Far from the 'main difference' -- if there was a project that just forked Nix and made that change, you could say that about it, but not about Guix, which has tons of work-hours invested and pretty much none of those work hours have to do with that.
Correct, however there are costs associated with refinancing (either "built in" or upfront) and in some cases the refinanced loan has fewer protections. For example, a purchase loan in California is non-recourse, but a refinance is not.

However, you can get "trapped" as I did if you bought near a high point, and then interest rates and prices dropped, and since I was now "underwater" I couldn't refinance, even though I was perfectly capable and did continue to pay on the original loan. Eventually the property appraised high enough to refinance again.

I see - if they are cycling out the lower performers and hire recently laid off people on the market for a bargain, then that kind of makes sense, assuming they are not in a hiring freeze.

To get a job as an entry level person, you either need to demonstrate that you have all round skills and you can fit into a team OR you need to target specific companies/teams that could utilize your existing experience (.e.g Java developer)

To do that, you first need to differentiate yourself from the 1000s of other entry level applicants. Some tips:

1. Determine if you want to apply for a specific type of role. As an entry level person who just needs a job, this is hard. But think about the employer. THey want to get Resume from people who could fit into what the employer/team is doing. So lets say you decide to find employers/teams where Java is heavily used. Go apply there.

2. Write a really good Cover Letter and do not send it generically to every employer. A generic Cover Letter is as good as No Cover Letter. Research the team and send them a unique one along with your Resume. Yes, cover letters can work in 2022 at least for entry level people.

3. Go on Linkedin and look for the companies/teams that sell product/service in areas you have interest in. If your skills match their current product/service etc, reach out to someone like "Director of Technology" etc directly. It can never hurt but only help. Be specific. I would say something like

"Hey John, I hope you don't mind me reaching out but I was wondering if there are internship opportunities in your team. I see that you do xyz and I am very interested in this field and have some experience with tools in the area as well. Can I email you my detailed Cover Letter and Resume ?"

Get creative if you want to separate yourself from the others just like you. There are jobs out there but without experience, they are always harder to find because you need to sell yourself more.

Oh yeah, it was on a plug-in prius. MSRP was I think 37K and we paid 28k. It was something like $6k in manufacturer credits because sales had stalled after Toyota ran out of carpool stickers. The dealer only knocked off $3k, and I'm sure they still made money on the sale.
I agree with your sentiment but this isn’t true, in fact for most of the Fed’s life it was not the primary creator of money.

Fractional reserve banking (which, by definition, the Fed is) creates money. If I deposit $1,000 into my local bank, and they turn around and lend $900 of that back out, that creates money.

Many of us have already dealt with a 20% haircut, at least on the RSU portion of compensation.

* Higher cost of borrowing is putting pressure on growth companies that relied on cheap capital

* Economic downturn makes it harder to do business and lowers stock prices, which makes up a big part of any 400K SWE package

* Tech companies can allow RSU grants to expire rather than implementing formal paycuts. Whereas companies in other sectors might lay off 5% of the workforce before giving everyone a 5% paycut, we may see a different trend in tech.

Food, that analogy doesn't apply because nobody is dying here.

And it is about boilerplate disclaimers. That's my entire point. "Add a boilerplate disclaimer reiterating what your license says if you really really mean it" is what your argument boils down to. How do you make it not boilerplate? Require then to write a 200 page report in their own words? If the license disclaimer means nothing, no number of disclaimers will mean anything more. If the advice helps nobody so will an additional disclaimer.
I wonder what percentage they consider “lost” every year and book as revenue?
> For the posterity of this thread American banks are no longer required to hold any reserve requirements at all[1].

That is misleading. Banks are no longer required to hold a certain fraction of their deposits in their bank account at a Federal Reserve bank--that's the reserve requirement that was reduced to 0%. Keep in mind that only money in the bank account qualifies as reserves that requirement; a literal pile of dollar bills would contribute not one cent.

Instead, banks are required to keep on hand sufficient equity for a percentage of their risk-weighted assets--money that, if the assets go to 0, can be raided to make up the losses. The requirement here starts at I believe 8%, and increases if you're a more important bank.

