It depends what you're comparing to. Doing a lot of round trips during code review is extremely costly, particularly when you're separated by many time zones and you only get one round trip a day at best. Getting a patch in can take many days.

Telling someone to change the code (and maybe having them misunderstand) is often less efficient than changing it yourself, due to the extra round trips.

If you're sitting right next to each other, some other technique like pair programming is going to be a lot faster.

I make those a pretty broad category -- "email" "time waste" (that one's just for me). If the time tracker is simplistic and intuitive enough, then it doesn't have to be a headache.
Do people really envy others like this and make themselves miserable over it?
Yes, it’s fairly evident by what’s popular: Instagram,Facebook,Snapchat etc...
These are platforms meant to “connect” people but more often than not it’s just a method for “keeping up with the Joneses”

I'd go so far to say that almost no (real) problem is that type of problem. Maybe problems that are mostly inconsequential, sure.
For those wondering what is a side-channel attack : here is a definition from Wikipedia :

In computer security, a side-channel attack is any attack based on information gained from the implementation of a computer system, rather than weaknesses in the implemented algorithm itself (e.g. cryptanalysis and software bugs). Timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks or even sound can provide an extra source of information, which can be exploited.

Yeah I am a bit surprised, though I do see many of these examples around me. I have several peers into their late 20's receiving support, many in the NYC area as well.

My parents put a roof over my head, valued education, helped with most all of my tuition for undergrad (over 100k), I have 7k of student loan debt left to pay off and I am 26. Right now, I am only left on their phone plan, which I just venmo my dad monthly for, 50 bucks for unlimited on Verizon and I bought my phone off of Swappa for 200 bucks (I recommend Swappa as well, save your money)

I've also seen parents feed junkies, so there's that. I don't understand the ones not working, yet going out all the time, no money management, doing drugs....parents sending money... WHY?!?!
If you’re really making 2-3x and there’s really nothing to do you should just stay and milk it. Work on your own stuff or job hunt during the day.
> There is one thing that annoys me about generic TLDs like .dev, .website, .cloud, .network

And this doesn't annoy you about '.com' or '.org'?

'pets.com' is owned by petsmart, and they're sure not the only pet store. Practically every generic sounding '.com' has been taken and has the "issue" you cite. 'x.org' was registered in the early 90s, and the Xorg foundation certainly isn't the only 'X' out there.

It's a little too late to protest now, this problem has existed since the dawn of the domain name system.

Thanks for the comments and questions.

Our thinking follows, what we call a ‘venture client’ approach, through which startups get a valuable asset, a globally operating reference customer, without a hassle. For instance, we use an expedited procurement process and leaner legal approach in POs. The industrial companies, on the other hand, get to apply new technologies and talent quicker in building new services, solutions and products that can add value to their customers or other stakeholders.

Venture Client approach also means, that when announce a business opportunity, we also make sure there’s significant need from the company, budget to make purchase order (revenue for the startup) and team in place to act fast given there’s a solid applicable solution. Venture Client also means that the industrial company understands there’s associated risk in building something new with startups - but also major upsides in time-to-value if done succesfully.

So far our approach has been warmly welcomed by startups and investors. We aim to keep it simple, fast and fair. We have plenty of references which we are adding to our website, some you can already access on our site.

Needless to say, this might not be of interest to all entrepreneurs or startups but there might be plenty of those who could benefit from the approach.
Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone. The number of followers alone doesn't matter, the quality of them does. If this was 60,000 connections in the market of his business, he has done himself some egregious harm. I'm a limited data point, but I did notice that when I left Facebook, some people took it personally. Especially the ones I interacted with often. Imagine someone liking all your posts, then you announce that you are leaving the platform. What does it say to them? Do you not want to connect with them anymore? Maybe there is a type of social media black sheep effect as well.
> The opposite might also be very true, where if the manager is working harder than what is expected/accepted, people will follow and do the same too.

