Speaking from experience, they don't. I know this because I tried to introduce a walking culture into my team as I built it. Problem was whilst I could WFH my manager didn't believe in it, so everyone was hired into an office in the middle of the city. Walking in a busy city center is not quite as effective as doing it in the sort of place people tend to live. Also, he claims he thinks best whilst writing not walking so there's a mismatch of styles. But I guess mostly the issue is people aren't really expected to think too hard, just churn through tickets.
I also got a phone that does way more.
Then I got Apple Watch. I like how it greatly reduces the need to reach for the phone. Also, I am one of those guys who have their phone always on silent mode, so those subtle taptic notifications on a wrist don't hurt either.

His future was taken from him as well. You are now two futures shorter.

It's horrible when someone dies, but it's not obvious that the person responsible should endure any punishment. Where does your reasoning end? How far should it stretch? For how long after his punishment should he get judged? How are you to judge that four years of torment is minor, have you done it yourself?

Boiling his 19 years in prison down to this comment is appaling. Where's your humanity?
From my personal experience, junior or entry level work, which ever term you prefer, is arguably a lot harder remote than with direct interactions. Greener employees benefit immensely from having immediate direct feedback and from having someone around to casually discuss problems with. Both of those are arguably easier to achieve in a face-to-face situation. I'm a huge proponent for remote work and I do coach some people remotely as well, but I do think the dynamic for that type of interaction works better when you're in the same room with someone.

Not sure if it's the actual reason why the filter is missing on such sites, but it would be my personal guess if we had to take bets.

Global free-as-in-beer trade for all costs a ton of money, and is good for global well-being.

One of the reasons to hire remotely is access to a bigger talent pool. You can also save up big on not running offices in all major cities.

Since yesterday I have started to remember more about the movie (it was a long time since) and I am starting to lean towards your interpretation. There are many clues, as you say. On my watchings I always took it to be one of those movies where they don't feel the need to show "Book 2" because "Book 1" was the interesting part. This movie is great. I always thought it was good, but now I think it's Great Art. This movie scares me shitless now.

Software companies like Gitlab don't address a local market. They target a global market, which is the same no matter where you're based and no matter where your employees live.

If you can afford to pay San Francisco developers a given salary, you can afford to pay Des Moines employees as much.

Let the employees benefit from their cheaper location rather than taking that away from them. Otherwise where is the incentive to declutter cities?
Wouldn't that be a good thing though? Isn't that an important part of Capitalism? Competition?

I don’t follow your reasoning, but just for information the state pension plans of both the Netherlands and France work on a “pay as you go” basis.

Throughout your career, you build up the right to a certain pension in each of the different pension plans you’ve been paying into. When you retire, those who are still working and paying into that plan pay for your pension (as you did when you were working).

I can’t vouch that it works this way for all 42 different plans, as I haven’t checked, but I’ve worked both as an employee and as a freelance consultant and it works that way for the 4 different pension plans that I’ve paid into. And, as I said, in the future there will be only one state plan for everyone (plus various private plans as well, of course).

So I see no problem with everyone in France being self-employed and France continuing to pay out pensions.

They pay people less not because of "relative purchasing power" or because they want them to have the "same relative quality of life" or some such sentimental nonsense but because they can get away with it.

The cost of life is totally irrelevant, the alternative options someone has in he market-place based on their location are. Did you look at those numbers at all?
It's another time someone mentions the Plato's Cave. The reason this allegory often makes deep impression is that Plato was initiated, not just a philosopher, and thus actually knew what he was talking about and that allegory is a carefully worded model of reality, as accurate as it could be told at that time.

I totally understand why a company won't hire from Iran, North Korea, Syria, Sudan, Cuba, Crimea – exposure to US sanctions threatens to cause severe negative repercussions.

But, why single out France, Italy, Spain, Romania, Sweden and Austria out of EU member states? What problems do they have which other EU member states lack?

Similarly, if Argentina and Brazil are a problem, what about Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, etc?

Likewise, why would UAE be a problem, but not Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, Jordan, etc?

Due diligence is great, but it is an objection against the default stance of keeping the fence if you can't explain why it is there. The fence becomes onions in the varnish or cargo cult. At least in software development it is poison to have too many "we cant change that area of the code, nobody understand what it does". Sometimes you just have to tear down the fence and observe the consequences.
I don't know for sure but my assumption is that H1B holders (and potentially green card holders, which are "permanent residents") are not excluded from this ban. As many others have mentioned here it's not easy to prevent a citizen from returning; permanent residents and visa holders can be refused entry much more easily.

