This is an interesting take. I am a remote worker (technically in Chicago), but my employer is headquartered elsewhere. We have offices in Chicago. But I live in Indiana.

What's my 'demand market', as it were? Is it Cali where my parent company lives? Is it Chicago where the subsidiary division I support operates? Or is it Indy?

How does one negotiate salary taking in all that when negotiating a permanent full remote transition?

> you could eliminate the 1 hour of wasted time daily on small talk and office distractions, as well as the 1 hour daily on commuting, that leaves you two extra hours a day of your life to focus on whatever you chose.

This assumes that work expectations won’t expand to fill the space. I’ve kept pretty strict 9am to 6pm work from home with a 1 hour offline break to eat and clean and I still find the expectations creeping in, especially since some coworkers have migrated to other time zones to be with family.

Overall, given the history of labor in the US, I am sceptical that we will see an opening up of free time because of this shift.
Am I the only one who thinks the answer is obviously yes, and that it's kind of a waste of time to ponder it? It reminds me of discussions of free will -- completely boring because, even if we are all finite state machines (and we are, in some sense) then random inputs would mean we have free will and random inputs are assured by, for example, chaotic variations in the weather. In the same way, consciousness is pretty clearly characterized by a pattern that is constantly in motion, sensing both itself and the outside world. The only reason we think there's something magical about the phenomena is the residue of traditional religious beliefs.

One point against the traditional belief is that if you've ever read Aristotle you might be shocked to learn that the Greeks of antiquity believed that "soul" was quite physical, expressing itself in blood, semen, etc. The medieval characterization of mental illness as being an "imbalance of the humors" comes from this early idea about how we work. Needless to say, the definition of soul has retreated entirely into the metaphysical, where it's cannot be disproven, by definition.
Grubhub deductions were 64% of the gross. But "promotions" was 231$ which is 22% of gross. Promotions are discounts offered by the restaurants.

edit: reading further, grubhub auto-opts in the restaurants into this promotion. That's scummy, but also exists due to US auto opt-in. I believe in Europe, this wouldnt fly as they need you to explicitly opt-in, not explicitly opt-out after they implicitly opt-in. Scummy, but the american way

edit2: i think the verge, incorrectly reported in late march that restaurants "must" opt-in. from the perks program T+C. "Your participation in the Perks10 Program (the “Program” formerly known as “Supper for Support”) is optional. By electing to opt in each restaurant location identified to the Program, "

so 42% for both "advertising/marketing" (grubhub is providing the order to the restaurant). and delivery. If you link to grubhub from your restaurant's website. The advertising/marketing fee is waived

It seems like nobody wins in this situation. If my goal is to maximize savings, I'd move to the Bay Area to get the maximum salary from you and find the cheapest housing in the area. I'd be miserable because I'm living in a place I don't like in a shitty apartment. On the other hand, if you offered to pay the same amount while I live in the midwest, I'd be happier with my living situation and be pocketing more cash. This would make me more productive and make me stay at the company longer, with no additional cost to you.

It would be better to say the market sets wages to maximize efficiency. With wages being price signals people are supposed to respond to in choosing and changing jobs.

The "fairness" view assumes everyone is born into their jobs somehow and stuck there. If people could choose any job they wanted, fairness is irrelevant because everyone has an equal choice. This is obviously an ideal, but then the opposite extreme is unrealistic too.

It's really interesting to see the bottom-rung schools closing. In the U.S. the legal field has been saturated for years and I'm not aware of any law schools closing. I wonder if the easy availability of school loans is propping up the lower schools in the U.S.

It should not have taken a pandemic for this to be the new normal for some companies. But at least we're seeing companies that were previously hesitant to allow remote work making things permanent after COVID19. Relationships with co-workers are important, but the truth is, if more people were able to work from home, neighborhoods could be the places where individuals end up socializing. Neighborhoods could be completely transformed thanks to a reduction in the need to commute.

Obviously, this can't apply for all workers, but for a big chunk of the working population, it can.

Somewhat related, I ran (and am still running) into a very uncanny issue related to another product of Microsoft: Live / Outlook.

When Live and Outlook got merged (IIRC a couple of years ago), my @msn.com address got an @outlook.com alias.

Unfortunately, this "alias" shouldn't have been one and the email was actually owned by someone else.

By some sort of failed merging, I hence ended up getting access to someone else' emails: PayPal related emails, Dropbox access connected to this email account, private email exchanges, etc...

I tried to reach out to Microsoft but hit (expectedly) a wall.

> Printing money is, by definition inflation

You are technically correct, but if the printed money doesn't cause a noticeable change in the price of household commodity goods, it's not what the average person calls "inflation" and it likely won't budge the Consumer Price Index (the official metric for inflation in the USA).

The CPI doesn't include the following items {large health care services, university tuition, stock prices, fine art, collector cars}, all of which have actually inflated quickly for at least 10 years, but were not captured in the CPI.

Studies that raised the alarm on C02 levels showed a severe impact on cognitive function at 1,500ppm. Submariners routinely live and work in levels at 5,000ppm.

>baseline level of cognitive performance that's already impacted by chronic exposure to high levels of CO2

If that explanation is true submariners would barley be capable of operating their boats.

