You can check levels.fyi large faang l6 and above get those numbers. I think there is a massive gap between faang and similar and smaller places. When I got the recent crazy offer I interviewed in what I thought were good smaller companies and several offered me below my current salary. And a couple were in 110k range with absolutely no room for negotiation.
What amazes me is that none of the stories I have read address the decrease in health costs these changes will bring. “An EPA analysis showed that the Clean Air Act’s benefits outweigh its costs by a factor of 30.” [0] Nor has any one talked about how this will drive adoptions of other transportation methods including public transportation. If we fully baked in the actual costs, health and environmental, I suspect gasoline would cost much, much more.

OpenID Connect is an extension to OAuth2 (RFC 6749) that adds an authentication layer (to identify a user) on top of the OAuth2 authorization framework (that grants permissions)

Earlier versions of OAuth (1.0 and 1.0a) and OpenID (1 and 2) are unrelated, incompatible protocols that share similar names but are largely irrelevant in 2024.

cosmopolitan libc, by Justine Tunney (jart here on HN.) How have you missed this?
I spent 1-3 hours every other Friday for six months writing a three line monkey patch to fix a (lack of) clipping bug in a drag and drop library that wasn't taking PRs because they were going to rewrite everything (and were 18 months into a 1 year rewrite and only half done).

I'm not going to name names but it rhymes with jQuery UI.

The best I could do was attach a code snipped to a bug report. I've gone back and forth about whether that should count as participation but for that case it's the most calendar time I've ever put into a line of code and you're goddamned right I want to count it.
As an American of South Asian ancestry, I have always been intrigued by other South Asian diaspora communities like the ones in Guyana, Trinidad and South Africa. I wonder if the cultural evolution of those South Asian communities can be used to forecast how Indian American culture will evolve. One key difference of course is that immigration from India to the US is ongoing while it stopped in Guyana for the most part and may have led to more cultural evolution.
What kind of stuff did you automate? I also automate stuff with chrome extensions (chrome extensions makes for easier personal scraping)
It must be. The part about minimizing the stepper motor power consumption is nonsensical. Steppers use the same current whether moving or stationary.
Whatever Microsoft was doing, it's also the case that the social apps pulled back the APIs, as they wanted to own the feed views and push recommendations over chronological view. When Cambridge Analytica hit the news media, that was a nail in the coffin of open social APIs, but they were already dead.
Maybe the "traditional" media learn to go back to the facts, and away from opinions and moralizing. Otherwise, I continue to see no use for it.
I'm pretty sure California is investing heavily in no and low-carbon energy.

https://calmatters.org/environment/climate-change/2024/08/ca...

Almost 25% of vehicles sold in California are electrified in some way, and California offers rebates to low-income drivers:

https://www.energy.ca.gov/news/2024-05/zero-emission-vehicle...

High gas taxes and financial incentives to electrify are exactly how you motivate people to stop using gasoline cars.
tldr: do not use 'if len(list) == 0', use 'if not list' !

You just have to not write any bug in your code. Also, use type checking everywhere. And rewrite your mind, too.

I'm sure as my sense of urgency and my sense of selectivity head in opposite directions I will think back to this comment. So far I've been picky and have seen more like 10% and most of that in the last couple weeks.

It may also depend which job site or application tool you're using.
Despite big promises in the title, the thesis is just

- self-driving cars aren't perfect yet (trots out the usual double-standard headlines which get zero attention when humans do them all the time)

- our cities were already destroyed by poorly-designed infrastructure, and self-driving cars don't suddenly fix that (something which was never promised or expected?)

- whenever you mention reducing millions of human-caused traffic fatalities, use a sarcastic tone of voice

Disappointing. I had much higher hopes going in.

He says it himself: self-driving cars are just cheaper taxis.
I think about this the other way around. The federal government and other states have artificially low gas taxes that are a direct subsidy of gasoline car dependence. A state like California imposing a tax like this makes them one of the few states that's actually aware how much the consumption of a gallon of gas costs society and manages to charge someone for it.

- The federal gas tax has been 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993, and has not increased to account for inflation

- Vehicles are more fuel efficient than in the past, which has reduced the demand for gas by the gallon on an individual basis.

- The cost of infrastructure materials has increased (e.g., building new roads and bridges)

There is a very decent argument to be had that nobody is actually paying the societal cost of driving, that all of society just loses value by driving. In other words, each mile you drive in your car incurs costs on the rest of society that nobody directly pays, and therefore everyone pays.

