Violence is better avoided. Most people also believe violence is situationally justified in service of other values, and this is an arena in which the truth of the situation matters very much. This is why we have court proceedings where we aspire to reach conclusions of correct facts before we allow the state to apply law and sentencing that may do violence to property, liberty, or person.

The flip side is much as Voltaire is supposed to have said: "Truly, whoever is able to make you absurd is able to make you unjust" or "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Violence inspired by incorrect facts is violence automatically out of accord with worthwhile values.
Sadly evil Chinese companies like Allwinner are already moving in to benefit from the freedom of RISC-V while still doing things like locking the firmware and bootloader, producing something that is not too different from current locked-in ARM devices.
One of the criteria of a Perfectly Competitive Market is "Perfect Information":

"In economics, perfect information (sometimes referred to as "no hidden information") is a feature of perfect competition. With perfect information in a market, all consumers and producers have complete and instantaneous knowledge of all market prices, their own utility, and own cost functions. "

I live in rural NorCal and what you described became much easier after becoming a ham and finding a local amateur radio club.

The local ham radio community has its own meetups, but even just chatting about tech on the air or in scheduled on-air tech nets (there's one here every week) has been a terrific way to connect with people who are basically hackers even if they don't call themselves that.

Most of our most well-known local techies here have been involved in ham radio. Carl Sassenrath is probably a good example here where I live locally though I have only heard him talk on the air I think.

Plus with the meetups there is almost always someone providing for food & drink at the same time. One time a guy showed up and said "I needed to use up some budget money we didn't use from last time" and poof, two big boxes of donuts from a great local place, plus coffee and juice IIRC. ("That was awesome" --Kevin Malone)

Also the meetups are usually 100% free and open to non-hams as well. Just an idea. Meetups and field days are often loosely organized enough that people will seem pretty casual, maybe leave for lunch time or a taco bell run / pop home to get a lawn chair / come & go throughout the day.

Personally I got my license back in 2017 and within a year was working radio communications for a rural ultra-marathon on the coast here & helping locate a lost runner. That felt pretty wild and I met a lot of great people. And there's still not reliable cell service in that area last time I checked.

The stars are the limit for ham radio btw. A lot of people think about it in more like CB radio terms, but where I live there's been plenty of mesh networking / AREDN talk & experimentation, always something going on with digital modes in general, some radio astronomy, etc. We have access to the WIN System as well, so your handheld radio may pick up converstions between Hawaii & Ireland like mine did [0].

(Keep in mind you can also buy a ham radio or scanner radio & listen in without a license, if you're into gadgets. You could have fun learning while doing some local radio amateur group research & recon before deciding whether to dive in)

One other method to recommend: If there are small shops like internet cafes, computer stores, or local internet providers around they should 100% be able to hook you up with relevant info if you ask them.

Warning, in sufficiently rural areas & if you seem enthusiastic, you may be asked _very quickly_ to get involved in politics as they relate to broadband and (...what was it...S-M-R-T? Oh STEM) STEM, like "hey I'd like to have you join our board, this is an official invite" and it may be a good idea to mentally prepare for that regardless of your answer. This seems to happen less often in ham radio than it does when chatting with tech business owners though.

And still, I find a ton of value to being online as it's way more compatible with my introvert side and typically even closer at hand than the local resources.

Good luck to you--

Maybe I got lucky but I've always been able to figure out the rough range they were thinking of paying before the first real interview. In case of recruiters, sure, they want to talk to you first and that's 15 minutes you'll never get back.

Personally I just don't move ahead unless I have some signal about salary to not get into that situation.

The question was specifically about hiring for multiple positions at different levels of seniority. If your company is hiring for positions with differentiated responsibilities and expectations for pay, you can advertise multiple jobs and shouldn't have to make anything up.
I wonder how that would work, practically. You'd have to track down every individual shareholder and... what undo the transaction? Seems impractical.
Tough situation to navigate out of. They lost the process lead, now TSMC in particular does so much more volume that Intel is at a significant scale disadvantage (makes it harder to catch up). The margins in the historically lucrative server business are under threat as Xeon has to compete with hyperscalers' in-house chips as well as credible alternatives from AMD. Moore's law is over so the big performance jumps that justified rapid PC refresh cycles are gone. They have trouble entering new markets themselves and their M&A track record is poor. It seems very possible that Intel will never return to the strong position they enjoyed ten years ago.
That would be great. I'll send you an email later this evening. Thank you!

