> Big tech has absolute control over messaging and distribution of messaging in the US.

If Fox Corporation wants to air something on its cable news station, or if Warner Bros Discovery wants to put something on CNN's website, or if the New York Times wants to print something on its front page, which big tech company can stop them? While a growing number of people get news from alternative sources enabled by some big tech companies, the traditional distribution channels still exist and are pretty much unpenetrated by these competitors.

Meanwhile, the polarization we see now started developing long before any of the big tech players became powerful, and indeed before the internet even existed. There are numerous factors influencing the increase in polarizations, such as the decay of traditional social institutions that allowed people of varying beliefs to regularly interact with each other and give people something to talk about besides politics, a shift in political strategy in the late 20th century to make greater use of public opinion polling and focus on more devisive issues, socioeconomic changes that have shifted the balance of power between various groups meaning old political coalitions that maintained common ground have become unworkable, and a general stagnation in society that has driven many to anger and despair.

Most tech giants don't particularly desire such polarization. Zuckerberg certainly didn't set out to build the optimal platform for middle aged women to share conspiracy theories. The fact that despite best efforts pretty much every internet platform's algorithm converges towards polarizing content means either no one knows how to make an internet platform that isn't toxic, or no one actually wants such a platform. Either way, any attempt to remedy polarization by regulating big tech is doomed to failure. If we can't find a way to solve the important problems while our society is polarized, they're not going to get solved at all.
I've used https://www.enchant.com/ for two small companies over the last decade, and have been happy with them. Cheaper than Zendesk, and just much simpler to use.
Did you bother asking OP if their selection criteria is too restricted or assume based upon a single post highlighting one criteria?

Really curious how it is air gapped commentators are able to intuit the real sequence others have adopted with so little information. That’s a pretty amazing power.
It did have clear goals - “we are the 99%”. It addressed wealth and income inequality and money in politics and it didn’t have a leadership head for the same reason Antifa doesn’t - they are collectives against hierarchal societies. They operated on loose consensus and because of these principals I agree it was weak. But their message was clear.

But they couldn’t get donor class support because, well that is the 1%. The media painted it as a well meaning (they’re progressives after all) thing that has no concrete goal. That was a lie.

However, radical gender ideology doesn’t address the 1%. If anything it’s an attack on the working classes that tend to have traditional values. So here we are.
Good consulting companies that are able to think long term realize that good employees doing good work, getting good reviews, and getting recommendations are the key to a sustainable business. Getting fired is expensive. A consultancy that checks all those boxes is going to be expensive though. Maybe more expensive than just hiring your own.
Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
I have a client that had an estimated max. budget of 11 hours for a project. I just finished the task in 4 hours.

The estimated budget stemmed from the first project, but I had told the client that a lot of tasks would be much quicker because we had built the base in the first part.

Why would I try to rack up the hours and endanger the relationship? Client is happy to have the service this quick and for a very reasonable rate. I am happy, as the chance for future business is very high. Without the hassle from new biz efforts.
Early-stage startups, ideally ones with fewer than 50 employees. If you can be employee #10 or so, you can work on the project/company for a year or two; at that point, it should be obvious if the company will be successful/get acquired or if it will fail. It's a lot less weird to job hop in the startup world, and if you can get your foot in the door, smaller companies are more likely to be flexible about contracting, part time, etc.

Likewise, I have a minimum salary for which I will move giant hunks of manure with my bare hands and love it so much I'll sing arias about it while I do so. It's a really big number, but I assure you it exists.
My former employer had a lot of trouble hiring and getting applicants even though we paid very high wages. They asked for my help. Naturally, they hadn't posted the salary range. I changed up the listing to talk about what we provided as a company for the employee and why we were such a great place to work and included our high salaries. We immediately had trouble keeping up with the number of applicants.

If you pay well, they will come.
The track goes quiet, other tracks keep working. I suppose if the track has other ways to make sound (e.g. the plugin is just one of the many instruments it's playing) then it's just that part of the processing graph, but I haven't tried experimenting with that so deeply.

You need to restart the plugin manually.
This article gives zero information. It gives noise.

