I don't see how it couldn't result in lower wages over time, especially for folks who are good at negotiating, have planned their career/company moves out over years or decades to maximize salary, etc. Businesses have a budget for payroll, not every business owner is Scrooge McDuck hoarding their gold coins. You have a distribution in pay for lots of reasons, and if you try to eliminate that you're going to end up with the same amount of money spread across the same amount of people in a slightly different way, but everyone at the upper end loses out.

Does that not count as illegal harassment? If a bunch of teenagers were angry at a restaurateur for some reason and did the same, the police would likely disperse and/or arrest them where I live.

OK, I’ve been cooking this idea for a while, curious to get others thoughts.

What if we applied a nominal real estate tax, but applied a differential rate to real estate that’s used for rent seeking?

i.e. if you rented your property for N/60 of the previous 60 months, you’re taxed progressively and exponentially.

I know this would depress real estate prices and reduce the volume of housing available for rent. This is the goal: I want property to be owned by local residents and affordable to local residents, because I think it makes better communities and citizens.

Can you all help me poke him in this idea?

I know a lot of musicians that use it. I have been making music for over 20 years. What musicians want from sites like this is to be able to offload their marketing so that they can focus on making music, not to have boilerplate functional features (like bulk file uploads) for a fee.

Sites and apps now avoid giving any real promotional value to users because they can later sell it to them incrementally. It's a tactic to keep artists primarily promoting the platform in addition to promoting their work on the platform. Very little value overall, as now there are tons of competing music and social platforms available, but all of them offer the same desperately weak promotional value to musicians.

I can accept a certain amount but then there are series like High School DxD which are nothing but fanservice. The real engine of fan service today are vtubers and mobile games which I think are likely to infect anime because the “minor leagues” of anime and manga art are the fan artists that show up on sites like pixiv and Danbooru and it is pretty rare to see anything people want to draw a lot on Danbooru that is really an anime.
Yep. Just navigating trying to find music you can use for an Instagram reel advertisement (or the like) is incredibly frustrating or expensive.

In the same vein: "Shipping useless code".

I worked at a company who created a product that everyone (except the bosses) knew was useless. A minimum of a million dollars went into it. Yes it shipped, but very few customers used it. That's seriously damaging to morale. The worst part was that we knew we were working on something useless.

You're completely right about everything you wrote. But this is only a problem if the browser is assumed to be malicious. In this case, remote attestation can prove that we are indeed talking with a TPM.

However, if the browser is assumed to be malicious, then authenticating the TPM is pointless. As soon as the user establishes a session via that browser, the user account would be compromised.
I'd be worried about the risk of a misfire. Like if someone had a weird browser plug in or something.
Made-For-Advertising sites (MFAs): "lucrative grift shows no signs of abating"
> Libc is a lot more tricky about signals, since not all libc functions can be safely called from handlers.

And this is a huge thing. People do all kinds of operations in signal handlers completely oblivious to the pitfalls. Pitfalls which often do not manifest, making it a great "it works for me" territory.

I once raised a ticket on fluentbit[1] about it but they have abused signal handlers so thoroughly that I do not think they can mitigate the issue without a major rewriting of the signal and crash handling.

> But then that brings me to the part about “friend who works big tech and he has no chill for Indians”. Like, Indians period?

I very much like a lot about Indian culture and people, and I've met a couple of very sharp Indian programmers who I'd gladly work with again, but I think it's understandable that some tech workers in countries like the US have a reflexively negative impression of working with them even before considering some of the cultural differences in the workplace.

* I feel very bad in these interactions, but it is an immense struggle to understand some very thick accents that some Indians have. To be frank, remote work has made this communication even tougher, as any imperfection in the audio makes already difficult communication very awkward. There's only so many times you can say "I didn't quite catch that" or "Can you please repeat that, the audio glitched out" before it becomes obvious that you just can't have a normal discussion with them.

* Many peoples' experience with Indians is through very low-quality recruitment sweat shops. Traits these recruiters exhibit include being bad communicators, pushy, disrespectful of social norms, have questionable motives, barely understand anything about the tech they're recruiting for to the point of even getting the names of technologies they're looking for wrong, and are rarely worth dealing with.

