They aren't talking about bans, but other controls. Cigarettes are not banned outright, but cigarette companies are banned from advertising in a lot of mediums and cigarette cartons have a warning label about the harmful effects of smoking them. For a long time there were PSAs about how bad they were for you too, to counteract the damage already done by the tobacco industry's marketing. And we tax them pretty harshly. People still smoke, it is still legal to smoke. We could do similar things for food and social media without outright banning it.
Musk relied on the truthfulness of the quarterly filings by Twitter, which included claims that less than 5% of tweets were fake.

If Musk can demonstrate that this is grotesquely false (which he probably can do, since it is obvious that at least 20% of tweets are fake), then he has a case against Twitter.

Well, if you bet on tech you are stupid. All world indices are still up 3% in the last 12 months and have only lost like 10% in the last 6 months.
Job posts with a pay rate get about 28% more applications than those without. Some job boards that syndicate jobs from other job boards will insert an "estimated salary" or "industry salary" just to get more clicks if you don't include a salary.

Stack Exchange works pretty well. There is some moderation on SE, but not much IMO.
What kind of company was this? I do contracting and have worked a lot of places, big and small, but have never seen anything remotely like this.

Perhaps it's a matter of perspective? Would you say e.g. James Damore was "cancelled", rather than being fired for discriminatory statements that an NLRB lawyer described as "so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected"?
Wow that's terrific! Those controllers are amazing. Also I'd forgotten about screen overlays.
I try to be sympathetic to the "color blind is still racist" thing, since I'm white so maybe my perspective's not that useful.

But I definitely feel a lot more racist and way more race-aware, to no productive purpose and in contexts where it can't possibly matter, than I did 20 years ago, as a result of this stuff. My kids are way more race-aware than I was at their ages, as a result, too. I sure hope whatever good is coming of this is worth it. I don't like it a bit.

I just want to say I really appreciate seeing tooling like this.

Having tried to get into C/C++ development roughly 3-4 years ago, I found the toolchain associated with getting even basic projects working incredibly complex and opaque as someone without industry experience.

From a brief look over the documentation of this project, I feel like I could get something up and running in very little time.
I think a developer productivity is measured by the eng output, not the market pricing of the goods they sell.

What do you think happens now?

Because that is pretty much what happens now, except now the applicant doesn't know the range.

The only thing that can happen with this is that people who think they're worth outside the range won't apply. And this isn't that much of a problem.

If the employer finds they aren't getting the quality of applicant they desire, they have an option: increase or change the range.

There is a lot of information asymmetry in hiring and most of it benefits employers.

If is far from perfect. I would say we are 30% through what our vision for the product looks like. I can totally understand how it does not meet your expectation right now.

The beauty of our model is that people pay with their wallets, not their data, and the momemt the product sucks, we lose a customer (or don't get one like in your case). Incentives are perfectly aligned.

The fact that barely a week afer the public beta launch, over a thousand people already pay for Kagi, while still being in beta and (very) rough around the edges, is the greatest motivation we can have to serve our user community well and continuing improving the product in the future.
That depends on where your profits are coming from. If a large number of your customers depend (say) on VC funding . . .

"We can make things better for free" isnt a naive take, its basic economics.

The cartoon is aimed directly at the people who are lying (knowingly ot unknowingly) about the 'cost' of addressing externalities.

Which, economics tell us, lead to inefficiency i.e. unnecessary waste. Reducing unnecessary waste is the exact equivalent of 'making things better for free'.
In this case the outcome is binary though, "Recession" or "No recession"
There is a connection, the article discusses it.

Please read it again :)
It's unfortunate that the entire article is focused on toxic productivity as a feature of individuals, as though their personal/psychological shortcomings are to blame.

I think it is worthwhile asking what are the cultural, structural, workplace conditions which contribute to people feeling like this in the first place. Are people more likely to have 'toxic productivity' when they are having unrealistic deadlines/workloads thrown at them? Does management foster a hypercompetitive environment? Does being tethered to Slack/Teams contribute? Do specific workplace methodologies such as Agile, etc have an effect?
This happens too. Its great to get paid top of band, until cost cutting comes around - you better be justifying it.
You hit the nail right on the head! That's exactly what we did :)
Yes, these are both real risks.

There are potential solutions. There are so many job levels at big companies like Microsoft. A candidate who is weaker could interview for software engineer 3 (made up title for example) and be offered a software engineer 2 position with the understanding that the company sees potential, but wants to start the person at what they see as an appropriate level.

