I reject some of the premise of the article. Just because we can't build mega structures doesn't mean we can't effectively project power and defend ourselves. There hasn't been a conventional war in years; no amount of fighter jets or tanks will cause the Taliban to submit.

That said, my opinion is that equally to blame as Wall Street is the schism between the military and the coasts, which house most of the country's intellectual power. It's hard to imagine today that the Bay Area was the center of defense R&D two generations ago. Today there is largely the perception that the U.S. military is acting in a manner counter to what we perceive ourselves to be as a liberal democracy. Evidenced by the recent Google and Amazon protests, knowledge workers bristle at the possibility of their work being used for purposes that aren't entirely positive. As far as I'm aware, the Chinese have no such hang-ups. Is it the fault of the military for appearing too evil, or is it the fault of progressives singing the siren song of non-aggression in a hostile world, who knows.

Now, the part I agree with is the supply chain issues. I go out of my way to buy American and local whenever possible, even if it means a higher price, because I realize the importance of domestic production will play in a future where the U.S. isn't the undisputed leader of the world.
I know you’re downvoted, but I agree with this 100%.

Technical folk usually are fascinating people but more often than not (in my experience) are introverted. It’s a shame, because as an extroverted passionate engineer, it’s amazing to see, build and play with abstractions above software. Stepping outside your bubble in a not-timid way provides access to this.
I've done it long term, and don't find it in any way psychologically difficult. I totally get that it's not for everyone though - some are too easily distracted, some don't have space for a dedicated home office etc.

I do agree about graduates and juniors though, also because it can be difficult to effectively mentor someone remotely. OTOH, we've never had better tooling and connectivity. I recently met a colleague in person, and didn't realise until he pointed it out that we'd never met before! I'd spent so much time in video conferencing with him that I felt very familiar with him.

This one I don't get though, unless your only measure is how long someone is sat at their desk.

People assume art imitates life. That, aside from a few liberties taken to make a more interesting story, movies try to faithfully represent reality. And when so many movies all share the same spin, one assumes there's some truth behind that spin.

A big part of what people think about daily US life, past and present, is shaped by movies. E.g. we didn't learn about Mt. Rushmore, Drive-In theaters, the FBI, Thanksgiving, or Miranda rights in school.

As a private pilot flying in the US until the beginning of this millennium (then I moved away) - there are many, many such airports all over the country, that's nothing special. I landed at such airports even as a student pilot. Half Moon Bay airport, to be exact (student home airports were San Carlos and Palo Alto, so I was allowed to do that as a student, didn't even have to ask the instructor after getting the general approval for local solo flights). You even have "pilot-controlled lighting" to turn on runway lights if you arrive at night at some airports.

Yes, such airports are a lot of fun. Some are nothing but a strip in the middle of nowhere.

Each one has a frequency assigned and you announce yourself (or at least you are supposed to) when you come in to check if anybody else is there already, maybe even using the runway.

For reference: "Non-Towered Airport Flight Operations" -- https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/...

I found a number, the vast majority of airports is in this category:

> Do you and they not have a baselevel implicit trust simply due to being coworkers?

In some cases yes, in other cases, no.

As an example, say you're a product manager in Department A. You, previously, had to work with Software Team B on a deliverable, and it was a really rough experience. The team was curt, challenging, and often spoke down to you because of your role.

There's some turn-over on Team B over the year, and there are a few new hires. You know of them, but don't really know them at all, as you no longer interact with that team. One of the new hires walks up to you at lunch one day and says, "Yo, what is it that you do here?"

Now, a rational approach is to just take that person as just being curious. Assume best intentions, assume they're just curious, assume it's very genuine. In that brief moment though, your frustrations with Team B surface up, and you react, rather than act rationally. You assume that someone on the team was bad-mouthing you, as you had heard the team lead previously say "I don't know why we even have product managers here anyway." Now this new hire is coming over, asking what it is that you even do, and now you've got to deal with this stuff all over again...

Or, perhaps someone who is from my generation, hearing "What is it that you do here", would just immediately think of Office Space, and immediately enter into a "defend your role" sort of mentality, rather than just taking it as some honest inquiry.