Wasn't the issue that the CTO was underwater and you were brought in? So, could it not be the case that he is trying to recover?

> At some point, this does just point to me being the CTO tbh.

Do you want to take over from him? If you silently feel you can do a better job than him and you want his job, it helps getting clarity for yourself about that. You envision how he should do his job if he was you. Maybe he is burnt by the past work load. Maybe he is letting you burn down, knowingly or not.
Try to make a connection on a level where you don´t judge anymore.
I think you missed some of his comment. He wrote, "Was likewise surprised to actually get people sending me money." That is him discussing his receipt of monies.

Sorta, confidence is nice but arrogance is the difference between “I can do that” and “people have tried and failed but I know I can do it because I’m better.” There’s a particular example where I was arrogant (one of the few times) about something, said yes to the project that someone else had already architected, and I re-designed the architecture because I believed I was a better engineer. I need a little more of that. Particularly now, when I have an idea for a company I want to start but internally I’m scared. I’m confident in my ability, but I’m lacking the arrogance to just fucking go for it. I spend more time beating myself up over it than just doing the work. And I wish I just had the dab of arrogance to go for it, as opposed to just confidence.
Precisely this. As an executive, it is better to pay dividends and have the company borrow if needed.
The reply button is always there: it's the left-pointing double arrow icon on the far left under each toot. (With the "sharrow" Boost icon next to that and the star icon for Like/Favorite beside that.) It even shows a count of replies sometimes (though sometimes it's things like "1+" because it isn't sure due to federation [1] or it is focused on a subset).

You can even click it when not logged in and it will give you a Federated Login popup, which is a bit confusing but even allows you to reply on a different instance from the you are looking at the public feeds of.

To see replies rather than to make a new reply you generally need to click into specific toots, in the common web UI that's by clicking the Date in the top right corner.

Some clients have nice "subway diagram" maps of reply threading rather than the straight line that the main Mastodon web client presents them as.

[1] The only instance guaranteed to see every reply is the originating instance, other instances only see a subset of replies due to vagaries in federation and who those servers follow. Sometimes even with a client that is better at threading replies it is still useful to follow toot "permalinks" to their originating instance to see deeper reply threads, especially when reading on smaller instances.

> How do you protect against government

In general; you don't. If the gov. wants to make you do something, you're going to have to do it. In many western countries, that's only a vague threat, an many others it's a lot more real.

Theoretically, you could have two components to the password: something long and random that is written down, and something easily remembered and personal. A special moment, a place, an anniversary only the two of you would know, etc.
> There are actors out there leveraging the reach of the internet to spread propaganda in their favor

The US does this more than any other country on earth, and has covert intelligence services with bigger budgets than the entirety of the budgets of many countries.

> much as the SU did

It's not 1987, and I think the US might have also done a little bit of propaganda about the Soviet Union. It may have declared war on its own citizens to stamp out any indication of Soviet sympathies for decades, even.
Truth vs disinformation vs whatever is the sideshow.

Fundamentally, what we have is the US Federal government is not allowed to take certain activities so they outsourced it to third parties.. all the while people claim these are private companies doing what they want.

I propose a new rule:

If it's illegal for a government to do, it must also be illegal for them to request, pay, demand, threaten, require, or imply that another should do it.
You can always ask.
I totally agree, but the new employer doesn't have to know any of that.
Not agreeing or disagreeing, but have you seen the stock recently? Surely at some point you have to ask if it makes stop prioritising the stock price and investors, and instead focus on the long-term sustainability of the company?
Twitter is already a echo chamber cesspool, it can only get better.
It's hilarious that you think only Marxists could disagree with you.

Saw a note today they're going to layoff a number of "highly compensated" sales people highlighting that they made even more than very senior engineers... which is an interesting plan for a company trying to salvage revenue.
> Funny you care enough to post false information to shape a narrative of your choosing but not enough to educate yourself on the subject.

