I think this is highly dependent on culture. If you have a strongly hierarchy based culture where the boss is breathing down your neck all the time, then people are not going to deal well with being given freedom.

I have seen this time and again as a Norwegian, when living abroad. I come from a culture where power hierarchies are quite flat and there is a very high trust level between people. Bosses don't breath down your neck.

I remember an Indian manager who had worked long in Norway remarked on the difficulty of going back to India. People there are used to be bossed around and micromanaged all the time. The result is that it is difficult for them to manage themselves when the boss is gone. He remarked on the frustration of having to be present all the time for work to get done. I had gotten accustomed to not needing that in Norway.

But you don't have to go as far as India to see it. I got family and friends who observed the same in the UK. As soon as the boss left everybody started chatting and chilling.

I could see similar things when I studied in the US. American teenagers were often quite bad at managing themselves away from home. When I stayed over at people's places I realized why. Their parents where far stricter and far more micromanaging than I was used to. Even on campus there was far more rules and control than what would be normal in Northern Europe.

Stuff like that gives short term benefits of people behaving. The long term problem is that people get little to no training in managing themselves and setting their own boundaries. Autonomy and self control is not something you are born with. You have to train on it and learn it.

I find Scandinavian parents are far more tolerant towards kids screwing up and wasting their time. Part of that I think is they know kids must learn to handle situations themselves.

My wife is Asian-American and I know from all the stories she tells me that in Asia where it is even more control oriented and more ambitious it becomes even harder. Parents and teachers make all the "optimal" choices for you all the time, to push for success. She has family members who never chose even what clothes they wore all through childhood. Parents made all the choices.

I had a friend from Singapore. She remarked on how difficult it was coming to the US as a teenager. Suddenly teachers wanted to know her opinion on a variety of issues and subjects. But nobody had ever asked her opinion on anything before.

So I can imagine that remote working in Asia is going to be a lot harder than for many western countries. Even within the West there will be big differences in how well it can work.

But just so it is clear. I don't think the ability to work remote is inherent in people. I think with training Asian societies and workers can develop a culture for more independent working and working from home.

You can keep a phone number as long as you like. If you accidentally delete it or allow it to expire, then we can probably, on a best-effort basis, recover the phone number for you if you alert us quickly after you make the mistake. Once we have done a resupply of the SIM card pool the SIMs that have been used and are no longer in use are destroyed, at which point we can't get the number back for you.

There's no lack of charity. I would know, I wrote it. And the downvotes occurred before the community critique. Which also must have hit a nerve.

I think meta-questioning "do you even need to ask other's what this is about, why not let it work on you first" is responding to the strongest version of what was said, much stronger than simply answering the question.

People misinterpret dissent of the line for hostility, more so with something unfamiliar, where they want even more to have an answer "what is it". It's not very intellectually humble, but it is hilarious.

Interpreting hostility in my response ought to violate guidelines as well. Why should I be punished for others mistaken interpretations of hostility?

I think it's more about them reacting to their own misinterpretation.

I think it's a consequence of HN self-optimizes for people to be able to efficiently not just learn content from an article, but efficiently form an opinion from the comments. It's not so easy to form an opinion when there's multiple valid strands. I think people are projecting their expectation to not be confused.

"Don't tell me to expand my mind, just tell me what to think." It's not my problem if people get uncomfortable forming their own opinions sometimes. I think it's a good thing to have your own interpretation of Kicks Condor. That doesn't hurt anyone...but it might take you a bit of time/effort/discomfort to form it.

I guess I'm OK to do things that way because I grew up going to a lot of art galleries. Comfortable with ambiguity in some things. I think it's funny how engineers need everything to be explicit, and how that's connected to programming needing that as well. I think they could laugh at that about themselves, rather than getting seriously grumpy and hating on me...but hey, that's them, not me.

Thanks. It brings a smile to my face how discussion forums take themselves so seriously, thinking they're all about robust discussion, but go batshit crazy on some dissenting points. I mean, this wasn't even flame war. I think a lot of it is about the medium, not the message. If you had a room of people, and I said that, maybe some engineer would have grumpily harrumphed and rolled their eyes, but I don't think it would have become a hate-fest or shouting match.

