Pretty weird thing to say, and it signals that your organization design is incorrect.

What you should have in place is:

1) A department solely dedicated to product design, development and management

2) A department dedicated to offline and online marketing. This includes people who are able to create marketing assets including web developers, content designers and even video editors (e.g. for creating content for TV or YouTube)

Because what you mean with "slave" is that the people running your marketing department currently seem dependent on the people working on your product who have ZERO time to put into marketing efforts because their schedules are filled to the brink with product work, which is not really strange

What is strange however is that you created this dependency which seems to completely destroy your ability to do digital marketing.

So hire yourself a small team to help your marketing department out with all things they are incapable to do. Right now I'm thinking about the following roles: a designer (which hopefully can double as a frontend developer), a front developer (in case the forementioned designer only can design -- yes they still exist), a developer with knowledge of the CMS system you are using and someone who is able to keep your marketing related systems up and running (this could also be the forementioned developer). Let them report to your head of marketing, let them work solely on marketing related taks and your problem is solved.

Actually some would prefer no agent buyers due to contract arrangement.

For example, the buyer and seller will split commission but in some cases one side can collect all of it.
I'm very unimpressed with the US justice system and agree with a lot of what you say.

But does this really explain a massively disproportionate homicide rate among certain groups in the US? Sure for lesser or non-crimes like drugs there can be massively unfair, racist enforcement and penalties. For rape, sure, certain groups will get away with it. But for homicide? Are murders being selectively investigated?

As far as Norway and "blah blah homogenous society" do they not also show a heavy bias in crimes committed by the "non homogenous" population there?

Ask HN: Can remote workers be more than just individual contributors?
I know from my own experience that remote work is a great fit for people who largely work independently or in collaboration with a small number of team members.

But what about when it comes to leading teams, or departments, or whole companies? I'd like to hear from people who have done that successfully as remote workers, either with a fully remote or mixed workforce. What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?
it's trash. plain and simple.
We are a messaging application, so every chat message is stored in DynamoDB in an ordered stream. We frequently fetch slices of a stream, so the granularity of storage is a single message.

S3 does not do well (cost wise) with billions of files. Provisioning 1000 Write IOPS on Dynamo costs around $100/month. That's 2.5B writes. On S3 that's going to be on the order of $10k. Similarly 1000 Read IOPS on Dynamo is ~$20/month vs 2.5B reads on s3 costing $1000. Storage is cheaper on S3 by about 10x, but per TB that comes out to $250 vs $25, which is hardly a dominating cost factor.
I prefer remote contracting. It’s great. More money, a lot of exposure to different tech and ways of doing things (and ways to not do things.)

As far as benefits, there are few benefits that are worth having a lower salary. Pension, retirement, all that nonsense – a waste of money – create your own retirement investments with the increased money you make. I’d rather money go into my pocket directly than to some benefit system that necessarily results in some amount of dead-weight loss.

65 per hour gross as a full timer versus 100 per hour gross as a contractor. 35 per hour is like an additional salary.

But, it does take discipline and being extremely organized so it’s not for everyone.
If you shake loose the norms of a 40 hour work week, you have an awful lot of reconciliation to deal with...."

Yes agreed.

The point is that people should be given roles and responsibilities commensurate with their personality type and then given the flexibility to execute their job as they see fit.

There's no reason to use a blockchain within a single entity. Use a database for that.

Private blockchains do appear to be useful among a consortium of companies who don't completely trust each other, and don't want to pay a single company to maintain a central database.

99/100 people won't have been there or seen something about it recently, and so they won't connect over it. That section came off as cringey to me -- it screamed "poor culture fit with overly chummy foreigner who doesn't understand what job-hunting communications in the US look like" (no offense). You don't start off a job hunt by bragging up the beauty of your native land. It's just weird and irrelevant.

