I had two different scenarios in mind: one happened to an acquaintance, where they negotiated a pay cut (because presumably the company doesn't want to pay Bay Area salary to a remote worker in a location in an area w/ lower salary base), and there was the question of taxes involving part of the year in one state and part in another (plus the math for RSUs and options, of which the person had vested both in both states).

The other scenario involves visa workers. The I-140 is predicated on not being able to find local candidates that match a criteria. More broadly, the H1-B visa grant pertains to foreigners being able to work in the US at all in the first place. I'd imagine that if you had everything setup to be remote from the beginning it'd probably be fine to keep things humming along, but I imagine that switching surely must pose some sort of logistic challenge?
It's more about being effective managers. There's tons of writing and proper follow up and prep work necessary to make remote work happen and most people aren't just that diligent to do it regularly.

Most managers especially at the top are also not the most diligent people, they have employees to do the stuff that they dislike doing so when they are faced with having to do more prep work and move at what they consider a slower speed (they are wrong, all that prep work and due diligence pays off, Bezos and Amazon are a great example of that) they recoil.

"The Dispossessed" by Ursula K Le Guin is a classic science fiction novel written in 1974 about political philosophy and its relation to individuals' personal lives. The book's genius is in describing capitalism through the eyes of a protagonist for whom it is unfamiliar and literally alien.

It changed the way I think about how society today is structured and showed me that something different is possible.
I’m not, but thanks.
First for me too. I like the idea of a time limited conversion to Apache. Companies w easily AWS’d apps need some leverage and having older versions being the only open source ones makes sense. I would prefer a non commercial source available license as well or open core but this doesn’t seem too unreasonable.
In the EU at least, monetary policy is a property of the currency (which crosses borders), while fiscal policy is a property of the government (associated with a single administrative country).

If the world evolves further into currency consolidation (which seems to be the direction aspired to by many technologists hoping for Internet money), this distinction will grow in relevance.
I'm basically in this situation but I'm very confused about your assumption that my friends have scattered and that I need to build a life from scratch.

I have plenty of friends and family around me, from the various communities I've been apart of before my current workplace, and I'm loving being able to spend more time with them (online) during my less-packed days than when I had to commute to and from an office full of people in different stages of their lives than me, hence less likely to become actual friends of mine.

I don't see why turning 22 should hit the reset on your entire social life.

How about your employer just paying for a coworking space? I worked for a company that was doing that for remote worker who didn't want to stay home.
Your understanding is wrong and shows a lack of compassion for human life. Ventilated patients die because they already had extreme damage done to their lungs from a lack of interventional treatment and then are overpressurized which further damages their lungs which finally kills them. The Great Ventilator Rush was an exercise in futility and ignorant mass murder.
still requires all the costs of living within commuting distance

If you don't have to go in everyday, the possible commuting distance increases massively. Before the virus, I worked from home and my commute was 160km twice per week by high speed train.

> The company needs to do payroll in a different state and you, as an individual, now pay taxes in your state of residence which isn't where company HQ is.

This is not always true.

I'm remote. I pay my state and CA taxes for my CA based company even though I have never set foot in CA for this job.
Unemployment insurance, family/medical leave, workers comp, and health insurance are all different by state. That can be a lot of overhead for the first employee in a new state, but then the second is trivial.

This is just my random thoughts, but it would seem like Apple learned a lesson with the Mac Pro that they're not looking to repeat. The other advantage of creating high-end tools in-house is that it moves hardware, which remains a huge part of Apple's bottom line.
"The Dictator's Handbook" by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith reveals the simple principles used by everyone from CEO's, politicians, and autocrats to gather and consolidate power, depending on as few people as possible.

The general population is rarely important in this process, and of course (if you are among those accreting power) you want keep them in the dark. The illusion of participation is very important to the institutionalization of power for yourself in any kind of system, especially ones that think they are democracies.

As might be expected, to the degree they are good at it, the less the governing class needs to concern themselves with good governance or policy. And again, in the "real" Gov 101 its rule #1 that the populace doesn't understand that.

Mind bending? I think so, but I appreciate even more as a mental/citizen level up.

These are the principles they should teach kids in government class in elementary school. History without understanding this is just a database of facts.
Ahh.. the hypocrisy of the American government.

They continually accuse other countries of manipulating their currency, of creating fake stock markets, of all kinds of financial shenanigans.

And then, when crisis hits America, 3 times in the past 20 years! What does America do? The exact same thing that they accuse other countries of doing.

You should realize that by doing this, that America will never return to a normalized system, where homes are affordably priced for the average American.

