My compensation has been the same for the last 3 years... But the stock price and inflation mean that I'm making 25% less in real terms.
Good to meet you. I'm in Palmy, (most average city in NZ).

That is something I need to look into. I'm guessing now is a bad time to be looking for international work. It seems like the job market is not great internationally.

You'll find that all of Russian secret services are extremely sexist. GRU only recruits from commanding officers in active duty, and these are almost 100% male. FSB does use women, mostly for honeypot purposes.

And yes, I agree that Chinese nationals are to be treated with way more suspicion as well. Anyone with relatives in China can be pushed to do whatever CCP needs. Also everyone with official links to the CCP should be under 24/7 monitoring, something something "covert police stations" and Confucius Institute.
I don’t think we’re in an AI bubble. AI has hardly any penetration into society.

If you compare with smartphones then we are pretty much in the late 1980s brick phone era where the technology is just starting to be adopted by society.

The key technology, AGI, has not even been invented yet. It’s possible we may see a mini bubble if AGI takes a while to be developed, but I think it’s more likely that we won’t because even the current generation of AI has a lot further to run.
I think the much worse failure is assuming all immigrants come from "immigrantland". The impact of a Chinese physicist (and his children, and his children's children) will be much different than a Guatemalan farmer. Until those left-of-center can admit this reality of life, they just need to be totally ignored.

I always ask for it directly. I usually get some clues, but nothing deep. I've never been ghosted after an in person interview (except by Tawkify matchmakers, but that's another story lol)
It's true, Australia has famously terrible quality of life with all those NZ immigrants.

(Immigrants increase your wealth because they are people and the economy is made of people. There is no such thing as taking your job. Nothing except falls in demand has ever or will ever take your job.)
Exactly. Look how my comment is getting downvoted. The hypocrisy is palpable. It doesn't matter how repulsive you think this man his, he's being jailed for what he said. How is this any better than Russia?
This has been my experience too. My son is starting college and was planning on studying software development. I’ve started encouraging him to look at other majors or consider the trades instead. It doesn’t feel like tech is going to be a good career path going forward.
So fun!

Seems like it’d be way easier to parse/AST Tokki Pona than many natural languages we have.

Very cool!
IMO with the upscaling it's great for GB/GBA, and even PSP games. Even though the controls aren't "native", the experience overall is better because you avoid a lot of the monetization hell most Android games have become.
One of the big issues imo is that it is often packaged by maintainers who sometimes just choose to deactivate or activate flags or features at will. It doesn't happen very often, but it sure is annoying to debug considering you basically have a "custom" build of the software.

Just go contracting - I charge probably on the low end for my experience but take home almost 2.5x what I used to as a salaried worker for less time on the clock. As long as you keep a decent chunk of cash (which is easier since you're making more) then you can ride out short-term gaps between contracts. That being said, I haven't been without work for the six years I've been contracting so haven't had to dip into it yet.
what if it could on average add $10 to the end price of your listing. you may not care but ebay would because they could multiple it by some % of every listing.
>The reason? Affection for the plot of land, which also shelters endangered tortoises.

Phrasing here is pretty revealing. "ThEy JuSt LiKe ThE lAnD lOl, oh also there's endangered animals there."
> Now, though, the problems facing the environment are wildly different–and require more development not less.

This is an article filled with unhinged scare words. The author even tries, albeit implicitly, to suggest that we should build a 14 square mile solar farm on the same land endangered tortoises live. When you start making these arguments you run into the same exact problem the author speaks of later: people were opposed to expanding urban sprawl because it destroyed the land they use for recreation. No one wants to take a visit to the solar farm and camp out next to the windmills. So, whats the solution?

As one commenter suggested the answer is nuclear power. We are so happy to pollute our land further with eyesores like solar farms and wind farms and not a single person is willing to consider nuclear power. Even ignoring the negative aesthetic of this so-called clean technology there's another aspect that isn't discuss and that's the damage to wildlife. People like the author, who has spent several pages justifying this, seem to be completely content with destroying the local fauna if it saves us from the alleged "climate apocalypse" just around the corner. I've been around long enough to remember several supposed "raptures" that were going to happen. It's getting harder to differentiate the two groups.

