Not surprised. Meta/Facebook are making it really hard to use their platform nowadays. Why is this?

I run or should I say I ran several Facebook pages with large audiences. I've verified my identity numerous times yet again and again I get a notice saying I can't post as I'm not authorized to post to large audiences (all pages I built from scratch). I DM support and they tell me to "check my browser" then spend 30 mins chatting to get to the problem and they can't offer any help. The funny thing is I can still post Ads for these pages but not post anything "organic". The platform has become annoying and very tiring to use.

That's one of the differences. Better metal is another; calipers used in anger will suffer wear and good ones last longer.

Calipers are something you want working when you reach for them. If you leave them in a box for a month and the batteries are dead when you need them it's a big frustration. I get about 2 years from Mitutoyo calipers used a couple times a week.

Buy once, cry once. The downsides besides the price is that you're a bit more circumspect about what sort of crevice or hole you're willing to poke it into and, like all good tools, once a thief knows you a set they never forget...
I'd say, go for it!

I've been on a similar lifestyle for about 9 years now, and I don't plan on stopping.

This may sound counter intuitive, but one thing that worked so well for me is to book a place for a shorter period (like a week), and then look for a place to stay longer. I like to feel the place for myself before making a commitment. It's also easier to negotiate a better deal when you meet the owner face to face.

Shipping travel trunks can be annoying most of the time though. Within the same country, it will be cheap and convenient. Across countries, not at all. Even within the Schengen zone, moving a large trunk can get expensive, and unless the place you stay has an elevator, it will be inconvenient as well.

Assuming you lived at your current place for a long time, you might get snail mails often. I'd arrange a way to get them scanned and emailed to me if I were you, or get one of those services and gradually change the mailing address there.
So basically like the Google glass ukelele demo that never came to pass.

It's getting there though. Vuzix have made really nice flat AR displays for their Blade. They just don't have a clue how to sell them afaik.

I’m sure that’s true some of the time. I wouldn’t say it’s true most of the time.
The sites I've found to be at least making an honest evaluation are:

choice.com.au (Australian context, Aus version of consumer reports) Their reviews just seem to miss the mark sometimes, but at least you can count on the fact its an honest take so you can kind of pick specific facts from the reviews and take them as true, maybe don't rely on their overall recommendations though. funded through magazine/web subscritoions

rtings.com - tech stuff, detailed and with a good table tool for comparison. funded through subscriptions

notebookcheck.com - funded by ads, but does a very good job of highly detailed and consistent reviews. same as choice where you don't necessarily follow their recommendation, but they give you lots of information that you can compare. Their model is a red flag, but my impression is of general trustworthiness.

I subscribe to choice and rtings to support them because honest brokers are so rare in this space.
You're kind of right: I'm generally pretty pessimistic about systemic change in big systems where I'm merely a pawn. Though it definitely happens regularly! So hopefully the existing unions change and things move forward!

I am not saying that job protections hinder all innovation. But the "liquidity" of labor most certainly gives companies more control and an easier time making changes in many ways. I think that has an undeniable upside for instance with startups who want to push growth to the max without worrying much about possible troubles later.

And I think safety and comfort in tech doesn't come from the particular employer but rather how sought after tech employees currently are.

Anyway, I'm talking specifically about tech and tech innovation here: for other industries things are again slightly different. And I do really think that job protections definitely drive innovation in established and stable organizations!
I fully agree that nobody wants to strap a big set of googles, but I'm also willing to bet that more and more of our lives will take place in "cyberspace".

I'm willing to bet in the distant future almost all our lives will be virtual because it is simply so much cheaper than physical things.

Our video games will become more immersive, I would not be surprised if a generation or two a family holiday could be a week inside a video game.

Our work conference calls are becoming more and more immersive. I would not be surprised if work from home and work in the office eventually meet in the middle where you are physically at home but with a virtual representation sitting in a vertical office, where communication and collaboration are easy.

