I'd counter that certain things are expensive and as technologies change, it opens up the technology to a broader audience, which poor people can write now due to changing affordability in writing due to technological changes. With paper/printing that drives literacy where the cheaper the technologies available are, the greater the population literacy. It for instance would be difficult to have a widely literate population if such population was stuck with using animal skins for paper with books being manually handwritten by educated and trained craftsmen. Products that require significant manual labor and/or space inherently bear a cost regardless of the type of economy involved, like the pyramids of Egypt (or Stonehenge, etc) are inherently expensive even though their construction pre-dates the use of currency.
Finding good devs is hard on its own, but you have to consider the market you are looking at.

NextJS/React covers a massive talent pool, so you will inevitably get less experienced candidates going through your pipeline until a good one shows up.

You might not spend as much time if you were tapping into the markets of say Clojure or Elixir, maybe even Go. Not telling you to change your stack, just highlighting the differences in talent pool size and quality.

Be transparent with the compensation from the get go. If you are trying to tap LATAM markets, good devs are reaching (close to, but still a bit far) US salaries, so offering 70-80k for a Senior role won’t guarantee a Senior dev.
> Should I ask for a lower salary to avoid tax brackets but more equity in return? There is no vesting schedule, so only realised on sale & if you leave its at the companies discretion about if you keep your share.

If you want equity -- which means that you feel really good about this company's chances -- you want actual non-revocable ownership now. Be entered on the list of shareholders.

"if you leave it's at the company's discretion" means that it doesn't exist unless you are still employed there on the day of a sale. That's not equity, that's not a lottery ticket -- that's the promise that maybe someday there could be lottery tickets. Ask for the actual lottery ticket now, or discount it right down to zero no matter how much they offer you.

Does the walking time count as work time?
Logs can be different but most of the time it is close to analytics than to transaction processing. Also the way to get a fast SELECT in SQLite (and most traditional relational databases) is to use indexes and indexes IMHO don't work well with logs - you may need to use any column in a WHERE condition and having all columns indexed requires a lot of space and reduces write speed. Additionally many columns in logs have low cardinality and an index doesn't significantly reduces query time compare to a full scan. So with logs one often have to use full-scan queries and full-scan is where columnar storage works much better than a row-oriented storage. Additionally with a columnar storage you are getting a better compression ratio which allows to save space (often important for logs) and increase read speed.

> over the £100k mark which here in the UK is a trap which means you pay 62% tax rate on every £ over 100k until £125k where it drops back to 47% for every £ over.

What's the rationale for having the tax rate drop at £125k? (Rather than stay flat or increase.)
Do you mind expanding on your story here? Did the company just falter before you were able to realise your gains or was there something else more convoluted?
> If you are a software company, that $1 million you spent on software devs is your operating expense. Actual profit that year is $0.

No, it’s not. Net income here is $800k (20% amortization). Gross income is $1M. Because accounting recognizes that the value of your investments today are useful next year. If you sold a million dollars of your software this year, it’s extremely likely that you will be able to sell the same software next year. You’re not starting from scratch in 2025.

> On a cash accounting basis it’s actually worse, because that company is seriously in the red after paying taxes with the new rules. Previously it would have netted out at $0.

And that’s an example of why cash based accounting is not they way businesses track their financials. It’s misleading.

Your understanding of finance here is completely backwards. Think about it. Would you rather loan money to a company that paid $1M contractors to do work for $1M in revenue? Or to a company that spent $1M building a product that sold $1M in services that year?

Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, the second one is more enticing. The contractor company is extracting zero profit and is poised to do the same next year. The software company built a product and they can continue selling. Whether the market is really competitive and whether they might need to continue investing in the product to stay competitive is a tangential concern and a secondary consideration about the business environment that does not factor into our basic understanding of assets here.