There are only a handful of people amongst those 340 million who can judge whether it was a good investment or not. Why ask the general populace who only see the nice pictures, but they mostly don't know anything at all about this topic. Ask researchers, physicists whether it was money burned or money well spent.
Why do you want to mislead these people in the first place? The advert has a role in filtering, and in turning down many people you are avoiding wasting time both for you and the potential candidate.
As a femme gay myself I am feeling the heat, although not as much as my trans compatriots.

I think GP is point stands though. The right is being told that a very important thing that they should be worried about is the existence of trans people. Which is ridiculous. But the reason the issue was brought up is because it’s very emotional and very personal and has nothing at all to do with curtailing corporate power.
Nest is a terrible product. The learning aspect did not work at all and their app always takes forever to refresh. I switched to ecobee and couldn’t be happier. HomeKit and home assistant integration without hassle. Google products are generally quite terrible.
Most non tech users never change the defaults on their phones/laptops. This means for those users, the scrollbar is effectively removed (other than scrolling).
I don't get it. Wouldn't a rational actor simply avoid being scammed?
You keep posting this. A monolith is a software architecture. It says nothing about there being one instance of that monolithic process or a billion any more than "microservice architecture" becomes untrue unless you have k instances of any particular service.

It's like saying "this thing says it is built as a suspension bridge, but there are ten of them, so I wouldn't call it a bridge."
No, they would export some stuff and import other stuff. It would all balance out. In the end, it must: what’s the point of exporting things, if you don’t get other things in return? Exporting is not a charity, you must import things in order for exports to make sense.
Yeah I mean I look at this example and it’s obviously pretty “extreme” - nobody is running that query every second (at least I hope not) - but I think the principle is important. You run that query once a day and it’s still costing you 1Kx what it would if it were optimized.
The top decentralized exchange, Uniswap, has overtaken the top centralized exhanges in liquidity depth for several major trading pairs:

So there is a world where centralized exchanges have far less relevance than they do today.
What percentage of your employees are Asian who work from Asia and what are their average salaries ?
Ask HN: Budget season. How to justify rate?
I am increasing my rate. Haven't done so in years. Client is going to be shocked. Project manager said "as long as you can justify it". I could just say "inflation", but I think he means that I link to some published rate metrics. I did some googling and only found an IEEE rate guide - which costs $45. Anyone have some resources to share?

> That’s true for some crypto assets as well.

> So in a conversation about float you should stick to float.

It is true that in some crypto assets value can be realised as claims to the sort of value the OP said they understood, like future revenues of a business (or "DAO"), instead of solely by finding buyers for the crypto. But it is not true for the typical "insular, self-contained" cryptocurrency they sought to contrast it with, in which the market cap can be realised solely by sufficiently deep-pocketed Greater Fools purchasing the float.

In a conversation about the fundamental weirdness of assets whose value can only be realised by float, one probably should stick to assets whose value can only be realised by float.
Does the fact that he tried to flee have any bearing on this or can it plausibly be argued away is irrelevant?
Given the amount of people applying for fewer remote jobs one would think employers could/should start paying lower salaries for remote employees, if they haven’t already.
I remember when I studied databases in college, the execution plan took care of what to do first: join, filters, etc (I remember doing excercises with paper and pen where I got a query, a few tables, and I had to build the optimal execution tree).

So this product is not only expensive, but I have to think of the execution plan myself? Or I am wrong and modern dbs don't do that?
I don't know any programmers who are responding to an ad because of the salary. I know a lot who are filtering out ads because of the salary and then choosing from the ones that include it. If you want to argue that salary doesn't matter then don't take one.
If you're in the northeast, plant swamp milkweed and common milkweed. They bloom very nice flowers, are native, and they are two of the only two plants monarch butterflies will use. They are the two main ones they use, as far as I understand. I am not sure where else they are native, but you should look it up.

You will not find an easier plant to grow. They basically require no attention and will flourish in native soil. Bees and other pollinators also love them.

Some people say this because it's true. This is an ineffective negotiating tactic. You shouldn't accept anything less than stellar equity/benefits/WLB. But if you do, now you are in the position of saying "Well, your equity/benefits/WLB suck, so I want more money." There's no positive way to spin that. You look like an ass and are negotiating from weakness.

I tell them exactly what number I'm looking for. Saves everybody a bunch of time. Yes, my current job I got what I asked for.