I think VR/AR will see huge adoption a lot sooner. I see a few prerequisites:
- Hi-res screens (no more screen door effect).
- No external hardware needed: no desktop, no base stations, and no controllers.
- Capable of 100% VR, 100% pass-through, and everything in between. In other words, VR and AR no longer refer to different hardware but rather different modes.
- Under $500.

Some units have some of those qualities but none have all of them. I can see units having all of those qualities within the next 10 years.

Perhaps they care about the mission. Perhaps they care about the customers. Perhaps they want to ensure the work they've been working on was not made in vain. You seem to see work as purely satisfying the lower ranks of Maslow's hierarchy, but for many workers it is also a means of self-actualization.

The market sorts out wages and conditions. I will assume you are not talking about developers because they have so many choices at all different salary ranges that are higher than many other industries.

Contractors in minimum wage roles would be the only candidate for unions.
We are talking about stock/option grants though. You have to factor in what you think the grant will be worth over the vesting period. A lot can happen to a public stock over 4 years and your grant can easily be worth an order of magnitude less once it vests.

Cash to a lesser extent has this problem as well that you don’t know how much a dollar will be worth in four years, but it most likely less volatile than the value of equity.

I would value a 4 year 500k grant in apple stock much higher than a 4 year 500k grant in a crypto company because I believe the apple grant will better hold it’s value over the vesting period.

I’m not sure how you’d square that with the idea of “freedom of association.”

> Morals are relative and change overtime which causes culture wars like the one we’re in now.

Indeed. Your proposal would halt that process. Is that healthy? Who would that benefit, and who would that harm?

> It benefits all to reduce the impact of these wars - ie, when people are operating within the law they should not be punished.

And the law does not punish them. I don’t think it ethical or moral to enshrine such viewpoint protection in the law. No group should be able to legally force someone to like them.

And frankly, that’s not what’s happening today. Nobody is being legally forced to accept LGBTQ people.

> This means that we need laws we can all agree on…but that is a much more solvable problem than the mob rule we currently have.

I don’t know how you’d solve that problem, short of coercion.
A close friend of mine once told me:

"You are ALWAYS being interviewed"

I didn't really understand what she meant, until a couple of years later a good opportunity came up from seemingly nowhere. I couldn't figure out how or why it happened, and it eventually ended up from a half dozen links in recommendations over the span of a year or more, all happening in the background.

I really enjoyed reading your comment, everything there resonates strongly.

Impressions matter, people and networks matter, and being honest to who you are and being brave enough to show that to the world in a respectful way pays off in the long run.

And to tie it back to the original poster, instead of relying on job ads, also engaging with networks of people to find others can be hugely beneficial. These networks are bidirectional. People will make recommendations based on how your company behaves and what it is like to work there.
"link" would end up meaning steal it all for CA agriculture.

Honestly I feel that kids will learn on their own and we should allow them to explore, unless you mean kids below 10 and in that case just block the internet and let them use computers offline

Edit: when I say learn on their own I mean we have to teach them to use the internet responsibly and instead of sneaking on web traffic or blocking particular sites we need to educate them about it. Communication is always the best solution to most problems
Obviously "doing your own research" is good but I think the question is totally reasonable in a tech forum where probably a very large percentage of people here have gone through this process. Also, they asked specifically about Apple. Companies that are sitting on massive amounts of cash and have trillion dollar valuations don't disappear over night, they're not gonna "drop out of the S&P" any time in the foreseeable future.
Don’t forget “social infrastructure” - a good place to raise a family. Parks aren’t filled with homeless. Schools have students who take learning seriously.

I see 2 weak points, possibly 3:

#1 "Resume screened by in-house recruiter", my experience is that they are not very well versed at "screening", they leave out individuals who are 97% qualifies, at the same time they screen in technically unqualified individuals who know how to play the "screening game". Get someone technical to do the screening.

#2 "though salary isn't posted in the ad" if it's good, why not disclose it?

#3 (Maybe) who does the 30m call? see #1 above.
For whatever reason (probably just inertia), JR has been highly resistant to adopt dynamic pricing, so Shinkansen tickets costs the same regardless of whether you travel at absolute peak or when the trains are rattlingly empty.