* I don't blame Indians for doing this out of their own self-interest, but nepotism seems to be rampant. Any company that gets a few Indians in positions to hire eventually seems to focus on hiring their own people first. Not good for your future in a company if you're not in that group.

* I don't blame anybody for trying to seek the best deal they can in life, but the H1B program has shitty properties for both immigrants as well as the existing workers in countries who get displaced. The main beneficiary of the H1B program is companies that use it to drive wages down. Hard to have reflexively pleasant feelings about this circumstance, despite it not being their fault.
Salary is about 90% of the compensation picture for almost everyone in the US. If you add in things like 401(k) matching and employee-paid insurance premiums, you've got about 99% of the picture covered (in addition to having something far too complex to publish on any individual level). The vast majority of companies offer no stock, no or minimal/token bonuses, and no perks with any real financial value.
I work on sales/customer facing side of a non-tech industry, but my experience has been different than root comment. My industry is engineer/finance driven, with sales as more of an afterthought or necessary evil. I try to stay tied in with the development/production side as much as possible for sales, but the mismanagement and culture rot on the development/production side has me looking for a new job as it spreads through the company. It’s tough seeing top performers leave/forced out and petty politics and mismanagement take over. It makes my job much harder. The rot has eventually trickled down to other departments, so I think it’s time to make an exit.

FWIW, I wouldn't recommend Wikipedia as a source: I’m familiar with the actual research into what language the Xiongnu may have spoken, and I have known some of the scholars involved personally. I must say I have never heard any concern whatsoever about the term Xiongnu being offensive. First of all, this niche of linguistics is mercifully free of the outrage culture found on social media or among academics in certain, mainly native-anglophone countries. Secondly, the Xiongnu are all dead by centuries, and people are hardly going to consider possible offense when there are no (agreed) modern representatives of the group. There are quite a few ethnonyms around that were originally pejorative, the Xiongnu are not unusual in this regard.

As soon as agreement is reached on what language the Xiongnu spoke, and it happens to be a language we know enough about, it may well be that Xiongnu will be replaced by a phonetically more precise reading, just like other groups. Meanwhile, who cares.

Saying he did X is not the same as cancelation. Also, if actual art piece is related to the real world acts, it is entirely fair to talk about it. Just like when we talk about political purposes of art.

There is also difference between "not mentioning person existed" and refusal to celebrate that person as hero or moral founder. Or just, putting contemporary complains about historical character into context. The "do not mention this person" is quite rare, actually. What people object about regarding cancelation is adding shade of grade to the person story or refusal to celebrate them.

I'll take your strawman and raise you one. This sort of thing is exactly why I roll my eyes when somebody suggests that it's a lost cause so you need to give your one-year-old a smartphone.

Just don't give your kid a phone. If he views content he's not supposed to at school or a friend's house, that's not the worst thing in the world. I can't possibly control every single thing my daughter does because she is her own person. But I can mostly control what she does in our home, and no smartphone is a simple solution that prevents all of these other content-blocking problems. Even if she figures out a temporary way to get around it, that's not the end of the world to me. The larger issue to me is the constant oppressive force destroying a child's brain by having TikTok in her pocket at all times.
I find the best antidote for this unfortunate way of thinking is imagining the individual passing gas. It's impossible to not see someone as human when they are farting.

> Today we have a low trust, hustle and micromanagement culture. I am shocked every time people with experience simply don't help grow a junior engineer (because fuck em and they're gonna find a better job if they grow, amiright?). I am shocked whenever we throw people at a problem while it was shown over and over again the approach does not work for that problem. Shocked when trivial improvements are hailed as the ultimate engineering feat and impressive engineering feats are met with meh. I am shocked when people do not think (at all, zero, nada) about the performance and maintainability of the code they bang out.

I don't understand what you mean by "bootstrapping" in this context. If you can get your phone or computer randomly inspected and copied on the street, and then thrown in jail or executed for trying to avoid surveillance, there is no need for "backdoors" or "bootstrapping". The government just passes a relevant law and surveils, no need for fancy backdoors when you can do straight interception and bans.