The same "uninhabited" land they want to build these on can be use to safely place a nuclear power plant that, should anything go wrong, damage mitigation would be trivial.

I am repeatedly impressed at the mental gymnastics used to avoid discussing nuclear power.
I'm also in NZ and everything you say is true, except wtf $1k in electric and gas?! I'm not a conservative energy user, and I'm paying around $280 (mid winter) for a family of 4. Hard to believe/understand the $1k remark.
You don’t even need to do that. Once you have Residency (distinct from Permanent Residency and Citizenship - the one with the passport) you are allowed to start your own company which you can use to contract yourself out to Australian companies for annual amounts double those of a lot of NZ roles.

(My last role paid 240-250K NZD depending on exchange rate; the local role prior to that: 120K NZD)

I meant what I wrote more in the spirit of "Great Job! Teach me whats been working well ? :) " A curious, open approach that they get to highlight what they're proud of or think is praise worthy.

As opposed to "Great Job, now let's go over the replay reel with a fine tooth comb to analyze it" ... I think I meant it much more casual and friendly than perhaps it read?
Babylon 5 was such an incredibly uneven production. There's award winning makeup production, combined with the worst 90s daytime TV soap level of taste in set design and fashion.

The feeling I get from the show is that it is absolutely earnest. Like a group of a b-tier community theater folks got the biggest budget of their lives to finally tell the story they wanted and they just swung for the fences.

It's a total, glorious, mess of a show that is as entertaining if you take it seriously as if you make fun of it. I love it.
I just add the keyfile to the initramfs. It sits under an encryptionroot and is only readable by the root user, so it's largely as safe as native encryption can be.

Not to make people as miserable as possible, it's to stop people (other than them) from having children, because they read The Population Bomb and Urban Growth Engines in the 70s and believed it.

However that book is also what caused China to adopt its one-child policy, so they ended up much worse off from it than the US did.

Thanos, who thinks the universe is overpopulated and needs to be saved by killing half of it, is a parody of these people's politics.
I suppose the flip side is that we choose not to build solar, wind, or invest in nuclear and all tortoises die.
My favorite is this implementation of the true command:

I wanted to link to a nice web page about the history of the (external) true command but google can't find anything anymore.
documenting a random thought here:

The hummingbirds hippocampus allows for an astonishing memory which will give them a 3d map to all the food-nodes it knows of.

What I wonder is if the flapping of the wings is so unconscious to the fore-front of the birds intentions, such that ALL of its awareness is in its intent to find food - and she looks, and steers her head wherever - but the hippo just complies and manages flying the bird - think of the hippocampus as an in flight navigator that the frontal perception of the bird can dial in and direct.

what would be interesting would be to map out feeding locations, then see if the follow the same route?

(p.s. Ive captured hummingbirds and even taken them in an Uber, had them fly around inside of the car on a freeway... and had one that met me at breaktime daily)... they are my spirit animal...

but I think their hippocampus-brain ratio is the key to memory
The problem with nuclear power in the US is that it's unbelievably expensive to construct and you will not get the NRC to approve it. Renewables are cheap; he has a consistent theme of supporting them because of this.

Also, solar and wind farms don't destroy the environment under them or anything; solar can make land more habitable by adding shade. What it does do is make the land harder to sell, which is a problem if you're a land banker pretending to be a farmer, a common situation in the US.

And the Sierra Club is anti-nuclear; they just got Illinois to block it again: https://twitter.com/SierraClubIL/status/1690054514772975624

After. It's PPP adjusted, as all good economists would do.
I've always thought that reality has made their business model obsolete and untenable, so instead of adapting, they lobby and get laws written to protect it. Essentially "rejecting reality, and substituting their own".

I agree. It is not easy to hear a person whose income is triple his country's national median refer to independent living as untenable. Even if only purely from a perspective of "if even they are struggling, then... how is the average person in that country even still alive??".

And if a country has plenty of land, and food, to go around - then for scarcity to become a norm, something(s) must have their hands pretty deep in the cookie jar.
Bringing up endangered animals that may or may not actually be in danger is 70s NIMBYism; in the Bay Area this is eg why Google has been blocked from building housing in Mountain View since 2010, because there might be burrowing owls there.

