First start with what you want, because there are multiple variables at play in an acquisition:

- Cash Comp - What you are actually paid every 2/4 weeks.

- Sign On Bonus / Retention Bonus - Paid lump sum (or over time) for joining the acquirer.

- Benefits - 401K / HSA / Health / Medical / Dental, individual or dependents.

- Equity - Assuming your equity will be bought out (cash) or rolled into new equity or both.

- Equity Vesting Schedule (AKA Golden Handcuffs) - On what terms does it vest? What are the strike prices for options?

- Non-Compete - May be part of the acquisition for a period of time.

- Termination - Golden parachute or termination without cause and you lose your equity?

Next, figure out what they can give you on each of these compensation areas.
This is the negotiation part.

- Maybe they are in a cash crunch and they can give you really generous stock grants?

- Maybe they are out of options in the pool and need to refresh it, so they'd rather give you cash.

Objective of negotiating is finding a solution that works for both parties. You will have a much better time if you focus on what works for them, and toy around with your preferences.

Every negotiation that starts with "Take them for all they are worth" sets the wrong tone.
> The citizens of the US will be emboldened by it. They may have to pay more for heat, but stand to gain even more than that.

I have to disagree here. The citizens of the US gain nothing from the US permitting natural gas companies to export to Europe instead of filling local demand first. These are private companies anyway... so not sure how this logic holds up.

> It's a globally traded commodity.

Sure it is... however a nation can and will prohibit exports when local demand exceeds available reserves. Natural gas is a strategic asset after all, and we're already dangerously dancing with inflation/recession - it wouldn't make sense to accelerate that path just because Europe needs gas after a series of terrible, completely avoidable choices.

This is a "let them eat cake" style of statement. Yeah the poor could sustain themselves on cake, but read the room. Especially as Firefox has made lots of layoffs recently.
It's pretty obviously a rhetorical 'nobody', really meaning, the overwhelming majority. Which I find to be quite accurate.

I mean, a little, but the closed nature of the greenhouse is still the bigger problem.

1000 cubic meters of air only has something like 150 grams of carbon in it; even if your plants in question are 95% water, you're still only talking a few kilograms of plant growth before you completely exhaust the air in an enclosed space.
Most 'high fatty foods' in diets of obese people are loaded with empty carbs and contain tons of sugar. Even if article is right on the desire for fats, it completely skips over sweets, cookies, sugared drinks and food with sugar added to it for practically no reason beyond taste.

Even cheese is incredibly difficult to get obese from. Ask the keto people if they could eat 300g of cheese in the first week, most average people struggle with a mere 100g.

Category error. I don't think controversial arguments have different standards of proof for validity. This isn't a debate society, it's a community. It has norms grown over the last decade that allow it to continue growing by welcoming anonymous newcomers without burning itself down. Your comment was, reasonably, perceived as rancorous. We have an immune system tuned to rancor. Its response to your comment was allergic rather than immunologic, but I don't blame the pollen when I step outside and need to blow my nose, if only because there's no point in doing so.
The subject wasn't any grievances of mine (I had trotted none before your comment) - the subject is those lavishing praise. You imply trotting out grievances would not be "commonly decent", but what of the opposite? Praising someone who has brought so much pain and suffering to the world? Is that what you consider decent?
Is setState() that bad? If you want the magic of vue’s reactive state, you can just use Proxy which is what it does under the hood. Not sure why React hasn’t standardized that but /shrug

>According to the current text of the Pennsylvania bill, “The initial premium rate shall be 0.58% of the individual's wages” and payroll deductions would begin on Jan. 1. The New York Long Term Care Trust Act (Senate Bill 9082), sponsored by two Democratic state senators, would establish a state long-term care trust program to provide a public benefit available to all New York workers for long-term care services and support, financed by a payroll withholding tax. The current bill stipulates that the tax rate would be set by the state’s comptroller at “the lowest amount necessary to maintain the actuarial solvency” of the plan, with payroll deductions to begin two years after the law is enacted.

>Both bills appear modeled on Washington’s first-of-its-kind program, enacted in 2019, which will begin collecting a payroll tax of 0.58% to create a mandatory long-term-care plan for Washingtonians in July 2023.

I recall a study where the researchers doctored calculators to give the wrong answer, and gave them to high school students for their work.

The calculators had to produce an answer that was off by more than a factor of 2 before the students suspected something might be wrong.

Back in the 80s at Boeing, the experienced engineers were deeply suspicious of any "computer numbers" because they'd been burned too many times by garbage results pushed by the computer department. I was the only person in my group (of about 30) to use a computer to calculate things. The others used calculators and graphical methods. My lead engineer didn't want any "computer numbers". I persisted, so he set up a competition between me and his best graphical method draftsman.

One of the numbers I generated didn't match the graphical results. My lead said "see, you can't trust those computer numbers!" The graphics guy said he'd recheck that one. A couple hours later, he said he'd made a mistake and the computer numbers were correct. (Note the "couple hours" to get one number.)

