This is a feature the Verge has been doing for a while now where every product they review includes a section specifically for how many screens of EULAs you have to click through. If you don't follow them regularly you won't be familiar with it, but if you do, you recognize this as a standard feature of their reviews.
I think this admin is incompetent at communication and created the narrative you just expressed.

The lockdown and implosion in demand created massive swings in demand and inventory. Crude oil production is a secondary driver, the primary driver of gas prices is end product (ie gasoline and diesel) inventory.

There isn’t a ton a competitive pressure to invest billions in capital to activate refineries when your margins are so high and competitive forces are weak.
Quite interesting system you have made there.

Do you perhaps publish (or could publish) some statistics on earnings and the like?

Also, how often the jobs are available for non-USA candidates?

Right! That may be the answer.
Yes, the main issue in Europe is that we don’t have a shared language. From that stems less exposure to other countries politicians, press, politics, tv… which makes most cross-frontier social organizations impossible, slows cross pollination of cultures, etc.
It's a good point. But I don't think the moves away from New Deal economics (e.g. reduced financial regulations, increased wealth disparity) have helped non-white folks or poor folks.
How not to solve the climate change problem
This sounds a lot like a no-true scotsman...
poor allocation of resources

Computers are resources. Iron ore is a resource. People aren't resources. They're people. The problem is the tech industry trying to treat people like resources.

If the delivery people are paid fairly by the delivery companies, then they will be more willing to do a good and thorough job, which includes navigating buildings.

I've been an Uber driver, and yeah, some people are awful.

But I'm also tired of getting calls from Favor delivery people telling me I have to meet them in a parking lot three miles away to collect my groceries because they're running late going to the club, and this is only a "side hustle" they do on Friday nights. If I'm paying a delivery fee, plus a tip, I expect them to complete their jobs.
Yeah if you interview in the US for a tech job typically they will tell you that they have "occasional" overtime. I've seen occasional range from a couple times a week to a couple times a year, always unpaid. You are being paid for filling a role, not a specific set of hours. People talk about how "my boss doesn't care so long as I get the work done" as a benefit but it's actually how the salary arrangement is supposed to work legally speaking. Many roles are misclassified as salaried-exempt (You are paid a salary, and exempt from the overtime laws) in order to step around overtime, there are specific requirements around it like you having enough ability to influence your work in a managerial or creative capacity.

Company time only exists when the company is paying for time, salaried employees are filling a company role not being paid for any specific period of time. If the company gets too specific about what time belongs to them they risk losing the exempt part of salaried-exempt and would owe back pay for any time over 40 hours that you may have worked.

Ah, then this is unintentional click bait I think.

Wow, as lifelong web developer, you really got fleeced. This reads like a list of rookie mistakes to be honest, but not just on your side. Agencies should know when they're too big for a client, and they often do. It avoids exactly this kind of dissatisfaction.

And yes, they made money, but the hit to their reputation is usually not worth it if you're their smallest client. I dare say they probably didn't even do it on purpose, they just didn't have the bandwidth to actually care about your project.

I've been looking at Scrum more closely recently, and I think this would have been a good use case for it (with you as a stakeholder). This goes toward your point of doing things one step at a time. Scrum sprints are short and deliver value consistently. Looking back, I wish I'd had to use it stringently while I was still working at startups; I believe we would all have been much better off.
How about they just make a native app ?
Hi Matt,

First of all, I'd ignore all the haters in this thread. A lot of people on here are badmouthing the final output when in reality they're wannabe co-founders in the second year of their CS degree. They say they can produce a better output with less cost, I wouldn't be so sure about that.

At the end of the day you made a torturous, exhausting investment that seems to be making fantastic returns for you. So at least you can sleep well knowing that!

The part that sounds fishy to me is that at the very end of the 'rebranding' work he suggested that their you use their in-house developer to integrate the design rather than yours.

