AFAIK, it's just representative of status/power, but I don't know its origins.

A listing in The Urban Dictionary defines/describes it as: When an idea, movement or act has become very successful. To be propelled to great heights. [1]

FWIW, there's a band called The 39th Floor [2] that I like for its grungy/retro-ish rock. The band's name evokes, for me, the image of "high-powered execs", but I'm not sure how that association got into my head. (Possibly the track Koka Kola on The Clash's album London Calling [3], but that refers to a "51st floor", rather than 39th, to symbolise corporate success/power [4].)

Should the manufacturer of the camera be held responsible because they did not verify the purpose of the buyer and consequently allowing them to produce illegal material? (They could technically have some online DRM installed to all of their cameras and if it is reported that someone is making illegal material, they can brick those cameras in question.)

I think the issue is that Visa should not be tasked with enforcing the law. In my opinion, in an ideal world, PornHub should be forced to verify its content not by Visa, but by the government, i.e. there will be heavy fine for allowing illegal materials to be uploaded.
> tech workers used to six figures for working 30 hours per day and then spending the rest of the day on activism or "day in the life of a X" Tiktoks

> You've never worked a job that isn't 30 minutes of work and then the rest of the day is posting "day in the life of a FAANG employee" Tiktoks or being a paid activist.

That is incredibly not what it's like to work in tech in the US. I doubt you've been anywhere near a big tech programming job.
I've contributed a few dealerships around Illinois.

Wife is looking for a Chevy Bolt after her car was scraped in an accident (the other person's fault).

Every dealership other than a single local one is charging between $5K and $10K "market adjustment".

I'm sure many of these are just charging the markup no matter what. But I have a theory many charge this if you're from out of town and won't be paying them later for maintenance services. This the local dealership that seems to be the odd one out not charging this.
My guess is that the original intent of the legislation wasn't to force users to click about 20 buttons in order to opt-out (IANAL but this seems to run directly counter to the mandate that it must be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it?). I agree that the current experience sucks, although unlike you I'd prefer not to be tracked. That being said, the EU has shown that it continues to iterate legislatively on issues around privacy - see the recent Digital Markets Act, for example. I guess my point is that legislation doesn't always get it right the first time, but I'd much rather see an evolutionary approach to fixing a problem than simply throwing up our hands.
From all the potential web security issues someone can have that one is probably the easiest and most likely you will get right.

> Recessions are by definition a decline in GDP

No, recessions are by definition “significant, widespread, prolonged” declines in economic activity [0]

[0] from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/recession.asp but the three dimensions are, with various terms, common (BLS and NBER use “duration, depth, and diffusion”, CD Howe Institute in Canada uses “pronounced, persistent, and pervasive decline in economic activity” [1].) The two-quarter-GDP-decline rule is a rule focussed on the prolonged/persistent/duration dimension, but which does not capture the other two dimensions.

<Excerpt>
When the hard pickleball paddle strikes the hard ball a sharp popping sound can be produced. The constant sound during play has generated conflict between pickleball court owners and other nearby property owners.[60] An intense backlash in many communities has coincided with the rapid rise in popularity of pickleball.[61]

In September 2020 one park in the Portland metropolitan area had to institute a ban on pickleball, despite having just installed new pickleball courts five months earlier. Residents nearest to the pickleball courts said they were unable to hold conversations inside their homes due to the noise from the pickleball courts. Despite the ban, the next year people were still making use of the pickleball courts. In June 2021, at a West Linn City Council meeting, one resident said the noise resulted in family gatherings being, "... wrought with discord and physically debilitating stress." Some described the noise as "trauma-inducing".[62]

> "we care about your mental health" as is the common internal email from HR

I told my last boss I needed to take 3 months off because I was severely burnt out, without pay or benefits of course, and I am sure the team could handle it because there were 10 other devs including me and we didn't have that much work to do, and guess what happened? That's right, got fired a week later. I literally built the team, including hiring the team manager (I'm not interested in management), and built the first version of the product my team was developing and they didn't care; they wanted to eliminate my weakness. Their stock is worth 1/4th of what it was when I was "let go", so I feel pretty happy about that (because I'm a prick).
Is there research showing this? If we're just talking opinions, I'd have to disagree and say I find justified documents are easier to read.
Is the company actually a non-profit? When I click the donate button Stripe says I'm giving to "Markups, LLC" and the IRS exempt organization search doesn't return results for orgs containing "Markups".
This is something that people fail to understand about economics. The vast majority of wealth is created by the faster movement of money - Japan went into a period of stagflation because savings rates rose in order to cover loan defaults. A yen doing the 5 rounds in a family of three could buy 15 yen worth of goods.
> I find their hiring process as a bit of a red flag

This is a bit like saying you find the hiring process at the NFL or for SEAL teams a red flag. You either fall through the selection sieve or you don't, that's the whole point. The filter has served its purpose, and they end up with the elite high-performing teams they desire. There's nothing wrong with you or the filter if you don't make it. The filter clearly does work because Jane St prints cash like the Fed and is one of the top MM firms out there.

