It used to be that the average monthly payment on housing would go up to around 25% of your spendable income, at least that was what the government used as a guideline. These days you need over 40% to even get anywhere and even that is unlikely to be enough. I've also noted around here the required income went from about 3-3.5 to around 5 times the rent rate despite that meaning you need a 6+ figure income for even the most basic apartments (which is rare here) which is just risk reduction for the owner.

You can easily find tweets calling for trump and republicans to be killed on twitter from years ago and nobody bothered to ban those people so your statement rings hollow.
I think we also need to move primary voting to the same day nationally. Right now just a few states narrow down the primary choices. By the time it gets to the later states there's only one or two left.

"voting Republican in America gives power to a party that believes that it is evil to tell children about the effects of slavery or the fact that queer people exist and deserve rights."

That's the same sort of extreme view that the paper was talking about, and mischaraterizes the party's position (even if a small faction does believe it). Don't you think that some Republicans think all Democrats want to abolish the police or take their guns?

Invert that phrase. "__company__ isn't a good fit for me". Be clear that you are leaving on your terms.

The interviewer may still tell people that you gave up halfway through, but if anyone else is listening or the interviewer is accidentally honest, it is more likely to trigger change by emphasizing that the company is losing you rather than you are losing the company.
i use one today with more than 20k engineers
I've only faced this a time or two, and I ended the session. I did that with respect and candor, being frank about it potentially being a poor fit, wishing them luck and all those basic human things.

No regrets.

In my view, these things are self-correcting. If the interview is so poor that I feel it doesn't make sense, it's extremely likely more will be a rough scenario.
Good for people who like to work with non-standard markdown. Not sure why companies do not use RestructuredText (rst), which is a proper specification [0] and has been very successful in the area of documentation.

In order to generate a print quality documentation from this markdoc format will be a huge task. RestructuredText already has strong support for Latex output.

Now people have plain markdown, gitbook and now markdoc with its own set of non standard extensions. Hopefully rst format can catch up among JavaScript developers.

So far haven’t seen a complete documentation tool like Python Sphinx [1].

Thanks for the heads up, I did not know they had made a new series. Will start tonight. Hopefully better than Discovery.
I'd definitely like our immigration system to be better executed even under the current overall goals; the arbitrary/capricious CBP officer at the border seems pretty bad.

Most of H1B could be fixed if we could get rid of Wipro/etc. staffing agency abuse (almost entirely of people from India, but there are lots of Indian H1B who work for other companies and are fine); the process seems relatively non-abused by actual end-user tech employers, with the biggest problems for smaller companies being the "can't work here because if company fails you lose status (in 30 days now, thankfully, not immediately)" and "hassle of the process".

I'm not sure how legally to ban the Wipro style use of H1B while preserving the rest. I'd also always prefer fees vs. delays; there are jobs for which $200k/yr fee paid to US Treasury would still be worth it for ~instant processing, and it's inefficient/bad for everyone to not have that as an option.
Thanks for the update. Interestingly enough, the targeted employment area (TEA) amount was brought down from $900k to $800k, but the non TEA amount was brought down all the way from $1.8M to $1.05M, with both figures to be adjusted per inflation every five years.
On Vim there's a plugin called Vimux which allows me to control other pane from Vim. For example, I type `<leader>l` and it runs the last command on the next pane, which usually is a command to test the code I'm working on.

Sure, you can do everything in a WM or DE, but I use Linux and macOS and it's nice to have the same configuration, keybindings and environment everywhere. I also find tmux more customizable than Gnome Terminal and easier to setup than st or urxvt.
> How am I personally responsible by association for the actions of others, while you aren't?

Whites not associated with racism are expected to denounce it.

Men not associated with misogyny are expected to denounce it.

I’m not holding double-standards, just acknowledging that humans work based on heuristics.

> Do I have to do this in front of everyone I meet, so then they'll be sure I'm one of the good ones and they can treat me like a normal person?

You don’t have to do it at all, but yelling at people because they’re human and their brains react to repeated exposure by finding patterns isn’t going to lead to the outcome you want.

So if you don’t like being associated with that kind of behavior — you probably want to do it some time, in some way.

That perception won’t change until there’s enough people out there denouncing the misappropriation of their identity by politicians to make it clear that they dont represent that group.
I think it's more than they're leaving it in bitcoin. For now this is more secure than leaving it in local accounts where the predatory State has access to it, or where it can be confined by sanctions, etc.

Later... someday or sooner... throw it through few a mixers, pass it around a few times, and, sure, it could become capital again, or convert to another currency, or stick it in real estate. But there's no need for that at this point. In some places the risk of losing 80% of it to the fluctuations of kleptocoins is actually better than the political risk, or the potential taxation burden.
I'd continue interview just for the practice of being interviewed, since I'm already there. Unless I have more important things to do.

