One solution I almost never hear talked about is on the employment side. How about if employers are encouraged to not crowd into dense cities? I've seen some employers offer "remote working" as an option. Quite literally, there is a remote office opened up so the employee doesn't have to either commute into work or they can relocate to a place with affordable housing. I've seen it where a bay area company opened up a remote office in Modesto, CA and over a dozen employees completely relocated out of the bay area entirely. It was mostly older employees that were fed up with all the issues in the bay area. Some even went on to say that the remote office was the best decision the company ever made.

I don't usually have this issue, but when I do I find just focusing on breath, meditation style, helps. As soon as you notice yourself thinking, acknowledge the thought gently, and then let it go. At least for me (with a bit of practice) this can head off any thoughts before they can get started, and eventually allow things to quiet down.
Business success isn't a function of technical/artistic quality in any field. There's a loose correlation sure, but there are hundreds or thousands of examples where poorly written/made books, TV shows, music, films, games etc also did really well commercially as well as the opposite. Many would say something like Firefly is better than something like Twilight, but one made millions of dollars and the other got cancelled in two seasons.

Knowing what to make and who to market it to will usually matter a lot more than how you build it.

That's because it's not 100% clear, even to us. Think of it a bit like a bunch of people pulling stuff out of a burning building. [0] We know there's more to be saved, because we can see more boxes in the building, but we haven't taken the time to see what's in the boxes we already have.

Yahoo aren't making this easier, either. (Blocking our efforts, unreliable servers, limiting what can be downloaded, providing incomplete archives, etc...)

Once the dust has settled we'll be able to start going through what was saved. There have been a lot of really interesting aspects to this project that I hadn't encountered before, and I hope to document them when I have the time.

Neither; having an internal monologue doesn't necessarily mean you're constantly using it for everything, much like having speech. Though I would say it's harder to prevent oneself from "monologuizing" too much (particularly in situation of anxiety, and such) than from speaking too much, hence the meditation techniques designed to help with that. But no, at least for me there's no automatic verbalization of all thoughts.

"But that type of communication threatens patents..."

Patents, for all their downsides, are designed to get scientists to share results. Without patents you have enormous disincentive to sharing repeatable results: you can't charge money for it if anyone can go and copy you. With patents, you can freely share results and still charge money.

Should patents last as long as they do? Should there be a cap on how much companies can charge for patented medicine, since it's effectively a temporary government-granted monopoly on curing disease? All reasonable questions, but I don't think abolishing (non-software) patents would improve communication between scientists.
There is a science fiction novel by Robert J. Sawyer titled "Quantum Night" which touches on this. Basically, "three states of minds" which amount to "normal, zombie, psychopath".

Incorporating an LLC alone (the equivalent of a c-corp is rarely used by startups over here) requires 3,000 EUR in the bank plus about the same amount in legal fees.

At least when I did start a Sociedad Limitada (LLC) around 8 years ago these 3,000 euro did not need to be provided in cash. Most -all? I cannot remember- of them could be the value of things you owned, like a computer (serial number provided). The valuation of the computer or similar was taken at face value. In case of debt from your company they would take these goods used as capital.

There are initiatives in some cities, like Barcelona Activa, so make it easier to start a company (simpler forms too) but overall I agree it is still a bit bureaucratic.
If I understand correctly, they make their money from services and proprietary tools built on their open core.

In other words, those efforts subsidize the open source software development, and by implication, non-open source is more likely to be revenue generating.

My overall impression is that OSS should be seen as marketing?

> customers, OSS consumers, get something for free

It is also possible to sell, for money, software under an open source license, and not simply give it away at no cost.

> Sustainable open source projects are ones that spawn sustainable businesses.

That is not true. A sustainable open source project can be funded by long-term government funding, research grants, and the like. Eg, https://casa.nrao.edu/ for radio astronomy has been around for at least 30 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIPS++ ) as an open source project.

Another sustainable open source project is one which reduces costs for one business, even if it's not possible to spawn sustainable businesses with it.

Eg,

Your comment just reminded me of a dream I had, I think last night coincidentally. I am also not a visual person, and while I can visualize things, do object manipulation, and that kind of thing in my mind, it's quite difficult for me to pull up more than a hazy metal picture of something, and anything I do get in detail tends to be ephemeral.

Anyway, last night (I think) I had a dream where I was able to pull up an essentially photographic mental picture of something. I recall spending some time analyzing it and being amazed at the level of detail and permanence, knowing that that's not usually how I experience things.