The high performing candidate may ignore a job listing for a position which doesn't have a high enough top end to the range, but perhaps if they are being recruited rather than approaching the company, the recruiter could recognize the value of the candidate and find a higher role which would have a more competitive salary range.

Some companies can only hire specific advertised roles, but in many cases they advertise for one role/level and end up hiring candidates for others. Big companies could also have open reqs for more levels than they think they need, and then slot the candidates in to the level which makes sense.

Another approach they could take is to make the published salary ranges more broad than the are in practice. Hotels in many places have to publish the room rate, but typically this is an insanely high number which only happens when there's a special event or something.
It is absurd to reduce "happiness" to a single, one-dimensional value, as the sliders illustrate.

Edit: what would you do with this information as a manager, anyway? At best, you know your employees are unhappy but not why. So you still have to sit down and talk with them. Which you should have been doing in the first place instead of wasting everyone's time with this happiness index crap.

Huh.

I held off on the subscription services for a long time, but I eventually pulled the trigger for two reasons.

First, OTA access to everything was simpler and easier than cable sync from my (enormous) library. This may or may not be a unique feature of Apple Music, but I'm in the world so it works for me. By signing up to AM, I can get everything on my phone on demand, including weird or esoteric things that aren't actually available on Apple Music because AM will read my actual library and upload anything it doesn't have to facilitate easy access. (Now, YOU can't get access to the weird stuff I have, but that's fine.)

The second reason, which I admit is actually the first forcing function, is that while I understood perfectly well how to go to the music server and plug in my phone and sync music, it was just a Bridge Too Far for my nontechnical wife. She wanted it simpler, and so rather than complain was just not listening to music on her phone. :(

So I signed up for AM, and holy crap it's been pretty much an unalloyed boon. I still buy stuff (mostly local, since I live in a place with a record store), but I sample FAR more widely than I did before because the incremental cost to trying something because I read an article about this-or-that artist is zero. That aspect is pretty great.

And the way I have AM configured, everything I listen to gets downloaded, so if I'm in a place with no coverage (or an airplane) I still have everything I want.
I think you pointed out the problem yourself. Bitcoin and pollution don't care about borders, unless you get every country in the world to pass such a tax the miners will just move to wherever they can get away with not paying it.

This is still unfair to stakers that legitimately have infra disruptions. I have not seen any design for PoS that is actually fair and reasonable and I doubt it will ever happen because this is simply not something you want to just put in an algorithm. The problem space fundamentally requires human intervention at a high level.
Yes, so assume the word profits should have quotes around it.

Of 4.5 million arrests in all of China during five years, more than 7% were in Xinjiang according to Chinese government sources, even though less than 2% of the population live there.

We reliably get multiple hurricanes every year, each releasing far more energy than we could use. We do not, in fact, extract that energy.

We also never, ever drill into magma chambers. Drilling into a magma chamber is a good way to get a new, vitrified surface, several feet deep, for miles around what was once your drilling rig.
Then how about you skip the pricing completely, just saying "we are in beta blah blah" as others did, so to not scare me away completely? Because really, right now I wouldn't even bother trying it, when looking at 200$/mo.
This is going do to absolutely nothing. Most of this legislation does nothing to really address the potential for folks to just advertise incredibly wide potential salary ranges, to say nothing of alternative ways that they can change total compensation "for the right candidate," if you catch my drift. I would suspect that the biggest effect of this is to actually lead to overall greater distrusts, as folks will make all sorts of assumptions based on the ranges they see for jobs at their companies, based on their own biases. True transparency which would require something like disclosure of average/median total compensation at the company for that role, for instance, would be incredibly meaningful, but it will never come.
> Mine and everyone else's who holds important information in databases.

If your opinion is that your information warrants less redundancy and resiliency than what Zoomer cryptobros get with their sad monkey NFTs, then maybe your information ain't all that important?

> Up to some size.

That size being more than sufficient to store a land parcel's coordinates, address, and other identifying data.

> The current system scales with the number of home transactions. Your proposal scales with the number of homes - a much bigger number.

They both scale with both. Or do you propose that the current system instantaneously sprung into existence without spending centuries distributing paper deeds beforehand?

> Sure, but then it's just a whole bunch of extra work for no benefits for 10-20 years.

If you don't consider the greatly improved auditability and resiliency to be a benefit then that's further reason to question whether your opinion is actually representative of people with important information needing stored.

> not only will they still need to process the existing requirements, they would also have new requirements to obtain and prove ownership of their ETH/other crypto wallet

That doesn't logically follow. It's quite possible for it to be a "one or the other" deal.

