I'm glad for this finding, I suppose, but the world discriminates against disabled people in many more ways than this without any obvious recourse. As just a personal example, I'm over 6 ft with 10 screws in my spine and really can't ride in the back seat of a standard sedan for more than a few minutes without being in quite a bit of pain. Ever since Uber started the "no passengers in the front seat" policy thanks to Covid, that means I can only take Uber XL, which costs more no matter what. It's even worse for air travel, since I can only travel 1st class for anything more than a local flight. Airlines are only annoying most people when they squeeze us for space to the bare minimum of an average-sized, completely healthy person, but for others, they've giving us spasms and leaving us hobbled for hours after the flight.
Minecraft does not have these limitations though, there is an insane amount of user content and mods outside of the MS store, so why bring them in to argue your crypto narrative?
Indeed. Some people defend war spending by saying that it leads to, say, medial advances. Seems to me that you can fund medical research without spending a trillion dollars sending humans around the planet, causing another trillion in infrastructure damage, air-conditioning tents in a desert, blowing limbs off the aforementioned humans, flying them home and then still spending the money on the research to fix them (and in the US especially, then also denying these hard-won fruits of this whole taxpayer-funded endeavour to the taxpayers).

I've had my 11th gen Framework for ~ 5 months now and I really want to love it but I've stopped recommending it to others because of the battery issues.

The biggest problem is that it drains 1-2% per hour in deep sleep on Linux. That means if you leave it asleep in your bag after work it will be between 15-30% lower when you go to use it the next morning. People on the forums[0] are even seeing up to a 4% per hour drain. I don't know what is common with other laptops but I can't say I've ever had to think about sleep drain before.

I've just ordered the 12th gen board upgrade with fingers crossed it helps but really consider going back to a ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

That exists? Are there examples of this, especially once where there is a good reason for this? I cannot even begin to list all the awful issues with this in my head.
I agree generally, but my feeling is that fixing bugs is usually harder, because a good chunk of the time, you don't know the code you're looking at, whereas with feature development, it's all greenfield. At least in most environments.

> Compensation and Benefits to Disclose. Employers must include in each job posting (1) the rate of
compensation (or a range thereof), including salary and hourly, piece, or day rate compensation; (2) a general

the employer is offering for the position. Benefits that must be generally described include health care,

It seems kind of disingenuous to dismiss useful bills like infrastructure ones as "minor" and "few". A single bill can contain many changes and carry huge amounts of funding, like HR3684 or perhaps better known as the "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act". Seems like a pretty major omission from your bill summary.

I'm not sure what you're expecting, The US Congress doesn't and shouldn't be passing a lot of huge sweeping changes every single year. When it's not passing huge sweeping economic changes, legislative bookkeeping is another critical job. It's not "nothing substantial". Planning bills, department/agency confirmations, and grant renewals are all important duties that keep the country running which does impact 99% of us.

The OP's comment did not say "Congress doesn't move fast enough", it said Congress doesn't do anything beyond expand police/military and social issues. That's evidently not true.

Relativity and quantum mechanics have been paradigm shifts in our understanding of the world. They were immediately recognized as such.

A discovery of equal impact today would be the unification of those two. The Higgs boson doesn't even come close to the importance of the Schrodinger equation, and neither does QCD even.

Similarly, imaging a black hole is nowhere near close to the discovery of general relativity, which fundamentally and almost immediately changed how we interpret celestial mechanics.

Let me put it another way. Take a person who was well versed in the state of the art of technology and science in 1950 and bring them to the current time: all their wildest dreams about what we could do will have been fulfilled.

But bring a similar person from 1890 to 1950, and they will not be able to recognize a single thing about the state of science and technology. They will not have been able to imagine anything that they would be seeing. That is how fundamentally the world changed in that period.

I don't think it's true that companies "can't hire". Many companies are freezing hiring for now given economic conditions, and the market equilibrium between supply and demand while still apparently candidate centric is nowhere near as favorable as it was a year ago, and the pendulum continues to swing the other way.

Nonetheless, to your point, whether salary ranges are posted or not is likely a moot point. The truth is you might see anywhere near 50-100% dispersion for a role. Figure out what range or number you're looking for, see if they can offer it on the first call, and go from there. If you're really insistent on that as a prescreen, do what I did when I was in your shoes and use a platform like Hired that lets you prescreen offers.

