Being viewed as a good president is often luck. Carter had very bad timing. Iranian hostages, inflation and other issues. Reagan on the other hand had lucky timing with the economy going up and Gorbachev coming in which sealed the end of the Soviet Union. Clinton was lucky riding the .COM bubble and which then blew up on Bush. Bush also had bad luck with 9/11 and the real estate bubble blowing up during his presidency and not two years later under Obama. Trump was lucky that the upturn from 2008 on kept going during his 4 years. Seems Biden has bad luck that the bubble created by easy money seems to finally cause negative consequences.

He was an outcast in his own party. [1] With not just the Republicans but also the Democrats against him, he wasn't terribly effective. What he did post-Presidency is no way to measure his tenure in office.

That's nice, unfortunately not an option for me.
Semantically maybe they are similar, but in the sociological parlance they mean very different things.

Yes, equality of opportunity is a good thing. If you have the qualifications, anyone should be given equal consideration. Changing or relaxing requirements in order to attempt some societal good is wrong. Those issues should be addressed upstream of any employment decisions, mainly by removing impediments to success, not by preferential treatment.
Unionize, refuse to be on call, refuse to answer slack messages outside of work hours. If working in tech, and at startups specifically has taught me one thing it's that urgency is ALWAYS fake, you can put the fire out tomorrow morning. If there aren't consequences for bad planning then the bad planning continues. See also: financial bailouts of pretty much any kind, the cost of mistakes needs to be adequately large.
Death tax vs estate tax. Immigration vs international talent acquisition. UBI vs Freedom Dividend. Gentrification vs Multi-family zoning.

The industry has, for the most part, been migrating to live collaborative edits via CRDTs and the like rather than exclusive access with non-deterministic terminating conditions. You could argue that the whole field of distributed computing is geared toward solving this type of problem.

For what it's worth, I designed my own kitchen (and house for that matter), and me and my wife spend upwards of 2 hours a day in this room because we cook almost every single day, making and baking and preserving a large number of foods from scratch.

I simply think that using the kitchen doesn't just have to be easy, it has to be joyous. If it's one of the rooms we use the most, and entertain guests in too, it should be beautiful as well as useful. I am not against counter space!, but against a material drabness that seems to make spaces less than alive.
The strange thing about the offering is that it seems to be at odds with the original justification of Levels existing, at least for the folks who freely contributed the data being sold. The entire problem before was that employers had access to information about comp that employees did not. This put the employees at a significant disadvantage in negotiations, and was certainly not a win for everyone involved. The concern is that Levels is heading towards a repeat of that situation.

I’d also add that it seems a little hard to square the circle here around how this feature is aligned with the stated mission. Does this product help people make better career decisions? It’s also fine if this particular move is about making money. We all need to make money.

Levels has done a lot of great work, and I hope there’s a way for y’all to be compensated for all the effort you’ve put in. Have the costs of the site gone up significantly? I remember reading an Indiehackers post about how you were able to provide the site to users for something like the cost of a cup of coffee a month. If the cost structure has changed, it would be awesome to explore alternative funding approaches. I’d gladly pay y’all $10/month to maintain the site.
Good for you! Glad you had some fun.

And you are in the beginning of your career, can just as well post it to make yourself attractive for future employers. Better solve an actual problem that you had than to post some made-up nonsense-projects on Github just because people think you gotta have "a Github" when applying somewhere.

Above a certain percentage it's going to poison human-generated content too. You will have to discern between ai-generated content, ai-influenced-human generated content and genuine human-generated content.

One could argue it's already happening. How many of the people we talk to everyday get their facts from SEO-spam websites and Google instant answers (which often sources its content from such websites)? Even if we avoid AI-generated content, we might be gettting fed it by proxy.

Literally the first thing you read on the homepage is wrong. They are either stupid or lying, either way I'm not using the site.
My first preference would be to avoid it by using optimistic concurrency control rather than locking. Maybe display a hint that someone else is editing but allow the user to ignore it.