I think this is a serious risk for unlimited PTO. It's easy to miss, because well-meaning managers are least likely to notice the problem. Sure they were busy and came in all year, but they genuinely wanted their reports to take more time off!

In that sense, it almost has to be a responsibility at the management level; visibly booking time off and disconnecting is part of making a PTO policy usable for everyone else. Fortunately, it's the sort of responsibility that also helps keep management and founders from burning out or already being exhausted when crunches do hit.
It's likely not really about licensing. They have a contract with the publisher that presumably allows them to do certain things and doesn't allow them to do others. (I know that's been the case when I've signed a book contract.) Presumably, in this case, they're allowed to publish the full contents in web form on their site but not to publish them in a form that would allow someone to easily print the entire contents in book form.

I make no argument against YouTube being basically a free-speech zone, and I wouldn't suggest banning people for purely ideological reasons, because I agree that that would be against the American Ideal.

That said, if I were hosting my own video-sharing website, there's no way in hell I would recommend a white-supremacist video, or even a flat-earth video. If people find it on their own, that's on them, but for the same reason that I personally wouldn't pass along flyers for thedailystormer, I wouldn't promote someone like Alex Jones.

I could do my job in 2 of the 5 workdays

(I need a new job)

I spend time learning, reading, etc at work
I've had a job like this. IMO it's okay to stay in this type of job as long as you are able to use the spare time and energy for your personal life, side projects, personal or career growth, etc. If you are forced to sit in an office and look busy, find another job.

It's also important to leave before you turn into that person who does barely anything for 10 years and are then unemployable. Unless you are okay with that. But you are asking on HN, so I'm guessing you are not okay with it.

>My sense of purpose is slowly but surely going away as I spend my days doing things that could be done so much more efficiently but that no one wants to improve. I have not had a real challenge at work for quite a long time now.

To paraphrase something posted on HN "Find a way to wind your own gears." I had a job like yours and I grew increasingly frustrated with the lack of control and the number of people who actually made things worse in their effort to control things. This job came soon after a challenging/interesting but really bad job (crazy work hours, toxic boss).

I was ready to quit the new job, but I had some stuff going on in my personal life so I ended up finding a career coach to explore where I was, how I got there, and where I wanted to go. It helped me find ways to wind my own gears. Part of that was realizing how much of my own growth had some from my own initiative and learning, not only from my job. I had to find ways to be true to my values despite being in a job where I felt my values were violated in a regular basis.

For example, we had a project where we had to process a large quantity of data. What followed was 6+ months of meetings and nonsense as people chased after building a big data stack and trying to build something that could solve all the companies data problems (hint: After more than a year nothing useful was delivered, but the PowerPoints were amazing)

Partly though the project I thought about how the solution might run on my laptop and spent two weeks building it in Python. I never told anybody what I did. But I learned a lot(!!) more about handling large quantities of data that I ever would have trying to influence that nonsense big data project.

>I spend most of my days having to wait for other people/companies or procrastinating which drives me crazy.

I think the important thing is to find a way to not let it drive you crazy. Channel that frustration into something useful for yourself. Lots of people will say "You have an opportunity to improve things and show them how it's done." But sometimes doing that is useless and not worth the energy. It can be like trying to use logic to convince a toddler to change their mind - the stupid person in that situation is not the toddler!

Also, realize that the vast majority of jobs are dealing with politics, waiting for other people, etc. It's important to find a way to deal with that without driving yourself crazy.
I'm fortunate to be in a place where our time-tracking is not expected to add up to 40 (or 80) hours a week. I log the work items I do, which sometimes is six hours and sometimes is one hour a day.
What's scary to me is that after 10 attempts at the landline over a period of time, I would have (correctly but unhelpfully) concluded that he was away for Christmas and abandoned that approach. My Uncle was more persistent.

