My point was that singling out minorities or women is not necessary, it applies to all humans. Although I think what you end up is a mediocre salary for everyone, not just those who negotiate poorly. By setting the salary range tightly it prevents market forces from affecting pay much.
> $700k is clearly a salary someone got during the bubble.

Research a bit about Netflix's comp philosophy and this will make more sense.

It's not bubble compensation. They aim to beat what someone else will pay for your skills, as long as they want you working there.

Until recently, they also only hired at a single IC level so the range was probably narrower.
I think differentiating the pro and max is a big part of it, but it also seems like they're trying to spread out the benefits of the switch to 3nm over time. I would expect performance cores and bandwidth to go back up next year to maintain steady performance increases year over year.
The main thing in mind that it did do is cause massive fees and restrictions for businesses to send text messages. The idea is this is to reduce spam. However it has fees and effectively was like this:

Hey smb, we see you send notifications to your customers . It’s be a real shame if those messages stopped delivering to your customer . Good thing you can pay us a brand registration fee just $50 and oh for each type of message a recurring $10 fee.

It wasn’t a price hike to consumers directly but really was mob style shake down.

>Gave a look into Godot, find out the engine is deeply integrated with some custom scripting language that leads to performance issues

>Godot API is designed around GDScript: This is also not true. In fact, until Godot 4.1, typed GDScript did calls via "ptrcall" syntax, and the argument encoding was a bottleneck. As a result, we created a special path for GDScript to call more efficiently. [0]

Saying nothing of corporate buybacks of company stock
I'm amused at the brash confidence that the laws of the language the word was borrowed from override the laws of the language it was borrowed into.

Seems to me the grammar police are overstepping their jurisdiction and we're going to have to get the interlingual grammar courts involved to sort this out.

Hope they do it soon, because English lets its speakers participate in government and this Latin sounds like a threat to democracy.

Couldn't the same be said for movies of music? I don't think most people set out to make mediocre media. There's nothing special about games in this regard.

I was neither praising nor deriding Canada’s approach, I was providing context for the parent.

The logic of ‘conquest->hegemony’ does not quite work in parts of North America because the ‘conquest’ was not a traditional one, but rather because of duplicity and breaking treaties, which- in a rules based order- typically have methods of restitution.

Parts of the USA, like the Russian conquest of Eurasia, were traditional conquests where the invaders drove out the inhabitants by force, but that is not a universal narrative in the European colonization of North America.
I've done something similar and that's absolutely what it was. I'm no pro, knew I wasn't doing it the right way, but it was for a personal side project and Windows starts to get weird when you have a million files in a single directory.
While the Potsdam Declaration called upon Japan to surrender unconditionally, it did, in fact, lay out the conditions for the surrender, including that the armed forces of Japan would be permitted to disarm and return home, they would retain sovereignty of their four principal islands, and that the Japanese people would not be enslaved or destroyed as a nation.

After the atomic bombings -- and the Soviet advance -- Japan accepted these conditions, unconditionally, instead of holding out for better terms, like retaining conquered territory.

(Edit: Now, if you want unconditional surrender, the German Instrument of Surrender, now there's an unconditional surrender.)
Americans abroad get a very valuable guarantee though. If shit hits the fan the full force of the US Military and Government is around to help out. They also are a last resort for Americans in emergencies abroad. Emergency assistance, flights and travel back home, etc.

Yeah, the racial disparities in police use of force in San Francisco are incredible: https://missionlocal.org/2023/07/sfpd-use-of-force-racial-di...

Black people get force used 12-15x more often. Hispanic, 2-3x.

In historical context, this isn't particularly surprising. What's different about our modern era is the extent to which we're finally talking about it.
Also the Dutch still have a large tulip business. Maybe they were overpriced for a bit but the tulips go on.

You are driving on publicly funded roads in a licensed machine where the police have the legal authority to demand you submit to inspection at any time, and you legally must purchase insurance from a private company to operate it.

I would say local speed governors would be less authoritarian than many interventions that already exist for driving, which is an act that is already a leading cause of death in North America.

Just make it an IR blaster on the street lamps over the road that the municipality can remote command to send out the "low speed limit next N meters" signal. Let it be legal for drivers to override the governor, but doing so is effectively an admission of guilt that you're speeding.
Woman jailed after Rentahitman.com assassin turned out to be – surprise – FBI
As a tech engineer who ended up in marketing, I've spent the last decade building an agency business and working with tech companies.

When ChatGPT/LLMs became accessible, I started playing around with OpenAI's API with the goal of "encoding" some of my expertise into the AI so it does the work for me (specifically how to write founder stories for my customers).

The result is https://storypitch.ai and it's already generating revenue.

But I have to say it's both worrying and fascinating to see AI do my work for me.

I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I own a very high-quality PVS-14. I've mostly solved the depth of field issue for myself with an iris in front of the objective lens.

There is a tradeoff to make between available light and DoF, but outdoors I can turn it to about 1/3 open and see clearly from ~2' to infinity.

I found a well-made iris mechanism on eBay, designed for microscopes. It fits the threads on the objective lens exactly, and has another set of threads on the outside to which a sacrificial lens can be added for protection if desired. I'm really happy with it.
Even experienced writers suck at this. It means they have no actual editors.

But you are not capable of reproducing from your mind something that is in that artists' style, after that viewing. If you show someone a painting and ask them to recreate it, even setting aside the skill gap, you do not get the same painting back. You get a different painting, with some overlap, with the "focus" of it being what the person paid the most attention to during their viewing.