I'm American and I wouldn't do this, unless I had just introduced them. I assume the OP is referring to situations where the introduction of the names, if it happened at all, was a long time ago. In that case, I would argue the etiquette should be the other way: it seems slightly inconsiderate to assume the listeners have committed your family tree to memory if they've never met them.
Why not go right to the source:

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/immigration/h1b

"The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States."

At least according to the U.S. government's Department of Labor, H-1B is a nonimmigrant visa, offering temporary employment, for specialty occupations that cannot be found in the U.S. workforce. That said, it is highly likely there is some other official government source backing up your claim that it (as you quote from somewhere) "allows foreigners to be temporarily present in the U.S. with lawful status and immigrant intent". The U.S. government has a reputation for providing conflicting information!
I don’t know about you but I hate ads and like to pay for my content, I also don’t see why I’d want to give money to intermediaries every time I pay for something.

Why would I be against payments being built into browsers in a standardised and open source, open standards way if it might eventually solve those problems?
That's true. YAML 1.2 specification made YAML a strict superset of JSON.

Man, I really envy that, it's worth a million bucks a year easily. Enjoy it while it lasts, and you don't spend your days going back and forth to the daycare.
I'm sure some will want to do that, sure. Especially the marketing driven blogs/sites.

But they'll be competing against people that don't do that, so unless their content is really really good and unique, they'll lose in the market and either adapt or die. Maybe some mega celebrities could pull that off, but it would be pretty rare.

I mean, they could easily be doing that right now. $1.99 is high enough that the problem of micro payments isn't really a problem at that price. But they don't because it would be a terrible strategy...
Most of the content Google generates is either AI-generated or plagarized.
I lived in Highlands Ranch, CO for roughly half a year, and man the suburban sprawl in anything outside of Boulder is on steroids. My impression of Colorado is that it's a "hot" place to be right now (very much hyped as the place to escape to), but that will in time be expended as housing costs skyrocket and no new housing can be built because everything is interconnected by a 6-8 lane highway.

"I just never quite understood why he lost so badly."

The hostage crisis probably broke him (the rescue attempt was a total disaster. Not his fault but it looked terrible) plus the inflation fighting Volker did. Reagan was also an excellent communicator. Hard to campaign against a guy like him.

I've worked for 6 different employers in my life, Ive also employed people.

100% of my experience is that its rare for someone to ping me out of work hours, and if they do, I completely understand that its an emergency. Since I also care about the company's well being, (that's where I get my paycheck from), Im happy to help.

In 20 years as an employee or employer this has happened maybe 5 times.

I don't know where people are working that this is even an issue, but if at all possible consider switching jobs because youre working with sociopaths.

32 is too low, employers are going to leave California even more if this is approved.
This! 40 hours workweek with mandatory overtime pay (usually double per hour) with a minimum duration. Reducing the workweek below that would be considered unnecessary government intervention and is liable to be bad for business and workers. No one wants a pay cut that goes with it.
Your body is surprisingly good at feeling how it expects to. If you expect to feel refreshed, you might. Learning how to control your expectations to suit your goals is a bit of a superpower, but it's one you learn by practicing it, not by talking about it on the Internet.
"many engineers probably would not consider it a proper engineering discipline to begin with."

Calling software engineering "engineering" is perhaps the most blatant uses of describing a thing by it's exact opposite. Like calling hate love, or war piece. (Which sometimes is done, but mainly for propaganda purposes - for the intent of obfuscation.)

Software engineering is much closer to a craft than anything capable of teaching or predicting anything successfully. The best analogue that comes to my mind are the craftsmen who built cathedrals in medieval Europe. Yes, they built things. But they did not understand with scientific rigor, what and why are they doing it. They did not have proper theory, so they could have built something completely different.

You can learn the activity known as software engineering. For most individuals, the best way is from an informal apprenticeship by working with talented colleagues. Again, this is closer to art or a craft than engineering.

You can learn the basics in structured setting. But based on the stories of long winded recruiting interviews, nobody actually trusts any of that, or at least they don't trust the accreditation mechanism. Which implies you can pass a degree, but only accidentally learn the skills the industry expects a great candidate to have.

