I live in CO and we recently had a similar law pass that required companies to disclose salary ranges. Like you said it does absolutely nothing, companies will list "Senior Software Engineer" with a salary of "$70k - $240k". This often times isn't even the range for the current position, but the "entire range" of offers they extend to any level of SWE.
Ahh! Then you need a router table. You can make jigs for it the rest of your life, you don't need to actually use the table.

I couldn't understand from the article what runs a turbine (hot gas?). Can someone explain how electricity is generated?
> A "unified and neutral streaming service where they can share the revenue" already exists. That's called cable

A true neutral streaming service would be like a pirate streaming site: available globally, no geofencing, and one price for everything. 2012 Netflix showed that it can work.
> It must be corruption, because surely you have people who can administer with competency comparable to my town.

They probably do have people who can administer with comparable competency, but I think the competency required to manage a town of 40k is very different from the kind of competency you need to get those results in a much larger town.

At small city scale, administrative layers can be thin and infrequent because of the smaller scale. Changing collections to be every other week could probably be a meeting with a few dozen workers. In a major city, that could be hundreds or thousands of workers, requiring administrative layers to handle rescheduling, handling concerns, etc, etc.

Small cities also generally have to develop smaller portions of their budget to dynamically adjusting to shifts in the city. How often do you have to build new roads and expand existing ones to handle shifts in traffic? What's the worst case scenario for traffic in a city of 40k, vs a city with millions of people? The major cities I've lived in are constantly having to build new roads and expand existing ones, and they're barely making a dent in the traffic problem.

Stuff like taking down trees and cleaning parks is pretty easy when the town is small enough to have a half dozen people do it. You need a whole administration layer when you can't have 6 people that just wander around parks fixing things that need to be fixed.

Like many things, I think complexity and cost of those services tends to scale exponentially with population rather than linearly.
Isn't Bridgewater a very high performing organization? How has the company not completely collapsed at this point? Or is there a ticking time bomb coming that will end up destroying Dalio's supposed "reputation for excellence"?
It is a shame. I don't see any easy answer. I am working on sfu-to-sfu[0] and hope it can make some traction. If we can get all the Open Source WebRTC servers working together, maybe there is hope? I believe WebRTC did the right thing. It was as flexible as possible to make it more palatable. You can standardized/codify things, but you can't undo it :)

I am also really excited about WHIP[1]

It’s not the amount. It’s the value for me.

$10 for something that is minimal value is the path to ruin, especially when done by many people.

There’s opportunity cost (ie, what if I donated to charity, etc) but mainly I want to support high value products with some link to costs. All these “just the price of coffee” 4-hour-work-week type things are an unhealthy way of looking at the world.

I like open source so I can stop worrying about stuff that has near zero marginal costs.

I hate to think of a future where everything I enjoy or use is “just $10 every month.”
Yes, agreed. It is a term of inclusivity that is applied to observations and models, the testable items. I don't think "we" it is acceptably used for individual opinions unless it reflects the opinions of multiple authors.

The followup definitely uses the "I" (for opinion) initially, but then switches to "we".

As a reader I am not a participant in "we" unless I agree with the statements being made. I think it is this is what made me frosty and say who is this other person, because it isn't me.
I pretty sure if you headquartered your marijuana company in a state where it's illegal you'd run into problems, even if you didn't grow or sell it in that state.

He must’ve been terribly disappointed with how things evolved. In the 1960s, he envisioned computers to keep track of all human knowledge for us, to help us find contradictions, fill knowledge gaps, and ask better questions. And what did we get instead? Clickbait and spam bots. Did he see it that way?

Oh, there are lots of great FOSS counterexamples - the Linux kernel, Postgres, and SQLite are three easy ones.

I'm not claiming that good engineering doesn't exist or that there aren't amazing FOSS tools, I just take issue with that ideas that either (a) all FOSS tools are great or (b) the FOSS model is somehow able to produce quality tools in a way that the proprietary model is not (or substitute "bazaar" and "cathedral" models if you wish).

The vast majority of software sucks, and I'm not sure that FOSS software even sucks less on average.
How does a user verify that anything Facebook claims to do behind the scenes is true?
It seems like the main advantage of tailwind is that you don't have to learn how CSS cascading and specificity works, which is a fair advantage as most frontend developers I talk to don't even realise that specificity is a thing.

I don't see the advantage over inline style tho. I see abbreviations as a disadvantage as its just as fast to type background as it is bg but background is clearly more intelligible.

How do you deal with side effects for example I think bg-red is the brand red but some one has modified that class so it now has a border. You could prevent this with convention but then you have the same issues as using css with specificity and people not understanding the conventions around it.

I think its easier for every one to just force your frontend developers to just learn CSS and use it.
Here's an example.

California passes a law, and because doing business in California is good for the bottom line they will comply with the law, and in so doing set a new defacto national standard. But, if this burden becomes too onerous, the business can simply not do business with California or move out of California. But, California is such a large market it's quite a high burden to reach.

