Super cool survey! And interesting results.

Does anyone know if it shares how the answers were solicited?

Every survey of this size has substantial sampling bias (which doesn't invalidate the result, just helps us to more rationally interpret it).

[edit] there's some color at the bottom, though I'm still curious to know more.

> The 2022 Founder Salary Survey was conducted over a five-week period starting in May 2022, during which we reached out to founders through our extended networks and elsewhere online.

> We received a total of 516 responses.

> Over 60% of our responses were from either remote Founders or Founders in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Leaning on a network is a good way to scale up quickly, although it's probably the principle limiting factor on the scope of conclusions, drawn from this report.

"How much do Founders, who are 0-1 degrees of separation from a company that uses Pilot, pay themselves?" is still a pretty interesting thing to read.
It's easy to cut their commercial paper holdings to zero! They never had any to begin with!

The commercial paper market is small, and everyone in the market pretty much knows everyone else.

No one ever noticed a new player - and in the time Tether expanded its balance sheet by $30Bn - there wasn't even enough commercial paper printed if Tether bought it all: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-10-07/crypto-my...

The easiest way to preserve value in a bear market is to have no value to preserve in the first place [=
In what world does it make sense for a founder to pay themselves $1m/year in salary? One situation I could imagine is if they have a money-printing machine and outright own the business, then that would make sense. It's hard to imagine any other scenarios where that would be reasonable.
Might you not use some fuel for countermeasures during the midcourse phase?

Just because a product makes money a certain way doesn’t make that product equal to the way it makes money. I don't say, "time to turn on the local ad network" when I watch the evening news. They provide some crappy news segments, the weather, I'm slightly more informed, they in turn make money from showing ads to me. I say I "watched the news" which accurately describes what I consumed. I think we can still call Google a search engine? I mean, people still use it to search for things no?

The conclusion of the article was a little bit different than it started so I can't say there was strong argument being made for anything really here. I'll just say, I'll never get the 15 minutes back from reading this article that I learned nothing from.
The average American only drives ~35 miles per day. 1 hour may represent the average time driven per day but it’s much longer than the average trip length. Which doesn’t mean it’s a bad point of comparison but distance seems like the more common metric.

Failure intervals generally use multiple different metrics depending on context. You see statistics for fatalities per year or per passenger mile as both being relevant depending on the context. A life insurance company and a car insurance company would focus on different statistics.

The natural comparison for AI seems to be each individual situation. With City and Highway driving being different enough to be considered separately. In that context ~5 second intervals seem fairly natural because the car who accurately identified everything 0.001 seconds ago is probably going to avoid maying a major mistake for a few seconds. In much the same way a human driver can blink or look at a reed view mirror without significant risk.
It's very easy to say that "cash can be used outside of the law" is a strictly bad thing when you agree with most of the laws. But assuming that we will always be in a happy democracy is a grave mistake. We've lived in mostly peaceful times (at least domestically) for a long time, so I think people forget that.

Cash can be used outside of the law. That's exactly WHY it's important to have in a free society. To say otherwise would be saying that morality and legality are one and the same.

> He believes his kids friends are "professional actors" who were placed there to "sexualize" them

Considering the way the entertainment industry in America uses kids, this is one of the least insane things Kanye has said. Anybody with sense would try to keep their kids away from the entertainment industry, who groom children to be products without regard for their welfare. How many former child actors need to go crazy before you notice the pattern?
As a counterpoint, the founder is effectively providing financing via revolving credit line to the co in this scenario (which the consumer bank issuing the card might not appreciate, but that’s another topic). You mention well funded startups but it’s also common among small businesses for the owner to use personal credit cards (at their own risk) when the business is having cash flow issues.
Usually these aircraft are power cycled often. There is no way they are flying these planes 51 days straight with no power cycle. Maintenance checks would necessitate a restart.
I think this is it. The environment enables the behaviour and the CAUSE of said behaviour can be multiple things separately or at once. The right kind of deranged combined with the right kind of stupid? Maybe that works. Completely manipulative and not deranged at all? Maybe that works too.
I wish residents of DC didn't have to pay federal income tax :P

DC being part of California would marginally change the distribution of the House. Agreed the Senate & FPTP is undemocratic.
It's not surprising at all. There are always many arbitrary choices to make and many things that can go wrong if you try to make conclusions from data. Even worse if you try to automate making the conclusions. And because the data you have has often been derived from lower-level data, many arbitrary choices have already been made and many things have already gone wrong.

