It's hard to assess on-call comp without the context of pager load, stage of company and a myriad of other factors. We've done some research from the market though, and have some interesting results we'll be sharing soon! (see https://twitter.com/incident_io/status/1526191169054597120)

I take your point though, and if being on-call is having any meaningful impact on the time you spend working outside of hours, I agree $350 is low. For us, we're an early-stage startup with low numbers of alerts (long may it stay that way!) and the impact is low.

Not to try and defend it too much, but it's worth pointing out that the $350 is there to cover the inconvenience of being 30 mins from a laptop, rather than compensating for the time. We also give folks time off in lieu for any time they spend working outside of hours.
The Job Guarantee is an optimal buffer stock stabilisation policy that eliminates the dead-loss zone between the wage on the buffer stock and the bottom wage in the private sector. Sub-optimal buffer stocks do the same thing, but you need more people on them which leads to an opportunity loss of output at the peak of a private sector boom.

The most destructive form of buffer stock being straight unemployment with no compensation. Turns out starving people and letting their job skills rot is pretty destabilising. Who knew?

The buffer stock theory doesn't rely upon Job Guarantee. That's just the natural endpoint of trying to minimise the size of the buffer while retaining its stabilisation effectiveness.

But there always has to be a buffer stock somewhere. What form it takes is a political choice.

There are plenty of partial implementations. The UK Universal Credit system requires 35 hours a week looking for work that cannot exist in aggregate in return for a pittance of pay. The pay is too low, the job is punitive rather than constructive and you can't choose to go on it, but it has anchoring properties that a straight unemployment scheme doesn't have. People will tend to want to get off it and into a private job for example. However, without the balancing choice in the opposite direction it favours capital over worker.
You can do the business logic in QML, that is the best practice nowadays. That is why it is a full blown language based on JavaScript.

Or do little helper classes that you than use from QML, just like those Python libraries that are mostly native code.

Qt also has official Python bindings nowadays, even though the others were dropped, due to lack of interest.

Don't forget automatic memory management can also have other kinds of leaks, and use similar tooling, to track down where references are wrongly being kept alive, e.g. Forms/WPF event handlers.
Unrelated gripe about Keysight but they started requiring even buyers of this beast to have a support contract to get any technical support whatsoever. They used to answer simple questions for free even from hobbyists if you reached out.

Cash behaves like an interest free loan to the central bank.

Stuffing cash under your mattress takes it out of circulation. An inflation targeting central bank will 'print' more money to make up for the missing cash.

That new cash will be spend. (Or, if people keep stuffing it under mattresses, the central bank can just keep 'printing' money.)

In a few years, when you take the money from under your mattress and buy yourself a nice ice cream, the central bank will notice that total spending has gone up, and decrease the amount of money in the economy to keep inflation on target.

It's exactly as if you had lend out the money from under your mattress to the central bank.

(And by 'print money', I mean that they will buy assets with newly created money. Typically they buy government debt, but they can also buy stocks or gold or foreign exchange or rare Lego sets.)

In any case, it looks like we don't actually disagree on what's happening, only on how to interpret it.

I hold that stuffing money under your mattress isn't the problem here. Central bank monopoly on printing money is.

If you stuff privately issued money under your mattress, it's the private issuer that can increase its balance sheet. No government-run central bank required for this.
What do you mean "Not being allowed to go back"? You hold 'B' and it plays a sound and vibrates the controller to reinforce that something is happening. It's allowing you to go back while also preventing you from going back (and losing all your configuration) accidentally.
The gold standard (and by extension fiat because it is still very similar to a gold standard because of the existence of cash) causes artificial wealth transfers from the poor to the rich.

Let's say you own 1% of the gold of the economy. Notice that you also end up owning 1% of the savings in the economy. If an enterprising individual increases productivity and his company produces more, the value of gold will go up, leading to unearned gains in the value of your savings. Since you own 1% of the economy and the gold standard artificially enforces this against the will of other participants, you will gain a 1% share in the improvements of the company even though you have contributed nothing and taken away potential income from the entrepreneur. If the invention caused the economy to grow by 1% then the entrepreneur would expect to receive a 0.9% in the economy. That share would require everyone to give up 0.9% of their savings. Meaning your savings must go down to 0.91% of the economy. Of course, this doesn't happen in a gold standard which massively hurts the productive economy and that is exactly why there is a constant need to mine out more gold, to let new entrants into the economy as the old ones don't want to give up their gold and let it circulate in the economy. The gold standard is effectively a tool for violence and extortion.

Are you sure you watched his videos? Fred had virtually no attention to safety.

He would proudly promote that he would climb those towers after drinking pints of beer down the pub. He's a lovable person and I've watched nearly all of his TV work but safety was not his priority.
That's great! It could be used to avoiding needing multi stage builds in Docker when using JS frontend in a Python app. Assuming pip uninstall nodejs-bin work cleanly one also has easy way of keeping the image slim by uninstalling after frontend build.
"Being fired from your job is just as likely to massively reduce your ability to get your message out to others."

