But engineer compensation has been larger pushed up by the FAANG companies which are highly profitable. There’s some VC fueled companies competing with them like Uber but on the whole engineer compensation went up not due to VC money but because big tech was able to generate millions in profits from engineers. Every FAANG company has a P/E ratio under 30 so these big engineer packages are from strong business fundamentals and profits, not VC economics.

Startups have the ability to compete in ways like better equity deals but by and large they still highly prioritize their investor concerns over hiring concerns as reflected in things like liquidation preferences in ISO and stingy equity grants. Most of the founders would rather ride their startup to the grave then re-evaluate the “standard” terms of their equity compensation approaches which each year have become more favorable for VCs and less favorable for employees.

Even though big tech has many problems and things I disagree with, at the end of the day they respect engineers by paying them their value while startup founders prefer to make engineers second class citizens then bemoan their hiring difficulties.
We added titles to the URL for SEO purposes -- Google told us that search terms in URLs rank higher. That's why all the blogging software puts the post title in the URL.

Fun fact that, it's actually optional on reddit. You can put anything you want there and it will still work. These two are the same:

The reason we made you unable to edit titles is to avoid the bait and switch. Getting a bunch of upvotes and then changing it. If you want to say, "well how about in the first five minutes" our counterargument was, "just delete the post and make a new one". It kept the software simpler.
I've always thought that Twitter adopted the same line of thinking, preventing tweets from being editable.

It goes back to that old adage of "if everything is urgent nothing is urgent".

This may have started over at CNN but it's filtered through to all media outlets. Even the humble BBC News is a victim of it. My wife has the BBC news app on her phone and some of the inane things it'll ping her about under the banner of "breaking news" astounds me.
>if you dont see "abolish the police and all prisons" and "forgive all student debt", you aren't looking at far left content.

I never took the "defund the police" movement as "abolish the police." I thought equating it to "abolish the police" was just a right wing hit-job.
I thought CNN became a big deal for it's 24 hour news coverage of a kid getting stuck in a well.
BTW a wire wheel would probably clean the old seasoning off faster than a sanding disk. That being said, the sanding disk has the added benefit of giving you a smoother finish on your cast iron, which is nice because most cast iron cookware available in the US is no longer machined on the interior surface. They leave it rough after the sand-forging process.
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing it. I think I might consider something similar to this approach for a future project, as I too have been trying to decide what kind of relationship I want to have w/ dependencies.

This is very weird comment. You are talking about progressives as if this is the only large grouping that is vocal or active. Insert conservatives, environmentalists, fundamentalists, jihadists, etc. and the statements remain equally valid. Your point essentially boils down to saying water is wet. Your comments pertain to all politically, philosophically, and religiously motivated groups.

Good decision. I smile with this decision.
You could say this for almost any primarily supportive role. Individuals forget these roles bring nothing on their own and exist entirely to empower ICs. Conversely, that means they can disenfranchise ICs and be a net loss just as easily.

They aren't useless, but one could argue the industry needs a reality check on how many of these supportive roles need to exist (in terms of quantity) and how many of these individuals are contributing anything. There are plenty of bad stories ranging from "benevolent but capable" to "clearly power tripping and a drain".
I've dropped back to Google simply for comparison purposes a few times, and the Kagi results are better virtually every time. The only exception is when you get one of those very convenient quick result thingys that google has for like sports results and stuff.

Compliance, contracts, and accounting are at their core pretty similar throughout the world. The details differ locally, of course. Think of it like running your Python code in different environments without the benefit of containers.

This is not just an international thing, some types of businesses need to do this on a state-by-state basis within the U.S., or even for localities like city or county. For example retail chains may have to deal with signage and parking laws that differ from town to town.

A person leading operations interacts with local subject matter experts to succeed in these areas. The structure of those interactions is pretty consistent: you tell them your business priorities, and they tell you the risks. You make business decisions based on those conversations, and then monitor for changes.
Not his own. Photos made by his fellow drunkards in the bar. Yes, he was tagged there. It was an entire album of shots like "Z is sleeping with his head on the table and someone squeezed half a bottle of ketchup onto his head, producing a red spiral".

That was in 2014, so I am not sure about his either willingness or capability to block those photos on Facebook. It was definitely too awkward to discuss personally.
Privacy is so fucking hard.

At the end of the day, one of the hardest and most subtle things about it is that expectations (in the form of regulations or just how users think things work) can change in the future, and it means once-mundane decisions that you made are now sending data somewhere it doesn’t belong.

