if the compensation is artificially kept low yes, this should be (and is?) illegal. the fact that there are other places nearby that pay really well tells me that, at a minimum, people have options.

my point was that the people know the deal they are getting. if they still work there they are okay with it. to play devil’s advocate (from a top lawyer firm): how can one force a private entity to pay a certain wage that is way over what t

if you set a goal but don't empower people I think overall you end up killing morale. IMHO, reducing the rate of the incoming tickets can only be done with investments that are not fire-fighting. If you're doing that I think it&#x

the 'poorly paid' employees can definitely afford a lawsuit. here's the thing though: if you know what the situation is and continue to work there who is to blame? also, most stories I've heard is that the sub-optimal co

you know. being a rockstar is not a solo thing. It’s a team thing. Usually rockstars teams are born out of high functioning teams where everyone is making everyone better.

hmm. Do Microsoft or Tesla pay well? Last time I interviewed at M$ I had to turn down their offer because of how bad the comp was.

well… you’re being downvoted. first: if you were truly homeless and in danger if starvation you’d work there. it’s also not cool to diminish people because they’re homeless. second: having Amazon on your resume is not bad. It shows that you

It’s a thing. The author was not unlucky. It’s actually a thing (I worked in AWS, I have heard this from several managers, some which actually had trouble struggling with how stupid the system is). You have a team of X engineers and you wan

worked in AWS for a while, but it was 5 years ago. you’re right that your manager can make or break your experience. For the first couple of years there it kinda sucked, mostly due to oncall (our ticket queue was at 3000 tickets at some poi

I would say that most drugs have different effects at different doses. It's usually not the drug that is the problems, it's the dosage. To answer the rapamycin question: the normal dose that is given in case of an organ transplan

I agree with you. Seems I cannot edit the comment now, and this is not an excuse by any means, but the first sentence came as a visceral reaction to the obvious uninformed and fear-mongering tone of the person I responded to. In my opinion

lookup Alan Green. The original OG. A doctor that actually prescribes rapamycin for his patients. If you wanna go deeper, lookup papers by Blagosklonny ok rapamycin. It’s fascinating stuff. Also, do you know about the Dog Aging Project? yup

by rantwasp 5y ago
i’m sorry but you’re spewing garbage. rapamycin is an immunosuppressor. what that means it’s suppressing your immune system (it’s normally given with organ transplants) at the normal dose, as a possible side effect of this suppression your

I think there’s multiple buckets here. One is the old fashioned poverty you bring up. It exists, it sucks. A lot of people are struggling. Another one is people that technically have all they need but spend money they don’t have on things

yo don't have stored procedures. everything is done in the code. so you only have 2 things to worry about (the db schema and the code). you still have the problem of the schema versioning but you only have to worry about 2 things

it’s one thing to offer an idea or point out something could be done in a different, better way. completely different when you’re told it’s not gonna be done that way but you go ahead and do it anyway. the “rebellious” attitude also comes w

this is ridiculous. If either Horowitz or Andreessen are into something there is usually a pretty good chance that the thing is going to be big. pay attention.