I've been heavily dealing with the existential questions you are referencing but it only gets worse. What helped you in resolving those issues or come to terms with them?
Starting from an early age
This doesn't sit right with me. If the goal is to reduce gasoline use by 2045, why is California also absolutely gouging people with the highest electricity cost in the country?
Well it's kinda sad she didn't find out the recipe
It’s probably really hard to determine the cost of pollution and other things. I suspect sugar producers and fast food companies would look really bad
When I look at the rhetoric supporting increases to gas prices in California or Washington through creative means like fuel standards or selectively applied carbon taxes, I can’t help but think about how ideologically driven all of it is. The language used by proponents is often so hostile and absolutist, like discussion is possible, like they know better. It reeks of elitism, because spending on gas is not an option for most people. It’s simply how many people get around every single day. Sure if you are a young, single, urban worker you may get by on public transit. But others have different needs that are better served by cars - if you have a family or hobbies that take you away from transit lines or simply short on time, a car is better in most parts of the country. Imposing a tax on how people live is not just a regressive tax but it will also cause those people to despise you.
Beautiful project. Congrats and thanks !
I seem to recall a space elevator's tether is extremely nonuniform. Eg- it might need to be 100meter diameter at ground level and barely more substantial than aether 3/4ths the way up, then expand out more.
You're going to need an actual maintenance infrastructure which is currently lacking. You're also going to need to improve the roads themselves due to the additional weight of the vehicles. You need a massive rollout of charging stations.

If it were only the lack of nuclear plants.

You can't just wave your hands about the climate and then hope to create a new market overnight.
Could you elaborate? I always found the "grading on a curve" a distinctly American approach that leads to grade inflation and an overall lower academic level. Now, granted, the US provides very unique opportunities for students that want to go above and beyond, but that's another story.
> Today. This was different 60 years ago. This is different today in more conservative countries. At least that is the perception of those people.

Critical race theory says that white men are and were always at the top. It appears to be a pillar of modern progressive politics. But when one demographic is the majority, they also tend to be the majority across all income brackets.

> Everyone has those problems, it's not limited to men or white people.

People at the 'peak of society' wouldn't worry about those problems. They would have the power and/or money to not have those problems.

> And here we have the prime example of manipulation. The reason why all those young men fall to this delusion.

I am suffering from this.

Every word you wrote stabbed me in my past, which means dissonance, somewhere.

Subconscious self-sabotage to rip the proverbial band-aid off, induced manic/delirium from a small infection, rumination/paranoia, catatonia.

Took less consciousness away from my delaying of problems. My ego didn't handle it, the manic iD, did.

I had successfully ran away from all my problems, failing upwards just enough to irk out a cowardly existence.

If Moses had an antibiotic, or had flossed more, the 4(0?) days of desert-delirium may not had been so fearlessly familiar.

after day 4-5 of catatonic rumination and paralyzing anxiety: I cried aloud, "just give me an ounce of strength"; that let me ruminate as to why:

I was asking for help: I am not allowed to. why not? skip that token, backprop later.

Why an ounce? and why of strength? and why am I asking aloud? and who am I asking?

...

Why an ounce? Why not a ratio of my body mass? Why not an arbitrary....because I have 0.

Zero what? Strength?

Why am I asking for strength? Because I am a coward.

and Occam's Razor clicked, all my problems stemmed from cowardice.

I awoke to find myself identifying with "depersonalization" for once, which was embarrassing. But embarrassing/cringe is dissonance, so my ego deconstruction began.

Morality is cowardice in disguise. <-- Stuck here, unable to proceed. Too axiomatic.

Or figure out a situation where OP has to ship things no matter what. Which is hard unless you are jobless and can't figure a way out apart from building useful things that people pay for.

Not out of the woods yet, but at least I know I am in a familiar forest.
A sudden $.65/gal increase seems steep. There are, however, a lot of negative externalities—probably much greater than $.65/gal—from gasoline that aren’t baked into current prices. Other posts here reference significant savings from longterm health improvements.

I’m all for public transit and California needs more of it. At the same time, gas is really bad and so perhaps deserves a stick, just like cigarettes?

Every time I see Erdős, I think "Oh great, there's that Hungarian umlaut."

And I pronounce his name [ˈɛrdøːʃ], because I've heard that's how you do it.

But it pains me a little.

It pains me because I like to be correct about spelling and pronunciation; I think it is respectful.

But it is also an effort, people don't hear me right and get self-conscious about their own pronunciation.

And I can't easily type Hungarian accents.

It's the kind of name I'd prefer to copy-paste, if I need to be public, and get wrong if I can get away with it.

I'd let anyone off the hook for not correctly typing or pronouncing Hungarian accents in casual conversation.

Sorry. I can't write it down because I think what I did was reckless and stupid and I don't want to give any ideas in a high visible thread like this.

For a lot of people this is triggered by something unexpected happening in life which breaks the narrative one has been building their entire life.

You can search for Spiritual Awakening and find a lot of examples. Buddha at the Gas Pump is a great podcast to listen to for such experiences.

As I sad it's not all great all the times. There were a lot of times in which I wished I could go back to the old mode. Though I think the overall change was for the better.
One thing that helped me was accepting that it is not that I might fail but that I will fail initially.

I will produce bad articles because to become good you have to start with your current skill level which probably sucks if you are average. To become good you have to write. Nothing beats actually doing it. But knowing that everyone published something stupid at some point helps me accept that I will also go through that process as well. Everyone failed, everyone will fail and it is fine to fail.