What works to get my attention in the first paragraph of a cover letter would be any of the following:

1. Past employment at a well-known high quality employer (e.g. the Big 4).

2. Substantial contributions to important open source projects, ideally ones that I've heard about.

3. A history of high performance at previous employers, e.g. you've been promoted to tech lead and/or brought on at senior level.

> the point of productivity inflection is just about 40 hours per week

To me, that does seem to support the claim “research shows that 40 hours per week is the best”. I don't know who's claiming that overall output goes down the minute you hit 40, that's obviously exaggerated, so why take it so seriously? There's strong evidence that productivity starts to decline somewhere around 40ish, and it obviously varies by individual and situation.

I think the more common, and more correct claim is that 40-ish is optimal, rather than anything above 40 is a negative return.

That bit of data he referenced is for munitions workers doing a low-skill monotonous job - easy to measure productivity. Who would expect to produce solid high quality thought output for 40 or 50 hours a week? I'd be surprised if most academics & programers managed more than 15 hours of conceptual work in a week, the rest we fill with coffee & lunch, browsing the web, talking to people, and loads of other stuff that doesn't require much thinking.

The author's completely right about many of his points; this just isn't clearly defined or unambiguously supported by data. There are obviously some people out there rationalizing and mis-presenting the evidence in favor of a 40 hour work week. As with all studies, there are people who summarize incorrectly and decide that weak evidence justifies a hard line decision. But why get twisted over the worst arguments? Let's discuss the strongest arguments instead.

Do we need data to support the idea that 8 hours is enough? Productivity is only a tiny part of the equation, so this debate is academic. Why are we obsessing over unmeasurable productivity and ignoring labor & poverty issues? Do you need data to prove that when you work 12 hours a day, you physically can't have much life outside of work? The idea of an 8 hour work day is meant to work for everyone. It's guaranteed to be conservative, because it has to be good enough for teenagers as well as people near retirement, for single people as well as parents, for everyone.

Devil's advocate from the other side: commercial farming and animal slaughter is a messy, ugly business to a lot of people. You could easily film an ethical operation and edit in such a way that people are shocked (shocked!!) that their steaks had eyes and felt pain.

So even without "human health and safety concerns", there are valid reasons for not showing graphic details.

That said, I absolutely think enforcing ethical animal treatment through public pressure on factory farming trumps right-not-to-know.
The object element in HTML 4 had some attributes that were pretty ActiveX-specific in practice, so in large part Microsoft got the HTML integration bits for ActiveX into the standard.
I didn't downvote, will probably be downvoted, but as someone who is atheist/nihilist/suicidal, I don't understand the great value placed on human life. We slaughter animals, we put down dogs which bite, I see no reason not to put down humans who have malfunctioned. All while being generally left wing. I think suffering should be an active goal, but I don't believe execution is suffering. There's enough effort to focus on progressing those who do buy into constructivism; those who don't wish to participate should exile themselves from society rather than lash out in deconstructivism

This logic likely exists in a watered down form amongst the HN crowd more than Human Rights groups

I keep things as lazy as possible, and just stream my entire desktop (with slight crop) instead of a specific window. I have my browser window lined up and positioned on the left so the webcam doesn't cover up anything. I then can just CMD-tab to it quickly.

Trespassing is a criminal offense in the same vein as breaking and entering.
This is not true. From a legal standpoint, there are various interlocking justifications - retribution, punishment, rehabilitation and deterrence.

We absolutely punish people "because it makes us feel good". That is one explicit goal of legal theories of punishment - retribution is about replacing revenge, so that the state serves as a proxy for our monkey-needs for revenge.

In the U.S., things are very much tilted towards making people convicted of wrongdoing suffer. Granted, not as much as some places, but that's hardly anything to be proud of.

> Ignore it and move on. Block the user from your personal feed if you want.

That doesn't address the questions:

1. How can you ignore something which is causing you or someone you care about harm? Will you operate a node which keeps that content available against the wishes of the target? (For that matter, how many people will use a network which prevents you from removing mistakes?)