(If I'm computing it correctly, Tether has disclosed a capital ratio of approximately 0%, FWIW. Were Tether actually held to the same standards as a bank, Tether would be considered dangerously undercapitalized if not outright insolvent.)
I am not even sure (1) is a practical option. Remember we have increased instability due to the Russo-Ukraine war. Thus, the U.S. Department of Defense is already getting and spending more money all while more money is spent on Ukraine aid -- which ends up in U.S. Defense industry hands. Entitlements not going to change, they should have but we are post pandemic, a lot of things are messy and we are in a midterm election season. And finally taxing the laptop class more might be politically taboo -- see midterm/future election note -- and improbable as a lot of shuffling has been taking place and over taxing might/will scar "unicorns and the VC" system way too much in the long run. Recall, you can't tax capital gains if there are no gains, but huge losses. And the laptop class taxation is based on capital gains I'd say.

Option (3) is already in effect indirectly, due to inflation being world-wide, and Europe being hit much harder due to the conflict.

Like every past pandemic this one is going to hit the economy like a sledgehammer... We failed, once again.

I'm a Pacific Green so I have no allegiance to the Ds or Rs, but from where I sit, everything the left accused Trump and the Republicans of is what the Democrats are actually doing. Fascism is the unity of corporate and government power.

I've used a Chromebook a fair bit over many models. I even got a beta CR-48 when they first launched. The best models are tent * yoga style and touch enabled and also come with a stylus.

I searched the Framework Chromebook page for "touch" and found 0 results. I hope they are working towards a touch enabled Chromebook.

Plenty of us do, and did during the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. That didn’t stop those invasions just like Russian citizens protesting the current war won’t stop Putin’s doubling down. To assume everyone in Russia toes the party line is unfair to them.
>If Donald Trump becomes US president again, then, unless we take action (dissolve the union?) then we'll all be complicit, even those that voted against.

You and I seem to share similar political views in that area, but this is fundamentally untrue.

>If I stand by in my liberal enclave, paying big national taxes, then, I'll be individually responsible.

As a US citizen who has felt uneasy about knowing where my taxes have gone both at the state and federal levels, I fully understand that I am not to blame. Neither are you.

>Unless they're actively sabotaging they are complicit.

I get the feeling that you don't really know what it's like to live within a regime as oppressive as Russia. Neither do I, but because of that ignorance I'm not going to pretend that it's fair to hold those citizens accountable.
The maximim number is a multiplication of the number of human by their average CO2 impact, and currently it's too high. The average carbon footprint per person is 7 tonnes CO2e per year. 2T might be sustainable, and achievable (with smaller vehicles and less consumerist behaviors)

No one decides about it for now, like we do for other invasive species, but we should probably start considering regulating ourselves
My friend, you are getting very emotional and putting words into my mouth. Please re-read what I wrote. I've made no such claims. I said they made the documentary showcasing non-normal voting behavior. That's what it is. Non-normal doesn't necessarily mean widespread fraud and it doesn't mean the results would have been different. It just means that is not normal voting behavior and that if we care about our election integrity we should investigate it to ensure everything is handled better and better each election.

And don't view it through an anti-Biden lens either. Ask yourself if the J6 crew had been caught ballot harvesting and delivering to multiple drop-offs and sending pics to right wing orgs etc. in battleground states, would it be looked upon as suspicious? Or can we trust Trump and has supporters to abide by all the rules?

I don't view this as a democrat or republican issue, I think it just makes sense to ensure everyone agrees with the election integrity of the system. Otherwise, there could be huge problems.
It's definitely the ATT changes, literally cratered all their direct response ads on iOS (i.e. rich people).

The Chromebook edition is based on the "brya" motherboard design shared by other Chromebooks with 12th gen Intel processors, so it won't be the same as the usual 12th gen Framework board. You can install Chrome OS Flex on the standard Framework mainboard, though; I think earlier commenters have provided more detail.
Well you can always test the market, it won't hurt anyway.
This. Why should the West act as a safety valve for Russian dissidents? It's their society, they've made it the way it is, it's not like Putin created the modern Russian society. Putin is just an amalgam of forces.

