OT: dB$

When negotiating a raise or contract terms, how should one express dB gain?

As: 20*log( New $ rate/ Current $ rate ) i.e. as a magnitude ratio

Or: 10*log( New $ rate / Current $ rate ) i.e. as a power ratio

Either way, I anticipate operating into a very high impedance.

Careful, that kind of talk could bounce back to you later.

It's obvious. Money is power.

20Log(N$/O$), since it's a pretax number. Your accountant (and any SO) will see 10Log(N$/O$).

I thought Knowledge is Power. And Time is Money.

Since Work = Power * Time

Substituting variables, we get:

Work = Knowledge * Money

or:

Money = Work / Knowledge

So, the less you know, the more you get paid for the same amount of work.

One shouldn't, in those circumstances.

Why does this not surprise me? ;-P

Ouch! :-) Clearly there's a law that says smart alec responses are a continuing series.

Definitely not. Or do you tolerate -3dB less payment ?

For me, it's frequency dependent. If you want to pay at lower frequencies, you have to pay more. 30 days net, 60 days +0.4 dB, 90 days

  • 0.8 dB.

It\'s always about power, so the trick becomes one of matching the
source impedance (where the money\'s coming from) to the load, (where
you want the money to go to) you.

That way, half the money stays at the source. The Maximum Dollar Theorem is a trap for the unwary. One of the two best arrangements for 'maximum $$ received' is like an audio amp output - near zero source impedance and load impedance 10 to 100 times higher. The other is its dual.
