It would be fun to pair this with a program that outputs the amount of liquid collected, with the display delayed by the amount of time it took for the previous droplet to fall.

Also, perhaps Musk thinks that having public retail investors is worth it. After all, even though they contribute approximately 0% to Tesla's funding, retail investors and owners generate approximately 100% of the hype, online content and general proselytizing. That is, someone will have to defend Starlink from accusations that it has ruined the sky, and Musk alone can't do it.
Which of course can never work in an office environment. Leave your desk for every Zoom/WebEx conference call? Whisper with the colleague who needs to talk to you for a minute about something? You're not going to decamp to a meeting area for all the daily grind stuff- so the open area is always going to be interruptingly loud.
A lot of the time hiring decisions are more or less arbitrary. It makes me sad how unsystematic the approach to hiring is, but it often comes down to one person that you talk to liking you enough after an hour of talking that they're willing to go to bat for you. The fact is there often is not any good feedback to give.
Remote Collaboration Tools
100% this, you've described perfectly how I feel. It's not something I have control over either. Even in high school, I've had to close the doors to my room to be able to focus on learning. I can work in a team on a common task requiring constant interaction (e.g. brainstorming, negotiating, designing), but if a task requires individual focus (like programming), I have to expend significant emotional energy on managing my anxiety if my work area is in the open.

I know I'm not alone in this; the last time I worked in an office, we were technically in a semi-open space (8 people in a room), but the desks and monitors got subtly but quickly rearranged to block everyone's line-of-sight to everyone else.
It'll be interesting to see if SpaceX's Starlink LEO internet service will spur remote workers to spread out even further into places like Montana. We've already had to deal with some remote workers relocating to developing countries and in one case, even an active warzone, without telling the company first.
Interesting you're getting downvotes. Not sure if the general audience or not. Regardless, the primary motivation to get a worker in a highly consolidated industry to blow the whistle is for them not to feel like they only have one choice. I can see where Boeing having consolidated as much as it has can give the culture extra resilience against employee disruption simply from the fact there isn't anywhere else to go.
I haven't read the article, but it is off-point to say no-one sues. History has no effect on what someone will do tomorrow - exposure is what companies try to limit.

The sueing angle kicks in when you do stuff like give feedback for folks who you think will take it well Vs keep it away from folks who give you a bad feeling or whatever. It is all exposure.

Almost in all the companies I have been at, there has been a big push to keep the interview experience uniform for all candidates. So you can't have hugely different loops setup for the same level for different candidates for example.

Fun fact: This is a main reason why as a company grows, you aren't able to get in with a wink and a nod anymore, even if you know 100% of the folks already there.
In this case the sad thing is that the thread filled up for hours before we noticed the actual topic and changed the title. If people would discuss the study, which is the new information here, the discussion might be less generic.

Don't assume that these sales people are so happy to work overtime. They probably rely on commission and/or need to hit that sales target. Sales teams are known for super-competitive, target-driven, and high-pressure culture. We software engineers have it easy in comparison.

SpaceX & Starlink are symbiotic, but do look like distinctly separate businesses. Each wouldn't want to be subject to major problems of the other: if one suffers disasters, other isn't financially impacted. An "at cost" arrangement would greatly benefit both, former getting $ to cover launches (by which they can test & commoditize equipment/process), latter getting cheap transport.

Yeah, optical storage wouldn't trigger the metal detectors either, but those drives are uncommon now. Similarly, you wouldn't have a MicroSD device in the secure env.

I wonder if you could do a kind of power over ethernet thing, where you increase the system's power draw in a precise manner that gets a signal outside the Faraday cage, since presumably your power will come from an external cable.

> My kid is only two, so I'm not quite there yet, but most of this children's advertising makes my skin crawl. I'm glad to see that I was right about Paw Patrol, it's clearly modeled to be source for many lines of toys (wide cast of characters, each with their own theme and accompanying accessories that can be infinitely re purposed in different toy sets). Slap on "super hero" mode and you've added a whole other dimension to the matrix of possible toys.

That was always the case though. Star Wars isn't worth billions because of the movies, it's worth billions because of the branded products.

Never seen Transformers toys? GI Joe? TMNT? Childrens TV shows were always about selling toys, that was always the bread and butter.

I agree with everything else though, theses unboxing videos and theses "loot crate", they are quite new and play with the instant dopamine rush. They are quite dangerous and seriously need to be stopped. It's crazy that the FTC put so much effort with COPPA to stop "tracking kids" on Youtube, but did nothing against theses kind of videos.
A lot of that loss is water weight, though.

Employee hours. Someone has to collect, document, sanitize, and explain the feedback. Then respond to the response to the feedback. In the time it takes our recruiter to provide feedback to a candidate, they could have sourced 20 more candidates.

edit: I'll argue instant feedback is even more expensive and risky. It's not coordinated, potentially duplicative, may impact/contaminate later rounds, and may not be complete or representative of the interview as a whole. Engineers aren't known for being naturally HR/legal-compliant, and having multiple expensive engineers spend time doing things not in their typical skillset that's typically done by a single resource that specializes in said skillset doesn't sound cheaper at all.

> It is all about efficient use of real estate.

To be completely accurate, it's all about maximizing profit and minimizing costs, which in this case means having as many people in a given amount of floor space as is legally possible.