I didn't write this rule though so I don't know if this interpretation is correct.

It'd be nice if everything were labeled honestly; but people get riled up around the wrong thing. High prices are necessary to get more production of these things quickly; and honestly the public buying counterfeit masks to leave real supplies for the hospitals is probably a win for us all.

The only issue here is deceptive advertising.

If we are doing wishlists: I would love to see better support for fast creation of Arrow/Dataframes/numpy objects from query results (possibly through the COPY support, maybe through some kind of plugin or compile time optional support). See for example Turbodbc (https://turbodbc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/advanced_usa...).

At the moment we are forced to have query data converted from the binary stream into (boxed) python objects, then unbox them back into arrays - this can add a lot of overhead. I did some very rough experiments in Cython and got 3x speedup for bulk loads of queries into arrays.
... maybe for when he comes back from Titan. Given Titan is a more spartan outpost, and everyone there is presumably accounted for anyway, given you can't exactly stroll over to Titan without going on a rocketship first - maybe for when Vincent comes back from his Titan mission, for retirement or whatever.
For batch insert it makes more sense to parse an insert statement for one row and then send bind-execute messages for each row. That would much more efficient than a huge insert statement with interpolated values.

Copy doesn't on conflict handling yet, although there doesn't seem to be a major reason why it couldn't. A workaround is to copy into a temporary table and do a insert-select from there.

Their patents are by far not a blocker to the field.

Apple has actually have a much bigger patent contention with Beijing University with them holding the lockdown portfolio on the microled, and they recently "tainted" themselves through business relationship with one of Beijing University subsidiaries.

It may look to the court, or at least a Chinese one, that they solicited samples from them, and very expensive at that, without stated purpose just to sneak away the tech.

It depends. The seasonal flu mutates enough between seasons that last year's immunity doesn't help you much. If we're lucky, this one doesn't do that, or it mutates in a way that symptoms aren't as severe (since causing the host to die or to be isolated in ICU is also bad for the virus, so there's evolutionary pressure towards less severe symptoms).
Not a problem. Every so often this otherwise unremarkable grammatical point becomes somewhat contentious, but it's easy to see how it can be confusing if English isn't your first language. There's more here: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/002748.h...
1% only assumes 66-75% unreported cases. With estimates of asymptomatic/low-severity infections above 80%, the ratio of infections that never get reported as cases is likely to be higher than that.

The ol' finger-pointing, can hacky sack-routine rather than helping the people who can't adequately grasp reality or hold jobs are left to live in tents in the weeds of highway embankments or under bridges. TBH, this seems like something some social-work lawyers should take on to push federally through the courts or with legislation. Worrying about initial sticker-price shouldn't be the focus because of the numerous ancillary costs that are far more expensive than doing the right thing (which is why Cook County jail does what it does).

It's reversed. Living in SF is more expensive _because_ the salaries are higher but space is scarce. Salaries are higher because of concentration of high-tech companies which make a lot of money and are not neccessarily pressed to hire cheap. If they were, they'd move these jobs to India anyways.

People come attracted by good jobs, but it turns out it is hard to find a place to live with a good commute. The demand drives prices high.
Creativity Without Borders A New Vision For Mobile Working
As someone who lives in South Africa, it's quite frustrating to travel when you realise your money isn't worth shit in most developed countries. It financially restricts where you can go for how long and how often. Many imported things, like cars or computers, are actually more expensive here than in the States. Food, housing and other costs of living might be cheaper. It makes somewhere like Cape Town a great place for people with first world savings/income to holiday/retire. In a global economy someone earning local rates don't have the same kind of options.
There's more to it than that; repositories are a subpart of hexagonal architecture, and are used in a specific way. That being said, there's not a lot more to it than that. It's a collection of recognisable parts.
> To me, this implies a further disadvantage: extremely high latency when compared with in-person collaboration.

This is not an implication by all means.

Low-skilled not very well incentivized junior team (let's call it so in absence of better terms) needs more/most "in-person collaboration". Team of experts to whom the goals and the overall vision have been conveyed, who knows how to put it to practice, will give the shortest latency in async flows.