Something is institutionally broken here. Imagine if medicine worked this way. Are doctors whiteboarded over complex surgeries before being hired?

I would consider the work done by NASA's software engineering laboratory one of the things closest to "proper engineering" done in the field of software http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/SoftEng/ESEG/papers/83.88.pdf

Is there anything similar currently operating?
Eh whether government should have the right to do this takes a backseat to the fact that the government is the only way we can do this.

The government is the only coordinating mechanism we have to enforce something like this, otherwise everyone is playing the prisoner’s dilemma.
What's the business model? A "traditional finance" version of this would likely be aiming to get lots of transactions it could extract a couple basis points out of, but that seems impossible with a p2p architecture.

I think about this for another country (islands type), it would be beautiful but also I would lose the things here in the US I take for granted. Don't have to worry about having parasites from food. My 1 day Amazon shipping (sorry I'm thinking more electronics sourcing eg. Digikey). The other thing too is software is not valued there...you make the same amount or less in construction which is interesting unless it's work coming externally from another country. Also the risk of less police... I have this fear if I go there I won't be able to return to the US ha. If you had online income (passive) that would be nice. I knew a person that lived on a boat/had weapons, street smart kind of person unlike me.
Again, I'm not harvesting data. I'm attempting to make the most information from access_log possible. I include not tracking pixels, no 3rd party analytics, no fingerprinting, no anything other than just getting information about what pages were loaded. It would be nice to know that all of the traffic from a specific IP is a prolific user or several users from a VPN/shared access location. I don't care who/what you are.

Everyone jumps to the conclusion that just because someone is parsing a log means <evil> and that is not necessarily always true. Some of us want to respect user privacy but at least have a general idea of the number of people visiting a site.
I don’t see why that matters
Been thinking about this problem for a long time. I use python/jupyterhub notebooks for our data analysis flows at work. I’ve become an expert at it and am a go-to person in our org… but even still when I have to try something new on “small” amounts of data, I _still_ go to excel first. It’s barrier to get the results you want os extremely low - thus-far unparalleled by any other software I’ve used in the last 20 years… and I have a hard time seeing anything that would replace that (though maybe I am just set in my ways…)
One of my first introductions to the fact that GNU getopt is much different from BSD/UNIX getopt was running `rm * -i` on Solaris. Instead of prompting me for which files to delete, it removed all of my files and then printed an error about failing to remove the non existent file "-i".
As with all these initiatives, I salute them and morally support their development. However how do I go installing it and start using it right away like very other piece of software I use? If I, a tech savvy guy, can't do it, then how do I even tell my normie friends how to use it?
Not sure what the current work week is (assuming 40?).

Does anyone actually "work" close to that amount? I've got mine down to about 8 hours with an additional 8 of meetings where i sit on mute and contribute nothing.
I like Apple Pay support in Safari, and use it wherever it's available.

I'm not a fan of cryptocurrencies by any measure, but I can understand why people would like that.
Around a year ago, just before turning 40, I started a 5 day a week body weight / calisthenics-type exercise routine, and in December I started learning how to skateboard (mostly transition / ramps, not flip tricks).

Skateboarding isn't without fairly regular minor (so far anyway) injuries, but both have been really great ways to disconnect after work.

Skateboarding, especially, is one of the more humbling endeavors I've taken on. It's hard, there's no faking it, and work is the last thing on my mind while I'm doing it.

Exercising is great too but, sometimes, I still find myself glancing at work stuff on my smart watch or phone in between exercises.

Good luck finding your "thing(s)"!

Obviously these things are subjective, but I heard no resemblance at all. in that video. Until the second song played I had no idea what it was going to be, even though it was a hit when I was young and I know it well.
The proposal isn't a paycut right? As written employees keep the same pay but work 32 hours instead of 40.
The issues are deeper than a question of virality.

> Can I apply a Creative Commons license to software?

> We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses listed as free by the Free Software Foundation and listed as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative.

