I am currently working with a friend who is searching for remote tech jobs. I even went through the internal job board at my company. No salary ranges posted anywhere.

And while I agree salary should not be a top priority when looking at a position, it does answer one interesting question. Am I qualified for this position. You would think a job description would answer that question. But most people already know that job descriptions are wish lists, not requirements. Pay range really tells me how qualified an applicant needs to be.
with some effort the search can be automated.
> You don’t in the US. A defendant is presumed innocent and needs to be proven guilty by a finder of fact.

This isn’t about the US, and if it was in the US, it would be moot, because opinion is categorically protected, so you wouldn’t have to prove (on either side) whether it was honestly held.

Outside of the US, it is not uncommon for libel standards to be quite different and for the defense to have the burden of proof in things like truth, honest belief, etc. (where they are elements of defenses) once the plaintiff has established that the statements were harmful, and published by the defendant.
Knowledge for what? What do we want to know? Is it for the sake of putting in a text book or showing neat pictures in a museum that people will forget about by the next exhibit?

What did spending billions getting to the moon get us, bragging rights? What tangible benefit have we gotten from the space station and other space missions?
> "just 1% of the population own half the land in England"

This is idea in same level as quantitative easing, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing) "Lets give rich people money so they recover economy" what happens "Rich people use that money £895 billion buy stocks, so they inflate market even more and not even penny trickles down to ordinary people, so they become even poorer.

Paying rich people that own land to sequester carbon is equally, (not sure which word to use) ... evil, diabolic as QE scam for the rich.
Probability is high that they will use that money not to plant trees but to buy more land, even more increasing gap between wealthy and poor.

So, my question is when does wealthy people greed and naivety of poor ends?
It should be pointed out that conservation and reserves are not enough. We have got to be restoring land with native plants, in particular land in urban environments.

Keep in mind it’s really easy to trick yourself into believing the salaries you’re offering are aggressive.

I bet 80% of companies would say they have above average salaries.

For instance we have a neural-cognitive "bias" toward recognizing moving versus stationary objects. Our attention is prejudiced in favor of things-that-move. This is useful when it comes to detecting potential predators, prey, mates, etc. So a lack of a bias can be a defect to the economic actor.

> Of the top reasons people are happy at work, salary is way down on the list

You're conflating being happy at work and being happy to accept a job offer. You can be pretty well paid, and end up being not happy, and vice-versa.

If the offer is not good enough, the applicant won't accept it. What happens after you join a company doesn't have to be related to how much you get paid -- although it can be, sometimes.
Lol what. It's the title of the article. OP said "It is", referring to the title, that it is a good investment.

"Most Americans think NASA’s $10 billion space telescope is a good investment" in case you missed it.
Tried Speechify on my phone and found it terrible. Hated the navigation and found the pricing model ridiculous. Deleted it and stuck with Voice Dream Reader. It’s the first app I install on every iPhone, and where I keep all my reading - articles, ebooks, and even physical books which I scan just so I can read them inside VDR. I can read with my eyes. I can listen to the text while doing other things. And I can take highlights and notes and export them.

This also is my answer to OP. I save these articles to VDR. And when I have time to read or listen to something, I open the app. It helps that VDR shows me the length of each document in terms of reading time. When you ask me how long a particular book was, I’ll say “It’s a 12 hour book”. Really helps to put things in perspective.
But Japan has always been a tech labor-shortage economy. That should incentivize employers to be advertising compensation. I am probably understanding your answer wrong. Could you please elaborate?
It isn't. Plus I get to pay in cash at a store and look at the product and handle it a bit before making a decision.
It’s unfortunate but it will correct in time. It already is, we see Netflix declining to remove his special.

Others like Andrew Schulz have bought back their specials and self-released, only to make 3x more in gross.
I think a tab closing could mean it crashed. I'm not sure a page can actually close itself like that.
Honestly, no idea. There's no easy way to police it. We've only ever caught one perp and it was just from someone tweeting at us about it. Yes, platforms like Apple and Spotify will generally try to keep copycats out of their catalogs, but since RSS feeds can come from anywhere, it's pretty easy to setup a fake feed and findable in Google.
>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.

If the majority of miners agree to it then the rest of the network either goes along with it, or they're forced to do a hard fork themselves.

>An unintentional hard fork, or an intentional one like BCH?

For the end user just trying to make a payment, it's irrelevant whether it's intentional or not, either way he is now faced with the spitting of his coins and the resulting chaos.

>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

This is also a useless distinction for users, either way hyperinflation or hyperdeflation are both catastrophic.

>That only works insofar as users (irrationally) trust stablecoins disproportionately compared to bitcoin.