Don't take it as a personal attack, but people valuing high live discussions, are frequently those on the receiving end of it.
Laptops are apparently much more ergonomical than desktops, if you use them right. I recently got treated for posture-related problems and on that occasion it was suggested to use a laptop(or similar setup) with both elbows resting on the table. So I got a cheap adjustable vesa mount for my monitor to lower and tilt it accordingly, and have had no issues since then.

WHO has "assessed contribution", which is its lifeline upon which it relies. I'm not saying it doesn't accept donation. just that WHO doesn't need donations to survive. It's clearly shown in the pdf which you linked here that China doesn't even make it to the top 10 donor list. Donation from the United States comprised of 76% of WHO total voluntary contribution. Why would WHO risk angering its major donors and pleasing to one specific small donor? Even if finance were taken into consideration, it still doesn't make any sense.

I always used to hated remote work. Nothing like in person, face to face conversations to get things done. Due to coronovirus, for the past few days have been working remotely. Its surprising that things are going smoothly. I feel, its mostly due to that fact that everyones remote right now. But I'm guessing, there has to be an inflection point in the team, where this is achievable. Not sure, what it is though.

Oh lol at that ukrainian untermensch riding hype.
The fact that people outside of China don't know what WeChat is make sense. It isn't an "online forum". It is more like a private Whatsapp group. He also told them the wrong information. He shouldn't have been charged but while he used the "internet" it wasn't public. It was passed around and others did post it publically online.

I don't know why Wikipedia is missing a lot of the public information that happened before the 31st. The local government was notified on the 28th. The National government was notified on the 30th. Other hospitals in the region were notified around this time as well.

His "leak" came while a lot of people were being notified about this problem. It "looks" like they would have notified the public and WHO a few days later once they had more information.

We still don't know if the original source is the seafood market. The fact that not all the cases came from there doesn't mean much. The SARS expert (Guan Yi) from Hong Kong said that there was no proof of human to human transmission on the 3rd.

You've counted time before anyone knew it existed in your 2-month delay. The first death was on the 10th. Less than 50 people have the virus. The probably should have done something then or on the 15th (second death).

There was a delay but more like 2 weeks compared to 2 months. If you are saying that they should have done something before they knew it existed then ... what should they have done?

As it is people are constantly bashing them for doing something.

What do you think they should have done and when?

The incentive to declutter cities is not Gitlab's.
No, I'm saying that 'big corporations' universally do not have easy, low-hanging fruit sitting in front of them that would instantly improve productivity.

If 'remote work' were some really expensive investment, then we could see that it would take some to make it's way into big corps.

But it's relatively easy, and trivial to experiment with, and most companies don't do it in most cases.

When you sell physical stuff worldwide, nobody will be surprised if you won’t ship to some select countries because of local safety regulations, bad postal services or other local difficulties. When you hire people, these local difficulties increase tenfold, and I can totally understand why GitLab does not hire everywhere.

You may also notice that in most “first world” countries they hire through a proxy (listed in the same file), and it seems like in “no hire” countries they just couldn’t find a proxy yet.

That's not a great example.

There are incredible resources available in LA for medical care and housing support. The people on skid row are electing to not use them, and they cannot be compelled to use them. It's a mental health/drug issue.

You can see a similar dynamic in NYC, where the city cannot turn you away from a shelter, and they've been spending hundreds of millions to put up homeless people in hotels for years. Yet still, there are thousands on the street. Not for a lack of option, but because they've specifically refused these services and outreach, and you cannot force them.
Americans Turn Away from Public Transit as Direct Result of Covid-19
A Guide for Building Android ROM with MicroG
I am making a more fundamental point, which is that the current developer salaries (in general, worldwide) would not be as high if the cost of living were not high in the specific places where software companies congregate. These high salaries would otherwise not exist, because they are not based on an objective skills or supply-based metric. It is not as if SF developers are 3x more skilled than Des Moines ones. Clearly the assumption that salaries should factor in the cost of living is a factor.

In a lot of ways, this extremely high baseline benefits everyone else in the industry, even if they don't directly work in SF/NYC/etc. The salaries of Des Moines developers are probably higher than they would otherwise be, as compared to other professions.

And while it's nice to think that companies should pay people the maximum amount of money that they can afford, this is unfortunately not a rational economic move and it will collapse the moment any financial difficulties come into play.
