I recently became remote and when hunting for a coworking space initially figured I'd just go to one of the WeWork's here (Denver).

I was blown away at the cost of a "hot desk" membership [1]. The least expensive offering was $360/mo. For a desk that's not "yours" and you can't leave anything at.

I wound up going with Novel [2] for $99/mo. Sure printing costs me $0.10/page but other than that it's pretty much a desk.

For fun I checked out the pricing for WeWork SF [3]...

If you're interested in things being implemented in non-standard languages, I would check out the Make-A-LISP project on Github [1]. Someone even took it upon themselves to write an implementation in AWK :) [2]

No, there have been quantum computers sold commercially for many years now. I think D-Wave was the first.
Same here, fiancée and I had one at Umami Burger and were very impressed, had several since then (and we do eat meat), and always introduce friends to it when they are in town. Also tried it at some non-chain (I believe) SF restaurant and they nailed it, too, though in both cases I can imagine they know how to prepare it.
I unironically can't wait to read release notes about newer versions of my food
Same here. Being able to go for a swim, lift weights, using the climbing wall, etc. when stuck on a problem is great.
Similar I have issues with Compass Real Estate getting 440M in funding to basically buy traditional real estate companies with some sort of mythical special tech to make

They don't need to because if the creditors really wanted to limit retention bonuses then they would. They see it as an investment that they will get a return on by having key people around to run down the business in an organized way and maximize the value of assets. The bonuses are the only incentive to keep key people around on a sinking ship that needs needs guidance. If it weren't for that anyone remotely good would be among the first out the door so they could get a better job.
Eventually it may be, "we broke."
Yes, it absolutely is. Learn full stack and go work at one of the web tech giants. (There are obviously other options, but I mention the tech giants because the salaries are very lucrative.) This usually means understanding data structures and algorithms so you can get past the interview questions.

Aside from tech giants, the web is probably one of the most used interfaces ever. There a tons of business opportunities online. Just about every business is participating online. There are tons of jobs here.

I specialized in computer security and am basically doing web development at a major tech company right now. It's kinda sad but I like money.
That makes zero sense. How does management getting all that money keep their staff around? They'd use that money to pay the staff if that were true.
I suspect the last thing you want to do in the vicinity of one of the busiest airports in the world is to start jamming frequencies?
I've just tried accessing through fb-referred link and got the same paywalled view.
"We rent out office spaces and amenities like big successful startups to anyone."

If this does indeed taste like real meat, then they may move in the direction of making healthier products. That is, they've said from the beginning that their goal with the Impossible Burger is to mimic the taste and health profile of ground beef. But there's a lot of fat in there, and many people (like me) don't really ever cook with ground beef for that reason.

But if they've nailed the taste, then perhaps they can start making something leaner, akin to ground turkey? For me, that would have a larger impact on my regular diet.
Isn't the responsibility on the law makers who are using the issue at the airport as justification, not the airport itself? Heathrow isn't somehow trying to pass laws themselves are they? (Caveat: Maybe I just don't understand how British law works?)
My Tryst with MCMC Algorithms
There are a ton of delicious Chinese vegetable dishes. I've always found it weird that Americans insist on meat being the only delicious food out there.
A mall with a big hole in it doesn't seem like a good investment.

As specified in the comment, not mall locations. Those were rented from mall owners. But Sears had/had many many standalone stores.

Many of those stores were built in urban neighborhoods at a time when city neighborhoods were thriving. Now those properties are gaining value again as more people move into cities.

Also, the Sears Auto Care locations are supposed to be doing well financially, and tend to be located in desirable locations.
The world is a better [0] place if less people have nuclear weapons. "Outlawing business" (i.e. sanctions) are being used to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Thus it improves the world [1].

[0] Better is somewhat subjective I suppose, but I think we can pretty objectively say "more likely to hold a human civilization 100 years from now".

[1] It also undoubtedly makes the world worse in other ways, whether it improves the world more than it makes it worse is too political for me to be interested in discussing it with strangers on the internet.
However, the LSE says that relocation would have little financial impact as LCH has a clearing house in Paris that is fully authorised under EU rules.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40258449

So a few things from that article are important. The first is that a subsidiary already exists. The second is that some clearing already occurs in the US, so there's precedent for non-EU Euro clearing. And third, it looks like the European Central Bank has been trying to get clearing out of London anyways, but was stopped by the courts.

