Thanks, I was not on the same page as you, but I take your points. I'm very skeptical of this approach, but I don't think I have anything else to add to this thread

I suspect setting the bar at 20h sends a reasonably strong signal. Even if people do overwork, they should only do it with that as a baseline, which should keep anyone from 80 hour workweeks far away (why would I work there for 80h/wee

I actually really like the anti overtime policy (half your hourly rate after 20h / week) I suspect that scares off workaholics. It's definitely sustainable if they don't plan to grow, and frankly it might still be sustainable

I tend to think that the business model of a cable news room is pretty fundamentally broken. Insofar as you value investigative journalism or pieces with some depth, you will be disappointed by organizations that host ESPN style shout fests

I think the 5% can maybe be accounted for by the cache line (you mentioned this above, and I don't think the experiment does anything to prevent the issue)? If it's 1/16th chance of crossing the cache line, that maybe is abou

The point of the naive model is that you assume memory accesses dominate That is, the math part is so trivial compared to the memory access that you could do a bunch of math and you would still only notice a change in the number of memory a

Ok, summary: This article lays out three scenarios: 1) accessing two random elements 2) accessing 3 random elements 3) accessing two pairs of adjacent elements (same as (1) but also the elements after each random element) It then does some

My questions weren't angry My point is that your claim that "it's good for business" to treat employees so well they don't benefit from advocating for themselves is clearly false in one of the largest tech companies

When I negotiate a starting salary, I don't just stick to "salary and workload." I keep everything on the table. If there are any benefits that they can provide me that are outside the scope of salary and workload, it's
