Since the OP indicated elsewhere that the storage need not be local on the machine, Backblaze is almost certainly the best answer.

500 GB of Backblaze B2 storage is $2.50 / month

Pair that with a $5 DigitalOcean droplet and the need is met for a grand total of $7.50 / month.
That's where trust comes in. For remote work you need people who are self motivated. I see it as an amplifier. Motivated people often become more productive. Unmotivated people become less productive.
Most of the objections from the cable companies seem to be about DRM concerns, licensing (from studios), and ad-stripping. If 3rd parties are allowed to remove or replace ads, it will dramatically change cable television, and mean that consumers will have to pay for all the costs of television program production themselves, without the subsidy of advertisers. I am not sure whether that would be better or worse than the current model, but it is not obviously better.

I am not sure that the FCC has the authority to mandate the creation of an API. Putting that aside, how exactly would you force agreement on an open API? What do you do if parties disagree? You can't always split the difference, and you may end up with a very limited API which could even be unworkable. This could end up like the cable card, which was eventually recognized as a failure and discontinued.

You are also skipping over some of the more problematic issues with the FCC proposal, such as how the cable companies must certify that 3rd party boxes maintain user privacy. I am not sure how the cable companies are supposed to do this, and it seems like the FCC is just using that requirement as a way to blame the cable companies when the 3rd parties inevitable do violate expectations of privacy. The FCC is doing this because the FCC has no authority to regulate the 3rd parties.
yes, heroku is good. But I am talking about using my own cloud providers. Like DO or AWS.
Stupid question, but can Google (or Bing) associate what you searched for or which link you clicked in incognito searches? I've always wondered how truly incognito they are.
I think there would be value in distinguishing fully remote from occasional work from home.

I can see reasons to reject the former, but the latter (at least to me) should be a given. If you don't do it, you are losing a significant competitive advantage over the competition to hire great people.

I used to work at a company where WFH was not allowed. We were working with a recruiter to fill a few positions, and the guy was pretty honest, it told us "you guys are at the bottom of the pool because you don't allow WFH".

This was my experience when I worked remotely for an East Coast company while based in SF. When I joined the company the expectation was that I would work Pacific hours, coming online around 9am PDT. Of course reality proved very different, and slowly my start time crept earlier and earlier until I found myself online at 6am daily - I was effectively working 3-4 hours longer than my East Coast colleagues simply because of the timezone I was located in. I didn't last long and moved to Bay Area company that allowed me to work from home 2-3 days a week.

What are best practices for blocking tracking on iOS?

What I'm doing now is:

Vpn
Logged out of Google maps, YouTube, etc.
Safari privacy settings to most private. Only exception was allowing cookies on current site only, rather than never
Focus by Firefox with all privacy options checked
DuckDuckGo for search.

Anything else?

Also, how do you do a non indented list in hacker news? I have never figured this out.

Update:

I added some stuff. I began using 1blocker. Disabled all cookies by default, but am whitelisting them on site only for a few sites I have to log in to.

Using this site to test. Now with Vpn on, only hardware, software and gyroscope are leaking. Not sure there is any way to block this on iOS.

Both. Again, I may be coming from a standpoint of ignorance here, but setting up a Linux client requires manual mucking about with PAM and its associated config files, with different steps required for every major distro.

Same with the server side - there's no good equivalent to the Windows' "Active Directory Users & Computers". Plenty of good command line tools, but I don't think those are that useful when reasoning about a "tree" structure used in LDAP.

Yeah if it raised production 11% and 5 managers were no longer needed, that would be a substantial savings. Why would upper management revert from ROWE?
From the monopolists' perspective, I guess every day you delay can be measured in vast sums of money. Moreover, if they're aware of the reality that the "Set top box" has a very limited lifespan in the future, they may just be milking the market while they have it, and to hell with anything else.

I understand what you're saying, but I think you're confusing tools and deliverables.

If I hired someone to do data analysis, and they delivered accurate results using SQLite, I could not fault them since the deliverable is correct, whether they used SQLite or PG.

If I hired someone to build a web application, and then found out that it only worked in Chrome, that's a broken deliverable.

The specific tool (SQLite/PG/etc or Chrome/FF/Lynx/etc) used for creating each deliverable doesn't matter.
The problem with this line of thought is that it completely upends classical cause and effect. Things have effects in proportion to their size. The sun has a way bigger effect on us than Jupiter does.

