Completely agree - I've tried and failed many times to move from Orlando to Bay area. FAANG (finance work) wasnt willing to pay to relocate so they always went with local candidates over me. There are little to no interesting companies in my area. I want to work and help build the future. I was willing to take a paycut from MCOL to HCOL area for jobs and willing to go down in seniority for a chance to work at a big company in the Bay area. It would be nice if they finally start opening the applicant pool to those in other cities.
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

Prose poems, short 1-2 page descriptions of fictional cities. It’s a good gift to give and I like to pick it up at random, open to a random one, and sit with the imagery it conjures.

If I had a ‘you could bring one thing to a deserted island’ then that would be it.
Lots of generalization in here. I find that #1 and #3 are often under people's control. With the right setup, dedicated room, dedicated hours and time keeping it's easy to not let those happen.

What you mention in your second argument is interesting, I always forget about that one. In most of Europe and most of North-America I would assume this not to be an issue.
This is a dangerous title and I hate it because the implication is remote work = bad. These stupid titles are what people (e.g. Marissa Mayer) refer to as evidence when trying to enforce non-telecommute cultures.

The article itself is good and raises some serious questions worth discussing and even encourages finding ways to allow remote work for lower-income jobs, so I would have preferred "Remote work and solving inequality" or even "Remote work and inequality" as a title.

I really wish "journalists" would stop writing opinionated and click-bait titles like this because it's really damaging to those of us that have livelihoods built around these things. If you're trying to bring attention to inequality so we can better the lives of more people then that's great, but don't do it at the expense of destroying other lives. I'm seeing more and more articles attacking remote work like this and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little anxious.
Why a wormer? And why stop all dairy?
My understanding is that this has big tax implications (since presumably said low cost of living areas are outside of California). I would love to understand better what sorts of complications WFH bring to the table for those cases (and how they can be mitigated).
They like to joke about how HN is SJW but as someone who leans to the right, HN is one of the few online places where I can discuss politics with people of different opinions with being called a Nazi or being banned.

I recommend Plutarch's Lives, I own the Oxford World's Classics translations of 'Roman Lives' and 'Greek lives' and the stories told between the two alone allow to you build a mental model of the nature of mankind, the rise and fall of empires, and the "vicissitudes of fortune".
Debt spending tends to turn into tax increases if you actually plan on paying the money back
Mass-gathering and privatization, I think.

If you try to outlaw mass-gathering alone, you're gonna have a bad time. "The Transparent Society" gives a good argument for why that's trying to put a genie back in a bottle (i.e. it would trade out the power asymmetry you're describing for the same power asymmetry exploited by different groups).

Better to kill the real estate data asymmetry advantage by having the government collate and publish that data on everyone's behalf than by trying to make it illegal.
Most of what the government had said and done in the beginning (and perhaps still now) was factually nonsensical and had attracted widespread criticism from experts. It isn't "gloating" to try remind people of what had been said and to hold the government to account.
friendly suggestion, when sharing the URL it's helpful for the reader if you stylize it like the site does (collabUML). Otherwise it's hard not to see a misspelling of "collab album".
This article is a piece of crap.

It is not factual but playing on baseless fears.
Like that something is unsafe just because not made with last hype language.
Take go for example if anything unexpected happen, this shit trigger an assert that crash everything. Is it safe?

Like the sudo example is ridiculous: the command allows you to execute a restricted command but it is not made to check your current environnement.

It is safe if you know the context you are using.
But if you just arrive on the screen of someone else ans it is asking for your password, sure it is unsafe to type your password:
maybe you are not even in a Real shell, maybe all are just fake screen.
For example, someone can create a rigged fake webbrowser and within tell you to connect to your facebook. Then ssl check marks does not help to ensure the safety.
That is an user issue and not a platform issue!

Note that politics in the UK are VERY polarised at the moment, therefore the quality of the discussion here will inevitably be one-sided and of low-value.

