by the streaming services, but the much bigger deal is getting onto the playlists. Spotify sells playlist/discover spots, and the only artists who can afford the fees are the ones who are backed by labels.

> A rubric written in advance that would allow a single person to vet a work sample response mostly cures the problem you have right now. The red flag is the vote.

I argue the opposite: Not having multiple human opinions and a hiring discussion/vote/consensus is a red flag.

The one engineer vetting the submission they may be reviewing before lunch or have had a bad week, turning a hire into a no-hire. [1] Not a deal breaker in an iterated PR review game, but rough for a single round hiring game. Beyond that, multiple samples from a population gives data closer to the truth than any single sample.

There is also a humanist element related to current employees: Giving peers a role and voice in hiring builds trust, camaraderie, and empathy for candidates. When a new hire lands, I want peers to be invested and excited to see them.

If you treat hiring as a mechanical process, you'll hire machines. Great software isn't built by machines... (yet)

I don't think the suggestion was that the US court system's definition is supreme. I think the requirement of bread or at something starchy matches most people's intuitions for the definition of "sandwich." Is an apple (eaten whole, with your hands) a sandwich, given that apple peel contains carbohydrates?
No it doesn't. Your example only works because information gets leaked. And market can only absorb that much information, unless you put special regulatory bodies. And "punish" is still to be seen here.
For those saying the GitLab for Open Source program will allow open source projects to have more than 5 members: I was involved in a project that was a part of that program. However, it requires yearly renewals and they somehow botched it at their end last time even though we signed all the documents. So bottom line is that we don't have it anymore.

Achieving the optimum economy by allowing human nature to do its thing was supposed to be the way capitalism works. To me that would mean including scumbags, somehow the invisible hand would create paradise.
Even with all that factored in, and even with skipping meals, not traveling anywhere minimum wage does not afford one a roof over their head. Maybe with hours of commute it could start working out (if far away remote places are considered) but commute time is not included as wage and commute also costs money so it breaks the equation again. But CEOs are getting insane paychecks and bonuses.
They didn't say they're only using the git hosting, they're just not using the issue trackers because that would require adding non-devs. For all you know they could be using GitLab for CI, merge requests, package management, and deployments, none of which require adding new people to the team.
This example is kind of funny in a compiled language because a lot of modern compilers use a static single assignment (SSA) form as an intermediate representation. SSA effectively creates temporaries for each subsequent assignment operation. This helps with data-flow analysis but also makes it so that code like in the post can actually be less space efficient without optimizations in compiled languages.
>two people being able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within a 1 hour drive without traffic.

My immediate reaction to this statement was.. it's insane? In my opinion it should read 'a single person able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within an hour of public transport commute.'

Otherwise it sounds like you don't think anyone should be able to live anywhere reasonable without roommates?
Sorry people you dont agree with can have a voice. Theres no such thing as a "dangerous" opinion. Learn to listen to all sides and let others listen to all sides and then make independent decisions. The way you battle terrible speech is with countering speech, not shutting down conversation to your liking.

It will also force employees to look for higher-paying jobs, potentially causing them to leave if Applebees doesn't raise its pay. Normally inflation is associated with higher wages, not lower ones.

Without debating the merits of said concept, the effect would be to (finally) boost the supply of housing, and find a way to transition (decouple?) stored wealth from real estate assets to something else.

This. Just look at TLC, one of the biggest R&B groups of their time, and yet they were personally broke.
Sure, but discrediting the disgust on the basis of it being valueless has a similar effect of discrediting the positions that disgust is based on, especially when you aren't adding value yourself. Mention some solutions! Otherwise you're just talking about HN vs reddit in a thread about vile corporate practice that is very real and serious.
> you immediately rule out open-faced sandwiches, which as far as I know, are universally referred to as open-faced sandwiches.

I mean, the whole reason they're called "open-faced sandwiches" is to distinguish them from, you know, sandwiches, because sandwiches aren't open-faced.
> I wonder what the USA would look like if minimum wage was defined as; two people being able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within a 1 hour drive without traffic.

More labor being "outsourced" to cheap counties, for one. Rather than a restaurant making meals on site, they'll do most of the prep work 50 miles away where the CoL (and minimum wage) is cheap and truck it in.
They are men with one or more extra X chromosomes. Men. Some men who suffer from this syndrome can be treated so as to be able to impregnate women with their own sperm. I assume that this only works for men who have partial/mosaic Klinefelter, otherwise their sperm could also contain double-X chromosomes - but maybe it also works for them, leading to an increase in children being born with this condition?
7-11 is 24/7 hours too and an even faster wait time for a ice cold coke.

