Not only is it an example of the idiotic decision making processes that companies use that are not effective in the long run, it demonstrates how they are happy to pit employees against one another.

It is awkward for a person to know that they make substantially more than coworkers. It forms a feeling of guilt and other negative feelings. But what are they supposed to do? Negotiate lower salaries when starting or after working for a while? And it's definitely frustrating knowing other coworkers with the same or less experience and responsibilities as you make a whole lot more. It forms feelings of jealousy, not feeling valued, self worth, and other negative feelings. And all of this is caused by the company simply not caring about actually employing and managing humans.

And it's always been insane to me that companies will let an experienced person leave because they won't raise their salary and then immediately put out a job requisition at a salary that would have kept the experienced person. It makes no sense, and yet, this happens constantly.
Probably not, because the voice actors are a community draw. In fact, one of the top threads in the overwatch subreddit right now is pictures of all the voice actors. They go to cons and interact with fans and they don't cost so much that losing that value to save a few bucks is worth it.
>Interestingly, even employees who aren’t actively looking for a new job may become more aware of shifting market prices when a new hire joins at a higher salary, sparking concerns that they may be being taken advantage of.

Because being paid less to do more means they are being taken advantage of. That's blindingly obvious. It's just that it was thrust in their face by the new hire occurring.

This is a bit like complaining that the Linux kernel has 30 million lines of code, while ignoring that 3/4 of that is in hardware support (drivers) or filesystems that nobody is actually required to use at any given time.

That is indeed terrible, but as another who emigrated west I realized, malpraxis is rampant here as well, it just doesn't make it into the news as much. Incompetent doctors and medical whoopsies can kill me here as well even if the system is overall better.
> This meant that every user could have their own unique Jonathan setup, pulling together various software platforms, storage devices, and hardware capabilities into their own personalized system. Imagining what would have been required for all this to work together gives me a headache.

Whao. On the contrary, I could imagine plenty of ways in which it would _simplify_ stuff. Imagine if, instead of having a single computer juggling between many software process contending for the same resources, each application was its own mini-computer, with physical separation of memory and processing, and a single, hardware defined way of sharing data ?

At this point, our computers are dumb terminals for computation happening on someone else software, so we're forced to develop distributed systems anyway. But having hardware separation forces doing the only sane thing (the old "share memory by communicating values", as opposed to "communicate commands and share memory")

Sort of, OTP/Erlang on multiple chips of the same desktop box ?

Mean cost vs. worst-case cost.

The mean cost of cleaning up nuclear reactors is tiny.

Eyeballing this graph: https://ourworldindata.org/nuclear-energy I think we've had around 100 PWh total generated by nuclear reactors over history?

There was only one Chernobyl ($340 billion inflation-adjusted), only one Three Mile Island ($2 billion adjusted), and only one Fukushima (probably around $200 billion adjusted).

If so, those accidents cost $542bn/100 PWh = 0.5¢/kWh, which is a trivial excess on even cheap (5¢/kWh) electricity: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%24542bn%2F100+PWh+in+u...

Unfortunately, two of those three demonstrate how expensive these can be when they go wrong, and that number is sufficient to just bankrupt quite a lot of countries — for example, Ukraine, which is where the Chernobyl reactor is, has a nominal GDP less than the cost of the Chernobyl cleanup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi...

IIRC, it's entirely possible to build an Apple II on an Apple II card and let it drive a completely passive backplane with slots 0 through 7. I think it'd even be possible to drive the bus from any slot.

The Jonathan bus would probably be a lot more robust, however, as power delivery was an issue on loaded Apple II's (with too much current flowing through too few VCC and GND pins).

That seems to be fine. safe_fprintf() takes care of non-printable characters. It's used for archive_entry_pathname, which can contain them, while "unsafe" fprintf is used to print out archive_error_string, which is a library-provided error string, and strerror(errno) from libc.
What's the salary for a software engineer in urban China? 60-80k/yr USD? Two years of that salary is cheaper than a good single shoulder fired missile. Seems like a pretty cheap attack vector to me. A Javelin is a quarter million per pop and they can only hit one target.
Sometimes I fancy about that but then I realize that I should wake up early because all those jobs go by the sun, work in cold and hot weather, drive around for many kms, etc. They could make more money than I do, it's well deserved and I'm OK with what I'm doing now.
Can hyperswarm be used to set up a generic IP network?
Yeah, and the people in the cars on the blocked highways are also non-consenting whatevers to sitting activists, activisting about whatever it is they feel passionate about. Both suffer some kind of substantive harm right?