On good days, I find it a small miracle that we can sometimes make justified conclusions from data. On bad days, it feels that making conclusions from data is storytelling, not science.
This is my answer and I see it in the board room. Management feeling a lack of control as the leverage has shifted to workers is a major point of contention right now. Management is responsible for controlling costs and they have basically no control. They're also rich enough they are tone deaf to what inflation does to people at the lowest income levels. Generally they're also old enough to be tone deaf of all of the economic problems that younger generations have faced (student loans, underemployment, gig economy, etc). They also usually like to control productivity, so this is where the production of salaried employees comes into question - especially around WFH where the company/management is not bought in on that construct.

A recent example that almost made me laugh in the meeting, some of our senior living businesses have had major staffing issues (the industry pays nothing to do what is a difficult and disgusting job). Employees basically gave up working overtime or picking up extra shifts, etc. When asked why we don't leverage them more, the operations guys gave a couple politically correct answers but they kept getting drilled by some members of senior management (basically telling him to do what ever is needed to force these people to work and do it with no extra budget! ) so the guy said something like "look, we pay these people $12/hr to wipe old people's asses. They all have second and third jobs and we're almost certainly not even their #1 employer if given a choice. They literally can not get called in or pick up extra shifts when it's needed by us. They're already working a shift somewhere else. We need to pay them enough to give a damn or overstaff so there's always someone available. Both costs money but our businesses problems are not theirs so you choose"
Sounds like the flight attendant had an unusually severe case of "making shit up".
I assumed that this was the point but that latexr had been carried away by their rhetoric, like perhaps to the point of sounding a little bit loony, hence the line:

>hey I too have often been carried away by my own rhetoric but come on!
Nothing is wrong with that. It's good to be working as many bullshit jobs as possible - drain the system dry before the party is over.

The vast majority of white collar work is and has been nothing but bullshit. Agents of this work implicitly acknowledge it as bullshit when they measure work in terms of hours rather than value created. They acknowledge it when they speak derisively of "overemployment".

They won't measure work and pay in terms of value created because that would reveal their bottom line, ruining the facade and potentially ending their game.

If you can do one bullshit job, you can do ten, so go for it. The only people who have a problem with this are those who don't want to believe what they're doing is bullshit.
I love the fact that it's interactive. Wish more articles were written that way. It was also relatively easy for me to follow up till "Consistency":

> But what if theorems() contains both coll_conj and ¬coll_conj? Is that possible?

> ...

> But in general, a formal system can have both S and ¬S as theorems.

Is there an intuitive explanation for this?
Why would you inflict that on yourself?

I once saw death (exactly as most of us imagine it, dark robes and a scythe) while driving on a highway late at night, I understood the message my brain was sending me: I just took the next exit and slept for an hour (it was too cold to sleep longer, but it made a big difference on my concentration anyway).
So, the issue is that Debian has older and non-updated packages, correct?

Aka the meme about Debian's packages being stale is on-point in this case?

Surprised to see that if true, esp. since Ubuntu has it working.
Or something similar. There was a brewery in town that only took cash that everyone knew was acting as a bank for the marijuana dispensaries since they couldn't access traditional banking services and had to deal with large amounts of cash.
In the self-driving context, this reminds me strongly of Tesla Autopilot. Good enough to work most of the time, but likely would end up in greater overall injuries/accidents per mile if actually enabled at scale.

Waymo, Cruise, Aurora, and others are doing it the right way.
They do, it's called "being an airplane."
In this case, there isn't a GitHub link, as there's no repository in the Cargo.toml: https://docs.rs/crate/rg/0.1.0/source/Cargo.toml
Wish more people knew about Monero. It pretty much replaced Bitcoin on the dark web and other markets where private, anonymous transfers of money is essential. Every crypto on most KYC exchanges exposes every transaction on its public ledger. Monero and minuscule amount of other coins use cryptographic techniques to hide wallets and their history. Most other coins won't add this as they will be blacklisted like Monero. Monero has an added bonus of having good tokenomics (cough cough PirateChain). It is pretty much what most people think Bitcoin is without being a scam.
Do you think this is an example of that happening?

