And Who's Hiring posts are not covered by this law or requirement.

Most jobs have official job postings. It's those that need to carry the salary requirement.

If I'm telling a friend, Hey, there's an opening in my company, you wanna apply, I am not required to tell him the salary range. However, when I point him out to the job application page where he can get more official information on it and can apply for it, that should carry this information, or at least link to it.

Not a lawyer neither, but in the leaked testemony of his to congress, he states multiple times that he didn't want to file for Chaoter 11 and even ordered people not to. Sounds a little bit incriminating, postponing Chapter 11, insolvency proceedings and all that.

I took that line as tongue in cheek. The whole article is kind of making fun of people who think decentralized/federated platforms will solve all problems with social media, so it's also making fun of the type of people who would say something like that.

A random thought from the same era popped in my head a few days ago:

“‘Abort, Retry, Fail?’ was the phrase some wormdog scrawled next to the door of the Edit Universe project room. And when the new dataspinners started working, fabricating their worlds on the huge organic comp systems, we’d remind them: if you see this message, always choose ‘Retry.’”

Do you have a source on this that breaks out unemployment by sector? 100k tech sector layoffs could be easily overshadowed by holiday season retail hiring.

It's a straight answer sufficiently couched in jargon that a non-technical person still isn't likely to understand the problem or how to resolve it.
I routinely hire developers in 24 hours from initial contact. It's fun watching them get random recruiter calls two or three weeks later. "I'm not interested, I STARTED my new job three weeks ago. No, I'm not willing to leave for that. Have a nice day." Except the "Have a nice day" part is usually less friendly and polite.
The industrialised manufacturing and sale of highly addictive (an important distinction vs alcohol) and highly toxic product that is the source of a wide scale multi decade drain on the public health … yeah I can see why we might want this one banned.

As a kid I didn't see the point of abort, fail, and ignore. How about

I think there is an important missing part of this argument that many of the current paths to move dollars around that network in the traditional system take either days to settle and/or cost quite a lot in fees. I see crypto having potential to optimize lots of things and introduce extra trust from a technical infrastructure standpoint. Right now my traditional money is sitting in several digital banks or brokerages that I have no idea how well made they are underneath, I just see a website I can interact with. Crypto doesn't solve problems about where the coins meet the real world, even a stable coin with publicly auditable holdings to back it can have secret debt leveraged against those assets. Those problems seem only possible to resolve with regulation as it has been with the traditional financial system, but standardizing protocols to move money around and reducing lead time and/or fees as crypto evolves could really help the financial system be more flexible. With everyone carrying around a smartphone it really should make us question why so much money needs to move through the major credit card networks, we don't need their special hardware anymore.
Perhaps. I’m guessing that the sting will wear off and newcomers will venture into crypto sometime in the future. I personally view these crashes as a necessary cleansing since so many scam/meme projects get created every go around.

6 months is fast. I sold our first on premise customer. $1M internal budget to simply hook up the hardware. The project was delayed a year due to budgeting and logistical issues. And this is a large financial institution, which is used to managing on premise hardware.

Also, it's expensive, but cloud is a competitive strength. If you manage your own hardware or VPS, that is not only a reliability risk, but a huge competitive weakness in B2B. One of our competitors use "we are the only true cloud vendor" as FUD.

It's kinda nice to hear that things that sound obvious actually are. All these seem like they can be summed up with: treat your potential hire like you'd want to be treated when you're looking for a job. Would it be naive to assume that similar rules apply for retaining workers?

I think some users liked Twitter exactly the way it was, so yeah, there was no need to change anything. Other users were literally blacklisted, or blocked from search, or banned. Or they wanted to follow such people and couldn't.

Yes, some of them were actual trolls or spammers, but many were just ideologically misaligned with Twitter the company (and/or their advertisers).

I think the problem to solve is how can we allow people to communicate AND DISCOVER other people's opinions without a particular company/organization making that decision for them.

Websites aren't good enough because they aren't very discoverable and don't have a robust discussion mechanism. I don't even think Mastodon allows this because admins seem pretty opinionated and end up cutting out chunks of the fediverse without the users' consent.

