https://www.levels.fyi/ takes a good stab at matching up bands across companies. Seemed accurate to me last time I checked.

I always thought total comp and base salary would be the compensating signals for title inflation and lateral moves and all those transitions that aren't 1:1. Money is money after all.

that's a brilliant phrase, a reflexive contrarian. They just go the opposite of, I've been thinking about this behavior of late, great way to characterize it.

that's interesting, so different locales around the world would operate on different editions. So in the locale you picked up where the old editions were useless they found a home elsewhere in the world. Cool stuff.

I was curious if they'd expand their services to have digital memorials for people uploading all their junk for public review for those interested in leaving behind such a monument. Maybe we can pay in advance for digital cemeteries th

lots of threads here about passwords and credentials and all that. How do people feel about exhaustively adding all such credentials to the iOS Passwords list under Settings? Is that smart or dangerous? I'd like to hear people's t

it's an interesting strategy to monitize digital products in a different way. I wonder if the royalties work the same way under this scheme, they must right?

I wonder how these things even appear on the receipt; come to think of it I've never given to charity using these mechanisms I always give direct so I've never witnessed how such a transaction gets rendered on the receipt.

That’s an interesting angle, how ones B2B dedication and competencies align with business customers who have a lot on the line vs flippant and irritated end consumers playing with free products. The stakes are definitely not equal there.

I’d rather see maximally extensible products where users can customize extensions around existing products. If certain features are not wished maybe some mechanism to prune them as if they were an extension themselves that could be uninstal

There’s some truth to that sentiment about a bleak and grayer horizon. Now I shop in tech while looking over my shoulder waiting to get mugged by some shady dark patterns and outright user hostility. It’s not friendly solve my problems terr

You’re right there’s sort of less freedom of escape in this environment. It’s like captive prey pretty much. Good insight.

me and a friend were just talking yesterday about the insane trash day behaviors in NYC. How is it that piles of bagged garbage on the sidewalk has been accepted as normal as if a plastic bag is any barrier to a rodent or any other determin

why is that exactly, there is some weird purification/concentration of social things that only happen at school. Is it the spike of age cohorts (+/-6mo) all thrown together without any regulating factors that would occur with olde

yah, there's no instance called Mastodon, Mastodon we can consider at the meta transcendent level of the universe of instances. The union of each essentially.

I realized in the recent past that another part of the picture that may be missing for the HOLDers is that the losses can be initiated by other parties. That is to say if someone liquidates a company and it gets bought for $X which is some

true, I think there's a basis for that. When you jump stores like enter a Sprouts freezer aisle you can get disarrayed from the unfamiliar brands and logos and all that and have to orient yourself first in those scenarios too at times.

It's sort of an irritation finding it lumped in the meat freezer section at Costco, it's like noise in my search space looking for the real stuff. It doesn't help that they try to simulate the visuals to appear the same as we

yah, I always had the impression that Brazil was predominantly rain forest. I'm curious what percentage of the country's land mass is deep/tall Amazon rain forest. If we came up with some cheap threshold like at least 10 tree

I may have missed it, but where's the statement about what those black spots are in the micrographs and how that was determined. It seems like they're just declared as atmospheric particulates but where's that determined exac

it's interesting, when I open http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt directly in Chrome it triggers a Translate this Page url bar icon and it prompts to translate between Hungarian and English. All that's in the content

I've been passively looking for a means to get my Notes in some offline format. So far I've just been exporting them to PDF which isn't ideal for me, but at least captures the note more or less.

I’m viewing this on a mobile device so I can’t zoom in too efficiently to do all the subtle detail stuff. What I caught onto was the real photos were subtly messy with imperfections. The AI ones have this idealized look to them that has a s

interesting, so the flower icon now shows up on the bottom left. Is the brightness/exposure slider not available in macro mode? Seems like when I spot touch a region in the photo to drive brightness exposure I exit macro mode. Looks ho

that is interesting to consider a neighborhood scale of infrastructure and the capabilities therein. How much copper is underground in various places, is fiber internet present or on the way, something to think about for sure.

I guess out of sight out of mind would apply here. Even if rubber stamped repeatedly maybe it will present an opportunity to catch the eye of some inquisitive type to ask why?