As a developer I'd be pissed if my employer gave me some 80% done design mockups and told me to go integrate it into a codebase I'm unfamiliar with. Especially if I wasn't consulted or given the codebase before hand.

They then marked the largest task as a one week job then took five weeks to complete it. It sounds like they used the developer as a scapegoat and continued to tie up all the design loose ends in those five weeks. That would explain why the developer started doing some minor bug-fixes within the first few weeks rather than 'doing the thing' because 'the thing' wasn't ready yet. I could be wrong, but if this is true, my heart goes out to that overworked developer. Hoping you're making the big bucks buddy.
We've been able to reach <0.5%/hour on Linux with 12th Gen and recent kernels. There are also some additional firmware optimizations we're working on to resolve higher s0ix drain with different combinations of Expansion Cards inserted that keep the retimers from going into a suspend state.

On 11th Gen and 12th Gen, one of the other major drivers of s0ix drain we have seen is SSDs with firmware issues that keep them in higher power states in suspend. Updating SSD firmware is challenging on Linux, so if you are unable to do that, there is also a workaround to change a kernel parameter which we have seen result in <1%/hour drain on 11th Gen: https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+22.04+LTS+Installatio...

I want the programmatically generated list of permissions. I want those permissions to be more granular, not less. I want the developer to explain why they're using each permission.

It's not about boogie men, it's about economic realities.

Very different countries can't be in a functional monetary and banking union without a common fiscal capacity. In terms of the USA it would be like there was a Fed without a treasure. Or another way to see it, it's like the countries in the Euro use a foreign currency that they don't control. If you are interested I recommend this prescient article by Wynne Godley (1).

So, if the design of the Euro is bad, why don't change it? Because for some countries is very advantageous. Germany being the best example, they are an export powerhouse that now have unrestricted access to the common market and, because is a common currency, it will no appreciate or devaluate following the commercial balance. Of course, this is sell like they don't want to finance the lazy pigs in the south.

Apple also re-enables Wi-Fi after every OS update, which is unhelpful if you had it disabled on a docked device with wired ethernet.

> the researchers find that the Bluetooth chip is not well protected, and its firmware could be analyzed and altered by an iPhone user with privileged access. While this is a complex process, it may also lead to discovering and exploiting new vulnerabilities that would introduce even more risk. It would be great if Apple would address the Bluetooth chip weakness and migrate to better firmware security.
I believe we get a lot out of living in a world where dictators aren't able to invade their neighbors.
I've been using One Medical for I think like 8 years now, at first I paid for it myself but the past few years it's been paid by my employer. In my experience they're still a bit more convenient than the average medical practice. At least I don't have to play phone tag to make an appointment, or have my appointment canceled because I was busy and couldn't answer a confirmation phone call. That just speaks to how terrible the average medical practice is at customer service.

But I feel like One Medical has already started declining in quality and reverting to the mean of other providers. It's no longer easy to find an open time slot, I had to schedule my last physical a month and a half in advance. Last time I tried to do a teledoc session which is advertised as a 24/7 service, they happened to be closed all weekend (I'm not sure if that was a very unlucky one-time thing or how often that happens). Like with many other VC-funded companies, the early user-friendly imbalance of supply & demand was never going to be sustainable as they scaled up.

What I have hated to see most, though, is how they have maneuvered their way into being yet another employer-funded health benefit. Now that it's "free" for me, my bar for service quality is much lower than it was when I was paying $100 a year. I already hate that medical insurance is employer funded in the US - the best solution would probably be a European-style government funded system, but the second best solution would just be to ban employer-sponsored health plans and let companies pay those amounts directly to employees to let them choose their own plan. Right now we have the worst of all worlds, it's not universal and it's not market driven either. And One Medical is now just the latest example of a similar kind of crony capitalism, which was true before Amazon bought them and I'm sure will continue being true now.

