> ” Now say you end up turning down their offer. They’ve spent over $24,000 just extending this single offer to you (to say nothing of opportunity costs), and now they’ll essentially have to start over from scratch.”

They definitely won’t start over from scratch. Most companies where I worked held on to reject one or two finalists until the selected one accepted the offer. Precisely to be able to go back and offer them the job without any significant cost if the first one in the ranking rejects the offer.

Since this final decisions are for minimal, very subjective reasons, I often saw a manager having second thoughts and kind of hoping the selected person to reject their offer so they can go with the other that, e.g. doesn’t have that experience in a stack, but seems nicer to work with.

In that scenario (not uncommon in my experience), the hiring manager has incentives to not raise the salary a bit.

But… otherwise is a very good, helpful article. Lots of good tips there.
What if no amount of psychologist will make you stop thinking about money?

Just I don't really like this approach of ending with a suggestion to "see a psychologist".

It's like this conversation:

Alice: Alcohol is bad for you!

Bob: But I can't relax and have as great conversations in social settings or connect with people properly.

Alice: That's just an excuse! If you can't enjoy yourself without alcohol there must be something wrong with you!

Bob: Okay, maybe there's something wrong with me. What should I do.

Alice: Go see a therapist.

Bob: Sees therapist

Bob: Still can't enjoy or relax

Bob: How long should I try this and for how long should I skip being able to enjoy social situations or relax?

Alice: Keep trying!

Bob ends up trying, but never gets anywhere, then dies.
Having the same software app running on two devices is still subject to any faults in that software package (or their compilation of their database). I think it’s fair to call that a common point of failure.

You can judge that failure mode to be unlikely, of course, but you’re still making a judgment about an uncertainty.

Too many organizations are making OKRs much more complex than they need to be.

The fundamental idea of OKRs is actually useful: define a few high-level goals the organization wants to achieve, and for each goal define a few key outcomes that will materialize if the goal is achieved.

Good OKRs help with focus and alignement, particularly in large teams.

We can keep our OKRs simple:

- Key Results don’t necessarily have to be measurements, as long as it’s possible to evaluate them in an objective way.

- OKRs don’t have to be cascaded deep down to the individual level.

- No spreadsheet is needed either. You can just have your OKRs in Notion, Confluence, or similar.

- And OKRs don't have to be stretched if it's not part of the company's culture.

No, I'm not. I want the EU to slap the maximum possible fines on the biggest perpetrators, as defined by the law.
I dunno about that.

I'm "getting on a bit" as they say. I was pretty active as a kid and am still a reasonably active 42 yr old now but I've noticed that when I go a few weeks without regular activity and the strengh diminishes, the balance goes with it.

I can totally understand how with ankles or core a bit weaker it would be easy to lose balance. Dunno how regular your hikes are but they are probably keeping you strong where you need to be, especially if there are hills involved.
Users can disable cookies on their browser if they care about limiting tracking and website functionality.

Or if you insist on regulations that burden every website operator, how about the user ticks a box in their browser once e.g. "I do not consent to cookies regulated by EU Cookie Law" and then that choice is sent in the header of every web request, and website operators are mandated to respect it (and NOT show a banner asking for consent every time the user visits!)

What if the operators don't respect the header? Well, what if operators don't respect the user's responses to cookie consent popups? We're relying on operators doing the right thing in both cases, and the EU cannot guarantee either approach will work.
Do they? On my side, when Consent-O-Matic don’t deal with it all automatically, I look for the "deny all" button and just go elsewhere to find the information I need.

It's fine for them to talk to each other.

The distinction is - if there's one person with the authority to say yes to your salary requirements, and three people who only have the authority to say no, does it benefit you to go via those three people?

In some organisations it might benefit you! If your salary needs to be approved by a hierarch of the fourth level but you'll be reporting to a hierarch of the second level who'll be benefiting from your genius, they might be a highly motivated advocate in your favour.

In other organisations though, the more opportunities there are to say no, the higher chance of the answer being no.

Meanwhile nationalism is on the increase everywhere, military spending is breaking records in anticipation. Millions of people relocate because of wars and warming climate. So it's looking to me like this one will get a lot bigger before it dies down. How big before it counts as a World War?
IANAL but my understanding is that if a cookie is strictly necessary for functionality (such as a login token or storing the region the user explicitly selected) then no consent is needed.