I think I understand the "more in sadness than in anger" tone of the post better now too. They did fine for themselves didn't they.
Love that. I've learned two things about myself in the last 5 years or so:

- I have very little self control when impulses are right in front of me. This goes for most things: drinking (especially out), food/snacks, purchases, even exercise (eg. just keep hiking a little farther vs. stopping).

- I have enormous self control if I "distance" myself from impulse. This means not buying snacks in the first place, trying out alternative forms of exercise, not buying beer except on weekends, putting things from Amazon on a wishlist vs. clicking the Buy Now button.

I know my impulses well enough at this point, and maybe there is something to be said for these methods not actually controlling them (just avoiding them), but they are much healthier mentally for me since I can indulge when things are around that I want without feeling guilty for being constantly indulging.

I see a lot of people wanting to monitor CO2 levels. But what's the cheapest remediation option for an individual if the outside air is also pretty bad whether other pollution or just high CO2?

The questions I have are: is it more effective to scrub the CO2 or just to increase the partial oxygen pressure? What are the options for each.

Given that oxygen tanks are existing medical device, I would assume that just supplementing oxygen is the easiest way to offset the CO2. Or is the CO2 harmful even in high oxygen environments?

The study does mention "[Studies] like Satish et al. (2012) and Allen et al. (2016) are part of a growing body of scientific evidence pointing to CO2 as a pollutant—not just a proxy for ventilation rate—with direct detrimental impacts on the cognitive function of humans in schools and offices."
Like I said there's nothing wrong with the stack. I was ONLY speaking of my personal preferences why I choose not to Java when I can Go:
Just personal preferences.

-- Compile times!

-- Operational complexity vs. Go.

-- Built-in tooling vs. Go.

-- Verbose XML configuration files.

-- Lots of libs favor XML vice JSON.

-- Deeply-nested code directories.

-- Class-centric model (only).

-- Verbosity and boilerplate.

-- Factories of factories of factories. :)

-- JVM install and config (many dials = control but also complexity).

-- Impractical / painful to write without an IDE.

-- Concurrency model, as compared to Go.

-- Std lib not matched to work I use Go for.

-- Memory consumption.

-- Performance (for the work I do).

-- Multiple inheritance (allows unnecessary complexity).

> I do know Logic. It's a well respected DAW and some musicians do buy a Mac just to be able to use Logic.

I think you just hit on the test Apple has historically used to decide which pro software to continue developing and which to discontinue.

Logic and Final Cut are both decades-old industry standards that demonstrably sell Mac hardware. Aperture, though? It was too new to have the installed base of either. It debuted around the same time as Lightroom, and as competitive as it may have been, I have a hard time imagining a Windows user in the 2000s specifically eyeing it as a reason to switch to Mac.
I think that lockdowns are there in order to get time to put systems for managing an outbreak in place. So one would hope that effective track and trace, isolation and public space management protocols and construction of overflow treatment capacity would be priorities when a lockdown is underway, as lockdown is unsustainable over medium term and up.
I would imagine salaries might dip because your new "competition" would be anyone in the same timezone (with the requisite skills). However I'd also imagine, if you are good, the offset would be well in your favour.

I got covid and was (and still am) as sick as hell. I'm going to live (not sure if I will get back to 100% yet), and I never thought this kind of sorely needed decentralization would happen in my lifetime. It almost feels like a fair swap, as this is going to be so, so good for humanity. If we can get a decent handle on covid, I'm actually feeling optimistic for my children, for the first time in years.

Could you imagine how rad it must be to work from home without kids?

My wife and I both work full time with a 3yo at home, so rather than put him in front of a screen we work in shifts - one of us does 6:30 ᴀ.ᴍ. to 12:30, then we switch until 6:30. It's really tough.
I have switched to Capture One, which is overly expensive and has less-intelligent defaults, but I can also buy a perpetual license.

