for many companies that own their own properties I doubt they will maintain work from home policies long term unless Covid19 outlooks are dire but to be honest, if they get that dire and stay there then where you work is the least of the concerns.

the issue with work from home is that jobs which are suited for it or can be adapted this require that workers have discipline to do so. for companies willing to have a portion of their employees offsite then HR programs would need to be put into place to help train people how to manage their work life at home and then to train managers in how to properly employ a work from home team.

the issue not raised here is the tax component. a collapse of the real estate market will take the tax base down a few notches. this will lead to an increase in finding a replacement and this could include proxy taxes on an employees work from home setup and costs associated with it; a few fees and tariffs here and there. Then comes the non state actors, HOAs and property management companies, whose rules will need to moderated if not outright regulated to prevent putting undue pressure on work from home employees. most can fly under the RADAR because of no increase in external activity; think shipping and receiving; to give it away but cancel culture has its adherents everywhere with people who have nothing better to do than point.

I've come to the view that local zoning should be abolished. We should have standardized zoning at at least the state level patterned after Japan. Local zoning is nothing more than a property owners' cartel that restricts supply to extract rent.

Critics will see this as un-democratic when in reality it's much more democratic. Most local zoning is controlled by tiny opaque cabals of land owners who use all kinds of tactics to prevent participation by anyone beyond other sympathetic land owners with a vested interest in raising prices.

These cartels have sat around while an entire generation has been ruined by their practices. It's time to take their little fiefdoms away.
Correct, I rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures. I hate extra significant figures which suggest that the data is more precise than it really is
I suspect that if this really does become the new normal, in 5-10 years, part of that new normal will be providing your own equipment (computers, monitors, etc.). I predict there will be a non-trivial "startup cost" associated with taking most jobs.
Just for the records, there is actually quite a strong connection between DNS and good old telephony. I refer to directory services and LDAP in particular. I am not familiar with the popular Active directory from Microsoft, but I know that many companies maintain LDAP internally for holding office, user and telephone data about their employees and there is that Domain controller thing to maintain DNS within LDAP or so (anybody knowing details? :) ).

But our CEO hates remote work. Upper management is already talking about getting some people back in the office in a few weeks. It's a bit depressing.
> It shows a lack of vocabulary more than any sort of moral failing.

Here, now, I call nonsense on that one. I (probably?) swear more than most of my friends in private, casual communication circles. I also have a much greater vocabulary than any of them (this is not hubris --- I'm frequently told to explain words I use; I chalk this up to being better-read throughout my life). It just doesn't follow that because a person favors certain words, that they must not understand or feel comfortable with others.
In Next.js there are only four commands:

- `next dev` starts the dev server with unoptimized code and webpack hot-reload

- `next build` compiles all your code to be ready for production (optimizations enabled and not hot-reloading, pages that aren't dynamic server-side get turned into regular HTML, etc)

- `next start` serves that production-ready bundle, with a bare-bones (but production-ready) server

- `next export` forces every page to compile down to HTML and gives you a folder of static markup and js you can upload to any static host

So yeah, `next start` is indeed production-ready, and similar to what major websites already do. (Also there's no soft, hard, or default dependency between webpack and react, but the starter template uses it to make life easier for devs)
"Every one of those systems can fail and leave you dead. Since evolution only «cares» about you to the point where you bear children and raise them, what are the chances that it engineered ALL those systems to last FOREVER?"

Evolution works in small steps, over long periods of time (given the humans slow grow up process). Mutations in any of those systems may increase or lower the chances of such failure. Evolution takes care of both, albeit by a small margin. Currently, cause of death number one worldwide is the ischemic heart disease¹ (i.e. the famous "coronary"). Now guess what, there are genetic mutations that work on this out there already, one of them being the Gilbert's syndrome². Yes, forever is unattainable, but (humanity scale speaking) I'm glad having lived past twenty four and willing to take any blessing coming after.

"I'd even conjecture there's a sexual selection effect going on in the «live hard die young» people, like rock stars, athletes, etc."

I hope you're aware of survivor's bias here. Assume a lot more of those to be weeded out. Also, the stars made it not only because they were risk inclined but also because they they have that value they were recognized for.

I find the gradual improvement that one may gain having a bit of time to be a very useful edge over the young and inexperienced, in the game of life. Especially for a male (that is not that restricted by an inherent fertility age limit), this edge fits perfectly in the reproductive selection window you mention.

Will they, though?

Or, will they discover what IBM discovered decades ago, that work-from-home saves $$millions on otherwise unnecessary office space. They've long had both work-from-home, and a temp office setup where you sign up where you'll need an office that day, go to the location, get assigned a desk, and everything routes to that location/desk. I've had a fam member working for them from home for nearly 20yrs.

Sure, managers may like the control of walking down the hall and standing over any employee when they feel like it.

But I expect that they'll like even better not having to spend insane commercial real estate costs, hear every worker complain about traffic, only to see lower net productivity...

(Edit: I'm assuming this must be a different IBM division from the one in which my family member works, which has see no change in her work-from-home status, even tho the article says 'IBM cancelled it'.)

