Price, availability. For instance, steno software costed thousands of dollars. But this is about to change:

- Plover is a free, cross-platform steno software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZGuBV1xe64

- This Canadian guy develops cool, quality steno and ergonomic boards. The Georgi is $95USD - significantly less expensive than alternatives. There aren't any official reviews yet, but Plover users on Discord seem to really like it.

Show HN: An algorithm automatically remove text from natural images
Web Forms: Several Simple Rules to Stick With
I am astounded that the only mention of pants is a tweet regarding "working in lululemon pants" as being a perk. I thought one of the chief benefits of remote work was that pants were entirely optional!
At a minimum you'd need your keyboard to support NKRO, N-Key Roll-over, and you'd need a software like Plover.
Hello HN community. I am developing a web service which remove text from natural images, and a friend recommended me to share it with you.

A nice test is for example the doge meme from wikipedia. (https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKE...) Not every image is perfect. He is also having a hard time with huge capital fonts.

I think the usage is straight forward, but I would like to add some comments on the project.

* You are limited to 10 images per IP for now, because I have to pay for the servers and it can quickly get expensive. This is the easiest way I found to allow everybody to test it without exploding my bank account.

## Some question I am anticipating:

1) Why is it so slow

The algorithm is computationally intensive. With the current setup, it takes around 40s for a maximal size images. I could reduce it to few seconds (tested, it works) at the cost of expensive hardware.

2) Pricing page?

Yes, I sell "computation" tickets, which basically help me to compensate the cost of the servers. This is also a way to thanks me if you like this app.

3) How can I help ?

If you find bugs, please report them to me. If you find natural images on which the algorithm perform poorly, you can also share the information. If you have friends who make a good usage of this app, some visibility would definitively helps. Finally, if you want to invest or make a donation, please contact me.

If you have any question, post it below and I will answer you as best as I can.
This article doesn't answer the headline statement. It just says people like it, would recommend it, and that record is in the rise. Simple survey stuff.

> There's yet to be a popular race (6 majors, olympics, world championship, even regular "city marathons" etc.) where there's an overall female winner [...]

It wasn't a major city race and probably had a lot of casual runners, but I ran a half marathon earlier this year with around 20,000 participants. A woman won the overall in 1:18:30.

The people who are good at this are just so much better at it than the average person. A fast woman, even if she isn't faster than the fastest men, will still be faster than 99.9+% of them.
> "91% of remote workers said working remotely is a good fit for them."

Right, and 97% of current ferret owners say that ferrets make great pets [0]. I'd like the survey to include people who worked remotely in the past and no longer do. Count me in that group. I worked remotely for a six months at a remote-friendly but not remote-first company and here were my findings:

* It was lonely being at home. And I wasn't as productive. After a month, I rented space at a WeWork, which helped with both problems. But it requires that you be outgoing to meet people who work in your space but aren't your coworkers.

* I didn't like being physically separated from my colleagues. It meant that I wasn't privy to many of the important conversations in the company.

* I was always afraid that come a round of layoffs that it's easier to fire the folks who work 1000 miles away.

* In a company that isn't remote first, it limits your career growth (most of the time).

* Maybe it's just me, but I find it much easier to explain difficult technical things in person. Yes, screenshares are very helpful, but sometimes a hard problem involves going back and forth between monitors, for example. I also like being able to use a whiteboard [1].

* As a software engineer, it's easy to get siloed into only communicating with people on your team and remote work only increases this tendency. If you work in an office, you meet people from other parts of the business in the cafeteria/break room/etc. and that allows you to have a more full understanding of the company. And it's my belief that if you don't understand the business, then you don't understand what your software should be doing.

Overall, I didn't hate working remotely but it wasn't great either. I would do it again for a short period of time (e.g. a year while my wife is on sabbatical) without hesitation, but I personally didn't like it for the long term. That said, the ability to work remotely on occasion is something that's very important to me.

I personally wouldn't apply to jobs at remote-only companies, but I definitely think this is the way to go if you want to make a career out of working remote as it solves a few of the problems above.

[0] Not saying that they don't, for some people. Just saying that asking people who currently own ferrets means your sample is biased.

[1] Sometimes old fashioned is best. One of my companies moved to a new office and was thinking of installing "smart boards" at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, thinking that the engineers would love them. To their surprise, the engineers protested and asked for good quality "dumb" boards instead.

No, it´s better for everybody - the human race wins.