Just to reiterate. I'm not saying one should react the way I'm describing above. But, I will personally say, I don't always react to questions in a way that's healthy. How a question is worded to me can make or break my response. So, whenever possible, especially when giving generic advice on HN, I try to give suggested phrases that will hopefully avoid any unnecessary reactions, within reason. Obviously, one can't be possibly remotely aware of the challenges each and every one of us have had in our lives, and so misunderstandings are inevitable- But, thoughtful phrasing can go a long way and help to establish great relationships over the long term.
IBM's 3 year vest schedule on cash retention packages was 10% at 6 months, 10% at 12 months, 30% at 24 months, and 50% at 36 months. So half of your retention pay happens on the 3rd year anniversary.
The bad thing about fuchsia is how closed the development process is. There is no community around it, they don't advertise it, don't encourage broader use and adoption. The contribution process is quite centralized to.

It feels like it's google project and they and only they would decide its direction. So no spontaneous order, it's their way or no way.
At least for me, the time and cost savings by removing a commute are reasons why I like remote working.

Having said that, I might consider it if I didn't have a dedicated home office, I had a coworking space next door, or I craved personal interaction :)
Very interesting. The question of "first" is often tricky because definitions are often only made after something has become established and then retroactively applied to earlier creations.

This predates 1958's Tennis for Two which is often said to be the fist videogame.

Earlier candidates are 1951's Nimrod and 1950's Bertie the Brain which are both often excluded because their display consisted of lights rather than generating graphics.

I don't think that the base issue lies in the implementation: you can make it as scalable, parallel and document as you wish, but if what you are doing is basically receive data from whoever sends you something, store it, pass it to other server and do not offer any form of accountability over who can store such data or who can delete it, it will always be trivial to write a script that just sends lots of data and bloats your service. The problem lies in the architecture itself.
Whilst that’s true, I think it’s also a good example of how shortsighted most attempts at diversity are; in this case a Scandinavian would perhaps have the “diverse experience” to preempt a naïve implementation of a sunrise fiction, however diversity seems to always be about race or sex or identity, which seems to miss the point somewhat.

Edit: Which is to say that a male with fair hair and skin and a university education wouldn’t qualify as diverse in most contemporary conceptions of diverse, despite a likely underlying diversity of culture and experience.
If I may take an opinion on this having lived in Berlin for 2 years, perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this is that this new airport isn't just like a better, fancier one that'll replace an already adequate airport(s) - Berlin's existing airports (Tegel the 'main' one and Schonefeld the secondary) are, to put it mildly, an embarrassment for the captial city of Europe's biggest economy.

As an American I rather liked Tegel (and the cute little I [hexagon] TXL bumper stickers I'd see periodically). It's small, and I imagine when things go wrong they'll go really wrong. Although I'm somewhat used to that at SFO with the fog, I'm glad I missed the German Air Force crash at SXF by a day or two since everything to diverted to TXL. Compared to London City there was dramatically less walking at Tegel and the public transit connections were better. While London transit will accept NFC payments, Berlin requires an app (albeit one of the best transit apps I've used).

The only airport that I've visited that really stood out as being awful was Amsterdam. It took about three miles of walking to get to the gate (from the "airport" Hilton), there was absolute chaos between the security checkpoint and passport control (wall to wall passengers, no indication where the lines started or ended, no airport staff, etc), and Americans flying Delta (but not KLM) get singled out for extra interrogation at the gate. God forbid you want to buy a train ticket.
I asked whether apple’s user friendly (integrated) experience, iPod halo effect, consumer interest in the new iPhone, and their shift to low cost Mac mini would be a threat. He laughed it off. I asked “what about those who have gotten tired of waiting for the new Windows to come out and bought a Mac?” He asked if that was a personal story & told me to come back; I’d make enough money to buy a real computer. He was right. I bought an iMac as a full time employee and was one of the top bug filers for Win7 compat issues.

It took years for Microsoft to take iPhone seriously. They never predicted the “byo phone” era and figured IT pros would insist on enterprise features. Years after iphones were out the Windows phone OS code names were bears that ate blackberries.

I can't speak for the downvoters, but I don't think people are implying "Don't step outside your bubble in a not-timid way", but rather, "There's probably a better way to phrase this question in a way that's less likely to be misinterpreted."

So, I 100% also agree with the sentiment! Ask people what they do. Be curious. Learn from others (that's why we're all on HN right?)! Try to step outside your comfort zone when you can. Good things will happen more often than not.

Just, be mindful of how you phrase questions. That's my primary point.