Think before you type, I guess. I do enjoy needling that narrow-mindedness like this tho, I think optimizing a little more for openness to experience is a good thing in the eng world.
You’re right, negative real returns definitely happen - but that’s not the interest rate. Interest rates apply to loans, not assets.
Ironicallly, it's actually iamleppert's post that seems to be misrepresenting things.

Firstly, the Dalio doesn't say "trust me" anywhere. The word trust doesn't appear in it at all, and the closest it gets semantically is the closing paragraph where he says:

You are now faced with a choice. You can believe my account of what’s happening or The Wall Street Journal’s. What you do is up to you.

The story he's taking argument with is about inter-personal relationships and subjective claims so it's hard to prove anything about it objectively. But nonetheless, he actually has "provided any kind of evidence or arguments to support any of his other hyperbolic claims of systemic problems in journalism of the WSJ".

Specifically this: Dalio states that one of the journalists applied for a job at his company and was rejected, the WSJ knew that, and kept him on the story anyway. That would create a problematic conflict of interest (plus it seems Bridgewater and this specific journalist have a long running fight of some sort). The claim is uncheckable directly but the journalist has replied to Dalio's post with nothing more than a link to his article and "Happy Sunday". If such a very specific and problematic accusation were false, presumably he'd dispute that.

To me that's sufficient to support his claim of bad journalism at the WSJ. It's not a claim hyperbolic if they're assigning failed job candidates to cover a company.

He also disputes the other claims but both the WSJ and his position seem very subjective, it's all about to what extent he really controls the firm and whether there have been internal fights or not. I don't see any way to judge who's right there. You'd have to believe in the WSJ's process for finding the truth to take a side here, but as they rely entirely on anonymous sources and already failed step 1 "no conflicts of interest", I don't see why we should automatically assume the WSJ story is true here.
It's an incentive to not release stuff that breaks in the middle of the night.

>" If there were no landlords, the houses would be bought only by people who intend to live in them"

That would be a good thing. Housing would be cheaper, because people wouldn't be priced out of the market by rent seekers with large capital.

Housing should not be an investment object, it should be for living in.

Most western countries have a large surplus of housing, but a lot of people can't afford to live there. The landlords and speculators would rather have houses stand empty than reduce their profits. All the while, there are homeless people on the streets. Letting perfectly good housing stand empty solely for the sake of profits is morally reprehensible.

Am I? Is it? I thought the characterization of people wanting an answer, not to be told to expand their mind, especially with something ambiguous was pretty accurate. That and a smaller number of people misinterpreting hostile intent.

I don't think it contradicts people also upvoting the submission. People like it, but don't want to be told they have to work for their own opinion on it. People come to comments expecting to get an opinion, not be told, "sorry, you're on your own with this one." Go back and read the comments I wrote here, maybe you'll learn something.

In addition, I do think engineers don't like having "what they don't know" pointed out to them, because they're job requires them to have answers. And I think they are willing to misinterpret that as hostile because of the shame they feel at not knowing something. It's just inaccurate projection. But in many other areas, ambiguity, openness and not having the answers are like good things.

I think people in hard tech can have more of that, that's all, bro.
It's not "incoherent" to argue that the price should be less than one cent.

Hmmming and hawing about 10-25c per article wouldn't happen at 0.1 cent per article, or some other subcent amount.
Unless they use your easy going cooperativeness to run you in circles, endlessly delaying something they don't want to happen. Or constantly delivering only a token amount of their side of any compromise deal to cause re-compromises etc.

Sometimes soft negotiations have to turn to hard negotiations. In fact, I would argue that the potential to turn into a hard negotiation - but not yet being such - is a key factor in making soft negotiations work.
sure, but that's not the point of the letter. I've just finished reading the whole thing, and it honestly seems to me that those unfortunate enough to have been named Alexa by their parents should have their names legally changed. It seemed funny at first, but now it just seems like a travesty.
I don't like the example. Unless I'm missing something, all three of these are exactly equivalent, so you could accept any of them as the result of a merge.

