Hm. Maybe I'm nuts but I have literally no idea what desiring a private and quiet space for concentration does to ruin a persons ability to work as a teammate.

My coworkers love their noise canceling ear phones. That's great. What I'd love is to not hear their ratatat as they drum to their music.

And I do not fault them for that, because I love to ratatat to my own music when I'm listening to it as well.

A place to be myself while I work, what an odd concept.
I went to one such school. Our walls were made from blackboards and the teachers had installed nets to catch the occasional paper plane and flying pencils.
Some people don't like headphones on while working. Just give me a quiet room with a window.
"But I still find it interesting, that apparently this effect could explain an enormous amount of the obesity puzzle. If, hypothetically, humans wouldn't have changed the composition of their diet or calorie expenditure at all, but their bodies are tuned to maintain a fixed amount of nutritions, the small drop in nutrition content alone could apparently explain a worldwide increase in obesity."

This effect is easily explained by the "food pyramid" theory of nutrition, which emphasizes carbs as the major food source. It seems very clear that this is wrong, and the healthiest diet includes substantially more fat and protein. The other increasingly missing ingredient for a leaner population is called "exercise".
Exactly! This isn't something that could happen, this is something that absolutely WILL happen. And when it does, Google will have won yet another battle against the decentralized web.

To answer your questions, people are still on FB today because FB keeps buying its main compatitors buy offering up to 20 billion dollars per deal. WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.

How can you compete with that? Well, just say "no" like Snapchat did and cross your fingers because FB would litteraly copy/past your idea. They would use the couple of billions of dollars from your unsuccessful acquisition in order to hire an army of attorneys and to stop you from any legal action.

From another perspective, It's very hard to disrupt a social graph because it's very simple and pure. There's no need for it to be duplicated which is why FB keeps winning since they were the first who really created it. The rest is just about ads, billions of dollars, random features/startups and a lot of rich people. At the end of the day, the real value/data of FB is a very simple social graph.
In a larger project, communication and transparency are managed by moving people into rooms that are optimized for focused collaboration.

You don't put everybody in the same room so people have to expend energy to tune people out they're not collaboration with. It's silly.

Regularly schedule time to collaborate and do it in a focused way. A good work environment should provide places where you can collaborate and focus.
Who said it was without their knowledge? It was clearly stated in my TOS and I even sent a newsletter about it.

Also I had a (sort of) premium plan that allowed to pay a small fee (2€/month to remove the ads and get some extra featues. When I made the BTC mining experiment they still had the option to choose between the free plan (BTC mining) or paying 2€ to get it removed.

You misunderstand. In the analogy, I never bought a second hot dog. Likewise, all "commercial" users of Caddy had the EULA switched out from underneath them to force them into non-compliance.
Either "side office" is a weird word for "toilet stall" or your open office is fancier than many.
These are authoritarian fascist policies that are brazenly infringing on people's personal effects, content whether a diary, phone or laptop is your inviolable personal effect.

They can search the physical books and laptops all they want but not the content, that is crossing a huge red line that simply cannot be crossed in any free state and raises serious questions about our constitution, the rule of law and the court system.

When it comes to China or Russia we automatically presume the moral high ground to point fingers, but then do not detect the contradiction in this quiet acquiescence or being reduced to seeking workarounds in chrome books and such.

There is a dissonance of principles observed more in posturing and grandstanding that makes criticisms of other states not a commitment to principle but the worst kind of denial and jingoism.

It really is time to stop reacting and quietly reflect on what we have become. Are we simply a society of income and access to products with everything else open to expediency and pretension.
I get your argument entirely. Your argument doesn't hold water at all. Because it demands that every woman be more willing to work in a toxic, sexist work environment for lower money than a non-sexist work environment for more money. What are the odds of that exactly? If even a small percentage of women engineers are willing to move, then the one exception company will be loaded up with massively disproportionate amounts of women.
Yeah but how did he win so much?

"Anyone" can sideload applications on Android in the same way as "anyone" can change the drive belt on their own car. Your statement may be true in the literal sense of the word, but that that is not the standard by which antitrust is decided.

Microsoft was convicted on an antitrust charge, while "anyone" still could install Linux on their computer, or buy a Mac.
Unless it's a subclass (which would pass), I don't imagine that would be at all likely.

