IMO that's the only reason for employers to offer "unlimited PTO" schemes.

A lot of companies also have continual headaches about requests for unused time to roll over into the next fiscal year. So not only is the accrual a problem in regards to terminated employees but it's a debt on the books that has to be tracked and serviced.

My fun story about that is the large company I worked for a couple of decades ago - they still had a policy that allowed you to bank up to a year's worth of vacation time. After a few employees decided to retire a year early by taking a 52-week vacation and then retiring, the whole policy was trashed.

Imagine having a coworker retire and you can't fill the headcount for an entire year because they're still an active employee.
I think you're right and agree that it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I have seen the meme going around about Boomers choosing to spend all their wealth on vacations of luxury cars and leaving their kids almost nothing, but I personally haven't seen this in my own sphere, and it seems mostly like a campfire scary story for Millennials. My own parents refer to their wealth as if it is my money that they are stewarding for me, despite me not actually needing it.
My job specifically? Experience with microcontroller programming, as well as software development in general. Familiarity with linux. It helps to have a decent understanding of physics and mathematics. I myself studied computer science in school, and I think that foundation helps me to write more elegant solutions to certain problems than I would know how to do otherwise.

I seem to be pretty good at drilling down into complex problems and finding relatively simple solutions. I am also pretty good at pushing back on things when they don't pass my smell test, and am willing to crack eggs as needed. Those are skills I practiced quite a bit in my solar car racing days. It's the sort of thing that many engineers struggle with, and are often afraid to do. In a good organization, though, it's the sort of behavior that others respect and appreciate. It helps to have an optimistic, easy going attitude.
I've heard this called "snapshot testing"

Ah, and therefore humans are indistinguishable from magic.
Thank you for the advice. Addressing the first part, yes, we are aiming at large tech companies. This is mostly because we need companies that actually need to hire large numbers of people since groups of 4 > individuals.

Of couse we thought about addressing senior engineers as well, much like Stripe's original hiring program, but we determined that there were too many problems regarding that for now.

To any team of students considering applying for this, please let me suggest an alternative:

Don't waste your time working for the kind of company that would choose to hire through such a program.

Instead, build something together that you think would make a positive difference in the world.

Don't squander your lives selling advertisements or developing weapons or "increasing the efficiency of the markets". Don't sell out. Do something meaningful, damn it.

What really grates at people’s nerves?

Uncertainty. Not knowing when you will end up testing positive and be whisked off by one of the commissar’s white costumed goon squads in the middle of the night. If you don’t agree, that’s when they typically come, like the NKVD secret police back in the Soviet Union. And not knowing what will happen to your children, your elderly parents and your pets if / when that day comes.

is that not what they basically say? Most large companies will tell you to read a an algorithms book and give hints as to what questions they ask.
My guess is because things like that don't make any or much direct revenue, so they aren't going to get senior executives to want to take ownership and champion the thing.

If you take away “universities where everyone wants to hire from but very few can”, I am personally dubious of what else there is left.

Also you might want to look to understand what went wrong at Triplebyte which wanted to provide a one interview-only experience for experienced candidates but it never worked. Companies still did their interviews. The company also had to pivot their business model from this and explained in detail why they did it [1]

Triplebyte was targeting a very valuable and hard-to-hire group of experienced engineers. You are targeting the easiest to hire group. Consider what will make you succeed as a business where Triplebyte could not, even though they solved for a much bigger pain point for hiring managers.

For the vast majority of players, this simply isn't true. Even for the top players in the world, it's only sometimes true when they are playing with the black pieces, or a win doesn't do anything for their standing in the tournament.

I can promise you, no matter what he does, people/sites you follow will likely extol how terrible the platform has gotten with disinformation/hate speech, even if he does nothing. How will you protect against that negativity bias? Do you have an objective way to know whether it's gotten worse or not, or are you going to rely on anecdotes from the sources you follow?

> Do not take psychedelics lightly, especially ayahuasca and heroic doses.

In my experience with various psychedelics, the intensity of the experience is purely a function of dosage, and not of the specific substance. Heroic doses with psilocybin, LSD, and DMT, are all very serious and challenging, and I don't think there's a singling out of any specific type. Could I be mistaken?

I used to suffer from depression many years ago too, but I have grown through it. Low doses of psychedelics are the best thing on occasion, and DMT/ayahuasca is by far my favorite. Usually a couple times per year, I like to make a Mimosa hostilis and B. caapi brew with the plant equivalent of ~15 mg of DMT. It's a low dose (the Cubensis equivelant of ~1.5 grams), but the experience is incredibly therapeutic, healing, and educational. Minimal anxiety, and no psychosis of any sort. And I've always come away from it with such an intense love and appreciation for life that I can take with me everywhere.

If my experience is anything to go by, I think the experiences of low doses of ayahuasca are incredibly valuable and safe, and I only hesitate to suggest it to others because I'm not sure if my experience is unique.

I never liked chocolates. Then about 4-5 years back (then late 40s for me), I started eating, and then for the next 2-3 years, I could never resist having a chocolate. Then after some effort from my side, I stopped and now I do not feel as tempted, but I remember the days.
Thich Nhat Hanh:

“Imagine, for a moment, a beautiful flower. That flower might be an orchid or a rose, or even a simple little daisy growing beside a path. Looking into a flower, we can see that it is full of life. It contains soil, rain, and sunshine. It is also full of clouds, oceans, and minerals. It is even full of space and time. In fact, the whole cosmos is present in this one little flower. If we took out just one of these “non-flower” elements, the flower would not be there. Without the soil’s nutrients, the flower could not grow. Without rain and sunshine, the flower would die. And if we removed all the non-flower elements, there would be nothing substantive left that we could call a “flower.” So our observation tells us that the flower is full of the whole cosmos, while at the same time it is empty of a separate self-existence. The flower cannot exist by itself alone.“
Max Planck famously said science advances one funeral at a time. J. J. Thomson discovered the electron through his work on cathode rays in 1897. Up to that point the orthodoxy was that atoms were the smallest unit of matter. However there was evidence from the mid 19th century. What Thompson actually did was finally come up with incontrovertible experimental confirmation of a subatomic particle. The electron and other subatomic particles were the gateway to the rapid advance of 20th century physics.