Whining about funding being hard to get or that business is hard does not define what an asset is. Imagine a factory owner saying “well the Chinese just built an automated factory so I’ll need to double my investment next year to make sure my products can compete in the market, so I’m going to say that my building of factory doesn’t count as an investment because that just works out nicer for me. It’s only fair. The business environment is competitive!”

I didn’t need all the features or complexity of a Mikrotik router so I went simpler. I have a GL.iNet MT-6000.

So far besides enabling sftp so certbot can deploy a ssl cert to replace the default self-signed cert I haven’t needed to.

It also runs AdGuard Home so that is another thing I have been able to remove from my home server.

According to spec, when someone uses oauth to try and log into an existing account for the first time, you must require the user to login through their normal method and then prompt them to link the login account.

Maybe things are different where you live, but it seems like the opposite is happening here (the UK). The State Pension (UBI for old people) is getting further restricted. At least anecdotally, it seems like it's getting harder to claim benefits like Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payments. We introduced additional caps on benefit payments in 2013 and again in 2017. Our new government doesn't show any obvious sign of reversing the trend, and I don't see any popular movement to encourage them to.

Either

1) Those Crowdstrike unit files aren't ebpf probes, so the whole subject of ebpf probes is irrelevant here; or

2) They're obviously able to stop the rest of the kernel from even booting up (as Crowdstrike so convincingly demonstrated millions of times over[1]), so yes, they do indeed have at least as much power as any other bit of the kernel.

Either way, hunting around for nits to pick is a bit pathetic.

On this good point: Wonder what (many, certainly) crafts are involved in the build-up and "appearance" of the printing press? (for example).-

PS. On a tangent: That'd be an interesting "worldview" layer for an AI - a really good sense of how technological progress has come about, in order to produce further innovations - doing multitudes-of-experts research in parallel to get to a desired outcome. That would be grand ...
Not an answer, just wanted to say that regardless of the outcome you are doing well. A few years back I was doing 70k GBP in Cambridge (expensive as fuck) in my mid 30s. I could only imagine pulling +100k in a LCOL in my 20s.

They didn't specify what kind of update, but in this case no, I'm on zfs-2.2.3, which was released in February. I'd have to go check out when it was marked stable by Gentoo and I actually updated. (I do occasionally have to rebuild whatever version I'm on when upgrading kernel versions.)

If you went to school before about 1990 (?) you would get marked down in any writing assignment for using "they" in a singular sense. I did and I still notice it when reading. Sometimes the context allows only a singular interpretation but often it doesn't and it causes a mental stumble trying to figure out what the author means.

We learned that "he" is neutral unless the subject is already known to be male. I agree that using "she" in a neutral sense is somewhat distracting.

> people who hang out on HN is they don't know any sociology

I actually went to university to try and study sociology and lasted about a month. My opinion of it is that it is more a propaganda and indoctrination tool than a science. Sociology school is just a woke factory. When I got into an argument with a professor and was winning with logic and science on my side I got told to be careful what I say because I hold "dangerous beliefs" which might stop me from being someone important one day, so warning me I might get canceled in the future for those "beliefs" which were merely common sense facts. That's when I decided I got better things to do with my time

I think you mean to say "is currently achievable by anyone willing to exploit hard" considering most of these people own far more than just the $128K yacht.

These acts have lasting repercussions on everybody else in the world, and very rarely ever originate from "hard work."
Useful response thank you. Hard to know what a realistic sale price would be. For example if it sold for £100m in 3 years, that would be 200k under current conditions minus capital gains. That’s probably higher than the additional salary would bring under the same timeframe, but is £100m a realistic valuation if the company got to £10m ARR probably not.. so likely lower.
Literally not software dev costs. It’s in the prompt. You literally cannot simultaneously describe software dev as opex and still talk about the 800k. Those are mutually exclusive framings of the context.
This is excellent advice. I started off with Trout Mask Replica and thought "hm, maybe this isn't for me", but then I listened to the song "Love Lies" on a whim, then the rest of the album, and was hooked.

