Some care is needed though, because neither the poor butchering the rich classes with machetes during a revolt care about political correctness either...

How about, "less tourism, whether upper or middle class"?

I'd like to see wannabe tourists earn the right to travel, as opposed to it being the default or just what money buy you. Maybe a cultural exam based on the destination? Make people work for it. Of course that's not in the interest of huge tourism industries, domestic or abroad.

People that travel just to drink cheep beer or expensive champagne in another country, could always just stay at home and drink there.
If you pay for enterprise support with Amazon you can open a case with a less than 15 minute SLA [1]. With business that goes down to an hour SLA. With both plans you can create chats or calls that typically get answered within a matter of minute with and assigned to an engineer with a background in the service.

This is something I rarely see talked about. How do you hire a grad or junior dev who is remote? How do you mentor them and (over years) help them grow into a senior dev?

From where I sit, "remote first" is all too often a code word for "only senior devs need apply".
I believe you are confusing the conclusions from the original paper with the claims from this paper. I think this is the case because this paper removes TypeScript from their dataset entirely:

"4.1.2 Removal of TypeScript. In the original dataset, the first commit for TypeScript was recorded
on 2003-03-21, several years before the language was created. Upon inspection, we found that
the file extension .ts is used for XML files containing human language translations. Out of 41
projects labeled as TypeScript, only 16 contained TypeScript. This reduced the number of commits from 10,063 to an even smaller 3,782. Unfortunately, the three largest remaining projects
(typescript-node-definitions, DefinitelyTyped, and the deprecated tsd) contained only declarations and no code. They accounted for 34.6% of the remaining TypeScript commits. Given the small
size of the remaining corpus, we removed it from consideration as it is not clear that we have
sufficient data to draw useful conclusions."
You're giving away my secrets! I've bought 3 of these types of HP workstations over the years, starting with a Z210 with a Xeon E3-1240. I added a graphics card to make it a super budget gaming PC.

My most recent one is an HP Z420 workstation with 128GB of ECC memory, an 8-core Xeon, and Win10 Pro installed for $620 delivered. Benchmarks of the CPU show its comparable to a Ryzen 1700X in single and multi core, but I really bought it for the RAM. It's a great machine for homelab-type virtualization.
I've seen absolutely magical things happen with smart people sharing a proximal space.

I fully acknowledge the merits, tradeoffs, and viability of a remote workforce and have been remote, worked with others who were remote, seeing success and failure in both.

That being said, I've never seen truly magical things happen the way they happen when people are together. For the work, the team, and the way I want the experience for work to feel, nothing beats having folks together in the same space. Of course, YMMV.
If you’re ok with a mobile workstation, i grabbed a refurbished P52 on ebay. They go up to xeon (6 core) and you can stuff a ton of ram in there. You can’t get one if these models without a quadro video card unfortunately so that does mark up the price, but it should be useful for running the emulator. And lastly an Nvme SSD - if you have all those it should work well, but i cant comment on the thermal longevity as to whether it might throttle during a long build as it’s been many years since ive done a AOSP build or anything that heavy. I got mine for 1800ish USD but i added some ram on top. It was definitely overkill for what I do, but I think it would suit your case well.
How is proper management a temporary solution? If the Louvre decided to control the number of people seeing the Mona Lisa through ticket prices, they can simply continues to increase prices as more people want to see it. This will simply generate more revenue.
I understand your frustration (I'm a father of two young boys).

However, as an app developer it's super tough to make any money if you aren't the top 10 paid kids apps or games. The market is not huge.

For my own kids, I've resorted to drawing apps. Simple calligraphy apps with very few options can keep a toddler busy for a while. Plus you can draw and have them guess, pictionary style.

Why does Helm require users to have their location turned on? I use bluetooth on Android all the time with my location kept off.
I am really looking forward to the day we can replace chemical herbicides with weed-hunting robots. It seems such a huge market opportunity... little, inexpensive bots that can roam a field, picking out weeds the moment they appear as seedlings, never touching the crop itself, not putting anything in the soil.

When I was a kid growing up in central Illinois in the 1970s, before Roundup, "walking beans" was a common summer job for kids. You'd go out into soybean fields with some tools and rip out everything that wasn't a soybean plant. Of course, spraying chemicals is cheaper than hiring a busload of kids, so that's just a memory now.
If you ignore both of those constituencies and focus, then you have this editorial, that talks about the risks in terms of science and how it is interpreted by various regulator bodies.

I count at least 6 links to prominent journals and 2 links to publications by the WHO and the EPA/EFSA. The author is a physicist and former editor of Nature.

You're not accounting for population size.

The relevant growth % is the total number of life-years being funded by retirement.

