And in your imagination of stack ranking, every employee gets a rank number from 1 to 10,000?

That would be neat, but probably bad for a variety of other reasons. Like, why is all of sales getting fired? Well, they unfortunately all ranked poorly...

It's more like, a manager has 7 employees and he has to stack rank them 1 to 7 and manage #7 out and rehire a replacement. Was #7 a bad employee? Why would any system of management assume that they are? Such as system assumes that the sea is full of employees of rank #1 to #6 and that the difference between 6 and 7 was so great as to warrant the costs associated with termination, hiring, training, on-boarding, and ramping up a new #7. Will they be better enough to warrant doing it all again?
Probably just a lack of awareness. If you read the support page closely, Yubikey 5 is given as an example of a supported FIDO2 key, but I’d bet that the Titan works as well.

It’s kind of like how Google clearly states that you need to use Google Authenticator (tm) as 2FA for your Google account, but really any TOTP app will work.
Yes, some of them. Everyone was fed up with the smoky places. Actually some bigger places were both smoking and non smoking before. I had a friend who was a smoker. He always chose the non-smoking part and then he moved to the non smoking part whenever he wanted to smoke. The previous law was useless as only places with over 60 square meters were required to have a non smoking part, so most bars were smaller and exclusively smoking.

In Serbia and North Macedonia, smoking is still allowed in hotel rooms. It's awful. I don't recall smoking in closed public spaces though. Most of them were open tavernas during the summer and smoking was allowed.
As a 3rd party tool, sure, or perhaps just for comments, but in general I don’t think it’s a good idea for the site. I feel like this was one of the first things that really started to kill Digg back in the day. Got to the point where it was easy for some users with huge numbers of followers to get stuff to the front page, but very difficult for everyone else…
Also in the Midwest, I'd say 10% of both my high school and college classes smoked, maybe slightly higher if you count those that smoked while drinking, but about half of my friends in my age group that did not go to college smoked.

I'd honestly guess you either didn't notice them or forgot that they smoked. As a former smoker the bars were filled with people smoking until the indoor bans when you could always find some outside.

Purpose.

I work in R&D in the Medical Devices space.

I fully appreciate I could be making a lot more money in other domains (namely distributed systems) but for me the drive and happiness that comes with creating something that I feel _really_ matters is not easily replaceable.

I am not sticking around that long, this is my way of leaving things slightly better.
> I mean they went to his house, took documents then later came back for the raid. Why didn’t they take all the documents at the beginning?

They didn’t “take” anything before the warrant. Trump hand over documents before the subpoena, he handed over documents in response to the subpoena, he certified that he had handed over all responsive documents after handing over documents in response to the subpoena, and then, when the government found evidence that that declaration was false, they got a search warrant.

> They could have taken them when they took the other documents

No, they couldn’t, because Trump didn’t produce them when he turned over the other documents. They couldn’t search for and seize documents that weren’t being handed over voluntarily without the authority to do so, authority which comes through a search warrant.

> So did Biden

There is a special counsel investigating the Biden case (and one was appointed almost immediately), its far less clear (because these matters don’t tend to leak before resolved or charged, unless the target makes a huge public deal out of them by making extravagant social media claims and filing bizarro lawsuits to attempt to retain custody of the government documents) whether or not there was any either deliberate wrongdoing to knowing misrepresentation after the fact in the Biden case. But the idea that the law is not being enforced is based on, AFAICT, shear fantasy.
I am sure every single person would rather be paid a consistent wage.

isn't the whole problem with tipping is that every role with tipping will lower the base pay in consideration of that? I would find it very hard to believe anyone receiving tips prefering that to just a stable matching income (except for some exceptional cases...)

And yeah, it turns out that people want to be paid more than minimum wage to be on their feet and dealing with customer orders all day long. I don't see why service people shouldn't be paid more than minimum wage!
In EU, 2035.
It feels a little disingenuous to cherry-pick a few CEOs who fit the mold of your argument. Are theses results vs. educational background representative of a wide range of CEOs? Somehow I doubt it. But you haven't presented evidence either way.
I don't have great values for the constants, and it's a bit of a question of who your expected adversary is, but assuming a randomly generated alphanumeric password, the equation should be something like:

Expected time to break = 1/2 * 36^L * iterations / (hashes per second your adversary can do)

So you'd want to pick how long you want this to remain secure (~50 years is probably beyond good enough). For hashes, a _very_ conservative choice might be something like the hashes per second done in all of Bitcoin, worldwide. One arbitrary result in Google suggests that that is 286,767,038,956,306,900,000 H/s.

