I realize it's opinion, but I'm amazed that people think cubicles are privacy. I get that you feel more productive and that there is likely a reduction in visual distraction but it's an illusion of privacy, it ends up being a "lesser of two evils" scenario. Providing everyone with an office that has a closing door (while more expensive) has the highest productivity outcome.

Fun dive into history, the guy who invented cubicles regretted doing it[1].

You'd be surprised, it doesn't seem like a lot but there is a big difference between having to stand up and walk over and leaning over, or kicking your chair over.
Is 4GB enough with the current web browsers and web pages? It feels like 8GB is the minimum for normal users, and 16GB is the minimum for software developers. I have a 4GB Chromebook and a 4GB MacBookAir, and they are both somewhat painful to use these days, even with ad blockers.

I see that you've worked to raise some good points here and that you're not simply reducing this to whataboutism, right? I find it acceptable that a person focuses on their area of interest and expertise and reports what they find. I don't expect or want him to get into a 360 degree product review. Let's save "electric shock hazards, sharp edges" for someone else, and if they find nothing, that does not diminish his own findings, yes?

After reading his analysis, I'm not sure how much I can trust Wacom's behavior when it comes to data collection. My concerns don't then jump to sharp edges and electrical shocks. I think about data retention. How well do they protect that data? I think about what Wacom might do with that detail of personal behavioral information if approached by a data broker with cash in hand and ready to make a purchase.
That's very astute. I'm a Canadian living in the US and I ran away in 1996 during the terrible recession with the perception that life was better in the US.
I've been cycling for transportation for over 10 years. I don't know anyone who advocates for running reds who has rode a similar amount of time or longer. I have heard that argument before, but I think it underestimates the damage to the reputation of cyclists involved. Also, more experienced cyclists tend to take the lane at intersections, which would be a better way to avoid jockeying for space.

> Later, the weak men couldn't properly finish a war. Vietnam was winnable, but that didn't happen by choice. The weak men were unwilling to sacrifice even mere comfort for their own nation, so they did things like outsourcing to cut costs.

This ignores some complex geopolitics of not drawing a nuclear superpower in to open conflict with us.
Thanks for the post, tipped me off to the current rock-bottom ram prices to max out the ram of my desktop I built 5 years ago.
For what it's worth, "esoteric", meaning "understood only by a small number of people", doesn't really make sense in this context.
>As far as definitions go, my definition of "socialism" is actual socialism, not social democracy.

Again, most Americans will disagree with you. The definition of a word is whatever most people agree it is.

>This quote is overused at this point, but Danish PM Rasmussen explicitly clarifies

No one in Denmark has any authority to define a word in the English language as used by Americans.

>Adding central planning to ameliorate some of the rough edges of market economies does not create a socialist state.

According to Americans, it absolutely does.

>So no, free market capitalism is not indistinguishable from crony capitalism.

Again, according to many Americans it is.

Here's a challenge for you: pick out 100 different rural counties across America. Go to each county, and take a poll, asking them, "Is Denmark a socialist country?" I guarantee you that a clear majority of those polled will answer "yes".
The issue here isn't that this guy can see and control the the vehicle without the next owner knowing. It's that the entire corporate world and government can see and control the vehicle without the next owner knowing. This is increasingly true across the board, regardless of trim level.

I was excited about Rivian as a family friendly electric vehicle. Then they decided to add Alexa (due to an investment by Amazon) and reminded me why I will likely die driving my 1980s SUV.
FWIW, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 removed screen in favor of tmux.
There's also significant selection bias on the entry side. U.S. immigration policies are heavily biased towards people with unique skills, high levels of education, and a fair amount of money in their home country, and biased against people who are likely to be a drain on public assistance. That means that most hyphenated-Americans have already passed two significant high-pass filters: they have to be willing to uproot their whole life to leave, and they have to bring enough to the table to convince U.S. immigration to let them in.
Sounds a lot like Gentoo
Yeah they should team up with the guys that made the "anti-solar panel" :

EDIT: No, wait, that's a different team that the one I had in mind ? I seem to remember them using a complex material that specifically took advantage of this "infrared window" ??

EDIT2 : Ok, same guy(s), slightly different device :

> A thin wafer of germanium had the right properties: It is fairly opaque at visible wavelengths, absorbing most incoming sunlight, while being generally transparent at the mid-infrared.

