Probably because of selection bias: most of the huge tech companies are headquartered in CA, not CO, and of those, the ones that are just batshit insane when it comes to hiring are also found more in CA than in CO.

And then because Netflix considered themselves a "dream team" snowflake, they even have a "we may decide to fire you if you're not the absolute best each week every week". But because of how they implement that, it really means "we'll fire you if you and your manager don't click". From https://jobs.netflix.com/culture:

"To strengthen our dream team, our managers use a “keeper test” for each of their people: if a team member was leaving for a similar role at another company, would the manager try to keep them? Those who do not pass the keeper test (i.e. their manager would not fight to keep them) are given a generous severance package so we can find someone even better for that position—making an even better dream team. Being on a dream team is the thrill of a professional lifetime, and team members are incredibly supportive of each other. This is why "You make time to help colleagues across Netflix succeed" is a valued behavior."

This is not a good company to work for, even if the people working there are amazing people to work with.

So Google wants to profit from it. Is that really surprising? It's a private company and will seek profit. It would be foolish of them to start a project if it only results in losses.

The research could potentially benefit humanity and the medical field, which means the interest isn't "nothing but nefarious".

Nobody's DNA should be harvested and given to a private corporation, no matter what the purported purpose.

I strongly suspect no place would pay 800k otherwise. The reality is these companies cannot simply have 800k positions with well defined criteria - these compensation levels are reserved for people that would be especially painful to replace, and the criteria are rarely cut and dry. You could come up with a bigger hammer to prevent these practices, but in the end the exceptional employees are the only ones to lose - I bet companies would love there to be a blanket ban on large compensation in the industry.

IANAL but this makes it look like the case is so strong against her that she's just throwing herself at the mercy of the courts. All the cooperation buys her is brownie points with the judge, who might decide to make an example out of her anyway.

As an avid inline-skater, another con to inlines is that they can be quite the hassle to put on and take off. And when going inside a building, you have to stuff them in a large enough bag or tote them around.

Being able to simply strap in the shoes you're already wearing is pretty enticing.

Yes it is.

Perhaps Netflix is not _breaking_ a law, which itself may have been written by "dilettantes", but this action certainly disabuses us of the notion that Netflix has any intention to adhere to the spirit of the law, which was to reduce racial and gender-based salary gaps.

I am simultaneously amazed that new homes can be built in any significant quantity and also not surprised at all that new homes in my area are starting at $400k plus. Due to the lack of and cost of labor it’s just not economically feasible to build lower cost starter homes.

This clearly does not comply with the law [0]. The listed range is based on total comp which it justifies with an appeal to Netflix’s “compensation philosophy”; the law, however, specifically defines the “pay scale” that must accompany a posting as being the “the salary or hourly wage range that the employer reasonably expects to pay for the position” [1], not total compensation, and the law does not include an exception for alternative compensation philosophy.

[0] even ignoring the sizs of the range and the use of “reasonably expects” in the law, which I suspect, unless there are some very unusual factual circumstances applicable to the position, would also be problematic

Given the extreme complexity of the modern CPU chips and the parallelism of their internal processes, as well as the fact that the “architecture” (the instruction set, registers, etc.) is now far removed from how things are done at the hardware level, - does the notion of a “CPU cycle” still make sense?

Avoid what behavior? If that's the possible range of salaries they'll offer for the role then they're doing exactly what the law intends.
This isn't the case at Netflix, who famously offer cash salaries and an option to elect to forego some salary in exchange for options. There are no RSUs at Netflix.

Also, RSU+cash salaries are almost universally quoted in year-of Total Direct Compensation, that is share value of the newly granted shares at the time they are granted each year, so volatility doesn't affect the TDC, only the actual realized TC.
Pay scale is defined as:

> the salary or hourly wage range that the employer reasonably expects to pay for the position.

This posting likely violates it as the position specifies a level and at that specific level that whole range is not reasonable.

However enforcement requires a complaint:

> 432.3. (d) (1) A person who claims to be aggrieved by a violation of this section may file a written complaint with the Labor Commissioner within one year after the date the person learned of the violation. The complaint shall state the name and address of the employer and shall provide a detailed account of the alleged violation, as may be required by the Labor Commissioner.

and the fines aren't large.