$180k? I never worked FAANG, but my understanding is the jobs were in the $250k+ range. I have a sister in law that works for oracle cloud computing and pulls in $350k.
Not too far from me is a US city known for its avocados, Fallbrook, and it wasn't uncommon for farms to get raided at night. Early in the growing season, ripe avocados can fetch maybe $1 each. Some guys and a truck can grab something like $10,000 worth in a night, maybe more. Even a few acres is pretty big, and, unless you patrol it regularly, there is a lot to keep track of.

I didn't live there, but I knew people that lived there, so don't take the numbers too seriously. But I know that it was a problem.
This week, I talked to a friend from MIT’s machine learning grad program who said the job market sucked.

Lol ok, I’ll take your word for it over the WSJ. Also, aren’t you kind of ignoring that GDP greatly increased after Coke reverted back to the original formula (1986 GDP was 4.35B, up over 14% from 85)?

In either case, your original “smell test” comment really glosses over the 3% decline in GDP the year New Coke was introduced followed by a 14% increase the year following old Coke’s reintroduction. I’d say that passes the smell test, but isn’t definitive evidence that there was a noticeable impact from Coke.
Forest for the trees. How many species will be rendered entirely extinct every year until we get a handle on climate change?
The author above, Noahpinion, supports nuclear power. He isn't avoiding discussing nuclear power because he is opposed to it, but rather to highlight the pertinent issue in the article: that these sorts of organizations block all sorts of clean energy, including nuclear.
I love all technology - except printers. Don’t make me have to own a scanner, printer or (god forbid) fax machine. That’s you, governments, accountants, lawyers and insurance companies.
In my experience the engineers get blamed and often fired if they push back. The managers seem to acquire immunity if they can pass the blame and play politics.
my guess is the companies involved likely threatened to sue / wouldn’t give consent unless they (the companies) chose the parameters.

from my perspective it looks like the companies wanted to stress test the areas they were going to market the heaviest. they wanted to use the power of hackers in one place for nothing more than free due diligence for them to shore up their marketing. and it looks like it backfired.

if the people i’ve spoken to are any indication, they didn’t get truly stress tested at all—those most equipped to do actually meaningfully engage thought it was kind of ridiculous.

this deserved a (at least) conlength timeframe with no guardrails. ideally teams could have had months to prep and conlength to activate. again, no guardrails.

I work in solar and support renewables projects, but I found this article really one-sided.

What were the reasons these groups opposed the projects? What did the national groups have to say about their local chapters' priorities? Were any of them aware of the climate impacts, and if so, what was their counterarguments? Surely it's not as simple as "tortoise good, solar bad".

NIMBYism is everywhere, but only rarely does it intersect with protected species habitat. Solar is not particularly land constrained, and much of California etc. already has more than its grid can store. Wind is much more susceptible to land use conflict because it's harder to site, but its bird impacts are minimal and can mitigated. Meanwhile, plain ol "it's ugly and noisy and causes EM pollution and gives me headaches" NIMBYism happens even without endangered animals.

Is it the case that these groups support renewables except in exceptionally sensitive areas? Do they make a case by case judgment call? Do they fight climate policy and renewables development across the board? Did they consider more than just the tree impacts of high density urban development? None of this was really explored or discussed in the blog.

I've been to several public meetings discussing these sorts of land use conflicts, along with chapter meetings of both pro and anti development groups. They usually are complicated and backed by numerous stakeholders of both sides, each with studies presentations and lots and lots of public comments and controversies. They were never as one sided and simple as this article paints them to be. YMMV, but I have a hard time believing that without details...
Be aware that season 5 is disappointing. JMS didn’t know if there would be a season 5, so he crammed a lot of the season 5 story into season 4, and season 5 ended up a bit thin.
People are buying vastly bigger houses than their parents did. Adjusted for inflation, and most importantly, for square footage, median US housing costs are quite flat. Last I ran the numbers, per sq foot, prices are slightly lower than in the past.

Run them yourself, then check back.
I know people in their 20s in Sweden, Italy, Singapore, Greece and they're all struggling and/or living with their parents. The main point though was that developers dont earn loads in those countries.
I think that's probably because "tech" was never a career path. Just think about the word itself, what does it even really mean? I suppose most people would answer with something about making new technology, but then you've really got your work cut out for you, because damn near any company can make that sort of claim.

