In the end, setting aside the distortions caused by minimum wage laws, companies pay for the value they receive from their employees. How you want to apportion that value (hours, widgets, hours [including commuting hours], flexible work arrangements, paid time off, company holidays, etc) doesn't matter much.

As an employer, I'm indifferent between paying someone $50/hour for an 8-hour work day, or $40/hr for an 8-hour workday plus 2 hours of paid commuting.
is it documented somewhere or you just analyzed your browser requests?

I think a good solution to this is to just mix it up. At my place we have a policy of working from home on Fridays and coming in the rest of the week. We get to have a day of not commuting, working in our pajamas, and still have plenty of time to be physically present in the office. As an added benefit, the workweek feels shorter.

This, I think is the most ridiculous thing about the bay area. Everyone is spooked about 'Manhattanization' and development like NYC is some ghetto where no one wants to live.

Heck, San Francisco has 20% more land area than Paris with only 40% of the population. What is with the terror SF residents have around increasing population density?
The irony of this being is that it sucks bad enough still that I'm using Virtualbox + vagrant on my windows desktop.

Windows is a window manager for Chrome, vagrant/vbox, putty. I even use OWA for outlook on windows.
Actually it's not trivial to change server APIs because they don't fully control all the clients (not even all officially supported ones).
For example: push notifications are supposed to work without setting up a Google account (if you use a certain Android version). But if you don't log in to your Google account, you're not receiving updates through Play Store, and thus Google can't update the client. Google breaking their claim will upset some of their users (probably not the typical smartphone users, but think of entertainment systems based on Android for example).

Also note that most Google ToS don't specifically forbid third party usage (and some also specifically allow them), the only thing that's forbidden is to misuse APIs in a harmful way. Just another example would be the login/account management part of microG, that uses the publicly described OAuth APIs, obviously intended for third-party use.
American democratic socialists like Sanders aren't far left, and are really more social democrats than “literal socialists”. (Sure, DSA is part of international socialist fora, but so is the UK Labour Party, and no one sane is calling Labour “far left” either.)

Someone, therefore, from the moderate left getting a sizable minority of votes within the left-most party of a two-party system where the most votes in that party went to a center-right neoliberal is not evidence of the far left having much (or any) influence, especially when it's the best anyone not from the center-right has done in that party for at least a quarter century.
I too have both in office and remote and I agree with all your points regarding working from home.

However I must confess that the downsides of working from the office majority outweighs the other.

I can no longer focus. I am constantly pulled into meetings. I have 120 minutes of commute everyday.

When I get home I am too tired and can no longer spend quality time with my partner like I did when I was working from home. And above all my sleeping schedule has to fit the 9-5 schedule and it is very hard to adjust.

I also have to deal with the heavy Canadian storms during winter.

In the future I'm choosing remote work at a heartbeat and might even consider a salary cut to get it.

YMMV.
I bought a Lenovo Miix 320 netbook with Windows 10 that cannot run Ubuntu (which would be my preference, but I pretty much only need Emacs). It's no doubt the worst computer I ever had, counting even ZX Spectrum+.

Part of the reason is very bad design of the case, but also the terrible UX of Windows 10 compared to Ubuntu. I think most Windows users would be amazed if they tried Ubuntu.

Windows 10 shows significant signs of software senility, which inevitably follows maturity.
>Nothing about Communism as a concept requires massacring people.

It requires either jailing or massacring people who own any property and don't want to give it up, and any people who choose to exchange goods and services with each other.
Maybe I'm confused, by Xamarin.Mac do you mean Visual Studio for Mac?
It is puzzling that anyone thinks that Apple would introduce a security system so flawed that a mask could unlock a phone. Good on them for trying, but I imagine that for now it is a fools errand to try and beat Apple's Face ID with relatively primative methods.
Seems to me that this has a pretty intimate relation to the question of the "nature of the firm."

Why do we work in firms rather than as independent contractors making contracts with each other?