I'm not sure what the solution is but that is a real problem and it does seem necessary to "decentralize" to some extent as every group will always have conflicting opinions with other groups

Nothing prevents being decentralized and continuing that route but it requires more knowledge , it is harder , still has risk and crypto would not be as large with out the central players. Centralized and regulated crypto exchanges keeping the ability to have decentralized wallets is the best of both worlds. That is the way this is going barring making it illegal to hold your own wallet or sending decentralized payments which certainly isn’t an impossible scenario.
So aside from the totaling the points on sentencing guidelines, wire fraud actually maxes at a 20-year sentence per statute, and like Elizabeth Holmes, convictions for multiple counts are usually served concurrently. SBF fucked up a bit in that wire fraud that affects financial institutions (Counts 3/4) max at 30-years. But as a first offender, it'd be highly unlikely he sees more than half of that.

You can dive through US DOL JOLTS report if you want to understand this. Big tech did layoffs. IT departments still need people.
As an example, police departments in the US are decentralized, in that there's no overarching police authority in the US; there are local police departments, various state-level police departments, and various federal departments.

The state police doesn't really have oversight over the local departments. In fact, I don't think anyone really has oversight of local police departments except possibly for local voters.

They are all bound by the various laws, but within those laws they have tremendous amounts of flexibility.

It's in their self-interest to cooperate, but they don't have to cooperate if they don't want to.
The point of the law is to prevent anyone born after 2008 from buying cigarettes. Hardcore users that are older than that can continue to purchase tobacco.

> E.g. instead of autocomplete ... split the window, open the other source file in the second pane, jump (by text-based search, if you weren't already there) to where the definition is, highlight the word and copy-paste it back to the first pane.

Just to be clear, are you being serious? I mean this is what I do too when autocomplete doesn't work, but it's very obviously far inferior to actual autocomplete.
The decentralised technologies are still groundbreaking and trustworthy. But you can’t market that, so it doesn’t get adopted. The lowest common denominator goes for the stuff that’s heavily advertised, like centralised exchanges (scams), stablecoins (scams), and leveraged retail investing (scam). If Tom Brady got paid to make an ad, surely that means the product is trustworthy?! You can’t fight human stupidity.
I absolutely will be, but I do not have a reliable blog link to give you yet. I'll send you a message when I have one. My plan is to release weekly blog posts, stream development on Twitch, and vaguely attempt to monetize the process not just the result.

Thanks for asking! I found your questions exceptionally motivating. :)
Great, now you've got this weird logic on your style guide that your code reviewers will have to point to, and hopefully the new engineers on your team will remember. But maybe they're in a hurry and will quickly add another expression just this one time, multiplied by many engineers.

It's far simpler to ban use of unless.
My guess is a lot of what we’re talking about comes down to expectations, and definitions.

I haven’t experienced what you have to that extent directly. I was poor growing up by American standards, and that is a different bar.

I’m curious about your take on this -
Someone being able to enjoy their kids growing up, or see the value they bring to the people in their lives, or feel the importance in their role in keeping everyone alive, is a large part of my definition of happiness. It goes more towards ‘contentment’? Or purpose.

It includes processing the hard things, and finding the value in getting through them too, and the feeling of being good at what someone does and who they are.

For others, their definition of happy is the excited state of enjoyment (laughing, glee, etc).

For most, it’s a mix of the two.

Near as I can tell, getting rich often requires a significant degree of not being reasonable or content with the status quo. Sometimes ‘getting rich’ here is more about not being poor. Sometimes, it can be ‘there is never enough’.

Being content for someone in that state can happen of course, and after someone gets to a certain degree of wealth, tools to make it easier to get or maintain it are more readily available, but so are tools to hurt oneself. I’ve seen a lot of people hurt themselves on this front over the years.

A lot of the contentment elements here are also quite difficult to feel productively for someone with material wealth. Mucking out a chicken coop because it’s nasty and you need healthy chickens to survive is a very concrete thing with a clear chain from ‘problem’ to ‘solved’.

It is a very well-designed language for many (although of course not all) applications. Most of the ecosystem revolves around scientific computing so you may find there is a bit of a learning curve / sparse existing libraries if you want to use it for game development.