But the problem with that idea is that two different people explicitly made a change that looks meaningless. That tells us that we're evaluating "equivalent" incorrectly, which means we don't actually have any remaining justification for picking one over another, and the conflict is hopeless without further input.
With all this talk US military has been doing about the changing theater of war in XXI century, about how it needs to refocus on effective operations in urban areas, I wonder: do they always assume that the power grid will be off? If not, then there may be some utility in a light and fast electric vehicle that parasites off enemy's power grid (and has solars or diesel aggregate as backup).

Also, did the military consider hybrid vehicles for similar role? They have the capacity to operate off-grid, and also switch to completely silent when tactically useful.

Last company I worked at (~500 employees), almost 4 years ago, I was handed a desktop computer with the current top of the line i7, 32 gigs of RAM, 512 GB SSD and an HDD. No dedicated GPU but didn't do any GPU work so it didn't matter.
A single QHD 32" monitor was provided. You could potentially request a second one, but in practice no one in my team asked for a second one.

Right now, at the smaller startup I'm working for, I'm using a Dell XPS 13. What was at the time the top CPU configuration but only 16 gigs of RAM. An additional Full HD monitor was provided but you could easily ask for more.

This is one of the reasons I think we'll soon be talking about more than 'just' climate change, as the problem is much bigger still: we are committing planet-wide ecocide.

Also maybe more focus on root causes will follow: that we are still promoting unbridled consumerism, and that inequality created an upper class that is trying to maintain the status quo. More focus on the latter is already happening.
If shareholders were indeed "rich dudes", then why do you have a problem with rich dudes paying too much money to other rich dudes for being executives? With that logic, "normal" folk don't even enter into the equation, do they?

Institutional investor is not a euphemism for "rich dudes". Institutional investors are overwhelmingly things like pension funds and insurance companies, whose clients are people like you and me. -- Even more so in Europe, where stock ownership by individuals and private equity makes up an even smaller proportion than it does in the U.S., and top-level executives in large corporates still make a lot of money.

If a pension fund wanted to, it could represent the interests of pension fund holders in general meetings, although I will grant to you that they don't usually live up to that duty. But that doesn't mean that such a thing as shareholder activism doesn't exist. We are seeing increasing activity by agencies who collect proxies from institutional investors to push for change around certain issues at shareholders' meetings.

...even with all of that discussion, I really don't see why employee activitsm is needed over shareholder activism to rectify the situation, if indeed there were something wrong with the situation.

Furthermore, I don't believe that there is anything wrong with the situation: A C-Suite executive at an S&P 500 corporate or a EuroStoxx 500 corporation should, in my opinion, make more money than a football player or Hollywood star, because what they do is actually more valuable. -- For some reason, the general public never complains about the level of compensation of the latter, even when, as is the case in Europe, it is the taxpayer who pays for this through mandatory contributions to public broadcasting (which, in turn, get used to pay for broadcast rights to sports events and so forth).

I think it is a free-thinking rebellion against a certain type of conformity. I think that's a good thing, something that should be welcomed.

You don't know what's honest, hostile or pompous, only your interpretation. Pretend that's the truth? Don't impose that.

It's even harder through text when you don't have tone of voice, body language, other context. So you should be careful before leaping to accuse a hostile intent, don't you think?

Why should my comment be any less valid than the question. I don't think the question was bad at all. Don't judge stuff like that.

Your misinterpreting hostile intent should be a violation of the HN guidelines. That's not responding to the strongest version of what I said, that's misrepresenting to a straw man so you can hate on it. It's not my problem if you need to hate on something. That pal has nothing to do with me, so don't make it about me, huh?

Pretty clear I would think.

Also, "controversial" and "banal" depends on who you are, and context. When you put it like that...inspires me to think people maybe don't like having something obvious, but off-message pointed out to them? They want an answer, don't tell them to expand their mind.

But...teach people how to fish, not feed them, right?
Due to ODbL licence they can't mix OSM data directly with other data.

The ODbL has no restrictions on mixing, unlike the creative commons “no derivies” clause. The ODbL just says that you need to share those changes, and that new database, with everyone else. If we give you OSM data, you should give us back the data you combine with it.

If the other dataset doesn't allow that, then the restriction is from that dataset's licence, not from OSM's ODbL.
