Microsoftie here. I haven't seen any indication for it to be due to employee demand. The vast majority of engineers on my team, and my last N teams, have agreed it was top down from leadership; and even those that preferred open offices agreed that cost cutting and space utilization are likely driving factors.

To contribute to the broader discussion; SOME teams here still have offices, but it's a dying breed. I consider myself very lucky that I found one that did, and it was certainly a factor in my choice.
> hes in a super politicially correct area where making nuanced points isnt tolerated

This is popular to say, and there certainly are some knee jerk reactions. But my experience has been that most people are quite willing to discuss nuanced points about this topic, and most topics.

What's not tolerated is more specific: a lack of emotional nuance and an insistence that scientific truth is the only possible truth. As if emotions aren't a huge and valid part of human experience.
Or because they are more interested in theoretical application rather than practical application. PhDs are where you explore questions that have unknown market value.

This is often interpreted as, "you can't hack it in the real world, so you hide in academia," and in some cases that is true. But really it has more to do with what problems you are interested in solving/exploring.
As another interesting aside on these gears -- besides the very cool materials in these particular gears, the technology behind "strain-wave" / "harmonic drive" gears used in a lot of precision robots is very very cool. Parts of the gear set are actually flexible yet you get very smooth* motion with negligible backlash out of them!

(EDIT: We commented at same time, so see also olivierlacan's commented video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzRh672peNk )

* - (Compared to more typical gears, and the cogging you get out of them. There are other issues with these gears the controls guys have to deal with when you start going for really high precision motion, but I don't want to seem like I'm knocking them as they do solve a lot of problems in a really clever way!)

There's an irony to the downvotes in this thread. People are outraged that this guy was harassed for expressing his opinion and then downvoting anyone here who expresses an opinion they don't like.

Are people so afraid of having a discussion with opposing views that they shut down any conversation they don't like with downvotes. If you disagree say why and give the person a chance to respond.
Seems to have saner handling of saved/loaded profiles and color schemes. Also the session switcher seems nice.
I disagree by agreeing, sort of. Geekspace is alienating, but with some notable exceptions I don't believe it's on purpose. I know loads of amazing girl geeks (we are mighty), and my anecdotal observations suggest that there might be a higher geek-to-normy ratio among people of color than there is among whites. And yet, we tend to go play among ourselves, because the white male geeks can get all weird when we try to play with them.

Not always. Not everyone. Just sometimes. Mostly not on purpose, and mostly because they don't have any practice playing with girls or people of color in the geekspace. Enough that it's not always worth doing the work of making the white male geeks be used to having girls and people of color around because we just want to go play our geeky reindeer games.
I don't think you should take all your vacations as working, but if you have a limited amount of vacation time and want to take a trip to see family or whatnot, a working vacation can be helpful.

But I agree, time off the grid is important and at least some of your vacation days should be non working.
I've never had this trouble with Apple chargers. I've also heard good reports of Anker products, but never tried them myself.

In extremis, you can open up a charger and pot the coils yourself with hot glue, epoxy, or some other nonconductive polymer. Just be sure to disconnect it from power first, lest you inadvertently get your own batteries charged.

No it was a hard engineering challenge. But it solved a very specific problem that has no relevance to most business use-cases.

What's your main differentiation from a service like Pocket?
Can you explain why hiring women who are just as good as, if not better than, men at the job, but who would prefer (on average) to work elsewhere, perhaps somewhere with more women employees, would make the business do worse?

In the section you quoted, he doesn't say that hiring more women is bad for business, he said that doing so via discriminatory hiring practices, and if you hadn't ellipsized that line, there would have been an explanation for why right there. The full bullet point reads "Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business." So he says that unequal representation is partially explained by gender differences in interests, and then that trying to eliminate the differences, specifically via the method of discriminatory hiring, is bad for business because it's unfair and divisive.

