> Kind of makes me wonder if anyone actually bothers to read what they are signing.

Generally, no. Everyone always expresses real surprise when I actually read a contract before signing. Usually, I just end up signing because there's not often room for negotiation, and I want to do the thing that requires the contract, and whatever, but I'd rather know. I've gotten some contracts changed, but often it's not worth the effort, IMHO.

Don't forget that you must replace the solder balls on desoldered chips with a stencil. Your new bga chip should come with solder balls though.
They have to sign the rider as well. Have a signature block on it. Also, in the signature block on the main contract, hand write in something like "agreed, as modified by the rider." That way you've made it clear that you haven't agreed to the main contract alone.

You obviously can't do this if everything is electronic. You've got to reject electronic-only contracts outright.
There are plenty of "non-white" kind of people in the midwest. Jeeze the racist stereotypes of the midwest is laughable

France is an ethnostate. It’s a country where the whole history and culture is intertwined with that of a single Germanic tribe. A Muslim immigrant to France will never be French in the same way a French immigrant to Bangladesh will never be Bangladeshi. Whatever welcome Muslim immigrants enjoy in France therefore depends on the sympathetic feelings of people who embrace immigration or multiculturalism for ideological reasons. That’s a thin shell on which to build a life.

`All good points. My own sense is that if your carry isn't too big (you are not feeling a ton of pressure to maintain a pretty big funding line) life is better all around?`

Absolutely. The standard in my field is somewhere between a 50% and 100% soft money position. Mine is only 25%, and while I could probably fish around for a position at a more prestigious university, it's a big boost to my ability to go "Yeah, that seems neat, lets do it" and thus a major quality of life boost.

`UC Berkeley I think is going to be 60%+ indirect rate for 22-23 as a local point of reference - I don't work there though.`

This is not how you calculate indirect rates.

Indirect rates are a percentage of your direct rates. If X is the money you get for your lab (i.e. direct costs) and the indirect rate is 60%, then the actual calculation is 1.6X = 400,000, so X = $250,000.

If you want to point a finger at the thing that's probably the most harmful to the funding of science, it's not indirect rates. IMO, it's that the NIH budget cap for a modular R01 was set at $250,000 in direct costs in *1999* and has never moved from that.
I thought you were going to let me have the last word. ;)

> someone who thinks "my argument doesn't have any merit" (and who doesn't think that's insulting)

You forgot the yet. No, it's not nitpicking. Without it, it would be a mere judgmental sentence and it would make sense if you felt dismissed. With it, it is a sign that I am trying to reach for a point of agreement or an understanding.

You are claiming I am the one "biting and nitpicking on everything", but you also could've given a much more charitable interpretation to this, much like you could have done it for the last 6-7 exchanges we had.

And sorry, but I really don't see what is "insulting" about it. Well, at least I don't see how this is insulting if we are to have a rational conversation. This would be insulting only for those who'd be tying their self-image to any of the things being discussed.

> Honestly, hand on your heart, do you believe your responses were made in the best possible tone and were the best way to conduct an honest conversation?

Yes...?

Maybe I am relying too much on the Socratic method, but my questions were mostly to dig in for Truth, not to grieve you. But given the way that old man died, perhaps I should try a different path to not end on the same way as he did.
It's not like you have to pay yourself $200 for repairing / upgrading your device.
But this is quite rewarding and worth spending time on just for the feeling that you fixed something. Certainly I would prefer this than spending an hour watching Netflix.

> will raise deposit rates to attract deposits if they constantly find that they need to go to the interbank market to balance their books because it is cheaper

This is true for the largest banks. For many smaller banks, interbank lending is cheaper than deposits. Particularly if those deposits must come from new customers.

Your model is roughly correct over long, strategic time periods. But in tactical timeframes, deposits are assumed fixed or lightly. (In fact, the post-97 role of money centre banks has been to attract deposits to then lend to smaller banks.)
Leaving your support network while already struggling means that things like free childcare from family now needs to be made up for with professional childcare, career prospects can be lower without your professional network, and should you fall on hard times, like being laid off, divorced or getting sick/injured, you can end up in a much deeper hole than you would in place with a support network that can help you get back on your feet.
I assume they were referring to the blitz in WW2, where the RAF defended Britain from Nazi bombing runs.
The hook strategy works great in the beginning of a career.