That's not the point. Companies that don't list a salary range aren't being competitive. I can only apply to so many jobs at once, so I'm going to pick off the listings that list a salary range I want and apply to those first (and probably only).
I'm not surprised at this result, mostly because of the inaccurate noise that the business of "marketing," (i.e. specifically marketing people selling their not-very-effective services) generates.
In my last year of college, a couple friends and I ended up working on implementing a vehicle-to-infrastructure communications demo for the department of transportation. We were doing it for a grade in a special projects class, but we were working with a consulting company that was being paid by the DOT to implement the demo. Toward the beginning of the project, the consulting company folk were very concerned about giving college students any non-trivial amount of scope, and were talking about how they would hedge all their bets by implementing everything themselves and only use our stuff if it panned out.

The demo itself consisted of about a dozen different scenarios. The scenarios were all basically some form or another of geofencing, and it made sense to make a simple framework to get 90% of the way, then specialize for each scenario. The consulting company didn't see it that way, and instead wanted to treat each scenario as a separate unit of work.

Fast forward to the end of the semester, and my friends and I demoed our framework for the professor, and a Motorola radio rep. It all worked and we got A's. It was like 400 lines of python. A couple weeks before the DOT demo, we started seriously trying to integrate with the consulting company's stuff, and it was laughably bad.

The consulting company knew they dropped the ball, but figured the three of us could just scramble to finish it all on top of our framework. The Motorola rep chimed in and pointed out that we already got our A's, and that the consulting company was getting paid $500k. They ended up paying us something like $20K, and it only took us a few hours to implement all the scenarios on top of our framework. The demo went well, and we ended up directly helping the DOT demo it a few more times over that summer.
As a society we said that is a reasonable cost of doing business in the US. Reasonable accommodations, it is the law of the land.
Never. But they have “privacy nutrition labels” that show what data is tracked either anonymously or linked to you. It’s quite helpful, and likely easier to read than a raw list of permissions.

When I saw this post I assumed Google was rolling back their privacy nutrition label like things they added. I didn’t realize it was about the granular list.

But unfortunately not true in other countries! In Hong Kong the menu is very different and even the fries are different!
That's cool but you don't need to use half the landmass of a country for those technologies. You'd be further ahead paying the cost for cooling in exchange for having that land used for agriculture, cities, and more easily accessed resources.
Complicating things here is the fact companies like Amazon top up their compensation with stock grants (or maybe ISOs, it's been a while since I worked there.) So you see a job offer from Amazon that says the salary range for a SDE I is $85k-$160k, but I'm pretty sure they would low-ball you on salary but give you a stock grant that might be worth $80k over 4 years if AMZN stock holds its value.

I think my point is... yes... it is very cool companies are posting salary ranges more often now. But it's just the beginning of the evaluation process. Bonuses, options, grants, etc. aren't listed and could be valuable.
And Socialism is not Communism.
What you needed was a professional logo design. An agency might well be the best place to get that done, although they may well use a subcontractor.

After that, everything else could be done by a middling freelance designer with Squarespace. No web dev required.

I don't necessarily think the agency had especially ill intent, but the way they work is clearly not accommodating of clients with restricted budgets and they should probably not have taken the job to begin with.
I think they should post salary minimums instead of a range - that huge range is just eye candy. Oh, but not enough people will be interested at the minimum? Then your minimum wasn't good enough and isn't actually the minimum.

Using LinkedIn as a source of data is completely pointless.

I see the same exact position posted 20 times by the same 3rd party recruiter.

I see positions posted as listed in Zurich with a title of "Software Engineer, Bangalore Office (relocation provided)" which is listed 30 times for the 30 biggest cities in the world.

I see positions deleted and being re-created daily to pop up in job seeker's filters again.

You could argue anything using this as data.

You've never lived in a transitional neighborhood, pretty clearly.

> and they decline by raising their declared valuation to match the neighborhood average.

First - this is not in line with the previous posts. What stops me from simply declaring my value is 0 until someone makes an offer and then suddenly it's the right value. Until next year when it's 0 again because that buyer has gone away. If I only have to declare at time of potential sale, the declaration is useless.

