I know you only said "mostly", but I find their product comingling to be very bad for the consumer and products in general on Amazon.com seem to be a lot worse now. If we're specifically talking about AWS, I'm not anti-AWS and do use them, but lets be honest here: they are very expensive, especially for bandwidth, and their pricing models are definitely not consumer friendly. I find it very hard to determine ahead of time how much my bill will be.
The article starts by simply assuming its conclusion in a complete non-sequitur: that all the listed benefits of remote working stem from asynchronous communication.

Sharing the space with your children or partner? Asynchronous communication. Being able to take short breaks in your own space? Asynchronous communication. Not being distracted by people chatting about their weekend? Asynchronous communication.

One of the major benefits of remote working, for me, is just not having other people around. It's not much a matter of communication but simply of the relax and focus I get when I don't have to be aware of others.
While I get the idea and I get the benefit (I'm a programmer)... I see this as a pipe dream. There is not a manager on this planet that is going to be able to wrap their head around this.

You need to take one of those case studies and create a video that demonstrates everything in a clear and easy to "sell to a manager" way.
Indeed. I'm also fairly sure that calling it non-violent communication was no quick decision and was at least partly chosen to make us consider whether our usual methods are in fact violent and thus harmful.
Wow, what a ludicrous jump at the end there. Whatever complaints you may have about ICE, there is no analogy between the mass extermination of 6M people by the Nazis and what is happening at the border.

Many of these platforms have undocumented CPU instructions, so until you get a full accounting of that, what's the point? You can't learn the platform fully if they keep that a secret.

Secondly, we've had CPU-level issues like spectre and meltdown introduced that affected performance in some cases. We can't even trust the platform makers to get it right!

As a matter of fact, APKs are signed anyway using the pubkey of their developers, the signature is embedded in the package, regardless of whether it's in the app store of not. You cannot use a package with a different signature to replace the existing one, the system will warn you about a conflict.

If someone has changed the files on the distribution servers. A Hacker News reader will have no problem recognizing it and stop installing, another one will compare the signature and keep it as evidence.

Of course, the overwhelmingly majority cannot recognize it though.

I'm from near that region. It was called N2 (not A2) in Maastricht for a long time, while the rest of the road (from Eijsden near Belgium to Amsterdam) was mostly [1] called A2 though some parts were called N2. Why? Because you were only allowed 80 km per hour there. Also, the traffic jams were huge.

[1] There used to be parts which were also called N2, such as the part between Eindhoven and 's Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch). This has been rebuild and has become A2 somewhere in the 90s. After that project (I don't remember exactly when), they rebuild the N2 in Maastricht to become A2.

Most certainly not. A lot of victims that were exploited in the production of child porn have to live with the knowledge that for the rest of their life that material will be out there, viewed by every dirty slimy degenerate wanting to do so. It's also one of the reasons a lot of them commit suicide. The fact that the justice system makes even viewing this material illegal is not for nothing, but comes from a proper understanding of how child porn victimizes people.

I love how people are worried about the far right in these comments but not on the impact of propaganda on themselves.

This recent Kurds vs Turkey is an example of this.

The left usually hates war. Why? If you break down to the lowest level, it looks like the current left is mainly dominated by the maternal instinct. In every issue they divide the world into child vs predator. And they always come down on the side protecting the weak child.

You can see this across a number of social, economic and geo poilitical issues.

In terms of war, they look at it as America's selfish predatory instincts preying upon innocent parties in the middle east leading to countless lives lost of the weak.

So how do you get people who think like this to support war?

Simple. Invent a weak, childlike ally in the middle of the war zone, who are being attacked by a notorious hateful predator, and we would be abandoning them if we dont put our troops in harms way.

So, you rebrand the american troop presence as honorable protection rather than predatory intervention. Thats all it takes to manufacture consent.
Yeah, of course performance gains can be had in JavaScript, and I will add to that fact with the experience that I've had when working with JavaScript developers: only one that I've ever known has ever considered performance and worked to produce performant JS before multiple users complained and an issue was raised. All others simply do not care about Javascript performance until there is an issue created to address it.

This single person is also the only JS developer I know who has any clue how to actually improve performance in existing code.

You are missing entire swaths of information about particularly TPB from Wikileaks. Swedish police basically rushed the process when the US embassy said “fucking shut it down or face sanctions.” There were prosecutorial issues and the trial was a complete farce with one of the judges sitting in some copyright lobby’s board of directors. Absolutely made a mockery of justice and due process.

What exactly is so challenging here that you claim is "hate against disabled people"? That those living right on Market St suddenly have to go a tiny bit farther if they want to take Uber?

Very interesting point, it seems that black cabs are specifically required to cater for the disabled [0].

I wonder what the utilisation of taxis by elderly and disabled looks like as a percentage of the total rides. I think finding some mechanism that reduces congestion while catering for this would be attainable.

The anti-intellectual part was to claim that the awarding of prizes to prominent scientists only served to promote a certain ideology. It is like saying that the Nobel Prize for Medicine would exist only to promote orthodox medicine.

> If there was no chemistry prize and Dow Chemical or Bayer stepped in to create one, it wouldn't be anywhere as respected as the actual Chemistry Nobel, would it?