> We’re lucky we got where we are now with a 5 day work week brought about by union pressure.

This is not backed up by any source I can find. Nearly every source says that the 5 day week was invented by unions in the 1800s, popularized by Henry Ford at the Ford motor company due to measurable improvements to productivity, and made law in the 1930s (in the US) to attempt to counter wide-spread unemployment during the Great Depression. Union pressure is not mentioned anywhere, and honestly doesn't make any sense given that unions were not particularly powerful in those time periods.
This is a beta release.

The classification of "beta", in many release cycles, indicates pre-release software or software that should not be considered a finished product.

Often, this is used to gauge interest, determine usability issues, and plan a methodology for scaling a product.

Denigrating a userbase across your multiple comments in this thread does not help the point you are wishing to make.

> But since “don’t count them” is a tad to vague for many people

I don't know about how it works in the UK, but in many parts of the US, certainly California, it's also an objectively bad deal.

If there is a stated amount of vacation time in your contract, the company has to pay out full salary for any vacation time you don't take, at the time of departure. Vacation is good, people should take it, but the incentive structure of "unlimited vacation" is skewed towards less actual vacation, and no compensation for that choice in the event.

If someone offers unlimited vacation, take them up on it! But make sure that the contract says "four weeks guaranteed, plus whatever other time you want". If it's unlimited, then it should be the same deal, right? This is also a good way to gauge if the unlimited vacation comp is going to be undermined by pressuring workers to stay on the job.
I think you're the one who needs to get a grip on reality. There's no cabal of businessmen playing the world like a puppet. They don't have some secret knowledge of the future. They're often just as stupid as the rest of us, and prone to the same biases. If they were as prescient as you think, I assume companies would simply never fail - as others point out, they often miss things or make mistakes.

The original Monkey Island was a smash hit for its time and sold significantly less than 1 million copies.

So, while adventure games didn’t take off like 3D shoot-em-ups that doesn’t mean they actually declined even if they aren’t posting 200+ million GTA 5 numbers. Monkey Island 2 special edition sold 459k units on steam that’s far better than the original Money Island 2’s 25k on launch.

“You may have been thinking that the highest rate of income tax payable was 45%, at which point the rate of National Insurance is 2%, giving an effective tax rate of 47%.

But did you know you could be subject to an effective combined rate of income tax and national insurance of 62% if you earn over £100,000?

The 62% tax trap refers to the income band falling between £100,000 and £125,140 on which the employed or self-employed will effectively experience an income tax rate of 60% alongside national insurance contributions of 2%.

This is because for every £2 you earn over £100,000 per annum, you lose £1 worth of your £12,570 tax-free personal allowance.
Your tax rate only reduces to the additional rate of 45% after the entirety of your personal allowance for that year has been eroded, i.e. on income above £125,140.”

Infocom made (almost) nothing but adventure games. From 1980-1989 they made no less than thirty-nine text adventures. And a database. Which lead directly to their downfall.

They never made a point-and-click adventure game, but they were the kings of the adventure game when you could make a pretty compelling argument that the images the home computers of the time could produce were much cruder than what words could evoke in the mind of the player.

It's about time the FTC took a closer look at surveillance pricing. The idea that companies could tailor prices based on personal data feels like something out of a dystopian novel. Does anyone else think this could lead to even more distrust in tech companies? Or is this a necessary step to keep up with the times? Either way, I'm curious to see how this plays out and what kind of regulations might come from it.
It is a stupid hidden tax thing. They don't tax the first 12.5K of income, if it is below 100K. They start reducing that 12.5K limit as your income goes up, for every £2, it reduces by £1.

So, if you earn 100K, the first 12.5K of your income is not taxable

If you earn 105K, the first 10K is not taxable

If you earn 125K, there is no non taxable amount.

So the tax rate gets applied two times, that's why the strange thing between 100K and 125K happens
