> People in tech keep thinking more tech will solve problems and they keep underestimating the flexibility of the old models.

Related to this, but in a completely different context, I have had similar thoughts lately when eating out at restaurants in Spain. It's incredibly frustrating from a customer's point of view when the waiter taking your group's order has to use a newfangled tablet or phone-like device and tap through each individual order, often depending on the peculiarities of the app's UI and how the designers expect the process to carry out: “Are you all having the set menu? No? OK, first I need to know how many of you are having it?" [taps count on screen] "Right, now I need the starters but ONLY for the set menu orders..." etcetera—you get the idea. Then, while going through this unnecessarily slow process, God forbid someone who ordered from the set menu wants to change their main while the waiter is already taking the à la carte orders.

Meanwhile, in restaurants that haven't unnecessarily techified the procesz, the waiter can take the order in the way that's most practical given the circumstances and that best fits his way of taking notes. Ah, but then how does the order reach the kitchen without the tech? I have no idea, all I can say is that it worked fine before these things were put in place, and the manual system is by far the quickest and most flexible from a customer's point of view.
> When you normalize by looking at the death rate per person-mile, the numbers are very different. If you're trying to decide "what is the safest way to get to work"[...]

This is a strange metric to use though, because you're unlikely to walk (say) 20 miles to work, while you might drive that distance. Unilaterally choosing to walk or bike to work rather than drive in such a situation also typically means moving closer to work.

I think a more useful metric to use when talking about safety for an individual would be a per-trip metric. I might have a 40 minute walk to the office where someone else would have a 40 minute drive to theirs, but they are functionally the same trip.
Sometimes, or that could be a partial reason as a signal to current and future employees about what management is like.

But NDA is another reason, or even keeping unemployment insurance premiums low by having everyone that accepts severance state that they are voluntarily leaving the company in exchange for the severance.

By voluntarily separating, they cannot collect unemployment benefits from the state, which means the state charged the employer less in unemployment insurance premiums.
My source comes from watching the IRC channels every single day, and seeing what users complain about and how long it takes to get fixed, compared to before the switch to stream. And for important security fixes there's a huge change - I've seen upwards of two weeks for kernel vulns in 8-stream that would have been O(hours) previously.
> don't actually know what they would be willing to pay someone.

As an employee, sounds like not my fuckin problem. I'm not about to go through 3 phone screens, a take-home test, a full-day onsite, etc. just for the privilege to be low-balled or even worse denied.

> I think it will be about $X

Oh! So looks like it's not that hard to ball-park a number off the top of your head. I don't get this "how the world really works" junk. How the world "really works" right now is that job searchers are having their time wasted and don't have tools to determine what the market for various positions looks like. For work that apparently amounts to texting the on-staff recruiter I couldn't care less.

> if the ad doesn't specify salary...just don't apply.

So all job postings before these laws have been put into effect? Looks like someone doesn't understand how the world really works.

RTFA. The job range has to be "in good faith" if the job posting encompasses a range of experience levels, that's allowed. The range just has to be "in good faith". That's such a low bar to clear and from your own hypothetical the work required from the employer is basically nil.
Um, are you aware that this quote was uttered to justify the prosecution of a man for protesting the draft in WWI? And that is legal today to shout it as loudly as you want?
The situation you describe is real, sure. However, the situation you describe is far from the majority of recruitment. Most companies have a budget, most companies have a salary framework. Yes, in the minority of situations in which a company truly has no budget for a role then these rules don’t work very well… but that’s relevant to a tiny subset of the top end of the market, and at that level, job postings are much less important. The positive outcome of these rules far outweighs any inconvenience experienced by employers with no budget.

edit: regarding your edit, which companies have you recruited for? I would bet my own career that you’re wrong to suggest that recruitment works like this for more than 10% of companies.
Attacking ideas rather than individuals is a great start.

Censorious actions are, to my eye, attacks on individuals; especially when power is transferred/controlled/manipulated under the guise of "positive" group think.

Many cliches apply, sweeping under the rug, kicking the can down the road, turning a blind eye.

Well-intentioned good faith conversations about integrity, accountability and forthrightness are in vogue :)
> Loads of performant code is really hard to read because it's full of magic that speeds things up.

That's if you go down to the lowest levels of optimization. The kind of things you see in compression, hashing, sorting, codecs,... Really hardcore optimization because otherwise, you wouldn't be able to watch that video at without turning your device into an heater, if at all.

But in more reasonable cases, simpler code often turns out faster. The less you do, the faster it runs, which is kind of obvious. Readable code is also a good thing for performance, if is easier to see and fix inefficiencies if the code is readable. A good part of performance problems are simply bugs: memory leaks, operations done several times for no reason, etc... and many others are fixable with no loss in readability, for example by using the proper data structure.