Ultimately, I think that the only solution is going to be a table like this for every product, everywhere: we need to know EVERYTHING that is sent over the wire, WHERE we are sending it, and WHY/WHEN we are sending it. At least then we have all the info we need to look backwards and understand what happened to the data when the landscape inevitably changes.
That's far from being the only (or worst) problem with CNN but I guess it's a start...
I think CNN is definitely allied with the Democratic Party. Both parties are hawks when it serves their interest, so not having intelligence propaganda showing wouldn't be an option.

For those that downvoted him, many of the CNN "war contributors" have ties with the defense industry that are not disclosed, and those are all pro-war/intervention.

EDIT: I just noticed but I think it's funny that the WaPo has an article showing that the defense industry has infiltrated our news organizations in the lifestyle section. It's almost as if the editors are trying to hide the fact. I would think it would be a front page thing. Pretty significant assault on the democratic process, particularly on a subject as immense as war.
I manage IT for an office and one of our hires said they got covid, took a month to join, and then when she showed up her manager decided to move her desk. I think maybe I got the desktop and a monitor moved before I was told to stop because she just quit. I can think of maybe 3 people in my office that have stayed for over a year, none on bad terms, just hopping jobs.
> In 2001, no company, not even the small ones, were trusting Linux for public facing anything.

That's funny. In fact, Amazon decided to switch to Linux in 2001 [0], and completed the transition by 2002 [1]. They were moving from Solaris [2].

As I mentioned in another comment - it's bizarre how NetBSD supposedly absolutely dominated and yet there's absolutely zero documentation of that "fact", while there's lots of people talking about using Unix, Windows, and Linux at the time.
Congrats to you Richard for what you achieved, and I wish you the best in finding a role that will help you stabilize and continue.

There are very strange earthquakes and disconnects happening in the labor market right now and I appreciate seeing this honest perspective on the reality you were trying to change.
Also, I'm sure about half of the BBC News notifications are about the USA.
Unlikely - it's definitely something you can raise in an argument about intent to get drunk and that lack of intent impacting the nature of mens rea, so it might be a mitigating factor, but either way it isn't a complete defense so you're kinda starting at negligent homicide.

The difference, of course, is I'm not actually talking about what you did, I'm talking about what makes you a scumbag. I don't think people can really be unintentional scumbags - intent is required.
Sorry to slow down the AMERICA BAD train, but this seems pretty naive. These are incredibly complex, long running issues, and comparing the US with much smaller and less diverse countries is pretty pointless.

Every country falls somewhere on the political spectrum, implying that they are all insane because the aren't Sweden or something is revealing some heavy bias.
Thanks. I installed FairEmail from Aurora Store and while the gmail oauth option is there, clicking select account gives a brief screen flicker. The store does that say that it needs GSF which apparently means Google Service Framework.

But!! As I was writing this comment, I went to FairEmail again to confirm the behaviour and it seems that my IMAP access has been turned back on and I can receive emails again. No idea why or for how long.

What a ridiculous situation. If I had a time machine I would go back to kill Hitler and also to tell my past self not to sign up for a gmail account.

I'm in no way claiming that any of these measures are especially effective. Rather, I'm sharing the caution that this program is unlikely to result in any significant changes other than the availability of better data... including all of the negative outcomes people here predict. There is a long track record of police chain of command ignoring data, policy, and disciplinary recommendations, and that's an entirely separate problem to solve.

> Police need to uphold one rule: serve the community.

It's functionally impossible to enforce this rule without fairly significant community feedback obtained through a formalized mechanism like this. People have been trying for decades and you yourself have described the result. accountability of police officers is routinely defeated based mostly on the lack of objective evidence of significant wrongdoing (which is a requirement to take any action, often explicitly under CBAs but always in practice as a result of employment law, culture, etc). Improved mechanisms of collecting data on officer performance is an enabling step towards broader reform of departmental culture, not in the least by showing that a problem does exist. Right now, many departments evade action simply by denying that there is a problem and not collecting the information that would reveal it.
It's a fun thought experiment under the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Even at an infinitesimally low chance of getting the billion dollars, if the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is true, you could argue that it is worth it from a selfish perspective.

In all the worlds where you get the money, your life is improved. In all the worlds where you don't, well, you're dead, so you don't really care.

Obviously, this doesn't take into account the impacts to everyone else in the worlds where you died.

Newtons predated the Palm Pilot by a couple years. The Pilot 1000 was not released until 1996. The Newton was on the way out by the time the Palm Pilot was released and off the market by the time the really popular Palm III/V/VII series was released. So in the early 90s no one had a Pilot and by the late 90s the Newton was history.

The jetsetters the Newton was targeting (or I posit they were targeting) did end up getting Palm Pilots in the late 90s but in the early 90s likely either went with electronic organizers like a Sharp Wizard or a full laptop if they went with any electronic PIM/organizer device.

Since you are talking about western democracies, I assume you are referring to Europe? In which case, I'm sorry but what? Racism is as much of a problem in europe, if not more. The difference is that it's not really seen as an issue in Europe, and is swept under the rug.

