New Zealand or Tasmania (AU).

Assumptions: Timezone matching isn't a constraint. Political administrations within a nation oscillate, but in general little substantive changes as people pick between two similar options. Proximity to other specific humans isn't a constraint (this seems to be a common requirement expressed in this thread). Alternatively - assume international travel is restored to normalcy.

Rationale: southern hemisphere is desirable for air quality. Politically stable (relatively). Good soil - volcanic, non-polluted. Low population density. Affordable & sizeable parcels of land - sufficient to generate food and maybe income - within commutable distance of a sufficiently large & sophisticated metropolis. Within those criteria, also easy to obtain a location at least 10m, preferably much more, above sea level. There are other considerations but they make me sound a tad paranoid.

He is surrounded by incompetent and bootlicker advisors.

This administration is one of the most corrupt and violent in the past 20 years.

He has three pharaonic projects to build an outdated infrastructure that only "benefits" the president's home state.

He is actively stopping the construction for renewable energy projects and foreign investment.
Great, if you agree that everyone should be paid according to their value, then we can go ahead and drop salaries by a good what, 40-50%? Since Silicon Valley (and many other tech hubs) has resulted in massively inflated software engineer salaries due to the high COL rather than any actual demonstration of performance.

Why should people in SV earn 120k+ per year over someone out in the rust belt doing the same work at 50-60k a year?
Either, I've been in California all my life. Looking for a change but also down for any suggestions in California but outside of major cities.
So MiniConf is effectively a framework for maintaining a conference/event website. It takes care of presenting the program, schedule and ties together the presentations content (video, slides) which are hosted and served by third-party providers.

The result is a static website where the participants meet at time, but all interactions are handled by the third-party providers.

The main features are ease of configuration (CSV files) and templatability (with Flask).

Is my understanding correct?

I was wondering if it offered similar features to EasyChair, like participant registration, review process, notifications etc.
No matter how much budget you have, there's always something you can't do. It's pretty convenient to throw a bunch of resources at a project knowing "the other half" of the IP is gonna show up for free on a thumb drive someone drops by after leaving their job at Cisco (or whatever other company they decide to raid that month) in a hurry.

Your R&D budget becomes effectively your 15B (I don't believe that number btw) plus whatever Cisco, Broadcom etc.. spend. How convenient.
Exactly. This would be fraud on the side of the employee and Facebook shouldn't be playing the role of police.
Yes off course. It humbles me. I thought i've dealt with pretty big data, but with no need to be speedy, clearly. Thx
I'm thinking why not move to Hawaii or a beach town 1hr - 2hr north or south of Santa Monica CA?
Quality of life will improve vastly for those who can afford to do so.
I lived in Helsinki for a short period, and genuinely it's awesome.

It was too expensive to live central in Helsinki so I lived in Vantaa.
This was not a problem as the public transportation is not over-capacity and is very punctual. When I lived there though, there was only one underground "Metro" line- not sure if that changed.

Getting to Vantaa requires an overground inter-city train.

As for the experience: everything felt very "human"- like it was designed for comfort and ease. I didn't speak any Finnish (and the little I did I could not pronounce well enough to be understood) but otherwise it was truly lovely. I even lived through the Winter there and it was still quite nice.

The only Barrier to going back is that, as I said, it's rather expensive :(
Long time ago when I was chronically tired and with random sleeping patterns (going out, staying late...) I could drink strong coffee 30mins before sleep and have no problem getting to sleep. But some time later when I normalized with daily rhythm and stress I could not, I had to drink last coffee before 4pm, then a few years later before 2pm and less coffee. Now, when I am religious about getting to sleep before 11pm and am mindful about my energy levels, stress, eat well for long periods, train moderately, one coffee in the morning is more than enough to feel strong kick until the evening almost. I am thinking of even dropping that for some black/green tea. I think that so many people are chronically overstressed, undersleeped and with overworked adrenal glands, that they can’t even notice the real downside until they get into a better position for some time. And coffee in a run down body is just for keeping things bearly going.
It's not always smaller. Webp still often does better.
Probably 6^3 compared to the original 4^3, by introducing two new nucleic acids beyond A,C,G,T, and keeping the codon size fixed at 3.
I lived in Cambridge for 18 months in 1987-88. You should be very very glad of the tech companies there, because there's now a community to be a part of that isn't the university. When I was there (working for Schlumberger out on Madingley Road), there was almost nothing happening in town that wasn't university-related, and if you didn't have an inside connection, you weren't a part of it.

I have a sort-of-cousin who lives there now, and he loves it , though he did find a way into the university crowd anyway.
The performance implications of this would be huge, and I hope it remains opt in for long time.

I guess I don’t understand the uproar here... is anybody forcing people to use these apps? Anybody forcing the restaurants to pay fees to them? Is there some monopoly force at play here?

My city (Santa Monica) recently passed a 15% cap on fees delivery apps can charge, and immediately grubhub dropped Din Tai Fung from us, I assume because they’re too far away for 15% to work.