Of course, recalling it now, I can only bring to mind a hazy picture of what I experienced. (I think there was a field of some kind and maybe trees?) But now I'm curious... did I actually see that clear mental picture in the dream? Or did I only have, like, the idea of doing so?

> it seems so difficult to switch

I had an experience changing email address in the past and it's not that difficult, it's just time consuming. What I did is said to myself "that's it, I'm using this new address from now on". Then over the course of a year I monitored old email and evaluated each message. If I needed it (online shopping account, banking, etc), I went to whatever service sent it and changed my email. Some services don't support changing emails, in that case I would accept the loss and create a new account.

> Can anybody using ProtonMail recommend it?

Privacy concerns aside, to me it's not better nor worse than any other email provider. There is a caveat though. On Android (and web app) you can't search through messages' bodies, only by subject/sender/etc. This is because they don't index them. You can do this on desktop if you're using Bridge app with, say, Thunderbird. Thunderbird then will do the indexing.

The value might be a reputation for trustworthiness and fair dealing.

Those "freeloading" accounts are offered by companies to users, for the company's benefit, in order to strengthen their market position and lure users into a trap where they'll have little choice but to pay extortionate prices once they've developed a dependence on the service.
I've had a similar case to this problem, not in research but with production data for a company. Decisions were made with wrong data and therefore, bad decisions. It's really an agony and hard to swallow. But the best thing to do is, as you did, face it and be honest with yourself and all the others and admit the error.

I think this is part of being a data scientist.
I find the fediverse (Mastodon et al) to be a very refreshing place to hangout. Considering to ditch Twitter entirely.
Say you're planning to write a letter (or an email), but you're not actually sitting at your computer to do it right at that time. You're in the shower, or walking around or whatever. Will you play out specific sentences you intend to include, in your mind? Could you do that if you wanted to?
I spend a great deal of time worrying about what we'd do if a few hundred thousand exact clones of me appeared. Should we congregate, maybe seize an uninhabited island or form a town, or should we scatter to the four winds? How would we deal with our darkest secrets or quirks being public knowledge? Would we cooperate or conflict violently?

I think it's all my internal monologue voices feeling trapped living in one head. At least we're self-aware..

If containment measures begun on January 22 are effective, cases should begin falling from trend over the next few days (27th through Feb 5 or so). We're at about 10,000 identified cases, I expect that will climb to ~50k, with about 1,000 - 2,000 deaths.

I'm not an epidemiologist, but rather a space alien cat, so factor accordingly.

I don't know what the state of generic metaprogramming is in rust, I guess that having a powerful macro system helps keeping it under control.

I understand thinking in concepts but not words, and I understand having an internal monolog, but it seems like you're describing a third option, unless I'm just misunderstanding. Obviously everyone's internal monolog is literally silent, as they're not speaking out loud, but it's most naturally described as 'hearing' the words in your head. (As opposed to literally hearing with your ears.)

It sounds like you're saying you will 'verbalize' your conceptual thoughts, ie put them into words, but not actually process the sounds of those words in your head? In what way do you think of the words then? As text? Or do you somehow think of words themselves using, like, the concept of each word, without mentally hearing their sounds?

If so, that is unfamiliar to me. Maybe I do it, but it's not something I recall being consciously aware of.

While great radio stations solve the issue of finding new music, finding great radio stations is even harder than finding new music.

I've been lucky to have moved a few times and discovered some great local radio stations along the way. They still make up the larger part of new music I discover. But I agree, mainstream stations are very unlikely to do this for you, and there's currently no good way to discover good radio stations.
Oh, you touched a thing that bugs me sometimes. Some of people are so definitive, as in they need instant direct “tell me then” answers (which must fit their current level of understanding) and not explorative questions. I find being in a superposition and waiting for things to [not] happen much more insightful and learn-able than requesting explanations right here right now, as it doesn’t fixate your thinking. I don’t want to bait a flame here, but I came to a conclusion that widespread religion is a consequence of this. People are uncomfortable when things are unexplained and when thought experiments bring more and more hard questions to the table. God may exist or not, and that’s an interesting question, but for them it is not the question, but just a way to clear the table once and forever. (It’s not about all religious people, and I have enough counterexamples, but few of my close links fell to goddidit pit under heavy indoctrination pressure.)

>I also estimated the 10 or 15 minute smoke breaks meant that my coworker made $5/hour more than me when were actually paid the same rate. He was adamant they were not breaks it was just a "quick smoke" but he was gone for 10 or 15 minutes every hour

That doesn't sound right; the pattern I've generally seen for pack(s)-a-day people is they take similar smoke breaks as pack-a-week people -- something like once every few hours. But they'll smoke multiple cigarettes in that break. This would also make sense if you imagine nicotine decrease rate as constant, but number of cigarettes required to hit "satisfied" as steadily-increasing, though I don't know if that's the case.