Sorry what ? This is objectively incorrect. If you get banned from social media - twitter, facebook/whatsapp, youtube, your messaging reach is utterly destroyed compared to simply getting fired from a job.
The Great Depression was unprecedented because prior to that no one had had the power to mess up the economy that badly. The Fed was extremely active. They made the Depression Great by contracting the money supply by a third when the economy was in recession.

Given the consequences of the Great Depression (WW2) it seems unlikely active central banks have been a net good.
> What you did, thought, said.. last year is much less valuable and useful than what you are doing today.

This isn't true for biodata or medical related data.
Outside of actions that exclusively benefit the politician (generic abuse of power, bribery, etc), that would be an impossible threshold to clear in a representative democracy - given the whole prevention-of-majority-tyranny raison d'etre.

But what we have here is nakedly self serving and at the expense of everyone who isn't them: they're refusing to release records on the grounds that they're "highly embarrassing" and capture their state of "emotional/mental distress". The only way that one could argue that it isn't self serving: by forcing them to comply with the law you establish a precedent that would discourage police departments from cowardly doing nothing as children are murdered - because the knowledge that they can't sweep their misdeeds under the rug would pressure them into doing their jobs. I look forward to hearing that argument, and how this is actually a selfless act - heroic even, in service to all future feckless cops.
Password policies? Ha! Let's start with the idiotic insistence that people use E-mail addresses as user IDs. Ever notice that security-critical sites never do this? I have yet to see a bank or brokerage enforce this dumb-shit policy.

>the kind of AI safety described in this post seems more like an extremely fancy version of program verification

It kind of is. The field of AI safety is actually much more advanced than most people realise, with actual, real techniques to e.g. make sure neural networks are aligned with certain goals even under fluctuating parameters. Granted, we're still far from soothing an AGI before it can do something bad, but the tools we have today are already pushing in that direction (assuming neural networks are the right way to AGI of course).
1. Collect data. It will help your case when you talk to management. How many incidents, when, what they relate to, how much of team time is spent on firefighting, etc.

2. Read Google’s SRE book for ideas. For example, read about error budgets in this chapter: https://sre.google/sre-book/embracing-risk/

If the goal is to have a reliable system, then the ultimate creators of unreliable systems must be made to feel the pain themselves.

For example, product can be made to “feel the pain” by not being allowed to have any new features while an engineering team fixes user-facing or business-critical bugs ultimately caused by an endless plethora of new features being requested by product on short timescales.

In one word: backpressure.

Of course, this relies on product and/or management buying into the idea, which is why data can help you argue your case. The rest of your organisation might be more receptive if you can show them how much time is being spent on incidents and bug whack-a-mole.
The negative interest rate works because your orchards don't go bust which in turn means there are enough apples for everyone putting downward pressure on prices.

I take the position that cryptos are clearly securities under the Howey test. It's pretty self-evident. As such, they must be registered in order to be traded by anyone other than an accredited investor. To be clear, this is the law of the land today. All that's missing is regulatory enforcement action.
> Any economic thought a bit further left than left-of-center gets quickly deemed "not economics."

I would encourage you to listen to actual economics experts and academics, not right-wing hacks dressed in economic cosplay. Despite their posturing, libertarians and free-market fundamentalists are just as divorced from economic reality as anyone else.

Economists in the US actually skew significantly Democrat[1] and surveys of economists on various topics generally show left-of-center leanings[2]. It's worth noting though that the political leaning of an economist need not indicate the quality of their research and plenty of good results have come from economists with atypical views.

Sounds great. How do you do that?
Central banks and macroeconomists have learned a lot since the Great Depression, mostly of the “don’t do that again” variety. For example the Fed caused the Great Depression by contracting the money supply by a third in the middle of a recession, killing US economic growth for decades. They are unlikely to repeat that mistake.
> why can't the 89-year old grandmother get supplemental insurance that covers the fancy therapies?

I think they can, but I also think that most people advocating for “Medicare for all” in the US don’t even realize supplemental private health insurance exists in many if not most European systems.

Healthcare is a systems engineering problem to explore design trade offs within a solution space. Most people don’t think of it that way.

I mean, so is FedNow and RTP and SEPA - the list goes on and on - none of which are blockchain powered. They settle instantly and finally. In the case of international transfers, the delay is intentional for regulatory and risk management purposes. Not technical reasons. So the advantage of crypto isn't technology but regulatory arbitrage.
These are the themes that get headlines in mainstream press; they’re not reflective of the distribution of actual research
Our new startup – DAAS ( design as a service)
My co-founder and I met while working for a company in the geospatial space. I was a product manager there, and he was an Ui/Ux designer. We worked closely on a number of projects during that time. We don't have any special connection, but we both love the design side of things.

