The thing I specifically wanted to highlight (which I think most readers missed) was that not receiving a raise is equivalent to receiving a pay cut unless we're riding at 0% inflation. Every year costs go up for employees and keeping them pegged at the same salary prevents them from being able to cover those costs as efficiently.

I've seen workers pidgeon-holed into low stagnant wages too often to accept it as a status quo when the companies employing them are posting profits - in the modern world we too quickly accept the fact that owners are supposed to take out lion's share salaries and profits need to continuously increase. A business can have a healthy existence just making the economic wheels spin and ensuring that employees are well compensated.

Thanks for the advice. I had an internship at medium-sized manufacturer in California, above SF a bit. Was really cool to be next to a bunch of CNC machines while writing some code. I think I’ll try to find that vibe again sometime.
A definition doesn't change: The prime numbers or Turing Machines are the same set regardless of who Putin invades next or what law Biden decides to veto.

But the set of inputs that an oracle implicitly defines, could change if the oracle changes. And you could change your mind or die tomorrow.

So you would need a very large number of definitions of bread, indexed by (time, person). Any one of them could be a valid definition - it's theoretically possible to make you look at 1000 pictures of bread so your brain is encouraged to make a bread-detector neuron, and then scan your brain and calculate its response on any input - but you don't know which one is correct to use for any purpose.

i.e. If I want to start a bakery, should I use your current bread-oracle to define "marketable bread", your bread-oracle as of 5 years ago, should I take a statistical ensemble of brain scans from millions of people, or should I use my own?

It seems like just having a function that returns true on some inputs and false on others doesn't tell you much, whereas traditional mathematical definitions have strict relations to other things.
It looks like Google's Perforce/Piper, I think that would be a better comparision than Git, but I don't see any data on how the two compares. Anyways, Eden being open source is a great advantage already.
That's me. I find it hard to internalize the reality that I need to live like a poor college student just to make ends meet in silicon valley, as a software engineer.
A SCM like https://pijul.org/ would be a challenge to git. Eden is more a challenge for things like perforce.
"but the "pseudonymous artists" bit seems like a pointless distraction."

I think what matters here is motive. RDJ used/s pseudonyms to suit an artistic purpose not unlike what Fernando Pessoa did with his heteronyms in literature a century ago.

What's happening here looks less like artistic license and more like marketecture designed to game DSPs for streams.
Thanks!

> Seems like you may have more than one goal, as moving to another country is a different matter than just wanting to learn a language

It's something that I would like to do at some point in my life, but I don't hurry about it. English will be needed for sure, but also other languages. The difference between English and for example German is that I will not mind if I'm talking with a person and I use the wrong verb tense, but I don't want to use the wrong verb tense in a professional context. This is what I want to express with fluency.
I don't get it, CNN+ looks exactly the opposite of what we need as a country. I looked at their show offerings[0] and 75% of them looked like true crime dramas. If I wanted a news source that would make me live in perpetual fear I'd go to Fox. Thinking there's a gunman around every corner is what we used to make fun of Fox viewers for (and their need to carry a weapon to respond to said gunman). Maybe it's just me, but this is the exact opposite direction CNN or any news should go. News isn't for entertainment and it shouldn't ever be. And I'm pretty sure a lot of us have been fed up with the attempts to make it so.

>I'm not so sure about it. Did you listen to the interview of Lex Fridman with Brett Johnson?

I did. Excellent, captivating interview, but he repeatedly acknowledged he didn't know much about the tech stuff, and he said several incorrect technical things towards the end. I stand by my statement: I think it would've been difficult for him to get a (technical) infosec job at the time of his arrest, or now (assuming a world where he didn't have a criminal record). While listening to it, I actually thought he perfectly fit the archetype of cybercrime forum operators I'm used to coming across.

He's certainly a great social engineer, and many other technically unskilled people in the cybercrime space also are. I'm definitely not discounting that ability. A lot of it comes down to brazenness; e.g. being confident and shameless enough to impersonate a law enforcement officer over the phone. There's still a lot of skill involved in being a con artist even then - you need affability and the gift of gab and all that - but it's not necessarily the kind of skill that's transferrable to technical expertise. There are many people with expertise in both areas, but also many who are exclusive to one.

It's not any more than that minor inconvenience. Also, you only need to thaw the account with the credit bureau your lender (or whomever) uses, so you just need to ask if they use Experian, TU, or Equifax.
Depends how they are talking out of their arse, are they open to new ideas? The other side, is the dialog more to put them in their place, or more to illuminate the depths of their arse?