Why do we gather in rooms every day instead of working independently and emailing each other with low frequency asynchronous requests?

I don't really understand firms, to be honest...

I suspect it has way more to do with instinctual tribalism than any other rationalization.
Although I think ship control can definitely be made more user-friendly, what you are asking for is of similar complexity as a self-driving car.

>>> The brass hated it. The person in the pilot's seat was really the one in charge. The officers were just back-seat drivers.

Which is why pilots in modern air forces are officers. It isn't about guarding traditions. It's about the level of training and responsibility needed when navigating a vessel. The Albacore operated in a totally different environment. Its "pilot" wasn't navigating in a busy shipping channel and could turn on a dime. The reason that the watch officer doesn't operate the control is because that frees him/her to concentrate on actual navigation, the forward thinking needed when operating a huge object that cannot turn on a dime. Civilian vessels at sea are going from A to B. For a military vessel (ship or aircraft) the A->B navigation is one of many different missions going on simultaneously. That's why they need more heads making decisions.

" ... did not have the right type of watch on duty for navigation in congested waters ... "and neither attempted to make contact through Bridge to Bridge communications."

The system did not fail. The system wasn't implemented. UI issues were secondary to the fact that this was an undermanned ship with an unconfident crew.
In a way, the same problem exists with Bitcoin where the supply is basically a fixed quantity that expands at less than 1% a year while the number of those wanting to speculate in it, expands like a pyroclastic eruption. This drives the price ever higher, increasing volatility and making it even less likely that anyone would adopt it for normal transaction activity. The participant speculators smack their lips while they drive their protege currency further and further away from it’s intended purpose. The same thing happens in conventional Mining stock promotion, the price of the stock becomes the material and tangible nature of the enterprise while the plans, potential and possibilities of the ore body, the very thing that speculators should be considering, become more and more amorphous and immaterial. In simple terms, the cart is before the horse.
And again, what the parent says in untrue. You can sign documents with your phone and still take part of the expiring public tender he describes.
Not being effective enough is what puts you at risk of being dispensable.

Being remote might contribute to, or increase the risk of, not being effective, but it's not the most proximate cause.
I would never give up commuting for remote work to be honest. Having a clear, single place where you 'work' is important. When you leave work, it can leave your mind completely until you come back. There's no finishing something up in the home office after dinner, no work calls or texts or emails. You just go home and relax.
The writing part isn't really the main benefit of whiteboarding. Standing there, pointing at things and chatting about it is a really big part. Then there's the physical size. Quite often I find it much nicer to stand in front of a board and draw on a large scale. The current attempts at remote whiteboards are really not suitable replacements.

VR would a giant help as body language, gesturing and physical size all become much easier to see. Of course, that would require quite a leap forward in VR to accomplish that level of avatar.

And there are many more examples even though it is obvious that startups are generally not scams.
It's a bit dated to characterize modern systematics as chiefly a battle between lumpers and splitters; the structures and schema being argued over are different in character from those that preoccupied Victorian naturalists.

For some groups of extant organisms, there are still competing species concepts in operation, extensive genetic sampling is not always performed (although it was in this orangutan study), and other sources of evidence are relied upon. Also, our existing Codes of Nomenclature technically permit the kind of "taxonomic vandalism" practiced by rogue taxonomists like Raymond Hoser.

In these cases (I can think of examples in many groups in all the eukaryote kingdoms) you get more lumpy and more splitty approaches (an oversimplification that pained me to type). And you certainly get that when it comes to higher-than-species-level taxa. So it's just not true to say that basically everyone is now a splitter.

In phylogenetic terms, a species concept is supposed to define an independently evolving genetic cluster. These things exist in reality - we don't observe a continuum of extant forms in nature - and the quest to delineate these clusters objectively has necessarily become a statistical quest. As much as possible we want to map classification to real units of diversity.