> Because most of the energy in the solar spectrum is in the visible and near-IR range, Fan said, germanium could capture solar energy for use in thermal or photovoltaic applications, while allowing mid-IR energy to escape for radiative cooling.

> The Stanford team tested the concept with an experimental device that placed a germanium wafer in front of a mid-infrared emitter.

> As reported in a recent paper in the journal Joule, the wafer absorbed enough sunlight to warm up by 24 degrees Celsius, while the emitter sent enough radiation through the infrared “window” to cool itself by 29 degrees Celsius below ambient temperature.
And what proportion of the time are you having a heart attack when you see a doctor?
Same, best setup for me was quads of corner desks with high exterior walls, making a sort of open room of four that were faced away from each other but within earshot. The cubes had sliding frosted glass windows between quads that you could open to talk to the adjacent team.

Also high natural light with moderate ceiling lights and good task lighting on ample desk surface.

This was at a premium EDI firm in the 90’s. It was awesome.
Much of the contemporary world is driven by how opex and capex accounting.

Open-plan office make perfect sense if you consider how visible real estate costs are, and how subtle and variable productivity it is.

If "Management" micromanaged productivity as some people expect here, they'd fire everyone showing signs of ADHD.

Smooth animation can be critically important when dragging, swiping or performing "fine" scrolling motions, either with a mouse/touchpad or on a touchscreen. Because then lags and freezes are what "gets in the way" and breaks the flow. Otherwise, yes, most animations just add latency for no good reason.
But you don't rent by cubicle, you rent by floor or building. So adding a new employee when you have hit your max means you have to figure something out or sink a whole lot of money into a new building for one person.

> We've had multiple on-boarding and troubleshooting calls with the actual product managers of GCP services

As have we. But that should ring a few alarm bells in regards to scalability and whether that can continue.

Google should just cut IBM's support org (the older, experienced folks) off the carcass, retrain them, and use them as a cadre for building their own org.
Totally agree. Open concept at my place is beyond ridiculous. I'm not a zoo animal.

Nixery can be pointed at your own package set, in fact I do this for deployments of my personal services[0].

This doesn't interfere with any of the local Nix functionality. I find it makes for a pleasing CI loop, where CI builds populate my Nix cache[1] and deployment manifests just need to be updated with the most recent git commit hash[2].

In Illinois, bicyclists are allowed to proceed through a red light if the the fails to turn green after 120 seconds and after they've yielded to traffic [1].

I can understand the spirit of the law but in practice cyclists interpret this as "it's ok to red lights if I don't see any oncoming traffic". This turns out to be extremely dangerous because a situation can change in seconds especially when high velocity metal objects are concerned. Blindspots are always a problem.

This issue has salience with me because a cyclist who ran a red light at the intersection near my house got hit by a car that was following the rules of the road. There was a dramatic video on Youtube of the cyclist getting hit and flying off his bike. I don't know if he survived.

As both a cyclist and a driver, I can't emphasize enough: cyclists need to follow the rules of the road. It is not ok to run red lights.

Do you speak Clojure?

If not, this isn't for you anyhow.
This is incomplete. A bronze family plan will typically have a deductible of $6k for an individual, and 13k for the family, but it also has an out of pocket max of slightly over that, so once you meet the deductible that is all you pay. Also almost all bronze plans cover the first 3 doctor visits with a normal copay, and any preventive care has no copay. Gold and above plans typically do not have a deductible, and the out of pocket max is lower.

Many states have surprise billing laws to limit what bills you can receive from out of network providers.
The biggest joke is that Americans think that the amounts they are charged for healthcare services is what those services really cost to administer. It's really not even close. A heart attack does not cost $20k+ to treat in other developed countries. A broken arm costs maybe $200 equivalent in the UK vs multiple thousands in the US. I'm not talking about how much the patient is charged, I'm talking about paying the doctors for their time and affording the equipment to perform the treatment.

There's always the anecdata that floats around the internet claiming that you can fly to Spain, live their for 6 months, get a hip replacement, and fly back to the US for the same amount as the outpatient surgery costs in the US. It's basically true, though the numbers may have drifted slightly since it first started making the rounds.