I just wonder how you imagine change is achieved. Because you tell me, how is Prop 13 going to get repealed? Are you going to run a ballot initiative? There are lots of popular laws that are bad.

And speaking of, you know, we kill tens of millions of lab mice and rats every year, and rats are quite smart, and the people working with lab mice realize the gravity of the animal suffering they inflict. They are smart people. Every single medicine you use today has animal suffering animal testing on mice related to it.

The nonconsenting media experiment framework people have a much more expansive framework than the one you are invoking, you are invoking a popsci version of it, and your version doesn't accommodate the intractability of everything being consensual. You just don't know enough about this stuff, and you say something kind of reductive that is really about absolving these now-adults of responsibility for their own screwups.

You're getting co-opted by people who only think to the first level of the expanding brain meme. Oh, some people got upset at my innovative form of protest. Boo hoo.

I'm not going to rank one kind of suffering or using or betrayal against another. It doesn't matter. It was definitely in the students' interest to repeal Prop 13. If only they cared!

Pretty sure I've read and heard everywhere that Netflix is a rarity in that the vast majority of your total comp is directly in salary. So it likely resulted in primarily salary increases.
Beer perhaps is a poor analogy because it’s been around forever. A better analogy are drugs. We have approval process for drugs to safeguard against harm and addictions.

I believe that social media could be transformatively positive for society. But companies aren’t pursuing that, they are pursuing engagement in search of profit. We now know that engagement has significant harm in society.

It’s time to do ‘something’ and we need to start having conversations on what that something is, so we don’t just do the obvious and force everyone to submit a government id for access.
I am not embarrassed to say... is there anything in there that someone who runs a server with ssh needs to know?

If I am keeping stuff up to date, is there anything at all to worry about?
This might actually be nice, and its probably not that difficult to set up in PDFs or similar.

Not "many" - "every company". Unless you're an useless cog in the machine, you can always leverage a raise by saying you got a better offer somewhere else.

In very rare cases it pays to take the raise from the old company though, your name is already on a List, so better start looking for other jobs anyway.

While most would agree that fresh food tastes better (unless it's pizza, that jury is out on that one), that doesn't mean we're too posh for the looks of leftovers. A good portion of our food is also quite boring, and the most common takeaway comes pretty crudely presented and packaged. If we only ate food in fancy presentation, we'd all have starved to death by now.

The reason I don't eat half-eaten meals is because I never half-eat meals in the first place. I order the amount of food I want to/can eat, and should that plan fail, I share with my tablemate(s) - although I tend to be the recipient on that one. We don't do it because we fear taking a crime-scene with us home in the form of a haphazardly filled styrofoam box like poor people, but just because it seems polite and proper to both size your mail right and try finish it. That, and that we didn't know that taking it with us home was even an option in the first place.
People are going to be upset with this perspective but I completely agree. The whole autoconf set of tools is a complete disaster.

If you do not have a job and are not actively looking for work, you are not part of the "labor force". The "labor force" is defined as (working + actively looking). Also, the denominator of the unemployment rate is the size of the labor force, not the size of the working-age population.

In particular if someone gives up on looking for a job because they're too discouraged, or if someone decides to become a stay-at-home parent, this causes the size of the labor force to go down by one person.

Search for: "labor force participation rate".

You can capture CO2 while still getting net energy out of the process, as long as you don't turn it back into (the same) hydrocarbons. The tricky part of carbon capture is not the capturing, but storing it in a way that ensures that it won't be released into the atmosphere anytime soon.

Because the inherent value includes things we know about such as the assets the company has, but it also includes the speculative future earnings which we can't be sure about.
Companies should understand when their business hangs on people, you need to keep the people happy.

Hiring people off the street for more money than people with 20+ years of experience isn't a good way to keep experienced workers employed.

