You get by on a low salary by living with multiple people in the same apartment. Or you live far away and commute. Or both. Not really a tenable long-term situation for a senior employee with plans to start a family. Family homes of dece

Oh right, well it depends on CoL doesn't it? You can reframe European salaries as 'obscene' by world standards too. Both the US and Europe have totally broken and unaffordable housing markets, for example, but at least the

Well first of all it's a CEO position, not an SWE :) Even if we scope it to SWE, I don't think that's far off the US percentiles. In London I imagine the top 10% SWE is not even 100k GBP. In Germany even worse.

Not sure about that. How would a university test scaling hypotheses in AI, for example? The level of funding required is just not there, as far as I know.

It's a bit more complex than an S3 bucket though because the value comes from the reputation network, which can't really be replicated easily. Though, saying that, I suppose all the reputation data is kind of public. Apart from e

The net salary in France might be low but the overall cost of hiring is quite high. Besides, why go to the middle when you can just find even cheaper places, if that's your prime metric?
367.
by 0x3f 7mo ago
Not everywhere. Switzerland exists. Also cost of living is a thing so if anything US/CH just ramp up to match that. The rest of Europe has high CoL but terrible salaries. Asia has bad salaries but low CoL (on average).

I think we're not interpreting the original comment in the same way. In most places, I think, when driving on the highway, flashing your lights when behind someone means basically 'I would like to overtake you'. Same here in

I mean, I do talk to them and I do have this skill, but it's a skill that I only ever seem to employ in talking to Uber drivers, so I'm not sure it's of any great benefit. If anything the fact that most of them are immigrants

Which of 'second', 'order', and 'effects' is the big word?

Is there some benefit to talking to weird Uber drivers I've yet to discover that's comparable with 'going outside at all'?

I hate the countries that do this because it doesn't even make sense as a signal. We already have a horn. They are wasting a channel!

Blame isn't really zero sum is it. Like you can be criticized for leaving your laptop unatended and your doors unlocked, but it doesn't really reduce blame for the thief.

There are second order effects though. Once Waymo kills the Uber driver/taxi jobs, what are the chances your Waymo is attacked by a roving band of jobless drivers? It's surely nonzero.

I actually find those amusing because they just make me remember the 'web scale' meme.

I feel HN did have a more information-wants-to-be-free-ey, disrupt-the-incumbents-ey era, though. Or was it all a dream?

Depends if it's existential, like I said. If my whole company depends on X and replacing it is intractable, there's not much other choice. Having looked at the landing page though, seems like they can just go with other models a

I haven't used OpenCode but if not using Claude is existential then why back down? Set up limited liability somehow and just let it play out.

They want lock-in for their UI/X, presumably. If Photoshop ran in the cloud, I doubt Adobe would let you make an alternative front-end either. Not that I'm sympathetic to them.

Nothing is provable in a mathematical sense sure, but as evidence goes, anecdotes are a very weak form of it. People sensationalize and make things up all the time. It's not that high of a bar to want better evidence than that.

The only agreed upon basic facts by both sides are that someone has died at the hands of the IDF. The rest (i.e. what makes up most of the claims) is pure anecdote and thus, unverifiable. I'm not sure what the issue is with saying as

I'm not sure the IDF has confirmed who was killed, but even so the article goes much further than that. That it was a bad shoot, that the car was stationary, that no warnings were given, that the family did nothing to prompt it, that

I'm not sure being a pseudointellectual (if that's what he is) would make him evil, would it? I've seen his 'antichrist' talk as part of headlines out of context and to be honest assumed that this is a rhetorical&#x

I haven't sided with the IDF account, I've said you're overstating the number of facts that "both sides agree on" as a proxy for what's verifiable.

Sorry, I just don't buy the coached words of a 12 year old as categorically truthful. If anything, ethnic cleansing would be a more statistical and thus verifiable claim than the literal anecdote of a child.

Verification _of what_ though? The OP article makes a lot of claims. Your own link says the car was a legit target for 'speeding at' troops, which completely opposes much of the BBC article.