> it's the same as a tax to pay for healthcare for the country, except it goes to insurance companies, and you have to deal with in network and out of network

I think this is one of the strongest ways to frame government-provided healthcare. It's no different paying a tax vs paying the company directly, and in the former case you have the whole US government bargaining on your behalf for reasonable healthcare costs (in the case of single-payer a la M4A).

> capped at 20% by ACA

20% is a lot when we're talking about these outrageous numbers.
Indeed. While you're covering multiple topics, I wanted to touch on the education specifically.

I think a huge reason for our problematic education system is lack of competition for teaching jobs. If there's a job at a startup that's willing to pay someone for math at $100k (avg in mixed locations) - $300k (avg in silicon valley) how are we ever going to have excellent math teachers. The people competing for a 50k teaching job are not even qualified to have that 100-300k job.

Beyond that the US education system, and the EPA works this way too, is that as we find the numbers don't add up to what we want, we lower the standards until we're at a point we think we can achieve some goal.

If they simply made standards that were wwaaaay higher, they would be forced to realize everything is underfunded.
That's by design. Look up 'panopticon'
I mean, clearly it's not working for a large chunk of people, otherwise this article wouldn't keep appearing on the front page of HN regularly.

Wouldn’t you agree it’s much more practical and inviting if you could just turn around a talk?

I’d imagine that if I needed to get up, walk up there and knock on my coworker’s door, I’d rather just message him.

And a text conversation and face to face one are very different and could lead it to different places.

>they're members of their foreign racial/national group with the ambitions/motivations to leave.

And resources and community connections... even if they come here with little or no money, they had to have something to leave. It's expensive as hell to move to a new city without a job lined up, let alone a new country.
The reason you can't hang out in them is because there are never enough rooms... which is really the root of the problem.
I think I see the confusion, rogue waves, by definition, are just waves much larger (twice as large, again from the definition) than the surrounding ones, sufficiently so that they're impossible under the old wave models. So you can obviously get them in any conditions. But you're not likely to get one that can sink a large container ship in otherwise calm seas (although it's not in theory impossible), which is what I was talking about if you go back to my original comment. The height is still proportional to the other waves.
The problem is companies that treat support as a cost center.

A healthy company mines the hell out of it for feature discovery and product improvement.

These people are literally continually talking to your customers about what their actual pain points are!
The best office I've experienced (but sadly only visited for two week, the branch I worked at had typical open plan garbage) had the building split into sections where along both sides were small single-person offices (large enough that two people could sit at a desk and work, or 3 to 4 people could sit for a meeting) with closing sliding doors. In the space between the two rows of offices was a small amount of hot-desk space (maybe 6 to 8 desks), some armchairs and sofas and a conference table with projector. The layout was basically:

+--+--+--+--+--+
| | | | | |
+- +- +- +- +- +
|
|HHHH CCC ####|
|
+- +- +- +- +- +
| | | | | |
+--+--+--+--+--+

Where H was the hotdesk space, C the casual sofas/armchairs with coffee tables, and # the conference table with projector against the wall on one end. Not drawn to scale, of course.

Love this course. Pretty rigorous, but the professor explains very well.
Same here. Team rooms are the best. You can actually collaborate there and still get some sense of privacy. It’s a also a real team builder.

Foucault wouldn't be surprised at all at the prevalence of open-plan offices.
Same! I worked in a setting like that and it was by far the most productive environment I've been in as far as pure work volume and concentration. Basically people were in tiny open offices sorted by teams (i.e. frontend, backend, copywriters). Our group kept the room pretty dark and no one talked, we just messaged each other. I realize that description can sound a little creepy, but it was blissful.

Open office-wise the best was getting a desk that was in a corner around a pony wall. So I had a wall (conference room) at my back, a pony wall at my left and a desk facing towards me, which is almost like a wall in front. Also the people I was sitting near could control the lights on our side of the wall. We kept only half on and it was super helpful. I think bright fluorescent lighting is a little distracting. Maybe not distracting, but not awesome.
If you're using JS to prehash before submission, an attacker who has exfiltrated hashes never needs to crack them. It also makes it impossible to degrade gracefully for a non-JS client. You're effectively taking a password hash and turning it into an unhashed password itself.
You just made me realize that we might all "skip the words" when we have internalized a concept.

