Probably both, I'd imagine. Regarding cost, Stripe was pretty outspokenly against Prop C in SF last year (which passed, to their dismay). The result is an added tax on revenue which hits Stripe hard since they have a high volume, low margin business. Not to mention CA is already a very expensive place to run a company.

With rising costs in SF, they likely had to explore viable long-term solutions. They can start moving more jobs to their other offices, open new secondary offices, or expand their remote presence. With remote, they're able to keep SF as the HQ while lowering costs. It's also popular among devs, so it'll keep their brand image good amongst their target demo and among their current employee base.

They clearly state in the article that this is because they aren't currently set up as well to accommodate remote people across disparate time zones, but are looking to resolve that.
The article states that by not coding at home you can “have a life, too”, implying you won’t have one if you code at home. This idea is repeated in the article, suggesting to me that it is more than just clickbait.

That’s dumb. Of course you can “have a life”, regardless of whether your hobbies include something you also get paid for. Denigrating folks as not having a “life” for this reason, even as a rhetorical device, is dumb.
It looks like all the first generation Leafs from the USA are now here in Ukraine, selling like hot cakes for around 20k USD. For that price, the range that is left on their now-degraded batteries seems just fine.
> Other example (my favorite, it was mindblowing when my teacher showed it to us on econometrics as a warning :) ) - gas pedal and speed of a car driving on a hilly road. Driver wants to drive near the speed limit, so he adjusts the gas pedal to keep the speed constant. Simplistic conclusion would be - speed is constant despite the gas pedal position changing therefore they are unrelated :)

I think that's Milton Friedman's Thermostat in case you want to search for it.
Exactly. There are few positions that most working economists share, but a disdain for rent control is one of them. It seems to make sense, but creates perverse incentives that lead to urban blight, a shortage of new housing, etc.

As Walter E. Williams said in 1987: "Short of aerial saturation bombing, rent control might be one of the most effective means of destroying a city."
No, but when you refuse to unlock it, it could mean that the device is confiscated indefinitely. Where an encrypted container, delivered over a cloud-storage provider is not immediately tied to you at the border.
This is a good product idea, but it should support video standup updates. That shouldn't be too difficult of a feature to add.
Im wondering what learnings has Stripe figured out that makes their remote workers as productive as their in-office employees.

Do they use things like OKR, slack,etc ? What works and what doesn't - is there a cognitive disconnect between remote teams and people who work in office .

Is there an expectation of minimum screen time expected from remote employees?
Serious question to any psychologists/sociologists lurking- why are women in engineering roles usually somewhat overweight?

Lack of visible participation is far from lack of participation. In the US due process requires the defendant's presence to commence a criminal trial.

Understood, but unless my perception is wrong there are many cases where individuals are defended without significant participation - whether it be because they're (arguably) incompetent to participate, decline to participate or for other reasons.

Criminal charges do not require the assent of the charged to proceed through the system.
IDK, but whenI hear "moves with ridiculous speeds, and angles and trajectories, with no visible means of propulsion"; then my first thought is that seems more akin to lens flare than it seems like an aeroplane.

Which is more likely in Occam's razor: a new source of refracted light, or a new kind of aircraft?
I'd say start with the basic command of goaccess and then you can add extra options to the command line as needed. We have ours on a big display at our office running real time with only the most relevant panels that fit our needs.

Overall the stats are pretty accurate, we did some tedious/manual analysis of our weekly access log and the counts displayed by goaccess are on a par with our data results.
Not trying to be mean here but don't you think some of these backers might have serious issues. The promise of an infinite alternate reality in space that will be everything you want it to be is alluring, especially to people who aren't having the greatest run in the real world. I think this is predatory and terrible.

Because it is the OS that broke backwards compatibility and caused the application to stop working.

That the kernel is used in "servers, computers, smartphones" and wherever else metric of popularity doesn't magically make applications run. Developers who work on libraries that are relied on by others to provide basic functionality (like GUIs) not breaking their APIs is what make applications run.

It is only mismanagement if it is judged by common goals such as returns for investors and shareholders or meeting deadlines for release to customers. Instead Star Citizen gives priority to the quality and richness of experience and have allowed that to determine the schedule.

Under any circumstances buying into a software prerelease is high risk. In this case the project lead has described this as his dream project and spoken of how quality will drive the schedule. Expecting such a strategy to deliver early or even on time seems optimistic.
Well the thing with flying overhead is that you see reality without interpretation, mindset filters or other kinds of viral intellectual memes that could jump from Earth cognitive Sphere to alien cognitive space.

Now when you talk to humans or worse connect to the internet, you get directly dirty with high bandwidth meme transfers. That's really really dangerous for aliens.

There are good arguments for styling native elements and against them. I don't think this is specific to the web, cross-platform GUI toolkits have had this challenge forever.

