None of these.

I was tired of looking at people who are seemingly having the time of life then in person they tell me about their life issues, their sufferings and all.

So social media felt like a game of fakeness to me when I knew some was deeply suffering inside (because they told me) but on social media they are trying to look cool and fun etc....

So I couldn't really tell from social media alone who is like what in their personal life. Other than holding a particular judgement about someone, it gave me no good clue about them.

So I left the social media.

Second thing is I don't look that good and don't want my photos appearing in others newsfeed and make their day worse. :D

And as a collary of the point, I don't like looking at people who look better than me and be depressed about that.

Focusing on my hobbies and doing some good work for people who trust me etc...gets me more praises and keep me focused and I don't feel like I am inferior after that.
At the start of this year, I got a subscription. I got through it for a few months and then stopped using it again.

> In the middle of the chaos, an operator in the central control room, located in the shadow of the Passyunk Avenue Bridge far from Unit 433, took quick action and shuttled the hydrofluoric acid to a separate container, according to O’Callaghan, the steelworkers president. The industry term for that is “rapid deinventory.”
“The equipment that was installed to save the acid worked. She did a great job,” O’Callaghan said of the operator, who declined to be interviewed. “She saw it come up and she took action and followed her training.”
“A refinery worker on the scene who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the matter offered this assessment:
“She’s a f-ing hero. Whatever she did up there,” he said. “When you’re ‘on the board’ as we call it, your alarm screen looks like a slot machine, all the alarms are going off.” He said she may have “saved the city, really."

Thank god this operator took swift action and moved that HF. She is a hero.

I had tested my serial number back when they announced it and mine is not affected (a Spanish model), which makes me wonder: how come only a range of models are affected? Aren't they all built in the same way?

Just wondering if I'll eventually face that issue a few years down the line, now I get paranoid anytime I leave my laptop alone on my wooden desk.
Just give those kids an iPad. It's not as if tech people of SF haven't already provided a solution to the problem.
Thanks for #4, that was a great read. I'm still on my 2012 X1 Carbon and it's surprising how not dated it looks.

I'll replace it with another when it breaks, but hoping it'll last until AMD gets properly into the laptop game.
Yeah, sounds great to me. Add in a carbon tax, removal of fossil subsidies and allowances (to capture externalities) and a whole bunch of nonsense gets solved by the power of the market incentives.

I'm not in favour of net metering as an end in itself. As I said I think it still cheats solar providers. But it's a neat hack that quickly and easily moves us closer to the real solution than we were before, while using the existing deployed hardware (the basic idea is the existing meter runs forward and backward and you pay the net).

Underfunding? The US spends more than the OECD average on a per pupil basis. Why do you think the education system is underfunded rather than extremely inefficient?

It seems I didn't get your sarcastic tone then, sorry for the inconvenience.
As someone who has been to San Francisco enough to hate it there (which doesn't take that long, really), I still think a couple of things are worth seeing:

* Land's End (just outside the city) is beautiful, and worth a visit

* The Palace of Fine Arts Theater (not a theater, rather a sort of "monument" made to look like old-world ruins) is very pleasant, and in a pretty area.

* I've heard the Presidio in general is really nice, but I haven't gotten a chance to go there.

After that, I recommend hopping in a car, and driving away from San Francisco along the Pacific Coast Highway. You've seen the best parts, and hopefully avoided the various near-stabbings or human-excrement-piled sidewalks that are emblematic of the city's current state. It's basically a corporate monument to income inequality, on its way to being transformed into some version of an 80s-future dystopia.
Can you then explain why many cities where the population is declining in the US are seeing housing prices go up? For example Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland?
I work remotely and like it but this is a pretty low content article. It’s mostly about how remote working is nice together with some very basic advice like have the right software installed. Certainly nothing objective about why it will continue.
Your figures are measuring different things.

The lowtechmag link is for an off grid solar and battery combo. Off grid nuclear isn't a thing as far as I'm aware.

Whereas the wikipedia link includes comparisons on all generating methods, which I would guess means they're an apples to apples comparison, so that means onshore wind in better than nuclear, offshore wind is as good as, and solar is only 5 times worse.

And to restate the point in my last comment, the lowtechmag figures at least are based on a dirty grid, as the grid cleans up and the solar figures improve. Lets assume you get your way and we build out nuclear. Solar's figures will improve and eventually surpass those of nuclear. In that situation would you support moving over to solar?

San Francisco is not on the high end in the US, but it is suffering largely because of increasing pension and salary requirements. I assume the latter (and likely both) is itself caused by the extreme cost of living in the area.

> You now have a global pool of talent to tap

I wish more places adopted that. Lots of "remote" positions are actually "same city / state / timezone". Which makes sense in many cases and makes things easy for HR... But finding a global remote job is pretty hard if you're not in Europe/US.