The same pattern repeated itself in the early 20th century. Truly revolutionary ideas may take a generation to gain popular acceptance.

They had vacuum tubes in the 19th century, atomic theory and Maxwell's equations by the 1860s. I find it difficult to believe that they were incapable of isolating the electron.

Agreed to the first sentence. Let's say you have a table full of SHA-1 salted + hashed passwords, is even remotely worth the effort to spend even 1k per user/per password? Especially when many (though obviously not all) may be using unique passwords (such as myself)? Even if they use the same passwords for all sites, that is an incredibly large hill to climb...

Oh uh, to be clear, you should NOT be using SHA-1 right now. If you are reading this in order to justify not moving to a stronger hashing algorithm, none of us give you permission to do this, and if you get caught, any of us involved will vote for hanging you...with a noose...in a good old western style hanging...or something.

Seriously. Don't use SHA-1. Move on. If you are a manager and a developer tells you that you can't move on, please reach out. I've (regretfully) moved many from SHA1 -> SHA-XXX and I've provided migration paths. Migration paths with accessibility mind you...though that apparently doesn't matter to many of you cough Citibank cough.

The principal use case for any AQM is when stepping down from one speed to another, in the case of wireless, wildly variable rates, or in the case of 10Gbit to 1Gbit on a port (rfc7567), or shaping to customer rates via middlebox, like libreQos does (using XDP, currently).

In the non-shaping case, say going two 10Gbit ports into one...

what I had expected (in the future I saw in 2015) was that the FQ/AQM would be offloaded to hardware, and that vpp/ddpk would also get a timestamp and 5 tuple hash from the receive path's HW.

Labor's share of compensation dropped from 0.63 to just under 0.60. That's not 15%.

>>people find it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.

Because capitalism is literally people being secure to own and exchange what they produce. The end of capitalism would require pervasive government control to deny that right, and of course I'll assume it's Marxism that's motivating these calls, because it almost always is, and the economist who's being fawned over by leftists in the comments under this post is a Marxist.

>>The CSMonitor article you linked to cites 3 reasons for the dramatic drop in world poverty, with a move to "more market-based economic systems" about the closest thing they offer to "capitalism".

1. "more market-based economic systems" is 100% "more capitalism".

2. Here are two other sources that echo the widely held conclusion that the spread of market institutions, like private property rights, played a pivotal role in the decline in poverty:

>>So sure, at some point during the development of a capitalist economy, you will see a stronger correlation between productivity gains and wages. However, that's not the case in the USA since sometime in the late 20th century.

That is still the case with the US today:

https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/sources-of-real-wage-stag...

If you look at advanced economies, you see Hong Kong and Singapore ranking number 1 and 2 in economic freedom indices, and having social welfare spending as a percentage of GDP far below the OECD average.

And they massively closed the gap with the Nordic countries in per capita GDP, while leapfrogging them in quality of life metrics like life expectancy.

You see the advanced economies massively increase social welfare spending over the last 60 years:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

And you see both per GDP capita growth and wage growth stagnate over that period.

By all indications, capitalism is the best ruleset for facilitating economic growth, and the experience of advanced economies like the US confirms that.

>Mental disabilities are frequently easier to hide (much like being bi is easier to hide than being homosexual), which means that people with mental illnesses/disabilities are more likely to know how people treat them before and after finding out they're disabled

I understand where you're coming from, but the implication that someone with a mental disability has control over how they're perceived, or even accurate knowledge is wrong.

If they share information, there's no going back, and it can have devastating consequences.

If they don't intentionally share information, it may leak out anyway. Everybody knows what "crazy eyes" are, and gets uncomfortable if someone rambles on too much or shows excessive emotion.

If I look normal, but I have difficulty walking, and sometimes limp a bit, nobody is going to kick my leg when they notice, to prove that I'm not dangerous and they're not ill but I am. And if I share that I have a club foot, or that my lungs are damaged so I don't get enough oxygen, it's not likely to destroy relationships or seem relevant to share with everyone.

On the other hand, the slightest hint that someone might be mentally unstable leads to immediate concern - is this person a threat? Everybody knows this, and every crazy person feels exactly the same way around someone else that might be crazy. They feel it from both sides, but you have felt it from at least one.

So the way you prove someone isn't a threat is by testing whether they are vulnerable, and if they react incorrectly to that test. You prod them, you try some BS to see if they get upset or respond "normally". It's like being out on a tree limb and hearing a crack. You hold on to something and wiggle it a little to see if it's about to break. Everybody knows this from life experience.

I guess what I'm saying is that the uncertainty and ambiguity around mental illness is its own horror show of catch-22s, not a kind of privilege.

Someone with serious mental illness has to be tranquilized more than just enough to function normally, but enough to suppress normal reactions to provocation.

And once that is accomplished, they cannot share information about their condition indiscriminately because they are totally vulnerable. They can't casually ramble on about their thought process, because it will sound paranoid, no matter how controlled their actions are. Even to other mentally ill people because everybody thinks the same way, because it's logical but awful.

The choices that someone with an invisible condition other than mental illness, have, do not exist for someone with it. Every case where it is suspected, entails the threat of being outside the basic social contract.

>I just think if said grocery bagger had to stop bagging groceries that they don't lose value as a human