Second - having lived in a transitional neighborhood, if your house is valued at the neighborhood average, it will be bought in 30 seconds, sight unseen, usually by a corporation that plans to rehab it (because it was last updated in the 70s) and then rent it forever.

And that second point isn't a hypothetical, it's literally already happening: https://www.cbs46.com/2022/06/03/its-an-everyday-occurrence-...

Basically - money isn't everything, and maximizing utility in a purely capitalistic sense is not a set of values shared by enough people to make this work.

If you limited this to only commercially zoned land, then maybe - but you have a social contract with all those people who bought their houses, and violating that social contract, especially in a way like this, is a recipe for disaster.
Instead of a seat I'd prefer padded roller beds like that commercial starship in the 5th Element (movie). Please let me relax in an isolated storage pod. Bonus if these are modular and can be loaded in the terminal then computer packed into the aircraft.
What happens to me is that I ask, they agree, and then they make a lower offer anyway.
I'm sympathetic to the owner's plight, as I imagine it's frustrating when you've got a bunch of customers who frequently stop into your establishment to profess how much they love your product, while failing to ever actually purchase your product.

This is something particularly common with books/reading, where it becomes more of a performative act, to demonstrate to everyone else how intellectual/educated you are.
Why shouldn't they?

Because we are all citizens and all human beings, even the one with disabilities.

This is something that we, as a nation and a society, decided years ago, and we shouldn't throw out our ideals because they're inconvenient for tech companies.
However you look at the situation, blame doesn't lay with the individual citizens of any of those countries - it lies with the policies chosen by the countries collective leadership. Insulting political policies is far more acceptable than insulting individuals.
> It's odd that you didn't want to name the agency.

I've learned to keep things vague. I'm even careful about writing complimentary stuff; usually, if I have had a hand in it, I generally try to avoid directly naming.

I am very careful about writing non-complimentary stuff; even if I have documented proof. In these cases, I may keep it to direct personal experience, and avoid directly naming the guilty parties. I've found that people don't heed warnings, so I'm not actually doing anyone a favor.

Lawyers in the US can get awful indiscriminate, when it comes to dragging people into court, and I have found that most organizations have many teams; not all of which may be bad/good.
> a general description of any bonuses, commissions, or other compensation

By my reading, that just means that they have to disclose that equity compensation is available, not the amount of that equity compensation. Contrast that with "the rate of compensation (or a range thereof), including salary and hourly, piece, or day rate compensation," which actually requires a number.
We just went through a large hiring cycle. We posted two versions for every job posting- one with salary ranges and one without.

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

And... before you say, perhaps your salary ranges were bad, they weren't. Our salary offerings are very aggressive to the developer's benefit. In my opinion, salary is a sign of respect from you employer.

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. Of the top reasons people are happy at work, salary is way down on the list. [0] It is important, it makes it possible to pay bills, but it isn't what makes people happy.

Meaning, if you are looking for a place you will enjoy working, do not start with salary.

Ask HN: Should I sign this NDA before job interview?
For most companies, you can tell them what your expected salary range is during the first round of phone screens or meetings - no need to wait till the end. The HR represenative should be able to tell you right there and then whether they are comfortable with that number or not. The biggest tip is to know what your market worth is so that expectations of both parties align.

You know we didn't really want to enter into WWII until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor? and there wasn't huge support for it, either. Until we went to war with Japan, the Nazi's hadn't actually declared war on the U.S. We had stayed isolationists post WWI and decided to let Europe and Asia "just kind of deal with it, themselves".

We weren't the world's police pre-1941 and had to be pulled into WWII kicking and screaming, not by some moral obligation.

The job description was a good fit, so I feel like the role itself wasn't the problem. It's possible that particular company just needs to adjust its interviews for that type of role.

I suppose I could go back to fill in gaps with specific books/online courses, but to be honest, I'm kind of bad about self-paced education like that. Having deadlines and structure around it would help me I think.