After that, my lead only trusted computer numbers from me, and directed a lot of the calculation work to me.

(All designs were double checked by a separate group, and then validated on the test stand. Correcting a mistake by then, however, got very expensive.)
I want to make this distinction because I don't think it's obvious to a lot of people reading. You're not talking about leaving the newcomers to fend for themselves because you want to "feel the burn". You're talking about using your experience to make tactical decisions about the route, which may involve periods of separation. And you have the experience to weigh the risk of separating to scout against the risk of staying together and potentially bringing the whole group into terrain you're not prepared for. You're not just leaving them behind because they're going slower than you would prefer.
My cat only very rarely manages to get chipmunks and mice, but he doesn't usually kill them, generally alternating between cuddles and grooming and beating them savagely to make them jump and run. He's scared of birds after being mobbed by robins and crows.

I'm not saying your wrong, only that raising the price of fuel raises the price of everything else. Fuel prices go up, shipping prices go up, shipping prices go up, product prices go up, product prices go up, less people can afford to life. Company expenses go up, company looks for ways to cut expenses, often by lowering employment, etc...

VS coming up with cleaner and cheaper ways to fuel things, then everything goes in the other direction. Cheaper fuel = cheaper shipping = cheaper products = more poor people can eat. Companies make more money they can hire more people, etc...

I know that's easier said than done, just pointing out raising the price of fuel is not a simple solution beacuse it has extreme consequences.
Wouldn't it make sense to take the group along and have everyone turn around when it is impassable? Is the scouting because the group is physically incapable of going the extra distance when route finding is needed?

From my limited experience with Iceland's terrain I think I'd be worried about "newcomers" behind me losing the trail so I think I'd be even more wary but perhaps it depends on the group, equipment, etc. While there isn't much dense foliage out here in the Rocky Mountains I've seen many people get separated even in alpine terrain. Especially in boulder fields where groups routinely get separated and I've seen several called for rescue independently after searching for hours.
It’s also a large international collaboration, a study on the engineering challenge involved with building a fusion reactor and a way to improve the technological know how of some participants.

The truth of ITER is that the way the work is shared slow down the project considerably. It would have been much faster as a collaboration between the three or four countries in the world with actual hands on experience on large scale reactor building but ITER is first and foremost a political thing.

I can say the faq is a lie right now.

I had a spare minecraft account I migrated a while back. As an experiment, I had three friends of mine report the account for profanity. Any text field that could be filled was filled only with garbage or the name of the account

This is an account that hadn't logged on since verifying that the account got moved over, and that was long before the global moderation tools were made.

Within the hour, it was banned. When I tried getting to support, I gave up.

multiple times in that article it's admitted that being a furry is sexual--because everything is. comparing it to Tupperware parties, as if the rate of sex at Tupperware parties is in any way comparable.
> But what is the opportunity cost for RR to design and manufacture these engines versus devoting those resources to engines for Boeing and Airbus?

Less than what you offer to pay them to divert those resources, which is in turn less than what it would cost to acquire those resources by another means.

> This is more like asking some combination of Intel/AMD/Nvidia to design a custom chip and TSMC/Samsung to build it for you.

Exactly. You don't see Ford building their own fab to make the chips that go in their cars, they pay existing fabs like TSMC to make their chips.
SSL/TLS/https (the padlock symbol) prevents this.

This site will never use those technologies.

In my experience, the business use of retaining years-old metrics is overvalued, because changes in the system tend to prevent any kind of long-term apples-to-apples comparison. You’ll have changed your metrics engine, or your collector, or your tagging strategy, or your hosting strategy, or your containerization, or your deployments, or etc. etc. Even if you can find the like metrics from last year, you can’t trust that they meant the same thing then that they do now.
The voters will cast a judgement about whether that is hysterical nonsense or not.

True. But you almost never see any significant amount of that in tires.
I was programming in Z-80 assembler in that timeframe, and was pretty excited by the idea of C. I had previously thought to myself that it would be possible to create a language that simplified the tedious, repetitive tasks in assembler but that didn't add bloat or take away byte-level control like BASIC did.

I was an avid reader of Byte and 80-Micro back then.

For various reasons, I focused on other studies for a few years after that, and didn't immediately learn C until after I went to college. I'm sure if I had learned C in '83, I would have had an entirely different career trajectory.
Ensuring stability in the Middle East is a subsidy for fossil fuel consumers. It hurts the oil producers, which are the companies targeted by this bill. The war in Ukraine is a good example of this as it's contributing to their record profits.
Really? I think everybody in the entire world knows somebody who's died from cancer, and the more educated of those people know that cancer is caused by genetic mutations. Also the theory of evolution is based on random genetic mutations - a very popular theory. I think a reasonable person would therefore know that everybody gets random genetic mutations over time.

