Can you provide an example of a time peaceful strikes worked against a well-organized, massive, and authoritarian government like the CCP? I don't think comparing wins in civil rights in Western democracies is a good basis for policy here.

You're focusing on semiconductors but the same period saw a large number of new plastics, velcro, contact lenses, credit cards, the atomic clock, the orbital rocket / artificial satellite, the laser, the seat belt, fibre optics, the LED, and many other materials science breakthroughs.
That's an incredibly naive perspective on media to take.

If national news stations get high ratings does that mean people necessarily like the people generating or publishing the content? Is it impossible for a medium to generate interest and attention while actively attempting to exploit or manipulate its viewers?

And the police killed nearly 6,000 people in the U.S. since 2015, without due process: https://github.com/washingtonpost/data-police-shootings/blob... (that equals to about 3 per day, I am surprised that I don't hear more about them)

(I posted this in another thread, but it's also relevant here)

As a new grad, 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 mental well-being. I feel a stronger sense of purpose when I can see that the people around me are all invested in the same project I'm working on.
Well the risk here is that Hong Kong is merely the beginning and based on how the world reacts will determine their action towards Taiwan. They likely will wait till the next US election to take stronger action in either case. They pretty much tipped their hand with mock invasions of Taiwan, can you imagine the international uproar if the US did the same with North Korea?
Oh boy I wouldn't be so sure after having a look at it on github.

That area of the world is also quite... racist... might be the word, but it's not quite equivalent. After traveling asia for work, it's quite a different form but the same principle.

The more positive way to say it is there's is an extraordinary amount of identity wrapped up in your ethnicity and birth country. A HKer is not likely to be welcome in TW.
With a quick glance it looks like Blunt has fewer classes. It seems to be more of a utility + whatever-css-method you choose, e.g.BEM.

Blunt has utilities for margin, padding, height, width, font size, line height, grid and classes for row, column and some text alignment utilities.

Tailwind includes border, font color, transitions, background color, etc.

I'm using Tailwind on a project right now. My first one. I like it. But the big appeal to me is using the same classes on all of my projects. It's less cognitive overhead than coming up with names, dealing with scope creep on classes, etc.

That said, a buddy of mine that is a much better web developer than I uses Sass to make base utility classes and a BEM like approach for the rest.
In the USA there are usually around 35-40k traffic fatalities per year. COVID19 even with the lockdowns has killed around 95k. With the release of restrictions, soon there will be more.
Salaries will almost certainly be cut. If you can go 100% remote someone in the Midwest can do your job on $80k/year. All the places you listed are still expensive and if you are remote you don’t need to live there.
I don't know if they will, and don't even know if they know, but I think you are 100% right that they are leaving that on the table privately. There is really nothing to stop them from undoing the policy or altering so that particular teams (which end up being a large portion of the workforce) need to come in.

For now, it saves tremendous costs as it could be over a year before their typical engineer wants to come into an office.
It was also a personality-driven decision (Mayer).
This too. We have a new guy and he is having trouble getting up to speed. Normally they would just hover our someone's shoulder for a while. That can no longer be done.
No I read that, I meant, what type of experiment that proves that statement would you like to see. Because I feel like if I point out some research you would find something weird about them just to dismiss them, so I'm asking beforehand what kind of setup or study would like to see.
That one is so bad and so obvious to anyone who takes the time to actually read the labels that it feels like a case of malicious compliance. A boss needed a chart to support a falling case count and someone made him a visually appealing one while also showing the trend is BS.
Sure, I'm not saying it's "free and fair elections", but it had a functioning, western-style court system, a level of free speech recognizable to any part of the west, things like that.

And given that the UK itself has most of these things, I highly doubt they'd arbitrarily deny them to a dependent territory without good reason (especially when their other territories all have some measure of representative government). Other comments describing Chinese threats provide one possible good reason.
To me commuting is a huge source of stress. I'm often mentally exausted by wednsday.
Your estimates are even a bit low - we don't have a grid and drop employees in from above.

With each 8 s.f., there is additional overhead for hallways (minimum width prescribed by ADA in the United States), bathrooms, and other necessary fixtures. If you counted everything in an office, it's probably at least 25% higher than that.
As someone who has worked from home for a decade-plus, don't discount the surreal and disorienting pandemic.

Have you tried speaking to a doctor? You've mentioned age-related conditions but I'm not sure if that's what your mother has?

I have an essential tremor (I'm 34, my mum has the same tremor, and I've had it since I was a child), and it was able to be stopped almost completely with Propranolol, a beta-blocker. I'm not a medical professional, so I'm not sure whether that's a good suggestion for your mother though, so seek professional assistance first.
I wonder how much this situation would have benefited WeWork, and how much the future of WFH will create opportunities for its successor
Bike theft and lack of bike parking seem like wildly cheaper and easier to solve problems than the mass of traffic infrastructure problems needed solved for cars.
> Xerox PARC's key computing inventions cost a total of US$48 million in today's dollars [1]

This sounds like a form of suvivorship bias. If you know which research pans out it wouldn't be research. You need to also include the cost of research done by other companies that led to nothing or something less impactful.
It's been hard to make an underpowered calculator for 30+ years. What computationally intensive tasks does one even try to attempt on a calculator?

