Salaries are what the market will bear (on both sides). If more companies are remote then first class remote engineers will be able to get more offers when they're on the market and thus will be able to command higher comp.

Separately, if you're undifferentiated then of course anyone will be able to do your job if you're colocated with headquarters or not. The trick to selling your time for more money is to differentiate yourself in a way that creates more value for the company hiring you. Your career is a business that rewards a continuous growth and sales process.

Political and moral aspects aside - the sooner we can start reasonably and effectively counteracting this stuff (if only on an individual basis, to start) - the better.

It really is. I was shown this text in high school and it's the thing that got Calculus to click for me. I've recommended it dozens of times over the years and I've heard the same sentiment echoed nearly every time.
If someone's going after this, my killer feature would be user-driven moderation/filtering. That is, what I see should be determined by me, not some moderator or the hivemind. Almost certainly this would need an AI element to learn what I want to see. Potentially there could be a "people like you" assist to that.
“In all likelihood, they probably don’t miss humans per se," [a dolphin expert] added. "They probably miss a free meal and the routine."

I think one of the major failures of social businesses on the Internet is that their business need for massive user growth forces them to upend basics of social interaction that we have taken for granted in the real world for eons.

If you create a new subreddit, anyone can show up and participate. Good actor or bad.

Can you imagine if you threw a physical party and let every single stranger in the world literally walk in your front door, wander around their house, and do what they want? You'd be a honeypot for thieves and vandals.

On the Internet, they don't take your physical stuff, but they harm the online equivalent: your information and attention. Every popular online forum is likewise a honeypot for scammers, shady advertisers, griefers, and other malcontents. Why wouldn't it be?

The typical suggested option is massive policing, but that's really hard in a world a bad actor can don a near-perfect disguise (create a new account) in an instant.

I would love to see sites like Reddit and Twitter adopt a model closer to real-world social interactions: something like a web of trust where you need to be invited to participate in a space and where there is some level of vouching for you. But those kinds of businesses don't scale well so we almost never see them.

Another option would be to force something like real identities. The reason a bar can get away with just a couple of bouncers is because a bad actor can't as easily escape the consequences of their actions by shedding their identity. But, of course, requiring real identity gets in the way of good actors who use anonymity for good reasons (generally avoiding other bad actors).

It's a hard problem, but it makes me sad that almost every business just ends up doing "let everyone in and accept that there's going to be shitbags all over the place fucking it up for everyone".

I half agree with you. If the "grief" that Facebook is giving you is from you not liking the posts you're seeing, then yeah, unfriend some people and move on.

Censoring private chats (among plenty of other sketch practices) is something entirely different though. I never foresee myself wanting to send "joebiden.info" to a friend on Messenger, but the fact that Facebook has decided I'm not allowed to seems problematic.
In a way Steam also did that with insanely good sales for several years, so much so that it achieved meme status.

I would prefer the option to buy via Steam, but Epic's PC exclusive game has been on point.
The non violence movement in India against Imperial Britain? You can argue the particularity of every historical event but to me striking is one of the immediately reachable weapon against CCP that is not employed. With the same logic we can say protesting is not effective against CCP yet ppl still do it?
Photons lack mass. They don't meet the definition of matter.
Allegedly, though. If protest didn't matter at all, it wouldn't be merely alleged; the CCP would just publicly say "yeah we shot him and we'll shoot you next if you bug us about it".

> the UK in Northern Ireland had a reputation to maintain

Evidently not much of a reputation. In this conflict alone, the British state (army and police) shot and killed unarmed protesters, supported paramilitary groups in extrajudicial assassinations (including an attempt on a sitting British politician), indefinitely interned people with no evidence, looked the other way from attacks they could stop (and at least on one occasion even explicitly chose a random civilian to kill instead) if it would protect a source, pursued a strategy for a while of force-feeding certain dissidents, and even made it a crime to display certain flags.
So you don’t want remote first to become popular because you’re not capable of making decisions and want the company to make them for you?
Because America is a Democracy. Non violent protests changed people's minds and those people ultimately decide the laws. Won't work in China. China is totalitarian. The government gets what it wants regardless of public opinion. And it will squash any opinion it doesn't like before it spreads.
While I agree most in Hong Kong would probably prefer to move to other large cities like Vancouver or Sydney, it's not due to language. Having lived in both for many years, most folks in Hong Kong wouldn't have any language trouble in Taiwan, at least not up north towards Taipei.
Bad faith arguments all around. There's a clear difference between isolated events and those that possess the ability for exponential community spread. I'm not inclined to debate it further.
In Massachusetts, "there were 28 deaths on the state's roadways in April — compared to 27 at the same time last year" despite traffic being 50% lower. The article says 1/3 of the deaths were on interstate highways but doesn't say if the proportion of deaths on highways vs. local roads was abnormal or not.