To be clear, the reason I'm interpreting the "differences" he refers to as differences in interest as opposed to competence is because of the content in the "Personality differences" section of the memo, which is the only place he addresses specific gender differences. In that section he says that women are less interested on average in tasks which focus mainly on systemizing, and are less interested in high-stress jobs, as well as that they are less likely to advocate for their own promotions.

I replied to someone saying "he didn't say that", suggested a place where he did

No, you replied to someone saying "he didn't say that" and suggested a place where he said something ambiguous — the tl;dr, which is necessarily ambiguous.

So it appears at the very least (and I feel I'm being generous here), that his words can be misread by people on both sides of the issue

Sure, it wouldn't make sense that this would be intentional - it's more likely that the ultrasound (if it's the cause) would be used for something else, e.g. exfiltrating information out of a secure room or as part of some kind of eavesdropping system.
For a manufacturer it's not as cut-and-dry. The damage caused is a factor of the level (dB) received combined with the length of exposure. Assumptions will have to be made as to how far away the user will be from the device and how long they can reasonably be expected to be exposed.

For example, if you assume that someone will be under it for 8 hours (an employee during a work day), the OSHA approved exposure is 90dB, which will likely not be annoying enough to serve its purpose.
Same thing happened to me in multiple projects on multiple machines. Weird how that seems so common and still made it into v5.

"I doubt you're going to be rolling around with a solar-powered weed-eater to do your yardwork"

They already have electric weed-eaters. I can easily imagine those engines having a battery, complete with a solar powered charger, likely with an option for direct power. If your house power is solar as well, it still works.

I don't think this stuff is hard to imagine.

Large earth movers are a different beast, simply because of the heavy load. I predict these will be much further off. But so long as they have enough power, I don't see the issue with them being electric at some point.

>I'd be curious to know if there's a verifiable correlation between brightness levels and how loud people tend to talk. There's something about a dim room that seems to induce people to lower their voices.

Almost every open office I've worked in has been super loud and disruptive, but one of them that happened to have high ceilings and very soft, warm lighting turned and turned out to be the fantastic. Something about the space gave the room a kind of library-style hush, which I think helped create a feedback loop compelling people to speak quietly and move longer conversations into closed rooms.

I think there's also an element to establishing the culture of how you interact in the open space early on, I think even with the hushed atmosphere of the room itself, it only worked because people had been talking quietly and taking louder conversations into private rooms for as long as they'd been working in the space. Pulling back from a culture of having a boisterous open space to a quiet one is, I think, much harder than doing it from the get-go.
That's an interesting idea - interesting enough that it would be fun to at least throw together a little proof-of-concept...
If your work is classified you almost certainly get an office.
Agreed slack can be a disturbance, but seems like the issue might be management expectations, not what the preferred method for interrupting you is :)

More about single-serving sites:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-serving_site

> A single-serving site (SSS) is a website composed of a single page with a dedicated domain name and serves only one purpose. The term was originally coined by Jason Kottke in February 2008, although single-serving sites have existed since the dawn of the internet.

And Purple.com specifically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple.com

> According to the creator, software engineer Jeff Abrahamson, the site originated from the difficult process of accessing and surfing the internet in its early days, similar to most early single-serving sites.

> The site was launched on 31 August 1994. From its launch to late 2006 the background colour was #DD00FF, resulting in numerous complaints that it was not actually purple. It was changed to #7D26CD on 6 November 2006 based on recommendations.

Yea, before that, everything was roses. After that, I was initially told that I would be fired if I didn't move on site (I was given a few location choices).

I said "no", got a new job lined up, and then about 4 months later, they decided not to fire me (they apparently did let go of some people, I was an exception).

I don't recall the exact phrasing, but it was at least hinted that I shouldn't expect a promotion. I never received any of it in writing, it was all phone calls from the start.

I did get a 5% raise a few months later, though.
>> "If marijuana use is implicated in cardiovascular diseases and deaths, then it rests on the health community and policy makers to protect the public."