Additionally, IME, smoking or not, I've noticed that most people follow the pattern of

1. Do a decent chunk of work for a few hours
2. Dick around for 20 minutes, especially if they just finished something notable

where that 20 minutes get spent on coffee breaks, smoke breaks, chatting around, etc.

Most of the "hard workers" spend more total hours, not more continuous hours, as far as I've seen. Of course, intentional abuse of the break is another matter, but that's independent of smoking

Truth be told, the most practical solution is to stop centralising everything and using these giant social networking sites that force people with nothing in common together. The bigger your audience gets and the less focused on any one topic it is, the harder it is to moderate/keep under the control, and the more drama you'll inevitably have when groups clash there.

Smaller internet forums, subreddits, Discord/Slack groups, etc tend to be a lot more civil than the likes of Twitter or YouTube are.

So a revival of those types of sites and communities will help a lot.

As will returning to the days of multi pseudonyms for different websites. Because people are not one sided. They don't always act the same way in every setting.

No, their behaviour depends on the company they're with. They might act one way with family, another way with friends, another way at work, etc.

That's how society stays together to some degree. People don't know how others act in other settings, and they don't care. Your coworkers likely have a whole mix of political opinions, but since it likely doesn't come up during work, it doesn't really matter.

Social networks seem to be trying to demolish this sense of separation between sides of people's personalities, and that's making society more and more fragile, as one wrong move means someone's entire life gets destroyed by the internet mob.

Oh, and decent moderation too. Unfortunately for Facebook and co, you can't automate moderation and expect it to work well, and you can't outsource it to a bunch of full time employees in a distant office somewhere. It has to be done by people with a real investment in the community, which is again where a well run small community shines.

Ask HN: What is your workdesk setup at company? Dedicated Desktop/Laptop/? or
Hi,
I would like to know the office/workspace hardware and s/w configuration of different companies.

- In past I worked in small IT company, we had a single network with not much restriction, we were allowed to experiment with setup. For hardware, we had three desktops, two Laptotps, an iMac 21", A Mackbook Pro 18". Typical desktop was i5 processor, 8-16Gigs Ram, 1TB HDD and a mediocre graphic card. One developer liked to use desktop with multiple screen setup.
We also had three different genration iPhones, an iPad and five android phones as testing devices.

One desktop was setup as server,every developer had his own work directory on that. One could login from any PC and work.
For version controlling we had at SVN first, later migrated to git and github private repo.

-Current Setup,
Currently I have a desktop pc with almost same config as above with extra ram and added SSD.

> I'm not persuaded. There's no such thing as "understand just fine now". Ponzi schemes have been understood since the 1920s, but people keep falling for them. More sophisticated investors can get taken by more sophisticated tricks. Having worked for financial traders, I know just how pleased people can be to have pulled one over on people they see as adversaries.

You could make this argument about literally anything. You're not really saying anything specific to CDOs here, so I can't really give you a more specific response.

> I agree it's possible that these assets could be fine now, either because people have truly learned a lesson, or just because of the "once bitten, twice shy" reaction that takes a few decades to wear off. But the principle by which you declare them fine, namely that all assets are fine, is definitely wrong.

All assets are fine if you understand their risks. Sometimes we deem certain people or groups insufficiently responsible to handle the risks of certain assets. Non-accredited investors are not allowed to invest in private companies. The United States bans "contracts for difference", etc..

I think the problems with CDOs are extremely well understood at this point by everyone in that market. It has been one of the most studied issues of the last decade in quantitative economics. That isn't to say that it's impossible that there's some lurking risk we don't yet get. There absolutely could be. But the probability is much lower than basically any other complex asset class, precisely because this is the one that blew up last time.

If you want to go hunting for latent risk, CDOs are literally the last place you should look. Our economy is chock full of astoundingly complex financial instruments. If you are worried about CDOs because they blew up last time, you are really really missing the point.

If we used your system for banning assets, we'd have banned the stock market in 1929. We'd have banned tech stocks in 2001. Argentina would have basically banned all money by now.

My point is: just pointing at the fact that something blew up once is an insufficient argument that it is not worth the risk. The pattern of "new thing blows up in our face" is quite common across things that turn out to be incredibly valuable and useful. The question at hand is whether we understand it sufficiently well now to use it safely. And the answer is pretty unequivocally yes. We know what we did wrong with CDOs and we know how to correct for it.
