Yes, you can name shitty famous people of today. But when I was growing up, I don't think I ever followed a famous person who wasn't approved by a gatekeeper of some kind. Nor did I ever see an interview of them that wasn't presented by a major media company.

But in both absolute and relative terms, the number of genuinely passionate famous people has increased. And the amount of hours people spend watching these people perform and reading their own words has increased. I'm using Jennifer Lawrence as an effect, not a cause. She wears this faux-accessibility because she's competing with less famous, truly accessible people. Earlier celebrities didn't have to appeal to this desire because there was no one flanking them on that dimension.

Look at pictures of the highest grossing actors of 2016 [0]. Even in their facial expressions, they are miles away from John Wayne, Paul Newman, Humphrey Bogart, or Clint Eastwood in the golden age of Cool.

OWASP Town Hall Meeting, Happening RIGHT NOW
Bear in mind that if the US decides to print $21 trillion dollars it wipes out its entire debt.

Granted, all your dollars would be buy about 1/20th as much as they did before, but the US would be debt-free. (There are other problems with printing $21tn dollars that I'll leave to actual economists to point out.)
I don't think the title ("What Most Remote Companies Don’t Tell You About Remote Work") makes sense for this article.

He mentions co-founding a company and never had a "real" job but his title is all about being a remote worker for a company.

There's a HUGE difference between being a remote worker FOR a company, and a remote worker for YOUR OWN company.

In the employee / company case, you have someone telling you what to do work on day to day and probably report to them on a regular basis for progress. You have no chance to spiral out of control because if you produce low quality or no work over a few days or a week you'll get reminded by your employer that they are paying you to do work.

In the entrepreneur case, you have no one for that and then it's very easy to get into trouble.

I've been working remotely for ~20 years (for my own freelance / teaching business) and I find it super simple to find motivation to work on client work because someone is requesting I do something for them, and they pay me in return (similar to a "real" job).

But for the teaching (creating and selling video courses) side of things, it's much harder to grind through everything because there's no real deadlines (other than being irrelevant if you take too long, which is a serious threat but you typically don't think of that during your day to day). I imagine someone working on a startup as a solopreneur could have the same issues, because it's the same thing.
But setting up a build system is a tiny part of time it takes to finish a project, so why would it be a major factor when choosing a language?
This doesn't work that great in my opinion...

In LA, the train goes right to long beach. You have your two kids carry picnic stuff; you may just want to rent a surfboard there.

"The Pixel was a great phone but it's getting to be a pretty old phone"

How so? I just upgraded to a Pixel 2 XL from a phone much older than the pixel, a Nexus 6. I would not have even upgraded so soon if I didnt up with one too many crack on my screen when it gave up.

almost 7 years for me, and i still love it. i don't miss office stuff at all.

it kind of helps that my wife is a housewife, so we can have meals together, we can talk to each other when we are feeling lonely and etc. also i try to chit-chat with coworkers on our "random" slack room just like i would do at an office.
I suppose my kids could technically "roam" but they won't have anywhere to go that's interesting. Most kids can't even walk or bike to school in the suburbs.
Lol

NuScenes – large-scale autonomous driving dataset
I'd goal shift at this point and argue unemployment isn't as useful an indication anymore. I'd say underemployment and wage growth are better indicators of the economy. It's great people are working again, but if those people are working at jobs they are overqualified for or working at jobs that refuse to pay them enough to live, I'm not sure that's useful.
"failed to solve the Blockchain log jam" is unfair. There are numerous architectural changes in the pipeline for the next year or two (POS; plasma; etc.), that are all designed to help scaling. Given the number and complexity of such changes, it's possible they fail, but these changes have not launched yet.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've just gone through his wiki page, and if Brett Garsed thinks he's great, I have to check him out.
I’ve been working remotely for almost 5 years. One thing I would recommend remote teams is visiting teammates cities (if possible and if traveling is your thing). Is a nice way to see the world and for team bonding at the same time.
So, my single biggest daily aggravation: I turn off bluetooth/wifi frequently.[1]

There is no way to make the &%*#ing thing stop whining about lack of wifi - it literally waits until I'm trying to do something else to throw up a shitty dialog trying to annoy me into turning it on.

I turn connectivity off for a reason, and no, Apple does not know better in this instance. It is incredibly user-hostile and irritating, and I hope the engineer that wrote that code gets pink eye[2].

[1] I know, I'm a weirdo. Trying to explain how I'm Doing It Wrong will lead me to ignore you.