I think one of the key success factors is having a dedicated home office, where you can close the door and be in work mode. Doubly so if there are other family members at home during the day.
Me neither. In 1997, Apple bought NeXT to get Jobs back. In the bargain they acquired NeXTSTEP, which was, by then, a mature and robust OS. Once Jobs was back in charge at Apple, he deemed classic MacOS unsalvageable, and decided to move the Mac to NeXTSTEP - an OS they already owned and which he was obviously familiar with. It took a few years to build what would be known as Cocoa and Carbon, and eventually OSX. Linux was never even in the picture.

Likely true but resources will be available to a select few.

Having said that and setting that aside, this fascinates me because I have always been attracted to the notion of underground cities/dwellings.

Even outside of a threat of an apocalypse or asteroid hit or whatever doomsday scenario..what if we went underground and covered terrestrial land mass with vegetation and trees and prairie grasslands? It’s a great way to sequester carbon. Smaller communities and networked underground and over ground with autonomous electric vehicles and indoor hydroponics for annual crops while perennial food source can be over ground.

Just thought waffling...
Not an expert so you can disregard every word I say.

Answer to your question depends on functions provided by gut microbes. We can say it's to digest the food and it's symbiotic relationship. But what if this is what we know only on the surface. What if these microbes produce proteins that are absolutely essential for many other functions as well. What if they signal messages that are of neural nature.

It's a pitfall to think that our brain is all we are as it hosts consciousness. I held this view for a long time, so I understand where it's coming from.

But try changing your diet. I won't make any suggestions but there are limitless option to biohack your body. You will see amazing effects on your brain too.

Btw, there's a neural setup i.e a brain in stomach and heart as well.

One thing I don’t understand is why both of these billionaires has named virtually every philanthropically effort after themselves by themselves while they were alive. It used to be the case that philanthropy was appreciated to be anonymous, or at least not outright ego boosters. It’s not that these billionaires would be forgotten if they didn’t insisted slapping their names on everything they funded. They are as it is massively ingrained in annals of humankind. If I was a billionaire and starting institute of cancer, for example, I would name it after unsung heros of the field who did not had billion dollars and sacrificed their entire lives without making buck only to benefit people, like, Faber Institute after Sydney Faber.
>There seems to have been some disconnect where we’ve just decided that young people have no longer got any rights.

Segregation happened. Much like racial divides, it's easier to see people you aren't exposed to on a daily basis as something less than human. That, and when people are expected to be less than human, they start acting like it (the lack of opportunity for personal development directly delays when it happens).

Children, of course, have it worse, because they don't know (and some never really figure it out) that they're getting screwed; the foundation of fighting for rights is knowing you should have them in the first place.

And while there may have been a good reason for this in the past (1910s industry was very far from being a pleasant place to work), safety regulations and the increased number of service/knowledge jobs relative to the more unpleasant ones (as well as safety regulations where applicable) as well as increased automation would make workplace apprenticeship programs much more viable. The political will (of the people who have rights) can't be changed unless they see those who they oppress like themselves, and showing that they can accomplish objectively useful things (not schoolwork) is a good way to do that.

Of course, the very task of creating programs that make children useful is significant, and we figure that school isn't that unpleasant for most, so [corporate humanity] will do nothing to change their status. We won't teach the children dissatisfied by the current system that there's something they can do about it either, because that would destabilize the system as it stands.

>Schools should be a place where children feel safe, not a place where they feel locked up.

The two are much more similar than you realize. The feeling of being locked up directly stems from the complete elimination of risk (i.e. the feeling of safety). And a school with no playground and no technical subjects where students are seen and not heard is a perfectly safe place, much like societies where the concept of risk is antithetical to the concept that individuals only exist to serve said society tend to have less violence but never actually prosper. Development requires risk.
To all the mentioned faults I would also add that most of Schönefeld has serious accessibility issues. I've seen a few times people with disabilities completely at a loss. And both airports have problems with staff being rude.
Harvard statistician examines Beatles mystery
Managers of every kind have to deal with personnel, meaning humans, and this is a huge part of what they have to accomplish. They divide their time between humanistic goals and project goals, and it's very squishy.

Managers have to devote a certain amount of time to understanding you and your influence on the process and your mental state.

Managers have to have influence with other people. They build relationships and they form a big picture about the work being done and the timelines imposed and the human assets they have to motivate to meet the important goals imposed by the business.

You've heard all this before but it's a very squishy job. There is no template for it. Management is very, very difficult to do.

It's their school, not yours. Why do you think you should get veto power over what they are allowed to change and what they must keep? And why on earth, of all things, do you think they should be required to keep this thing?