I actually wish there was a better naming convention. WFH vs remote? Remote vs global? Majority of the time looking for remote job ads seems to be filtering out things like "remote (but you need to be within 20min of our Boston HQ)" and "remote (US only)"
I think a lot of people forget the original wireless Magic Mouse was battery powered. I still have mine, and a couple of AAs (I think) will see it running for a good 'ol while. Nothing made me contemplate upgrading, and it's still a darn good experience.

The Bay Area is absolutely worth visiting. The Computer History Museum alone is a must see if you're into that sort of thing.

The wealth inequality and housing crises don't make it a bad place to visit any more than New York, London, or any of the great cities.

People wouldn't complain about the changes in their home regions if they didn't love those places. There are many things about SF and the South Bay that make them really wonderful places: climate, natural attractions, cultural attractions, etc. And those things are very much available to tourists. The dystopia only starts when you try to find an apartment.
I'm referring to that time where iPhone 5 buttons where breaking all over the place, Apple said it was hardware and that the only fix would be to buy the iPhone 6, but then rooted versions of the iPhone could use a non official software patch to fix the issue.

>REMOTE EMPLOYEES ARE SIMPLY MORE PRODUCTIVE

>remote employees simply produce better results than their traditional counterparts.

>employees who spend a bulk of their working hours outside of the office are vastly happier and more productive.

As a remote worker, articles like these only preach to the choir (people like me) instead of actually convincing business people and decision makers.

Having a journalist repeatedly say "remote is more productive" isn't going to radically change the industry.

What the business world needs is a high-profile example of a company beating all the competition specifically _because_ of their remote workforce. E.g. a Google/Facebook/Apple type of multi-billion dollar success that shows the remote workers at Company X beating the onsite office workers at Company Y.

If that happened, there would be endless writeups and case studies in Harvard Business Review and WSJ with CEOs and middle managers copying the "remote work is our killer competitive advantage". The evidence of "more productivity" would be so compelling that incubators like YC and VCs would refuse to fund you if you didn't have a 100% remote work force because it would be business suicide to stuff everybody on site in a office.

Which company is closest to providing that compelling evidence? I don't see the remote work culture at Automattic & Basecamp really changing that narrative yet.
> how come only a range of models are affected? Aren't they all built in the same way?

Most manufacturers will dual-source component suppliers (because a) it can drive your costs down, and b) you're not reliant on a single company to supply you), so it's very easy to have some models impacted but not others.

Even with a single supplier you can have bad batches of raw materials, a single factory line with an assembly defect, or the QA team just happened to all be out sick one day.
Agree. Going back to the prior keyboards feels like typing on mush. There is an adjustment period though where constantly swapping back and forth could be uncomfortable.

They're built the same way with interchangable components.

But device manufacturers at large scale get multiple suppliers to supply their components.

As long as it meets specification it can be used.
My intuition as somebody who worked in VFX with self affecting gravity and spent some time looking at simulations would be that self-effects are usually too small to really play a role in environments where all other forces are many magnitudes bigger.

But intuitions are often wrong, which is why looking at things in a micro gravity environment makes sense. This is why we do weak gravity experiments in the ISS right?
Any links or pointers to where it can be found? There are just a _few_ Apollo 11 documentaries coming out this year it seems...
In principle yes, but manufacturing is a complicated process involving many suppliers, potentially different ones for the same part. From my experience: it is mostly a component from a certain batch/certain manufacturer that was not working correctly. This information which part was used is stored somewhere and thus it makes sense to check on through the serial number.
That is hard, but I try. My partner and I (we still run separate households) cherish the time we get together - and I'm really lucky that my oldest son is able and willing to watch the others, every Saturday, when my toddler is down for her nap, my partner and I have lunch at a favourite restaurant.
I'm surprised the US is that close to the EU on installed capacity on a population adjusted basis (~148 GW if you adjust the US population up to the EU population). I'd like to see the US do a lot more with its wind power resources. We've done relatively little with offshore for example (that's only just beginning to see a serious push), while having rather epic offshore potential. The US Department of Energy lists the US with a technical offshore potential of 2,000+ GW.[1] Conveniently the US population is of course also concentrated along the coasts.

Here is 'Casey Winters', former growth hacker at GrubHub explaining their strategy:

https://firstround.com/review/pinterest-and-grubhubs-former-...

I absolutely can't stand the whole 'growth hacking' phenomenon, usually it boils down to doing something at someone else's expense in order to improve ones own position in the market. It's the mafia mentality brought to start-up land, suddenly you find you have a 'partner' that you did not choose who skims off a good portion of your profits.
If he has no direct, on my past jobs, project managers were also expect to keep the head cooler than engs because they were facilitators and mediators.

VOIP/SIP integration in the dialler is the big one for me.

