Working from home with kids around as we are now is distracting, but under normal circumstances the kids are at school, daycare, or otherwise supervised.

Having a family brings with it some other major concerns. You will want a larger home, a good school district, a safe neighborhood, and a short commute. A childless person who lives in an apartment in the city and doesn't think twice about getting home at 7 is likely to value the time in the office much differently than a parent trying to make brutally expensive house, a miserable commute, and family time work.

As others have touched on, single people might really enjoy the atmosphere of their office space as an escape from small apartments.

I thought for many terrorist groups, exciting such “extreme efforts” was exactly the goal. Al-qaeda hopes the US would abandon its principles and be provoked into making bad decisions, leading to its downfall. They had a multigenerational view of the effort. Seems by the state of things, they are winning?
> Masks mostly protect others, not the wearer.

I disagree. They do both.

> that doesn't give me full protection from the a-hole who almost ran me over at the UPS store the other day who wasn't wearing a mask and was keeping no distance whatsoever

Nothing will give you "full protection" in the sense of guaranteeing that nothing bad will happen to you. But you were a lot better off wearing a mask in the situation you describe than if you hadn't been.

Also, you were wearing a mask, and the other person wasn't. That puts more of the responsibility on him if something bad happens.

Indeed, in what you describe, the issue isn't just that the person wasn't wearing a mask. It is that he took no precautions whatsoever to keep distance, and showed no sign of even being aware that he ought to be taking such precautions. That puts even more of the responsibility on him, since there are other prudent precautions besides wearing a mask that a person is expected to take in a situation like this, and keeping distance is one of them.

I run a small tech company in the Bay Area, and while rents are not cheap, they end up being a very small percentage of costs - particularly compared to salaries.

I think you'll find some companies that your suggestion as workable but I don't see a lot of companies embracing it wholesale from a financial perspective.

Also most leases are fairly locked it's not an easy way to address short-term cash flow issues, especially compared to reducing headcount.
So... $1000 for a fancy electric standing desk. $1000 for a fancy chair. $1000 for better monitors + arms. $200 for a keyboard. $100 for a mouse. We're looking at less than $3500 for a mid-level setup.

The cost of a bit of equipment is a joke compared to the cost of another bedroom. Adding another room to a house is tens of thousands of dollars. Buying a home with another room is also the same cost or more depending on where you live (bay area - another bedroom can easily be $200k+!). Renting - same problem.

I wouldn't get hung up on equipment costs when the cost of space is far greater. (Even if you replace all furniture every 3 years)
I wonder if premium virtual conferencing solutions will pop up. People might pay more to be guaranteed calls would go over dedicated networks and high performance servers; the service provider can send the participants custom hardware (perhaps even appliances) to improve quality at the ends. I'm unsure how much of the quality degradation is at the last mile, which this sort of service won't be able to help much.
yeah, this is really tough. regardless of the merit of the claim, just having to defend against a suit sucks not only resources but just everything. the best I could do was get as much liability insurance I could to protect the LLC I created for the purpose of importing and selling the masks.

figured the reward of getting these KN95's in the hands of folks who need them other than hospitals who have their own supply chains, outweighed the risk of a suit.

we also explicitly state that the masks are for non-medical use and reference the CDC/FDA for everything.

Inside Trump’s Coronavirus Meltdown
The Hong Kong flu of 68 killed 100k Americans. Does that count as a truly national pandemic?
I’m not sure it’s that big of a leap. Gore won the vote in Florida, but the courts installed Bush. The ballots were illegally transported from Ohio to Indiana and back, and then favored Bush in 2004 in a way that was a statistical anomaly. Both those elections were the first I can remember where the exit polls didn’t match the outcome of the election (and the bias was only in crucial districts in swing states).

2016 was a total catastrophe of an election. The courts intervened in one primary earlier this year, in bid to get a conservative judge elected. That backfired, fortunately.

The Senate is intentionally blocking funding for election security, and now, with COVID, they’re refusing to provide funding to allow mail in ballots in many states.

Some of the leaders responsible for underfunding the election have publicly said they are withholding the funding because the republicans will lose if there is high turnout this fall.

> It is more fruitful to highlight the disadvantages that a group of people experience so that we may fix them and bring everyone up.

I see it as the same. It's one thing to say, "I don't have to worry about X because I am white" and basically the same to say, "They do have to worry about X because they are non-white".

> If these advantages were as powerful and prevalent as you suggest, there wouldn't be more millions of white people in poverty.

I don't think anyone who believes in white privilege believes that it is a monolithic escalator to success. It makes some things easier. But there also exists privilege due to class, health, access to education, gender, climate, family support, etc.

There are many, many types of privilege, and being white is just one of them that has an interaction with the others. (e.g. is it more advantageous to be white and able bodied or white and not able bodied? Is it more advantageous to be white and poor or black and poor? etc.)

> It's used to attribute individual excellence to generalized advantages of a certain group of people.

If you believe that individual excellence is the only factor, then how would you explain the demographic data about fortune 500 CEOs? One hypothesis is that privilege played a role -- that they had advantages due to race, class, gender, health, etc. that combined with their individual achievement resulted in their success. If privilege didn't play a role in their success, is it just a coincidence that the demographics overwhelmingly skew white male?
I didn't pursue a few job options during the 90s in the Bay Area in part because of housing costs and companies that weren't offering enough to cover the difference. As you say, relative prices are much worse now. But Bay Area prices were high even then.
And yet, even Volkswagen recently admitted that they only intend to follow Tesla on BEV, not lead them. Toyota has no skin in the game (they completely missed the switch to BEV), BMW and Daimler are unable to compete (even when they join force), etc.