LOL. The Federal Reserve System is a sham "private" bank used to get around the Constitution that does not empower the government to print money.

Agreed. It's demoralizing to have an under-performing colleague stick around for months or years. It's even worse to work with someone who's mastered the art of "talking the talk" to get a job, who makes big promises but always has some excuse for why they can't deliver, and who never actually ships anything.

Most first-level tech managers don't have the courage to fire fast enough. The best feedback I've ever gotten from a member of my team is that I should have fired under-performers faster to preserve the motivation of my top-performers.

It's absurd that someone who has negligible, or oftentimes negative impact, should stick around claiming their $250k participation check every year.
Could be. There's a recent dip in median Sunnyvale home prices that might be this, but I wasn't following the news enough to tell how closely the Fed decision aligned with expectations.
There's already software that can imitate a person's voice, so we have all the pieces already to do speech-to-text, clean up with GPT-3, and back to text-to-speech in the original person's voice. Maybe with a style transfer to keep the person's inflections etc the same?
I'd encourage you to consider what communities should do about an organized, violent police force which has and will continue to perpetrate violence against them, while claiming their purpose was to protect them. I think dispanding them and creating different services in their place is what follow naturally from your list of potential solutions.
"I ain't no fortunate one, no"
Yes, otherwise others might learn something that's wrong.
Wouldn't a 'plug' working in a store work around that?
But they are telling that to everyone. I'm not making a joke. Even back in April a Russian State Duma member made a radio poll if they should nuke Baku. That was after the first skirmishes between Azerbaijan and Armenia back then, or it may have been March. I don't remember how many but the number of people who asks for their neighbor's capital to be nuked was at least a third of the callers.

So threatening to nuke somebody is completely routine for Russian government and as it seems for not insignificant parts of the angry population too.

EDIT Here's an article about it: https://eurasianet.org/russian-mp-threatens-to-nuke-azerbaij...

I have to add that "Delyagin’s comments were swiftly condemned by senior Russian officials" - but as I said, making the threats itself is routine even for people in government positions.

At this point it's become rather meaningless to take too much notice of such frequent occurrences. Even Putin cannot help himself alluding to nukes, so it's not like you could point to certain people in particular that would be more worth listening to.

In the end, does it matter? If it was possible that threatening nukes gets you whatever you want - and what Russia wants right now is really big and bad - then they could just go and do whatever afterwards. I think the only logical conclusion is that one has to ignore the threats and act as if it's only used as political and propaganda weapon. The possibility that someone will do much more has always been there, but never has it made the West back down in whatever fight it came up in, despite repeated close calls. Right now the losses of giving in would be much higher and longer lasting than in many of the previous instances. I doubt even the Cuban missile crisis was as big a deal as giving Ukraine to Russia would be. Ukraine has industry and resources in large amounts, and people, and it would be a huge boost to Russia's strength to control it all. Whether they can after hat they did is another question, but lets not underestimate the power of a brutal police state. At the very least they will spread tons and tons of misery, more and much longer than they already do, and they will have significantly more control over Europe.
Technically, may be not yet. I work with a developer from Ukraine whose parents are not that old. His father cannot come visit him because he is not 60 yet. But he hasn't been drafted either.

In all fairness, the Russian people had

* a chance to stop the KGB in 2000, possibly in 2004

* at least fifteen years to get another passport in a great environment before 2014

* an opportunity to oppose the war in 2014 when that didn't mean getting fired and likely jailed

* another 5 years under more challenging but still workable circumstances to run away

* half of 2022 for really desperate actions

At this point those still in the country have nobody else to blame for their situation unfortunately.

The scale of the tragedy for the Eastern Slavs is reaching truly historical proportions. The 21st century was not supposed to be like that and I don't really want to know what's next.

Other roles have more direct analogues in other industries that keep compensation stickier. Eg, corporate finance/strategy/legal/etc can just transition industries pretty cleanly, with similar comp. They get paid less in the good times, true, but if the downturn is concentrated in tech, other companies would still be happy to have them.
