I acknowledge that the company decided to trade productivity for saving money on office space, and then I accept that their choice limits me to 50% of my usual working speed. Maybe I bring this up once, but if my managers dismiss my concern, then I accept that the company wants to pretend that there is no tradeoff. Accepting these things makes it a bit easier to not worry so much.

In your specific case? Let your manager know that this task requires more focus than usual, and ask them if they would prefer that you book a conference room for 4 days or WFH for 4 days in order to concentrate on it.

Honestly, I think the only way to stop this idiocy around open offices is for all of us to get ADHD diagnoses, and to claim a private, quiet space as a necessary accommodation for disability.
For example: There's a 95% chance I forgot about my tea and it ended up cold. We now ask "Do you expect my tea to be cold?" and can ask "On a scale of not certain to very certain, how certain are you?" I'm very certain my tea is cold. Now to forget it in the microwave.

I disagree. Most of HN is interested in climate change. Real solutions to Climate change = political no matter what. Article explains both sides and a good discussion could be had for what mistakes had been made and how to fix them for the next round. I found a neutral article on purpose.

Edit: on second thought I agree, this was just political maneuvering, no progress on climate change.

If you are going to be looking at code a lot more than you are going to be writing it. In most cases you will be looking at code in attempt to ascertain a larger pattern that is being used in a code base so you can follow suite. Looking at code to see how a library is actually used will be the least (very least) of your worries and will become super second nature.

It's entirely possible that this is true for you, but generally speaking the precise opposite is true.
They don't even need to look abroad. Plenty of the flyover country and the south eastern USA would work Cali hours and accept probably half or less the pay for a better qol than can be had in the Bay area.

Central VA has UVA and VTech, half the people I work with went to one, the other, it both. A lot of them pull maybe $100,000/year. Around my area that's a pretty comfortable pay, few acres and 3000sqft would cost maybe 150k all in.
Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
I've long used 1Password--and have loved it--but unfortunately need to stop using it due to the price.

In the meantime, I've used pass [1] with a yubikey, which works great, but miss the convenience of using a fingerprint to authenticate.

I've heard a lot about Bitwarden. I don't love the android app, and I'd miss the simplicity of pass [1], but maybe I should go with it regardless?

What password manager(s) do HN readers use?

The honeybee origin is African rainforests, there are a few of other honeybees species native from Asian rainforests also.

Some families of plants native of Europe use bees, other not. Is more about plant phylogeny than about geography. Similar species of flowers in other areas are quickly adopted by bees when available.
The submission was flagged by users. Moderators downweighted it the way we downweight all sensationalist flamewar articles (if we didn't, they would always be all the top stories on HN). But it is the user flags that buried it.

Articles and sites like this one are off topic for Hacker News. We're looking for articles that gratify intellectual curiosity, not ones that gin up flamewars, let alone nationalistic flamewars. Submissions to Hacker News need to be much, much more substantive than this—most of all on divisive topics.

This is obviously a single-agenda, highly politicized site; we ban all of those, regardless of their politics. We also ban accounts that only use HN to promote their own site (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=subsonico). Indeed, on second look, it's clear that this account and this site have simply been spamming HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18381256, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17834767. We should have caught that a long time ago. (Edit: and even the current article turns out to be blogspam from another source.)

We don't moderate stories about China differently than any others. HN moderation standards are consistent to the point of tedium. There is inconsistency in practice, but only because of the quantity of material that appears here—way more than we could ever hope to read or even see.

Users with strong opinions are quick to convince themselves that they see bias, because the stronger your feelings on a topic, and especially the more you dislike something, the more this affects what you notice. Plenty of stories critical of things in China spend plenty of time on HN's front page (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19493033 has spent most of today on the front page). If you've noticed those at all, I'm sure they didn't attract as much of your attention as this one getting flagged. Readers with opposite views to yours feel equally certain that HN is heavily biased against China—and frankly, based on the stories that appear here, they have a better case for their claim than you do.

"Sam Altman's China strategy", whatever that is, has nothing to do with HN. Our sole "strategy" is to maintain an internet message board that doesn't choke to death on its fumes while burning to death from its flames. That is already a feeble enough hope that we have no bandwidth for anything else.

Edit: having just taken a look at your comment history, I'm dismayed to see that this account has also have been using HN exclusively for nationalistic and political battle. As I'm sure you know, this is not allowed on HN and we ban accounts that do it. Worse, you appear to have done it numerous times before. When people create accounts to break HN's guidelines like that, we eventually ban their main account as well. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended from now on, we'd appreciate it.

Etc, etc. Zip codes in the US are text strings, that happen to be composed of the digits 0-9 and a hyphen.
Not sure I agree with your premise, but even if it was true, couldn't one simply balance their profile with more stocks from developing markets and be back to average?

