Economically this is not at all what happened though. The baby boomer generation was simply exceptionally lucky, economically speaking. Gen X and Y are still in the very lucky category. Compared to the generation that actually went to war, we still have it much better economically.

Unfortunately that mostly means that our kids will likely have it worse, not better. Starting with baby boomers we simply had too few children to keep growing GDP. GDP, and economic activity in general shows a remarkable and extremely direct relation to two things : total amount of energy used, and total amount of people. For the first time in over 70 years, both are stagnating, slowly.

And it's too late : to fix the population growth rate, gen X should have been having lots of kids one to two decades ago, and that has decidedly not happened. For the foreseeable future, we'll have to do more with less, both in terms of energy, but especially in terms of labor available.

You might say "but machine learning", "but robots", etc. Well that's exactly what they said in the 80s with the car plant closings. That was patently false. Then they said it again with Japan crashing and then stagnating. Again, not true. Now we're saying it about ourselves (but doubly so for China). I don't think this time it will be right either.
> I'm taking issue with the "blaming the victim" card.

I also tend to gag slightly at the phrase "victim blaming", because I think it's a shibboleth that identifies your allegiances and shuts down critical thinking. But I don't actually think it's unwarranted here. Yes, the article says the people involved gave Bindmans their passwords. It also says those passwords were defunct, and that Bindmans had them anyway. It doesn't say that they didn't make reasonable efforts to verify that sharing the passwords was the right thing to do (which, as it turns out, it was). It's extremely ungenerous to respond to that by saying they deserved it for being so crap at security.

I am willing to concede that it's unlikely anybody in this thread is Hitler.
I was a contractor at Vanguard around 2007-2008. IIRC, pay wasn't that good but rank and file FTE recieved 30k+ bonuses (allegedly). With this recent growth I wonder if compensation there has grown at a similar rate. I rarely hear people mention it as a good place to work or as having highly competitive compensation.

The recruitment programs for foreign students are way better here (in the Netherlands) with some universities because they get about double from them vs regulars. Though the difference looks even bigger when you take into account that what students pay is not the same as what the University gets.

I think this is even worsened by the fact that foreign students pay directly towards the university and become a primary source of revenue and the 'regular' students money is tertiary (state) or secondary (scholarship) which has conditions and delays attached.

I guess it is probably the same all over the world.

Modern-style companies have existed for a couple hundred years now. For some reason, co-ops (employee ownership) has had very limited success in that whole time, and across all free market countries. Could that reason be that it's a less effective method of providing value? In economics terms, I think what we have here is the tragedy of the commons - if all employees equally benefit from improving company's situation, what incentive I as an industrious and creative employee have to make the company better? - I'll do the hard work and will only reap a tiny fraction of the reward. Contrast that with an industrious and creative owner, who reaps a large part of the reward, and thus has a huge incentive to constantly improve his company. It is very visible in communist economies - the companies are owned by everyone so people care about them as much as they care about the pavement on the street or a public toilet.
Why is it so terrible that they control the order of the feed? If the feed was just sorted by date then it would be unusable for most people. I feel like a lot of objections to how Facebook does things come down to thinking Facebook is something different from what it is. It is not, nor is it intended to be, something that shows you every single post from every single friend.
Say more. Why do I believe in the Capital Asset Pricing Model and Efficient Markets (both proven wrong) if I invest in Vanguard's cheap S&P 500 ETF?

I invest in their S&P 500 ETF because it's the cheapest way to get diversified exposure to the 500 largest American companies, and I believe that the 500 largest American companies will be more valuable in the future as a combination of valuation, scale, and cash flows to owners, than they are right now.
Sent this to my wife who happily input everything we have in the fridge:

I worked at home for 5 years and had more problems getting into the flow than i have in an office. But i also did not have a real office and was usually not alone at home, which makes things worse. However i know a lot of people that say they would not wfh because they feel more productive in an office environment, so i believe the point is valid.

Personally i now prefer to have the option to wfh on some days (i don't use it often) but in general i enjoy working at an office. My communte is also just 20min by bike though.

It's certainly not a hard goal -- I wouldn't pretend that even SaaS businesses are all that similar. (The degree of reassessment after 3 months is up to you, after all.)

It's really a way to frame the product launch by forcing you to ask hard questions about what you're doing. If you don't even see a way for the product to reach $10k/month with a short-term plan, maybe it's a side project rather than a startup? Or maybe the product niche is too vague or unprofitable, and you need to work on that first?

