The most transparently-advertised salaries are minimum wage and other low-income commodity jobs, precisely because there's no bargaining power. The least transparently advertised salaries are senior management.

That's because salary opacity works in favour of those who do have market power and bargaining skills, and can negotiate high percentage wage increases each time because the cost of hiring somebody else is much higher to the firm, and their prospects of finding alternative employment are good. But not everybody in the company can be the highest paid member of the firm, and not everybody can have a 25% pay rise.

Firms don't give vague indications of salary because they have strong bargaining power, they give vague indications because the ideal candidate has strong bargaining power, and they don't want that to influence people's perceptions of their own market rate.

Agreed. I kept holding out hope that there was some clever solution I just couldn't see, but no, the only sane solution is to do exactly what you did and write a script. What's the point in making students slog through endlessly plugging numbers into a weirdly formatted equation?
Probably my favorite tool on the internet. One thing I wish it had was an implicit select option like grep -o since I frequently find myself using it to do interactive text manipulations for one offs.
This is my sentiment exactly, and why I posted the original article and read the refuting paper [0]. There's been a flurry of posts on HN recently about hypothesis testing and people not understanding what p-values are and what these statistics really mean, and I feel like that sits within the same critique about this paper. People who manipulate their model spec to get a convenient p-value are just as guilty as those who completely fabricate data.

As with current insurance, if you mod your car without telling them they will invalidate your insurance.

Once you do tell them you've altered the programming on the cars computer they are more than likely to tell you to find someone else crazy enough to insure you.

The self drive feature of a car is about to get very proprietary, like a flight system there is going to be assurances that the software the manufacturer installed is the same one that's running. Crash investigators are going to have a tonne of information from these cars (Assuming they don't blow up in a Michael Bay style crash).

I'm not sure I like the idea of calling the use of open source tools "slow computing", and connecting it up in people's minds the way we think about a middle-class fashion.

Or maybe I'm just concerned about the middle class hipsters choosing open source tools ironically or without thought. It might give it an air of exclusion it does not - can not - deserve. I don't want open source tools to become equivalent to a mini penny farthing.

But if it makes people sit up and think the way Whole Foods and the organic food movement has, well, maybe it could work.

No. Tax information is public in anonymized form. That is different from wages, and the effect is absolutely not the same as if you knew exactly what your peers are making.

I'm trying to encourage talking wages at work, and have gotten my division to disclose theirs, but there's a lot of "oh, but it could lead to discontentment" in the rest of the company. And if you know Norwegians, being mildly at unease is the worst thing that can happen.

Vacation, as best I can tell (IANAL) doesn't really effect the rate if you are on a salary.

from http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_overtime.htm

If you are paid a salary, the regular rate is determined as follows:

Multiply the monthly remuneration by 12 (months) to get the annual salary.
Divide the annual salary by 52 (weeks) to get the weekly salary.
Divide the weekly salary by the number of legal maximum regular hours (40) to get the regular hourly rate.

I'm not sure what either you or the person above you adds to the topic of traffic congestion.

You certainly wouldn't depend on communication for collision avoidance, but it's still likely that cars will have beacons which alert other cars to their existence, and it has nothing to do with -- at the range of kilometers -- taking turns broadcasting how many cars you see around you (immediately, ie, traffic packing), your velocity, and your location.

The other self-driving cars can listen for beacons about congestion, and adjust strategic parameters (such as speed) in a safe manner. While I wouldn't trust a random driver telling me to break suddenly, why not take a random tip that there's a slowdown and adjust my driving to help mitigate the jam, especially if 50 other people agree that there's a jam there?
The point being that humans are generalists: diet, activity, everything. There is no one perfect diet that works for everyone. The mess of evolution has left us with intestines and behaviours that will generally keep us alive for as long as possible under most circumstances.

"Eat food. Mainly plants. Not too much."

"Specialisation is for insects."