Since the total populaton of US in 1950 was 150, and is 300 million today -- assuming equal distribution of ages -- that's a 4x increase in life-years to fund.

ie., 2x for population size, and 2x for length of retirement

And worse, the distribution isnt equal, ie., there are more of the population today in retirement than in 1950.

So it's at least 4x the number of years, and probably closer to 6x.
>US education only makes sense for rich students, who want to study for a few years and return.

I want to add that it doesn't make sense at all for funded PhD students, whose advisors draw a lot of funds from the state and federal governments to support them. We're spending a lot of public money educating international students, then forcing that talent and investment out the door when they're done. Why not keep them in the country for a bit to innovate for American companies and pay income taxes?
I will try to listen to this later, but until then I don't know if they address this:

> If there had been an intermediate destination between the Moon and Mars for us to work towards after Apollo, things might have gone differently, but you work with the Solar System you're dealt.

That's cool that you can tell. $10 is 2% of my monthly electric bill. Do you turn your machine off or let it go into deep sleep? I tend to leave the stuff on all the time to minimize heating/cooling cycle stress . It's probably led to some premuturely dried out electrolytics (and maybe a little bit more on the electric bill) but I stopped losing spinning media and the only things that are failing in the old (>10 year) old boxes I have up are the fans.

If they're using the same data source I am at work it's because that is what the ministry of health for the DRC is releasing daily. They don't track active cases but rather cumulative cases in a health zone.
The opposite can sometimes be true. I work remotely about 1 day a week. Some days I get in about 4 hours of real work and others it's in the 12-16 range. In any case it's a different environment and requires some self-awareness to be effective.
Think of how causally people throw around the term 'redneck' without thinking twice about it.

It's easy to pick on the rural poor that don't have the same access to services as the enlightened city folk. Let's call them racist because they have a certain (ignorant) perception of what their problems are and not do anything to help those people and improve their situation.
Then maybe they shouldn't have picked such a click-baity title.

> rather than grabbing her for a "Can you look at this?" over the shoulder, it gets slung over the fence

Is that experience, or speculation? Having worked remotely on large teams for a decade myself, I've had just about the opposite experience. The unavailability of a component's main developer can be a powerful spur to dive in and take matters into one's own hands, vs. the short-term convenience but long-term bottleneck of always walking over to your hypothetical Naimh for assistance. This effect is seen all the time in large open source projects, even for challenging code e.g. in the Linux kernel. If your experience has been otherwise, that suggests more about your team than about remote teams in general.
You're talking about a $500 part vs a $200 part.

The xeon is the same price as a Ryzen 2700 or an intel 8400.
They definitely beat it on power usage.

This all makes the argument really depend on how much utilization you think the xeon will have.

If you plan to run it 24/7 100% utilization (or as close as you can get), yes new hardware makes sense. (There's definitely a cost reason that these companies are ditching their old xeons for new ones, it saves them money and rack space).

If you're playing around for a few hours in the evening and on weekends (as suggested), it'll probably be a maximum of $10 per year in power costs.

So I think even with power costs, having run the numbers, these processors do make an attractive alternative to newer hardware. They are comparable and at a comparable price on the market, but if you can get a deal by bargain bin hunting, they can be a great value. It is unsurprising that the $/performance is very similar, that is how arbitrage markets are supposed to work.

There are some pitfalls here that are not mentioned, while the processor itself can be cheap, it is often the case that server grade motherboards are more expensive. This is particularly true with older Xeons, where people are trying to repair things that have broken. There's kind of a curve where demands drops up until a point and then the supply drops (people scrap things for the metal content rather than reselling)... so price starts to creep up again. This shouldn't be a problem.

The other issue is that you end up with hardware compatibility issues. Can I stick my new graphics card in the old xeon box? Probably(?) can I do something more exotic or new? maybe not? Again this shouldn't be an issue.
Yes, people by and large are different. I'm sure there are some people who would enjoy social isolation. That said, in my experience most people who claim to be special and enjoy social isolation deeply regret it.
As a college student, you really aren't doing your kids any favors by paying for their college. Its not going to teach them the value of money when they have never earned anything themselves and their tuition is magically paid.

Taking loans and working in the summer/internships to pay it off, without being reliant upon your parents is the ideal to aim for.

After all, I think Warren Buffet said that he plans to give enough to his children so that they could anything, but not enough so that they can do nothing.

Is Rust a high-level language or a low-level language? Does rustlang's development prove you don't have to choose? My impression of Rust is that it's intended to replace C/C++, and that web frameworks are high-level libraries (whereas something like an HTTP library would be low-level). I guess you could write a web framework in C/C++ but I don't know of any that are popular or widely used off the top of my head. IIRC I think golang was meant to be low-level, but the community mostly came from high-level scripting languages that saw a visible boost in performance.