Looking at the design space, we discovered that there are some major issues that people face when trying to find designers for their projects -

A significant amount of time is wasted searching on Upwork and Fiverr for a qualified designer.
Most agencies screw their clients, and they are also expensive.
Billable hours for design services are not justified, causing budgets to skyrocket in most cases.

As a result, we are launching - Design Point

Consider it the Netflix of Ui/Ux design.

A monthly / yearly subscription fee will be charged.

What will you receive?

While I'm not a huge fan of this checkbox, it is very clearly delineated in it's purpose. It's not design for design's sake, it serves one very specific purpose: To reward the user by giving them a (hopefully) satisfying interaction.

I don't see how you would think someone would try that with something as essential and utilitarian as a car accelerator.
To have access to the forefront of AI you have to be super-rich. I don’t see how AI will change that, if anything will make it harder to change by giving yet another advantage to those who already have plenty.

This indeed - the professionalism displayed by my German colleagues is incomparable to that of my erstwhile American colleagues. Much higher maturity levels even for people of the same age group. Not surprising that worker councils are also treated seriously by higher management.
> It's parroted because it's make sense. Every 'imperfection' of an economists idea has led to further concentration of capital in the hands of incumbents.

Has it? Are you talking about actual economics research or conservative politics wrapping itself in free market fundamentalism disguised as economics? It's understandable but endlessly frustrating how politics has convinced the public that economics is a bunch of libertarian nonsense.

In reality, economists actually skew significantly left of center (by US standards): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1536-7150.2007...
This is unlikely because most new-ish equipment will be traded in or is leased outright, and will go to the crusher instead of being sold on the used market. Manufacturers obviously don't want a large used market.
That makes sense - the principles seem to be quite general. But, as I understand it, replay.io records languages that use a VM by modifying the VM to help capture the non-determinism.

We started by recording languages without a VM - C/C++ - so we've implemented things at a lower level (which has advantages and disadvantages).

Coincidentally that means our tech could probably be used to record yours - and now we're doing more web stuff we ought to be using yours :-D
>Running on an efficient 550-horsepower combustion engine, Otto claims this thing will fly six passengers up to 4,500 nautical miles (8,334 km) at cruise speeds over 460 mph (740 km/h)

That is the top warbirds' speed at 1/4th power and double range. Basically a top speed for a reasonably powered propeller aircraft. Sounds like we have a winner here. I wonder if chasing hydrogen fuel cell will add a lot of costs and risks in development and various issues for users like it can be expected with a new technology. I'm all for electric, yet i think it may make sense to separate development/products - one is extremely efficient and fast plane with already great aircraft diesel, and another - the same plane (or may be adjusted as needed) with hydrogen.

"An analogy is helicopter vs train."

That again requires additional capital allocated to rich people. The government can easily ban use of helicopters and force them to accept the same price as a train. Which is what you do if you want to avoid rich people jumping the queue.

We're back to the Alton Towers example.

"Private companies have the potential to offer a more positive work culture"

All NHS GPs are private companies. Always have been. So why not become a full time GP on the NHS?

Private medicine uses up scarce resources that can be redployed to the NHS - for the benefit of all.

There is no free market economy in healthcare as I said initially. It is supply side limited by the nature of the work. And when a system is supply side limited the 'free market' just means rich people can jump the queue. Their extra money doesn't fundamentally increase supply.
> This isn't a secret. Engineers are treated this way as well.

That still doesn’t make it acceptable. People are not Bezos’ minions slaving away so he can get even richer. Even Amazon employees deserve to be treated like humans, whether the abusive culture at amazon is a secret or not.
> if the heat pump is designed to operate in very cold weather the minimum efficiency is 100% (backup resistance heating), so you will always at least break even versus pure resistance heating.

But the heat pump has a "outside" part, where there is a fan and other electrify using stuff. Can you not risk that more heat is generated outside than is moved inside?

Oh, that kind of incident management. That's just routine task management.

FEMA has something called the National Incident Management System, which is used when large scale bad stuff happens.[1] Many municipal employees get training on this, so they know what to do in a crisis. Incident commanders require substantial training. There's a certification system and even wallet cards, to keep clueless officials from trying to run things. It's not that complicated, but it's been thought through by people with dozens of disasters behind them.

There's always a single incident commander. It's usually somebody like a fire chief, not a political official.

> This reminds me a bit of the delayed-choice quantum eraser, which is one of the weirdest scientific outcomes and is the sort of thing that inspired me to pursue a physics degree. It implies a certain kind of time travel is possible, in the sense that in the present moment we can cause some past moments to collapse.

Only if you assert the copenhagen interpretation. If you instead assert that the experimenter merely becomes entangled with one part of a superposition on measurement, causality is just fine.
Slay the Spire, a deck building rogue like has very sparse animations and a "fast mode" which I enabled almost immediately. Then again, it's not a multiplayer game and has no loot, which may have influenced the decision in Hearthstone.
Yes, but that's just random SVG (xml); it would be amazing to be able to ask for specific shapes or silhouettes.