My experience later on is once you want Director or VP level roles at a noteworthy company, prospective employers are only keen to hire you at whatever level you've actually achieved. The jump from Senior Engineer to Tech Lead is orders of magnitude easier, totally doable by bailing to the next gig.

I've settled on the following word list to determine if 20 of 26 characters are present within 4 guesses:

thank
fuels
crowd
gimpy

If there are fewer than 5 letters present, "bevvy" will eliminate another two ('b' and 'v'), leaving j, q, x, and z as the remaining possible characters. These occur rarely (though "pizza", "bijou", and "vixen" can be challenging targets. More usually, it's words with either doubled characters, such as "onion" or "lalai", or those which have viable anagrams ("spams" and "spasm", "donor" and "rondo") that will throw me.
"Leading-edge" would be more exact description of Fedora. They are somewhere in between bleeding-edge distributions and stable distributions (like Debian).

>True but not $5939 per meter nicer,

That is the problem I am pointing out, that is totally relative to how much money you have. After a certain point the actually nice stuff you can buy runs out and you are left going for slightly nicer looking audio cables.
A commune in isolation can not protect itself. Another more aggressive group will overtake them given time. That's why I don't believe that end-goal communism or anarchism could ever work (where the former is contrary to many people's idea, is about small communes, not some Big Government). But with a necessarily strong government it is absolutely not impossible to scale a small commune to a whole country. Pair it with the best kind of democracy (as that is an entirely different axis) we have and I also on the opinion that many of today's problems could be solved.

But even in today's capitalist system UBI could be implemented relatively easily paid for by tax money.

Be deliberate and have fun. And always know that you will sober up. you are on drugs — you aren’t crazy — you will be fine — you didn’t break your brain.
My hard-won experience on this matter is: If an employer/client tries to pressure you to "c'mon, just sign it, it doesn't really mean that / isn't enforceable anyway" -- especially when the contract unambiguously does really mean what they say it doesn't really mean ...

From that fact the transaction is pretty much destined to not be particularly fruitful anyway, and (unless you're short on cash or otherwise in some kind of a corner), you're best cutting your losses and moving on.
Here's what FDR said about the minimum wage:

Absolute income (whether measured in dollars or purchasing power) means very little when compared across time periods or countries. Poverty has never been about your absolute buying power. It is relative to the society you exist in. You will find, by any objective measure, that the wealth disparity in the US is nearly as high as it has ever been (only exceeded by the Great Depression). These same objective measures will consistently score the US as worse than many developing countries.

You will find across many eras and cultures in the last two millennia that the poorest members of the society are the most vulnerable members of society and the most likely to be punished for committing crimes. If you still don't believe me, read this paper for an in-depth analysis that controls for many factors: https://web.worldbank.org/archive/website01241/WEB/IMAGES/IN...

Laws are made by those with power. In today's society, power comes in large part from wealth - that's the foundation of capitalism. The objective of capitalism is to accrue capital, and our laws and police system are set up to protect the wealthy and their wealth.

That's why graffiti is punishable by ten years in prison. Stealing a week's worth of groceries can mean years in prison. In contrast, the penalty for illegally evicting a renter, rendering them homeless, is about two or three months rent, and no prison time.
It does not. The stated goal was “disrupt the nuclear family requirement.” Very different than “dismantle the nuclear family structure.”
> "Why is the author ignoring the change in conditions that led to that change in expectations?"

Because recreating the economic conditions of the '50s-'90s would require repeating the global devastation of industry and commerce of World War 2 but with the US (again) untouched along with reduction of emerging economies back to the backward state they were in then. Anytime one sees people asking why America can't just bring back to that golden (for the US) era, this should be pointed out in no uncertain terms. There is no way to put the genie back in the bottle.

The post I was responding to was attempting to use an empirical study to support a given sociological position for a given group (which from reading the study didn't actually support that position).

Now you are responding to me and saying empiricism cannot be used to support the given sociological position. Did you mean to respond to the poster I was responding to? I did not put forth that study in this thread.

