in my single, more Lothario-oriented days, I've set up online dating profiles as women in my area with my ideal qualities to see what my competition sends out. It's a most eye-opening experience, that's for sure.
Negative consequences/feedback from their social group tend to do the job quite nicely, in most of the cases :-) To paraphrase the old comedian Will Rogers, there's always been three kinds of people in this world:
those who learn by reading
those who learn by observing others
but that third group just _has_ to go and pee on that electric fence.
We can't optimize society to coddle the fence-micturators 100% of the time, unfortunately. Solutions to that problem "don't scale", or get terribly fascist in a hurry.
Because wisdom comes from making mistakes, learning from them, and having context to better extrapolate and evaluate similar scenarios in the future. Censorship of the young denies them that feedback, removes agency from them, and doesn't make them wiser in the process.
You have to tailor the message to the audience. In my family/original community (before moving out west), I was considered 'moderate' at best on firearms. For this crowd and the West Coast in general, I (like GP) am considered 'extreme'. Case in point - I don't think it's a terrible idea to arm the teachers _who want to arm themselves_. Forcing teachers who don't want to carry to do so is incredibly short-sighted and dangerous. However, there's a non-trivial number of teachers (generally far away from the Left Coast political enclaves) that very much would like to carry, but are hamstrung by federal law. Those are the ones I believe we should allow to carry, IF the desire is there. Just my $0.02.
As others have said, it's a pretty generic JD. Definitely consider hiring remote (your candidate pool goes WAY up), but also consider putting the salary _range_ in place to help weed out folks who will waste your time with requirements outside your budget.
Keep in mind that you may be pricing yourself too low for your market. If after the above, you still aren't at least interviewing quality candidates, bump your budget in $20k (or whatever local currency makes sense for you) increments until the market wants to come to you.
tl; dr - unhappy with the quality of your talent pool? Hiring remote and raising your budget is the fastest way to buy yourself out of the problem.
also note earlier in their feed, a few hours before they announced the death of the canary, they had a 'full system outage due to a poorly communicated maintenance by their ISP'. To me, this screams "Narus box at our edge" or similar shady behavior.
I note from the article:
"Mr. Kaplow has tried everything he can think of to find workers, placing Craigslist ads, asking other franchisees for referrals, seeking to hire people from Subways that have closed."
it does not say anything about 'Mr. Kaplow has tried offering higher wages'. This relates to an older HN article - "Employers will do almost anything to hire workers, except pay them more" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17506044
I've gotten a fair amount of pushback on deploying Meraki specifically because of its cloud-based configuration tools. The SMB sites I deploy wifi to push back on their config living 'in the cloud', and the annual Meraki subscription ('you mean the service just turns off if we don't keep paying?') doesn't sit well either. I love Ubiquiti for its ability to be cloud-based for the folks who would want it, but completely private/internal for the folks who prefer it that way too.
To answer the author's question, "why do these molecules promote boundless love", it is selection bias. There's surely molecules that produce abject, existential, pants-filling terror, but those molecules dont get shared around in a communal setting, if they get shared at all.
I think Johnathan Friedland is really wishing right now that his comments were evaluated within the context of the content of his character, and not the context of the color of his skin.
Comcast is my biggest blocker to IPv6 adoption. I maintain a static v4 block with them, they tell me I have to give that up if I want a v6 block. Until I give up v4, v6 works on my network right up to the Comcast modem, and is promptly dropped on the floor. Regrettably, that is 'no bueno' for a multitude of reasons. :-(
Minor nit to pick, freedom can absolutely be both bought and brute-forced. We call them (less-relevant example in modern times) "buying yourself out of slavery" and (slightly more relevant) "war".
That'll get you the code, the branches, and the commit history. There can be a fair amount of metadata and other non-Git-but-still-gitlab-equivalent stuff like Issues, wikis, etc, and that's what the importer process brings over.
Some of us are old enough to remember Microsoft of the 90's and early aughties. "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" was the name of the game then, many of us haven't forgiven Microsoft for that yet (and nor do we plan to).
This is why you have a Testing environment you can sandbox this kind of thing out on first ;-)
Or, as the old sawhorse goes, "every company has a Testing environment. Some companies are fortunate enough to have a separate production environment as well"
Salary range - "What's the least you're willing to pay a barely-concious droid who squeaks by with the bare minimum of effort to not get fired, versus the top-end for the 'does it all and then some' purple-squirrel candidate who ascends your corporate achievement ladder with a Greek chorus of rainbows and unicorn-giggles?"
Fully remote? Yes or no would suffice. I just might _be_ that aforementioned purple secret squirrel for your role, but my 50 square-mile chunk of rock might be nowhere near your 50 square mile chunk of rock. Would this discrepancy be resolvable by a convenient global communications network and low-latency link to same, or are you mired in last century's "manager must be able to see your butt in a chair at all times" model of employment?
They're an opt-in pervasive surveillance company, but instead of sharing the data with advertisers, they share it with your employer. I can't personally imagine ever willingly using their product, but apparently many other people can. Congratulations, I think?
Agreed. For even a small tech business, $650 should be in the 'lol whatever' category of purchasing - especially if there's compliance regimes mandating some kind of HSM in the stack.
What's wrong with trying to get the attention of the CIO at a regional widget-factory? Do we not have C-levels of all locations and stripes in this community?
