There is a company in Switzerland that is trying to get companies stop having their own offices, instead offer to employees the possibility to work in their local town / village in coworking spaces that they connect to the network.

To work at home is not for everyone, it can be lonely, you might not have an extra rooms to use as an office. So with their still the employer paying for your office and for all the infrastructure you need.

The real question isn't how much caffeine do the tea leaves contain, but how much of it migrates into the water during steeping. My understanding is that the preparation of the tea (drying process, water temperature, steeping time, first vs second infusion, etc) has as much to do with the final caffeine content as the leaves themselves.

> If members don't like the goals of the union then they should find another union that represents them better.

They do, or they just don't join a union at all.

Wasn't this conversation about why people might not be to keen to join unions?

If the unions don't care about membership numbers then there's no issue. If they want to increase their membership numbers then aligning themselves to, and worse than that actively funding, one party, that many people don't support, will be an issue that makes that harder.

It's not just the Greens - people who could be interested in joining a union but wouldn't want to fund Labour might include Socialists, Communists, Liberal Democrats, yes Conservatives as well (Conservative Workers & Trade Unionists for example), UKIP, and so on.
Germany, Italy and Japan have paid war reparations and suffered both during and after the war. That's probably the dumbest comparison I've ever heard.

But to answer, yes, if I were alive and if I would have suffered through the war like my grandparents before me, I couldn't have forgiven them as it would be my prerogative. So what can I say, I guess Microsoft will have to wait for those alive during the Halloween Documents to be either dead or really old.

I think it's worth contemplating the legacy of colonialism. The British Raj didn't exactly encourage initiative, which has undoubtedly left some scars. My ancestors did some unspeakably ugly things to the people of the Indian subcontinent in the name of "management".

i did a quick skim of the article for "resist" and couldn't find anything to back your claim. all the article says is that smart cards have better security because they're isolated from the host (which is a security measure, but doesn't say anything about physical tampering resistance), and that some smart cards have tamper resistance built in.
wait till you work somewhere they add in items you have no influence over like meeting sales goals or such while working in IT. Then on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being best and 2 being under performing they score you a 2 in both categories. then again a subsidiary of ours had a four year stint with a bad cio who set all reviews as a 2 baseline and required managers to justify higher.

When reviews are once or at most twice a year they don't provide guidance a manager should be providing full time. All they are a means for a company to protect themselves from recrimination.
>Ions let you develop applications for the cloud by deploying your code to a running Datomic cluster

I could be totally off base here as I have no real experience with clojure, but this intro sentence threw me off right away.

>Ions let you develop applications for the cloud by deploying your code to a running Datomic cluster

What is an ion? What is a "datomic cluster"? Are these terms just new jargon for what is essentially a deployment system? If they're a clojure thing then ok, but a quick search makes me think they're not. I understand software and I understand deployment. I read the rest of the page and I feel like I would have to problem understanding what this really is if they cut down on the jargon.
It depends on the tee. Most green tea advises to use 70°C water.

A good approximation of that is taking 2/3 boiling water and 1/3 tap water (if you have 10°C tap water that works out to exactly 70°C). Don't forget stirring before adding it to tea, to make sure it's well mixed.

For optimal results obviously read the packaging of your tea and use a thermometer.

This interests me specifically for developers/programmers. If you realize you have one hour left in the day to work (before heading home or going to sleep), how do you decide what to work on? and how much do you think you can get done?

There are additional problems related to landing space. A flying car is inevitably going to need much more space than a car of the same capacity, and when, as often happens, a lot of people want to be at the same place at the same time, there would probably have to be end-to-end traffic control where you cannot start your journey without a guaranteed place to land.

Being in an electric flying car looking for a parking space would add a new dimension to range anxiety.
> Markets work by paying for value created.

That is not completely true. Market pay also depends on demand and supply. When I was 19 I got 20 Euro an hour (tax free!) doing some CAD work not because of my skills (they were pathetic), but because a large project of a small company depended on some CAD work being done and he (the boss) couldn't find anyone to do it (part-time, for half a year only, very simple work on a shitty laptop were some reasons why I can imagine he had problems). As a test I was asked to draw a line and give it a specific colour in AutoCAD, that was it!

>"If what you're seeing isn't a statistical fluctuation, then you've found something,"

You have found a deviation from your null model. That is it.

>"so it's right to claim a discovery."

No, if you knew the null model was flawed to begin with nothing has been learned. Also I wouldn't refer to something like "equipment was malfunctioning" as a discovery. Drawing any conclusions about the actual research hypothesis must be done outside the NHST framework, or else there is a fallacy at play (probably strawman).

>"What we don't do is dishonestly drip-feed data until we hit the significance we want, then stop. Data is added in fairly large chunks (generally an year's run at a time), and when a new dataset is added the analysis is developed with (at least the new) data blinded. The dataset is only unblinded when the analysis has been finalized."