Case in point for me: math. For instance these days I'm working on geometric modelling, and when I see a wedge (exterior product of two 1D vectors = a 2D surface) I don't even read or say it, I just "see" the concept (not even a parallelogram, I don't visualize, it's just this abstraction for 2D which relates to number theory, physical spaces, etc). Then if I do something with this, I kind of navigate a map or graph (where e.g. gradients or dot products are sort of nodes). I'm gonna be 10x slower if I have to put words in it when talking to someone for instance.

Does that begin to describe how non-verbal thinkers think about pretty much everything?
That's because new products get promotions.
I'm an extreme extrovert, and I despise open plan offices, because my productivity doesn't involve the social interaction I enjoy so much. When I'm in the Zone, I have no such desires.

On the other hand, I favor pair programming. But even then, it should be done in two-person offices with a door, not in cacophanous cafeterias.
If I don't know length, I need to start with length 1 and so on. If I know that password have 96 bits length, I'll skip lengths from 1 to 95. It's 2^1 + 2^2 + ... + 2^95 = 2^96 - 2 passwords. I still need to try 2^96 passwords at most. So I saved 1 bit.

I have a dual core box running a web test environment, gitlab-ce and Plex. I schedule a weekly reboot and all is grand. The box does 60w under load to give an idea of max cost to run.

I use duckdns to deal with my broadband providers DHCP.

I use the same type of containers in test as live and just git push between them. Live is a cloud server with a bare git repo which checks out files to a public folder on receive.

Although my box is 10yrs old it has an hp remote control feature. Saves me getting out the loft ladder :-)

If we want to talk about disinformation campaigns -- let's start right here at home: CNN, MSNBC, ABC, our own politicians, lobbyists.

Regardless of our political affiliation -- to not look at the evidence and pledge a blind loyalty to a party and its narrative, is precisely part of the problem.

Don't worry so much about Russia. Worry more about your own bias and refusal to think for yourself.
Being a first generation immigrant myself (parents immigrated to America in 1975) I can give a few cultural reasons:

1. Stable two parent home - my parents lived together and shielded us from any arguments/disagreements they had and presented a stable unified upbringing

2. My father had a degree in Microbiology, but when he first migrated had to take a less paying job due to language/racism. My mother had a high school education. My father eventually ended up in a top research company and my mother got a masters in computer science from the local state university. This example ingrained the merits of grit and hard work

3. Education - specifically math and science - were emphasized in my family over sports, social and other activities. This was very different then my friends.

4. Academic expectations were extremely high - in my family strait As was baseline.

5. Family and community support - we had strong support from other immigrant indian community growing up. And the community as a whole valued the same things as my family.

These traits can be replicated in non immigrant American society - but often it is not. The main difference I see is a lack of a strong family unit and acceptance of low academic standards.

This could be just my experience - would be interested in hearing others
Even when you're insured this happens. I had a woman come into my ER room and demand payment of my full deductible. They ended up refunding me 2/3 of it about a year later.
I own two scooters (cheap Xiamoi, pricey Boosted Rev). Between the two of us, we have two mid-upper range e-bikes. I've ridden both extensively to work and elsewhere. My conclusion is that e-bikes are the future.

Scooters are easy to ride, but hard to ride competently. If you know how to ride a bike, you're unlikely to fall off unless you hit something. Not so on a scooter. I hit a manhole cover on the way to work one morning, and ended up standing next to my scooter with a broken helmet in my hand, while not being 100% sure how to get to work (I'm fine now). I fall of bicycles only when I a patch of black ice, or something solid.

I can load my bicycle up with front and rear panniers, a trunk, and carry enough to do some shopping. Scooter: whatever fits in the backpack.

Scooter: hands on the handlebars at all times. If you get good, you can carefully choose the smooth spots in the road to take a quick second and scratch your nose. Bicycle: go ahead, take another sip of that coffee from your handlebar coffee cup holder while you cruise down the trail. Hell, take both hands off the bars to zip the jacket up.

I love my Boosted Rev, it's well made and a hoot to ride. But it's a recreational vehicle. It's the impractical Lotus Elise that has room for two people and a messenger bag, but what fun to drive. For real transportation work, the bike comes out.