It seems like based on the (very well written) analysis that this is a way to bypass ssh auth, not something that phones out which would've been even scarier.

My server runs arch w/ a LTS kernel (which sounds dumb on the surface, but was by far the easiest way to do ZFS on Linux that wasn't Ubuntu) and it seems that since I don't have SSH exposed to the outside internet for good reason, and my understanding is Arch never patched shhd to begin with that I and most people who would be in similar situations to me are unaffected.

Still insane that this happened to begin with, and I feel bad for the Archlinux maintainers who are now going to feel more pressure to try to catch things like this.

It must be assume that before acquiring that privilege, they also contributed code to project. Probably most was to establish respectable record. Still could be malicious code going back someways.
I am certainly not going to defend mongo ever having being a good choice; I was referring to other "NoSQL" databases (namely, the large number of highly scalable key-value stores).

I love persistent homology; it's such a weirdo bit of maths that topologists keep trying to make useful. Similarly its bigger cousin, Topological Data Analysis, which as far as I can tell is used by people who love weirdo maths but also want to be paid.

I don't see how much good the persistent topology adds here, though. Why bother to do the abstract birth-death diagram and measure the variance in lifetime of these simplices, when the variance and median of the areas in the Voronoi diagram will give you a much easier and more interpretable result?
Yup. In the incentives align to motivate you to play the current game of the day. Another example I can think of. Google search has sucked for awhile now. Some people pin it directly on to Google, but I think its much broader than that. There is an entire cottage industry around around gaming whatever Google does to improve search. Its a cat and mouse game. Google tries to implement a new pattern that will punish people gaming SEO, the people gaming SEO learn the new pattern and adjust for it, and we are back where we are.

In both cases of the stock market and a popular search engine, I don't really know if there is a solution that prevents people from trying to game it.

> Umm... why would you not choose a relational engine to start with?

There's typically two answers to this question:

When they first started things were changing so quickly they didn't want to commit to a schema and felt like doing real data modeling would slow their velocity down so they dumped everything into Mongo and called it a day.

Or they had someone on the team who insisted that Nosql was the way to go. They'll say something like, "I worked on xyz team at Amazon and we just used DocumentDB for everything and never had a problem. Those horror stories about Mongo are all from people who didn't use it right."
The social order is fundamentally nepotistic. Family/Tribe/Caste matters more than experience/performance within the managerial bubble. Keeping the actual workers down helps to keep them desperate to put food on the table, but you better perform well enough to float the non-workers. Deloitte/Wipro/Infosys/et.al know how to play this game very well to discourage anyone not in the tribe from advancing.
I understand, I just don't care. It's the economic elites who don't seem to understand that they need a next generation to exploit and that the proletariat cannot be squeezed indefinitely. Eventually we look around and say "fuck this, I'm not wrenching sentience from the void to live in this morass".
> In particular if someone gives up on looking for a job because they're too discouraged,

I've never understood that either; do other people just not have to pay rent or buy groceries? How do you "give up looking for a job"? I understand becoming a stay at home parent, but what else would make it so you "give up" looking for paid work?

This isn't a rhetorical question, I am actually asking because I feel like I'm missing something.
I get why people are focusing on this bad actor. But the question that interests me more: how many other apparent individuals fit the profile that this person presented before caught?

It depends on how those states interact with each other. Lets say you can't know a gloves fingers and a gloves color at the same time, so checking number of fingers resets the color and checking color resets number of fingers.

Then if you check number of fingers many times, you get the same result every time. But if you alternate checking fingers and color, you will get random results every time.

Edit: Not that I'm saying this is what original poster meant, just that this is the main difference between quantum particles and our macroscopic objects like gloves.
> Hahaha, time is a social construct!

Funnily enough, it also exists outside the needs of society. I personally find the 24-hour time system—especially with its half-synchronized, half-solar construction—to be pretty miserable to work with for personal needs. It's also pretty miserable for many professional concerns as a social construct, even if you manage to agree on using UTC. Time zones are an absolute nightmare.
I just had a very valuable teammate quit this week from lack of salary progression. New-ish grads are making more than him for much lesser jobs. The business refused to do even a token salary increase because of the ‘economic climate’
