Yeah, this gets messed up when money is the expression of value. Any profession with leverage will make more money, without necessarily being more valuable. Same way a HFT/quant fund manager makes more than my kid’s schoolteacher, or e

This has not been and never will be the case because of leverage. A master baker can serve maybe a 100 people with an oven, a developer can serve 100 million with a RaspberryPi. Short of violence-enforced "equality" this simply ca

Not quite the way I'm reading it. It's a variation on "if everyone wants to be a leader, who's going to follow" line. If the entire population wants to be doctors, we already know that's not going to work. And

Came here to say this :). Especially with the Foundation TV series coming out now this could almost be a PR stunt. The thesis seems sound, though. When you have a large number of people who have the aptitude and have invested heavily in joi

This road doesn't lead anywhere, for the most part, except withdrawing from society to live in a self-made cabin in the woods. Every cloud provider can be shown to be exploitative, as can every manufacturer of clothing, food, or any ot

Most principles are, no? They have goals and KPIs and reports and what not, these are the leadership principles. One would hope they revise their numbers as well to reflect these principles and correct for unintended consequences.

Ok, last comment, not sure I want to argue about this. It looks like an application, but it's not. It's a bunch of HTML, CSS and JS packaged in a specific way (using its own spec), but it's not an executable. It's just a

Doesn't look like it, see https://github.com/JosephDuffy/DocC-netlify which is the example linked in the article. The author treating the archive as a folder with static files in it, and using the URL rewriting DS

Aren’t all the problems solvable with a few scripts? The complaint seems to be that the archival format isn’t directly compatible with GitHub pages, and it’s stored in an odd folder, but should be possible to copy and extract out into any f

Exactly, and Google claims to have made those bounds so small they can be assumed to be zero for all practical applications. They mention the bound size somewhere, and if you have enough leading zeroes for your use case you can just round i

Oh god no. It means their managers evaluate them on that metric. In this case, the company has set targets on how many Linux kernel patches employees should land.

Think the answer is yes to all three questions, depending on the specifics. They've got a nice setup, about ~40+ edge locations compared to Cloudfront's ~200+, but the advantage is they're massively cheaper for very small inc

The studies they're quoting support the thesis that fathers aren't strictly necessary for child survival, only the role they perform is. So from the child survival point of view, a culture or society that does not have doting fath

The downsides sound a bit odd. The process as usually described seems like a single person usually writes the doc, often the person in charge of delivering the project? Why would there be much argument about the wording then? And if there i

If we're distributing software, maybe? Personally we control the hardware, so we know what we're running, but yeah, for libraries or packages this makes sense.

Yup. There are more shells than there are IDEs, keyboard switch types, keyboard layouts, and operating systems. Shell ideological wars get just as bad as emacs/vim and linux/Mac. Use whatever you want, but company IP is shbang&#x2

I wouldn’t use a custom shell in company work, but I’d use it for company work. I treat custom shells like a custom keyboard or shortcuts in the OS. Shells can help a lot in your day to day command line ergonomics, like presentation (al

Ah, thanks. Yeah, makes sense. I still don't get how everyone jumped to the conclusion that he was cheating before, though. Is there something so utterly impossible about the situation that make it obvious? Do grandmasters never lose g

I’ve seen companies doing buy backs to give people liquidity. In India, anyway. Check out Zerodha.

This is true. I have noticed the non-senior folks struggling a bit, especially the ones who need help and guidance in their day to day work. The been-there-done-that people who already have family and social commitments outside of work have

Big picture socially and politically, no. Although you do get a rough sense of the power structure pretty quickly. But in terms of the work you’re doing, the amount of influence you have depends on the quality of the organization. If leader

The nature of the work changes automatically when you’re this remote (I am too). Results start to matter much more than how people experience you (although that’s pretty important as well). You’ll get given work that has clearly defined inp

They use whatever to convert all the currencies of the world into your base currency, usually USD/EUR. Then they transfer that to you, and you pay more conversion fees if that’s not your actual base.

The tipping point is the 2% for currency conversion, but keep in mind that this is happening either way on Paddle as well, just not going to Paddle. Paddle takes 5%, then the entity that converts from USD to your currency (Payoneer / w

That's a property tax, not quite the same thing. You'd still pay it even if the home didn't increase in value, and you'd still pay it even if the home decreased in value, right? Isn't that more a local infrastructur

by sudhirj 5y ago
No, the more wealth doesn't mean the "more you can make". A majority of people own homes, for instance. And these homes usually go up in value. But no tax authority comes to your house and starts taxing you on how much the va

That’s usually the case of any kind of operation, no? If you use the infrastructure and services of a particular country its seems reasonable to pay taxes on your profits there.