[2] I kid. It is really annoying, though.
That sounds about perfect for a driving commute.
>I've traveled through pretty much all of Europe

You haven't seen shit. Criminal family clans have an estimated 200.000 family members in Germany alone. This source is leaning extremely to the left so you can't accuse me of using bad sources:

https://www.zeit.de/2018/33/clans-deutschland-kriminalitaet-...

Police have formed extra divisions for this and it's a huge problem in at least a dozen big German cities.

It's the same or worse in Paris, Marseille, Stockholm, some English cities and probably others I forgot.

Saying this problem doesn't exist only shows how uneducated and ignorant you are.
...but those who do get more privacy than those who try to buy their privacy from Apple. In other words, Apple is an option for those who a) don't want to learn and don't have access to someone who can do the job for them, who b) trust Apple when they say they will guard their privacy and c) can afford to make these choices.

By the way, the time when installing an alternative Android distribution on your phone was 'hacky' is past for many devices, several distributions offer OTA updates so it is perfectly possible to run a mostly-open device without ever having to do anything 'hackish'.

As to whether an always-on radio beacon transmitting your location to the authorities can ever be seen as a plus in a privacy context remains to be seen of course, that is something which can not be fixed by either AOSP or Apple.
>If your concern is terrible drivers killing themselves and others, what you should be arguing for is much stricter standards for obtaining a driver's license.

Or for keeping a drivers license.

>Probably removing 'full coverage' insurance and only allowing liability would go a long way as well. Can't keep wrecking your vehicle if nobody's buying you a new one.

I disagree... a used car is pretty cheap. Cheaper than full coverage, if you have a bad record.

I think this should be attacked by increasing the minimum liability coverage. right now, in California, you can drive with homeopathic levels of liability insurance... $35K isn't going to cover very much hospital time/time off work if you hit someone who has a good job. The minimum liability coverage should be 2-3 orders of magnitude higher.

Of course, for either of these things to be politically possible, we first need a society where it's reasonable to get from A to B without a car. An idea that is fought against daily even in relatively dense places like where I am now.
Don't forget the massive infrastructure investments required to support life built on the private car. Maintained roads and gasoline come at an enormous cost to society. The cost of everything is multiplied by driving-based distances.
That 'higher than average desire' tidbit is oh so very measurable...
> GDP is a sum you can't argue with

That's tone deaf. The manipulation to change how it's calculated (always upward!), means it's a sum without meaning in every major world power.

Show HN: cgen – A tool for writing C code with metaprogramming in JavaScript
The suburbs have less air and noise pollution, which is good for the children but overall it's a dull and isolated environment. Playing alone in the backyard just because that is the only place where a child can go out of the house is quite sad.

In Europe the children can go to a shared park or a playground. Strolling along a street is also safe and quite pleasant when there is little traffic. There is more space and things to do than you can have in your backyard. And more importantly, they get to play with other children.
Wow, two posts on Haven Bros. already!

I miss getting out of a concert at Lupo's or the Strand, and getting hotdogs at Haven Bros. They have outlasted many concert venues in Providence.
Old enough and married long enough to make me changing my mind unlikely.
Dammit not inbox. I've been using it since the beginning. You know this is the kind of stuff that prevents me from diving too deep into there tech and products. I love flutter but I'm scared about its fate.

Flutter, Dart, Fuchsia these are some great technologies but they might end up in bin some day.

In the end, I tell myself, I'm just a user. Imagine what must be the state of developers who spent years working on these products but then this happens in entire industry. It's just I expected better from Google.
Hi! Creator of cgen here. cgen is a personal project of mine. As is, it has a sufficient amount of functionality for building a non-trivial project, but there are certainly many rough edges that will need to be found through further exploration and usage. I'd also like to emphasize that I find the paradigm of mixing code with code generation like this more fascinating and compelling than my particular implementation of it. I'd love to hear your comments both on the concept and on the particular implementation, and I'd be happy to look at pull requests for cool new usages or for improvements to core cgen.
Peter Thiel on Trump, Gawker, and Leaving Silicon Valley (Full Interview)
In essence, JetBrains has caught up to where Xamarin was prior to the announcement of Xamarin.Forms: the ability from one solution to have separate iOS and Android UI applications with a business logic library shared between the two, all written in C# or F# (the two languages supported by the Mono compiler). The main difference is that one of the vendors actually supports the language in question (Kotlin) as a first-class citizen.

And going the other way, there's been noise for a couple years that Android apps could be written in Swift, achieving the same effect in reverse.

