This makes me think: is depression a human societal defense mechanism?

Having a diversity of perspectives along an optimism scale seems optimal when faced with an external threat to your tribe/group.

If everyone knew about this, democracy might be more effective. We would only elect depressed people to positions of power, favoring their superior acumen. The most convincing speeches would be nihilist considerations on the uselessness of trying and the futility of life, then we would know, "this is the one who sees things as they are". One issue, though, might be that the military commander in chief might try to use that power against themselves.

Edit: Reading further into the article, it seems my utopia is actually unrealistic, how unfortunate.

They had very smart but quite junior engineering management.

There was a lot of political pressure from investors etc to match the effort of a local competitor - who had sort-of (naturally they missed all the good, non-obvious bits) cloned our product with a staggering staff of 600 people.

So probably a little bit of both.
"So, whoever has the cheapest power will be able to provide cheapest services"

While it's a good point, I don't entirely agree with it.

More apt: renewables are not cheap. They are very expensive in almost all parts of the Western world.

Is it? Intel has been purchasing large quantities of green energy for years. In the last few year it has been 100% of the their overall consumption [1]. Is there any difference in what the two companies are trying to achieve?

Right, they don't want it to leak to third parties, that would hurt their revenue. They want to sell it to third parties.
The grid itself. So in the end it pretty much means that they're actually running on renewables. If everyone does what Google does, the utilities could just stop producing fossil fuel electricity entirely and the world would actually consume zero electricity from fossil fuel.

I'm working with http://www.direct-outbound.com/ to fulfill orders for Action Tea. It works fairly well, although the shipping prices are a bit tough, but that depends on the volume and the type of deal you negotiate.

I'm paying 1.60 USD per fulfilment item + shipping. And the whole operation is in the US, while I'm sitting in Switzerland and shipping worldwide, without touching the product. I'm doing low-ish numbers, but do know a lot of eCommerce experts who are doing the exact same thing.

I hope that helps!

Yeah, I am working on something like this right now. What are your dietary restrictions?

I see menu planning and grocery shopping as completely unnecessary pain (and honestly, people are bad at it).

The hope for the service is to basically make it where it makes the menu and orders the groceries then all you need to do is cook it. :)

It isn't a subscription box, it makes customized menus but I definitely see the strong benefits of Blue Apron and the like, I just see them as unnecessarily rigid.
Ask HN: What type of remote work do you find optimal and why?
What situation has worked for you, or you have wished you could have?

Fully remote and geographically distributed? Co-located but flexible work from home days? Remote, but close enough for weekly in person? Remote work is the root of all evil?
Exactly. It's not DOS, it's another interface Windows. It tell you so on it's first line! Everything you run in it won't print "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." and exit.

Pretty far out of my depth here, but I did the same w/ 3 Long Range Dual Band Pro APs and I'm quite pleased... so thirded.
OP here. I’m curious on this question for a few reasons.
-- I have worked primarily from home the last ~6 years and I’m curious of others’ opinions.
-- I’ve been working on a new conferencing app (Locus, https://inthelocus.com) and am wondering both how to structure our team if we don’t end up in the startup graveyard, and how others like to work and might use similar products.

My perceived optimal: A geographically close team, with flexibility to work remotely whenever beneficial.

Why?: Remote work has a lot of well known benefits that speak to me: no commute, potentially less distractions when you really need to just work, potentially more flexibility on hours when you need to work around appointments or childcare, etc. BUT, there is a certain energy level when a team is really together that seems very hard to replicate remotely. How much time together is enough to replicate this? Would even a weekly beer night be enough?

My experience:
For 8.5 yrs I worked at a semiconductor lithography tool manufacturer. 3 years in person, 4 years remotely but a ~3 hr drive from the office for important meetings, etc, and 1.5 yrs a plane ride away. The fact we were building hardware likely makes this fairly different from a SW only business. Having worked in person before going remote seemed really critical for work relationships. Coming in every few weeks seemed like barely enough to keep up with the energy level and the relationships. And an unexpected benefit was that traveling to the office frequently ended up as an excuse for the team to go out for drinks, or for me to spend much more time with visitors from our international headquarters than I might have if I was going home. The later time being a plane ride away felt like too infrequent of interactions and I slowly drifted away from the energy.

Now I’ve been working on a pure software project with 1 co-founder. We primarily work from home, but live close enough to meet whenever it seems helpful. And we already have a long history with each other. This works out well for 2 of us, but I’m not sure it can scale.

I think you're thinking of Carl deGrasse Feynman.
"You can predict the supply of wind, as an average over a long enough period of time, much more easily than you can predict the supply of oil."

Over the long haul, yes, but in real-time - no. And electricity prices to fluctuate a lot over days, weeks etc..

But indicating that 'price stability' is a point for green is not really fair, when it's almost always going to be considerably more expensive.

Knowing that something is going to be 'consistent, and consistently more expensive', I don't think is a good argument for green.

There are other, better arguments.
So you are saying because A is a subset of B, then I cannot claim overlap? Because you refuse to acknowledge the reality of racial identity politics? I guess when the White Nationalists meet in DC to do their Sig Heil in support of Trump (this literally happened) or vandalize churches in DC (this literally happened) we can all pretend that the dialogue attacking minorities is unrelated to white nationalism? That sites like Breitbart who push these racially charged stories can wash their hands while they collect ad revenue from stirring up racial violence?

I disagree.
Some people - they don't call themselves psychiatrist on purpose - say that depression is not a (mental) illness but a normal human reaction to "abuse". The Psychopath Code by Hintjens [1] describes how different entities (persons, societies, government, etc.) can "abuse" you. Putting the two things together gives an interesting view on depression.