The bad faith is more about how the communication is done and the end goals
I've found that 100/100 people just get offended and/or pissed and retreat to their amygdala if you point out a fallacy in their logic. It certainly doesn't help that many people pointing out logical fallacies are in fact wrong (and fallacious) themselves (the "you're using a slippery slope fallacy" for example is fallaciously used all over the place).

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that good faith engagement is essentially impossible. The only reason I engage at all anymore is for the third party that might be an honest seeker who may stumble upon the thread at some point in the future.
Okay, and in exchange for that, I've gained single-command deployments of containers that already include all the dependencies their applications require, and at most I only have to think about that when I'm writing a deployment script or doing an update audit.

It's rare that I need to find out de novo where a given path in a container is mapped on the host. When I do need to do that, I can usually check a deployment script, or failing that inspect the container directly and see what volume mounts it has.

I don't need to worry about finding paths very often - much less frequently than I need to think about deployments, which at absolute minimum is once per project.

So, sure, by using Docker I've introduced a little new complexity, that's true. But you overlook that this choice does not exist in a vacuum, and that that added complexity is more than offset by the reduction of complexity in tasks I face much more often than the one you describe.

And that's just me! These days I have a whole team of engineers on whose behalf, as a tech lead, I share responsibility for maintaining and improving developer experience. Do you think I'd do them more of a favor by demanding they all comprehend a hundred-line sui generis shell script for deployments, or by saying "here's a single command that works in exactly the same way everyone you'll work with in the next ten years does it, and if it breaks there's fifty people here who all know how to help you fix it"?

Haitian here. I basically had no face to face interaction with English native speaker. What I do is immersing. I only read English book, set up all my accounts in English, consume English youtube video, and write in English - docs and the like.

Could be worse, could not. Maintaining two households is costly and could lead to imprisonment of one parent if they can't keep up with paying child support an imputed income a judge assigns to them. Were I to fall out of love with my wife I would be very much tempted not to divorce and instead maintain an amiable platonic relationship until my child is gone.

I'm not sure which is worse, two parents who don't love each other, or two parent who don't love each other and are in separate households with one under constant stress of possible imprisonment if they lose their job.

This is true when there is uncertainty. It also doesn't connect to "I only hire people who think like I do", which is the context of my response, so I don't follow your point.

Agreed on your other point that you need to instrument endogeneity. Another requirement is plausibility. Hookworm presence in Greenland should be uncorrelated to solar sunspots.

I'm often frustrated by no clear OAuth-like system for non general auth. Ie you have a server and a clientside JS app. How do you secure it? Cookies are the obvious thing to reach for, but in general i was never clear on exactly what the options are. What are pros and cons of various types of implementations? What are the do's and don'ts? And even if i use something i often felt i was implementing all of it (due to obscure languages choices frequently), but the specifics of the impl were often difficult to find.

It's embarrassing to say but auth has always confused me. And of course managers always instantly say "Just use OAuth" -_-

I don't think it is possible to put any hard figures on this. I'm from NL, and the wealth here is absolutely off the scale for a country which barely exists to begin with and which has, other than a bit of natural gas, no resources.

Of course the Dutch mantra is that we got here by hard work and trade, but the reality is that we got our headstart with piracy, slavery and colonies that we robbed blind and then when things didn't go our way tried to rule by genocide.

Needless to say that isn't a popular opinion and it isn't exactly part of the Dutch history curriculum in grade school, but it is the unvarnished truth. Does that motivate me to give what I've earned to others? No. Do I believe that we collectively should do everything we can to right this wrong? Yes, absolutely. So there is a substantial chunk of hypocrisy involved, I can't personally associate myself with any of this but I can easily see how collectively we've all benefited.

Interesting comment on Krebs' article... Probably a joke, but doesn't imply great intelligence among the people involved with RaidForums if not.
Depending on your geography, local angel groups can be a good place to start as they will provide a pipeline of local startups and you'd have the opportunity to connect with other investors looking at a similar stage.

As several have mentioned, co-working spaces or pitch events can also be a place to find deal flow. Oftentimes you'll find less experienced entrepreneurs with less formed ideas at these events. As an investor this presents a great opportunity to provide value beyond capital, but may also raise concerns as to the entrepreneur's capabilities.

My greatest finds to date have come when I'm looking in a specific industry or at a specific problem statement. I'm a bit later stage than what you're looking for (Series A - small Series C), so I look for companies with a website (so they can actually reach customers) and search for news releases or any PR they've done. At that point its pretty easy to have an intro conversation and determine whether or not it's something worth pursuing.