The Nobel Prize was created by the owner of a Swedish chemical and weapons company. I don't see what's so great about it.

And as for the Swedish Central Bank, I think Paul Krugman hit the nail on the head: Oh, and cue the usual complaints that this isn’t a “real” Nobel. Hey, this is just a prize given by a bunch of Swedes, as opposed to the other prizes, which are given out by, um, bunches of Swedes.

I'm sure Blizzard will spend some extra time and resources on the entrance visitations this year so that no one brings anything dangerous with them (or rotten tomatoes), but they will never be able to stop speech or 20 people getting in just to chant Hong Kong. That will be heard until they're carried away and it will dampen the mood over the entire Blizzcon. They have no way to win other than to forcefully remove them, which looks bad too.

So there's no way to win for Blizzard on this one IF anything happens, but they brought it onto themselves and I have a hard time feeling sympathy towards anyone who have such a heavy handed approach to protests for democratic rights and an upheld juridical system. Yes, politics don't belong in a gaming stream but a reprimand towards everyone involved and a cut stream ought to have been enough here.

That's a good question, actually. Had a Nobel Prize in linguistics existed, he'd definitely deserve it. Computer Science arguably for the Chomsky hierarchy of formal languages, but again, there's no Nobel Prize for it. Political Science also has no Nobel Prize. Economics and Peace could be argued, but are probably a bit far-fetched.

Maybe there should be a generalist Nobel Prize for people who contribute across many different fields.

it is merely a monoid with some special property (which, is a logical property of concurrently counting words - "count the number of times a given invariant has changed from the start to the end of a sequence").

he wrote the monoid directly, rather than import the library - and it's a rather unimportant small detail.

He didn't invent a new research topic that nobody has seen before. You would've implicitly done this same thing if you wrote a map/reduce algorithm to count words across different machines.
> All I really want is an OS facility that only executes code that has been installed explicitly by me, and always in a sandbox.

Androids app sandbox is pretty leaky. It has a massive surface area, and the chances of finding exploits to get out of it to find root are high. Also, even from within the sandbox, there are lots of evil things you can do (for example, start on boot, and go fullscreen and use all the ram so the back and home button SystemUI process gets killed and your app is unkillable.).

The 'badness' of the android app model is a big chunk of the reason Google wants to be gatekeeper - otherwise android apps could just load and unload like webpages do. That and profit.
I don’t get why accountability “requires change”— could you explain?
A thing to consider is that these remote methods are not bound to remote workers. I had a job were I had two choices when a certain situation occured that stopped me from finishing work:

1. Find the person involved, talk to them and try to resolve it right away

2. Write a mail to them, print it out, clamp it to the related paper and hang it on the wall.

We were a very tiny 7-person company with rooms in the same building and still the approach outlined in point 1 rarely was more productive than just waiting for them to reply. For situations that happened more often I created email templates so there was even less work.

Another advantage of method 2 is that unresolved work in the end of the day is already taken care of and if you are working in shifts the handover is easier then.
I am depressed by objective things like the die off of birds and bees and acidification of the oceans and temperature rises. I am depressed by the state of humans and their behaviors which are observable if harder to quantify.

And then Google gets ~30% of your donations.
One possible explanation of results:

1. The world is, in fact, pretty messed up a lot of the time.

2. There are different ways to deal with it:

2a. Don't deal well with it; get depressed

2b. Denial: Refuse to face up to how messed up the world is.

2c. Deal with the world in some other way that is neither denial nor depression.

Presumably in their study 2a and 2c would both score more "realistic" and 2b would score less "realistic"; but 2b and 2c would be grouped together in the study, causing the "not depressed" group as a whole to score lower on the "realistic" axis.

IOW, the simplistic conclusion of this study would be, "The only way to avoid being depressed is to go into denial"; but the study may also be consistent with, "One way people avoid being depressed is to go into denial; but there may be ways to avoid depression other than denial".
Are these disabled people really unable to go to the next road for a private car? And if so, are they unable to take the buses, shuttles, taxis and other emergency vehicles that are still allowed on this road?

How close do you need a private vehicle to be exactly? And is Market St in the middle of downtown really the place for someone who needs that accessibility?

Or is this just some out-of-context concern that doesn't really apply to this situation at all?

> Let's not drastically increase job requirements for no good reason.

Well, I would say that it's a very good reason, and that learning about branch prediction and caches is not a "drastic" step by any means.

Is there any software that you write whose users would not be made happier if the software performed better? Any at all?

> Many of these platforms have undocumented CPU instructions

You don't need to know the secrets of a platform to understand branch prediction and caches, or to use that knowledge to produce software that performs far better than software written without that knowledge. You don't need to know the platform on a logic gate level, you need to understand how the platform executes your code, so that you can take advantage of the strengths of the platform. You don't need to know any hidden instructions or secrets to take advantage of the platform.

> we've had CPU-level issues like spectre and meltdown introduced that affected performance in some cases

those things didn't affect performance, the fixes for those things did. The fixes also required no code changes outside of the firmware and the operating system, and knowing the platform is still the best way to write performant software, no matter what is going on to avoid hardware vulnerabilities.