In my view, tech just means IT but you've got a ping pong table at work and can wear jeans. IT isn't going anywhere and can be a good career path still, but the wild salary increases were clearly driven by speculation, and there was absolutely a lot of hiring of less than qualified people going on, which will probably take another year or two to wash out.

If it were my son, I would tell him to do what he likes, and if that's computer stuff then that is still a better than average career path. That being said, I'd make sure they really understand that what they are really probably getting into is IT, i.e. its highly unlikely he will end up working at a startup that is going to make it big and change the world with some hot new invention. The reality is, you are probably going to be working at a bank or something at some point, and that's okay if you didn't get your expectations way out of wack.
> CBS/Paramount have done nothing but been hostile towards new Trek ideas

Very much not true, much to the consternation of the less flexible wing of the fandom.

> and suing fan-films out of existence.

Despite plenty of legal grounds to shut them down, they were quite tolerant of fan efforts up until Axanar, and even after that the fan guidelines were still generous compared to most media properties.

> They are under the impression that it has to be TNG cast or not-at-all.

What are you talking about? Except for a couple of cross over main cast characters in DS9, and of course Picard, Trek has been basically TNG-cast free but for guest spots through Voyager, Enterprise, three Kelvin-timeline films, Lower Decks, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, and (I think) Prodigy.
Can you hear the ticking now? Is it annoying?
Exactly. Free speech isn't about protecting speech you agree with, it's about protecting speech you don't agree with. I don't care how vile this man's thoughts are, it is not right to jail somebody for that and Ukraine is just as bad as Russia for doing so. It needs to be called out especially since we are sending a huge amount of money supporting them.
Conlangs(Constructed languages) are fascinating! Apart from Toki Pona, I can recommend checking out Esperanto and Solresol, two other attempts at international languages.

I wonder how fast a community could learn Toki Pona if that was the only way of communicating and nothing else was allowed? It'd be interesting to see who has less and more difficulty sectioned by age, culture, education level, etc...

Also worth mentioning that Toki Pona was created by Sonja Lang(a fellow Canadian <3) during a period of depression. Here's her main website where you can see more of her work: https://www.lang.sg/

Not really. It was more a marketing gimmick for the company. The kind of advertising targeting Cambridge did (based on cheap 2010s Era fb personality quiz responders) had absolutely no targeting value. It just sounded like techno magic to journalists.

Like imagine a developer consultancy said they used latex to fizzbuzz people's computers to get them to vote for Trump. If you understand advertising targeting, CA makes just as much sense as that.

I have a 1910 villa and a Vietnamese wife with a new born. She has been here for 14 years but still likes it warm.

I'm working on getting her to understand that we don't need to heat rooms we don't use.

But $280 is cheaper than I pay during summer. I'm averaging about 20KWHs in the summer. At the moment it's closer to 75KWHs per day. Our hot water is all gas. About 1 x $150 bottle per month in the summer. That moves up to 1 per week in the winter.

Double glassing is in the wish list. Then wall insulation. But we have a mortgage and an asbestos roof to deal with first.
Attacking or blaming environmental groups in a time of environmental crisis seems like an absurdly misguided strategy. The author should re-evaluate their priorities.

Oil and gasoline are some of the most subsidized products in history. Too many Americans demand cheap gas, like it's a human right.

If solar had been similarly subsidized over the last 20 years, we'd see solar panels on every other business and house in every state except Alaska.

This is the situation, and environmental groups did not cause it. And they did not pivot towards undermining their own mission at scale, like they're being accused of.

I have worked with well over a dozen organizations with ERP systems from SAP, Oracle and IBM. When organizations are large enough to need such systems, the management has grown to the level of being driven by politics and hubris. Any warnings by technical staff are rejected because they contradict the management's belief that they know better.
> The endangered desert tortoise needs land. Paving it over for solar panels is not the solution.

You don't pave over land to install ground based solar. Not only is that unnecessary, but would also make the solar way more expensive.
Honest question: do you have resources or materials that you could refer me to so that I could learn more about how this part of the pr/publishing industry works?