But when you get to the scale of ideas, the logic upends. The pen should not be mightier than the sword, but is because ideas have outsized effects on the world compared to their physical size as merely electrons moving in brains.

But logic can be maintained by extending existence out to the non-physical. Ideas can be bigger than other ideas, and you can logically evaluate them. You just have to figure out the rules first.

> Reading this causes me to experience déjà vu; years and years of reading stories and watching presentations about someone struggling with GC in the JVM. It's happening all over again with Go.

It's because GC is an area full of tradeoffs, and despite popular belief, the HotSpot GC is really good. In fact, I honestly don't know of any way to improve on the HotSpot GC for general-purpose use (i.e. throughput/latency balancing). HotSpot has a generational, concurrent, compacting GC; allocation takes 4 or 5 instructions (really!); the compiler has SROA to aggressively optimize out allocations where unneeded.
Well of course. The only thing the browser incognito mode guarantees is that no local data will stay around (cookies, cache, history, etc), but beyond that there's nothing stopping Google or any other online service from collecting and extrapolating data, even if you are not logged in.

When I was a beginner I also tried to design all kinds of fancy, flexible and auto-adjusting stuff. With years I came to the understanding that most of it is just unnecessary and wouldn't diminish the user experience in any way if you didn't do it the fancy way and instead went with a simpler route.

CSS like any technology has its limits. In reality it is often good because it forces you to rethink what you're doing and reconsider whether you really need it. If we had a technology with unlimited capabilities, a lot of developers would be lost there forever and wouldn't be able to accomplish the larger goal completely lost in pursuing all the secondary details they could possibly imagine.
Stop the world vs stop one country while the rest of the world carries on.
I've worked for companies as a remote worker, and I've owned a company that for its entire lifetime hired remote staff. In my experience, as long as you hire good people, the time zone delta is the only limitation that's extremely difficult if not impossible to overcome. Everything else can be solved with good communication (which should exist anyway), good requirements (which should exist anyway), and good process (which should exist anyway).

If the time zone range of a team is less than about 4, then in my experience the team works quite well. If the range is greater than 5, it almost always encounters problems that even good process, requirements, and communication struggle to solve.

There are always exceptions, of course.

I'm not a quantum physicist so take this with a grain of salt, but my favourite analogy is heliocentric vs geocentric orbits: http://i.imgur.com/AReqgfP.gif

The collection of data can have assumptions built in that you are unaware of. If you aren't thinking about the earth moving when measuring the orbits of the other planets the data shows that the orbits are pretty crazy.

Likewise when we measure at the quantum level things seem pretty crazy, things in two places at once, etc. Saying "Once something is small enough it can behave completely differently from what we observe at larger scales" is a pretty big assumption.

String theory trades some assumptions for others to rationalize some of the 'crazy behaviour' at small scales.

The data is horribly presented. It took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out "+X% above national average cost of living" means that the cost of living in the place is X% higher than the national average. I thought they were talking about the salaries, and it didn't make any sense to me.

My biggest question about remote work is how do you get the culture and knowledge-sharing-through-osmosis (that is, unconference style chats at the watercooler or the pub after work or whatever informal knowledge sharing that happens)?

I work from home 3 days a week, so I still have enough office-face-time for that not to be a problem, but we have a lot of 100% remote workers too (who aren't even in the same country) and who get left out of a lot of informal conversations just because they don't happen to be there when a group of us walks to the shop or whatever it is. We do fly everyone over every few months, and those periods are fantastic, but I still can't help but feel that the remote people are losing out and the company is losing out on their input outside of the normal work stuff.

Would love to hear others thoughts and experiences on this and ideas on how it could be remedied!
I wonder if I can hire an intern or something to just transcribe all conference calls? Actually having a record of what was said would be lovely - too often audio is just too ephemeral and goes poof, with nobody remembering what was agreed upon.

Very underwhelming, I'm actually quite surprised that most people seem to find this useful and interesting. I mean, normal distribution, Moore's law, minimum viable product, paradox of choice... that's pretty basic stuff.
> Thats because CSS is not powerful enough

This kind of objection is totally missing the point.