Any trust in any cryptocurrency is irrational, there's nothing that actually guarantees any of these coins won't collapse tomorrow. They're all based on ponzi economics. What's the actual value of a bitcoin? There just isn't one.
> with the better candidates responding to the ones without salary ranges

Do you have hard, objective evidence to back this up? Very easy to imagine someone reading their personal biases into this observation.
I just don't see it going away. Services like Coinbase have done more for adoption than any crypto-evangelists on message boards ever have if we're being honest with ourselves. People need it to feel familiar, and these pseudo-banks/stock exchange platforms feel close enough to the "real thing" that people are making the jump. I mean the fact that over a decade later and wallets are still this incredibly high-friction experience for users says a lot. Just having an easy place where you go "input debit card, get crypto," makes all the difference - and that's a service large exchanges have covered, thus locking people into their platform(s).

Edit: Also, Uniswap...ehhhh. Not a great example for your point.
Or, just give them a monthly stipend to cover any/all costs. They file once, get thee stupid, maybe re-up annually or every few years. It's not like their costs are going to go away - being disabled is just more costly.

Italy has(had?) a similar program for residents with celiac disease (requires a gluten-free diet). It's a max 140 euro/month stipend to cover the higher costs of groceries.
Reducing wealth and income inequality is an outcome, not a tangible goal. It's the same as ending police violence against black people. That is actually a more tangible goal because that can be directly controlled by the government. It also had no shortage of support for the "donor class." Yet BLM was still ineffective because it still lacked focus.
Undeveloped financial and security processes aren't a question of solely integrity.

You need integrity to implement them, but just having integrity doesn't mean you're going to implement them, or to implement them correctly.

You need expertise, experience, and to get burned a couple dozen times before your institution figures out how to do these things right. And even then, it's a constantly moving target.
Whether or not I enjoy working somewhere is a secondary consideration. My primary consideration is my ability to support my family. If I didn’t need an income to support my family, I wouldn’t look for a job in the first place.

Once I have a job, I’ve already agreed that the salary is adequate, or else I wouldn’t have accepted the job offer. So the salary isn’t going to be a factor for me one way or the other afterwards. But that’s a different question from whether salary is a factor before you go through the hiring process.
On newer firmware versions, we've added the ability to set a charge limit on the battery. By setting the limit to 60-80%, you can also keep the battery healthier for longer. We don't recommend keeping the battery unplugged both to avoid cycling the connector too often and because it'll limit peak performance. Unless you plug in a 100W power adapter, hitting peak Boost power requires briefly drawing off of the battery in addition to the power adapter.
Their donor base is the same. So they stick together on the issues that are about value and money instead of values.
I've understood it to be a bit more nuanced than that. If you were to perform two queries:

Query 1 -> join Table A with Table B, both have 1M records

Query 2 -> Filter Table A to 10k records, then join Table A with Table B (1M records)

I would expect Query 2 to execute faster - I don't think the exec plan would've optimized Query 1 equivalently.
The point is that you don’t need to converse. Most things are passively consumed — articles etc. by the vast majority of people who come away convinced or reshare them.

GPT-3 can bullshit many things convingly enough and at scale to make people reshare and vouch for it. Also, other chatbots can leave comments and reshare masquerading as real opinionated supporters in a “mob” and likewise barely answer you.

Remember… it’s not that you the one person who talks to them has to be convinced. It’s that your existing forums and chats and platforms can be gradually infiltrated with bots that convince OTHERS the vast majority of whom never did a turing test.

Think of how your opinion was formed on many political things, it likely happened non-interactively by just consuming articles and comments, and seemingly “defeated” arguments of OTHERS who could have all been bots.

>The ads performed equally well in regard to total responses with the better candidates responding to the ones without salary ranges.

Were these better candidates within the budgeted salary range though? Or were they priced too high?
Yeah but I’d like the doctor to interpret it for me. Especially on parameters that have dependencies.
Oh that reminds me of something I worked on from long ago.

Not sure I'd use LP for Travelling Salesman[1] but I think it can be applied to production planning for scheduling in factories. That at least seems similar to what these construction workers are doing.

I think I recall that a floating point linear program will solve much faster than an integer one, at least with Simplex algorithm which is the only one I've ever really used.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to set up operation scheduling problems so that the decision variables become either 1.0 or 0.

i.e.

1.0: do this operation at this preset time
- or -
0: don't do it.

Does that sound about right?

It was a long time ago that I did any LP though and I'm very rusty, so many pinches of salt recommended to be taken with this comment. :)

1. It'll work for Travelling Salesman but I suspect it will probably be too slow for anything not trivial.
To follow up on this point. It's not just the amount that is about pay either... it's the fact that, during the job seeking process, you as an employer respect me enough to be transparent about what you're paying.

And, on a personal note, transparent wages are known to help break underpayment cycles where workers have been repeatedly underpaid and at each new opportunity their compensation is based on "Well what did you make in your previous job?" - a lack of pay transparency can end up giving people with social difficulties or who are of a visible minority much less take home. I want to work at a company where everyone is respected and valued because those companies are more successful in the long term. "Those who would give up company morale, to purchase a little temporary profit, deserve neither profits nor morale." - Benjamin Franklin (probably)
Hi everyone, this is a passion project of mine that started after I've dealt with so many yaml-based CI solutions.

