Change location based pay to gender/race/religion/veteran/disability/etc* and half of the comments talking about market dynamics will have a very different ring to it. The change will be slow if it happens at all, a

I witnessed someone setting up such a business as a side gig. It was pretty straightforward, but they had a background in printing and already had access to printing and cutting machinery. They shut it down in a couple of months. Their take

I have to admit I'm guilty of this, so much so that I'm tending towards discussing programming language features is moot without discussing the available tooling. In fact, I'm starting to think tooling is (slightly) more impo

What kind of books are we talking here? Could be survivorship bias, but my experience (in Europe) is nothing like this, plenty of old books in every household and second hand shops are buying them en masse as well.

The plane refers to the plane of complex numbers (a+b*i), the right half is where the real part (a) is positive. If the zeros of your feedback loop are on the right hand side that means it is a unstable feedback loop, if they are on the lef

Absolutely. Some people (especially the ones profiting from the current system) do not want to change the fundamentals though. In those cases shortening the feedback loop by cutting the cycles could also mitigate the problem. Also reducin

Do you think pay gaps exist in general or all compensation is fair and square because of supply and demand fixes everything?

Discrimination is not a function of supply and demand, it is a function of lack of legal protection. One can argue underleveraged groups does not deserve equal treatment unless they can overpower their situation, but personally I disagree w

You are assuming remote people are OK with being second or third class employees. I'm not sure how long this is going to be true in the post covid world. https://elsajohansson.wordpress.com/2017/09/13/wha

Hard disagree. If we increase the delay in a control loop it will affect its stability. In fact, it is very hard to argue against the opposite , namely (arbitrarily) short terms from a theoretical pov. How legit is a government which does

Well, the first point of Agile Manifesto says >Individuals and interactions over processes and tools and I would argue Scrum is a process and a rather heavyweight one. Thinking in terms of Scrum instead of your team/members and thei

I'm not even convinced deleting (and especially deactivating) your account does anything besides handing over control to Facebook and others. Perhaps it is better to obfuscate the data in your account and just not log in, even if emoti

not agreeing with the parent, but if that is not the main use case of free speech then what is? Stating things others might consider inconvenient, disrespectful or outright unacceptable. Indeed, if one is serious about freedom of speech the

I have to admit I subscribe to this line of thinking, but I also have to admit it is just conspiracy theory advanced classes. However I do believe it is useful to talk about conspiracy theories in a more fine grained way, after all even the

Wishful thinking at best, anchoring the narrative at worst. It is always about compensation (which money is one big part of). Sure, there is some overhead to changing jobs, but if it is all covered people will switch. It is pretty easy to s

Google does the same with phone numbers. They ask for a number as a way of verification you never gave them in the first place. It does not make any sense. Imo if one can log into an account they should have the right to request a delete&#x

This frequently happens with GDPR data/delete requests. They will ask you to verify all the shadow data they collected about you is indeed correct before giving you a summary or promise to delete it.

In Hungary we have this table top game, iiuc this has the same mechanics just with colors. It was (maybe still is) popular in primary school aged 8-12. https://okosjatek.cdn.shoprenter.hu/custom/okosjatek/image&#x2

How is 1:25000 4x higher than 1:10000? Isn't it 2.5x less likely? I guess the parent is referring to this piece of data: 8-12 cases per 100,000 doses.