The current datepickers on the desktop are "consistent in the same browser across many sites". There is no native solution for "consistent in the same site across browsers", which makes a lot of designers and PHBs upset, doesn't always fit the overall look of the site, and makes it harder for developers because each browser brings its own quirks with formatting, localization, validation, etc.
No it's not, not if you want to want to claim to be a true professional.

I have never met a professional that only engages in their craft at work only. Professionals practice their craft all time especially outside work.

Work time is game time. Work time is not the time to engage in Research but strictly development. Unless you work for an R&D lab. It is the engaging in research instead of development that's the cause of software projects failing and having all sorts of issue. When it's D time, it's time to simply apply all the best principles that you know, nothing else.

This means, you must practice (research) off hours.

Can you imagine a math professor that only practices mathematics only when they teach? Or a musician that only plays music only during performance?

It's okay to only code at work if you are just a code monkey and not a professional. In that case, don't expect the high rewards of the industry, don't claim to be a "professional" granted that the definition of a professional is one that does it only for money.

Look at the very best in the industry, just think of them, name em. They all code outside of work. Jeff Dean, Norvig, Linus, Stallman, Carmack, Wolfram

Peakon | Senior Backend Engineers | Mobile Engineer (Android) | Engineering Manager | Data Scientist | Manual QA Engineer | ONSITE Copenhagen, DK

Peakon is the world's leading platform for measuring and improving Employee Engagement. We started Peakon to help companies around the world build better workplaces. We are a data company - not just a survey company - and this allows us to provide insights that will transform businesses.

As part of our company goals for 2019, we are scaling our Engineering and Product team and are currently looking for multiple roles:

* Multiple Senior Backend Engineers (https://peakon.workable.com/jobs/941871)

* Android Mobile Engineer (https://peakon.workable.com/jobs/726306)

* Frontend Engineering Manager (https://peakon.workable.com/jobs/741160)

* Data Scientist (https://peakon.workable.com/jobs/914473)

* QA Engineer (https://peakon.workable.com/jobs/947182)

Our tech stack of Peakon centres around Javascript, with Node.js on the server and React on the frontend. We believe there is great value in a shared toolchain across the stack, enabling engineers to work on all parts of the system. Some tasks are better solved with different tools, and thus we use Python for the data science parts of the system.

We are big fans of new JavaScript language features like async/await, and have made it a priority to stay up to date with the latest versions of Node. We are primarily hosted on Heroku and AWS, with an increasing number of our services moving to the latter. We use PostgreSQL (through RDS), Redis and ElasticSearch for storage.

Trust and transparency guide everything we do. At Peakon you’ll find a transparent salary model, unlimited vacation, minimal hierarchy, and maximum freedom to develop and execute your own ideas. Our style of collaboration is based on honesty and friendship, and we always love making new friends!
The downside is that evaluating potential versus using sales history or economic revenue is inherently subjective and ultimately disrespects property rights.

Ultimately, why should the owner of a vacant lot be compelled to sell or develop on the basis of the potential value?

And who decides the potential value? Should a 10 story hotel be taxed like a 100 story office tower? Should my $200k home be taxed like half of a 30 unit apartment block?

I think it's only the HN crowd that tries to look at side-projects from the monetization angle. (How else do you explain the frequent 'what's your side-business' posts? Also, this is a VC's site after all.) There are many computing cultures - people making games for gamejams, working on quines, writing code for GameBoys, contributing to Firefox, Arduino hackers. Maybe finding one of those groups will change your mindset?
An alternative is a chromebook. A few security folks I know power wash their cromebook, and then restore after they get to where they want to be.

This also means they're not carrying their usual laptop with a bunch of sensitive things on it... and honestly that a serious chunk of the data loss problem with security it seems, folks with lots of data that straight up doesn't need to go places....

Several of my employers had HR folks with their laptops stolen. Like why did the HR person need to take a laptop downtown... and leave it in their car ... with my SSN and everything else on it. Hell why do they need it on the laptop locally EVER? (well the answer is they don't know how to do anything except work in excel files, but that's is its own problem)
> Why not just allow the ports to C++ to happen?

I see two reasons why C++ is not a suitable language for domain specialists in numerical computing.

1. Programming in C++ requires a certain discipline to understand what is going on, for example to not accidentally make useless copies of huge arrays. In fortran you do not need to learn such a discipline because everything is explicit.

2. Fortran natively supports multidimensional numeric arrays. In C++, not really; you need to use "libraries" whose evolution is independent to that of the language and may become unsupported. A few years ago, everybody said to use "blitz", somewhat later it was "eigen", now it probably is something new. The C++ numerical code that you may write today will probably be obsolete in a few decades. Yet the fortran code will be alright. It is "eternal".
Yes those exist. However they are in general rare events though.

Putting "Registered Nurses" at the top of the list of occupations that are available without a bachelor's degree seems kind of misleading.

Yes, it is technically possible to become one without a bachelor's degree, but it does require a minimum of three-quarters of a bachelor's degree and it is becoming more and more common for new RNs to be required to go ahead and get a bachelor's.