I can't tell if your post is just illustrating the difference or justifying it because a 5 minute wait time and 24/7 radiologists on call doesn't justify 69k in any reality.
Is this even real? I saw it posted on r/antiwork and it sounded fake.

I live in an area with hooded crows and ravens. The ravens are a bit larger, but they aren't massively larger.

On the other hand, as long as there is enough light, you can always tell them apart because the hooded crows have a lot of grey so long as they are fully grown (young hooded crows are darker than adults)
Nah,

Make it one bedroom per adult (so 1 bed apt for one, or 2 bed for 2, whichever is more) with a 30 minute commute in peak hour (by any means), as well as enough left over for a deposit on a similar home in 5 years for 20% lvr assuming current property value growth continues.

I remember my own experience with "youtube explosives" as a kid.

I'd watched NurdRage's video [1] on how to extract lithium from a certain type of battery and thought that sounded like fun, so I asked my father to help me get the batteries needed. When he then asked me why I needed this specific type of (not cheap) battery, I showed him [1] and he said "That looks dangerous and fun, let's do it together" (or something to that effect).

One hour and some needle nose pliers later, we're down one battery and a burn hole in our bathroom tiles (as a result of a lithium fire that my father immediately suffocated), but up a bonding experience.

Had I tried to disassemble the battery alone (ignoring for a moment how I'd have gotten my hands on it in the first place without my father's knowledge, perhaps by stealing a credit card or with an Alexa's assistance, as other posters have suggested might happen), I probably would have attempted to extinguish the burning lithium by pouring water on it, which I'm sure would have gone excellently :).

I guess the moral of my story is that it's probably more effective to try to earn your kids' trust and ensure their safety yourself, rather than attempt to child-proof the rest of the world (with the assumption that your children will be going behind your back in their attempts to earn Darwin awards in new and exciting ways).

Not sure about this. Maybe for big music fans, but most casual listeners aren't reading music blogs. They're throwing on spotify playlists which allow artists to pay to get boosted. Guess what, it's the major label artists that can afford those payments. They're seeing that their favorite tiktoker made a video with some new band. Guess what, the tiktoker was paid by a label to use that music.

I interpret this as you may not have had previous experience with therapy that's focused on you. If I'm right, then my two cents is, avoid telehealth. The convenience is not worth it, the stakes are way too high and technology is nowhere near capable of replicating the intimate, human experience that you get (for free b/c the cost is tragically the same) by physically sitting across from another person.

Other than that, finding the right person requires a little bit of luck. I responded really well to a therapist who was an LMFT and focused on boundaries, family systems.. I did a little CBT with them, changed my life fundamentally. You may not need all that. Regardless, avoid telehealth unless you have to.
So put the governments in charge of the standards committees.

I would personally never advocate for that, but it’s a potential solution.

Still a great deal better than the current situation. Currently if you do all that stuff and have room mates you might break even.

I'd be here for using the same standards as rental agencies do though so it's actually possible to get a place: 3x the rent of 1 bedroom for one full time job. And make it within 30 minutes during peak hour (by whichever means is fastest). Also if they cite a train as their fastest, then no car or license requirements on the job and no penalizing anyone if the train is late.

If they want to be feudal lords, they can at least have the bare minimum responsibilities that actual feudal lords had.

I come at this from probably a different perspective. A close family member has been having problems hiring people recently.

People want to make a minimum of $15/hr. For some small businesses this is a hard ask. But it's complicated further by the fact that many of the people they have hired have walked out when they got busy. Basically, they want to be paid to sit around and do the minimum amount of work possible. All the while not realizing that the person who is employing them is just barely more than they are (and bearing the brunt of bad months by making less).

So personally, I know that many small business owners are definitely hoping that the market changes so that they can hire not only quality people but at a rate that makes more economic sense.

In this case, this isn't some super-specialized job, it's just a job with high variability in load and requires (sometimes) long hours doing tedious (but not physically demanding) work.
The cloud service business model usually seems to turn into some form of bait+switch, based on getting loads of new users in, some percentage who will become quite dependent on the service, then cranking up the prices.