In this case I think it was less knowledge of the particular case, and more the expertise in that specialised situation. Skillset rather than records.
"non-colluding entity"

Colluding? What the heck are you talking about?
Oh, but it is.

With one of my customers, I had a week when I consistently reported "designing the new model for $thing-that-drives-our-product", sometimes additionally with "and I spend some time talking with $product-guy and $coworker about the design". As a side effect of the design process, I produced a bunch of concept documents and drawings, which once the overall goal was clear, I transformed into barebones interactive prototypes testing experimentally some design points. So the next week, my daily reports were "aaand, I also did this prototype to test out $design-concern" (to which the universal reaction was "oooh, shiny! <3"). Two weeks, zero code for the actual product, just couple pages of text and a lot of garbage JavaScript in prototypes.

This is how work sometimes look. A good manager will accept your vague description, trusting that something of value commensurate with time spent will come out from the other end. As long as you actually deliver, a sane manager will not mind.

(That said, if asked for details, I always could explain what my main concerns and areas of exploration were at any point in the design process. The story about what you were doing is proportional to how much work you actually put in. If you can't elaborate beyond "I was thinking about $X", maybe you weren't really thinking about it? Conversely, I find forcing myself to write down and structure my thoughts to be an excellent way to unblock myself when my mind is running circles, or feels like watching Netflix instead.)
> It would be ludicrous to outlaw unlimited PTO policies just because some people don't like them.

I can appreciate this opinion if you've had a good experience with an Unlimited PTO policy, but regulation isn't for the best experiences. Unlimited PTO is an HR/Marketing dark pattern.

EDIT: > It's disappointing so many people want to ruin things for everybody because they've worked at crappy companies in the past.

@jlarocco: I am disappointed you prioritize protecting your arrangement than the well being of others at crappy companies. As I mention in my other comments in-thread, you can still arrive at something similar to "Unlimited PTO" while still instituting regulations to prevent worker abuse (minimum PTO days issued + a process to request additional days). I do not understand the disdain for regulation that simply enforces what is being offered.
But this article is working in the opposite direction -- attempting to take people's ego down a notch and convince them success is not a result of their agency.

I get the feeling that the article is steeped in a value system based around the ego. But, if we take it for granted that the ego is important, shouldn't we be happy when people have elated egos? Why try to bring them down?

And, if we don't agree that the ego is important, why even ask these questions to begin with?

> The total cost of the program, raised from private donations, is $100 million, a small fraction of the billions of dollars invested in the US space program.

It is unclear if this is referring to current or past (space race era) investment in the US space program. Regardless, I think it is an unfair comparison.

Given NASA's current goals (_not_ moon landings) compared to the simple goal of this program (a moon landing), it is unreasonable to compare the two programs in the present day. If they are comparing the investment of SpaceIL today versus the US in the 60s, it again seems fallacious as the cost of a moon landing today is definitely much less than the cost during the space race.

SpaceIL did not have to conduct research in areas which the US and Soviet space programs did have to because SpaceIL could rely on these past programs' research. To further compare the Apollo missions to this, the US space program launched their own crafts, they were not able to lessen the cost by contracting SpaceX.

Absolutely. When I first read about Bitcoin back in 2010 I loved the concept but didn't buy in until 2013. I've happily supported and followed other crypto projects. I've bought into about 5 but follow about 10-15 of them closely.

An overnight crypto miracle won't happen, by the way. Money is too important and requires too much trust for an overnight success to occur.

Every year that the BTC network runs without a major exploit, is another year of confidence in the network protocol's security. Unlike some software categories that are prone to rapid disruption, money is not one of those things.

Disruption occurs a lot slower for very important reasons. People have to trust in a crypto currency in order to store value in it and exchange value for it. That takes time, to test in production if any major exploits exist.

It's not trivial what Bitcoin has accomplished this far.
This seems like a long-term recipe for disaster for Amazon.