I do remember IRR calcs on an HP-12C taking a few seconds, or so. And that machine is not cheap either.

That being said, who's running IRR on a pocket calculator?
> Experts can be wrong or change their views over time and they should be open to being challenged by others. No one has a monopoly on data or logic or free thought.

Experts discover they are wrong and change their views based on evidence, not based on what other experts or non-experts say.

Non-experts, like the majority of HN users, really can only go off the word of experts at some point, unless we decide to spend the time studying a field to become experts.

And to be clear, I'm not saying "experts" only meaning people who got a degree in a field. A degree is only the most obvious way to show expertise in a field. But it's quite possible to study a field for a long time without getting a degree. But it's not at all apparent that Sakora has done that--in fact, all evidence I see seems to be trying to gloss over his lack of expertise.

Show HN: One-Click Crunchbase Chrome Extension
I've beed doing market research recently and realized that I'm doing the same pattern repeatedly:
1) Open the company page
2) Copy company's name
3) Google for Crunchbase page
4) Analyze Crunchbase company info

And surprisingly, there was no chrome extension that could just show Crunchbase info in one click, without registration and other bullshit.

So I made one for myself, maybe you will also find it useful :)

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

If you have a specific reason to believe that the model resulted in an incorrect conclusion, feel free to share it, instead of casting aspersions with cryptic nothings.
Take an extreme example: consultants, in order to be colocated, routinely travel ~8 hours twice a week AND convince their clients to pay an extra ~2k/person/week. Why? Shouldn't firms that don't require travel have outcompeted firms that do, if it's such a costly activity? why has the industry standardized on crazy levels of travel?

(1) Personal relationships & trust - it's very, very hard to build strong personal relationships without face-to-face contact. Impact often requires trust that's hard(er) to build remotely.

(2) Casual serendipity - New projects (innovation) are hard to identify in a vacuum. It's the lunch-conversation "huh, maybe that could work" that often drives impactful change. MUCH harder to do that remotely.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323798104578455...

(3) Fewer meetings - if every interaction of substance (read: not an easy slack message) has to be a scheduled, there are a lot more meetings. Admittedly, this is just my experience, but I've seen it more than once.

Note that all of these are long-term trends. Maybe they get resolved as people get used to working remotely and new patterns emerge. But at least for me, this is why I wouldn't think most companies should go remote.

Those Canadian experts haven't been telling you not to wear a mask, have they? I can't find evidence of that - I just find them saying they don't have scientific evidence (yet) that wearing masks prophetically is necessary. Which is a very different thing.

I'm glad a few companies are being dragged kicking and screaming into the XXIst century. I have had to turn down attractive job offers because they wanted me to relocate to do a job that can be done just as effectively -- more effectively even -- remotely.

I spent 7 years working purely remotely with a globally-distributed all-remote team for a mostly remote company. I'm not impressed by armchair arguments of "it won't work" because I've done it and it works great. Nor am I impressed by the argument of "I don't like it so no one should do it" because I don't like commuting or working in a rigid office regime so my counter is "I don't like it so no one should do it" right back.

Also, I spent a year working in the building beside Shopify's head office and the 1-to-3 hour commute (each way) and downtown parking fees would be a big incentive for me to choose remote work if I was an employee there. So good on them.

If you don’t need to be near Manhattan you don’t need to live there. Or maybe your loud neighbors won’t need to live there. Ceteris paribus working from home kinda sucks, but if you think about how many systems will change, I think it’s gonna get better.
But presumably you live in that apartment because you needed to be within commuting distance of the Manhattan office? If you don't need to be so close to Manhattan I would guess (not really knowing anything about your situation) that you could afford a mansion in a town or village instead.
Wouldn't be so sure about it, having lived in Taiwan for many years, a lot of my friends there people leaving HK and setting up a new base in Taiwan. The writing is similar (both HK and Taiwan are far from China's simplified Chinese), the spoken language has a lot of commonalities (bunch of dialects in Taiwan that are closer), and the culture & mindset is very close. Not totally a surprise as Taiwan has a lot of dissidents who left China in earlier conflicts, for quite a while back.

So yeah, from personal experience, Hongkongers fit right in coming to Taiwan.
I think about (and struggle to value) point C often. The disruption can be very annoying but the knowledge transfer often has a huge multiplier attached to it. One person's small piece of knowledge can give an entire team major traction. This model also promotes tribal knowledge and weak documentation...which is acceptable for a small company, not so much for larger companies where people are spread out across geographies.