If I did the math right, that works out to 17-18 characters long for 1000 iterations. The number of hashes per second there is obviously way too big, but I'm uncomfortable picking a lower one without doing more research than I'm interested in doing. There's probably a recommendation from some security experts out there somewhere, but I'd imagine it's going to be a bit of a struggle to get one of them to tell you anything except "use more than 1000 iterations".
I’m sure their are management consultants who watched the first season of Andor and thoughts “Now that’s what I’m talking about”
That's fair. I have had the same thought, but I really don't have the skills to make a gaming startup successful; no network, no experience, etc. The code is do-able. Everything else is hard. Have a good plan (or people that you can trust) for that part.

The one change I'd make to Overwatch is to just balance each rank separately. Let the bronzes run around doing 300 damage railgun shots. Don't let pro play make the game less fun for casual players that just want to meme for a couple hours a week, but do have some progression so people can outgrow that. I've watched a lot of videos of new players trying OW2 for the first time, and the game is just impossible for them. The next FPS/MOBA hybrid should be as approachable as Overwatch was in 2016.
Depends on the person. Caffeine is a mixed bag for people with adhd and related disorders. If wasn't, we'd all just be taking caffeine pills and call it a day, yet we don't. It does work in some cases, specifically if you throttle your intake so you don't build up tolerance and use it intermittently.

And you can learn to focus your adhd traits and exploit them.
Why can't it be done?
What I'm trying to do is to show an incredibly small PoC that we can rewrite as soon as we get ideas and contributions. We want people to actively participate because some of the choices made now have a very long term impact. Things like microblogging vs long posts or certain architecture decisions need to be made as soon as possible.

Starting and getting to an MVP would make the life easier for everyone to contribute, but it would not be a product built by the community since the base was already decided by one person - which IMHO kinda misses the whole point of building it together
GPT type systems are well known for hallucinating reasonable sounding but factually incorrect data.

You need to do your due diligence, for example, the first computer mouse by all rights wasn't invented until the 60s, whereas Vladimir Shukhov died in 1939.
No, I don't. Again, this seems to be a personal design/preference rather than a behavior git is forcing upon you, which is my point (This isn't a git issue, this is a development workflow that seems needlessly over complicated). When I do development locally, I only commit changes I want to keep. If there is something wrong, or code that needs to be modified, I make those changes, and then commit. When the work is done, if pressed upon me by the team, I rebase the local commits to a single commit before submitting a merge request.
It's very easy to see how people might make this logical jump, but honestly if your bosses manage you out for never being a top performer they are doing you a favor: you don't have to work for their dumb asses anymore.

Good managers recognize the value of role players. Not everyone can be a top performer. It's an absurd expectation to have for any organization.
> But an investor might see this and feel people come to Google for money, not passion.

Pretty hypocritical. I doubt the investor has put their money into Google because of "passion". Why should an employee join for passion, then?

> that the headcount and salaries must go down

Maybe upper management should feel those decreases just like the rest of everyone else. But yeah, right, like that'll happen. Whenever anyone advocates lowering salaries, upper management never takes a cut.
>Increased regulation of VC is coming.

By who? I doubt it.
"Before the revolutions some of my ancesteors were literally property. They were serfs, with all the fun bits like regular whippings, and living in a wooden hut. They went to nirmal-ish 2nd world life"

Before the revolution in russia, there were indeed quite some slaves. After the revolution, there were only slaves. Someone who is locked in and cannot leave the country and has otherwise little freedom to move and act, is a slave by my definition, so for me there was no overall improvement, rather the contrary.

"I don't advocate violence, but if you want a social movement to suceed, it has to have some teeth and power, either through court, money or civil disobedience."

I think it mainly needs to have a clear vision of what to achieve, if it wants to achieve that goal and not just blow of steam and create drama.

So, I am not saying, that blocking roads for example, is always bad, if it creates necessary attention to get a important message across. But what exactly is the message of extinction rebellion? We are all doomed, if we don't stop consuming so much? Because this is the message people are getting.

This is not helping the common people, who struggle daily to feed their family - and if those people have to fear of loosing their job, because they missed work because of a road block, then they certainly will not join the movement.

If you want to convince people, you have to provide solutions.

Green tech is a solution, but activism alone can only bring awareness towards it and not solve anything by its own. Otherwise I would join the road blocks.
> isn’t the whole problem with tipping is that every role with tipping will lower the base pay in consideration of that?

That’s a problem.