Both those quotes are trite and not without problems, but these are the Occam's razors I'd take to most discussions of diet and lifestyle choices.

No, that is part of the joke I was (apparently) failing at making.
While I largely agree, I think that some layer of _untrusted_ communication could be beneficial. Think along the lines of how turn signals & honking can benefit humans. Similar types of information could be conveyed more precisely "over the air", even if it was not presumed to be perfect (i.e. just likes human's signals aren't and a smart car isn't going to trust someone's turn signal, but it might react to it). Examples of this could be 1) relayed traffic ahead (more time to break smoothly) 2) lane switching plans (cars can coordinate such that it reduces slow downs & conflicts) etc. This is very similar to how network layer algorithms behave (i.e. TCP can hint to slow down, but you don't have to listen).
Exceptions are just a way for a piece of code to say to its callers: "Sorry guys, this is over my head, I give up, sort this one yourselves." And since most pieces are pretty simple, they encounter these situations routinely. Now, if you want things like nice syntax you positively need exceptions at least as a concept. Otherwise you cannot even add two numbers: take `a + b`, what if the result overflows? What if you write `x = foo(y, bar(z))` and `bar()` fails to deliver? Maybe the try/throw/catch syntax is not that convenient, or maybe the documentation doesn't list all the exceptions that may arise and you feel out of control, or maybe a particular implementation is slow; these are all valid reasons. But I don't see how you can get rid of the idea of exceptions. Well, maybe functional languages have something here, but I'm not an expert in this area; my understanding is that you may define a function as returning either `Error` or `UsefulResult` so you can branch accordingly.

I have to nitpick because that's a very frequent misconception as well: electrons, in fact, move very slowly in metals and semiconductors (a few cm/s at best). It's the electromagnetic waves that move so fast (depending on the material, it's going to be anywhere between 0.5c and 0.9c in most everyday appliances), but the electrons themselves are really slow.
I think governments (and humanity in general) are MUCH better at physical security that digital.

The idea that government regulations could cover digital security is something that I do not believe possible. The whole history of SCADA is a pretty good example.
How to Unlock LG G4c Using Unlock Codes
One point that seems often forgotten (or undervalued) is the great different in deceleration vs acceleration. Cars (especially driven by humans) decelerate much more quickly than they accelerate. I didn't get the impression from the simulation that this difference was realistically represented. I think reality is even worse than this simulation illustrates.
Several solutions.

First I can think of: don't create situations where error can happen. Compile with exceptions turned off. Out of memory? Terminate the process/thread.

Another: create your objects using some factory, make constructor empty and initialize class by said factory once instance is already created (perhaps recursively instantiating its members). This way all error generating code will be moved outside of constructor.

> You said you grew up in the bay area...what part?

Sunnyvale. I went to Homestead High School. It was 3 blocks away from Apple HQ. Steve Wozniac went to one of our football games after Steve Jobs died... presumably to reminisce about his high school days.

> What do you mean by "toxic culture".

I'd say that 1/20 people I've ran into fit into this personality type of "I'm better/smarter than you" in a passive aggressive sort of way. Their opinion is an objective truth, and anyone who disagrees with them is stupid. They tend to look down on everyone who isn't as smart or successful as them. And when you talk to them, all they give a shit about is how successful you are and what your accomplishments are, and if you aren't as successful as they hoped you to be then they give you the cold shoulder and think of you as a plebeian or something similar.

It's kind of like what you'd imagine an asshole New Yorker to be, but they don't say anything to your face.

I was definitely guilty of this while growing up there... I'm trying to unlearn all of that shit.

And again this is about 1/20 people. You might not end up running into these people but my high school and my first internship had quite a few of these characters. It left a sour taste in my mouth.

> WHICH CITIES ARE YOU THINKING OF

Dunno. Depends on the technology. I was mostly just disagreeing. To say that SV is best for exposure to new technology would have made sense back in the 80's with all that hardware, but 99% of the shit there now is just web and mobile, which can be found anywhere as long as you have an internet connection (and programmer friends to suggest you new stuff).