So it's not likely to be stopped since the US clears transaction, and even if it is there's already a subsidiary in France to pass it all through. There'll be some local job hits, but the sky is falling stuff is nonsense. Counties and businesses will still want to do business with UK and they will figure out how to do it very quickly.
There's a big problem with funeral homes preying on people's grief for profit. They could absolutely use some disruption, however I doubt that disruption could ever be in the form of a profit-seeking startup.
Useful in a "Hang the DJ" (Black Mirror) type situation maybe...
Maybe it was made by IBM's consulting division.
Part of the excellence of interviewcake is that it feels like it was made by a person. When you're reading passages on the site, you can tell that the same person wrote them all. When you have an issue or a suggestion, you email it in, and the founder emails you back immediately.

It doesn't feel like a venture-backed company that provides an anemic free trial, but designs the entire product to upsell you to the subscription. Nope. It costs a few hundred bucks. Take it or leave it. If it doesn't work, you can get a refund.

This probably isn't a scalable way to do business, but isn't it nice that ignoring the growth impulse can actually make your product better?
Yeah, and if you use your will power before work, you run out of it earlier in the work day and you get less done at work.
This does the FB redirect trick but still forwards to the partial WSJ article.
There was also the women's lingerie and undergarment section of the catalog, which was as close to porn as you could easily get for a boy in the 1970s.
I'm creating an open source todo list + calendar webapp (https://getartemis.app, source at https://github.com/satvikpendem/artemis) made by just me, and I can tell you how I approached the problem.

The video you see on the front page does not exist in code, it is simply a prototype designed with Figma (https://figma.com) and animated with Principle (https://principleformac.com). I created the landing page and video, added a Mailchimp form, and I posted on Twitter, Reddit, and here on Hacker News, the communities in which it made sense. For me, it's a productivity / task management tool, so I would post on reddit.com/r/getdisciplined or reddit.com/r/productivity.

It's all about creating a minimum viable product, as you might well be aware, but what you may not know is that an MVP need not have code. Indeed, it could be a video as I did, and I think for software, a video works best as people can actually see what it looks and feels like, without you necessarily creating the product architecture (full frontend and backend plus devops etc). Now I have over 150 subscribers in only a month due to rapid creation of this type of MVP, and based on this feedback, I changed my designs, and only now I am beginning to really create the heart of the product.

Using non-code MVPs is the best way in my opinion to sell quickly before building.
I agree that many college degrees seem to take far longer than is actually necessary, even technical ones at good school. The result seems to be that you can graduate with acceptable grades in 4 years, having spent maybe ten hours a week on school related activities.

But.

I feel that this should make it easier for an adult that would like to keep their job/income while attending school.

I also agree with most of your other gripes, having seen them at the large state school that I went to, but our neighboring state university (still a high quality school) was well known as a commuter school and went out of its way to accommodate adults. In essence, I don't think that your experience necessarily has to be universal.

P.S. Working in groups with young students is terrible even if you are a young student, and the only way I ever found to alleviate that was to select courses that were infamous for their difficulty. Easy class? Worthless group. Very hard class? Useful people that can be trusted to accomplish their part on their own time without supervision/hand holding.
I'm a fair bit younger than yourself, but I did that recently at U of Toronto.

So I don't know if this anecdote helps, but I've been out of school for a few years now since I last attended—

I had to set an appointment with an administrator/registrar who wanted to discuss what I've been doing (work history, bit of life history—but these were more for their understanding than formally required), but ultimately the process for me, should I decide to move forward was:

* re-register (a quick form and small fee)

* the usual rigamarole— get my new student ID, register for courses when available, and carry on.

It was remarkably simpler than I thought it would be—even with the potential for switching programs and internal schools altogether.
> Please specify who this 'we' refers to.

Millions of people have looked at things that are dangling in the air, and they haven't moved.

> There may be no physical "pushing force", but "you all" need to come up with a better explanation

I don't need to explain the sense of being stared at if I'm only interested in the perceived pushing force.

> People feel stared at all the time.

A feeling isn't proof unless you can show that the feeling correlates with actual staring. It's absolutely normal to have false feelings sometimes. Sometimes people feel hot or cold when the temperature hasn't changed. Sometimes people perceive crowds differently based on what mood they're in. We're social creatures and the idea of being looked at can be creepy even when nobody else is in the room, or entire building.