Also a 1200 person study isn't really enough to draw any major conclusions from.

Of course ingesting anything substance of any kind frequently over a period of time is bound to be harmful to some degree. What we need is context and not one-off sensationalist studies that are used as propaganda fodder on either side of the debate.
We already subsidize roads over public transportation so the subsidies to the wealthy are already there. We're just attempting to internalize externalities of a resource with physical limits.

That doesn't seem physically possible since it's based on sound pressure waves.. From your link, mk1 uses 85 db set volume; mk2 uses ambient noise level + 5db.
but you need to do it properly: work-space/office physically separated from the living space (especially when you have a family), well-defined work hours (and free time that's really free) and at least some level of self-discipline...
We have electric cars now, and we had plenty of ways to make public transport electric in the past without significantly reducing its flexibility - this makes me think it's not about lack of alternatives, but something else. My first suspicion is that fossil fuel transportation is still cheaper. Hopefully this will change soon.
As someone who's worked in that space, I'll repost the short version of a comment I made before: it's an economics problem.

Services Profit = Bid - Employee Cost + Upsales

Bids are only so flexible. Employee cost is much easier to minimize. So inevitably, all consultancies trend towards providing the cheapest employees that will satisfy the customer. And if the customer isn't constantly vigilant, the quality can get pretty dire indeed (BAs who just learned to "code" yesterday).
I worry that self-driving cars are going to be used as an excuse not to expand public transit, especially in the Bay Area. The problem is scale -- once the population reaches a certain size, the roads are going to be gridlocked even if every car is self driving. I'm not sure if the Bay Area is at that point yet, but NYC certainly is, as are most of the major cities of the world.
Does it have backscroll yet? Without that it's kind of the wrong way around in what features it lacks.

People who want to run their terminals in i3 also don't want tabs or splits, but they do need scroll or else they have to duplicate effort on both sides just to get scrolling.
Ok, where is the intimidation or harassment? He expressed unpopular opinion and unenlightened points of view but is there harassment?

In another comment, you say it's the mention that women tend to have on average more neuroticism although you seem to acknowledge in that comment that it has basis in research [1]. If, as you say, it's a fact, then how can it be harassment?

You cannot have reasonable discussions, if you dismiss what you consider to be true facts because you consider them to be harassment. There could be factors that could cause a statistical difference between genders due to physiology or due to culture (I disagree with the memo's author in his dismissal of cultural and parenting influences on gender behaviors) and any discussion of diversity would need to take those into account.

Now, the author claims that his memo had notes to supporting evidence but the leaked copies do not have that.

[1] For the record, I haven't found the research on that and I'm rather skeptical of that result.
Plus the noise! It can be hard to have a conversation with someone next to you while walking down a busy street. Switching to EVs will really help make cities quieter as well.

Personalized medicine is great if you want to charge people a lot of money for marginal results, or if you are in the sciences and your goal is full understanding of everything in human biochemistry.

But all the real, meaningful goals in medicine are basically the same for everyone, barring the very, very tiny number of people with serious genetic abnormalities. And even in their small genetically abnormal groups, the reason for their issues are the same for everyone with the same specific mutation.

99.99% of the population ages and suffers age-related disease for exactly same underlying reasons. The molecular damage is exactly the same. Ditto the pathogens that cause infectious disease. You tailor medicine to the pathogens, to the molecular damage, to the mutated gene in an inherited condition, not to the person. Rejecting personalized medicine is the most cost-effective way to proceed towards mass-manufactured, low-cost, effective medicine.

Fix the inherited diseases with gene therapy. Repair the molecular damage that causes aging. Build the technologies that effectively destroy pathogens. Don't focus on the tiny variations in individual responses to these things before you try to actually address the root of the problem. This is my complaint about personalized medicine in a nutshell: it is displacement activity, distracting from paths that will be far, far more effective in improving health and addressing medical conditions.