Besides, "you need to protest RIGHT NOW so that you can delay total surveillance regime by a year or two if the government eventually turns North Korean" does not sound like a strong call to action to me.

Well, first off, I never said that I can't make one. I've made a roux several hundred times. It gets old.

What chef Paul is showing is not a recipe, it's just literally how you make roux, and it's a poor demonstration honestly. Most people are afraid of cooking a roux over high heat, and his technique is exactly why. They use a wire whisk instead of a wooden spoon or wooden spatula, and the result is that flour gets caught in the corner of the pan or gets stuck and you end up with burnt bits which ruin the roux. Granted, chef Paul was a pro and knew how to handle his equipment, but... his momma would probably have slapped him had she seen him with that whisk.

Fundraising has a way of escalating until they've given away so much control that they have no choice but to grow. What do you think happens when the $8m runs out and they still haven't found a way to fund it? Twitter took decades to just barely figure it out on the back of a generational crisis that kept a lot of people inside wasting time on social media.

The whole concept of federation is that most of the users are on other people's servers, so an ad-based solution isn't as obvious. They can't count on all those eyeballs being monetizable if they're serious about the AT protocol.

Those are all custom extensions to Qualcomm's design, and suspiciously all how AArch64 gets passable code density.

> This is interesting, and if true I would just add that they would likely sell both cores – one RISC-V and one ARM – at least in the short term. Proof is that they have already taped out and anounced thier NUVIA based Snapdragon X desktop/laptop SoC.

Them announcing that is what made ARM sue them. That core as an AArch64 design is going to be stuck in the courts for longer than it'll be relevant. This work by Qualcomm seems to be a combo of trying to get anything out of the NUVIA acquisition, and maybe having a stick when negotiating a settlement with ARM ("we'll make your existential threat more real").

These don't seem limited to SV and Big Companies™ like Google, all it takes is a cursory scroll either through this website (even this thread!) or a trip to any of the CompSci-focused boards on Reddit. Additionally not limited to women and minorities, but anyone from a non-traditional background as well.

These stories surround virtually all successful straight men. Even Garrison Keillor, as mild mannered as they come, got taken down for it.

We are simultaneously told that women are equal to men, and yet we also are told there are male predators and womanizers who women need special protection against.

This dismisses women's sexual agency. Specifically that women may choose, consciously, to exploit their sexual attractiveness to get something from a man.

If women don't have agency, i.e. men can manipulate them into damaging sexual relationships which they are helpless to avoid, this posits women as less than equals to men, as men are expected to stand up for themselves when someone attempts to manipulate them.
Yup. The article mentions it was an “explicit” decision to use this approach instead. Seems much more effective than CSP headers.

(roughly) where is that at?
Yeah, I provided a side project once during an interview process and the only feedback I got related to my use of the 'static' keyword and how that could introduce an undesirable side effect when deploying into a web server (or something like that.) Not sure where they got the idea that the side project would ever be used in that way, unless they were trying to do that themselves.
Interesting, thanks for posting. So what could also be going on is "synergies" as they call them. It is quite possible that Songtradr has staff/functions that they think they can share across the acquisition. This happens a lot when a portco (what Songtradr is to whoever owns them) buys an adjacent company.

Of course it's also possible that that it's specific places (i.e. the content) that are being gutted as they aren't seen to be worthwhile.

The things is that once a company sells, it keeps the name, but can instantly become a different company as far as culture goes. If we want to complain about bandcamp being crappy to its people, the finger should be pointing at the owners (whatever round it was) who a) made the hires and b) made the decision to sell. You are throwing your employees to the wolves when you do that. Once you've sold, the decisions are now ultimately made by a new entity with new priorities (for better or for worse).

This is one of the reasons I advise any younger devs I talk to to understand their employer's ultimate game plan. If the employer is hoping for an exit in the period during which you plan to work for them, you should be under no illusions that your job is safe or will stay the same, and you should be getting compensated accordingly. This is the cost of working in the gravy train - we get the high salaries, but we also get the uncertainty that comes with working in a business where exits are so frequent. The two are connected. (And I have been on the employee side during an acquisition twice now, so I've been there.)