> Unlike software-specific licenses, CC licenses do not contain specific terms about the distribution of source code, which is often important to ensuring the free reuse and modifiability of software. Many software licenses also address patent rights, which are important to software but may not be applicable to other copyrightable works. Additionally, our licenses are currently not compatible with the major software licenses, so it would be difficult to integrate CC-licensed work with other free software. Existing software licenses were designed specifically for use with software and offer a similar set of rights to the Creative Commons licenses.

Nobody who buys one cares. The people who make them care because spending 20 hour more time means spending a lot more money for the same return.

I just assumed that Google has brackets of 10 - 100 - 1000 - 10000 and so on, which led me to the "but below 100,000,000+ users" part. Not sure why they are hiding the true count (maybe they don't have exact numbers themselves), but if there truly is that many users, not sure why they wouldn't show it.

> and that's ignoring the >50% of Chrome users on mobile which requires non-extension based blocking.

That might be true for Chrome users on Android, but Chrome users on iOS (which aren't as many as Android users although), there isn't a choice of any extension nor non-extension based blocking. Firefox on iOS doesn't even allow extensions, and only Safari seems to have ad-blocking. At least last time I checked, might have changed lately.
I was in a union as a PhD student. The union did nonsense things like running a (bad) cafe. My pay was set by my funders so the union didn’t have any say on that or any leverage on anything else at all really. Wasn’t sure what the point was. I just opted out after a while. I don’t think they added anything of value whatsoever.
> It's not a "requirement" but monetizing content is a really hard problem that hasn't been solved real well.

It’s not a “really hard problem” - cryptocurrency is a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist.
This is wild. Knowing the budget was a "license to steal".

> The cost of developing the Commodore 64: No one knows. “I had no formal budget accountability,” said Winterble, “other than Jack [Tramiel] watching me. Jack said that budgets were a license to steal.”

They also had more margin in their process which is always good. Process is so tuned today that innovations are missed because there is no room to play.

> Because MOS Technology’s fabrication facility was not running at full capacity, the equipment used for C-64 test chips and multiple passes of silicon would otherwise have been idle. “We were using people who were there anyway,” said Ziembicki. “You waste a little bit of silicon, but silicon’s pretty cheap. It’s only sand.”

Silicon back then was like bandwidth or storage today, those are cheap and can be used to innovate on but tightened later.

> Although custom chips are usually considered expensive, the C-64 chips were not. Not only were development costs absorbed in company overhead, but there was no markup to pay, as there would have been if the chips had been built by another company. And yields were high because the chips were designed for a mature semiconductor-manufacturing process.

C64 having access to in house chips was key in building what they needed and quality levels they needed.

> “It was a lot of fun,” said Ziembicki. “The design people would pick an English screw. The production end would pick metric. But they went with what they had. Commodore production was very good at making things fit whether they were intended to or not. Their charter was 'Ship ‘em’”

Good product people, designers and engineers hold back until quality levels are acceptable.

> “It takes a very tough person,” explained Charpentier, “to say ‘I’m not shipping these because they’re not as good as they could be’—especially when people are clamoring to buy them.”
The market of affordable apartments is shocked. In the luxury segment you'll find easily.
A worse variant of this is when people use a name that their listeners wouldn't, e.g. using "Mom"/"Dad" with a non-sibling instead of "my mom"/"my dad", as in: "Dad is in the hospital." Seems weirdly self-centered to use a name that your listener wouldn't use when addressing the same person.
People would keep the same pay for fewer hours and companies would be lucky if that's all it is.

Keep in mind that wages and salaries have been largely stagnant for decades. Companies and corporations owe their workers a hell of a lot more than "same pay at fewer hours" by now.
I guess you work in IT like 90% of the people here. For those (and me) fixed working hours are non existent. But if you work in a factory , shop etc like 90% of the other people then a 32 hour work week would very much help getting a happier life.
Maybe this won't work in the US. But in Europe I think it certainly does.
Plus the gap between a spreadsheet and an application can be huge in a large organization. No one needs a permit-to-build process or ci/cd pipeline to start a new spreadsheet and make changes to it.

American voters are very unforgiving to bad economies and bad foreign policy outcomes. Carter was the victim of both, and Reagan was a formidable candidate.