I'm shy because I feel I'm not cool, smart, or successful enough to be deserving of happiness and friendship, which is ridiculous when you think about it, but it's what goes on in my head. I really want to stop this, but it's hard once you've lived it for so long.
This.

I picked up a Dell T710 with 32 cores and 32GB of DDR3 ECC RAM for $400. I can throw more RAM in it for practically zero cost. It's amazing for batch workloads.

For interactive workloads, there's no need to get anything newer than a 4-series Core iX. The single-threaded performance has not improved much over the last five years. My daily driver is an i5-6500; motherboard and CPU, used, were $120.
I sure am glad here on Hacker News people advocate we work until we die. Fucking dystopian shit
If a lot of HN users were interested it would be cool if someone could organize group-buys of these types of hardware. Usually buying old hardware (for super cheap) is limited by volume and most sellers aren't willing to ship something. If someone removed those pains and hand-picked "worth it" (for the home/small business server lab) items it would be something a few people might be interested in.
I got to say, I disagree with nearly every point here. Taps on the shoulder are the worst, anonymous cubical farms would be way better than the current situation (all open offices), skype/zoom/etc. are all immediately available for impromptu meetings, I'm not sure why working on code independently would lead to more silos? Does everyone always pair program in offices? Do you theorize less design meetings or something?

Plus remote you can not play the butts-in-seats game, get non-work related life things done at your leisure, wear whatever clothes you like, shit in your own bathroom, don't have to worry about anyone tapping you on the shoulder, eat what you want when you want, the list goes on. Theses are just the immediate things that come to mind.

Ebola as it is now isn't a very risky disease in the first world. It's ability to spread is pretty limited considering first world sanitation and medical care.

I suspect every first world country could handle an outbreak on their own and eliminate the disease in their own country in short order.

Basic healthcare practices that any hospital could handle are enough to deal with ebola.

We see it spread in places where there isn't basic healthcare and chaos that limits the ability for health workers to deal with it.
I think its less stigma but economic realities that are driving this. People have too much debt and not enough income and are too early in their careers in their 20s to comfortably take time off to have a kid or pay for childcare.
That sort of reaction is exactly why the Overton window works. If Alice says that 2 + 2 = 4 and Bob says that 2 + 2 = 8, then Bob is wrong and the answer is not 6.
My email appears in six breaches. Only one of the companies I recognize. I have never done business with the other five.

This pisses me off. Not that the data was stolen -- these things happen. It pisses me off that my data was shared with third parties without my knowledge or consent. And no, a paragraph buried in the basement of a privacy policy does not constitute informed consent.

This system would be more useful if it could report how these companies got my data. I want to know who betrayed me.

It wouldn't be a terrible thing to have privacy legislation that forces companies that sell your data to disclose what information they sold, when, and to whom.

I think it's worth considering not only how online media has contributed to the very uneven distribution of interest over tourist destinations, but also how it might help fix it. The internet is used to creating power-law distributions, where a small minority of titles capture a large fraction of interest/traffic/views. Real world cities, parks and sites struggle to cope with global popularity. It's entirely possible for online media about travel to take a different set of considerations into account, and yield different top-level distributions in who wants to travel where.

Every listicle, travel-focused instagram, etc, pushes the same destinations to all of its audience. A small number of places become extremely coveted. What if we had tools and platforms that spread those eyeballs around more, where the number of impressions is related to the number of tourist arrivals per year? Stop showing so many people beautiful shots of Iceland; it's over burdened. Why should travel sites, influencers etc care to shift impressions in this way? Among influencers, platforms could place more value on uniqueness; if I've seen 5 shots of beaches in Bali in my feed this morning, maybe mix in something else. Influencers could feel a pressure to highlight comparatively under-exposed destinations. Places that produce travel content with funds from tourism departments ... well, I'd suppose that the marginal value of additional prospective visitors for Venice is small, but would be higher for a city that isn't so popular.

This year I walked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. While it was a positive experience, Machu Picchu itself was crowded, and visitors are very specifically limited in how they can walk around it. Only once I was in country did I hear about Choquequirao, another large Inca complex perched on a promontory, which is much less popular, and sometimes called "the other Machu Picchu". I can't help but feel that neither I, not Machu Picchu was well served by that ignorance.

I can see that. Different people work differently.
"The entire assembly is housed inside a tailored magnetic field called the “magnetic nozzle”. When an RF signal is applied to the antenna, the near-field pattern acts to ionize the propellant in the liner, and subsequently heat the plasma via stochastic electron-RF interactions [9, 10]. These interactions drive electrons out of the exit of the plasma liner. To maintain steady state charge balance, ions are accelerated by this momentary charge imbalance out of the liner, generating thrust. "

Essentially, instead of using an electric field generated by a anode/cathode grid to pull the ions out of the thruster, they are using the RF to generate free electrons which generate an electric field and pull the ions out of the container.