What ever happened to the invisible hand of the free market? It was all just a lie. Welcome to the Ponzi scheme, called the American financial system.

This is already a pretty common situation for many companies (in NYC). A 1 hour+ commute to be more tolerable if you only have to do it twice a week. Fully remote companies, you might see your coworkers in person once a year. That's a big leap for a lot of places to accept.
So, the BBC's top story when the UK became the highest death toll in Europe was about Italy being the highest death toll in the EU, and you think that's non-partisan news? I wish I was as blissfully credulous.
The "anywhere" thing is weird though as these people don't live in the United States, so the analogy is that you are a Russian citizen living in Europe and you buy a plot of land; now, the US government tells you you aren't allowed to tell people in Europe that you maybe have a gold mine and maybe they should invest in shares of your gold, because, in the case that you do find gold, someone in the United States might one day buy some of it, which is actually kind of ridiculous on not just one but two levels: that the US has jurisdiction over your behavior at all when you aren't yourself a US citizen, you don't live in the US, and you aren't even dealing with other US citizens, because theoretically the people you deal with might one day themselves deal with US citizens (which is an analysis I am just believing from this article: I haven't read the actual complaints from the SEC); but also the very idea that the US thinks that the shares of future gold that may or may not exist might still be a security even after you find the gold (assuming you map it out and know how much exists after you find it, which I think is a reasonable analogy for a post-launch distributed protocol project) because of this weird theory that they sometimes have that "once a security always a security" (which is based on some context I have outside of this article).

> But the Fed QE from '08 didn't make it back if I understand it correctl...I think we managed to unwound about a quarter or a third (?) of the outstanding debt before this crisis hit and the Fed had to issue new QE all over again.

I disagree. We never unwound and all that stimulus did come back, but only in things that people wanted: healthcare, education, real estate, and stock prices.

Things that were discretionary like air travel and electronics were stuck and have generally stayed there in nominal dollars.

We will see this again. The best lie the Fed ever created was to convince people that you have to see inflation everywhere for it to be real inflation. It would be very hard to achieve the sort of 1930s German inflation, or a Zimbawean scenario. What you'll see is that your food costs 50% of your income and rent is the other 50%. Social programs will either be cut or become ineffective, as more of the government's budget is devoted to servicing debt.
Thanks for answering my questions!

I can't agree more with your last sentence. Why Blackrock? I really want to read their reasoning of using Blackrock as a broker other than it being the biggest fund manager. The Fed is big enough and why can't it buy the bonds directly. Maybe their weak excuse is that they can execute it via Blackrock ETFs quickly. But still...then why not spread it evenly over other institutions like Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.?

How to Break Free of Amazon During Quarantine and Beyond
I read that thread too. Being in my mid 40's I agree with most of what was said.

Some of the life lessons I have shared my kids, including my 22 year old.

1. Listen to people to hear them not just to respond. You will develop better connections with people and have greater respect & understanding for people this way and they for you.

2. Pay more attention to what people's actions are and less to what they tell you. This applies heavily to social media. What people post is what they want you to perceive, not necessarily what is reality.

3. You have to be your own, humble, cheerleader. Celebrate your wins, and don't be too hard yourself when you fail, failure is just an opportunity to learn a new lesson.

4. Expect that people will do what is in their own best interest until you see otherwise. It is human nature and you shouldn't be upset with someone for it. This one thing has kept me from being disappointed and upset with so many people because when you expect it you aren't hurt by it. Doesn't make me dislike anyone more, it lets me accept them as human.

> Why not allow nesting both ways? Why not allow timelines to be embedded within dataflow graphs, and then triggered by events that occur at arbitrary times? The outermost container can be a canvas embedding a single timeline if that's your thing.

That is the case in ossia, timelines can embed flow graphs, and flow graphs can embed timelines (and timelines can embed timelines and flowgraphs can embded flowgraphs... most things are composable).
But, unlike Max / PD, cables can be connected across hierarchy levels so 99% of the time you don't need to resort to a specific "subpatch", you just connect things in the timeline itself.

> and then triggered by events that occur at arbitrary times?

However, the timeline has a built-in mechanism for that - see "open the floodgates" here : https://ossia.github.io/score/first_steps/time_approach/inde...

the doc is pretty outdated but this should give an idea :)
In person teams are easy, and fully remote teams are easy too. A blend is extremely hard to get right. If you are in a meeting and some people are in the room while others are beamed in via a projector, the remote folks will always feel like second hand citizens. Depending on what kind of person you are, you might have enough skill to still participate in the discussion, but it will always be harder than just being in the room.