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

Maybe your company is known for paying well or well-enough, have you considered that?

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

That's very debatable, and that's to say the least (and to say it politely).

For a lot of people a salary bump that eases financial pressure is a big boon on mental health, positivity and ultimately happiness.

And by the way, a lot of people will not be "happy" in the purest sense of the work at any job.
Work is ultimately the chore we all do to exist.
Maybe work is the ultimate chore.

We do our best to make the pill taste less sour, but very few of the people that do "code for passion" (or some other thing) would work on the same business related problem if they had no need for money. They would probably work on something else, which is very unlikely to overlap with some random jira ticket or something.
> If the upper bound of your range doesn't exceed $350k there is no chance that any of the senior engineers I know will apply and honestly to get something to think about leaving a job they are moderately happy with you'd have to have that be the lower bound of your range.

Outside of SV, that upper-bound is an absolutely wild number.
My Toyota Sequoia has close to twice the horsepower than my Cessna 182 did, but the Cessna burnt easily twice as much fuel per mile than the Toyota.

The Cessna cruised at 65% power. The Toyota cruises at closer to 10% power, but needs the excess power available when a hill comes along.

I suspect a similar dynamic exists with trains and ships - trains need to have power available to go up a hill, while ships probably cruise at closer to full power.

> What's the expected return?

Knowledge?

How would you value the early experiments that eventually led to, say, germ theory on a monetary basis?
I think you're reading the rather poor evidence in a pretty tilted way. "Attractive fixed salary" is not "way down on the list"; it's #8 on a top 10 list in a "study" (cough survey) that considered 26 factors. Further "salary" and "attractive fixed salary" are not the same; perhaps people enjoy a competitive base salary plus a performance bonus. And frankly you say "salary is a sign of respect from you (sic) employer", and you highlight a consultant claiming that the most important thing is "Appreciation for your work" ... why would people believe you appreciate their work if they're not compensated well?

The OP also doesn't say that their "primary reason for responding to an ad is based upon salary"; they may also be filtering aggressively based on the industry, tech stack, role, etc, and also filtering based on salary.

My father once told me that money is how the company tells you how much they value you.

It isn't just about the money, it's about the respect. Many, many people leave jobs because of the salary. Not just they need more money, but because they know they're worth more than that and can get it.

Those people are not going to bother looking at jobs that pay less than they're worth. They are absolutely going to look at the money first, and other benefits after. All those benefits matter, but money is the one that's forced their hand. And by extension, respect.
That is N7+, normal N7 was without EUV

According to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process , mass production with N7+ which uses EUV was ramping up from 2018 to 2019. It seems that the Apple A12 as well as some Ryzen chips were using the N7 DUV process.
Speaking loosely, I would say that there are two kinds of people: those that optimize within a framework of rules and those that optimize the framework so they can relax inside it.

My experience is a lot of web agency people are the second kind. They have a cozy business where a happy client is worth more than a bilked one. They can be (occasionally) generous on the margins because the overall structure is good for them.

I would never look at someone coming to me with a $7k contract thinking "maybe I could stretch this out to several months and $40k." It's not worth the heart burn. I've only ever seen that scenario when a client couldn't be talked out of scope creep.

Unfortunately this agency was the other type. They're bad for the whole industry because trust is such an important factor and it's a challenge for clients to know who is happy to make a bunch of money for an honest hour's work versus who wants to cheat the already generous system.
> But the senate needs 60 votes to pass anything other than a budget

Incorrect.

One of the other things it can do with a simple majority is alter or eliminate the 60 vote requirement.
I think it's fixed now. The meta onion-location line is now pointing to the specific page, not the base website, and Whonix does the redirect to the proper page now.

I'd missed that in testing - I went to the root domain, and it redirected properly and let me browse to pages, but I never went directly to a post, on a browser that wasn't already aware of the redirect. Thank you so much for pointing that out!
Before signing any legal document, you should have a lawyer read it. If that is not an option, you absolutely must thoroughly read and understand it yourself, as best you can. Don't sign if any of it seems iffy, or you're unsure what you're on the hook for.