Healthcare does not represent a 10 year life expectancy age gap alone.

Healthcare has the largest influence on life expectancy from infant mortality, but the 0.5% increase only changes life expectancy by ~6 months.
Very interesting post, as it helps me see things from the perspective of someone at a different life stage from me. I’ve been leading a distributed (my preferred term) team for 2 years now. I’ve got 4 other humans + associated animals in my house, a dedicated outbuilding as an office, and the option to visit a an office if I want to. What’s more, I came to working remote after doing 50-75% work travel for a couple years. Being able to see my kids and wife everyday is absolutely amazing and makes any other annoyance worth it.

But I’ve got 20 people on my team. Some of them are new grads, some are recently divorced, etc... This article helps me see areas we as a team can do better serving them I wouldn’t have seen myself. Thanks to the author and OP.
I highly recommend Searx. Not a great name, but it's a meta-search engine that returns results from many search engines. It's self-hostable, and there are tons of different instances to choose from.

Even the poorest people in the US have electric lights that are brighter than anything even the richest of 200 years ago could have. The cost to run those lights is also significantly less as well. That is just one example of the types of things that improve life for everybody.

So long as everybody is improving their life, and can see things improving (or say they are not interested in the improvements - like the Amish)
I’m a big proponent of bicycling, not only because of it’s health benefits but also because of city-design. Recently there was a poll taken place in my city which proposed reducing lanes to add more sidewalk and bike lanes to a few streets for the added commute time of around 1-2 minutes. As both a driver and a cyclist this is an acceptable trade off. Especially since the proposed streets had previously seen a lot of vehicle-pedestrian accidents.

I think an important part of having a more bikable city is that it leads to a more livable city. My bike ride to work takes me through the south-east part of town which was previously segregated. These areas aren’t well-suited to biking, but should be. If you are poor and your car breaks down you still have to have a way to get to work. A car is a hell of a lot more expensive then a bike or a bus.
> I think 9/11 may disagree

Only in the US, which is arguable. Every person in the US is affected by the 2008 events every month. 9/11 is hardly a blip in most of the US, outside of the lukewarm media attention about tangentially related eventualities.

Americans get very upset when they don't opt-in to risk and end up being exposed to violence unwittingly, but that's life. It's no more or less tragic than when you get diagnosed with cancer. 40k people die in car accidents each year. 5-10k die of a terrorist attack almost 20 years ago. It's immoral to worship one single tragedy that pales in comparison to those ongoing. I live with the solace that those who are born after 9/11 will have a saner perspective.

Tried searching for my own Steam Community profile, and it gave me pornography. I've had similar experiences with DuckDuckGo. As much as I'd like to switch from Google, there really is no better alternative.
Not sure where the logic is, but a far easier explanation is: allocate a new variable each time you push into the stack (regardless of stack depth).
We know that the individual and family incomes for those in the lower 50% (or as much as 90%) of the income distribution have been falling (after inflation) for the last 30 years. So it's not just that their parents are better off... because they are flat to down.
AKA, student loans. Which create a massive economic drag for those who participate in those programs over a large portion of their working years, and delays their entry into retirement (or increases the demand on community/city/state/federal support programs when they do retire).
Exactly what I was going to write.
Plus, if you end significant relationship, then cut off all support group (friends and family) you can be in literal paradise and still be depressed and suffer.
> they can't understand why I would want to just stay in my medium-sized city and travel a few times a year.

I would except I want to travel while keeping my carbon footprint minimal.
The same is true for cars, yet nobody uses that as a reason not to drive a car.
I did remote work for many years starting back in 2003.

The worst time, when I almost lost my mind, was when I was living in a tiny apartment, having my work desk inside my bedroom. Although I had my mother and my sister living with me, I was supporting all of us and that pressure was strong, so we didn't interact much.

I'd never leave the apartment. I'd wake up and jump on my work chair and start coding. I'd get stuck in my bedroom sometimes working 16 hours in single days.

At some point I didn't know if I was working from home or living at work. It was terrible. I wasn't aware of the potential problems at the time, so I let it happen to myself. I had to eventually rent an office, otherwise I'd lose my mind for real.