As for the last part, use a profiler, there is no point optimizing without a profiler. If you don't have a profiler, then good luck, it is doable, like investigating a crash without a stack trace is doable, but it is horrible.

One thing I do no matter what: always use the algorithm with the best big-O complexity available, unless you have a good reason not to. You may think you don't have enough data for that O(N^2) or worse to matter, but it can change, in fact, this is the most common type of change, and once you get in the zone, it can get really slow really fast, lookup "accidentally quadratic".
Our past productivity also came with some of the longest working hours per year of any nation, iirc. Our pay never got improved and our living conditions worsened, we work too long, and we're sick of killing ourselves for corporations to become insanely rich. Of course we're not productive, we're sick of the bullshit.
Your client is probably trying to limit your overhead.

I’ve hired hundreds or low thousands of people. Corporate, government, SMB. Never did i go into that process without a budget target or salary band with budget. I would say that to a contract shop or recruiter to avoid having a budget of $100, a bid for $101, and a contractor making $28
Your citation literally proves my point...
> On the other hand, I'm aware that certain influential figures explicitly manipulate their speech in order to primarily amass personal power regardless of any second-order effects. E.g. cults are horrible, even though people are freely congregating, they just feel like they can't leave because of the emotional abuse these influential figures are heaping via their speech.

If they're that influential, then what chance do laws limiting free speech have at curtailing their efforts? The solution seems to be pass laws that only effect the average citizen and ignore the obvious differences in scale with these flagged "problem cases."

> the loved one of a politician was severely injured because of someone who believes the incorrect speech of influential figures

Is there actual evidence of that? I mean, which exact "influential figures" lead to this crime? What writing of theirs were the most provocative to this individual? What should we be considering when examining this situation? Is there anything other than vague accusations?

> So what's to be done about the actual, real harm being done, while also protecting free speech? I don't want to assume that assaulting people is just the cost of free speech.

It seems to me that's exactly what you're doing.. and you've not made the connection between free speech and generalized harm in anything but a casual way. This makes people exceptionally uneasy, you're suggesting that a defined right should be curtailed simply because there's an implication in one particular notable situation.

And why is this _one_ newsworthy situation being used to spark this debate? Doesn't this raise questions of inappropriate "influence" itself? Again, we know nothing about this individual, yet all kinds of motivations are being ascribed to his actions all in service of suggesting that "a little too much free speech" might be responsible here.

This entire line of thinking makes my uneasy.

Much like real estate agents, their best interest is to close the deal at any price. They'll make more money getting the employer a bargain and a second req.

There is a reason real estate agents homes sell for more than anyone else's -- because they know the real value of the market and have an incentive to go high when it's their own home. Recruiters are the same.

> They win absolute performance on Desktop CPUs but lose on perf-per-watt.

How is that possible? They have better thermal design or something?
Most Americans flip out at things like replacing street parking with bus lanes, or allowing for higher density zoning than detached single family houses in large lots.

We're a million miles away from "draconian" measures. I've been to Sweden a couple times and they're not exactly laboring under the authoritarian boot of multi-modal transport. If anything, the fact that most places in the US de facto mandate car ownership to do anything is far, far more draconian than providing residents with a variety of options.

I don't deny that cars are tremendously useful, but we've nevertheless managed to overuse them.

You'd think he'd have sacked Tesla's self-driving unit's employees several times over if this was the case.
Yeah, that. One of the driving points of RHEL (and all the downstreams as a result, like Rocky) is that you get a minimum of 10 years of support for every release.
If some random group of people who don't know me, don't know my labor or my legacy at an organization, don't know my technical abilities, etc. fired me based off the quantity (and subjective quality) of code I produced in the last 60 days, even with 10 minutes to defend myself, I would be spitting mad at the disrespect and dehumanization. Particularly if I know I was being fired days before a stock refresh.

No, this is pissing on people and claiming it's raining.
That work is being actively aggressively sabotaged by his instantly emerged pattern of promoting unambiguous right-wing agitprop and disinformation, using the classic "I'm just asking question" stance used by prominent fascists like Tucker Carlson.

Stoned-Musk may think it's funny; fascist-friendly-Musk may think it's useful to keep the left distracted, angry, and off "his" site...

...where grifter-Musk sees the eventual ROI is less clear. Maybe a dystopia is good for the long-term bottom line in kick-backs by a single-party state who knows and rewards their friends?

Promoting disinformation to provide chaff and cover for GOP uneasy with an attempted assassination of the Speaker of the House which as 100% stochastic terrorism resulting from relentless histrionic neofascist dehumanizing grievance hysteria for decades, including explicit rhetoric about killing said Speaker,

is more than stoned-Musk meme-trolling.

It's actively, corrosively, undermining functioning democracy and empowering a right wing increasingly openly embracing violence.