There's some interesting footage of Tucker Carlson exposing the way Fox operates, from a decade before he became the main guy doing it for them. Very weird to watch:

https://youtu.be/RNineSEoxjQ

Why Tucker Carlson Pretends to Hate Elites
Yeah. Maybe I’m just soft-hearted, but I really don’t think the benefit of this can be overstated. By dint of its location, configuration and instances of cultural cachet, this was a particularly unique and inspiring facility. I was pretty moved by it when I visited it in my 30s a decade ago - I can only imagine how many Puerto Rican elementary students were inspired to pursue science following a field trip to the telescope.

To me, rebuilding the scope is a no-brainer. Whatever it costs (assuming the number is in the low nine-digits), it’s worth it for the public relations value alone.

It’s too bad the Puerto Rican government is so cash-strapped - I wouldn’t be shocked if they could realize a positive ROI (based on tourism, research, local support, etc.) if the feds gave them the money that would go to clean-up and PR pursued reconstruction on its own. Unfortunately, while I think federal dollars could be put to efficient use here, I think the commonwealth has higher priorities they need to pursue.
Writing off parts of your rent as a founder or business owner is perfectly ok with the IRS. Such a space needs to have "regular and exclusive use" for running your business and be your principle place of business (i.e. you do not maintain an office outside of your home).

In my experience CPAs consider it reasonable to take the square footage of the dedicated office area and divide it by the total square footage of your home and deduct that much from your rent.

>Short of something fundamentally changing my personality,

Something like... a mental illness?
The internal timestamps are not necessarily monotone because if they were forced to be then if the single clown in front of you set the timestamp incorrectly into the future you'd be forced to do so too.

If you want monotone stamps from the block header timestamps you can post process them to make them monotone. ... if that kind of error would be superior for your purposes. For this discussion probably the best thing to do is ignore any non-monotone timestamps (and maybe the block before them too).

Because the protocol rules don't have any strong incentives for setting the timestamps precisely they're best taken as approximate.
>Isolation transformers do nothing for safety concerning the dangerously high DC voltages which the tubes run on.

Yes, you can still receive a fatal shock via one arm to the other even with an isolation transformer.

It's not true to say that it does nothing for safety, though. It provides isolation vs ground and prevents the circuit from being completed through your feet and the floor:

https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/17496/how-is...

It also limits the total current to whatever the transformer can supply before voltage starts to sag.
You make a good point, and on the other hand you're right that "reasoning about programs" is not a term of art, so who knows what it means. Given how Lean is used in the article, I took it as basically being some kind of Turing-complete language (lambda-calculus or some variant or what-not).
I think maybe this data needed to be cleaned a bit more before being analyzed. For example, in the "Breakdown of Salaries by Funding Level", in the 0 - 99.9k bracket, the "average" salary is 115k and the highest is 360k. I must be missing something basic; is the salary value computed from a monthly value, and the company will either raise more or close down within a period less than a year (having paid out less than the stated salary figure)? If so, it seems a bit disingenuous.
> This user's been on HN for a while repeating this ad nauseam.

Repeating what? The truth?

Right, Please don't engage because everyone here knows it is true.
There are two definitions of free speech going around the internet discussion boards these days it seems. One is the legal one that has existed in our country since it was penned in the constitution, which protects you from government opression from publicly held opinions. That doesn't mean you can say whatever and expect no recourse from anyone, you have no protections from being kicked out of a private place or fired from your employer under this law, just that the State will not put you in jail or kill you over these words like other states around the world do for words. The other view is that you are allowed to say whatever you like on platforms like twitter and should not be banned. It has nothing to do with twitter. Twitter is not part of the State. People making it about twitter are missing the significance of the first amendment and what society looks like in places without protections on speech and religion from the State.
A union is indeed a good form of being forearmed, and more should take advantage of it.

That said, it does not prevent all exploitation. IIRC, the FA's in this story have a union and a contract, yet this form of exploitative behavior is not prevented.
Except it is more of an international entity to be considered a governmental. Also you probably mean CERN (the organization).

I don't understand the analogy, I'm sure that CERN carries some lobbying activities but that is probably for funding purposes to carry out the scientific activities. That is different from what we are talking about here
I think that for Nietzsche ressentiment is more of a toxic by-product that is generated when traditional aristocratic or virtue-based morality (where "good" equals success, excellence, victory, etc) is inverted into modern morality (where all the things that were previously held as bad like weakness, meekness, victimhood, etc are now "good"). He associated this so-called "slave morality" with Christianity but he also saw it as a coping mechanism that came about as humans learned how to contend with increasingly structured and regimented societies.