I just think that if I were you, I would be careful about having an attitude that implies "I know why you can't hire and you don't." The process you are in is much more similar to dating than it is to a standardized test being taken. Top hiring managers at top companies are not having trouble hiring (myself included) because they are not squeaky wheels. We're hiring silently, paying above market, getting inbound referrals. And similarly, top candidates are not having trouble sourcing multiple offers because they can command a premium (which was always the case for me when the shoe was on the other foot).

My advice to you would be to rely on your skills and ability to get competing offers which you play against each other to do the heavy lifting of increasing your salary. Then it won't matter whether companies post salary ranges or not. If, on the off chance you aren't able to get multiple competing offers, then I think you have your work cut out for you and I would highly recommend to sharpen your interviewing abilities first as that will serve your career very well in the long run.

How could the miners soft fork to increase the bitcoin supply? That would be a hard fork, because they will not be able to spend those "higher" coinbase outputs, which are seen as lower to the rest of the network.

>An uncoordinated group can also hard fork the network

What are you talking about? An unintentional hard fork, or an intentional one like BCH?

>The idea that bitcoin is inflation proof is simply nonsense, even ignoring all the analysis

The idea that you can make inferences based on technical analysis alone is based on flawed assumptions.

The bitcoin block reward distribution is not finished yet, so it is too early to say. But I predict that it will be too deflationary, which will harm the network in the long run by creating incentives for selfish mining attacks [0].

>the stablecoin issuers can cause that themselves just by printing infinite numbers of stablecoins and dumping them onto the bitcoin market

That only works insofar as users (irrationally) trust stablecoins disproportionately compared to bitcoin. Eventually they will cash out and the ponzi scheme will fall apart.

Another option for the UK would be to abolish or substantially reduce the monarchy, and include a one-off wealth tax on the aristocracy.

A huge swathe of the land in the UK is owned by the crown and individual royals, with ownership lineage being extremely dubious if you don’t accept the concept that the monarchy has a God-granted right to dominion over the people.

Taking the crown estate back into the trust of the people would be a good start.

Also, worth noting: most insurers and health networks pay somewhat poorly & have a ton of overhead around filing and notes for claims. As a result, many independent clinicians just don't accept insurance; many will set aside some capacity to do pro-bono or sliding scale work for folks that have trouble affording full price services. If your needs are profound and specialized, you may benefit from looking beyond your insurer.
But these kinds of mistakes can kill an early stage startup.

I was fortunate enough to see one at the bottom of the garden the other day, through a pair of binoculars. I can thoroughly recommend butterfly spotting if you need a spot of relaxation.
Agree in principle.

My approach would not be quite that categorical/binary though, for couple of reasons

1. Sometimes salary ranges are wide enough to not be meaningful - i.e. 80-200k

2. When I'm in the hiring manager role these days, there are roles for which I have limited to no flexibility; but also roles for which I have or can fight for flexibility for the right candidate. If I post e.g. (random numbers) 100-120 Croatian Lipa, for some roles that's hard limit, for others it's the middle section of a bell curve: If I get an exceptional candidate way at the tail of bell curve, I may be able to obtain exceptional compensation. (why not just post that in the first place? See #1. Answers/solutions are easy only if you don't consider enough questions/cases/consequences:).

So if I were looking for a job (not currently), and I see a posting with an interesting role on a very interesting project at a supremely interesting company, I might approach the interview more as "open the door slightly, peak inside, and see what we can come up with for mutual benefit", rather than a strictly interpreted formal requirements description.
I've owned every generation of them but the b/w screen models really hit the sweet spot. Would trade in any iPhone if something similar with modern connectivity became available. Psion had better keyboards and software but obv. lacked the modem.

That's at least as true in bigco as in startups and small companies.

I tried MacOS recently for about a month and was shocked at how bad scrolling was with my Logitech MX Vertical mouse. The third-party app Mos solved it pretty much perfectly.

The job I have now and am happy with, I would not have applied for if the "official" salary range had been published. What ultimately sold me were intangible things that I only discovered after being in a conversation with them. And it turned out there was enough other flexibility for things to fall into place.