And this isn't an argument that CSS doesn't have painful limits (it does) or even about what constitutes "enough" (within its limits, CSS offers enough possibilities that your own ideas of what the app "should" be like may be as much as a limit as the problems of CSS are).

The power of CSS is largely orthogonal to the underlying issue.

Ideally, your web site/app is still usable even with every last stylesheet completely ignored. It should work with Lynx, or with entirely non-visual user agents (screenreaders, search bots, Siri etc).

CSS should enhance via layout and other presentation rules where that's possible.

JS should provide more convenient application behavior where that's possible.

Instead, we've slipped into a space where the browser (and, frequently enough, one browser) is simply considered The VM That Lived™, just another runtime target. And that's a sign of its growing power, and that power isn't a bad thing because there are in fact some applications that don't fit the hypermedia model well and the browser's ability to play the just another runtime role opens a space for them. But the rush to get into that space is considerably overdone and apparently executed without a lot of awareness of what's been lost in moving that way.
That sounds just _so_ wrong for me. I´d not like to have a router that behaves like that.

Learning the radicals does allow a certain amount of 'chunking' and makes things easier, but it's by no means a consistent system like an alphabet. Sometimes one radical is sound and another is meaning, sometimes neither, sometimes there's like 5 of them crammed in there, and every character has a different little mnemonic story. Alphabets with consistent rules are objectively much less work to learn.

Anyways I certainly wasn't advocating some sort of government-imposed wholesale switchover and banning the characters.. we couldn't even manage a switch to metric in the US, that would be crazy.

As for pinyin being insufficient.. people disambiguate those words from context all the time in spoken conversation, right? Why wouldn't pinyin with tone marks work as a written language? I'm far from fluent or conversational, honestly asking.
2. Having an office is still very nice. Sometimes you simply can't get work done and home and need to come to the office.

Sometimes you just can't get any work done at the office and need to go home and do it without distractions and micromanagement.

For the most part I agree with you. My most productive stint lately was when I was in the office on Mondays, and worked remotely the rest of the time. Get all the face-to-face stuff and boiler-plate communication out of the way on Mondays, resigning to the fact that nothing really productive will get done.

The trailer culture is still solidly lead-acid, for which most airstreams will support the weight. Lithiums are definitely better in theory, but they aren't that much better volumetrically, and they're considerably less forgiving- you'll either pay through the nose for the intelligent battery management circuitry or end up with a ticking time bomb. I'd plan on sticking with lead acid to start. It's forgiving, good in the cold, and heat. With a 99+% recycling rate, it's not like you'll be killing the environment by doing so. Stick with AGM or gel lead-acids to eliminate the risk of acid spillover and failure from lack of maintenance.

Since airstreams are shiny and curved, flat rigid solar panels are probably not going to be what you want. There are a number of thin film panels, and although most of them are less area-efficient than commodity silicon PV panels, you can compact them more easily and then deploy once parked. Thin films can easily win on weight-efficiency too.

PV's are unfortunately, regardless of efficiency, not going to absorb enough sunlight to do much more than charge your laptop and maybe keep your batteries topped off and run a fan or minifridge. That is, unless, you have a ridiculously large number of PV modules taking up half your interior space, or you only camp in spots that are nice all year.

Living requires heating/cooling, food, water, toilet, and bath/shower. Those are usually the hardest things to get right. Active climate control requires wall or truck power, or a genset (yuck!).

Lastly, budget a lot for an airstream, and budget a lot of time and money for the renovations you want to do. People in the know may tut-tut the upgrades you want to do because they are purists when it comes to airstreams.

Not my experience at all, in my case the suggestions have become so good that I find myself checking what articles Google has for me multiple times a day.

It's interesting that Washington acknowledged the binding effect that shared culture has on a nation. I see the Nordic countries praised often on HN, and the counterpoint is always some variety of "but they have little diversity". I wonder what Washington would say about the US and the effects of a variety of ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural heritages now?
Thanks for the answer. I will check it - never thought of doing that!
Bandwidth into both B2 and DigitalOcean is free, bandwidth OUT of them is metered (or in the case of DO you get a bucket of bandwidth to start and then it's metered past that bucket).
One reason would be an assumption that ROWE requires a manager like the person that quit to maintain it, and without him, the production would drop through the floor. Upper management were conservatively rolling back to what worked before him.