In his view this was an obstacle to true human flourishing, and he hoped for some kind of creative renewal where people invented new values that were more authentically life-affirming.

Wikisource has the book online: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Genealogy_of_Morals

Nietzsche is probably one of the most misinterpreted philosophers out there (I definitely consider him a thinker to "handle with care"), and I'm not necessarily advocating for the correctness of his views. But I think it's interesting to see how previous thinkers have anticipated a lot of our current debates and questions.
Formal systems need not be consistent; if a formal system assumes both P and ~P as axioms, you can derive S and ~S (for any S) by explosion.
This is true (the article talks about some of what follows).

Feelings of weakness, inferiority, and envy, combined with pride, create the temptation to overcompensate (and involve all sorts of mental gymnastics involving denial, false fungibility of qualities, etc). So-called narcissists function this way which is why having their true character revealed causes such intense rage. It makes public what they feel about themselves, but wish to conceal.

Those who employ the victimhood strategy, specifically, lack the confidence or the ability to effectively bluff strength and will instead turn to manipulative and underhanded strategies like being a "nice guy", making others feel guilty, or trying to arouse feelings of pity in others in order to extract some good they could not, or believe they could not, receive otherwise. True victimhood presupposes injustice and injustice implies restitution and the legitimacy of some proportional degree of anger. Thus, by accepting a victim identity, entitled people rationalize (to themselves) their own chutzpah in making unjust claims of other people and demonizing and retaliating against those who refuse to be exploited by their emotional bullying. (This chutzpah is to be distinguished from boldness; fortune favors the bold, and the bold do not act from a dark place of entitlement, but the optimistic pursuit of opportunity.)
It's an example of a valid agglutinative word in English, by their nature many aren't enumerated in conventional dictionaries, though more commonly used ones often appear the the definitions for their primary roots.

Hopefully some day we can figure out a solution that can help brunt the lows without completely brunting the highs. Although people do dumb stuff on the high swing too.
Or for people buying or selling anything that's currently legal but that could then become illegal during their lifetime.
Not. Giving a small amount of free food (called "a tapa") when you buy a drink in a bar is part of the tradition. If is served without asking for it is a free appetizer.

Some Spanish king was concerned about the accidents of drunk people while riding or traveling at chariot between villages, and required that the vine served to travelers include some food to mitigate the alcoholic effect. To obey the new law, innkeepers started to put a slice of bread over the vine jars, like a lid covering it. The Spanish word for lid is "Tapa"; so you have your drink, and "the lid". This only applies to a bar/restaurant context.

You can order one or several tapas of "X" with your drink but in that case is an extra. You'll be served a bigger amount (or a more elaborated mouthful) of the product that you asked for, and is expected that you pay for it. (Same if you order a ration or a half ration of X).

Is not obligatory to eat it. If you are a vegan or have food allergies, just explain it politely and they will remove the offending dish, and probably bring you a more appropriate replacement if they have one.
Note the part about the false prophets, though (that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets). They would make prophecies about how everything was going to be great so they could be tight with the king at the time. When in fact everything was about to go to shit. So they lied so they could have a good political position.

Being well liked at the expense of truth is often how the world works, but what's being said here is that it doesn't play well in the upside-down kingdom of God where the first shall be last and the last shall be first.

Easy. Allow all legal speech, but make it very easy for each individual user to block what they don’t want to see.

Maybe even allow external providers to offer filters. Like an App Store but for content filters.

Let each individual decide how much and what kind of censorship they want.
The metric you're citing is followed by a table that shows they reached the ranking only by taking all public corruption cases from 1976-2020; if you look only at recent cases, we're behind Florida and California. The real issue is that this is an analysis that mostly just tracks population (it's not weighted by population).

Look, for what it's worth, I'm not trying to argue that public corruption isn't a problem in Chicagoland. It obviously is. Hopefully the fall of Madigan does something about it; really, until we get a viable Illinois Republic Party, we're going to be stuck with a political machine, just like very non-competitive state has. But people are glib about this stuff.
Dude's been blasting antisemitism on social media, in violation of long-standing, well-understood policies. Shutting down his accounts is the opposite of persecution.
So a coin deliberately designed to evade all government regulation - what the rest of us call "laws".

This seems highly negative for society. We already lose hundreds billions of dollars a year to tax evasion.