This is objectively false. I know a lot of successful people who haven't had any help whatsoever, starting with $0 and building their later successful business on the side while working full-time. In fact, I barely know anyone who had their rent paid by their parents at all (since that seems to be the argument here).
Everything I said is true for Google Registry too... and anywhere else Google sells domains. They each should be ensuring domain portability for their respective customers and so far they're not doing that.
I'm in the UK, so £27k for a three year degree, and cost of living and any commitments for the period. It becomes a huge gamble, even if you don't need to debt fund it, if you are coming back into the workplace with only 10 or 15 years to run.

When I look at friends who got out of tech, which is now more of them than didn't, I see age taking away choices. Switch before 40s, a fully new career on the back of a degree or training to become whatever seems possible. Leave it later in 40s and 50s and it seems there's fewer choices and far more frustration around it, and the odd mid life crisis.
I've always thought that it was almost impossible to be fired if you were tenured. But, after reading this article, I got the impression that a tenured position is a precarious one at best, that requires slavish devotion to politics to avoid getting fired. Am I missing something here?
IANAL, but as Matt Levine (Bloomberg columnist who is a lawyer) says: (paraphrased) "insider trading isn't about unfairness but theft of information". If you're providing information but not stealing it then it's not necessarily akin to insider trading.

I trust Sander’s political positions over all other candidates, and if we get a good three years of Bernie and 1 year of his choice of VP, I’m ok with that. He’s clear and right about most issues and he’s right that climate change is the number 1 issue and he’s the only one saying that.
I would hate that environment. I don't want to have to guess if I'm doing enough. I don't want to guess if I'm working 20 days more a year than another employee or 10 days less. I just want a negotiated amount of time off. If it's 10 days a year or 50 days a year at least know I can take them off 100% guilt free. If it's "take as much as you want" there will always be those who abuse the policy and those who under utilize.

Does anyone know why?
In your first comment, "Some fail and end up in worse states emotionally & financially." which I responded to with my what-if, which was "But what about those who have failed their suicide attempt and eventually end up in a good place and live a happy, normal rest of their life?"

"I know for a fact the belief of everyone should continue living because the "what if game of it may get better" is irrational." What part of believing in a better future is irrational? Or more irrational than someone wanting to end their own life? We can end the conversation if it continues to a nihilistic viewpoint where death is the only true solution to things.

Your co-worker/friend's situation is unfortunate. I lived 3 years with someone who longed for death for nearly their entire adult life. In that time they believed they were acting rationally, that things would not get better and that they were irreparably broken; the only solution to them was death. They had been through numerous psychiatrists and eventually ended up at one who was able to properly diagnose them as having a form of bipolar disorder. They received prescription treatment and the longing for death ended.

I understand there are extreme differences in gender dysphoria and bipolar disorder, but just because their current state, or the current system is unable to help her, doesn't mean death is the correct answer. We should focus on improving mental healthcare rather than opening up the choice of death to those we're currently unable to provide help for.

Where do the people you know live? That might inform the probability of being able to buy a home with or without parental help.

I just picked a metro: Baton Rouge. Median home price there is around $160k, although naturally there is plenty of inventory available for less than $100k. Some of it's in pretty dismal shape, but, looking at Zillow, there are non-zero houses in this category that look livable. The median HHI in Baton Rouge is $45k. So it would take about four years for the median family to save up enough to buy something that's at least livable, assuming they can save ten percent of their income.

I couldn't say whether blue collar people make at, above, or below the median, but it strikes me as likely that at least some of them will be able to purchase a home in this type of metro.
Patent Exhaustion and Open Source
So, any suggestion on what the voltage from that port would be. That was my hang up. Since the multimeter wouldn't register, I was just guessing. I started at 5v similar to the shutter release, but never could get a reading from it to register on my Arduino.
Of course there are people that are actually self made but they are outliers. That's the point of the article. At least in the US the vast majority of people in the highest income brackets were born to families already in those brackets.