Thanks, much appreciated! I've built numerous HA setups where clients think of every aspect of their redundancy, except for DNS & TLS.

For the DNS aspect, I'm trying to raise awareness through DNS Spy.

For the TLS part, I hope someone else can pick that up and promote multiple CA's somehow, so domain owners have a back-up cert in case a wrong (intermediate) certificate ever gets revoked.

Facebook open-sources Caffe2, a new deep learning framework
If it is a complete machine-learning backed algorithm (I have no idea if it is), it could learn that if you find a time sensitive post after the deadline, it gives you FOMO and you start checking FB more frequently. That is, the algorithm is optimizing for engagement.
Hopefully they're taking into account the actual active times of the fans of a page. If your fans are fairly local, which would map a lot of sense for a newspaper, a page could have huge swings in engagement throughout the day on the same content.
I work for the Trib, and read it every day. While your comment about Ferro is true, being interested in hanging with celebrities, I have not noticed a change in the content with Ferro in charge.

The Trib has always focused on very local stuff - city and state politics, the midwest, local sports teams, the spike in murders, etc. I don't think that is going to change. I think the editorial board would like to believe it has a higher national profile since we live in the 3rd largest city in the country but in reality we're very regional. We also own the LA Times which actually does have a higher national profile. But I digress.

I'm not going to dispute some of your legitimate gripes. I'm not a fan of celebrity gossip either. I only know a couple of journalists but I suspect they would agree with you. Facebook or other 3rd party does not have any obligation to us.

But the simple truth is our print circulation is declining at a rate faster than our digital circulation is rising. All newspapers are dealing with this issue.

The NYT and WashPo has done much better with revenue and digital circulation, 2 papers that do an excellent job of covering subjects of substance. However those rises are directly related to Trump. Even we have seen a rise in subscriptions at the CT as well as LA Times due to Trump. And The LA Times does a really great job of the kind of coverage you are looking for.

I feel like you are missing the point of the article. More eyeballs hopefully leads to more advertising revenue, which leads to more money for better coverage, or at least pays the salaries of reporters who provide that coverage. If a third party that previously was delivering more eyeballs is declining that is a concern. All the quality coverage in the world will not change that. It's a legitimate concern for us.
I have seen this advice throughout this thread - "first find customers, and then build it" but I can't seem to understand the following:

1. why will those customers wait for your software?

2. what if you delay launching your software?

3. As a software dev, I've noticed that 90% of the product is built in 10% of the time. However, it's the final 10% that make/break it - how do you account for that (as you have already promised your future customers a product that you have yet to build) ?
That was similar to my thinking. I chuckled a bit when I saw so much of what I think folks would consider corporate tool-sets like VBA being used in the day compared to like Haskell (that I've never seen in the professional world but know several people that hack around in it) being written at night. Kind of a fun chart.
privileged containers are required for the GPU to be shared with the containers.

By default, the bundle come with a "auto" tag, which will activate privileged containers just when GPUs are detected.

You can enforce "false" to remove that, but then you won't be able to run GPU workloads.

Or you can enforce "yes" and have them activated all the time.

Does that answer the question? Not sure if I understood it right.

To make an artificial player for a simulated world we'd built was part of an assignment in Dr. Robert Harper's 15-212 class when I took it at CMU. On each tick of time, each of them would randomly do one of the things it could do. To see these characters randomly pick up change, put it into vending machines, and get out guns, ammo, and more of themselves, and then collectively gun me down, was a thrilling illustration of an AI control problem. I felt like a god being killed by his creations. Mindchildren?

One angle I didn't see covered - if home working works for you it becomes much more difficult for another company to poach you if they don't also offer home working, and so I can see that it might harm your career in terms of inertia. I work from home and I'd say I'd need to increase my salary by around 30% to justify a move taking into account commuting costs, 2.5 hours spent on the crappy train each day and the usual tax robbery..
working from home entails a personal responsibility for effectively scheduling your time. having a separate space from "normal" household activities can really help staying focused and avoiding overwork / burnout.

over time, the worst part of working from home is lack of eye contact. engaging with others outside of home can help, but there's still an awkward quality to getting to know people without seeing their reactions

I am an American citizen and work in the exact same field. I would describe the field as much larger than you believe it to be (but certainly still rather small) and have lost jobs in this area to H1Bs.