Also, on the language side, Julia is optimized for total throughput, which means even though it is easy to write extremely fast code, it sometimes suffers latency issues during stop-the-world garbage collection or JIT compilation. Julia gives the experienced developer tools to avoid this, but especially for those less practiced with the language it could potentially be an obstacle for real-time games like FPS--of course if you are developing a turn-based game this is less of a concern.
Not so much. Holmes guideline sentence redlined the sentencing levels too; she got a significantly lower sentence than the guidelines allowed.
Occam's razor. I think the explanation for this treatment is much simpler, investment. Lots of these mainstream media corps probably have some interest in dammage control in crypto's price.. or they were being persuaded to be gentle by influential contacts in finance with intrest in stability. For instance, we know now Black Rock had a very significant stake in FTX. Its not totally crazy to think they might have reached out to Bloomberg or the Financial Times to keep the pressure off SBF.

Consider the alternative where the media "slammed" SBF on the daily, it would further discredit crypto and lead to a faster decline in value, therefore it would be harder for financial institutions to efficiently devest from crypto without significant losses.

Sorry, typed this on my phone.
When considered logically the correct amount of inflation should be 0% - neither inflation nor deflation. This would give us stable prices and make it much easier to calculate what is increasing or decreasing in price without this other fuzzy “inflation” metric affecting it. However governments / central banks have convinced us that 2% is “correct” despite no evidence or research. It does help them print money and bail out governments, however!
> This may turn out to be no improvement at all: just an indication that with enough power and energy, we get a slight energy payback. Or, this may be a method that can be greatly improved. We'll see.

Also two observations to be optimistic: it seems that the sensors were damaged because it exceeded its specifications (so we only know the lower bound of the produced power), and the NIF laser is old (which means it's inefficient). The only (skeptical) worry is that this announcement might lead to another fraud positive investigation event a la Ninov or Schön. I honestly hope not.

> Their software is not open source.

Notably, the only other serious competitor in the space is also not open source. Sure, you can probably carefully construct a phone from only FOSS, with some compromises of course. But this is unfeasible for regular users, who have for all practical purposes only two choices. And those same users are unlikely to go for alternative replacements for built-in functionality just to reduce their exposure. Convenience wins every time.
Well, if the last few years have taught us anything, it is that cynicism is always warranted.

Basically, the very big and undeniable shit hits you, immediately, right now, with regularity, while the hypothetical bits of maybe good news always are touted as breakthrough even though they will just be "for some times later".

Also, if I read the few cheerful comments correctly, this type of fusion basically means that ITER is a waste of time (so the lesson is, even in science, "internationnal cooperation ? shmooperation".)

Also, it's depressing to know that I'm too dumb to really help in any of the good fights, but that I'm constantly contributing to the shit.

So, yeah, kudos to the researchers, let them keep up the good work, but, maybe, only call it a "breakthrough" and have the press conference when it lights a bulb somewhere ?)
I'm not about the 80 MB... but I'm rather concerned by the proliferation of Electron-based applications. They use way too much system resources. Like Chrome does... but for a browser (which is kind-of a "heavy" application) I still understand.
>You claimed solar has too low EROI to be viable.

Nope, I said that it's lower than other sources of power, and thus an energy economy based on solar will look very different than what we currently have.

Given that electricity represents a relatively small percentage of our power usage, in the majority of cases (materials manufacture, industry, heating, etc), the EROI of renewables will be worse than fossil fuels.
Development has definitely slowed and the creator has moved on to other things.

I've played around with it and my main takeaway is that it's easier to create an actor system in an existing language than to create an entire ecosystem around Pony.
It's been questioned whether that estimate is low, but the frequently cited LD50 for nicotine is 0.8-1 mg/kg, so by that metric a .7 mL Juul pod of pure nicotine would be more than a lethal dose.

There’s no denying that people “hodling” projects like “DickCoin” are probably having a bad time. I’d suspect that people who invested in more sound projects (Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example) might do just fine in a few years.

Can we discus recovery? The Madoff trustee was able to recover something like 90% of the Madoff Ponzi. Alameda and FTX's real estate purchases have value, as do their VC investments, purchases of bank stock, etc. In other words, it's not all gone. My understanding is that even some of the political contributions can be clawed back.

FTX's purchases of IOU's (i.e., crypto) that declined in value are not likely to be recoverable. But Bitcoin still has substantial value. There's at least a billion in loans to insiders that can be clawed back.

How much really was lost?