For me it is not surprising that people who have been "abused" in the past don't get fooled that easy the second time. IMHO the persons who successful overcome depression acquire some kind of "super power". The power which comes also with stoicism.

Good feedback.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing - that companies who are self hosting are more likely to be engineering-oriented. Otherwise like you said it's just too much of a pain to handle it yourself.

May I ask, why did you self-host vs use an external service? To save money, for greater security and privacy?

Just to note: although the models discussed in this blog can be arbitrary deep and rely on multilayer perceptrons, the principles of learning are completely different then in other contemporary deep learning: the error is injected at every level in a distributed way. There is no vanishing gradient, because there is no necessity to propagate anything end to end.

If only you were correct. Unfortunately, the problem of "fake news" is very real. For example, shortly after the Pope basically denounced the current president elect, a news article went around saying the Pople was endorsing Donald Trump. This was shared a million+ times.

The problem of fake news is not subjective. It is a problem of active and obvious deception.

I have interacted with many people who have shared blatantly false articles, based on clearly invented "facts." articles. These articles were always shared by many thousands of people.

What are you basing your comment on? The way you want the world to be?

That's exactly how many of the Fake News articles operate.

Sad.
Great, I'll be in touch! :)
Oh, I don't blame the IEEE wholly - but I think that they probably changed tack after realizing that a number of manufacturers were simply not paying the fees to actually be assigned a block of OUIs. I view it as kind of a cudgel to be used against vendors, and end-users (read: netops/sysops) are caught in the middle.

This was a really nice experience.

"Let's just say that it's hard to make anything past 2000 EUR per month after taxes in Paris. "

If we are speaking of software engineering salaries that's really low. In Helsinki capable professionals can get 'easily' 3000€ after taxes per month (not in all companies though). If one has proven track record, is undoubtedly in 'smart and gets things done' category, etc.

An opinion stated to a community that (generally speaking) thinks that Git is a pretty good piece of software.

Snarky, I'm sorry, but you're 100% right. I grew up in a world where there was tons of optimism in software development. Programs like HyperCard, FileMaker, Microsoft Access, Visual Basic/WinForms, RealBasic, etc. promised to make (the most common type of) application development accessible to everybody with minimal training.

HyperCard's most successful developers didn't come from software development backgrounds-- they were artists, journalists, historians, etc.

(See this excellent article: http://www.filfre.net/2016/10/the-manhole/ )

All that's abandoned now. The optimism is gone. Developers who gave a crap seemed to have disappeared a decade ago. The open source development methodology, who never gave a crap about ease-of-use even when Apple and Microsoft used it as the foundation of their products, have taken over all software development.

And I sit at my cubicle, thinking about the now-dead world that was emerging back in the mid-90s, thinking: I could have been a plumber instead.

E-paper (E-Ink is a brand name) works by magnetically moving small black or white particles (suspended in fluid) for each pixel whenever it needs to change. It's a bit like an etch-a-sketch, it's an analog system at the low level. At minimum, the movement takes time. Also, the current state of the pixel affects the charge that needs to be applied for a given target state - that means either taking more time to calculate, getting an afterimage, or doing that whole-screen black-white flicker to clear everything out. Probably all three due to precision limits.

A 70k salary on which the employee will see something like 50% taken out of the 70/12=5.83k paycheck every month.

The employee will see something less than 3k arrive every month, while it costs the company 150k per year.

This explains why you may not get the best and the brightests. (with these 30k per year you can fund you education, healthcare and unemployment)

Also, the cost of living in Paris may be less than NYC, SF, DC, but I think that's about it.

I agree that they are ahead of the game. Combined Cycle Gas Turbine generators are still the most economic way to produce electricity... though carbon tax and renewable subsidies do tip the scale in some markets. I don't think they are purely doing this for cheap electricity... at least not right now. I believe in what they are doing, and think it will help facilitate a transition to more efficient renewables eventually, but I don't believe they are doing this for the economic benefit right now... it's a good PR move that could also pay off financially in the long run... in my opinion.

At least ~2 years ago, CAH was using the contract logistics services[1] of OHL (now GEODIS).

The Blackbox site mentions it operates "like a co-op". I'm curious if they're still using GEODIS for the actual services and Blackbox is just a passthrough entity for CAH to leverage higher volume for bigger price breaks, or if they're actually operating as a 3PL company themselves now.

We just list our budgeted amount. Candidates will get at least the bottom number, so they can be sure we're not going to low-ball at offer time. The highest number indicates what we won't be offering above as that's the maximum for the budget. Candidates who want more then know it's unlikely to be a good fit for them, so know not to apply. There's no reason to be dishonest.

The problem with not posting it is this: most candidates who would have been a good fit for the position won't even bother applying. I'd prefer to post it and get the odd annoying candidate trying to negotiate up than not get any decent range of applications at all.

Personally, I'll just skim right on over a job advert that didn't bother posting the range. There are plenty of other good jobs from companies who do post it.
My most positive experiences have been office-based but with flexibility to work from home when needed.

I found it was needed pretty often: most offices are not well set up for productive software development work, and I was much more often productive from home.

I've also worked for a remote team at a large company (twice!) -- meaning a small group geographically separate from HQ or the main team on the project -- and found it was a nice excuse to travel, but ultimately I suspect the team would've been better all in one place. (That company eventually agreed and dramatically reduced team geographical splits.)
The first paragraph has the form of the common "toughen up" response to this post, but you hit on the important point: framing matters.