Please let me know what you think. I'm happy to answer any questions or engage in discussion :)
The data lake problem is specifically due to microservices or SOA. People love to separate customers from orders until they realize that you want to do complex filtering on customers and join it to their orders. Then everyone says "oh crap" when they realize they've created a problem without a great solution.
This is incorrect regarding UK law

Firstly the plaintiff must satisfy the judge that the specific act of defamation could have caused actual harm to their reputation. (This is probably the cause of your confusion, but it's a new bit actually intended to make it harder to sue for defamation/libel than before). If they don't do that, there's no case to answer even if the claims were tendentious and malicious.

If the plaintiff succeeds in that claim, the defendant can attempt to use the defence of honest opinion (or alternatively prove that on the balance of probability that the claim was true)

Obviously that's a tougher law on defendants than jurisdictions where the plaintiff has to prove that the claim is false and prove that the defendant knew it was false, but it's still quite easy to intentionally harm people's reputation by publishing things which are true, or simply a matter of opinion about their general character.
We work with a number labs throughout the US to provide our at-home testing API. We handle the supplies for the kits but the actual testing is carried out by our partner laboratories. We have a physician network that handles the requisition process for ordering, and have turned that into API that any developer can use.
A Data Platform for React
A few month ago my roommates and I started building Rubbrband(https://rubbrband.com). It's a platform that helps you monitor and modify your users' Redux states, LocalStorage, and browser cache all from your browser.

Why did we start working on this?

We want to make the data layer on the client-side less siloed from developers. This is obviously hard because each client's device is remote and is typically part of one-way communication.

Essentially we're building the set of tools that we each wanted as developers building web apps that go into production. One of the main issues we found is that most frontend bugs we've found came from some sort of a data state issue, which got extremely frustrating when the code went into production since you'd have to talk to the customer, get on a call, etc... We wanted a simple way to monitor the user's app, contextualize it in the grander scheme of the data models and application structure, and ideally push out an OTA update that would patch bugs.

What's included

- A simple React library to monitor Redux, and LocalStorage states

- Monitoring user's LocalStorage and Redux states in a clean dashboard, tied together with User data

- Client-side and Server-side API for serverless caching, with support for GoLang and Node.js

I'd love to get feedback on what you think

Mainly I'm interested in these questions:

- Does this solve a pain point that you face as a Frontend developer?

- What features would you want to see built out?

Thanks a ton!

>If your primary reason for responding to an ad is based upon salary you are not going to be happy where you work. I promise.

I don't know man, if I got paid a metric *!&@ ton of money to do a really garbage job, I may very well be happy doing it for 12mo and building a big fat nest egg, or clearing major debt.

Many of us are willing to sacrifice QoL/workplace culture/etc. if the price is right. If we don't know the salary upfront, you're simply asking us to invest time and energy (and maybe even fall for a sunk cost situation) for the promise that we maybe guessed the magic number you could have told us out the gate. Not to mention if I'm talking to 2 companies I need all the information I can possibly get my hands on to make an informed decision.

We don't have to love our jobs. Some do, some don't. But you don't get to presume what motivates us or, better still, tell us our motivations are wrong. That's up to us to decide.
"the law of the land" is a really shitty argument for supporting something when its questioned. its an unfair burden on small businesses. large enough ones probably get enough business it makes sense to install.

That doesn't seem to carry the implication of an expected return-on-investment in a financial sense. Something can be a good investment and nonetheless operate at a loss.

So to answer your question: the expected return is fundamental/hard science being performed that will lead to potential (but unknown) improvements to our understanding of astronomy, physics, and generally speaking our understanding of the fundamental fabric of our universe.

Another way to look at it without making it look bigger than it is by omitting zeros from 144 million and including the zeros from the much smaller number:

I would have no problem with a company saying "We really like you, but we found a better match for role x. If you're interested we think you'd be great in role y and here are the details." If I don't like the compensation of role y, I'll simply decline.
The differences in treatment effect are in relation to the recipient's biological sex, so it's unnecessary to take gender preference into account.

hey HN, we use used to run an ML consultancy for a year that helped companies build & host models in prod. We learned how tedious & expensive it was to host ML. Customer models had to run on a fleet of always-on GPUs that would often get <10% utilization, which felt like a big money sink.

Over time we built infrastructure to improve GPU utilization. Six months ago we made a pivot to focus solely on productizing this infra into a hosting platform for ML teams to use that would remove the pain of deployment and reduce the cost of hosting models.

We deploy on A100 GPUs, and you pay per second of inference. If you aren’t running inferences you pay nothing. Couple points to clarify: Yes, the models are actually cold-booted, we aren’t just running them in the background. We boot models faster due to how we manage OS memory. Yes, there is still cold-boot time, it’s not instant but it’s significantly faster (e.g., 15 seconds instead of 10 minutes for some transformers like GPTJ).

Lastly, model quality is not lost on Banana because we aren’t doing traditional weight quantization or network pruning which makes networks smaller/faster but sacrifices quality. You can think of Banana more as a compiler + hosting platform. We break down your code to run faster on GPUs.