The mainstream rhetoric around North Africans, Africans and Roma people in europe would be totally unacceptable in the US and make the American right look downright tolerant in comparison. Remember, "blood and soil" political parties such as the FN in france that literally advocated for kicking back north Africans and openly calls for discrimination against Muslims can get up to 40% of the vote. Prejudice against the Roma people is so insanely prevalent and violent too that it's just disturbing. So much so that it would be worthy of an entire thread on its own.

The difference is that American issues get worldwide coverage and tons of internal debates. That's not the case in europe, especially on the internet where there's a weird complex of inferiority that pushes people to reflexively downplay or deny local issues whenever they get brought up.

As for resource appropriation, I guess the Libyan war never happened? And maybe you should look up what Francafrique is. Neocolonialism is still a very European hobby.

I'm using Philips Hue, and I'm quite satisfied with them. That being said, I know there are way more options to choose from now compared to when I bought these bulbs about three years ago. I'd recommend checking out a local lighting supply store and playing around with the options. Best Buy and Lowe's carry smart lights but I think they're starting to only carry one or two brands. You'll get more exposure from a specialty LED supplier.

> Arguably every election that brings in a new government is a reboot. A revolution is more like wiping the drive and installing a new OS.

In the UK, Governments change but Parliament persists. The basics mechanism of state are unchanged until a new Govt defines and votes through new policies. Unlike the US, the UK's civil service doesn't substantially change as a result of an election.

The last really significant change to Parliament was perhaps the 1832 reform act which got of rotten boroughs - constituencies with few if any voters that still returned MPs. Since then the House of Commons has gained primary over the House of Lords, whose main role now is delaying/modifying Govt proposals. The last big reboot was the Restoration.
Really glad to hear that you guys are safe and continuing to operate. I remembered you were in Ukraine and was wondering how that affected everything! I've still got you in the back of my mind for when I need some design!
You don't like the mainstream media so you have decided to follow contrarians and "alternative" media. Half of the people you have listed have reduced themselves to unhinged pro-Russian propagandists in the past four months. They went from claiming that Russia would not invade Ukraine to "Here is why Putin is the good guy!" grifters.
it does come off as a bit one sided becuase the implication is that when you say "progressives do this" you are also implying that non-progressives don't--even if its not explicit. As someone who sits squarely in the middle, I see this heavily on both sides. A better formulation would be "partisans aren't known for wanting to be neutral or muted about their causes." If they had hired more conservative journalists they'd have the exact ssame issue but in the opposite direction.

(full disclosure--I haven't watched CNN or any other new channel since the Iraq war, i.e. 19 years ago. The all burned their bridges with me then, and I've never been back, so I'm assuming its true that CNN has a tilt left. I've never seen it myself.)
What is "you?"

If I, with my current education, was sent back 200 years... I could probably do OK with inventing stuff (engineering education, so I have some good answers backed by a nice model, much of which I'd have to work backwards to derive because who remembers 200 level engineering classes?). It took Marconi a while to realize that he had to ground the antennas, so there's a pretty good discovery for free.

On the other hand, if I was actually born then... I think I'm a pretty clever guy, but not a genius. Someone like me 200 years ago would probably... I dunno, be trusted to fix mill equipment. Or maybe work on watches, depending on where I was born. Maybe I'd be a town pharmacist or something.

Yeah, if the person is intellectually disabled and that disability causes them to act in a certain way then I don't really consider them a scumbag either. Their parents, maybe, or whoever is supposed to be supervising them.

Look, if you're a person who enjoys harming others, is incredibly lazy and chooses theft or destruction over actively working in your community when you have the opportunity to do so then you're more of a scumbag in my book.
If you want. It's up to you.

I'm currently using Google's chat and spaces at work. It's passable. They have a "threaded" view that I was really excited about at first but you can't collapse the threads so people just reply to whatever the first thread is that they see.

If they could get the UI right on the threaded bits and add a standalone desktop app, they'd be very close to "good enough" for most places that need some central chat option.

I haven't tried out their web hooks yet, but it's on my experiment list. The rest of the Google Workspace offering just makes life so much easier though.

Weelll ... the world population in 1911 was approx. 1,8 billion people, growing fourfold since then. One would expect some extra talents to emerge from the extra population.

Also, an average Earthling is now much richer than before. A random Korean or Turk of 1911 had much smaller chance to study physics, much less money to even buy a ticket to travel to the Solvay Conference. Both is now easier and cheaper.

On the downside, there is a lot more prestigious and well paying jobs today. Instead of tackling physics, best minds of today may be sitting in Facebook, trying to discover yet more ingenious ways to push ads on the rest of us.