And ownership is pretty trivial to prove: you either can initiate transactions with that wallet's private key or you can't.

> Well, there are exactly two block chains that are somewhat noteworthy outside the crypto bubble: Bitcoin and Ethereum.

There are a lot more than only two which are noteworthy. That you believe otherwise is itself reason enough to disregard your comment as thoroughly misinformed...

> And any other block gain that becomes even mildly popular quickly explodes in values and transaction fees just like the other two.

...as is this. There are multiple NFT-capable blockchains that have demonstrated better scalability both in theory and practice by virtue of them using a consensus method more sane than burning energy on useless SHA256 hashes.

> There are still some important differences I feel, mainly related to the fact that today's systems enforce knowing the legal identity of parties to a transaction for something like a house, even if the sale is done in cash - which wouldn't be guaranteed if the house could be traded by selling an NFT on a chain.

It wouldn't necessarily need to be guaranteed, because the information is already in a public ledger. If you want to get fancy you could address that further with NFTs representing personal identification (which has other applications, like tracking licenses and certifications and other endorsements, but I digress).
It really depends. If you count 100 times where the yield was not inverted and no recession was predicted, the odds get a lot better.
Yup, it should have been moot.
If you build a system with trusted parties, you no longer need to build it on top of a permissionless network. If permissionless networks were zero-cost and had no downsides, it wouldn't matter. But in fact, they are incredibly expensive and complex compared to conventional systems (like relational databases), and have serious downsides. Once you need a trusted party, there's no way to justify the permissionless network.

UltraLogLog: A more space-efficient alternative to HyperLogLog

Yes, but interest is front-loaded on mortgages, so the impact is much lower for those 20-25 years in.

I didn't downvote, but I think your solution isn't particularly effective. Part of the problem is food is more fundamental than tobacco; nearly everyone finds some kind of sweet treat appealing. Slapping labels on all the poptarts saying they are 'desserts' doesn't fix the fact that we are almost all hardwired to seek out fats and sugars.
I think that the most interesting point was about the storage pricing, if I understood correctly.

I was more or less forced to go for 1TB when I (very recently) bought my M1 Air to replace a repaied-and-failing aged Intel MBA.

But 16GB still feels like plenty for the coding I am doing, including some Java. Not that I have pushed the new machine very hard yet.
Kind of the opposite to Napoleon. Sparta fought one famous battle and is seen as invincible, Napoleon won almost all his battles, lost one decisive battle at Waterloo (incredibly close) and since then is seen as a looser. Propaganda is powerful tool.

Tin Foil Hat
It seems to only be an appeal to authority when it's a person or a position that one disagrees with. Otherwise it's "experience" or "consensus".
A lot of what larger companies do is find ways to take mediocre or bad staff and make them more useful by giving them structure and tools that help them do their jobs even if they're bad at them.

This is an example of doing this for managers. A good, thoughtful manager wouldn't need to do this, but it's difficult to find such people, and they tend to be expensive.
Are you saying that the employers won't give 170k+ if the disclosed max range is 170k? I highly doubt that, the only change here is that the range that was previously only visible to the hiring managers within the company is now also visible to the candidates. If they could go beyond the internally visible range before, they would surely be able to do it now. The only difference is that before the candidates would have no idea whether they're already maxed out on the given range or if there's still plenty of room to negotiate.
I love these deep dives into the hardware, thank you!
The easements stay with the land. A land purchaser who uses a competent title search firm will find these easements filed many years ago with county clerk and recorder. Literally it gets set up once.

The easements are reciprocal to everyone else in the town.

An interesting thing with this is that if a giant company wants to drive around, take pictures of everything, and then monetize those pictures (G's street view), they would be trespassing.

Nobody (but my neighbors, rarely and just for short time) parks cars in front of my house because it is private property. No need to ask a government road owner to pass ordinance to restrict parking of RVs, and put up no parking signs, and have police write tickets ... it's private property and a call to towing company gets it removed from my property.
In practice, everybody is polite and friendly.
>I couldn't fathom why anyone would ever use it. And then I used it. It seriously makes CSS significantly easier to maintain, dramatically reduces your CSS build size, and is really good for teams if you're trying to use consistent CSS throughout your UIs.

Same. I always said they'd pry my stylesheets from my cold dead hands. But then I tried it, and I'll never go back. I feel like it's time to let go of those last vestiges of the old "web development" paradigm, and start treating the browser as what it is; a universal VM for application development.
anything preventing them from doing very large ranges like that?
I agree, but this is not even a case of “colorblind is still racist” — it's seeing race where there is none.