I love remote work and I love times of solitude, however you need a break from time to time. Even if you are anti-social, you need to at least see and be near people. Co-working spaces, coffee-shops, etc. they all work great for me.
Interesting idea. A good use case might be for video tutorials, where the video could auto-pause and ask when the user has completed the previous step. I find myself pausing tutorials videos constantly. Another idea might to build logic in, so that the video asks whether you're following along and will want pauses, or if you're just watching to learn and won't want pauses between steps.
It's kind of funny- I assume other people will assume I'm not productive at home, so I end up hyper-focusing on getting things done when I'm working from home just to prove I'm not slacking off.
Perception of risk is why. My wife has made it very clear that I’m a single man if I ever get a motorcycle.
It's not the same. It's a bigger problem than the one you're talking about, according to the article. It's easier to get doctors to adapt some procedure than to get them to give one up.
Sorry I didn't make myself clear in the submission, I'm a developer and my bosses (product manager) keep getting fired/reassigned.

That's an interesting point. I'm not entirely sure I agree with that reasoning for early returns, though.

If I'm extracting code to be available for more general use, I usually prefer to try to forget the preconditions of the source function and apply just the preconditions that are applicable for the now-standalone code. In that case, once I'm done with the extraction I'd need to ensure that the preconditions of the source function match the preconditions of the extracted code, and nesting doesn't really affect that; if anything, having the preconditions all up front would make things a bit easier by having everything in one place.

As for moving blocks of code around, I can't say I've had much need to move code across "precondition domains", for lack of a better term. Perhaps I just haven't run across the right situation yet.
I'm a Millennial (by some definitions) with kids. I don't want "more house"; instead I want my kids to have access to things to foster their independence and growth.

I have a lot of friends, with kids, who have had to look farther out into the suburbs because of home prices and inventory. And nothing in this price range is HGTV material, believe me.
What type of work do your nomad friends do? Freelance design? Copywriting? Programming?
You're right that the multiple solutions for Python make things confusing and prevent you from using the same method for every project, hopefully we'll start to standardize on pipenv, which makes the process:

"apt install python3 python3-pipenv; git pull {url}; pipenv sync; python3 .py"

pipenv sync sets up a virtual env and pulls all the dependencies.
Lived and worked in the suburbs of Atlanta, can confirm that suburb traffic going cross town of same suburb (Alpharetta) for 5 miles could take similar time as commuting from the same location to Buckhead.

Similarly, going crosstown in Atlanta without highways is also bad.

On residential streets they barely enforce this - it's complaint driven and they put a giant notice on your windshield for 48 hours before towing.
Thanks for sharing this research. I have a similar sleep schedule to yours (deprived weekdays, binge sleep on weekends) and find myself low on energy.

I had a period of time in my life where I was getting in bed early and waking up early (naturally) and that was when I was the most satisfied and had the most consistent sleep.

Now that I work in IT, I find myself more stressed and wanting to do more things that I enjoy to counter the stress of the daily grind and am fighting my sleep schedule again. I do feel quite out of balance and would like consistent sleep again, but that would probably require a less stressful job or coming to peace with my current job and situation.
The only solution I have found is to run an OpenVPN server at home and stay connected to it constantly. I lose a microscopically-minuscule amount of battery life, and a few percentage points of WAN throughput but it is worth it.

I then have content rules on the firewall between the OpenVPN server and the Internet.

As an added benefit, this makes the monitoring done by all cellphone providers (not just Verizon!) irrelevant because all they see is a constant, 24x7 stream of encrypted traffic to the same IP address.
It can be done today, but the browser UX around X.509 client cert auth is poor, and especially setting up your browser to use hardware tokens is more than could be expected of a nontechnical user.

I don't know for sure why they decided to do something new rather than improving the UX of client certs, but what they came up with for Webauthn seems to work with pretty well.
I'd switched to a OnePlus a few years ago and was delighted by the performance/cost.

In the last few years the combined privacy invasion from:

1. Google at the very heart of Android (and even Cyanogen/LineageOS with DNS, Google Play Services etc.) and everything I do on the phone.
2. OnePlus with sending data and telemetry back to China and being caught out multiple times after saying they respect the user.
3. Facebook with asking for/getting insane levels of permissions from Android for their apps.

Has made me realise that Apple are the only option for anyone who cares about privacy and wants some simplicity.

Sure I'd love for the ello (/e/) project to eventually take off and provide a real solution but in the meantime and for now Apple aren't showing any signs of wanting to (or needing to) exploit/sell my personal data.

I'm degooglifying as much as possible and my tech friends are too after the recent scandals. Google's a company we will look back on in 50 years as being a blight on freedom.
I have to ask: is this a case of the search engine being at fault, or the search terminology being problematic? I use DDG as my primary search and I've never accidentally received pornography.