Another problem is that it is demonstrated to be a loophole through which unequal compensation on bases that would otherwise be unlawful for an employer are achieved.
It's possibly a contributing factor, but Japanese families are quite accustomed to the idea that their kids will grow up in what many of us in less-densely populated Western countries would consider uncomfortably small spaces.
I'm not going to make any predictions about "forever", but unless they start ramping up immigration and allowing in those from cultures where having larger families is more of a priority, I doubt it's going up any time soon.

This. I am a legal immigrant and have the papers and job to open an account. Some of my relatives aren't so fortunate so I have opened accounts in my name which they use as theirs. It get convoluted and I would rather I didn't have to do this but you are right it is a form of gentrification.

Ok, not quite, and the motivation is different, but the days of ICE are numbered.
Unrelated but localho.st is very useful.
Japanese people complain about everything, especially when it's anonymous. Just look at Google maps reviews, or product reviews on amazon.co.jp: you'll see 1-star reviews for stuff just because something wasn't quite perfect. It's probably the same for the politicians; they complain, but the alternatives are worse in their minds.

Plus, much of the population is elderly, and their preferences are quite different than the younger people you hear more from.
Nag-screens are awful but they do also need to explain their tipping because it creates customer confusion. They could simply put up a sign up that says "We pay our employees a living wage. We don't accept tips, but you can donate to our staff's preferred charity XYZ at URL."
What are your expected failure modes? Consider this pretty common scenario: ahe user lost their one and only enrolled device. How can the user reinstate access?

I suppose the user must have printed the real root password / secret key / whatever and put the paper somewhere in a safe. That password should allow to reinstate access when all hardware is lost. But it should not be required daily.
> Then again, the Swiss are also crazy people who say nonante for 90, instead of being French and saying quatre-vingt-dix (4x20+10).

That's not crazy, it's just common sense that for some reason the Académie Française, the authority on the French language, refuses to have.
I mean, unless as a child you had abusive parents who forced you to smoke, it’s absolutely a choice.

There are people who can’t stop doing stupid stuff for attention (like breaking electronics for YouTube views or whatever), and we don’t blame “idiots” commenting online for their habits. There are people who refuse to eat vegetables and only eat junk food and we also don’t blame “idiots.”

Yes. It’s addictive. But personal responsibility is admitting you made bad choices that led to bad habits and only you, through your own effort, can fix it.

Countless people never smoked. Countless people stopped. Some people act like quitting smoking is some insufferable thing that others will never understand. Everyone has bad stuff they do that’s just as hard to quit. There are loads of people who are glued to chairs all day and make bad food and exercise decisions and it becomes a lifelong habit that’s borderline impossible to break (doubly so if you face health consequences before you can change), but they don’t get sympathy. People tell them to simply make an effort to change if they actually want to change.

airbnb seems to find new ways to burn any goodwill they had.

I've heard about more friends getting scammed and having their reviews deleted, and dragged out refunds if they happen at all.

Almost all of them ended up with chargebacks on their credit card, and then airbnb bans them.

I wonder if they're looking for a history of that, and just hoping people don't care about what info they're giving away.
As said elsewhere in the comments, if your card has a Visa / MasterCard logo on it, it should work here. I'm personally sponsoring a bunch of folks using a Visa card connected to my business account on Wise.
Thought experiment: how would you feel about stack ranking all managers but no employees?
Instead, they hired managers and executives that focused on short-term ad revenue. Who needs activism when you can self-sabotage.
>Full waiter experience (seated, handed menu, food brought to table, plate cleared) gets 20%. If the level of service is less than that, the percentage starts to go down proportionally.

I have implemented the same policy of 20% BUT with strict process to make sure it isn't 20% of the full bill:

1) I tip 20% on the Sub-Total amount after subtracting all alcohol (see #2). I am not tipping 20% on the sales tax as well. So don't make a common mistake and tip on the total, go with sub-total.

2) Subtract alcohol from sub-total, calculate 20% on that new sub-total and then I add $1-2 MAX per drink or $5 for a bottle.

With the price gouging on alcohol at restaurants/bars (particularly wine - which they literally charge for a glass what a full bottle costs in the store) I refuse to tip 20% of their inflated prices. Sometimes wife and I can have 3-4 drinks total at a long dinner and can be like $50-100 just on alcohol. No WAY I am over-tipping our waiter $20 to walk the drinks over to our table.