In the case of us mammals there's a broad consensus on long-established criteria for performing this mapping, although individual cases are not always without contention. But the idea that modern biology fails, for ideological reasons, to correctly split classification into further species in the singular case of Homo sapiens, is silly.
There is a security threat for the user, only if the user puts application inside its /system/priv-app folder.

If an application is in /system/priv-app, it can do pretty much anything anyway.
Worse than that, a threat-model assuming an attacker can write in /system/priv-app, he can most likely write into the whole /system, and replace everything of Android, install Xposed, etc...
So I totally agree that if the patch does what it says (I didn't read, but it's possible.), "no security threat is posed to our users".

Though an acceptable reason from LineageOS imo is "this will be used to circumvent protections (read SafetyNet), we don't want that"

I don’t think they’ll be useful for anything.

AFAIK, Edge’s rendering engine relies on DirectX 11, Direct2D and DirectWrite. These are huge and depend on other Windows-specific stuff. There are open alternatives (OpenGL/GLES, OpenVG, Pango, Skia, etc.) but these are not as good.

All that stuff doesn't really matter... If you have 3 months notice, it only means they'll come up to you and offer you to pay you those three months and you don't have to show up at all. And you sign a contract that prevents you from suing.

Most worker rights, in the end, become a matter of how much money they'll pay you to leave if they want you to leave.

Yes, one could--theoretically--fight back and not accept the money, but that only means you'd be a pariah in the company. What's the point of staying if the company wants you to leave and offers you a package? Take the money and get a new job in a couple weeks...

When I was implementing Renjin's PRNG based on GNR R's, I read a fair amount of GNU R code. I think it goes without saying that C and Fortran perform well. However, I do believe that R's flexibility as a language comes at a performance cost. The implementation of that flexibility is not always done in an efficient manner; and as a result performance suffers. I.e. R is not particular performant in certain circumstances despite being largely implemented in C and Fortran. I only have anecdote to offer in this regard, but it is worth considering that GNU R's good performance is not a foregone conclusion.

I’d say the fact that nobody cares about communists demonstrates the fact that they have no real power or voice. Nobody cares because they know that communists won’t accomplish anything anyway. People get upset at far-right marches precisely because they know that these marches represent substantial power and influence.

I really don’t get your characterization of the two parties. How is it center-right to talk about nuking terrorists or murdering their families in retribution? On the other side, if Democrats are batshit-left, why aren’t they talking about nationalizing industries, seizing farms from big landowners, or abolishing religion?
Computer games are bad enough now. When I first heard about a certain factory building game (I won't name it to prevent anyone else becoming addicted), for two weeks straight I played pretty much every waking hour when I wasn't working. I ate things that were easy to make and didn't need much attention like pasta - I'd just set it to cook and come back when the timer went off, eat, then back to the game.

>People often forget we create laws and give people rights (property, patents, right of way on roads, attendance to public schools, free speech) because these rights serve society as a whole.

Some people believe rights are actually inherent, not "given" by anyone. Indeed the US constitution uses the phrase "We hold these rights to be self-evident", and you'll find the justification is not utilitarian (not based on appeal to some ideal outcome).

Hm, interesting.

I still doubt that fund would pay up, as my gut feeling says that in the event of UK leaving the customs union (current stated goal), then it would make more sense to divert shipping around the UK rather than use the UK as a bridge between two shipping ports for faster RoI-Continent transit.

But that’s just speculation on my part, I don’t know the rules by which it operates.
“R has been traditionally limited by the need to fit data sets into memory, and working with even modest sets of data can quickly exhaust memory due to historical limitations in GNU R interpreter’s implementation.”

I see that the propaganda machine never rests, no matter which language. Either that, or they haven’t heard of Vertica’s R, which is excellent and counters these claims.