Never been much of a fan of duck typing. It only really makes sense when you have objects that approximate built in types.

Take a random object with a .run() method, for example, and you don't have a fucking clue what it might be doing so there's no point interpreting that as a quack.

I don't think it's generally about selfishly wanting alone time, it's understanding that a lot of people can be far more productive when they have some space and quiet to get work done, free of constant distractions. The more intense focus the work requires the more true this is. I would agree that it's not good for engineers to want alone time to the point where team communication significantly suffers, but a lot of open offices swing the balance too far in the other direction where it's hard to write code that requires you to carve out blocks of working memory in order to get things done. Also, I've yet to find noise cancelling headphones that are so effective that an open office wouldn't bother me at a all and I don't want have to listen to loud music to block out other noise - that's distracting in itself. That's not to mention visual distractions as well. I think ultimately there has to be a balance between space to focus and low barriers to communication, many companies handle this by letting people work from home, Apple I imagine has the budget to find an even better solution.

> The fossil fuels industry pays extremely high tax rates on their profits and has for decades (Exxon and Chevron typically average near 35%, among the highest corporate tax rates anywhere).

And yet they have still been doing more than fine for all these decades, they still do really good.

> modest subsidies the fossil fuel corporations have received

"Modest" is an odd word to use considering that subsidies come in more forms than straight up sending money to a company, companies can also be subsidized by taxing them less on certain behavior by weighting factors differently, like on long-term environmental impacts [0].

I've seen a way more detailed breakdown of this issue before in another study, but I just can't find it anymore.

That came from geekbench, and the geekbench folks have already said they can’t determine the MHz of an A11 yet.
I've always wondered about such schemes. The references at the end are welcomed.
It's a subsidy for all mortgages. More people would rent if not for this subsidy. Also any roady that connect your suburb to anywhere are heavily subsidized, to the tune of greater than 60%. If your suburb build its sewers with bonds, they too end up receiving various forms of subsidy. It would be truly unique in the whole of the US if your community's property taxes covered the full cost of local services and weren't partially covered from the state's general fund.

Pffft. They're doing it to hurt their enemies, not to help their customers.

Apple is the worst company for those who love freedom and they're not on your side. I can't wait until their time is over and the damage that they have done to our industry has been reversed.
Yup that's what I think too. Guy has a thing for lottery tickets as income.

Covered his tracks by keeping thousands and thousands of non-winning tickets that he probably bought bulk for pennies per box.

Feds show up and see the boxes and say "shit, this guy must have really bought 300 million bucks worth of lottery tickets!" and walk away.

Pretty bad investigstion lol
if you can make people receive malicious JS, you've already got your attack vector

No, because a malicious JS file by itself can't do much. The attack vector is the malicious JS running on the new site, with permissions to steal session cookies and interact with the application. That's why caching without verification is important: to make sure the browser uses the cached malicious JS instead of fetching the new one.
You sound as if people who consciously set an immutable header, or set cache expiration time header to 5 years, do not know what they are doing.

Should we optimize the web for clueless server operators?
Which shows how bad the analogy is.

You weren't "forced into non-compliance", you could keep your hot dog (=caddy executable you downloaded before) just fine.

The difference between hot dogs and software is that hot dogs don't get (and don't require) updates after the fact, while for software they are important.

EDIT: also, you don't accidentally install new hot dogs through dockerfiles or something - it's quite possible people ran into non-compliance that way, given there was no prior warning.

You're confusing things. JSON is in fact much less complex than XML. Any CS freshman can write a complete JSON parser in a couple of days, which is entirely inconceivable with XML. What people do with JSON documents is an entirely different problem.
I just saw that sites like TechCrunch are built using WordPress. If one of the top 1000 visited sites in the world can use WP, its likely that it is able to serve a large number of people.
Yes, although an immutable guarantee makes it more likely that the browser won't check for a new version.

I don't understand why more companies don't copy university libraries and create a mix of spaces for different tasks. Sometimes you want small collaborative rooms, sometimes you want a quiet cubicle.
I agree with you, but I don't think that's what the author's point was.

You'll still probably carry your iPhone with you, but it'll probably stay in your pocket or bag more often than not. And you're right, the Apple Watch will never replace the functions you cited.