Emacs org-mode with babel for executing code blocks to generate the diagrams prior to exporting to html/pdf is my flow for this. It still has a steeper learning curve for non-technical users, but if you use post-commit hooks you can have people just make changes that way and let the scripts do the work.
Those judges were all Bushites (see their backgrounds and how they didn't help Trump steal 2020). Trump was the most pro-choice Republican in a while, he just didn't care at all about the Supreme Court and outsourced it to the very pro-life Republican establishment. If Jeb or Romney had won in 2016 this would have probably happened earlier
It looks like a static site generator - but at the same time it appears you cannot actually generate a static site from it, but you need to run a node.js server.

I'm actually building a simple tool that allows you to provision accounts, manage permissions and delete accounts. I haven't figured out yet if I want to market this directly to companies, or as an API for big HR companies so that they can build this into their product offering (what sucks is maintaining all the different integrations and adding more and more, so it might make sense to offer this to other companies so that they don't have to build it themselves.

Would you be interested in a SaaS (yes, another SaaS...) with the only purpose of provisioning accounts, even though at some point (when your company grows), you will probably get a bigger more complex SaaS for handling HR?

Salvadoran bonds reached their all time high after the Elections in March 2021, because investors expected stability with an officialist majority party in the local congress.

On the first session though. One of the first things the congress did was to change the Supreme Court and the Attorney General.

Did I say all that happened in just two hours, live, in a HD televised session with what I believe scripted dialogs. They even had crane cameras and rail cameras for cinematic effect.

Hard to explain. Just imagine C-SPAN turning from C-SPAN into a reality-show-contest production style. Laws (including your legal tender) being approved in 2 hours with no previous announcements. Sometimes at midnight too.

And let me get to the part when the interpretation of laws can change with a government's official tweet or tv appearance. Yes. Sometimes more than once a day. And sometimes the interpreted law being the opposite of the written law. Sometimes in a foreign language. Really. :)

Imagine living in a reality show where every major change in the plot is announced on Sunday at primetime. Except the reality show is your country. :)

Those changes started worrying bond investors. Many other things, good and bad, have happened ever since, too long to type in a comment.

In less than a year. The 2052 bonds went from an all time high to an all time low. [1]

> Which is fine if the baby is dead or there's a complication in which the mother's life is in immediate danger.

As stated in my first comment, the politicians currently running for office in my area do not agree with your viewpoint, as they have insisted that they will ban abortion even in the case of fetal death or to save the life of the mother. This, imo, is the anti-abortion purity spiral.
Budgie Programming Language
They do hold more power, but in terms of the basic interview session, it's equal in that either party can end it for their reasons.

Overall, people seeking work have less overall power and a generally poor position, unless they have saved or earned enough to not require the work.
My reading is that the new 28-year copyright term with one 28-year renewal option with registration would apply to everyone going forward. Only the "retroactive effect" is narrowly constructed to apply only to Disney. This seems a lot like an unconstitutional bill of attainder; it may not actually use the name "Disney" but the effect is the same. Laws should not single out individuals or groups for special treatment, good or bad.

The proper solution here would be to limit all copyrights to 28 years from the date the law is passed or initial publication, whichever is later, though IMHO 28-56 years is rather long. The original copyright term in the US was half that, 14-28 years, and it could stand to be even shorter. But it is at least a step in the right direction.
>because both overlap

It's easy to see why old empires/countries were divided by geographical features due to military reasons. But why would it affect the current-day political climate directly?

I think the causal relation is more like

Geo -> old empire -> (more things) -> current day politics

like the original post implied, than

Geo -> old empire
Geo -> current day politics

as you implied; unless I missed your point.

Edit: on a second thought, I think a factor that supports your point is that geographical feature would affect corresponding industries in certain area regardless of "historical divisions". Maybe this is what you mean?

That's such a weird thing to say or think. Makes me cringe.
One more story. When applying for an Amex card they had my name as "Andre" instead of Andrew (this one is probably a typo on my end).

Before approving the application, the Amex agent did a 3-way conference call with me and an agent from my bank to confirm the details in my application.

Amex: "Can you confirm the customer's name is André?"

Bank: "Yes, I confirm the customer's name is Andrew."

Amex: "Thank you for confirming, André your application has been approved"
> It's clear to me that we're not a good fit here. Let's not waste anymore of our time

IMO this effectively terminates all possibilities. IMO it might be more effective to say a break in the convo adding something tailored to what you're feeling/observing.

"I'm getting the sense that something's off here. "

Distracted/Disinterested - "Is there something more pressing you need to attend to?"

Rude - "Can you tell me about your company values and how you treat eachother?"

Superiority - "Can you tell me a bit about how CompanyX mentors and develops new talent?"

etc -- put it out to them assuming the best, but implying you're now interviewing them about their qualities.
> Bitcoin and crypto are a threat to the IMF system.