While I'm sure you are exceptionally talented, there's more to the story than "Americans just can't do the job!" The h1b narrative is exactly what you just described. I would say that your company has recruiting issues if you truly can't find qualified Americans to work on embedded security. (Is this a Big 4 company with a crazy hiring bar? That might make sense)

There's always more to the story.

This statement is true in the same way 'Anarcho-Communist' is. Care to guess how?
And also, languages with good documentation will be referred to less on SO.
I agree with you. But given the announcements own terminology, I think the misunderstanding is understandable.
So, let me sum up. If you don't actually do work while working from home and if you work for a company that doesn't know how/want to actually manage remote workers, then you might have a problem.
These anecdotes are always fun but do they really provide much insight into the role played by a union? I've never worked a union job but I have family that do (railroads in US) and while they complain about these kind of things and wish they didn't have to be in the union, when something bad happens the union is basically the only thing keeping them from getting canned for something not their fault. My cousin got hurt on the job because of another worker just making a mistake but he was going to get canned for it anyways. The union prevented it and saved his job (and healthcare etc). But at the same time there are a ton of anecdotes about similar silly-sounding situations, so where is the truth?

I feel like union bashing has just become part of our culture, just like complaining about state road crews (always 1 guy working and 5 guys standing around!) but the joke may be on us when we allow our infrastructure to be privatized and our unions to be killed and we realize that we work for the market, not the other way around.
I was a software engineer for 10 years (first 10 engs at LinkedIn -> first 10,000 at Google -> first 10 at Factual). After that I was about to start a company but fell into venture capital instead. Here are a few things I've learned about business from the VC side that I didn't appreciate very much when I was an engineer:

1) Customers don't care about the technologies you're using, the elegance of your XYZ algorithm, or the novelty of feature ABC. What they care about is solving some problem they have, making their day easier, becoming more productive, etc. When you're pitching your product, talk about how it helps the customer, not about how it's built. A great 5-minute video on this is "Understanding the Job" by Clayton Christensen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84LymEs67Y

2) Think about monetization early on. Like most engineers, I had dozens of side project and business ideas. For each idea, I had thought about the features I'd build and how I'd build them, but not the business viability: who would I sell to? What would the pricing model be? How much money would that translate to for a typical user? Would users have the work/personal budgets to pay what I wanted to charge? Was the price enough to cover marketing and user acquisition costs? I haven't read it, but have heard that a great book on this topic is Monetizing Innovation (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F4DYY1I). Another good book to think about business models is The Art of Profitability (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FA5TTM, brief notes: https://codingvc.com/the-art-of-profitability)

3) Finally, think about marketing and customer acquisition in parallel with product. After almost 5 years as a VC, I can readily confirm that most products don't sell themselves. Even the really good products need sales, marketing, etc. A great book to get started on marketing is Traction by Gabriel Weinberg (of DuckDuckGo) and Justin Mares (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TY3ZOMS/)

Show HN: A front end to 538's article on subreddit similarity
exactly this. I've been working from home for about 8 years now, and even those days when i don't have 100% concentration I'm still a lot more productive than in an office environment.

I've been offered and approached about multiple roles which have had a variety of nice bits about them, but having to commute for them ...costing me 4 hours of my time per day just doesn't make it make any sense.

I've turned down roles for twice my wage. Don't get me wrong i want a new challenge but i also love my free time. Getting to bed my 22:00 each night and setting my alarm for 06:00 is something i don't think i can tolerate.
It's not the distractions per se, it's the mental state.

Distractions exist at work too, but when everyone around you is working, you can't help but work as well.

When you're home, your mental state it's "I'm home, I should not be doing work". At least that's how it was for me.

I can be productive working on a personal project when I'm home, but that's because I can work on it whenever and however I want. I can work in bursts of energy. But that's not how professional work is done.

Understand that marketing is as important or more important than creating an elegantly coded product. You can have the most amazing product in the world but if no one knows about it or is sold on it, it will never go anywhere.

This can be any method of marketing you want, but you need it and it needs to be effective. The odds of being the exception that does not need it are low.

I tried to spell out why, but here you go, my personal experience is this out of order sorting meant that if I tried to post anything besides vapid updates few people saw them. If Facebook wanted to go from chronological to some other transparent metric, like hotness, I'd be more okay then whatever this is. The fact this is on the feed, my profile, and heck, even searching for events last I saw, is disturbing.

Also, sorted by date was great for many years when they initially got popularity. I (and others IIRC) were pretty unhappy when it changed to this.