In this way, ML training is just not the same as a person being inspired by or even being asked to recreate another person's creative work. Over the course of making something, an artists' "voice" would be best characterized I feel as the tiny choices they make along the way that all point to and reinforce a larger point or purpose to the piece. This "voice" shows up in all creative output, not just spoken word. That is what I feel people are feeling is lacking in generated art: because a machine-learning model does not have a voice, it does not have intent, it has a mandate from a third party from which it tries to draw from, and instead of making numerous, tiny but contributory choices, it instead decides on a weighted average of all the choices made in the art that the model was trained upon, which is simply not the same thing.

It makes all generated art have this very sterile, soulless feeling to it because these tiny choices that would otherwise be made by a person trying to illicit an effect are instead just the machine sort of shrugging and being like "well in most things I've seen where a woman is sitting this way, her hand is tilted this way" but it doesn't know why the hand is tilted or what that means for the subject, which means the hand-tilt might be applied to subjects for whom it makes absolutely no sense at all to tilt the hand.

So what happened in 2020-2022 where everyone was willing to pay more and more for the same skill sets?

I think we're agreeing on the same thing here, I am saying they will never pay $700k now, but they probably have someone at that comp level, so they have to list that in the range.

Ask HN: How do you stop overemployment at your company?
Background:
-People posting their W's - https://overemployed.com/
-We're on to at least our 3rd investigation into someone blatantly working multiple jobs and falsifying their timekeeping records. It is also against our employee agreement.

Let me start off by saying I am not against overemployment, in fact, I support whatever income streams you can make work. I have my own personal side gig that I keep completely separate, and it is a separate industry, and requires physical presence.

It's ok but...to the people you are working for, the contract needs to be clearly defined. Do they allow it? Do they measure performance based on results or by hours worked? If it's hours worked, I think you can get into hot water very quickly. A text here or an email there is not what I am talking about. I'm referring to people having two laptops open and just keeping plates spinning, or giving off the appearance of being online/available. Other cases the person is physically present, but spends a ton of time on their phone on other meetings and providing support. In some cases, people use the same laptop which may violate employment agreements for the company who owns the laptop.

Another caveat - I am not in search of a solution that will be a silver bullet in identifying overemployment, or even one that will help sniff it out. What I am after is a dashboard that I can pull up when someone is suspected of overemployment because of a performance issue. In other words, a teammate complains they are very slow, or missing meetings; then I pullup my dashboard and see - yes, in fact it looks like they only spend 3-4 hours per day on corp infrastructure, time for a chat. The chat goes a little something like this "Some of your coworkers have raised concerns about your performance... what do you think is going on?".

I would not like to debate the merits of this being moral or not on either side, I want to focus on the tech we can employ to help move poor performers on from our company faster in order to keep the high performers motivated. If you are a high performer and working multiple jobs under our roof, we really have no issue, please just disclose that so we know it's not a competitor.
Every one of these comments so far are from people that have no idea how much Netflix pays. $600k-700k for a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix is about expected. Also keep in mind, they pay all cash, so this isn't a "Total Compensation" number. I have a friend who made over $1 million cash at Netflix per year. Their philosophy is to pay top of market for the best talent.
I worked at a US IBM site for a couple weeks a few years back and they had an engineer assigned to my group who would walk with us to the kitchenette and pay for our coffee from the machine each time. I hope he was reimbursed!

If they aren't doing the same role, then why are salaries for two different roles listed under a single job requisition?
Most people are pleasant most of the time, but all people are corruptible and most people are capable of great evil in the wrong circumstances. The LAPD would help you change a tire, and you might find your local police brutal if you were pulled over with out-of-state plates while black.

They're just people.
The Escapist is an online magazine covering games and the gaming industry. Zero Punctuation was a weekly series by reviewer Yahtzee Croshaw. ZP is a video essay given in the format of no punctuation.

I feel like this section doesn't really _answer_ that. Like, it has the _what_, but not the _why_.

Very odd. I was expecting it to either be some sort of particularly arcane issue with actually printing (maybe characters not representable in Unicode?), or, at an outside chance, obscene material.

Vaguely reminded of Charlie Stross's Laundry Files, where Section 3 of the Official Secrets Act is itself secret, because it self-classifies under Section 2.

>the current high-interest-rate

This current level of interest rates was the norm before the money printing bonanza of 2010-2022. Only that ~decade of ultra low rates was the exception not the norm.

And yet housing was still being built back then. So what gives?

From what I saw from that last decade, ultra cheap rates for too long just leads to a bunch of speculation bubbles as everyone and his dog goes into debt as much as they can and inflating everything.

> Sometimes applications need to store data during the lifetime of a request, so that it can be shared between the before or after request handlers and the route function. The request object provides the g attribute for that purpose.

Eh I dont get it. "g" for globals?
Simple solution. If there is no body cam footage available, a judge or jury is allowed to make the most negative inference as to the officer's actions. If a camera truly malfunctions, well sometimes police think a cell phone is a gun and the victim doesn't get a do-over. Life isn't always fair officer. We still have to assume the worst.
Seriously, it's the second time someone doesn't properly read my comment:

> and until a few years ago, extremely bad integration with tools like Yocto.
Has there been any evidence that the long period of ultra-low interest rates we enjoyed resulted in additional productive capacity? It sounds like a lot of it just went to unprofitable SaaS companies and other virtual endeavors, and not so much to things that exist in the physical world.

Thanks Steve. This strikes me as a reasonable recommendation, though it seems like generally the guiding metric should be whatever leads to fewer bugs and vulnerabilities (incl. tools, processes, etc).
We're long beyond that now, unfortunately. Police can legally kill you on the spot if you have a gun, even if you've done nothing wrong.

Ask for what you want.

If I'm making a salary I'm excited to earn, why do I care if I left money on the table? I'm happy!

If I'm happy, somebody else being a better negotiator than me doesn't make me unhappy.

If something in the future makes me unhappy about the salary I'm earning, then I'll address that in the future.