QElon has gone over the edge.
The media has never only communicated fair and factual information, but the biases of previous eras were less blatant. Chomsky detailed a lot of these cases where very similar cases of Soviet actions were covered much more harshly than comparable or even worse actions done by Americans or American allies. This is normal stuff, but it felt like this bias was done largely because American journalists were American and naturally, this is how many saw the world.

We now have this divide in America where the difference between the journalist class and wide swaths of America are as wide as the gap between the Soviets and cold-war era journalists. So we have this strong bias whereby don't want to report anything that in any way legitimizes the viewpoints of the 'bad people' (e.g., anyone with viewpoints deemed to be 'populist), even if, particularly if those viewpoints are actually popular.

The problem is if they make up fairy tales about how the Taliban are a bunch of sweethearts and freedom fighters during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, how would US citizens of the 1980s know? On the other hand, if they massage the truth about something that happened down the street, citizens are bound to notice and naturally, lose all faith in their reporting.

The senior management who were fired "for cause" are all examples of how golden parachutes are properly used, and they all performed to the highest possible standard: They delivered a full-price payout to shareholders.

The "for cause" bit is a transparently vindictive breach of contract. They will get their money and then some. In fact they may know some lawyers who know how to take Elon's money.
"When I approached the CEO, he basically acknowledged it's a problem and put it on me to bring it up with the CTO however I see fit."

I think the CEO needs to pay more attention to this. A bit of a red flag that the CEO dismissed this casually unless they think you are being unreasonable. If my team member brought to my attention that the CTO is not doing good, I would take that very seriously.

Having said that, you could try to understand what's going on with the CTO and that depends a lot on your own relationship with them. I would tread carefully though.
Exactly, I find this entire discussion incoherent. Drake Equation can demonstrate that the universe should be teaming with life, or it can also demonstrate that we might as well be the only life in the universe: just pick different numbers and no one knows how to pick which numbers to multiply. Until we have more evidence, this is all unconstructive speculation. As a matter of fact, that we can observe the universe and see that it's not teaming with life, is the best argument against assuming the universe is teaming with life. If you were to ask me (and I am a layperson, so you shouldn't) what seems more likely to me is that no matter how large the universe is, life is still rare enough that there is probably no other life in our light cone, which is why our galaxy is not colonized by some other civilization. Of course, we have no evidence to support this, it seems also possible the universe is somehow dense with life but we don't see it for other reasons. It's all speculation.
Yes but i see about 90% of people using them on sidewalks unfortunately
Yes there is. Use a PBKDF to turn the password into a (public key,signature of session cookie or challenge nonce) pair, and send that to the server. The server stores the public key in place of a salted password and validates the signature in place of password comparison. The 'seasoned' key-signature pair is useless for any later session.
I feel like supply chain issues are worth a mention here. The labor market has been super hot, and finding new employees is a chore. At the same time a number of sectors outputs have been rate limited by supply chain issues. Do you reduce shift work and lay off salaried staff while you wait for the supply chain to catch up, or do you use a combination of stimulus money, cheap debt, equity sales, etc... to bide your time until things are back to normal?

In the last year or two, at the peak of the employment boom, the answer was almost certainly to bide your time. If and when the supply chain returned to normal, you would then be in a good position to restore output to meet demand. If you had laid off a bunch of folks, you would have found yourself scrambling to rehire in one of the worst employment markets (for employers) in history.

However, with interest rates rising and a potential recession in the near term horizon, that equation might change. We could (and already) seeing more layoffs. I think after a year or two, we are going to start seeing productivity snap back as a result.
On their github [0] they mention that they like making compilers, and on the about page on their site [1] they say they like tinkering with new languages.

> They limit the amount of mixed use, medium density housing because it would crash the market for new car dependent suburbs which provide the funding for road maintenance and construction.

It is my understanding that many car dependent suburbs got subsidies from higher levels of government to build new roads [0], which allowed them to expand their tax base, but that the density of their taxpayers, per mile of infrastructure, is not enough for longer term expensive maintenance after several decades. This applies not just to roads, but also water and sewer infrastructure. Cities with ten times the density of suburbs have an easier time paying the fixed per-mile portion of infrastructure costs.

The infrastructure in suburbs has already been subsidized, and may need more subsidies. Or services will degrade.

I don't know that anything you said above conflicts with what you said about mixed use, I wasn't sure about the funding part though.

Harvard already effectively pays for the entire tuition if you can't afford it. They have decided that preserving the endowment for future crises as well as funding other aspects of a college (running a research university actually costs a ton of money, around if not more than $100k per student) is a more important goal than ensuring that students who have families making $300k+ a year go free.

Yes. It makes it easier for them to hire down the road. If you know there is a parachute waiting for you, it’s easier to take a risk on joining the company once it starts growing again.