Yes this is true. It's a beef flavoring. My father spent the majority of his career in food-processing engineering working in a factory that made McDonald's french fries and confirmed this was the case. They're also par-cooked (pre-fried) before being flash frozen, and they don't use a batter or seasoning. Interesting tidbit, all of their competitors had their fries made in the same facility. I believe most of them even used the same type of potatoes.
I have everything you list above, and I'm not swayed.

I still looking forward to going back to normal. I've never been the social butterfly who sees tons of friends on a regular basis out of work, and yet I enjoy talking to others. Work gives me that, lunch at work gives me that too.

Some of my colleagues are razor smart. I can have lunch time discussions about rocketry or special video coding algorithms or War time cryptography, just random interesting stuff that I'd never have otherwise.

Working at home has some benefits, but how many times do you really use that swimming pool?
I'm sorry you experienced difficulty purchasing it. If you are still having issues you can email me philip@kiely.xyz I'll see what I can do.
The parent's proposal would cause a great deal of inflation, which would diminish demand for negative-rate notes.

If someone wants to print money, they should just print money, not try to cover it up, as that will just prolong and worsen the eventual pain.
It does change my response, to a null one, because you're now not saying any of the things I was reacting to.
I am of that age and I can say I have hated the last few weeks working from home. I feel isolated and I like talking at work, I also have an easier time actually doing work at a workplace rather than sitting at home, also I just like going out grabbing a few drinks after work.

Of course the latter is more an issue of the pandemic right now than just remote work in principle but I have the sense that remote working also leads to less spontaneous interaction.
My take is that there are two interests in self driving cars for Google Proper (i.e. Search, Maps, Youtube, News, Ads).

* Free version of Uber/Lyft based on a Google ad/maps referral as described by this patent [1]

* Free up peoples commute times so there eyeballs are free to use Google more (watch Youtube, use Google Search, read Google News). Perhaps even access free in-Waymo wifi that only allows Google domain access.

They have monopolies in these two areas and therefore neither requires 100% ownership in Waymo.

So it's US corporations moving their international earnings to Ireland and using the cash they keep there to buy US Treasurys, because they don't have that many things to invest in and they can't pay out dividends because they don't want to repatriate and pay taxes?
Ignoring the awful attempt at conversational writing, this is bad news for Americans in the long term.

Short term we add liquidity, allow hedge funds to delever, and prop up a market everyone wants to crash. Longer term the taxpayers (individuals and American businesses) are going to be eating the cost.

This bailout makes 2008 a blip on the radar. It's going to take decades to play out.
Yes, in my experience the key to a highly functional remote environment is async collaboration.

By this I mean written roundtables/stand-ups (with a focus on putting the detail in the tickets and just bringing up blockers), written RFCs and review periods for larger initiatives, comprehensive action logs (admin logs, etc), detailed documentation, detailed commit messages, etc etc.

Deadlines are fine, but people need to be able to be aware of the timeline up front and have autonomy to work within their own schedule to meet it.

This becomes especially important when multiple time zones come into play.

Essentially it's a matter of replacing as many meetings as possible with recored (written and/or multimedia) versions that convey the same content, focusing on maximizing transparency and collaboration.
Wait, so you can move to a super expensive place and the company will subsidize your mortgage investment?
My partner is home and doing most of the stuff with the children, which is great... but it's still going on in the background. With lots of conflict. Two kids -- including an adolescent going through some serious adolescent stuff right now -- and a border collie rampaging around the house.

Just to balance your comment slightly, the UK death rate is not out of proportion to other countries in Europe.
Gitlabs salaries are historically low compared to what I'd expect, but their talent is also much more global than a lot of big tech corps so while you won't find someone from CA expecting a "high" CA salary there you'll find a lot of great global talent that probably has a more difficult time working at a $big_name since they might not have offices in their country.

None of the salaries I've seen there seem remotely "senior/architect" level if you want Bay/WA talent.