Sorry I don't mean to sound like an evangelist, I just meant that there are misconceptions out there about immutable data structures (functional programming aside: the two are not so intimately involved that they're equivalent).

I hope you can understand why benchmarking OCaml against Java isn't necessarily fair, since they have two completely different implementations (the latter being possibly the most mature set of JIT compilers and runtimes ever built). A more interesting comparison are immutable DAs in languages like C++, for example the immer library which has some very impressive performance characteristics for the problems it solves. And other applications like immutable ropes used in text editors which have extremely high performance compared to mutable variations. At the same time it's not a silver bullet, plenty of other immutable DAs have issues that are non-negligible and applications domains where in-place mutable DSs are required like hard-realtime.

Software engineering is about tradeoffs and not dogma, and that's what I was getting at. A take like "immutable is slow" is the counter dogma to "immutable is perfect."
Ah yes, it’s completely fair that the only people who should be morally allowed to participate in the financial apparatus that sometimes leads to getting rich, are the people who are already rich. I see no incongruities whatsoever with this logic. rapid eye blinking

Bunch of people lost money. Some of them got rich. Booze is good and gambling is fun and it’s ok to blow their own money on exactly the things that everyone else blows their money on.

(This hits on the idea of “accredited investor,” and I have such a hard time not calling out that it’s a mechanism for already-rich people to participate in every deal that could make not-rich people rich. And that there are very few other ways to earn a fortune when you only have $10k in the bank. I lost my dad’s $11k when mt Gox exploded, which is objectively stupid. Meanwhile my friend is now a multi millionaire simply because he didn’t lose his coins and didn’t sell them. Was he stupid? Did I blow my money on gambling, but he was just lucky?)

Didn’t mean to rant, but it is what it is. You’re not wrong though.
Obviously there's bias involved, but I really don't see a reality where this isn't the case. I've literally never worked at a company where half the team could be laid off and the product would still function at its current level of functionality for 12 months; let alone adding functionality. If you've worked at a company like this; I imagine there are some; then sure; the lights could be kept on. Hey there Oracle & IBM 2.0.

Then again, you (the company) just laid off hundreds of extremely talented engineers with few other marketable skills except "the industry you trained them in", you've been paying them insane salaries, they're just going to turn around and compete with you, except now they've got a clean slate and have learned from all the mistakes that caused them to be necessary in the first place.

The well paying, large companies are literally 7 of the 10 largest companies on the S&P. Oh, and by the way, one of those other 3, UHG, they have... 850 job openings with the word "software engineer" in the title; about 15% of all their openings. Johnson & Johnson, they're on there, 300 software engineering openings, out of 3000 total. Berkshire is also on the list, harder to get their count, but you get the point; software is EVERYWHERE.

I just... don't get it. I don't get how someone can believe what the grandparent believes. I mean, you can argue a more measured stance, that the outlier 99.9th percentile salaries we've seen in the past four years are probably going to stagnate. Maybe; I'm not convinced of this, but its a reasonable stance. You can argue it'll be harder to get into the industry, as companies want experience and not coding bootcamps; I'd bet on it. But to argue that tech companies don't need 50% of their employees, when they're the plurality of the wealth of the United States' public markets; its comical. Where else did that wealth come from, if not their (tech) employees? If the argument is they're overvalued, maybe, but that's speculation; buy Puts if you believe it, but I'd buy Calls on "you won't".

Then again, maybe the grandparent is talking about non-tech roles in tech companies? I can't tell; and moreover, I don't think even they know what they're arguing for.

I’ll second this. LSD provides a huge paradigm shift in a way mdma absolutely doesn’t, but if you already know your trauma causes irrational emotions or ones you’d prefer to go away mdma is where to look.

It is a matter of fact in that either there were zero missions of such a nature, or there were one or more. I.e., you can refute it by identifying even just one such mission. Posting a list of random DoD missions is not a substitute for that.