Likewise. I do envy the GP. Currently looking for work, and this has not been my experience.
We desperately need a revised CAN-SPAM[1], with two additional fangs: additional prohibitions on these sorts of dark patterns (designed to exhaust users into submission), and the opening of individual standing against companies that spam (so that individuals can directly sue these misbehaving companies rather than waiting for the FTC to un-capture itself).

> Alternatively, perhaps pay people to complete the assignments.

That doesn't solve the majority of the "senior position" problem.

Like you point out, your schedule does not have a "spare" 4 hour block in it, and paying you $1000 to find one is not going to make you jump at the opportunity if the alternative is a different role that is not asking for a 4 hour block of your family time.

Anybody recruiting for "senior roles" needs to understand the 30-40 year olds, who are the only people who have the professional experience you're seeking, cannot be recruited like fresh college grads who can blast through pointless coding tests between 11pm and 3am, and do that 3 or 4 times a week and at least some off whom will genuinely enjoy doing so.

My first production code shipped for MacOS 7.5 and Windows 3.1. I am still shipping production code (although only rarely since these days I'm mostly managing a team rather than coding daily). I am _not_ going to do your take home 4hr assignment no matter who you are or what you're offering. Asking me to do it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of who I am, and I am not going to take a job with someone who knows that little about me. (And I have way better things to do with my free time than your pointless test)

Dude, if your wife is getting up multiple times a night, you really ought to consider stepping in and helping out. True males can't do the feeding, but if there is anyway you can help out with this, I guarantee your wife will be grateful. If your kids sleep then ignore this, but sleep deprivation is hell (to most people). My wife and I both worked and we slept in 4 hour shifts, then when they slept more, we went to night on then night off. Saved our marriage.
NextDoor: home of the dumbest people on the Internet. They must be proud of that.

There are occasionally things I want to see on there: a new Costco going in where the OSH Hardware used to be, or whatnot. So I got the daily email digest. One email per day -- tolerable.

Then it stopped coming. I wrote to Support, and their guy swore it was still being sent! I said "no, it's not. I looked in Spam and Trash." He swore again that it was going out, and I should "check with my email provider."

I asked "How do you know they're going out? Did you look in the Sent folder?" He got all sniffy and said "We are unable to disclose anything about our internal operations." Ooh, big secret!

So I wrote to the Nextdoor handle on Twitter. They told me there was an experiment going on. I asked if they could take me out of it. They did and all was good again.

Except other people on Nextdoor were also unhappy about being in the experiment, and asked me how I got out of it. I told them; they tried it; Nextdoor now refused to do it for them.

Think about it -- almost every site on the Web is trying to get you to sign up for a daily email. Nextdoor already has one, and they're trying to take it away.

My wife and I listened to that on a road trip and enjoyed it as well! The part that really sticks with me is how people were trying to drop weights off of the Tower of Pizza and use classical philosophy to figure out why the balls wanted to accelerate. Galileo pointed out that the reason why doesn't matter in experiments, it's the outcome that comes first and everything else follows. I was shocked that something like that was a huge breakthrough at the time.

As an aside, if you're ever in Florence, Italy, pay a visit to the Galileo museum. You'll get to see his desiccated fingers and a huge collection of medieval astronomical instruments that were as much art as science. Galileo's experimental devices looked a lot like things you'd see in a high school today, except made from beautiful wood and brass. It really blew me away.
> The equivalent in tech is asking for a portfolio, which I have an ample amount of on github. I'm more than happy to hand this over to potential employers for them to gauge my work.

I don't have a very large open source portfolio, but I it's probably bigger than 95% of the people I work with, I don't think my open source work is particularly representative of my abilities.

Companies want to have a somewhat standardized hiring process so that they can evaluate candidates fairly, and most professional developers people don't do much open source work.

Someone having an impressive open source portfolio, might be a good signal that they are a great hire, but I don't think it's a good general strategy for hiring.