That's the way I see the company, at least.
Maybe people need to learn to do this better virtually? In theory it should be faster remote than in person. You are communicating at the speed of light, if someone is ignoring you that’s a different issue.
I recently bought 4x WD HGST WUH721414ALE6L4 512e 14TB. The 4Kn's were the same price but on lengthy backorder/dropship from WD, so that wasn't going to work. Also, I absolutely refuse to buy the WD Gold (WD141KRYZ) that is effectively the same product but at a much higher price ($480 vs. $346). Marketing people can take a long walk from a short pier.

possibly shouldn't have used the word 'counterpoint'.

c19 has given people an experience of "almost everyone WFH and the company didn't end".

"There's no reason they go back to thinking F2F is better, unless it actually is". It IS better for some people individually - we see it here on HN in comments from people who prefer to be able to go to an office. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach.

To the extent that we see more WFH across the board, I think it'll be driven far more by "get rid of the office expense" - hard $ savings - vs "everyone's more productive!". They'll be "productive enough", relative to the cost savings of less (or no) office space.

Just my 2c, obviously.

I couldn't agree more. If I could work from home permanently I would move far far away from where I am currently living. I would get myself a nice condo or small house, and settle in. Currently, where I live, despite the fact that I make almost 30k/year more than the medium average income I still can only just afford a one bedroom apartment spending the suggested 30% of my income. Imagine being able to buy a house!!!! What a world that would be!!!
I said it because the article was suggesting that government should fix the WFH gap, and I assert that you can’t for the reasons I stated. That’s. It.

I find it extremely weird and not a tiny bit annoying that you’re continuing to assert what you think I’m saying even as I correct you.
What about if all of society did this, and you all had a great webcam, and for lunch you went out locally with your local friends, then when you knock off at 5pm you have all agreed to play soccer down the local park at 5:10pm ?

I'm sure people will respond with the obvious need for an onboarding guide or helper, but even this is harder to do remote. When I onboard in-person I can watch the new hire, judge their mental state or know if they're busy, check in with them often - at the right time and get to know them personally. All do-able remote but much harder.

My favorite aspect of the book is the way in which it depicts “addiction” in its many forms such as being addicted to drugs, playing sports, consumer products or work. It makes you think hard about the elusive nature of happiness and fulfillment.
I am not sure I understand the question. I already stated the controller type. I have not done anything with STM32 but if it does have proper PWM and timers I assume it can bee done just as easy.

Torque control is more complex than just simply running 3ph AC motor off DC.

Anyone getting an air quality monitor specifically because of an interest in CO2 needs to be a bit wary, a lot of them claim to have a CO2 sensor but are actually just predicting CO2 levels based on other sensors designed to measure human occupancy. CO2 sensors are/were very popular for HVAC systems to use as a proxy reading of human occupancy levels and general air quality to meet air quality requirements. Now more modern (cheaper) air quality sensors are available which measure a mix of VOCs exhaled by people instead of CO2 but have an output mode that emulates the reading from a CO2 sensor at a similar occupancy level so that HVAC systems wouldn't have to redesign their control systems / formulas, usually marketed as "equivalent CO2" (or eCO2) readings.

Because they're called eCO2 sensors while being cheaper and lower power than real CO2 sensors, many air quality monitors have been using them and then surfacing their readings as "CO2 levels" under the mistaken belief that they can use the sensor to measure CO2. But it won't measure environmental CO2 at all, just predict the amount of CO2 the humans in a room would typically generate. Which is all you need for air quality monitoring, but just be aware you're not actually measuring CO2 if that's what you're curious about.

There are monitors with real CO2 sensors, but you'll want to look for a teardown to see what sensor is actually being used before you purchase. The Awair 2 seems to have a real NDIR CO2 sensor (Telaire T6703), for example: https://wiki.liutyi.info/display/CO2/Awair+2+inside#Awair2in...