This reminds me of the current omnigenic hypothesis about genes. That unexpectedly almost every gene seems to affect the expression of traits.

https://www.quantamagazine.org/omnigenic-model-suggests-that...

"Drawing on GWAS analyses of three diseases, they concluded that in the cell types that are relevant to a disease, it appears that not 15, not 100, but essentially all genes contribute to the condition. The authors suggested that for some traits, “multiple” loci could mean more than 100,000."

A friend and I bought some ships a few years ago because it looked neat and the scope was so huge that it could be fun. We try it every point release to see if we can spawn in the same area, get in a ship, and then go do stuff together. We figure even if the game is unfinished, get some friends in a ship, find some pirates, and we can make our own fun at least.

The most infuriating bits is the intense attention to detail and realism in an alpha. For example, you can never just do stuff in the universe, you have to put your character into a mode so you can interact with objects, so you can't just like, open a door by hitting x like you do on a normal game, you have to point your cursor to the handle and then hit a button, and so on. Take that to the extreme and you find yourself spending tons of toil trying to figure out how to do basic things like ... partying up with a friend. Oops, someone opened the back door of the ship and Billy didn't have his helmet on, so he's dead and respawns back at Port Olisar so it will take him 45m to get here, except his ship is out of gas so he's stuck in space forever.

Those kinds of mechanics would be fun, in a _finished game_ where that was a balanced, but for now even sending messages to people is annoying because each and every interaction with the universe is via their little holodevice wrist thing that looks cool, but is unusable.

In the past like 2-3 years we've never been able to successfully pile a group of people into a ship and move from point A to point B. People do it all the time in videos and stuff, but so far watching other people play on twitch is much more fun than trying to do it yourself.

Not on the form, but feel free to mention it to whoever you talk to.
I find it strange that the author didn't mention the incessant tracking and difficulty in making system changes. Note that in their quest to create a uniform installation, Microsoft has deliberately moved away from customization to the point of trying to ensure their look-and-feel (i.e. 'branding') doesn't get customized away.

Anyway, I paid $100 for the Win10 Pro update on my Dell Inspiron 17 box (my first Windows box since Win7 at work and XP64 at home) and am totally delighted to have finally jettisoned them for good. The laptop was Ubuntu-ready from the get-go and is user-servicable as well. Wiping the SSD was a true joy, as was installing and upgrading Ubuntu.

Ubuntu has been -- UI quirks aside -- an absolute dream to work with. Sure, I don't have Visual Studio but I'm an old vi guy anyway and while open source F# is just not the same as the Microsoft version, OCAML, C/C++, and Python give me all the programming tools I could ever need.

Goodbye, Microsoft, you can shove your MBAs whereever you'd like on your way to obsolescence.
Compat libraries are band-aid to the real problem that is the developers of the libraries not caring about backwards compatibility and the only fix is to cultivate a culture of caring about backwards compatibility instead of writing excuses. Compat libraries are only applicable to a few libraries (where are the Gtk1-compat libraries?) and all they do is freeze the API in time without any updates to the provided functionality (where are the SDL1-compat libraries that work seamlessly with alt-tab in desktop environments, like SDL2 does?).

With 2.2 Billion in remaining cash and $700 million loss in Q1, it was clear that Tesla needed to raise more money to survive. Tesla can't take 3 more quarters of that kind of cash burn.

Assuming Tesla improves their cash flow, this new +$1.5 Billion raise will provide Tesla with another 1 to 2 years to turn the company around... for a total of 3ish years worth of cash reserves.

Remember the key profitability calculation from years past: 5000 Model 3 Cars / week is the break-even point. (Its a very blurry estimate, Tesla managed to be profitable with ~4500 M3 cars in Q3 2018... margins and other services may change that). With cheaper cars and fewer cash credits, maybe the new profitability point will be ~6000 cars/week instead. But that's Tesla's overriding goal.

Tesla is currently selling 2500 Model 3 Cars / week based on latest estimates. A drop from Q3 2018. USA is at the end of a car cycle, so the USA is dropping sales in general (this is why Ford and GM shut down so many of their factories, in preparation for this cyclical downturn). Tesla is feeling the effects of this as their sales drop. They HAVE to get Chinese and European sales numbers up now, to make up for the loss of American sales.
> For instance it's common for a woman retracting her claim (i.e. saying she wasn't raped after all) to not be considered a false accusation, although there was an accusation, and the woman later decided her accusation should not stand.

I don't like that wording. False and withdrawn mean different things. Withdrawn due to pressure happens, perhaps that is very often as well as your theory at the end.
I think it's more likely that the next season, everyone else would be doing the extra pedal thing too. That's kinda how F1 works. Someone comes up with an innovation, and the next season it's either banned or universally adopted.
Everyone knows you can't prevent piracy/copycats forever, but it was likely built into whatever they built the game with, or wasn't too difficult to add.

Yes a determined person could still get to them but it helps buy you some time as your game launches.