Let´s say you had a bunch of computers, and somebody had told you a certain type always ran slowly, so you never used them for anything fast, and even put them on slower connections, because of that. And then one day, you discovered if you connected them up to faster links, they ran faster.

You now have a larger number of faster computers. As with computers, so with society, it´s not a zero sum game.

Here are the predictions from the first IPCC assessment report published in 1990 for the business-as-usual scenario:

Increase in global temperature of 0.3 C per decade (1 C increase in 1990-2025); uncertainty range 0.2-0.5 C per decade.

Global mean sea level raise of 6 cm per decade (20 cm in 1990-2030); uncertainty range 3-10 cm per decade.

How were those predictions “too conservative”?
Well, the sky is very likely falling but it is falling so slowly that the older generation won't see any severe effects.

That women are winning these races, is a credit to this sport. Sports have no intrinsic value that isn't somehow tied to the good they do for humanity. We should judge them by their fruits. Even so, the vast majority of sports are constructed so that, on average, men have big advantages. It could be that it's easier to construct a sport that way. It could also be that constructing a sport that way better appeals to the prejudices of society. After all, there are some sports in which women compete at the highest level. For example, horse racing, open-water swimming, and as we see here "ultra" running. It's not necessary for women to win all or even most of the top prizes, but it's great that they win sometimes. Personally, although I enjoy watching gendered sports like ice hockey and American football I definitely see them as inferior to sports that exhibit more gender equality.
There are quite a few competing systems at the moment, as with all things software, each one wants to be the standard :)

Remote work can be great, but it requires two key things. First is the ability to actually do useful work at home or other non-office location. This is not hard (I suspect some people working remotely do goof off, but I suspect those people are not super useful sitting in the office either).

Second, much harder, is the employer support. Direct manager of remote workers should know how to manage them (which is a rare skill) and be interested in doing it. It means parceling work in a larger, independent chunks, planning integration and communication as needed and spotting and resolving problems early enough with no/rare face to face contact (and face to face does help for this).

Fail either of those and working remotely is inviting failure. My 2c.

It would change fuck all. The regions where there is still a lot of population growth (e.g. Africa) are so far behind in qualify of life compared to the massively CO2-emitting countries that any attempt to improve their qualify of life means we continue to increase the CO2 output for decades more.

Anyway, there is no chance that humans will collectively decide anything, least of all that.

How is that the least bit relevant? I'm not arguing about the quantity of female victors historically (which obviously is affected by their unfortunate exclusion)

I'm talking about races today where women must compete for a Woman's-trophy because they are generally not able to compete with the male athletes. That is exactly the reason for having a Woman's trophy in the first place. Which is how this sub-discussion started.

Even though black runners were excluded from early races, there was no need to create a special trophy for them. When the ugly practice of excluding them ended, they tended to dominate.

My point is the very existence of a Woman's trophy is an admission that, generally speaking, they can not compete on equal footing with men. Obviously there are fun exceptions like in this story where a woman wins the overall race, and all credit to her for doing so.
I don't believe people love remote work as much as the article suggests, but this does match my own experience.

I absolutely love it. I used to work at a very chatty office before they let me work remotely. My productivity and ability to think deeply about problems has skyrocketed.

Remote work isn't a catch all solution but it can be really effective if you match it to the right job.

Came here to say something similar. Love the office but downtown cores where tech companies usually are are getting particularly difficult and unpleasant to deal with. And a lot of people dont pike the office layouts common now as well. Remote preference seems to be a combo of enjoyment of it and the worsening of the office situation
Totally agree. I love remote work but you have to be cut out for it. A lot of people aren’t.

I also may enjoy going to an office more if I actually had an office with a window where i could feel comfortable instead of staring at a gray cube wall and listening to my loud neighbors the whole day.
It probably would go 11km on a straight and level run with no stopping for traffic lights or anything else. It's just that that's not realistic in an urban commute setting.

I don't feel cheated, I'm just saying that even a modest bump in efficiency could make a big difference to this kind of vehicle, especially if affected both the propulsion and regen side of things.

I work remotely 2 days a week. I'd quite like to go to 3 and might soon.

But without being in the office a couple of days a week for collaboration, a lot of stuff just wouldn't work. Conference calls, slack and email are no substitute for the face-to-face conversations that can resolve blocking issues in a few seconds versus a few hours.

I'd definitely recommend partial remote working. Not sure I'd want it fully.