Generally yes, but actually porting this is probably a fun pet project that could be done in a few weeks for fun to find the secret number for 42 :). It's too bad the paper doesn't have a GitHub link.
>but the issue with society defining rights is that you end up letting the mob decide the "right" of green eyed people to live has just become a privilege.

That's what those in power try to sell, who think they know better, and that the people are savage animals that need to be kept in place.

In reality, the worse atrocities have been performed not by mobs, or at least not by mobs on their own, but by well educated, powerful people. All those gentlemen slave owners in the South, all those smooth talking Nazi higher ups (with support from Germanys financial elites), the higher echelons of USSR Party power, colonial gentlemen, and so on. Mobs have nothing on them.

>Rights stem from nature, and exist with, or without society.

There are no rights in nature -- something anyone who ventures outside of society (in a jungle, in the woods, etc) will very soon find out. Nobody in nature (outside of a human community) will ever protect their live to live, property, or anything else.

Rights are a social contract, made because man is a conscious, social, animal. The problem is that the contract is more often than not, presented like Terms of Use, already written from those in power.

I disagree. At some point, such a company effectively becomes the same as a government. I think that's hugely problematic.
You need customers signed up and ready to pay well before you have a product ready to launch. Having a co-founder who is good at outreach, sales, and making connections is honestly more important than having a finished product, so you should give serious weight to having a non-technical co-founder. There is no company without sales!
it's also going to depend on how you define "market". At some point at high salaries you're looking at pretty narrow/specialized skills, and 'the market' may only be a handful of qualified people in a given geography.
First you need to digg deep to see things from his perspective and acknowledge to him that it is how he is feeling, then the conversation will open up more. (Empathy), next try and restart the conversation by apologizing and ask a question that gets him to say no, so he feels he is in control. Then follow it up with an open ended question like “what is your sister supposed to do?” because he felt some sense of control from the previous question, he may concede something on his own. Make sure you prepare the questions and not wing it.

My wife has been at amazon (aws) about two years now.

She worries about her customers' problems, and is obsessed with using the right tools to solve them. Unless she is a great actor she has had a fantastic time there.

Edit: Should say "go somewhere that is known to allow it for all engineers".

Interesting that they decided to acquire the company rather than just become a customer. Perhaps they saw strategic value of depriving other potential customers?

I don't know why this has so much hate. It doesn't seem like the best piece of legislation, but it does address a serious issue that has gone ignored for far too long.

YouTube really built an empire on copyrighted content, and still continues to profit from it, as a result of liability shield that the DMCA provides. It has never sat well with me.

Today YouTube no longer relies on copyrighted content to be relevant. User generated content is now the primary source of views and ad revenue, but that wasn't always so. I remember when YouTube was the place to go to watch The Daily Show, SouthPark, SNL, and a host of other things. That's how YouTube became popular. This, "It's okay to break the law as long as the end result does more good than harm," is a weird line of thinking that seems to permeate a host of tech startups these days. And in the case of YouTube, while it's true that copyrighted content infringement is no longer their business driver, there's still a large portion of content that is copyrighted and YouTube shouldn't be profiting from that for no reason.

If YouTube was a public utility, as many people—particularly "creators"—seem to want to treat it things might be different. But YouTube isn't a public utility. Letting users hide behind anonymous accounts shouldn't magically absolve you of liability.

I think letting things develop the way they have probably did more good than harm at the end of the day, but I'm not sure that justifies it—and I don't think it should just be allowed to continue.
I feel like your "fire" and "totalitarian" examples are confusing, entirely off-base and non-illustrative of anything useful to this conversation.

Why? Because the difference between copyleft and non-copyleft licenses isn't akin to censorship vs no-censorship. The argument for the copyleft is more akin to the arguments for laws in general: someone's absolute freedoms needs to be troddened on to have a free society.

I similarly fail to see how a copyleft is a power to abuse. Surely the ability to close the source of an application has more power that can be abused?
Your claim that OSS is effectively proprietary software immediately loses half your audience, because most people in the OSS camp have the opposite experience (that FSF leads to monopolistic SaaS companies spying on you).

I'm not saying either tribe is right, so let's skip past the tribalism.

What we need is not new OSS/FSF, what we need is new economic models that are capable of measuring the value of OSS/FSF.

I'm so tempted to just respond with "wanker", though I know HN norms don't allow that. Either the code is for human consumption (in which case, fulfil that goal) or you're writing demoscene assembler which displays virtuosity without any positive impact on society.
I graduated HS in 2007. I think I had 2 friends with iPhones, in an affluent town in Connecticut. My first smartphone was an iPhone 4 in 2010. It was still probably another year before smartphones were ubiquitous amongst my friend group.