2. You can't just ignore things with legal implications — e.g. if someone uploads legally restricted content, everyone participating in the network has to expect legal consequences even if they personally aren't troubled by it. If you're in Germany and someone else can get Nazi content from your system, do you really think “I didn't upload it and there's no way to block it” is going to lead to a court reaction other than an order to turn it off until the underlying technology is fixed?

3. Ignoring that many places do block BitTorrent, it's different in the key aspect that torrents are independent. Someone who hosts Linux ISOs doesn't have to worry about getting sued because a different user is distributing copyrighted movies. That doesn't seem to fit with a blockchain model and it seems like a major problem growing a social network beyond the immediate founders if everyone has to find a private cluster to join.

Real estate agents as a model needs to go however for some folks, it's pretty good if they get a good salesman or buyer agent. I've dealt with a house dumper which is a nightmare as a seller but the best deal in town for a buyer(10-20% below market).

Before the internet, real estate agents were useful or needed so older folks are really hesitant to do for sale by owner.

Yet it is interesting that the undercover Planned Parenthood video guys where prosecuted. I am curious if the same sort of activists that applaud this decision also support anti-Planned Parenthood filmers.

> Beyond that, I'm trying to figure out what it's like to work with you, whether you're an ethical person, whether you can work independently, etc.

Good point, you are right. I still believe what OP had in his cover letter was unnecessary but it would not be a deal breaker for me. Honestly, if he got rid of the paragraph about his hobbies and the sentence about where he lives, it's pretty good aside from some generic phrases ("I like clean code" - who doesn't?).
This is a nice idea, but it's inaccurate.

I sat in a court room during sentencing of a young man for a federal drug offense. He had prior drug offenses. No violent crimes. Right before he got clean, a friend asked him to mail him some drugs. The amount was just enough to qualify as intent to distribute. Mailingnacross state lines made it federal. The friend had been arrested and was given leniency in exchange for turning in someone else.

I knew the young man being sentenced. It took two years for him to be picked up. In the two years he had gotten clean, and started a small business that was growing. He had NA spnosors saying he never missed a meeting, drug tests over previous two years showing he was clean, a stack of letters vouching for his current character, and a dozen people in the courtroom who were there for support. He was also given the option of turning someone in, but since he had been clean for 2 years, he didn't know anyone.

The judge said that while rehabilitation was part of sentencing, the primary reason for sentencing was for punishment; To set an example and deter future crimes by both the convicted and people in the community.

He got 7 years in a federal prison.
Growing up (Generation Commodore 64, later having an Amiga) taught me enough computing lingo that I one day started to read English books. Because at some point the really interesting books didn't have German translations anymore.

So there I was struggling with my English, always being happy when there were enough technical terms which I understood. (And worst thing of all - English speaking authors dare to use puns and humour in technical books. Which I didn't understand, because of the vocabulary and because we Germans would never do anything like this, we're much too serious for that.)
Any creative work does not follow a timeline. Butt in the seat means nothing. In fact, the opposite -- the more relaxed and freeing the structure of work, the better the output.

> put down humans who have malfunctioned

What about the ones that have not, but are put down due to a malfunctioning justice system instead?
It's actually flawed because there are other things that need to be done in a week besides work, recreation, and rest. For example:

- eating: 12-15 hours/week

- making food (or travelling to get food): 7-10 hours/week

- showering, shaving, grooming: 4-7 hours/week

- laundry, cleaning, house chores: 2-4 hours/week

- commuting: 5-10 hours/week

- waiting in line (checkout lines, customer service reps, Comcast/DMV/insurance, etc.): 2-3 hours/week

And that's for me, and I'm single. If I had children, add to that:

- taking care of children: 15-20 hours/week

None of the above counts as work, rest, or recreation. If work stays at 8 hours, that leaves very little time for rest and recreation.

Cutting rest beyond that is physically unhealthy.

Cutting recreation beyond that is both mentally unhealthy AND physically unhealthy (I get all my exercise in my recreation time).