People employed at NASA for decades, in a position to know and report even facts not published, that they have had no reason to lie about, say it is true. No one has come forward to say not.
>Your misconceptions about what I said somehow outnumber the things I actually said.

oops! let me rectify that!

> Do you have hard data for that? (j/k)

ach, i'd answer but you're just kidding. still, it might be worth looking into?

> is not what happened? Pretty much every taxpayer got a series of stimulus checks. It wasn't based on need

I didn't get one. I didn't get a second. In fact, nobody I know except for business owners and one person whose income was skewed for very VERY specific reasons got one. Maybe this is the source of our fundamental disconnect? Only my business owning friends got money, none of my non-business-owning friends got money. The money mostly went, in my experience, to those who were already well set up. Or to business owners, who largely got loans forgiven.

> Literally the only thought I've expressed this entire time is yup, that wave of money given to consumers seems like it had an effect on consumer spending habits

I mean, that's the thing I mostly disagree about, so sure- it can be small but it's all I'm keen on talking about?

As someone who was on the outside looking in on this until pretty recently, but also has spent much of the last 10 years working with a variety of different YC companies, this is pretty overblown. Moreover: there are so many YC companies at this point, the rate of increase is not an especially interesting marketing fact. For what you're saying to be true, the norm would have to be selling to your batchmates, which... I mean, batchmates are friendly with each other, but they're not like, your core market, even if you're selling pickaxes and shovels.

They've coded for 10 or 20 years, and now just sit back and design interfaces, write specs, evaluate technologies, mentor juniors, do code review, and of course the ultimate mind blow when you're trying to figure out who to fire: they remove code instead of add it. Unfortunately for the company, these "imposters" do indeed get weeded out in preference to the recent college grad copy/pasting thousands of lines of StackOverflow answers. I usually escape before all that drama though!

TLS isn't simple but you still use it with IRC. Libolm/e2e is the session layer not the application layer. Why is there no library that handles key management,session handling,etc... for you and all you have to do is make a library api call similar to TLS with the destination, encoding and message size limit details as a parameter and each send() operation requiring a recipient so the library can handle the auth/encryption? Can you not do that with libolm? Why can't you use IRC on top of such a library then similar to how you would with TLS?

I don't know where you work but the people actually doing the core work that drives multi billion companies don't work like this.

Multi billion Companies aren't stupid they aren't paying these salaries because of cost of living they're paying them because the economics mean get more value from the work done than they're paying out. The best developers in India already get hired by FAANG and they're working in SV.
I wouldn't buy a Tesla from Carmax (I wouldn't buy a Tesla from anyone), but for everything else, it's pretty great. I bought my last car from them online at an extremely sane price, and they delivered it to my door; a few weeks later a better trim of the same car popped up on their site (many hours away), and I was able to exchange without any drama.

I got pretty decent at car buying from dealerships over the years, and I kind of feel like a sucker for playing that game now.

Again: I'm sure you're right that buying a Tesla from Carmax is a terrible idea.
It really is a T+2 issue.

The NSCC has a rule-driven model that tries to make sure that it holds an appropriate amount of collateral for each participant based on risk of default between trade and settlement.

That includes a core capital model that’s derived primarily from value-at-risk based on portfolio size, volatility and the usual things.

It also has an excess capital premium charge which varies according to the extent to which the core requirement is large vis-a-vis a participant’s excess net capital (excess over the minimum regulatory capital required by the SEC); because those are precisely the cases where default is more likely.

In the case of Robinhood, it seems like their internal risk management team had failed to take into account the excess capital premium (which is a large problem on its own), and that premium was particularly large based on how poorly capitalized Robinhood was.

You can go look up details on the NSCC model; it doesn’t care whether your clients are trading on margin.

> be it that she transitioned only because of it or not

If not, then this is not news at all, it’s only a person being harassed by a public mob for their choice and because of other people’s fears and imagination. If not, then this really is an example of a talking point and not an example of anyone at all using gender norms to get out of working. She said she did not transition because of retirement. You assumed Sergia is lying by posting the article as an example of the claim that people are transitioning gender just to mess with other people or avoid work. Do you know for a fact that Sergia is lying? What if she’s telling the truth?

Both articles posted here speculate about the possibility of others wanting to transition for retirement in the future. This hearsay claim you shared about men supposedly talking about it is also speculation. It hasn’t yet happened, right? Even if people are boasting they’re going to, that doesn’t mean they will. So doesn’t this discussion of a trend that hasn’t happened also exemplify the original comment that this is talk and not reality?

BTW why is the retirement age different for men & women in Argentina?