They don’t do their own delivery so to get it yesterday I had to place a to-go order and drive and pick it up myself, about an hour total round-trip with no opportunities for efficiently stacking orders. I guess I probably “saved” $40, but I would have preferred to pay it!
> Can you explain how someone is to hold the President accountable for an illegal act if it is committed in such a way where no citizen has standing to bring suit.

Impeachment. Criminal prosecution by a subsequent administration. Civil prosecution by public authority if the particular illegal act is one for which their is a public cause of action. Failing all that, retaliation by a subsequent, similarly difficult-to-punish President. (The last of which, obviously, is obviously fraught, but it's there...)
You would also need to avoid any and every other way of revealing your location.
> if FB hired you to work remotely from Montana, then you decided to move to San Francisco, would they INCREASE your pay based on COL?

If you actually transfer to an SF team then yes, most large, multi office companies would adjust your pay to the SF bracket. If course that requires that an SF team has headcount and wants you. You can't just move because you feel like it.
Nope. Only thing I use is my intentions.
> What if instead of spending an hour commuting to the therapist, you spend half an hour ritually preparing your room for therapy?

That's quite an estimate. What is much more likely, and generally true, is that the commute is 10-15 minutes and the time spent in quiet, alone, on either end of the therapy session is a boon.
This is the type of content I love stumbling across on HN :). Sounds like a worthy roadtrip.
Here's the best prior art I know of in this space: https://swtch.com/libtask/

I would not recommend taking this approach in C.
it's a process independent of the US or FAANGs. Doesn't matter if you go to Shenzhen, the UAE, Berlin or London. Wherever the global economy takes hold traditional values are pretty much torn apart because they're functionally incompatible.

Non-American Conservatives were much more aware of this than their American peers and are generally much more capitalism sceptic than conservatives across the pond. But you can full on expect that there'll be a very funny new political divide in the US as people start to realise how quickly economic modernisation erodes conservative values. It was already visible in 2016 if you listened to Bannon, say.
Maybe it makes more sense to tax land rather than income. That way we don't have to worry about where workers live at all. Whoever owns the ground pays the tax. If a worker wants to be mobile, that's fine, he indirectly pays taxes through the rent (or hotel bill) of wherever he chooses to take up residency.

Secondarily, consumption taxes are usually far easier to administer than income taxes. Identifying the "true residence" of a worker is a messy and arbitrary business. But in most cases any single good, service or product can usually be assigned a jurisdiction. The EU's been handling cross-border VAT taxes for decades with very few complications.

Economists have been telling us for centuries that Georgist land taxes and VAT taxes are far more economically efficient than income taxes. The only real advantage income tax has is that it's easier to satisfy our notions of fairness, in that rich people should pay higher rates than poor people.

That's harder to do when taxes are evaluated on a per-property or per-product basis rather than per-person. However a simple solution is probably just to create a UBI, handed out to every citizen no questions asked. Since a UBI is essentially a fixed "negative income tax", it makes the tax burden highly progressive, especially for the lowest income groups.
My current trajectory is headed for the tech side of the avalanche business, and its great. People live all over the mountains, so nobody really cares where you are, everything happens by teleconference anyway.

So I basically hope to find a small house on the Cap of the North and work from there.
So is this the salary and redlining counterpart of the BoJack episode where they finally decide how to fix the gun and drug problem in America?
How would people even contemplate changing their lives in 1919? There were no flights. No option to work remotely. No Zoom. No Amazon. No food delivery. No Netflix. No Tinder. The world was not ready. Timing is everything.
Well, in an ideal, completely efficient market for remote workers, of course the "fair" thing to do is to pay for enough salary to hire the best people in Prague or Bangalore. People can decide whether they want to live in San Francisco with that salary. Most people can't, so naturally there will be a diaspora spreading out to low-cost areas, and rent in SF will drop until the area can be "competitive" again.

But this dry description involves a ton of economic/social upheaval, which we (the society) really wouldn't like to deal with, especially right now. (Not to mention a "completely fair market" is an illusion: you can't just fire your entire team on the bay area and hire replacements from Bangalore.) So a compromise is reached, where companies try to keep people they have now at roughly the same price they're paying now, with ugly, stop-gap measures to dissuade people from getting ahead of the equation.

I'm not saying we should thank Facebook - it's behaving completely in its own interest - but people who complain that this isn't "fair" might want to answer what's their position on the logical conclusion of a "fair market" for remote workers.
I wanted to do that since I was 13. Buy a van, travel Europe and interview computer security professionals and software developers for YouTube.

For income: work on projects when I can from the Van :D

I know I wouldn't "earn" on it, heck, I wouldn't even cover my expenses, but it would be soo much fun.
Remote worker for Facebook?

I bet the companies using inventive ways to get their first users like the ones listed in the article are in the minority (but certainly make for more interesting stories to read/write about).

I launched a SaaS product recently, and after a pretty successful HN launch, I've been trying different ways of marketing.

What I learned, and this may be obvious to many, is that the boring path of getting users by gamifying SEO actually works. I firmly believe that you can get your first 1K visitors by just using the formula of writing content. You don't even have to be good at writing -- target some keywords, use good SEO hygiene, have a high enough word count, and people will at least come.