You were talking about a junior position in your post, not mid-career move.
I am using it with traditional Django + Jinja2 for templating now which is working well. With {% macro %} you basically get fully reusable “components” on the backend so there’s limited copy pasting of tailwind classes.
The extremely sad fact is that doing this calculation for storage costs in a major city means you are often better off simply throwing out or giving away the item instead of storing it, and buying a replacement when you need one.

Isn't it a "view" of information? Any sufficiently advanced text editor can recreate it with a simple key combination.
Taking the repos down would only inconvenience legitimate researchers. All the sketchy users discuss on forums and either post the code inline or upload to a random VPS.
> So, because it’s a base human urge, we shouldn’t ever try to improve on it or do better?
Sounds very defeatist to me.

Improve and do better for whom? Those of us with adequate social acumen can deal with human nature just fine.

It is observably true though that low status persons often fantasize about somehow overturn the social order such that when it all shakes out they come out on top. It’s so common that it’s a well-known and frankly overworked trope.

The world has seen plenty of revolutions and other social disruptions and every single time those with a good grasp of human nature come out on top. You can fight reality if you wish, but you can never beat it.

> Plenty of workplaces try a lot harder: setting specific goals to achieve in order to get promotions rather than relying on interpersonal relationships, for example.

And it’s telling how reliably chumps fall for that story. The process is observably no more than a fig leaf covering office politics except perhaps at the levels where nobody with influence gives a fig.
The issue is that there are only about 30000 Sámi.

That means that if even 0.5% of non-Sámi Norwegians decided to suddenly identify with them, we'd swamp them. With whatever caricatured, romanticized, self-serving idea of Sámishness we came up with.

So I think the three (or is it two?) generations rule is sensible. Yes, you don't have to speak Sámi to be Sámi, but if not even one of your great-grandparents could speak Sámi, then your connection to the culture is tenuous enough that you should make some effort yourself (I.e. learn the language yourself) before you start getting into internal Sámi politics.
If your target workflows are ad hoc jobs, wouldn’t running on lambda make more sense than dealing with the headache of provisioning ec2?
I've gotten all my jobs via a recruiter reaching out first.

Cold applying to a job posting whether it be on LinkedIn or the company's site has always resulted in being ignored or getting swiftly rejected with a generic reason.

Trying to use my network has gotten me to the interview stage, but from that point on it's no different from going through a recruiter - you get the typical leetcode interview. In my case, I've failed all the leetcode interviews I've gotten through my network, so my success rate there is 0%.
This is the only reasonable comment in this whole thread. Python's was growth was basically organic, NumPy/SciPy/etc. are later extensions of that organic adoption.

I use an application password with mutt (really neomutt). IMO this is not a significant degradation in my security posture: the application password is scoped, and mutt executes my password manager to retrieve it.

Supporting OAuth would be good, but I also understand perfectly why they don’t: it’s not part of the standards. If Google wants universal adoption, they should go through a standards track rather than throwing their weight around. And again, I say that as someone who would gladly use OAuth in mutt.
If people generally perceive that

1) They will not earn more money in the future to offset the price increases.

and

2) Their savings will outpace inflation.

Then they will react to inflation by saving more and deferring consumption. In order for this to change, saving/investment must generally be a bad deal for the average consumer - or they have to have the expectation that future earnings growth will offset inflation.

After 50 years of flat wages, it should be unsurprising that the average consumer does not believe 1 will be true.
Direct insults aren't what FB is promoting. FB promotes biased if not outright fake coverage of real-world events that stir up outrage and controversy and encourage people to "engage" by arguing in the comments or seeking more of such content.

>Yet you have no evidence to show any significant overlap in the Venn diagram of actual voters and people who searched that term, much less the reason they searched that term.

The weeping and wailing began the night of the referendum. By the next morning we were confidently told by the press, Reddit, and Twitter that millions of Leave voters were already regretting their vote (and, as per TimPC's claim, were only now trying to find out what Brexit is), and that another referendum was thus the only fair/democratic/correct thing to do. (That even if such millions of Regretters actually existed that does not mean that a revote would occur is a minor technicality.) All part and parcel of the relentless effort since the referendum to invalidate its outcome by any means necessary.
It is very hard to do tracebacks of cancer to nuclear events. It's very hard to do cancer death tracebacks to industrial spills and pollution. Genetic damage that may span a generation.

Nuclear proponents (I'm a nuclear proponent) that handwave away such dangers are exactly who I'm talking about from the "old guard", and the people that the greens were correct about: the people who need to die off/retire/disappear (by attrition), whose lax view of nuclear safety and who politically killed the LFTR in preference for the solid fuel design that could ALSO produce nuclear weapons. Good riddance.

LFTR has given the blueprint for a next-gen reactor: use all the fuel, inherent meltdown protection via the plug, proliferation reduction. Solid fuel reactors are not safe
Not being Canadian and having never lived there, I apologize for my ignorance. (I have been there several times, and not just Toronto & Montreal & Vancouver, either.) I'll refrain from any mentions of hockey, poutine, eh, or Gordon Lightfoot.

Canada strikes me as more than ripe for a split. Quebec goes one way, Ontario another, Manitoba - Saskatchewan - Alberta another, BC a fourth, and I don't know about the other provinces.