The deep pockets of the non-electric car companies are evaporating fast nowadays, they margins keep dropping while Tesla's increase. Things are moving quickly, and far too quickly for those who couldn't change while they were massively profiting from internal combustion engines.
>Monorepos are not efficient. They are easier to manage when a team is small but as the team grows and you have more and more deliverables with separate versioning you are introducing control structures in your automation. Complexity explodes!

The complexity exists whether it's a monorepo or many separate repos. A monorepo lets you encode that complexity as versioned code in your build system. Separate repos encode it across people's heads, wikis and who knows what else. Hiding complexity doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that it will bite you 10 times as hard eventually.

I was specifically addressing the idea that $30T was given to companies. This simply isn't correct.

A better analogy would be if the government decided to "give" $90K to each homeowner in return for a $90K share in their home equity (valued according to some plausible marking). That's very different than simply giving them $90K with no strings attached. Certainly something is being given, but it's not worth anything like $90K.
What do you mean data collection?

In 1981, it was "obvious" to industry professionals that the x86 was only suitable for microcomputers and serious computing would always be done on servers and big iron.

While the last thing I want to do is to defend the video authors, the point is that nobody can ever know what ideas are going to have value and that's why stifling ideas is a losing game despite the vast majority of ideas being worthless.
This launch involves two subs, r/fortnitebr and r/cryptocurrency, and builds from an existing centralised version that r/fornitebr, among a few others, was already using. So this moves their points onto the Ethereum blockchain. It is indeed interesting to expose non-crypto users to the Ethereum version. For instance, of the two subs r/fortnitebr has so far 4x the number of transactions and new addresses despite being roughly comparable in subscriber size (it has more active visitors by roughly 2.5x). Personally i think that speaks commendably to the ux that Reddit has been able to achieve.

Equal to the value of the portfolio since this how much you need to have 1-1 hedge. The hedging instrument is just short selling the stock.

> Puru Saxena has a different portfolio.

I am inspired by the hedging mechanism that he uses and I started with the same technical triggers.

> The type of hedging you describe in your example is equivalent to just selling the shares, but a little worse.

I see what you are saying and I agree with it.

I am not sure if it is actually worse. Avoiding a tax event on your long position (which in the long run is the most profitable) is actually really important as you more capital to compound.

Living and purchasing a home in a very high COL city feels like a marathon. You know that you won't have paid off your home until many decades later, and you need to maximize your earnings, while minimizing your risks of becoming unemployed. In other words, it can motivate you to become really good at something, but at the same time inducing a lot of stress.

Living in cheap areas, feels very different. I recently move back home, and could pay off my home with two years worth of salary. That's it, no mortgage or anything - just the occasional renovations / upgrades. On the other hand, now that I'm not chained to a mortgage, I need to invest more of my money - in the case I want to move back to somewhere expensive.

Job market isn't anywhere near the same, and salaries are much more compressed. Mid 6 figure salaries are unheard-of, unless you own a company. But it doesn't feel like a rat-race, where you need to hustle all the time.

Wait, for anyone getting paid multiples of the minimum wage, how exactly do you think those comp numbers are set?
Are you sure about that? Everything I read says an employer can reduce your pay without reason at any time. Can you elaborate?
Employees that optimize for promotions and comp are far more likely to churn anyway, as 20% increases are available every 18 months by job hopping.

Loyalty of remote workers is probably a metric more orgs should be considering.
> But breathless media coverage trying to impugn people on a personal level makes me emotionally more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way, and I'm not sure it's a good thing.

I don't disagree with you on principle; I generally hate being told what to think (I'm stubborn, so it tends to push me the other way), but, as you point out, when the bias is clear, it's at least easier to work around. I'll note that Vice is probably not the place to go for dispassionate, neutral commentary.

Furthermore, my experience in the past decade or so is that the media tries to give "equal time" to both reasoned discourse that at least TRIES to air multiple sides of an issue (even if there is a bias in such reporting), and, frankly, utter and complete claptrap that doesn't even try to be factually correct.

And thanks to the midpoint fallacy, people end up believing left-leaning NPR, which describes conservative views on a matter (if only as a foil) has the same news value as utter and complete trash that some idiot/troll/paid propagandist has produced.

And, not surprisingly, the midpoint has shifted much closer to utter and complete trash over time.

Where we all used to roll our collective eyes at "conspiracy theories" like the faked moon landing, now its what "the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear" and you have to "think for yourself" by researching random youtube videos.. even when it's being widely covered in the same media.

Pseudo-anonymity is sufficient for those whose life is not in danger (like a journalist or dissenter). Personally identifying yourself to websites is an optional use of the Internet, as is participation in ad networks such as Google and Facebook. You are correct that ad networks have more information than your ISP does. The VPN will protect you from your ISP. Pseudo-anonymity is what protects you from ad networks.

An easy implementation is to provide no personally identifiable information while using the web, and siloing the personally identifiable information when necessary. 1 email for your bank accounts and unemployment registration that uses your real name. A variety of differing emails and logins for all other websites.

Linking Dynamic Libraries with Executables in Swift
Generally speaking, a library is a file contains compiled binary code, they are too useful as they provide the concept of reusability and allow for fast compilation time in modular applications. However, there are mainly two types of libraries, Static Libraries which are linked to the executable at compile time. Dynamic libraries at the other hand are linked to the executable at runtime. That makes them much more complicated and open the way for many possible hurdles which will be discussed in this article.