> (4) Upon finding that an employer has violated this section, the Labor Commissioner may order the employer to pay a civil penalty of no less than one hundred dollars ($100) and no more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per violation. The Labor Commissioner shall determine the amount of the penalty based on the totality of the circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the employer has previously violated this section. For a first violation of subdivision (c), no penalty shall be assessed upon demonstration by the employer that all job postings for open positions have been updated to include the pay scale as required by this section.

Although there's also the possibility of getting a court order to get them to fix it:

> (2) A person who claims to be aggrieved by a violation of this section may also bring a civil action for injunctive relief and any other relief that the court deems appropriate.

It also allows you to invert the order of the calls so they are written in the order they occur. Instead of paint(sand(cut(measure(wood)))), you can write wood | measure | cut | sand | paint, which is easier to read, especially if it splits over multiple lines or has additional arguments:

paint(sand(cut(measure(wood, 12), 40, :WZ), 220), :red)

wood | measure(12) | cut(40, :WZ) | sand(220) | paint(:red)

IIRC you can do that in Haskell as well, but I forget the name of the feature. Many OOP libraries have started to adopt a chained method call style similar to this, but it is nice to be able to do with any function.

So they'd be more like the "fellow" position at other companies, then, yes? Or the senior staff engineers?

The problem isn't the 900k, the problem is the 90-900k range. You can hide a lot of evil in a range that wide. You can hide gender and ethnic pay biases in that range.

a 500-750k range for Principal engineers or 500k to 2MM range for "Senior Staff Engineers" makes more sense than 90k to 900k.
This is why I like the underscores, it's easier for me to see the typo in:

than it is in:

quota = 1000000000

And also when I'm typing the number, it's easier for me to be sure I got it right when I can count the zeros in groups of three. It's rare that I've needed this, but I've used it in Java a few times in my career.
A lot of people responding on here don’t seem to understand that $900k/yr is a very real salary at Netflix. They pay top of the market and it’s all in cash.

The pressure is very real and lots of people get fired quickly (a PM I worked with said she saw over 20 engineers let go in the 2 years she was there) but I find that the ones that stay at Netflix for a long time love it and are never worried about being fired.
But if judges keept fucking people who enter those pleas to get a lighter sentence, that would defeat the purpose of those plea deals, and people would take their chance at trial, so I'd assume there is an incentive for the court to play ball.
Please use a net or "counter drone" in that case.

Gnome keeps making big changes that hurt users and app developers, at least in the short term. (Presumably in pursuit of the Gnome developers' vision.) If you do that often enough, users and app developers find themselves basically in a continual state of pain, always adapting to the latest change. But the Gnome developers either don't recognize this or don't care (or care more about other things), because they keep doing it. Thus: "My way or the highway".

I got tired of it, and the relentless dumbing-down of everything, and switched to KDE (in the form of Kubuntu). It's nice! And the developers seem to understand that it mostly works OK, and they don't need to force a UI paradigm shift on you (and their third-party app developers) every few years.

That sounds like it might be an audit restriction. Those places have very strict rules separating who they do accounting or consulting for vs who they audit, for obvious reasons. So it might be that they’re saying you can’t do work for them in one capacity and then go work for somebody they audit.
How much more are these high school grads earning than you? Is it not sufficient to incentivize you to do what they do, or do you not possess the “little bit of management skill” it would take? Or is it something else?

I suspect the volatility is much higher for possessing the skill to be able to “cash out” $30M+ regularly, compared to going to a nice undergrad school, getting a job at a prestigious big company, then going to a selective business school, and then landing a gig in private equity.

Maybe, though Netflix just seems to just be blatantly violating the law, and the probably-unreasonable width of the range isn’t the most bright-line way. (Explicitly using total compensation instead of the mandatory salary or hourly wage is.)
Most of what's interesting about avx512 is the new instructions; the wider vectors are just icing on the cake. You would need to rewrite your code regardless.
Why do you think this is not cash comp? Friends at Netflix have told me employees get to choose the balance of cash/equity, and an employee can choose all cash.
> an 800k difference between two different employees with the same title

Nothing wrong with this. I personally find titles annoying, compensation ceilings based on titles moreso, so this would seem a decent culture filter. (I also like working with teams and seeing colleagues as, if not necessarily friends, very close acquaintances, so Netflix wouldn’t be a fit.)
I guess it depends on how well liked you are by your manager.