I think that was uncalled for. I am not “posting false information to shape a narrative”. I was wrong about my understanding of the statute because as you pointed out my understanding of “sentencing” was incorrect.

You might take “you’re right” with a little more grace.

(You also might look into state systems. Texas runs the second largest prison system in the US. They explicitly cite rehabilitation as a role for prisons.)
From the article:

> other initiatives are underway as DHS pivots to monitoring social media now that its original mandate — the war on terror — has been wound down.

This is a chilling line, and yet so predictable. If DHS’s original mandate has wound down, I consider that an occasion to scale back DHS. But no, government bureaucracies (especially ones with immense, unchecked power) don’t just shrink away when they are no longer needed. They keep growing.
do you think a full date is required or is just a year good enough? what about a contract end date?

Wow.

I give up. I don't have the energy for this anymore.
"should alcohol be banned?"

Or cars. Or roads. Or hammers. Or any other ingredient in the process.

Useful tools like speech and hammers are equally useful for anyone and for any purpose. Fire, electricity, sharp saw blades, the wheel, money, intelligence, good looks, encryption, math, can all be used for good or bad, and there is no way to change that and seperate the utility into only utility for good.

It's misguided to try to address the misuse of a tool by controlling the tool instead of the weilder.

It just becomes a little easier to pick on something like alcohol or guns because you can say they "obviously duh" aren't useful tools or necessities like vehicles or electricity, so it's ok to act like they are somehow less inanimate or neutral or useful than other random equally special purpose things, and easier to evoke emotional reactions about them whether from puritanism or fear, than say, paint thinner or construction tools. And most people will buy that more than any academic arguments, and numbers matter more than academic reason.

So we control speech. And on private platforms, which is all platforms, they can. And only the worst a*holes and the dopiest hippies complain about it.

No, you wont. You are right. And in a democracy, eventually your rights will be curtailed by those who can’t afford or don’t know to spend that time and money.
At least in that case I can read the job descriptions of low, medium, and high before applying. If I don’t know where my salary expectations line up with the company’s job requirements at all there’s a higher chance of wasting my time.

I don't mind if there are certain companies which don't want to list their salary range. However, they also need to be respectful of candidates' time and energy.

Recently I had a company reach out to me and after asking me many questions about my background for an hour, the recruiter asks me, "What is your salary expectation?". I said I would rather not say but would be happy to let them know if their range is acceptable to me. The recruiter rambles a bit about how they recruit from all over the world and then tells me that is not how they operate and I must give a number. I refused and they hung up.
Of course it is their prerogative if they don't want to provide the number or need my number up front. But then they can be upfront about it early in the call. They should not waste my time for an hour and drain my energy in the process.

Shutdown DHS for good. It is a redundant and useless government agency created in the wake of 9/11. We already have the FBI, secret service, ICE, US marshalls, and from time to time the CIA operating in country. The DHS has no purpose and has accomplished nothing in its history.
We subscribe to three magazines (one monthly and two quarterly) as a family. The kids look forward to their arrival, and we don't have to worry about violence/porn for the little ones.

I believe we're going to see a resurgence in "traditional" print media as the novelty of it is picked up by generations who maybe weren't exposed to it much growing up. Like older millennials(35-40) and lower maybe?

Sure, if you can talk your boss/executive that a candidate is a true super-star and you should pay over the published range, why not?

The goal of this law, and others like it, is fixing the bottom end of the range to prevent low ball offers from employers that know women and minorities (and others) frequently undervalue themselves.
The US gave a report of what was misinformation and requested that social media companies respond with a report of what, if anything, was done about it. What were the repercussions of Twitter didn't do anything? Oh, none? Okay.

Agreed, used to be outlandish and questionable content was relegated to known publications such as the National Inquirer (a weekly purveyor of alien, crop circle and 90 year old grand mothers giving birth) in the US. Nowadays with the decline of journalism, and decrease in editorial objectivism, it's almost impossible to know what information can be trusted. It's a sad state of affairs.

There is one answer and only one answer to this problem.

Intellectual self defence.

Problem is, it's the worst possible answer for those in power.

Because if we the people can defend ourselves against foreign state

Yep. The GP is saying that advertisement spending is decided by corruption. On in other words, all the middlemen in those agencies that will "optimize" your spending are corrupt.