Can you elaborate on this?
If you look at human genetic populations, particularly several haplogroups prevalent among the first peoples to re-settle Europe after the ice age, and the Middle Eastern peoples they came from, as well as a later Y DNA group associated with the Germanic expansion in prehistory, the low prevalence areas today basically still outline the borders of the Roman Empire at its peak.
Parents’ Music Resource Center had four founders, the other one who was a wife of a federal official was Susan Baker, wife of Bush’s then-Treasury Secretary James A. Baker III.
Would "I don't think your company is a good fit for me" be better wording (to show it's not your skills but their culture), or would that be too aggressive?
Sure, I just mean that the line is a lot fuzzier than most of the other examples. Like if you showed me just the modern Polish map in the first one, I could clearly draw a pretty accurate approximation of the historical German border. But I don't think you could get nearly as accurate of a historical Mexican border from the modern population map. And in few areas where you can, it's also a modern border (Texas-Louisiana for example).

It's just a less compelling example than the others.
My middle class family certainly has a "family lawyer" who deals with wills, property, that kind of thing. You should use a lawyer for those things, why not use one you know and trust?

If we were very wealthy, perhaps we'd have a legal matter for him every month instead of every year or two, but that's plenty of time to build up a relationship. Similar to having a family doctor.
Lmao at the example "split stay" - oh yeah, the average person is going to spend ~$14K for a month of travel at some national parks. Way to stay in all of those Airbnbs and see what it's like for an "average user" Brian!

It doesn’t have the same power if you don’t say who you’re addressing. Yes, it’s logically obvious you’re speaking to the people in front of you, but this isn’t computer logic, it’s human interaction.
I've been coding commercially in C and C++ (not full time but pretty regularly) for over 20 years and I'm starting to think the simplest fix is to not use C or C++.
What happens on a slightly different task where domain experts have tried to create a set of topics, not all domain experts talk to each other, and so we instead need a way to merge existing topics? I continue to see benchmarks where human expertise significantly outperforms AI on common sense reasoning tasks (most recently https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.11446).

What about an approach using directed acyclic graphs and entities?
> I’d tell

It's really at this step where things start to take a wrong turn. I truly believe you're acting in good faith, so please take this as a gentle suggestion. Rather than telling trans/black/etc people anything, pause and really listen.

We are already told how to do everything else in our lives, being told how to stand up for ourselves and how to fight for our rights feels like another example of the same pattern. A better question is, "How can we help?" or "What do you need?"

Cute? I am challenging your perception that Republicans let their "hateful fringe" take over. The data shows that Republicans have actually been getting more progressive. That this trend isn't fast enough to suit you is beyond the point, republicans trending in this direction at all (let alone doubling) contradicts your stated perception of the trend.

> it is important to know what those reasons are before attempting to modify the things.

People misinterpret Chesterton's fence as an argument against changing things, but it's actually just about what I quoted above. It has no verdict on whether or not something should be changed. It just argues that you should make a strong effort to figure out why it is how it is before attempting to do so.

I'd argue that if you don't at least do the exercise your attempts to change things will probably fail, since whatever you try to do will likely fail to capture something necessary in the old system.

Keep in mind though that it doesn't always work. Sometimes the reason for the fence is forgotten. Sometimes the reason is deeply perverse and there never was a good reason. Sometimes the reason is obsolete.

Literally nothing? Every time there's a hiccup I see plenty of people frantically engaging in a propaganda effort as if their life savings depended on it.
I do see where they are coming from. It feels like they have all the power, even if they don't. In that situation where I am going and looking for a job, they do have all the power or a lot of it in that moment that I am looking for a new job there. That in itself can make it feel like they have more power than they do. When we put ourselves in a place where we are trying to "Impress" or Prove that you are the "Better" candidate, we are already in a place of them judging us from a place of power.

Usually I feel like interviews are staged in a way to put Interviewees in a tense, or underdog sort of way. From the moment you walk in you feel like you are in their hands. I am always somewhat nervous and tense in a interview, but that could be more my mentality than anything, but I can see where they are coming from.

In an ideal world we feel equal and have the opportunity to walk out but when you really need a job or have had troubles finding one it can feel pretty powerless.

Sorry to ramble a bit.
It's weird indeed. I admit I believed there was a law that protected depositors (in general) from creditors in the event of a bankruptcy. Are you saying that there's a law that's specifically for grain companies, one specifically for safe deposit companies, etc.? What if you park your car in a garage which goes bankrupt, can you lose your car? I'm kind of mind blown right now...

You can always put yourself in a weak position. That doesn't mean the natural balance of power is that you are weak.

At the end of the day, the company wants to hire you and you probably want to be hired. I generally urge people to think of this as a cooperation exercise and not a power struggle.

Interviewers should treat interviewees with dignity and kindness, even when the interviewee is doing poorly. Interviewees should be gracious to the interviewer, even when they have decided to work elsewhere. The first side to stop being cooperative loses.

The above does not however apply to salary negotiation.
Or just say, "everyone"

This is all just flow and it depends on the speaker. Having a bit of a lead in can help some people. Gets in the way for others.

The university picture, in particular has some strange artifacts in the tree lines. It looks like the neural network is inventing scene details.

Also, the aberration figure for the dolls suggests it's doing some sort of object boundary detection to decide what distance each pixel should be at.