I've been using smartphones for years, and I'm definitely someone that's very tied to e-mails and phone calls. Yet I'd rather remove the distraction. I don't need to be 100% available all day, everyday.

The Watch will let me respond to e-mails, messages, and phone calls without pulling out my phone. If it's something more involved, I can pull out my phone. Beyond that, I can wait until I get back to my desk.

The Watch + AirPods won't completely replace the iPhone, it will complement it. Just like the iPad and MacBook does. None of those verticals are particularly large for Apple, and will never touch the iPhone. They simply mop up the periphery users like me that will actually use it. Everyone else is perfectly served by the iPhone.
I know this may sound like a poor substitute to private corporate space, but I can't praise enough the combination of noise reducing earplugs and active noise cancelling over earphones.

Would you elaborate on the issue? JavaScript actually does have a type system, it's just not very transparent. Using triple equals will not coerce types when comparing, whereas double equals will.

What you are looking at is called JSX[1]. It's not valid JavaScript, but is turned into function calls by transpilers such as Babel[2]. It's used as a more HTML-like syntax of writing function calls that output a representation of the DOM known as a "virtual DOM". You can embed JavaScript inside of JSX by using single curlies.

Disclaimer: I'll tell you how it is in my case, so it may not reflect the feelings of other open-plan-haters.

It's not about wanting to "be able to produce more for my corporate overlord". It's precisely about preserving sanity. I simply can't focus well with people around me - not just when they're talking (in an open plan, at any given point in time, there is someone that has something interesting to say). The very presence of other people next to me is stressful to me, especially if they're paying attention to me and are within visual range of me. That stress destroys my focus, which leads to lack of productivity, which leads to more stress - a "vicious cycle".

When I can ensure that nobody can walk behind my back, I can survive an open-plan office with just headphones and loud music (to cut off audio distractions). Still, in some cases, the very presence of other people in the same room will make me unable to concentrate hard enough to solve some tough problems - at which point I'll either go to the conference room, do the work out of office, or just come in late so that I get ~2 - 3 hours alone in the room in the evening.

Some time ago I managed to persuade my employer to give me 2 days/week of working from home; this alone did wonders to my sanity. 3 days between people is just about enough direct human interaction for me. 5 days tends to take a toll on my psyche.

And again, it's not about productivity for the sake of pleasing the boss. It's just that I feel really bad when I feel I'm continuously underperforming (compared to my performance in proper conditions, i.e. not having other people around).
Want to have as if by magic HN flip on this topic?

I'd like Excel to have built-in .net scripting support. Imagine being able to code excel macros in F#.
I can't stand wearing earplugs or headphones over a long time. I wish I could but it bothers me too much.
It's called JSX. I used it in the example because it's popular among the JavaScript crowd, popularized by React.

That code is not directly consumed by the browser, instead, it's compiled into the code below by a compiler like Babel, minified and bundled into a tiny blob of code we ship to the browser.

app({
state: {
count: 0
},
view: (state, actions) =>
h("main", {}, [
h("h1", {}, [state.count]),
h("button", { onclick: actions.down }, "-"),
h("button", { onclick: actions.up }, "+"),
]),
actions: {
down: state => ({ count: state.count - 1 }),
up: state => ({ count: state.count + 1 })
}
})

So, I used JSX for "familiarity", but you don't need to use it to build your own apps. You can just write the code shown in the snippet above and you'd do just as well. You can also minimize and bundle your code to tap into the JavaScript ecosystem, code using a modular style and still not have to use JSX at all.

Hope that helps :)
This would probably be ok for smaller projects. My current codebase takes an hour and a half to build, so a rebase to master will involve anywhere from 10 to 100 rebuilds (1-10 days worth), not to mention the whole process stopping on each merge conflict, which will stretch out the rebase time even more as Murphy's Law will place every conflict outside of working hours.

Just do what Amazon is doing, and build another one. Not enough room? Erect another skyscraper.

And another one. Then a third.

And then when you start facing the prospect of your employees getting lynched by locals who are furious about their rent, ask some other cities if they might have room.

My prediction for the future: Amazon's internal transfer process is extremely smooth. Seattle is not gonna weather the opening of this second HQ well, once it gets up and running. But the point is, you gotta keep moving forwards - it's always day 1, right?