I pumped out some mediocre blog posts with clickbaity titles [1] just to test it, and I was surprised to see it work, bringing in consistent weekly traffic. A popular Chinese blogger including a one-liner about my product in his blog in February is the sole source that brings ~1-2 Chinese users (actually signed up) to my app every day 3 months later.

I'd like to try Berlin or Barcelona; as a young LGBT person I've loved these areas when I've visited. Though Barcelona certainly has better weather.

The only wrinkle is that I do like my legal weed; going to a store and buying a nicely packaged edible or a preroll is leagues above buying it off the street.
Linux power management for laptops is mostly a hardware and OEM problem. Every system has at least a few components that don't follow spec for power management, and the OEMs ship their workarounds in Windows drivers rather than in the system firmware. And none of those issues are publicly documented, so Linux developers have to reverse-engineer what PM features are actually usable under Windows on a certain system rather than trust what the hardware and firmware declare support for.
Is it possible to nest VPNs, i.e. connect to a VPN in the location of the preferred fake home, then connect to Facebook's VPN through that? I genuinely know enough about VPNs to know if this is possible or not.
> Although my wife's brother has been pushing for the entire family to move somewhere cheaper. He keeps pointing out that if we all sold our houses in California we could buy a mega-compound in Oklahoma.

I've seen first hand how the frothy Bay Area property market has caused founding families in the area to completely disperse.

My wife's family are all from San Jose and San Francisco. Been there since at least 1830 - there's even a road named after one side of the family tree.

Today, not a single member of the current generation lives there. Not a single one. It just boggles my mind that the entire clan have dispersed across the US to cheaper states.

I'd say another 20-30 years and there won't be anyone from the family left there at all.
Thanks for the handbook link.

For your second point (on UX flows), what stage in product iterations do you think those decisions should be made?

I feel those decision belong more to product management and designers, and after they are finalized, designers need to communicate them properly e.g. via design reviews of new artifacts with developers before start of development, and/or document screen flows properly.

In either case, to my original question, the interaction is not really "pairing" with developers.

Agree? Disagree?
> And the drive that really should not fail is taxed during a rebuild.

That is also true for RAID 5/6 (since all drives are stressed during a resilver of a RAID 5/6).

> RAID6 is safer: any two drives can fail. RAID 10 can sustain more drive failures, but can tolerate only 'certain' drives to fail

You should consider two-way mirrors as having the same redundancy as RAID5, but with faster resilver times (a byte-for-byte copy is faster than parity calculations -- and you should want your pool to be in a degraded state for as short a time as possible). You might survive more disk failures, but you shouldn't count on it.

If you want RAID6-like redundancy, use 3-way mirrors. But that's obviously more expensive than RAID6 (even though I would strongly argue that 3-way mirrors are far safer than RAID6).

It's a bit like California: all the parts of it I'd want to live, I can't afford, and all the parts I can afford, I don't want to live in.
Anywhere but CA. The COL here is ridiculous.
When we were still accepting applications we got 15,000 per month. I'm sure that this was so high because of all remote and that if we paid everyone SF rate that would have been even higher.
Yes, the location tracking (wether that be simply asking, or IP checks, etc) is mostly for regulatory compliance.

Salaries adjusted by region is pretty common. My employer does it. My wife's employer does it. Etc.
This is frankly hyperbole. A single checkbox in a GUI menu that is routinely accessed for managing other system-wide sandbox privileges isn't exactly obscure. It also isn't some difficult, inconvenient task. It needs to be done once.
Not op, I think what he means is the session, even when already failed once, can still be used (without error) in the next operation without being invalidated.

Without promise.all, I think it can be replicated like this:

try{
await someOp(session);
catch { }
await someOtherOp(session);

He expected what the session to be invalidated during someOtherOp.
(2) and (3) are sort of symptoms of trying to use the C runtime in what is definitely not a native C threading environment.

(1), Golang does something like this by probing on every function call and having movable stacks. Historically they used a linked list of stack pages, but gave that up in 1.4 because the performance was bad. The same does not work in C because C compilers do not expect pointers to the stack to become invalid while a stack frame is live.
In my experience there are two components at work, the character of the customer and how technical you are.

Some clients just expect free work, you can try to train them otherwise, but it will be an uphill battle.

I've also found that the more technical you are, the more they expect free work. Almost as if they assume it won't take much effort on your part so they shouldn't really have to pay for it.
The Spiegel used a similar strategy at the beginning. The founder didn't have any money to hire people, but knew that a magazine written by only one guy wouldn't be taken seriously, so he just published his own writing under different names.
They are bringing up the most obvious cases of misclassification to prove a point. There are surely also less obvious ones, meaning the total is more than 0.5%.
Not helped by the nonsensical UX. Why would a user expect changing a selection in a dropdown to start playing sound?

I know UX isn't the name of the game here, but I think that's the part that made me shit myself

The kernel does this for you, generally. You could use a segfault handler, stack probing, and a guard page to figure out when you're out of stack, but it's not clear how you grow the C stack if you're out of contiguous virtual address space.