Even given all of that, I strongly disagree with the anti-empiricism notion for this topic and any other related one.

On sample sizes being an issue:

-The US has 330 million people.

-There are 130 million households in the US.

-There are 74 million children in the US.

-35% of children have lived with a relative (i.e. non-nuclear) other than their parent or sibling at some point by age 18 (source: umich link the previous poster posted)

-And when you look beyond the US, the world has a population of 7 billion people

-Needless to say, we don't have a dearth of data to lean on to answer questions such as these

-There's also such a thing called statistical significance, which can be used to display the confidence of a result given the sample size. Studies usually use p=0.05

On the idea that non-majority populations/lifestyles automatically means guaranteed worse outcomes, I do not agree that's a given, and don't accept that it must be the case here. I have seen no causal chain presented yet (that also accounts for the available evidence). A couple counter-examples:

-Non-overweight people are the minority in the US, but their outcomes are much better, even though there are norms around larger/higher caloric meals in the US

-Same-sex couples, a minority, have higher household income than heterosexual couples

Do not misread the above examples as saying there's no discrimination going one way or the other or there being no confounding factors. They are showing that living a minority lifestyle does NOT guarantee worse outcomes. And we shouldn't assume that's the case without evidence for other things.

But the argument is that Bangladeshi villages are more peaceful than American inner cities, despite being vastly poorer, because of cultural reasons. It’s almost as if America has a more traditional culture in the past—when it was poorer than today—and then there were massive cultural changes around the same time crime started skyrocketing.
Not necessary previous. In Europe (generally speaking) you get the same health coverage whether you have worked one day or 40 years.

There may be better coverage in some companies that go above the national standard, though. But again, it will not be a matter of accumulated years.
It's because those countries don't protect themselves from foreign predatory selling. Developed countries have all sorts of restrictions on what their own citizens can import, what can be sold locally, even what free gifts they can accept, to prevent prevent that sort of exploitation. But the common feature of poor countries is that they're bad at self-governing, so they're kind of at the mercy of everyone else. What can other people do about that? Regime change? That's been tried a lot and doesn't work.

I know this sounds cold, but blaming what foreigners do on them is kind of fruitless. There are so many of them waiting to exploit anyone. It's like blaming foreign hackers for hacking your computers or even blaming the weather for blowing down your fence. Yes, it's technically their fault, but you're never going to eliminate those outside forces so you'd better improve your own security.

Not sure why you singled out the ethnicity of the people in those foreign countries since China does it too now.

>If you get semaphores from create_sem() you will need to give them back...

I don't quite get the continued argument - the created locks in the user space have 'zero' extra dependency on the kernel. In a GC setup they would be an object no different than a mere string (likely less memory as well). They can be GC'd at any time as long as there are no references to them.

If you wish to see an example: java.util.concurrent package. ReentrantLock[0] is a classic lock, and there is even a Semaphore in the same package (technically not in the very same). Originated in 2004 with JMM and the availability of CAS. You can create as many as you choose - no kernel mode switch would occur.

For the record I do no object that proper resource managed is needed - incl. sqldatabase close. The latter does use a file descriptor any time you establish a connection. However, locks need no special support from the kernel. Also in GC'd setup file descriptors would be GC'd in pre (or post) morterm via some finalization mechanism, however relying on the GC to perform resource management is a terrible practice.

Good point on indirect rates - I was being too quick there. Salary costs can be lower because you have to layer on fringe as well (which can be a separate pool or just a direct calc). So salary * 1.X (fringe) * 1.Y (indirect) = total award?

Can somebody point me towards the entrance to whatever rabbit hole explains why thermal information is not information? I must be missing something.

You can set up a torsion balance and extract a bitstream from the way it dances in a warm gas, and each of those bits fits, albeit with some creativity, into Shannon's definition of information: Once the balance jiggles in a 1-like way, you can exclude the universes where it would've jiggled in a 0-like way from your list, thus reducing the set of candidate universes by half: one bit.

Maybe we can't reconstruct the words on the book that fell into the hole without an impossible-to-achieve perspective, but that doesn't mean it's not the same amount of information. Does it?