The benefit of the low cost per person of office space is weighed against the negatives:

* Employee attitude/positive workplace (hard to measure)

* Difficulties introduced to the workplace by the increased density - noise, psychological effects, smells, etc (hard to measure/easily dismissed)

* A less pleasant workplace makes employee retention work less well (difficult to measure)

The other up side of the open plan space is that it's a project that an otherwise ineffective manager can do to appear valuable.

The real elephant in the room of open plan offices is "hoteling", IE employees are supposed to sit down at the first open space and start working. The real reason this is implemented is that assigning spaces in an open plan is difficult, and hoteling avoids arguments over who gets the better spot (near the restrooms, vending machines, windows, or whatever) and avoids the work of tracking employee seating and doing assignments.

However, in every single open plan space I've worked in, everyone sits in the same location every day. Despite this being obvious, no one ever seems to remember this when they decide on yet another open plan office conversion.
im not sure what any of this has to do with introversion
Thanks. :) This is a hobby for me, an experiment in entrepreneurship. I have a day job that pays well enough that I'm free to quit the side business at any time, which I may do soon.

The alternative I'm mulling over in my mind is to push the next rev that I've been testing which will reduce material costs another 25%, and then actually market the product to increase volume 3-5x (100% of current sales are from organic traffic, mostly google searches). That kind of effort requires a lot of upfront investment in time I currently don't have, though. And even then I wouldn't be comfortable quitting my day job. So we'll see. My heart is telling me to stop, but my brain is chanting, "student loan payoff."
Yeah, it's not new. It's a tried and true strategy that has been refined over the decades. That doesn't make it any better. It was as slimy then as it is now.

The speculative execution stuff is fascinating and a little terrifying but, for the most part, has been of little practical impact so far, at least after the first round of Meltdown/Spectre fixes.

Attacks on various hash functions are not really a thing. We've known not to use SHA-1 for over a decade, and cryptographers working in the space have started saying we may never find a viable preimage attack on MD5, let alone SHA-1. We are on pretty sound footing with hash functions; what you were doing in a competent system 10 years ago (using SHA-2) is still the right thing today.

I've been a vulnerability researcher since around 1995. I feel significantly better about security today than I have at any point in the past. We've been doing an imperfect but steady job of shutting down bug classes for decades, with the obvious and most important factor being the deprecation of insecure systems languages.
None of the listed methods are novel. Most are elaborate ways of saying "privilege escalation".

If an untrusted process can escalate to root, ptrace to unrelated processes, or access memory outside your process, it was never really contained in the first place.

Do also note that none of the listed methods works in what the presentation itself calls a "reasonable chroot".

Considering the core symptom involves thinking your own problems are either nonexistent or caused by someone else, it makes sense why the shelves aren't overflowing with self help book for narcissists.

-Regular appointments with a therapist. (Don't go expecting an 'atta boy'--expect to be pushed outside your comfort zone of false invulnerability and expect to resent your therapist with every cell in your body while this is happening. If you find them just giving you 'atta boys' you should get a different therapist).

Well known narcissism-obsessed psychiatry blogger "The Last Psychiatrist" has discussed this a lot, most relevantly in https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2009/01/can_narcissism_be_cu... and https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/02/the_other_ego_epidem....

Here's (his version of) the tl;dr answer:

> "Help me, please, I think I'm a narcissist. What do I do?"

> There are a hundred correct answers, yet all of them useless, all of them will fail precisely because you want to hear them.

> There's only one that's universally effective, I've said it before and no one liked it. This is step 1: fake it.

> You'll say: but this isn't a treatment, this doesn't make a real change in me, this isn't going to make me less of a narcissist if I'm faking!

> All of those answers are the narcissism talking. All of those answers miss the point: your treatment isn't for you, it's for everyone else.

> If you do not understand this, repeat step 1.
Is it because they have fewer ties to the place where they grew up and they're more willing to move to a new city to make more money?

Formally verified software still has its limitations. Knuth's famous "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." is funny but true.

Formal verification is a good and useful tool, but it provably cannot cover the entire system, and practical limitations will limit it even further.

Formal verification of source code is still subject to compiler bugs. Formally proven compilers are subject to bugs in the larger system (IIRC Csmith was able to find an incorrectness in code generated by CompCert because of a bug in a system header file).
> There's a different form of positive selection bias for that: to survive in a country where you're there illegally, cut off from many high-paying jobs because of that, and may be deported at any time, it takes a particular form of resourcefulness and ambition.

We can replace "illegal immigration" in the above statement with any other illegal activities and it will still hold true.
> The only thing I can do is put on my trusty noise-cancelling headphones, thanks god for this miraculous technology in this noisy world.

Noise-canceling headphones help a lot, but I've tried all the most expensive, top-of-the-line ones, and unless you play some sound (which, no matter what you play, is tiring in the long run) you can still hear people talk, they just remove the lower frequencies.
Foucault would also argue that open-office is the best office plan. His ideas of the power structure behind discipline reach far beyond what the penal system implemented them as.

^- THIS. And to be fair, it's probably nearly always the right decision for a startup that has no idea if it will even be able to put out its first product. Sinking like $300k into an office build-out of any kind before you hire your first key staff would be nuts.

So a startup pretty much automatically is gonna start out looking like what you described in #2. And the inertia keeps them with that setup even after they have the funds to do it right. AND then the big companies wanted to "skin" their environments to look like a startup - so they opt for commercial open office furniture that, while the costs are still dramatically more than the IKEA route, usually offers little actual advantage over the $60 tables and chairs of the real early-stage startup.