The ultra-progressive Trudeau minority government should have fallen a long time ago. Their "conservatives" are about as worthless as California Republicans.

I dislike people who don't apply the same rules they apply to others to themselves such as Musk saying you have to be in the office 40+ hours per week when that isn't physically possible for him to do given how many companies he runs.

I also dislike those who get lots of help from others to become rich and powerful then use their power to stop others from getting the same help, which he has done.
Similar issues can happen with geothermal heating/cooling if it's unbalanced - eventually the ground temperature changes and you have to dig deeper or stop using it.

The sides of the dice are financial quarters. The roll is the financial quarter that a recession starts.

If recessions happened every other financial quarter then the outcome would be binary. But historically recessions not that common; they happen in less than 1 in 20 financial quarters. So the D20 analogy is actually something of an understatement.
Thanks for clearly ignoring 90% of my comment.

By “predicting this in 2008” they predicted a long period of low inflation before it started to accelerate quickly.

I’d say that’s pretty damn accurate.

I built a fantasy football app in 1998 for WDVE in Pittsburgh, PA and had to act as the "Commissioner" to handle all disputes, complaints, and other interesting feedback, all via email, and as a person who couldn't give a shit about Football and never watched a game.

The backend was all perl, pulling data from stats.com or something like that. But the only way any of this was possible, was using terminal-based email (pine, not mutt, but similar enough).

Terminal-based email is a great example of a tool optimized for power users, and I'm realizing now that most of what I was able to do in Pine in 1998 I still can not do with any "modern" email client (I pay for Superhuman these days, which is still a far cry).

Interesting, I had a call with one of their sales people a couple days ago.

The whole product is a glorified spreadsheet. It is super customizable, which is almost a bad thing since you really just want a product like this to kind of guide you through all the laws and regulations. Instead, it is tailored towards creating a job description for someone to sit there and fill in data that nobody will ever look at.
It says that certain sites (cough:pinterest:cough) have totally poisoned the search results and that little has been done to rectify that.

You are wrong about that because it's not possible to know if something is true with certainty. Hearing about things in the news and social media doesn't make it true. See: Iraq WMD.

They were laughing at his proposal [1], which seems like it would increase inflation in the same way that stimulus checks and rock-bottom interest rates did - by giving people cheap/free money.

Jagmeet Singh likes to characterize businesses as blood sucking institutions making money hand over fist. But competition in a healthy market makes it so that you can't just increase profit margins, because a competitor will eat your lunch. One big issue in Canada is that there is a lack of competition. Close friends who are entrepreneurs in Canada tell me that starting/operating a business in Canada is really difficult compared to the US (a lot more regulations, a lot less capital, and investors are really conservative). Telecom in Canada is pretty much a cartel - 3 providers, price fixing/geography-exclusion agreements, they inhabit the regulatory boards, ...

RE4 will be 18 years and 3+ console generations old when the remake comes out. It just feels like less because it's been re-released a ton in the intervening time, and because it was such a high point for the series it was still the main point of comparison for 5-Village.
Arguably, a game that relied on increasingly complex arithmetic could become viral among birds. Geometry (lines and circles) would be next.

When we school horses, we use circles and straight lines because those things don't exist in nature, but horses can learn them with instruction and repetition, and then we use those figures as a foundation or baseline to refine subtle deviations from the figures so that the horse can learn to interpret our intent from our physical cues in the context of a baseline figure. What dressage is really is the construction of a physical language with another being who has a completely different brain and existential experience, from the first principles of geometry. People go on about horse dancing and spiritual woo, but almost two decades in, this is what I have been able to derive from it. Master riders will tell you it's a science as much as an art, and it usually takes many years to sink in why they would say that, but like constructing a language with birds to teach each other, while they may not articulate it, with guidance, animals can absolutely experience and percieve geometry, and based on that shared apprehension, we can build on it to relate in very sophisticated ways that come to resemble language.

The idea isn't crazy. I practice it more days than not. :)

What's with the trend of suffixing every world with "-oholic" then-a-days, to characterize how too much of a thing can be bad?

Language changes. We used to make up words like "shopaholic". Now we might say "toxic consumerism" if we didn't already have a word for it. Different forms that mean the same thing; no need to get worked up over it.

I feel like most places would be open to hiring a senior in place of a principle if they felt either, the senior could do the job well enough.

At some places I've worked, level was determined after the decision to hire. A position would be open to levels I, II, & III, and a panel of people would determine which level they felt the candidate would come it at.
My theory is that he wanted to threaten to buy Twitter (or actually buy it) to create political pressure on the Biden administration to stop stonewalling the Starship FAA license. There’s murmurings that the FAA is stonewalling Starship due to political reasons. The “threat” of allowing Trump back on Twitter could create leverage to force the FAA political impasse to be dealt with.

I heard this idea from a colleague in the space industry. Going to Mars is one of Musks main goals, and as crazy as it sounds I could see him doing all this Twitter craziness just to move that ball forward.

If you assume you use a couch 50% of days--because you travel, sit other places, etc. you're talking about over 10 years which seems sort of reasonable. And OK you can try to find something used or something at Ikea, but $5K isn't a completely extravagant number for a couch, especially if you own a house.