The range is often a leaky abstraction anyway. As a hiring manager I've wanted flexibility for the right candidates. As a candidate I've wanted to know that comp is more personalized than arbitrarily capped by a bureaucratic process.
> > In other words, and paradoxically, work in labor-intensive jobs will be the last to be automated.

This I'm a little suspicious of, because of all tasks human did throughout history, labour-intensive stuff has _always_ been automated the most, and we didn't need AI to do it. Stuff like combine harvesters, sewing machines, more recently car-building robots, automated vast swathes of manual labor. Maybe AI won't be the deciding technology for automating what's left, but advances in robotics may well be.
There's not even a convolutional layer provided as a building block. This project looks pretty dead to me: most of the code is 8 years old, and the last code-changing commit is over 2 years old. I guess it's okay as a proof of concept for ML with Lisp, but I don't think anyone interested in ML would actually consider using it.
Then it free-runs at about 60Hz (50Hz). It only has to synchronize with the grid if it is exchanging power with the grid.

The Old School way of synchronizing a generator with the grid is to connect a light bulb between each leg of the two disconnected grids and then adjust the generator speed until the light bulbs extinguish. As the two get closer to synchronization, the light bulbs will go bright and dim slower and slower. When they go out, you close the grid connection switch.

When the switch is closed, adding power to the generator (e.g. gas to the engine) doesn't significantly affect the speed of the generator because the grid absorbs the power (conceptually it is "pushing" energy into the grid). If you reduce the motive power (e.g. throttle down the engine), the "generator" will effectively become a motor and will keep the engine spinning at the same speed.

> presidential campaigns are explicitly planned to maximize electoral college votes.

Well, no, they have numerous objectives, many of which are in tension. In rough order of priority for a typical Presidential general election campaign, though there is considerable variation from campaign to campaign:

(1) Maximizing the probability of at least 270 EC votes (this can be quite different, and conflict with, maximizing the expected total number of EC votes), because that’s how you win,

(2) Maximizing downballot coattails, because that’s how you get people in position to pass your agenda into place, and get the people that are in that position to see you as important to their position,

(3) Maximizing EC and Popular vote totals, both of which are important to the perception of a mandate, which helps your agenda.

> Why do you say insider trading is legal for non-securities?

What, exactly, prohibits you from doing that? Certainly not the Securities Act of 1933 or any SEC rule.

Overall maybe this is a complicated way of officially calling them securities and cleaning this mess on a higher level. At least that's what the FBI implies. However, it is not up to the FBI to decide what is a security, but rather up to the courts of law. This will be interesting.
whether you fork from bitcoin or just create another alt coin, they just don't have enough critical mass to compete with the originals.

> worse than whatever you think is happening to the US dollar.

Bitcoin is risky: it's down over 70% from it's highest point. But the dollar is down over 98%! (from 100 years ago) and let's not forget, the rate at which the dollar and other fiats are crashing is getting faster and faster. at 10%, you'll loose half your purchasing power in just 7 years.
This is true.

I respond to most recruiters now that I won't even talk to them without a salary range. And then they send it right over.
It's actually a useful interview question in some positions, like embedded.

> if grant applications are valued enough (e.g., needed to get promotion), scientists may be willing to spend even more time than is rational to do so

This isn't worded properly. It's clearly rational for the scientists to spend time on the pursuit of grants. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

$100 in grant money is not the same as $100 in university income. In fact, the whole point of the grant is to cover the cost of doing research, and in principle should leave the university's net revenue unchanged. (In practice, overhead changes that, but that's a different topic.)

The problem is that the university's objective is to spend as much on research as possible. Grant money is simply the fuel for that process. All else equal, more expensive research is very strongly preferred, because that increases research spending, and that improves the standing of the university.

That is a seriously distorted set of incentives. All perfectly rational. Just insanely stupid.
https://www.coloradoexcluded.com/ <- last year, when this requirement began, several companies started refusing to accept job applications from Colorado residents to avoid having to post salary ranges, and someone made this webpage to name and shame these employers.

Yes, because they can lie, and because given how the Play store operates, Google is probably going to be worse than Apple at detecting lies, it’s nice to see permissions because they function as an upper bound on the extent of the lie. And while there are issues with using permissions for this because they are not always easy to interpret, they often are, so the benefit is clear.