The best way to do partially remote is to have even the in-office people dial into the meetings individually as well. This also means trading in your whiteboard for remote collaboration tools like Lucidchart to allow remote folks to contribute as well.

If you actually do this, then I find that over time, the in-office people will begin to question why they are in the office and slowly drift off to be remote, leading to a 100% distributed team.

If you don't do this, then the remote people slowly get isolated and cease to become valuable contributors, eventually either leaving to fully distributed teams, or coming back into the office. Either way though, the partially distributed team eventually gravitates one way or the other.

Sure, they're looking for new languages to play with. They're not looking for new languages to write major projects in, though. You write major projects in languages that you have already fiddled in, and the fiddling has given you confidence that they're up to the task. Nobody (sane) sees a publicity blurb and decides to bet a major project on it.

Don't confuse "they came to a different conclusion than me" with "they're sheep".
50,000 may even be an underestimate as the reduced commuting from lots of work from home and reduced employment leads to fewer traffic fatalities and this hasn't been accounted for. These things are really hard to measure well.

I wonder what the US going into a deflationary spiral would mean for real estate like rental houses? When economists say deflationary spiral do they mean prices of assets (like houses) would fall?
I'm pretty much the demographic described above: on the younger side, and optimized for central location in housing.

I have a fairly small 1BR. I don't really have a proper work environment set up--what's the point of cramming a desk in if I'm going into the office every day? I have no yard, so at the moment fresh air is limited. I work, cook, eat, and sleep within the same three rooms.

That's not even touching on people who paid out the ass to get studios in trendier neighborhoods. Personally, I'd lose my mind.

Contrast this with my parents in the suburbs. It's normally a longer commute, but there's a dedicated office, a back yard, and just generally more breathing room.

I think a lot of this is less WFH-related, and more, y'know, apocalypse-related. I could work from a coffee shop or coworking space. Go to the park. Go out for dinner/drinks in the evening. Hell, I could've gotten a bigger, cheaper place if commute time wasn't an issue.

But for the time being, the sprawl of suburban living seems to have its perks.

If that really happens, the next order effect will be cheaper rents in the bay area.

Even now, there are some good rent deals. I moved to a new apartment a couple weeks ago (mainly because I needed a better WFH space to work effectively) and got 6 weeks free on my lease, which isn't normally seen in the bay area.

When the pandemic passes though I do hope to be able to return to working from an office, if just because it's less lonely and there is usually better sunlight in business spaces than what I get at home. Maybe 2-3 days a week in the office and 2-3 days from home would be a nice balance, when it is safe to do so. Employers may also see the value in at least providing some additional financial incentive for living closer to the office and being willing to come to the office (if safe), although enabling full remote work for those who choose it is something I also fully agree with.
> To give an analogue in the English language: you wouldn't address your boss with "yo n"

Not even close, not even close. Why would you even write this? This must be a dog whistle.

Edit: that link you posted justs lists the €600 as "this happened once and depends on income of offender", also there is no source.

In addition, the intro paragraph says

> Es gibt jedoch bei Beleidigung keinen „Bußgeldkatalog“. Vor Gericht wird der Straftatbestand der Beleidigung verurteilt.

which translates to there is no schedule of penalties but it all depends on the statutory offence.
So my understanding is there was a criminal offence that included an insult (saying "Du") which was mentioned in the report but not the cause for the fine in the first place.
LOL, there's nothing unusual. The only unusual thing is the ombudsman taking note.
> hilariously late in imposing lockdown

It's shameful that any country put practically their entire citizenry under house arrest.

If someone is scared of catching something, they should stay home. If they want, they can live their life in a full-body condom, covered in bubble-wrap, soaking their hands in chlorhexidine, sipping O2 from a tank. Nobody is or should be putting a gun to their head to come out.

The UK government, and governments around the world, have indeed failed. They've failed to protect the liberty of the people, and in fact have become tyrannical.
This is hardly surprising.

Not to crap on MS, but I do think Linux has traditionally just been a better operating system for servers, probably due to the fact that that's where most of the funding for Linux ends up going, with the desktop versions of Linux being sort of secondary.

It doesn't help that a lot of serverey software is kind of designed with POSIX-ey stuff in mind. Node.js took awhile to get Windows support and ZeroMQ's Windows support doesn't support IPC sockets. Hell, in the little bit of testing that I've done with this, .NET Core is faster on Linux than Windows.

This isn't to say Windows is "bad". I'm personally not a fan but plenty of smart people I know like Windows better than Linux. It's just to say that, for the domain that Azure fills, Linux is often a better fit, and if MS wants to compete with AWS, it would be borderline-idiotic not to support Linux.