I wonder, is this a proxy for remote teams? Will large companies have an outsized advantage in this space? Or does the lower overhead favor small companies?
> And given that the UK itself has most of these things, I highly doubt they'd arbitrarily deny them to a dependent territory without good reason (especially when their other territories all have some measure of representative government).

Setting aside HK, we apparently have very different reads on how the British Empire acted everywhere else, as well.

Did "you're fucked" mean the Constitution is degrading?

That's, I believe, parent poster's point; without qualifiers, there's no conversation to be had on the topic. Because that is the dichotomy of early 21st-century America: objective measures of "how the country's doing" are at odds with subjective concepts like "Are we free?" You have to start by even coming to agreement that less "freedom" (and one should probably qualify that---freedom from what, freedom to do what) for more GDP, more safety, more prosperity is a bad thing.

Good open source projects for beginners?
I'm learning javascript and am still in the beginner phase. Are there any open source projects that would accept work from a beginner? How do I find them if so? Or is it unlikely I will be of any use until I'm at a more advanced level?

For an idea of my level, a recent project was a basic 2 player card game that used html, css, vanilla JS, websockets, s3 and EC2. It was completed with a lot of handholding from tutorials and the code is a mess.

GitHub Protips- Tips, tricks, hacks, and secrets from Sarah Vessels
the argument against any real oversight in how a subreddit is run or an appeal procedure for moderator decisions is that if you don't like the rules, you can find a similarly-themed subreddit to participate in. When all the subreddits are run by the same couple of people, if you disagree with the mods you have no recourse other than to leave the site.
Sorry, no, I meant the opposite. Being available for essentially arbitrary interruptions is part of how some people naturally work.
I would argue that absorbing new information would be much easier in a remote-first environment (such meandering conversations would be available for everyone to see, not just the participants of a given conversation). The rest of what you said is not unique to new-grads in any way. Also, a remote-first company could still have an office - albeit reduced. If all your friends were at remote-first companies wouldn't you have a better time working in a coworking space with your friends?

In any case, remote-first doesn't mean WFH-only in any case, so you could just go into the office, no?
I find this strange as they've just recently opened brand new fancy offices in Toronto. As I've visited these offices, you could see through the glass windows of meeting rooms, people brainstorming in groups on whiteboards and presumably working together on solving interesting problems. I'm not sure if working from home is conducive to this type of group problem solving/brainstorming sessions.
Why are people surprised? I'm frankly surprised this didn't happen sooner. The handover was 1987 it's over 30 years now. The Chinese have been slowly gutting HK and moving the financial center over to Shanghai for decades now. The idea that China wouldn't take over HK and essentially crush it into line is shocking to me. I wish it didn't happen but it's fairly obvious it would. I have many, many friends currently living in HK right now and they all seem to be living with their heads in their sand for years now.
It maybe was not democratic, but its pretty hard to complain about your rulers if they transformed a poor small town into one of the richest places in the world, with pretty much every freedom of a comparable western democracy arguable in many aspects more free.

Exactly how were the people not free, in the 1980s?

Do you think its impossible to have freedom without local democracy?
Yea a lot of microsoft stuff doesn’t work in Firefox. They are the worst of all the big companies at supporting it.
People are going to change their tune once the paycuts start coming. There is no reason to pay SF money to someone living in the Midwest. $80k a year is comfortable most places. I hope remote first people like the suburbs and country because there is no reason to live in the city with no office.

The real truth though is most people are far less productive remote because it requires proactive communication and self discipline that just don’t appear because now you are working remotely.

This is to virtue signal and get out of expensive real estate in Civic Center SF in Twitter’s case. That area is a zombie apocalypse.

If you are fully remote then anyone in the world can do your job. Supply goes up prices go down. I bet execs will get paid the same though.
> fly literally every employee out once a quarter and throw a giant party

Please don't! I love working remotely; but I don't want to travel for work. I don't need a party. I don't need a fancy offsite. I don't want to spend a week with colleagues in some ridiculous tropical destination.

I want to quietly work from home, deliver quality work, get paid for it, and enjoy my life. Being forced to travel is the opposite of enjoying life.

This was my stance before the era of COVID-19... Now, I'm definitely not boarding any kind of airplanes.
Definitely. I mean, in the vast majority of cases, the moderators are just "regular users" who are given (or chose in the case of the creation of subreddits) power over other users. Even if the moderators are employees they are still fallible, with personal motives, just like the people they moderate.

In the end, that's why its such a difficult problem. You take the normal conflict that occurs in communities, add in the potential for malicious actors on both sides and it's no surprise that the normal conflicts can spiral out of control. Especially in the virtual and relatively anonymous setting of online communities.

And from a person on the outside looking in, it can be impossible to actually know what the truth is.
So all of the negatives of working at an office (distractions, commute, etc) with none of the perks (free food, good tech, access to coworkers). I enjoy the office as a perk (with wfh an as needed thing rather than a regular thing) and consider it part of my comp. I'd would want a substantial raise if Im going to be expected to outfit space on my own to serve the same purpose.