I agree with you on being open to thinking that COVID-19 arrived earlier than was initially thought. When I first shared my "weird cold" story on HN, the consensus was that I was a crazy person and there was no way that could be COVID-19. There would be more deaths if it had been here. But now there are some deaths, and a large number of people with "weird cold" stories, and it really makes me think that a lot of people have already had this. Maybe the doctors at the time didn't recognize it as COVID-19 (I didn't when I had my weird cold). Maybe the numbers that we see now are just wrong; i.e. the recorded cases we have are just the tip of the iceberg (and if you tested everyone every week, we would have hundreds of millions of cases).

Or maybe that weird cold was just a weird cold and nothing more. It seems unlikely to me, but I'm open to it. I hate to make public policy suggestions on anecdotes... but someone should really look into that weird cold. Everyone in New York had it. It sure is weird.
regarding mutations, perhaps they are just confined to certain physical systems. The reason I bring this up is my mother-in-law has brownish hair with not a single grey hair, she does not dye her hair and is about to turn 70. Her mother also has barely any grey hair and is in her 90's, this to me is extremely strange as people in my family get alot of grey in their 40's and most get grey at least by 50ish.

There are a few people who've written up their approaches for writing what amounts to pseudocode-to-FRACTRAN compilers.

The Collatz-generating program given in TheFrumiousArticle was generated by writing a Magnificent Minsky Machine first, and then using the example Minsky->FRACTRAN compiler.

Thank you for reminding me about the code golf examples, I saw them early in my writing research, and meant to include a note about them.

I'll do that now!

The company I work for (insurance carrier) has seen the light with working from home and the big heads are starting to discuss what to do when the long term leases are up. I think even outside of tech a lot of places that can have people working from home will strongly encourage or require it. Not every job can, obviously but with the incentive to save money on expensive leases and what comes with them it's really a no-brainer.

In the future employment contracts might stipulate such compensation in order to remain competitive.

Something to consider, though: Most employees today probably aren't compensated for the time and money they waste during their daily commute. What about car maintenance? Unless they're driving a company car to work most employees will have to pay for that themselves. Shouldn't the employer cover or reimburse these costs?

> And then .. a neural net beats us at all board games, another can solve differential equations, another can translate, another can see, and so on. Have we really not learned anything by these inventions?

I would still argue no, we haven't learned anything about intelligence from these. They are impressive achievements, but strictly in the sense of "We found a way to use computers in a way we were not using them before".

1.) Neural nets + MCTS beat us at all board games--board games that humans invented and can achieve mastery at. If a human Go player was born who could beat that version of AlphaZero, we would not say that person has solved intelligence.

2.) Differential equations: also invented/discovered by humans, can also be solved by humans

3.) Translate and see: See above, with the additional caveat that humans actually are better at translating and seeing than deep learning systems are.

In addition, these were all achieved individually by systems with different architectures and massive amounts of training data that would amount to several human lifetimes. An 18 year-old human can play board games, drive a car, do differential equations, and learn multiple languages, with a single brain using a generalized structure and a fraction of the "training data" afforded to DL. This indicates to me that ML as a whole is still very far off the mark of General Intelligence.

> Previously you might wonder how emotion, thought, sensation, imagination and will relate to each other. Now we can understand how they might be implemented and wired together, and what principles support their function.

Previously? This is still an unanswered question. Show me where deep learning research has even come close to producing a system that can learn and adapt like a human mind does.
I don't think we took it "personally" in a way that calls for an apology. I don't think anybody felt accused or anything - just that we are responding literally, noting that some of us are in those circumstances, and aren't reacting the way you said. That's all I meant when I said you invited us to take it personally. I did not at all mean that you gave us grounds for feeling accused or defensive. (But thanks for the non-defensiveness of your reply - this conversation could easily have blown up with you feeling accused by my post, and I would not have known why, because I didn't mean it that way at all - which may mean that I wrote it badly.)
I can imagine this pandemic is going to push WFH into the vanguard... but to imply that companies no longer need offices seems too hyperbolic a conclusion.

The reality is that if a company says they don’t need an office because you can work from home, they need to compensate you for the use of your office space. A place of work is physical capital, and you can’t simply decide that your workers provide that capital as part of their employment.

How productive one can be working from home also depends on the type of job and level of experience.

As a new grad (hoping that my job offer survives covid), I'm terrified of a transition where WFH is the default. I recognize that I still have a lot to learn, and that I can't do it all on my own. Casual interactions with coworkers and the ability to passively absorb new information in the workplace are essential for entry-level employees like me. Plus, personally, I find the social aspect of work to be crucial to my well-being.
It would have gone over better with me (your average analog hipster) if you'd just mentioned the positive aspects of the thing you like.

The simple truth is that the core recipes are fact-based and non-copyrightable, and the 1000-word blogspam recipe header is both copyrightable and garners better search result rankings.

So the business model is to take facts from the public domain, wrap it in bullshit prose, and then SEO the bullshit to have higher ranking than the naked source facts, for more unique visitors and ad revenue.

Making comments about "providing recipes for free" are exactly as useful as comments about "providing phone numbers for free" or "providing mailing addresses for free" or "providing the original text of 'Little Women' for free" or "providing the steps of the long division algorithm for free".

Obfuscating the public domain is not a valuable service. Automatically removing the obfuscation is valuable. A "Project Gutenberg" style repository of recipes would be recurringly donation-worthy.