And then there is the question how "for profit" is defined.
From skimming, it looks to me like the examples are facing the other way: they're there to help you grasp the mathematics.

Would also be curious to hear of practical applications of heavy-duty topology, if anyone can think of some.
> First of all, it allows hardware vendors to be lazy.

This completely ignores the fact that most hardware vendors have no financial incentive to make driver updates for hardware that you have no choice to replace because it's a chip embedded in your phone and they get to choose between forcing you to pay them more money for a new one _or_ spending money for no reason to update the drivers for old hardware. Breaking compatibility very demonstrably does not get mobile device vendors to ship updates, but it _does_ fuck the device owners. Let the driver that works just fine keep working just fine! Don't make a billion people suffer on old kernels because you think that a hardware vendor should do extra work to support a chip that they already made their money from just because you decided to break something that was working just fine before you made your change.
The name is source available and you don't need to have a movement for that. I don't see any schims here, essentially it is a more transparent version of freemium where you also can see the code and that's all decades old.

Source transparency? Maybe we can popularize the idea that it's considered an altruistic act for tech media companies to escrow their source with academic organizations? This would help academics and museums preserve the exact media experience of each generation.

From the article: Somewhere along the way, Open Source ran into a problem that many movements face: the members of the movement no longer understood the ideology that created the movement in the first place.

Why shouldn't the values change? If people share source for prestige/recognition, to benefit from "more eyeballs" and to share the maintenance expense of shared infrastructure/libraries -- what's wrong with that? Society still benefits. The world isn't the same place where Stallman first thought of GNU. Why should the exact same ideology apply? What's wrong with some evolution?
To be fair, operations becomes a much bigger deal as you get bigger. It’s not just the app, it’s having your infrastructure not fall over (because 0.1% failure rate means losing a lot of money)

Think of all the random bugs you’ve seen in your job and told yourself “eh, this would take someone 2 weeks to fix and is almost never hit by customers”
I wonder if the "third movement" will take a similar form to that held by many Rust projects: openly available source + structure to encourage and maintain contributions (mentorship programs, openly available discussion of design possibilities, things like the Rust Code of Conduct which have learned from internet-based communities of the last 3 decades?).

Would it be fair to argue that a flaw of the FSF is that it focuses on making free software (per FSF definition), but does not focus on how to encourage the maintenance and development of free software? It doesn't seem to focus on the creation of contributors: i.e. teaching new people how to fish, in the free software way, and thus it is a movement that is vulnerable to the ravages of time?
Google is really purposefully trying to piss people off
Maybe it will allow them to simplify the menu. Also, they have a case-study on their work with Hello Fresh that talks about how they worked to acquire, basically, unique ID for customers (not sure why that should have been any technical challenge, but anyway...) If that is an initial focus & precursor to their services, I can imagine that they will capture license plate numbers and associate them with each order. Then, the next time you pull up, you're shown a customized (and simplified) menu based on your likely preferences.

> YouTube really built an empire on copyrighted content

The current content gatekeepers built their studios by violating Edison's patents. In fact many innovators got started by subverting copyright restrictions in some form.

Perhaps that tells you something.

Also, it's not a one-way street. YT is a platform where artists can effectively reach a worldwide audience for free, something their publishers would have to pay handsomely for before, in the form of prime-time ad spots on multiple TV networks.

I doubt anybody really writes 'POSIX' anymore, if that helps.

What they do, more typically, is 'Write Linux software'. If they care about POSIX they will try to ignore features they don't think was mentioned in some POSIX manual from 20 years ago. It's all very hand-wavy.

This is why you see the major operating systems advertise Linux software compatibility rather then paying for POSIX certifications. AIX, Solaris, Windows, etc. Sure it's not a official standard, but it's going to be pretty well defined because you can just model your compatibility on WWLD.

If push comes to shove then Fuchsia could just add some variation of 'usermode linux' as one of those userspace kernel services.

This was THE major contribution of the "Open Source" movement to FLOSS dev practices: the open Bazaar vs. the Cathedral. FSF was Cathedral-like (shaped by the model of academia) and really struggled to adopt the more effective and more open dev methodologies that were first demonstrated by e.g. Linux and other net-driven projects - it's why the Hurd kernel is still not out today, after 30 years or so of development effort.

Teaching newbies how to "fish" in the OSS community is also something that saw a lot of focus as soon as the issue became clear in the 1990s, as the microcomputer community started getting internet links and interacting with the pre-existing free-software and hacker communities. We see a summary of this viewpoint e.g. in ESR's "Hacker-HOWTO" http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