If you're still on the fence, you could go by the reputation of the company. In this case, it's CloudKitchens, which is run by Travis Kalanick. He was the founding CEO of Uber, kicked out for being altogether too nasty.

Cloudkitchens is known to be overly secretive about all aspects of its business, probably because their customers don't benefit from their customers knowing it's all made in a factory. That's probably where the NDA request comes from.
Personnel has origins within the military...is that really what you want for some random employee?
> It's clearly rational for the scientists to spend time on the pursuit of grants. Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

Is that worded properly? Are you really saying that nobody would ever do something irrational?

If that's not what you mean, then we have to look at what "rational" means here. I think parent didn't mean "rational" in the sense of "maximising personal gain", but "maximising output of quality research".
Note that the fraud here is against Coinbase. Namely, that the defendant who worked there fraudulently agreed to abide by non-disclosure and trading policies. The others are wrapped up in conspiracy charges.

I think this is a pretty novel charge and IMHO isn't going to stick. They're going to have to prove an intent to deceive and deceive specifically to "insider trade". Agreeing not to disclose and then disclosing isn't in itself fraud. You have to plan to disclose prior to that agreement to make it fraud.
There are at least some checks in place. I was filling it out for an app that I work on, and forgot about a feature where we shared a GPS location with an API to get a street address. I checked the box to say that the users GPS position never leaves the phone and I pretty much instantly got an email saying that the app was rejected and to fill out the form again.
Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't used swap for years but I am about to figure out how to set it up behind LUKS/LVM to test this out.
Bash also turns off the bracketed paste, because it can't know if the command it is about to launch supports it. So that command would have to re-enable it itself. Something like emacs or vim might do so (or another bash, you can nest shells).

And yes, then bash starts ls, which is an external program. It might be /usr/bin/ls.

And then ls quits, and bash re-enables bracketed paste because the command might have not enabled it or enabled it and disabled it before quitting. So you get this weird bracketed paste sandwich.
I like your philosophy. In fact, I think it helps in more than one way. When I'm comparing multiple projects, and they all have the same bland "MicroGoogFace" looking style, I feel like I've wondered into OpenAI's secret bot farm pumping out generic copy & paste versions of the same thing. When I see a page deciding to be unique with their design, I'm more drawn into giving them a deeper look.

By the way, I like your news site, never heard of it before, thanks! And for your thingybase, have you looked into adding something like PaperCSS [0] to try the whole "sketchy" look together? Although you may be opposed to adding any css libraries lol I don't know.

You are right
But it's not always a clear cut. Sometimes trades have "artistic integrity" for a lack of better words. Carpenters, architects and also programmers - The client tells them what to do, but they usually want some freedom to leave their mark.
random will perhaps
Doesn't "random walk" just mean that it's random whether the coin lands heads or tails each day? The contrast you made was random walk as opposed to oscillating around a mean. If you try to pick a value to sell over and buy below, you'll do fine with oscillation but a random walk will very often leave that range and never return, and you'll make almost no money.

The payout percents are a different issue. I wasn't saying it works with arbitrary payouts.

Note that the +50%/-50% model is not very realistic either when it comes to stocks or assets. The value over time rapidly spirals to zero.

The ECB took sightly better decisions (more timely let's say) than the Fed in the last 8 years and was a lot better at communicating them than their US counterparts.

If you think China's governments are full of technocrats, you just don't understand China at all.

Yes, china have technocratic boards (HST and SEZ are the most known projects lead by technocrats), but don't ever forget that China is run by its political power first, military second, its economic power third, and only then their technocrats. And those only have power in complex areas (i can develop if you want to know what I mean).

And the technocrats lose more ground to the economic powers everyday. Until the military enter and rebalance everything, it will continue.

I'm not even talking about local governors and mayors, if you think they are technocrats and not family members of the military or political, you're dead wrong.
Volcanic ash, victims, and tsunami debris from Late Bronze Age Thera eruption
I started motivated, became sad after a couple of months, and now I’m struggling mentally (it’s starting to affect my performance).

They do see me probably as “standoff-ish”. However, I have tried to fake my attitude to look more engaged or positive, but eventually I feel disconnected, and I fall back into a depressive status.

It bothers me because they have been nice with me, and there is nothing wrong with them as a team. The fact that they are good people, makes me feel even worse.
