A branding problem doesn't mean all of the content is bad, no?

I've seen similar clauses in a bunch of contracts, it can't be that rare. You are unlikely to be able to add your own language (as per your case of non-exec) but you may not have to.

Risk of injury comes from two things: Environment and stresses on the body. Environmental risks can be mitigated, if the job location inherently has risks, you will be better off with a regulated industry where the regulations have teeth,

The world isn't printf debugging or debugger only. Some things are really amenable to the debugger, especially simple bugs. Really especially ones that should have been caught by static analysis anyway but that's a separate issue

It's definitely both. Ideally the debugger is never your first resort. An extremely common failure mode for less experienced developers is messing about in a debugger all afternoon for a problem that should be solvable in 5 minutes.

Lots of places have fixed rate, but not for long periods like the US. Does France offer 30 year low rates?

I can't think of another country that has anything like it, and it's largely because of the government market interference (via Fannie/Freddy especially) It's going to continue to have some weird knock on effects.

> non-competes should be banned, yes. There isn't really any problem with them if they are properly compensated. Which isn't to say they are a great idea, but not worth banning if it is a contractual agreement on both sides.

Acquisition deals often include clauses to address exactly these sort of things, they include both carrots (e.g. earn out details) and sticks (specific prohibitions).

Ah ok,then my next thought is grinder. For what it's worth I found a huge difference in consistency after getting a decent quality burr grinder.

another possible factor here is that roasted beans aren't so stable over time, so "the same" materials, aren't.

> The only "value" they provide is.. As far as I can see this is mostly an incentives problem. Bureaucratic control of academic hiring has ended up emphasizing the short term measurable (e.g. #of pages published, so-called imp

This is a wildly inaccurate take. There probably exist examples of both the extremes you describe, but in such small numbers as to probably be irrelevant. On the whole the industry is conservative but changes fairly quickly.

Remains to be seen, honestly. Clearly a noticeable leap has been made, but it's far short, so far at least, of many claims being made. For what it's worth, "except it's really happening this time" has also been sai

Unfortunately it's an abuse of terminology that "stuck" a long time ago, and I think the ship has sailed for fixing that (at least in the image processing community). These sort of techniques were named in reference to more

Huh, it was but I can't take credit for being clever about it, just simple order of magnitude estimation with a factor: e.g. I thought of a handful I was pretty sure were 500k+, rounded up to 10, then doubled as I know I don't kn

I suspect you mean "owned" by ran. Trades are a decent entry into owning a small business with higher barrier to entry than say a restaurant but still pretty straightforward and can be made revenue stable with a small team (somet

I think you are partially right, in that it should be normalized that some IC's may be delivering more value than their managers, and compensation should reflect that. The broad version, that managers just don't contribute as mu

One hint is that you only see this in jurisdictions without strong labor laws around PTO. Some places, you have to give at least X weeks accrued a year for all full time employees (might be laddered by tenure) and you have to allow them

At a certain level, this tends to be balanced with severance. "Garden leave" is different from "I can't get a job".