This process drives my wife crazy sometimes and she calls me cheap, but just flat out giving 20% on the full total of the bill is over-tipping. Steakhouses drive me nuts too because they can be very expensive and 20% tip on the full total could be $60! That is just dumb for someone performing the same job at Applebees of taking order and bringing food/drinks to table.
The path to the contrarian is more interesting, who knew

Giving the salary as a median is a good call, that is honestly way too high, or Google/Alphabet is extremely top heavy. Both would be a problem.

My initial reaction was that investors really shouldn't interfere like that, they can sell their shares if they are unhappy with how the company is run, or vote for a different board next time. In this case I think they have a point. 150.000 is a lot to lay off, but it's also a lot of people to hire within a single year.

You could defend the hiring though. Unless I'm completely off, it does seem like profit are still going up. Ideally their profits should be going down, as they onboard large numbers of support staff to increase their customer service, but those aren't $300.000 a year kinda jobs.
> many item take longer than 2 day promise

Maybe my experience is atypical, but I'm still pretty happy with Prime. Nearly everything comes in the expected 2 days, sometimes things come in 1 day. Last time I (barely) remember anything taking more than 2 days was at the height of supply chain and logistics disruptions during the pandemic.

> ok but what aws really even do that big in past 5 year? [...] no significant disruption or amazing feature.

Why does everything need to be "disrupted"? If the business is doing well with what it has, maybe that's fine. Worse is when a company starts spraying new ideas at the wall, hoping to find something that sticks.

> too many scam items, like shopping at some flea market. reviews unreliable.

Absolutely agree with this, unfortunately. But I think this problem has been around quite a bit longer than 5 years. I remember getting a counterfeit item back at the end of 2015, but I'm sure that wasn't the first time.

Stop for a minute and think about the psychology of what you’ve just written.
Instead of getting angry at aviation corporations who save money and maximize profits by degrading the quality of the very air you breath, you direct your anger towards other passengers and their kids. As they would against you.
That said, you shouldn’t be allowed to smoke and masks should be mandatory on planes still in my opinion.
> That is provably false:

You're confusing things. Google's example focused on rewriting specific components with a specific goal in mind: fix/avoid unsafe memory access. The examples in that blog post consist of major rewrites of huge software projects like browsers, whose goal was to be feature complete.

Those are quite different things.
0.5% sounds like a huge chunk of Google to me! Does anyone have anything describing the levels of influence of a large company that come with a % stake? For example, this is what you get with 0.1%, this is what you get with 0.5%, 2%, 10%, and so on?
You should collect feedback to determine when you are understaffed or alert you to uncleanliness, not to reward individual baristas.

Give your employees the same stress free and untransactional experience you are trying to provide to the customers.
I would be concerned about any sort of individual bonus directly linked to the service just rendered. That tends to work against cooperation and creativity and problem solving. Only when you are unencumbered by incentives can you afford to experiment and learn from your mistakes and get better at what you do. (See e.g. Pink's Drive for more details on motivation.)

It's especially bad if it's based on some variant of having scores "above average" or whatever, because that ends up being a lottery. At that point it's better to just establish a lottery among the employees. If you really have to do individual bonuses, I think it's better to take a leaf from Deming and only grant it for truly (statistically verified) outperformance.

Someone else suggested collective bonuses (e.g. profit sharing). That aligns incentives nicely: it is slightly lagged, meaning you can afford to experiment and learn. It's also not individual, so it fosters collaboration. It's still something of a lottery, of course, but one decided by the customers, not by a manager.

I thought it was just "class", as in "CS class of 2023"?

The term I'm looking for, though, is the set of batches abstracted over time. That is, all students who take CS at particular faculty of particular university, regardless of the year they started. A sequence of "batches". Such students will share curriculum and specific teaching staff. This is in contrast to another such group that e.g. does Applied CS at the same faculty, or Theoretical Physics at different faculty.

EDIT: perhaps a picture is in order. Imagine an university tallying up how many students started a given class on a given year, per class, across entire university. They could create a spreadsheet that looks like:

| University of Example |
|----------+---------------+-----------------------+-----------------|
| | Division of | Division of | Division of |
| | Telecoms & EE | Robotics & Bio | Social sciences |
|----------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------|---------|
| Class of | Appld | Tele | Biomd | Appld | Auto | Social| ... |

| 2020 | ### | ### | ### | ### | ### | ### | ... |
| 2019 | ### | ### | ### | ### | ### | ### | ... |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

The term I'm looking for is the one you would use to call a single column of ### here - e.g. "all classes (years) of Applied CS in Division of Robotics and Bioinformatics".
We do. The picture of earth from space shows it's really neat round. Of course, since we live on the surface, we know the surface is not as smooth as Rick can make it.