>Possibly "tolerance" to high levels of CO2,

And if that explanation is true new submariners would be barely functional.

The most likely explanation is that the study that showed severe impairment at relatively low levels is wrong.
> switched to another team internally because they are pro-remote and I plan on moving back to Australia

CO2 is "food" for plants and trees. Maybe a higher CO2 level can sustain reforestation of desert areas causing an increase in CO2 absorption?

I don't believe Microsoft is attached to making Windows the default though. Who knows why it is, maybe because people that use the Wizard are likely playing around and will rather want a Windows system? My guess is they'll switch the default if the percentages shift even more and they see that most that manually set something up will change the default. In the end, they want to sell computing and anything that gets in the way, well, gets in the way.

systems or concepts similar
to sociology or economy or
at least reason

This conceptualization is deeply, deeply flawed. As flawed as the postulate that a large segment of humanity lacks an internal monologue.

I mean, this is a pretty weak, and long-since-useless internet forum, so I won't grace this discussion with an in-depth analysis of why such reasoning could never bear fruit, and worse, ignore an abundance of cognition that very clearly exists, but I'll say this:

A high school education is not a pre-requisite to "consciousness" and it's laughable to frame an affirmative signal of sentience with the artifice of socialization.

The froo-froo snob's response is to simply wave away any AI that can't conceptualize sociology and economics as "not worth talking to" but I can assure you such an assumption is wrong.

Maybe if you install software like Voicemeter on Windows it's tolerable, but the experience of doing simple audio stuff on Windows still frustrates me in 2020. It's way too common that I see some application that has exclusive use of a device which means that everything else is going to be silent. JACK is great by itself, but it's one good piece of software in the giant mess that is Linux audio.

On the Mac, you want something like Logic to run, you just go into the Logic preferences, set the output device and the buffer size. You get the low latency you want and other apps are free to use the same device as well. It's the only platform where I consistently get both "all the apps just work without messing with it" and "the pro apps have low latency".

If you want desktop audio recording you can install iShowU or one of the others.

Yep. Gitlab's salary formula is publicly available. You can go take a look. I'm currently in the bay area, but I would love to permanently move to Southern Oregon (where I already own a house). Gitlab's salary is normalized to the bay area (i.e. the bay area gets a 1x multiplier). If I wanted to do the exact same job from Oregon, my hypothetical salary at Gitlab would arbitrarily get multiplied by 0.6x... and that's why I'm never going to apply to Gitlab.

Is the reason Bezos gets up every morning because he thinks to himself, "man, if only I have $200 billion instead of my $145 billion"?

Let's be real: Bezos is not "organizing" Amazon so much as he organizes a cabinet of Executives who do the same recursively until some worker does the actual work.

> When governments have tried, they have tended to fail miserably

So the federal government, which must coordinate the efforts of over 2 million employees across a more broad spectrum of activities and labor than Amazon does, doesn't count?

And is the job so hard as to mean hundreds of billions? Or is that just want the market will pay to keep Bezos around? I could understand that part, as it means the market believes Bezos current activities are worth that much. But does that mean he deserves it? I should hardly think those arguments are the same.
> It is being invested

That's where the inflation will lie then. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Buggy parser; you wouldn't call paper towels or wet wipes Kleenex, right? Because that's what you're insinuating by calling other cryptocurrencies 'Bitcoin'.
Well, yes... Assuming the mortality figure of 1-2% is correct, no lockdowns would lead to a few billion infections worldwide, which would lead to 50-100 million dead. This is roughly what world war II caused in the span of 5 years or so of planetary warfare.

Second to that, hundreds of millions more would need to be hospitalised. You'd essentially see any other healthcare be completely overwhelmed, e.g. cancer treatment or conceiving a child in the hospital. You'd see tons of excess mortality from these second hand effects as well.

Third, in general, and in particular without proper care, you'd see many people suffer permanent organ damage. We see this to be true for many who have recovered from Corona, but with permanently damaged lung or liver capacity.

Not to mention the trauma and PTSD for hundreds of millions even those who survive, who'll have experienced what it's like to (nearly) suffocate for weeks. Experiences like these would occur in every community and would likely completely shatter certain individuals, families even communities, their religious beliefs, their sense of security etc. The notion we'd let something like this happen in the 21st century. It'd be a paradigm change in our thinking for many of us who believed our live, societies, governments etc were stable and provided order. Situations like these would be ripe for abuse by political or religious extremists, violence, scape-goating etc.
Again, haven't touched Windows in years so it's entirely possible that I'm wrong or out of date, but the last time I did any kind of networking on Windows was with the WinSock API, which if I recall correctly, didn't have any support for any kind of IPC out of the box, and I had to do everything with TCP.

I might have been too harsh on Windows there, I've never paid to do any direct socket-level programming within Windows.
There is a certain school of thought that postulates that consciousness is what it feels to have a neocortex. In evolutionary terms, this is a novel experience relative to a much earlier and simpler control circuit (i.e. amygdala).

My bet is the first AI that will achieve consciousness will not have emotions coded in. It may understand human emotions on a descriptive level, but the emotions per se are not required for a functioning AI.