Obviously this doesn't disprove anything. But it demonstrates that the mere existence of a feeling isn't proof that something outside your body caused it.
I would really like this if only because I listen to a radio station through iheartradio and they run the same 3-4 commercials during breaks for weeks at a time. Just give me some different ads and I might not want to skip them!
At least in NYC, it's comparable, but there are a lot of other factors like location and time that goes into it as well.

As a founder, do you want to spend your time negotiating contracts, handling the admin stuff like setting up the internet, electricity, build out if necessary?

To compare the original WeWork location I posted, a 1,000- 1,5000 square feet place would be around $15,000/mo in an older building. But that space would be a lot larger than what WeWork is offering, without any ammenities. At the same time, you can move it to a less convenient location and cut some costs.

It really depends on what the company's needs are at the time and how much they want/need to invest in their own office at the moment. WeWork has month to month contracts for smaller desk spaces so you can adjust as needed. They also offer to build you out offices to customize to your needs.

Many larger companies typically have remote offices at WeWork. For example, at a WeWork we were working at, there was a Blizzard and GitHub office.
How do you search for those exactly?
You'll find about ~5% (depending on source) of people have severe difficulties feeling empathy towards fellow humans, let alone animals.
PII is a US concept, ‘personal data’ is the equivalent in GDPR. But yes, IP addresses are considered personal data.

"Imagine what our public universities could look like with solid funding increases"

The reason we're having this conversation in the first place is precisely the "funding increases" they've been experiencing. If this isn't enough "funding increase" for them: https://rpreschern.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/college-tuiti... then I'd have to suggest "funding" is not their problem. What they'd look like with "solid funding increases" is pretty much what you're seeing right now.
If I give you 100G of iron at 10% bioavailabilty , and Tom 10G at 100% absorption, who absorbed more iron?

If you insist on reading the statement as "this burger has non-heme iron at quantities comparable to heme iron in meat that will also be just as bio-available" then yes, it's impossible.

However, I was trying to point out that there are several ways of reading that statement without it being marketing doublespeak.

TL;dr- I think we're arguing different points here.

Can you recommend any documentation on the "meta" angle? Most documentation I find assumes the creation of "static" widgets that are activated or hidden at run-time (or at least act that way).

> Are there problems that the quantum computers of today are actually better at solving than traditional computers?

When the first hard disk (IBM RAMAC) was developed, people drew the same sorts of conclusions. The difference there was that they weren't convinced that the disk would be faster than a secretarial pool. The net was that IBM invented hashing and made it definitively the case that the disk WAS faster.

Hopefully, sixty years later, they are able to address your similar concern in a similar way.
> vegetarian meals that can rival even the best meat based meal

I like a few Indian dishes, so I can appreciate what can be done in the vegetarian space.

Even so, I'd find it difficult to believe that any of them could match a properly cooked smoked BBQ beef brisket in flavor or texture.

Though I'm sure more than a few would make good side dishes, or work well with the brisket as an ingredient.
A lot of audio ad broadcast software uses a combination of audible or inaudible tones to act as "triggers" to mark a location where an ad can be injected using some kind of location/time/etc aware data, the ad itself is very rarely baked into the stream unless it is something you're listening to a host read themselves.

In podcasts, the ad injection software will often pause the audio at the point where the ad tone occurred while it plays the ad, and resume it afterwards for continuity.

AdSwizz's AIS suite is one example of the tools commonly used for this: https://www.adswizz.com/ad-insertion-suite/

(I work in the internet radio space, lots of old-school internet radio streams are similar).
I mean free and open source, of course. "Only exists as an internal Google project" is isomorphic, from my perspective, to "Does not exist".
It's probably very important in the evolutionary context to know if a potential mate is looking at you or the potential rival next to you.

I'm wondering about applications of this to robotics? Like, could this replace any of the needs/uses for force-feedback sensors in robotics, and/or for all the cool stuff Dexter[1] is doing to precisely locate it's arm in space with solutions less coupled to the hardware specifics/manufacturing? Could also maybe be really cool way to train robots on really precise behaviors if they can copy with really fine precision exactly what someone does with their hands and fingers, maybe can generalize/learn from a few simple demonstrations really complex interactions if the 3d fidelity is good enough? Dunno, definitely lots of other concerns/questions but robotics and VR/AR stuff come to mind for me and weren't mentioned at all in the article or any of the other comments, curious if any reasons I'm missing why not relevant there.