"improve performance and UX using simple analytics" I don't see how performance requires persistent analytics. This smells like a flimsy justification or perhaps "we always did it this way" rather than strict technical necessity.
You can send events from a current session without keeping state in the client. And if one truly cared about performance, there's a lot of fat to trim from many commercial webpages that shouldn't require any analytics at all, try opening a profiler first and notice how much time is spent on loading all the analytics stuff.

Bach is exactly on the cusp between linear counterpoint, which didn't use functional harmony, and later classical music, which did.

Bach did not agree with Rameau's take on harmony. You can see this in CPE Bach's Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments, which was written by his son and is a decent distillation of Bach Sr's approach.

There are vertical arrangements that can be recognised as chords and modulations, but there's also a lot of horizontal shaping in the lines between them.

This is how you get fugues, canons, linear inversions, retrogrades, and so on - none of which can be analysed using simple chord theory.

There is far, far more going on than the occasional use of what we'd now call a deceptive cadence.

OKR is another tool for the managers not to feel useless. The problem is when they are also incompetent. OKR is an integral part of company brainwashing of employees.

They could set goals like, one coffee per week, report to the higher ups that coffee consumption is good, and thats it. ;)

Their Figure 1 is why we keep having these discussions in society. It's grossly misleading and not what a scatterplot for a 0.46 correlation looks like. I know what the figure is, it's just done in a way to overstate a case and ignore variability within bin.

If that figure were about anything else, people would be screaming bloody murder about misleading figures and overly generalized interpretation.

I'm in favor of allowing for the use of test scores but they get abused and the language in this report is a good example of how this happens. Scores have these real but modest correlations with real world situations, but then get used as rulers of atomic precision without any context or recognition of their massive limitations.

It makes the authors of this report look either deceiving or ignorant of statistics or both.

It's a fascinating and tragic case. However, I think it's an illustration of the fact that the police's role is to determine if a crime has been committed, not to figure out exactly what happened in the case of any mysterious death. Given that this person definitely jumped off the balcony of their own volition, it would be very hard to prove that they were in such danger at that very moment from the other people in the apartment that those people could be held legally responsible for the death.

Regulation "failures" are mostly about the wording, the how; less about what and why.

If you view SCRUM as a rigid framework, you've already surrendered and completely missed the point of agile in general.

Just because something was formulated once, does not mean it's not evolving and not improving with learning and new findings. It's nearly 30 years old at this point. The SCRUM guide is vague, and only provides basic roles, event, and definitions. The SCRUM alliance explicitly state that SCRUM is a starting point, and following the Shu Ha Ri principle a good team will eventually transcend the starting point. But you need to be disciplined when starting and learn it as it is defined.

In my experience the main issue with SCRUM is actually with the team members. Either they're not dependable or too low performing to be give the freedom and self-management it requires to succeed, and management is not willing to foster the necessary environment and/or get the right people.

> Users can disable cookies on their browser if they care about limiting tracking and website functionality.

You seem to be deliberately ignoring the fact that cookies are necessary for normal website functions like logging in to a user account. And also the fact that those types of cookies do NOT require a consent banner.

> how about the user ticks a box in their browser once e.g. "I do not consent to cookies regulated by EU Cookie Law" and then that choice is sent in the header of every web request, and website operators are mandated to respect it (and NOT show a banner asking for consent every time the user visits!)

I agree, that would be ideal. I hope it comes in the next version of the ePrivacy directive.

> What if the operators don't respect the header? Well, what if operators don't respect the user's responses to cookie consent popups?

That's what law enforcement is for. A common critique of new EU laws is that the enforcement is lax at the beginning. However, it ramps up over time and is a one-way ratchet. The EU is like a massive ship with huge inertia. Changing course takes a long time, but once it gets going, you better not be in the way.

By the way, we saw this with those highly infuriating and illegal cookie banners that hide the option to deny cookies behind many clicks. The regulation clearly says it should be as easy to consent, as to not consent. And most cookie banners I see nowadays have an easy opt out button.
That's the Do Not Track header, and the moment it was implemented in browsers it was used to track and spy on people.

I guess that, too, was the EU's fault (and not the industry's).

When I was a student (around 1998/99) I had to buy a mobile phone, but could not afford a subscription.

Fortunately we only pay for outgoing calls in my country, otherwise it would have been too expensive.

I bought a prepaid sim card, that had an expensive cost per minute (almost $1). I would call my parents landline once, as a signal to call me back.

It's one of the main reasons why SMS was the preferred communication methods between students, because calls were too expensive. This habit continued when we grew up, and now almost nobody calls each other. I guess the phone companies didn't think of that scenario...