The rest with the “fragmentation of R” is a poor marketing tack: people who run R are perfectly capable of thinking with their own brains, thank you very much; Renjin has no place patronizing. We’re not sheep.
Taiwan maybe, but China focuses more on good trade relations than political ideology or ethics.
Doesn't the risk of earthquakes prevent building tall buildings? Also London is comparatively flat, a large area on the SF peninsula is a huge useless (From a housing perspective) mountain and large parts of it are hills which makes construction difficult. I'm not saying this is the main reason but it probably makes the comparison a bit biased.

Xamarin.Mac is the project emcompassing bindings from Cocoa (i.e. native macOS) to Mono/.NET, the interface with Xcode for building Cocoa UIs, and Visual Studio for Mac (previously called Xamarin Studio).

Glad you liked the app.

Right now we are trying to focus on functionality rather than UI. It is already being undertaken by the design team.

I would really appreciate if you could provide some suggestions.

Right now I am reaching to the community to understand the gaps that we should fill for that reason your feedback would be of value to us.

I think many web apps are essentially closed source taken to the next level. Back when the war was Windows vs Linux, software could still be painstakingly reverse-engineered. This made making open source alternatives easier, as well as compatibility projects like Wine, Samba...

With online services, there's no chance. They can even take copylefted software, modify it, use, and don't release. This is technically compliant with GPL2, but against its spirit. (A)GPL3 was made to combat this. I agree the license is complicated, verbose and very hard to enforce, but at least it's a try.

I think the problem is two-fold: data and software. The article focuses on user data, but it's not hard to believe a culture of closed source breeds a closed approach to user data.

Somewhat true, but the kind of work my team does is complex coding around business requirements and it ends up taking two or three of us putting our collective heads together to work out solutions to problems. Looking at previous coding jobs I had, none were quite as complex, so YMMV.
This seems backwards to me. Because my spouse has a better job than Mike's, I'm more likely to get laid off? Because I'm younger than Bill and can theoretically make up the financial impact sooner I'm more likely to get laid off?

If there are ten employees you need to cut, shouldn't they be cut based on either their recent performance, or a completely random method?
Manual has lower maintenance costs regardless. A clutch plate is about $500, an automatic transmission is between $1500 and $4000. Manual doesn't require its fluid to be changed.
Interesting idea.

Regarding the second point: Employees always have an incentive to try to stretch out their tasks, so employers already know how to minimize that behavior. If employers paid for commuting, commuting would be managed like other tasks.
It's been a while since my Marxism-Leninism class so caveat emptor, but I believe the role of socialism was limited. There supposed to be transitional phase from coercive proletarian state to truly classless society aided by "socialist mode of production", but not much after that.

The socialist and social-democratic (as you correctly put it) movements promoted socialism as end-game within bourgeois/capitalist social framework and were viewed as adversarial.

And clearly there are ongoing changes in social fabric but it's hard to attribute them to socialist movements alone more than to e.g. technological, agricultural or medical advances.

Well, it was just silly to destroy it, even if the author didn't like it.

In my parents house(which was built in the 80s) the original owner had an entire wall of the living room decorated with an absolutely stunning mosaic of a peacock, made out of tiny glass squares. He must have commissioned a local artist to design it and then the artwork must have been created over weeks with a lot of manual labour. However, try as you might, it would never fit into a modern house, as beautiful as it was - so what did my parents do? They put a thin plasterboard over it and just painted that. So the peacock is still there and we have a plain white wall in the living room. Don't understand why the author couldn't have done the same.
Some cases I know of:

(1) the East-German produced Z80 clone U880 apparently fixed a mask layout bug, the bug only affected the undocumented instruction set of the chip, which was most likely the reason why it wasn't fixed by Zilog before

(2) the KC Compact (an East German Amstrad CPC clone) was using 'standard chips' available in the Eastern Bloc countries to emulate the integrated gate array of the original, this made the interrupt system more programmable than in the original, which in theory would have enabled some more interesting "graphics demo effects" (http://cpctech.cpc-live.com/docs/kcc/kccdif.html)

(3) some of the countless ZX Spectrum clones had slightly better graphics capabilities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ZX_Spectrum_clones)