And no matter how good you become you will still fail from time to time. You never graduate from it. Look at the famous movie directors, writers and journalists. Are all their works great? Is each of their work always better than the previous ones? Of course not. Some works will be amazing and insightful, some might be mediocre. Even the very best will have their ups and downs, so why not you?

Each time I publish a post I already accept it might be subpar.
My questions and remarks had nothing to do with the way how you allocate memory in programs.
100 years is too long time. Modern science don't know, how to make something, which will exist so long. This is because, even when we could make machine which will work so long, nobody could guarantee existence of jurisdiction where machine will be. And to move machine to other place will need some people, but people active lifetime is much less.

For this problem, even Darpa created special research program and at the moment only exists one serious applicant - https://100yss.org/

You could try to ask some of Japanese oldest organizations to host your page, as they have few entities existing hundreds years. But you should ask not one but few, I think at least 3, because just few years ago bankrupted 700-years old Japanese bank.

Other possible candidates - some churches and property communes in Western countries. But also, each additional host will just make higher probability but will not guarantee anything.

Also possible to ask your family to save your site, but even if your family is reliable enough, who knows, how will look like society in 100 years, and if your book/site will be legal.

I think, if you will place something on Moon, exists high probability nobody will reach it in 100 years (I think, large share territory of Moon will be desert like now), so it will save. And yes, it is possible to make laser communication system, so somebody could buy components for some reasonable cost and make call and receive data from your site there.
> this will hurt most Californians much more than it helps

I think you're vastly underestimating the positive externalities of high gas prices.

It's annoying that this disproportionately hurts poorer residents but so do cars. Cars are just very very bad for society, while I think in an ideal world we would make public transit so good that it wouldn't make sense to own a car, going about it by making car ownership non-viable so that we're forced to invest more in public transit is also workable. At least this hits you a lot harder if you drive an SUV/truck.

We should also do an odometer x weight based tax to adequately punish electric car owners.
Passenger vehicle weight is basically irrelevant. Damage is proportional to the 4th power, so if your road can carry a much heavier vehicle, the passenger vehicle isn't really doing any damage.
It's a very similar story, actually: as China industrialized, it has very similarly realized that curtailing air pollution is an extremely important issue with benefits that outweigh costs.

It has continually tightened standards and its overall air quality is improving (although it still has notable areas where more improvement is needed)

Is there less tracking in new gas cars?

I'm curious to see what the performance impact of using 64bit memory ends up being. WASM runtimes currently use a clever trick on 64bit host platforms where they allocate a solid 4GB block of virtual memory up front, and then rely on the MMU to catch out-of-bounds accesses by faulting on unmapped pages, so bounds checking is effectively free. That won't work with 64bit WASM though so runtimes will have to do old fashioned explicit bounds checking on every single heap access.

> Everyone wants to freeload, no one wants to pay the true cost of burning fossil fuels for transportation (which would be >$10/gallon if you bake CO2 emission and health costs in).

If we want to talk about externalities in a balanced way, we can’t pick and choose. You can’t just recognize CO2 from burning gas or specific health issues, because that is the same as artificially picking what you want to allow and not allow. You have to also price in the externalities and opportunity costs of the alternative. In the case of electric vehicles, it is everything from raw materials (mining), to the reduced quality of life due to limited range of EVs, to child labor in the supply chain, to the geopolitical implications of using certain battery suppliers like CATL, to pollution (not just greenhouse gases from car production or electrical utilities but other environmental pollutants as well), to increased tire wear from heavier vehicles, and more. Maybe no on wants to pay the true cost of fossil fuels but no one wants to even talk about the true cost of EVs let alone pay it. I don’t know which is “better” but I suspect the math will be more complicated and not support heavyweight taxation.

For a real world anecdote:

I was leading enterprise app dev + AWS projects at a small startup making $x. I got a remote job working at AWS (Professional Services) as a mid level (full time direct hire) consultant making $x + 65K working remotely.

I got Amazoned and a year later, now I’m a “staff” consultant (full time) at a smaller consulting company making the same as I made as a mid level consultant at AWS.

If I were to work at GCP as a “senior” (one level down) I would be making $150k - $200K more than I am making now. But even that department has a return to office mandate. Maybe I would try it after getting a few more years under my belt working at this level
> ... will house a mirror the size of four tennis courts...

What's with those "football stadium", "tennis court", etc measurement units?

Is it assumed that everyone knows how much that is? Are they more understandable than giving a number (area) or two (length x width) in SI - or even Imperial - units?

Instead you have to go search for what the size in that particular sport is, so you can get any idea of what they're talking about!
Surprised this didn't already exist. Congrats on the launch!
I doubt Canada has anything to do with it.

The second highest is Hawaii. I think it's interesting that the two highest states are states that are so different from each other.

They are both disconnected from the other 48 states, but so is Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico's TB rate would put it around 45th lowest if it were a state so I don't think being disconnected has anything to do with it.
It really, really struggles to move the pieces. More development is needed.