Like, if you want to build your career, all you really need to do is move to where there's a lot of people. There will be tech people there if the city is big enough, and you'll probably make more meaningful and substantial connections if you actually like and connect with the city you move to, instead of just blindly moving to SV because that's what everyone else is doing.

> WHERE DO YOU SUGGEST?

It literally depends on who you are. What might be the best place to build your career for one person might not be for another.

For example, on paper, SV would be the the best place to go because I have shittons of connections there.

But I know I would get depressed. I'd long for a better life if I lived there. And I'd hate myself if I got exposed to that 1/20, and felt myself becoming like that again.

I'm going to try my luck in NYC, and possibly abroad in Germany if that doesn't work out (unlikely).

The reason funding goes to those that find 'good' results is the same reason why funding goes to those that start successful start-ups. Even though both parties probably have less control over the outcome than they think the perception is that they do and that betting on them again is a better bet than betting on someone that did not succeed to score.

That's how we're wired, we simply like success stories much more than that we like stories of failure.

>Given the pay that coders typically make I don't think it's unreasonable that we are exempt from overtime pay

This is a very dangerous argument to make. It's the same sort of argument that makes people turn a blind eye to the wage-collusion class action. Just because we're slightly better paid than average doesn't mean labor protections don't apply to us.

"with Ubuntu, a free-and-open operating system managed by a U.K.-based company and a large network of volunteers. It’s one of the more user-friendly variants of Linux, which first appeared in 1991 when a student at the University of Helsinki wrote his own version of a then-popular operating system invented at AT&T in the 1970s."

what appeared first? Linux or Ubuntu? Linus "wrote" Ubuntu? Can't really tell from this mess. And it's GNU/Linux or Linux distribution not version btw.

Yes, you can even order complete records over your region where you see everyone's income tax as well as their capital gains tax in Sweden.

As far as I know, there's no completely open lookup service on the Internet - all of them are pay-walled. None the less, they're public.

I'm fairly confident that this is common amongst the Nordic countries - albeit not looking exactly the same, they share the same spirit of openness.

That said, in Sweden (Which is the only one I have anecdata from) - it's still frowned upon to ask someone what they earn. Talking about what you earn or how much of a raise you got is also socially awkward.

I don't feel talking about what kind of benefits/subsidy is as socially awkward. I'd say it's more accepted.

Something that is completely socially accepted and frequent each year is talking about how large of a tax return you got.

> is there some clear step that (for example) shows a proposition, which might be laborious and hence omitted normally, and is not amenable to being automatically filled in?

Automation works well for first-order logics, whilst proof assistants work with higher-order logics. One consequence is that inductive proofs are very difficult to automate; we can say "XYZ follows by induction", but the computer's often unable to construct such a proof.

There are various approaches to converting back-and-forth between different logics, eg. Isabelle's "Sledgehammer" tool, but

- Some structure can be lost or obscured in the initial translation, which makes finding a proof harder

- Using proofs converted from another logic can cause proofs to be overly-complicated and "unnatural". If they have any computational content (eg. where the proof is a datastructure or function), this can make working with such values more difficult (eg. if we want to prove a property holds in every branch of a function, having an overly-complicated function which branches based on not-completely-relevant conditions makes our life harder).

I just wanted to say that I've never had this problem before, but the problems I do have with chrome are what people such as sophos has such as: the flash player crashing, certain webpages "memory hogging".

And that point can come very early. We are handling a lot of data/user. We are hosting our ES for ~$80/mo which would cost $650/mo at Algolia for the same volume. Same for logging data. We are hosting our own EHK (Heka instead of Logstash) stack for ~$50/mo (few hours of setup and ~10mins/month of maintenance) which would cost us about $500/mo if we would have stayed with Loggly (and ours will stay at about the same price well into the volume of Loggly's $1k/mo plan).