To put it concretely, if the chance of a random gene mutation is 10^-4 to 10^-6 per gene per generation, and there are 37 trillion cells in a human body, each cell containing about 20k genes, (all numbers from quick google searches) then the odds of having NO genetic mutations occur in your body in one day would be (forgive my back of the envelope math, assuming a generation is 20 years): (1 - 10^-6)**(37 trillion * 20000 / 365 / 20). My calculator can't keep enough precision to make this nonzero. i.e., everyone has genetic mutations constantly which makes the title of the article completely uninformative.
Liability is indeed strict zero sum. But you're confusing that with moral responsibility, which isn't.

They serve two different purposes. The former comes out of a zero-sum, adversarial setting where the goal is to figure out who pays for a past harm. The latter comes from a positive-sum collaborative setting where everybody is trying to improve future outcomes.

If I release a new product tomorrow, I'm responsible for what happens. As are the people who use it. But if somebody dies, then liability may be allocated only to one of us or to both in some proportion.

Again, read Dekker.
Energy that is too difficult and expensive to capture is useless. You might as well argue for power from H-bombs. They concentrate energy even more densely than a Tokamak.

I purr to cats as well. I recall visiting some friends who have cats a few years ago and purring to one of them - the cat did a double take and had what seemed to be an expression of surprise on his face - like "a purring human, how can this be?!". Everyone observing noticed his response.

I notice that the distribution is heavily skewed where the HTML/CSS/JS camp is using it for their blog or 1-person project and has been doing it like this for a decade, where the React/framework camp are the people who have done both and are working on large projects.

The basics of React are learned by 1-month novice programmers in 2022. You don't even need a build system (which is even setup for you with Next or create-react-app). At it's core, it's just a file which contains "super"-html that you can update state more easily.

I'm not saying that we should only rely on CEOs to do the right thing. We absolutely still need regulation, and mechanisms for fighting regulatory capture. But the original claim was that companies have no responsibility towards ethical behavior; I'm saying we need to strengthen the moral responsibility of CEOs, not weaken it. Sure, it isn't perfect, but it's better than "CEOs are right to do whatever they can get away with."
That might be a reason, but it is not the reason.
When I read blog posts about software engineering subjects, I automatically go into "let's learn about the discipline of software engineering" mode, and there's where that very critical eye comes from. I don't want to discourage people from writing informative blog posts, but I also think there is a lot of really mediocre information out there for a discipline that is struggling to find its "professionalism". So your sentiment of "I wasn't going to spend hours thinking hard about the best possible example to illustrate my point" really has me at odds with myself. I'd much prefer that people who write purportedly informative posts about deep subjects in the discipline do spend hours and hours thinking about it. On the other hand, I've spend thousands of hours thinking on these subjects and I've never written a blog post myself because I always fall into a spiral of feeling like it's not good enough to publish.

Software developers are reading your post, and if they enter into a mode of "here's a new concept to learn from an obvious expert", they may subconsciously (or consciously) absorb bad habits from your examples. Your blog post may actually do more harm than good to the discipline. It might be different if you had outright stated "hey these examples are from hobby project and not good examples of actual good code and you should not copy what I'm doing because it's not suitable for a professional environment." But that would rather weaken the entire effect of the blog post, wouldn't it? If your examples are not appropriate for a professional context, shouldn't you have a disclaimer that says "this blog post is only for hobbyists and is potentially misinformative for professional software developers"? Otherwise simply saying "well this is just a hobby project so it doesn't need to be good code" is a cop-out. You published this, and professional software developers are reading it.

There's not an easy answer. I want people to blog about software engineering concepts, and I don't want the bar to be set so high that nobody ever feels like their post is good enough to publish. Yet spending a couple hours finding the best possible example to illustrate their point (instead of code that is literally inappropriate in a professional context) does not seem like too high a bar to me. The best I can do is rip apart things I see as serious problems in educational posts, in the hopes that developers can read both points and take the best from each.

Used car prices have been dropping a lot recently. Like almost 1% each week in the wholesale market over the last 6-8 weeks.

This YouTube channel discusses it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb8H8sTNiRc

Prices are still too expensive on used cars, but the prices are getting better and likely will continue.
It would be, if people were actually willing to put their money where their mouth is and invest some of their own cash to take certificates off the market.

Apparently, people are unwilling to do so in meaningful numbers.

Ergo: They do not see this as an actual problem, which means problem is solved. We just need to accept that.
There was a lot of BASIC, but at least on microcomputers, there was a lot of assembly (if you needed any performance).

A guy was literally making up RINs (renewable identification numbers) in a spreadsheet and selling them to companies as renewable energy credits. The only reason he got caught is because he was buying a bunch of sports cars and leaving them parked all over his neighborhood, leading his neighbors to assume he was a drug dealer.
Unfortunately, single family homes and R1 zoning have the most impact on wildlands by converting vast swaths of lands into low density streets and houses. If you want to keep woodland, you need to densify.