Great, but even if you don't p-hack it still doesn't work unless it really makes sense to assume the null/background model is perfectly true. P-hacking is just more BS on top of an already BS procedure.

In summary: If there is anything wrong with the null/background model at all, the p-value will converge on zero, it is just a matter of collecting enough data. This will happen regardless of whether the theory of interest (research hypothesis) is accurate or not.
Bitcoin Redux: crypto crime, and how to tackle it [pdf]
As somebody whose career was linked to well being of the Chinese manufacturing sector I can say that manufacturing was on decline for quite a long time, with first symptoms appearing right at around 2009-2011.

The way the new mayor of Shenzhen ordered to bulldoze all factories in city center at around 2009-2010 shows how much esteem Chinese government has for entrepreneurship.

Can anybody imagine a governor of California ordering to bulldoze all silicon valley corporate campuses on a whim just because he wanted to have few hundreds more empty luxury shopping malls and 5 star hotels with blackjack and hookers?
People who care about their craft are still driven by self interest: it's just that their internal value/utility puts a higher weight on the craft itself: since they get more out of the process of creating things that have craftsmanship, they are not distracted by the opportunity to make 5 cents more per loaf (or whatever).

> That's who I trust. Never the behemoth driven by fiduciary duty and self interest.

Trust is orthogonal to craftsmanship.

> Adam Smith's philosophy is nearly 250 years old and predates the modern industrial revolution. It's time we stop putting it on a pedestal.

It's less a philosophy than an understanding/insight regarding human behavior. You might as well say "it's time we stop putting newtonian physics on a pedestal", to the extent that both are reasonable models of human behavior, and are helpful in many, many real-world situations.

Arguing that people "shouldn't" behave according to Smith's expectations is going to be about as successful as arguing they shouldn't fall when they jump off a ladder.

I, for one, like McDonalds and sometimes prefer a Bud Light.

You say MS/Google are winning because they have money to bundle their browser, and at the same time Firefox is rising because they made improvements to their software. That's a contradiction.

Personally, I left Firefox for Chrome because how unbearably slow Firefox is/was, something Mozilla seemed to ignore for a long time.

TIS-100 is a neat programming puzzle game. A lot of the programming challenges revolve around the limited nature of the CPU nodes in each system (two registers, no memory, very limited space for assembler source code). It's a fun game if you love to program. However, I found the later challenges somehow too frustrating and I haven't finished the game.

I once spent a boring Sunday afternoon researching the alternatives on Wikipedia.

As far as I could find out, they are illegal (Amphetamine), prescription-only (Modafinil) and/or very bad for your health (Methamphetamine). Amphetamine and Methamphetamine are also rather addictive and apparently quitting once you formed a habit is no fun. Ephedrine might be an alternative, but in Germany, it's prescription-only, and I did not care enough to research the possible health issues it might cause. I vaguely remember there were a few substances that sounded promising, but they were fairly new, and I could not find out anything about their possible health effects, addictive-ness, etc...

So it's either caffeine or plenty of sleep, at least for me.
Ion is a name as far as I know.

Datomic is a database consists of multiple services so you can deploy it on one machine or multiple. I called it a cluster because on AWS of course the idea is to deploy it on multiple.

Amazon Lambda is a way to deploy code without telling Amazon about the underlying machines/VMs. Ion is a way to deploy Clojure and Datomic without knowing anything about the underlying machines or VMs.
Not a pure dev (I'm a founder so get spread over lots of tasks), but I generally use my last hour of work for planning and setting up for the next block of work.

I can't be the only one who thinks flying cars are a bad idea? More traffic in the air means more chances of collisions, which are much more likely to be fatal even for a small midair "fender bender". It also means far more energy usage to get from A to B than pretty much any other mode of transportation, at a time when we should be trying to reduce energy usage on this planet. The view will be ruined, with things flying across the sky day and night. At least with drones they're small enough not to be an eyesore. You won't be able to fly near an airport which most cities with traffic problems have, and they're going to be a lot harder to sell second hand, since no one wants a flying car that might fall out of the sky because the previous owner didn't service it enough. Furthermore, the quiet, scenic places outside our cities will suddenly be at the whim of every asshat rich enough to own a flyer, buzzing over lakes and forests and disturbing the peace. But hey at least Jeff Bezos won't have to wait in traffic.
Datomic is an immutable database, written in Clojure. It's pretty cool, you should check it out.

The company behind Datomic (Cognitect, which also develops the Clojure language) recently started offering the database as a cloud service. This was something Datomic users had wanted for a long time, but one problem with the new service was that one of Datomic's primary features, i.e. having the database reside in memory with your application, was missing.

Ions is a new service that addresses this problem by allowing you to deploy your app to the same VMs that are hosting Datomic in the cloud (a "datomic cluster"). It's basically PaaS for Datomic-backed applications.

I'm a longtime Clojure user and I had some trouble understanding all this as well, so I agree that could do a better job with presentation.