Regardless, it takes a lot of conversations to find the right investment candidates.
Carbon tax + carbon dividend is actually both, which is nice. If you find ways to drive less, your income net taxes and transfers goes up!

If that increases rents near public transit, so be it. Japan style land speculation transit financing just got more effective.

Consider your perspective if you’re unhappy coming in last in the same competition where these folks succeed. If these people are “winning”, do you really want to win?

The author seems to get mixed up in the process of legitimization. There is both no reason a Grammy should legitimize an artist nor why someone should want to delegate the process of legitimization to The Recording Academy. It simply isn't a useful ontology. Ontologies should provide epistemic clarity. Instead the author is left with confusion. The solution is simple: find a new ontology.

Paywalled news apps and websites have a real problem attracting and retaining subscribers. My local news website forces you to talk to a human to cancel, and they will cut rates to the bone to keep customers. NYT does this as well, although it's an easier sell because the articles and special features are such high quality and they have really figured out the hooks and cross-sells (Cooking, Wirecutter, games, etc.)

In terms of video, many well financed companies have tried to make it work and struggled, whether it's niche audiences, drama, talk, news, or whatever. From what I understand, Bloomberg TV survives only because of revenue from their terminal business. As someone else pointed out, with so many free alternatives for international news and political talk, what's the attraction of CNN+ to potential subs?
There is File:Copy to create unrelated copies.
Not really. The firmware is basically protecting itself - the closed source firmware contains proprietary image processing code (ISP) for the camera which Pi Trading paid for, so it's only supposed be used with the Pi Camera.

A complete open source re-implementation would either not support ISP, or would include a non-proprietary version of the same or similar code, at which point they shouldn't care.

>Legitimite employment might not give them the needed liberty to do what they see fit.

That's true; that's why I tried to qualify it with "generally". There certainly are some very intelligent, skilled people who are capable of finding legitimate employment and instead choose to immerse themselves in the criminal underworld, for various personal reasons. In practice, though, I've found them to be pretty rare.

Even among the ones who do have a desire for ultimate liberty and who see themselves as above the law, most feel like the risks greatly outweigh the rewards. Some temporary liberty in exchange for likely many years of zero liberty in a prison cell isn't a great deal. Especially when it's so easy for them to get a comfortable, high-paying legitimate job. (Admittedly, this trade-off may differ in places outside the US, where good jobs may be scarce and criminal activity may pay very well and almost always go unpunished. Assuming one has no ethical compunction, at least. Or feels certain illegal actions are ethically justifiable, like how many hacktivists feel.)
Amazon workers made up almost half of all warehouse injuries last year
Mainstream news is basically dead. It's all for entertainment and ad revenue. There are very few journalist of any sort of integrity that exist on any of these networks.

They'll be eaten by the younger upstarts that actually care to report on news and write real journalism. And then the cycle begins again (look at Vice).
It would sure be something if Amazon went from one of the worst places to work, to one of the best through the creation of unions. If they can do this, then I think it will be held up as an example for other people to unionize. I'm rooting for them
Harder state aid and counseling*

The issue is that if it takes you ten to twenty hours a week to get your state aid, you cannot put those hour towards a "productive" behavior (looking for a job/for a formation). And worse, sometime state aid is linked to formation. Its usually quite okay, almost good, for ten years, and then the regulatory capture and the market consolidation make the formation business both profitable for the owners AND worthless for the attendants. Until the state break the oligopolies (or tries too) and then it reverts to okay for five to ten years. If you get lucky, you fall into the few years where the formation is good, if not, you can only pray you have familly support, or off yourself/drink yourself to death.

My mother if forming caretaker/home helpers/nurse assistants (don't really know the real translation) since 2007 in France, and saw the degradation of the formation level, then the quick shake up in 2015 when our president re-liberalized this market, then the fast drop off with the market consolidation (Covid only made the consolidation quicker and definitely did not help).

If you were formed in 2007-2010 or between 2016-2018, you probably had an okay-ish formation (although the formation was way more complete and included way more advanced knowledge in 2007, especially in nutrition, technical gestures and hygiene than it did in 2016.)

Half of my mother students in 2007 and 2008 became nurses by the way. It did diminish to one third in 2009 and 2010, and since then i think she had two girls becoming nurses. I know it is a conspiracy theory, but it really feel for her that this is a wish of our governments to have less capable caretakers and keep the ration caretaker/nurse as high as possible, since nurses expect to be paid at least three time as much.