Which would be fine if the companies acknowledged that they are having trouble hiring because they're extremely picky.

Exactly this. I'm mid-level, trying to switch jobs. Several front-end javascript positions I interviewed for asked me anything from pretty tough algorithms to "how does Angular do namespacing" to object-oriented questions relating to Java to how to style a page and add event listeners to it without ability to reference the docs, etc.

The questions per se are not undoable, but the the sheer magnitude of the corpus they can ask questions from is what's so difficult. I accept this and try to cover as much as I can in self-study and outside courses, so I can better in future interviews. But it is a substantial burden timewise, and seems to be of diminishing marginal utility regarding actual, on-the-job performance, which is pretty annoying. Oh yeah, and then they reveal that they want to pay me $75k per year for a mid-senior position, in California. I know people who make that starting out of college as Account Managers for bigger CPG (consumer packaged goods) or pharma companies, with a company car and cell phone. (Granted, I think those jobs would be boring and also at-risk over the long-term, but the time spent/compensation difference seems out of whack.)

If there really were a shortage, companies would check for fundamentals but relax their standards and offer more on-the-job training for candidates. And wages would be significantly higher! Should get rid of H1Bs as a start, and see if that helps.
> someone is going to do it

You could use that excuse for almost anything morally repugnant.

The goal of most sanctions, from a diplomatic perspective, is to place enormous financial pressure on an economy so that the population revolts agains the government in question. It's believed that when the "price of onions" becomes too high for a society to tolerate, revolution occurs.

I'm not saying the world is/isn't a better place, just explaining the common beltway logic re: Iran sanctions.
I always wondered about why that was put there, and considered it a waste; now I know otherwise. Good information here, thanks.
Your comment resonates with me - it wasn't IBM that made the PC special, it was the lower cost alternative clones that made it accessible. Something that Apple shunned at the time and nearly became their death nail had it not been the investment by MS in the mid-90s.
The crime is violating sanctions not exactly selling equipment.
I hope this crap of having drawings instead of actual text never catches on.
No question that they operated poorly on top of just being in an eventually bad position for the future. Sears could have innovated or had a separate department like Xerox PARC and others did that kept them alive a long time, but unfortunately fast movers and disruptors will always have that advantage no matter what you do. Hence why FB and others just buy out all the small companies.
You're correct -- community college courses were "core" or "foundation" prior to the major. What I was attempting to suggest is 16-week semesters are too long (CC and Uni) and feel unnecessarily long for most subjects.
Indeed. Conversely as a Frenchie Prime still offers next-day shipping and works as well as it ever did (that is, pretty well most of the time). It's pretty amusing to me that we seem to have a better deal with Prime on the old continent than on Amazon's home turf.

You are overgeneralizing. Also I quite enjoyed working with students about 14 years my junior, so that’s like just your opinion, man. (I also have a suspicion you’re much younger than me, which I find amusing).

> I don't think anyone needs a degree anymore to get to where they're going.

There are plenty of professions outside of tech where formalized education is held in the same regard as 100 years ago. The “times have changed” thing is very much a tech bubblethink. Good luck entering medicine or academia without a degree. There are outliers in these fields but that isn’t anything new.
I think it depends... I've worked on interviewing and hiring candidates that come out of coding schools. It's generally those that go above and beyond the assigned homework that get hired. When you're working as a developer, most of the time you don't have a prescriptive answer and you need to figure it out. Sometimes it's not the best solution, but that is the point advice can be given on how to improve/mentor.

Self-drive is probably 50% of success as a software developer. 35% is knowing what some of the options are (prescriptive or otherwise) and the last 15% is aptitude. You can be a solid B level developer without any aptitude, but it requires more drive. YMMV.

Different people have different personalities. When I was 4yo, I broke the training wheels off my bicycle and figured it out myself because it felt like they were more in the way trying to ride. In my early career, I spent time removing obstacles and learning literally everything I could. I am self-taught, not higher education at all. Other people need more hand holding. Once you start working, you need to be able to jump into the deep end and at least tread water.
The industrial meat/ag complex loves that you think of their products as coming from the sort of happy pasture-grazing farms you see on the side of the highway.
Do not forget about ALDI - it is cheaper than Costco, does not require buying in bulk, but the quality is stable and generally well worth the money. ALDI is the place to go for the working class.
I do this, but seasonality can be an issue. The last few winters I've added some artificial lighting that ramps up before sunrise, with seemingly positive results.