I don't suppose you have any pointers on how to make that a reality in Ubuntu/Debian? I too would be very interested in being able to configure whitelist only network connections.
How does that get the devs any of their money back?
> Based on the quality of today's conversation here on HN, I'm not inclined to fault them for taking that approach publicly.

Oh yeah sure, Microsoft is the victim, cyberbullied by their own users. It's a classic case of innocent naive corporations getting senselessly dogpiled by mean common people, clearly that's the way this power dynamic is arranged. Yeah, fucking right.
Having been a moderator of a large, 60k-ish person subreddit for a couple years, I can assure you that that's not the case: removing spam and other obvious rule breaking (sending users death threats, racial slurs, etc) took no more than a few minutes a day. Well over 90% of my fellow moderators' time was spent exceeding their authority: harassing people they just disliked, removing posts for personal biases, and so on.

It's a job that attracts that sort of person, people who just want things to function smoothly will get fed up with it quickly, the only people who stay at it will be the ones who want to mold the community to their vision (whether it wants to be molded or not).
Open-Sourcing Bit: Exploring Large-Scale Pre-Training for Computer Vision
> Cars are the only practical way to go where you want, when you want, how you want.

This is more true in some areas than others. In a relatively dense city, with well-designed (and, crucially, frequent) transit systems, a whole lot of "where" and "when" you want is going to be more practical with transit, and of course cars can't help you with "how" you want if what you want is not to have to be driving. In many cities, driving my car (or renting a car, if I flew there) would have been tremendously impractical.

It's certainly convenient to have a car sometimes, and there will always be some trips for which your statement is closer to true. And if you choose to live in a place (/cough/ suburbs /cough/) where anything but cars would be impractical, then yes, cars are the only practical option. But it is far, far from the absolute that you make it out to be.

(PS I'm definitely not talking about commuter rail in the US here. Even the "good" lines are terrible by global mass transit standards. They are not "practical" except for a very tightly-constrained set of needs.)
This is the MSC you mentioned? https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/rav/proposal/r...

I love the idea of using public keys as identifiers, but to be honest the current proposal does NOT give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

First, you’re having the server generate keys for the users. This is at best a “code smell” —- even if it works for your particular security goals, it sure feels weird. Zoom recently got absolutely blasted (and rightly so) for doing something similar. Why not have the user generate their own keypair, and then the server can sign the public half, essentially giving you a cert.

Second, there’s a lot of places where you have a layer of indirection between old @user:domain id’s and the new public keys. As an attacker, I would see every one of those places as extra attack surface where I might be able to exploit some confusion.

I hope this doesn’t come off as excessively negative. Matrix is awesome and you’re all doing a great job tackling some huge problems.
Say you or a friend has an account in good standing. Get an invite link with a unique token. Sign up with the link.

Done. The inviter doesn't know the username of the invitee. It's only visible to the moderation team who invited whom.
It's not free, it's a trade for your identity.

Between meetings and misc. things that come up I had human contact all day. Lunch was the one time I could have to myself.

There were massive protests against British rule over the years too. Somehow viewing a colonial government as resembling a liberal government, seems rather incongruent to people who still have a living memory of British colonial rule across the world.

Any way the one country two systems was set to expire in 2047.

Facebook Says It Will Permanently Shift Tens of Thousands of Jobs to Remote Work
Someone at the College Board just needs to write a few lines of code to convert HEIC images to JPEG, instead of forcing thousands (if not more) students to retake the test.

On Ubuntu, you can:

sudo apt-get install libheif-examples
heif-convert infile.heif outfile.jpg

Based on the article, it sounds like the College Board did actually receive the test files from these students. The students were emailed that the files were "corrupted". So in all honesty, this is just a matter of them actually just converting the files they've received then (or using an image viewer that can handled HEIC.)
Or Linux/Proton. Can't stand Epic for this.
Yes, as is any ecosystem with competing parties. Surveillance companies want to exfiltrate as much information as possible, users want security. Every new facet added to the API is a site for this competition. Which is why every new web API needs to be reviewed by someone looking out for security of the users.
I have hit cases, especially with the O365 admin panel where things are just broken in FireFox. They didn't even bother to deny FireFox, just didn't test at all.
Well just like Open office plans became trend without anyone asking employees working in them. If permanently working from home or away from office becomes trend it will be only because people who control payments for office real estate decided that way.

Filter by skills, physical level, time to get paid, and things you have. It has some rough edges, but I'm fixing things and adding new listings every day.