There are VOIP apps for iOS but they generally do not work nearly as well as the integrated VOIP system in the dialler. iOS’ obsession with control and killing background apps makes it almost impossible to write a decent VOIP app.
I've seen variations of this. I think this is to get around the problem of lack of core hours.

If you are in the UK and you have somebody in your team from NZ, then there is never going to be any overlap in working hours, which might work, e.g. somebody likes to work late/early or might not (people like to stick to business hours)

The ones saying (US only) probably don't want the headache of dealing with people in a different tax jurisdiction
Most non-german speakers will find these pretty funny:

I hope the pairing experiences we will commonly have will be much improved, because just about every time I use Bluetooth to pair anything I have to go through a struggle.
Going to echo the main point I do on all remote threads - it needs to be inherent to the culture. Things can't be decided by the water-cooler if you have people who are working remotely - you need, ideally, to be "remote first" even if you have a physical space.

We have offices, but every employee can work remotely (realistically, 2/3 days a week at least), and with the spread of offices and team members, working collaboratively is a native thing.

If it was only a few people though, you start forgetting to put a Skype link in a meeting here, not having resources to share ahead of calls there, and making decisions in the corridors all over the place.

Have an office, sure, but behaviours need to be the same whether you're sitting next to someone, or hundreds of miles away.
I’ve had some of these discussions recently. Between butt in seat all day every day and globally distributed/work from anywhere there is a lot of potential variation which may be preferable to either extreme. For example, regular calls start to get hard beyond 6 hour time offsets unless one person is willing to regularly take very early morning or evening calls.

Likewise there’s a big difference between living across the country and dropping into the office once a week or so with other team members.
Yes. There's nothing intuitively shocking about those results.

What exactly is your concern here?
Thanks for the detailed response. I don't deny that it might be difficult for someone to work without ventilation. I simply find the air outside extremely irritating to my throat, nose, and upper airways. This "fresh air" frequently gives me headaches, which rarely happen if it is kept outside. I wasn't prone to headaches at all before I started working here. I rarely open windows at home and feel fine. It seems to be a no-win situation, and the better solution for us is to part our ways, which I am working on.
Possibly relevant here: a story about Donald Davies' inventing the work "packet" (in the networking sense) from Katie Hafner's book Where Wizards Stay Up Late:

Davies' choice of the word "packet" was very deliberate. "I thought it was important to have a new word for one of the short pieces of data which traveled separately," he explained. "This would make it easier to talk about them." There were plenty of other possibilities — block, unit, section, segment, frame. "I hit on the word packet," he said, "in the sense of small package." Before settling on the word, he asked two linguists from a research team in his lab to confirm that there were cognates in other languages. When they reported back that it was a good choice, he fixed on it. Packet-switching. It was precise, economic, and very British. And it was far easier on the ear than Baran's "distributed adaptive message block switching."

I wish that much thought went into other technical naming. (Looking at you, grep.)

They are from the LLVM projects, but the integration is very well done. This is something that I miss a lot in Visual Studio, and that makes me consider it as inferior to XCode.
You're somewhat arguing his point for him. We spend significantly more per student than almost anywhere, and our education is comparatively poor. We spend significantly more per patient, and our healthcare is comparatively poor.

How much we spend isn't a metric of it being good. It's demonstration of failure.
Does anyone here have some perspective from the employer side? While the benefits for the employee are pretty clear, I am skeptical about the higher productivity claims.
Except for some coastal areas and larger cities housing density is way down the list of priorities because it's simply not a problem.
The easiest route.
It's odd they're pushing "more" productive. Wouldn't a similarly compelling argument that'd be easier to prove be "as" productive, but you'd save $XXXk on overheads per year?

I installed FB a few years back when it started to get popular and everyone was creating accounts. A few days later, a friend of mine posted a picture and tagged me. I hated the fact that I couldn't control that (The security settings were pretty basic back then) so I immediately deleted my account and never looked back.

IG is ok I guess but I'm not really into it since everyone's life appears to be the same.

> Infrastructure is also crumbling from what I hear.

To be honest this also plagues Europe - all the way from Romania (https://www.romania-insider.com/romanian-entrepreneur-one-me...) over Italy (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/17/italys-crumbli...) to Germany (https://www.dw.com/en/germany-tries-to-close-infrastructure-...).

The root cause here is that "thanks" to decades of neoliberalism and privatizations tax revenue and thus the financial base for investments has eroded.

It is very typical for Russians that we often feel awkward using old words in a new meaning to denote new concepts. Somehow it feels silly and imprecise, and we prefer to borrow the word from the language where a concept originated.

At the same time, in colloquial language we happen to replace English words with unrelated but similarly sounding Russian words. For example, saying мыло (soap) instead of 'mail' or 'поймать лося' (catch a moose) for activated stop loss order.

I personally find "moveEntity(player, x, y, z);" (and the implications) prettier than "player->move(x,y,z);"

Then again, I'm a pretty crappy software developer.