Finding some of the data is difficult - many companies bury their commissions and fees and very few companies tell you what you'll earn. Most payouts take several days to reach you, but if it's your first ever payout, it may be an additional 1-2 weeks.

Yes, I know a lot of people who don't have opportunity or have some sort of mental roadblock that makes them not put efforts into area which can potentially produce result. I am not sure if there is some name of this phenomenon.

But usually they need a visionary who can make them believe in the idea and then they can put their work/efforts/mind into it with confidence and they do end up achieving the result at the end.
Developer wanting to learn UI? Here’s how a Design Starter Kit can help you
Yikes. I am the moderator of r/Metric among other medium sized reddit subs. It turns out there are people who really hate the Metric system and see it as part of a globalist conspiracy. All of the behaviour you describe is familiar, though thankfully hasn't risen to the level where police needed to be involved. Our worst offender has thankfully recently focused on Brexit and left us alone.

I totally agree that lack of response to ban-evasion has been a problem. Even Wikipedia does better than Reddit at managing user bans.

The amount of damage that bad actors can do on reddit is disappointing. It also doesn't seem to be getting any better. In the 9 years I have been modding the same problems are still present.

The poweruser situation is also frustrating. The reddit moderation system and the ranking of moderation power by seniority really encourages cabals. It has been tough to resist on some of the subs I moderate for them being taken over by power users. You invite one mod to help with spam or problem users and all of a sudden you have 5 more mods, all of who moderate dozens of subs. Slowly the power users move towards top mod position and they never bring in fresh mods, only other power users. They will also try to remove any existing top mods to entrench their control. The system is killing the democratic nature of reddit by concentrating moderation into a narrow group. Given reddits position that moderators effectively own the community it makes it very difficult to resist this kind of takeover. My advice: never invite anybody who is already modding more than 100K users in other subs to be a mod on your sub.
Yes. In vitro (petri dish), this method appears effective; and we have a solid understanding of why it works.

In practice, this does not always translate to effective treatments in actual people. Further, this type of treatment is known to have risks and side effects, so we will likely not be able to give it to everyone as a preventative measure. Further, it is not clear how early in the disease's progression one would need to take such a drug to get a significant benefit.
Yup. A long time ago I was mouthing off in a sub about gallowboob. He threw a shit fit and had the admins ban me.

The whole site is rotten, and completely opaque. They say one thing, and do another. Fresh blood is something reddit sorely needs.
Go into the options and turn on fast movement. Also remember that you can order units to move further than one turn at a time.
This is kind of odd logic though. If a well funded team of experts who care about the utility of the results would focus on a problem, you shouldn't.

What makes you think the advisor's projects were genuinely more speculative or more fundamental vs just dead ends that nobody cared about? It's not like corp labs don't fund fundamental work. Google was funding quantum computers for a long time now.
This is also a fairly bad time to try and put a measurement on how effective WFH is. The fact that schools and daycares are currently closed means that parents are having to take care of their children while also working.

It is also hard on people that are used to working in the office to be told that they now have to work from home suddenly. I'm sure a non-trivial amount of people did not have a space for themselves to be able to work and they are trying to figure things out as they go. Not to mention figuring out how to communicate properly while everyone is remote.

There is also not a one size fits all solution. People will be more productive being where they are more comfortable. That may be at home, in a coffee shop, at a library, in the office or any other number of places. People are expected to work from home right now, so a lot of those other options are out of the question.

TL;DR, don't judge work from home when everyone has to do it during a pandemic.
Take it easy. He brings up a valid point about decision fatigue and the reason why these perks became popular. It's not that people making $100,000s can't make these decisions or that they can't afford paying for lunch -- it's just an extra thing that they don't have to worry about when working in a centralized location. I think it's a weak argument for preventing remote work but it is a valid one.
Unfortunately, UI developers as a group simply don't care about the problems of the old and infirm. My dad, who's perfectly fine on a 70s phone, has to use a cellphone in his facility. It's an utter trainwreck, and a few minutes watching this really drives home how awful current UIs really are.
It's not down. These kind of posts are basically 1) not intellectually interesting and 2) generally wrong.

They are people, and they can make mistakes or miss something, like everyone else.

A clear example is an Italian virologist that called the hypothesis of thrombosis in the alveoli that came out from autopsies and the suggestion of using heparin in treatment protocols "a colossal idiocy".

Then other data, including the recent Lancet paper and the Hamburg study came out.

The mere fact one is an expert does not make him or her always right. So weigh opinions more, but don't trust them blindly.
Rendering issued aside, it's a good idea to use tables for what their designed for: displaying data. Using elements how they're specc'ed to be used makes the web a lot friendlier to screen readers and friendly neighborhood spider bots.
