I'm looking to move to a new place this summer. Since it looks like I will be working from home for a significat amount of time, I am now looking for something with one more bedroom that I would have before to use as an office.

Talking to many friends and people at my job, I am definitly not the only one, so work from home has a cost for employees.
Employers are presumably paying taxes, so funding it through taxes is not letting them off the hook. Additionally, what about people who are unemployed (which is now >20% by U6 in the US) or work in jobs that don't offer healthcare? And what if you get fired? Or you want to change jobs but have a health condition which means you'll be in trouble without health insurance? Or your employer changes health insurance providers without consulting you and now your coverage or doctor has changed? These aren't hypotheticals, they're the daily reality of millions of people in the US.

I don't understand this weirdly business-centric view that folks from the US have on the topic of healthcare. Surely a more productive view is that it is the best interests of society that we keep our fellow citizens as healthy as possible? Even ignoring the ethical arguments (which should be more than enough), healthy citizens make healthy workers and reduce long-term healthcare costs caused by preventable illnesses.
The average conservative pundit supports Bernie Sanders? I hate to just fire off a gotcha, but I honestly don't understand how to interpret the idea that Joe Rogan is similar to a Fox News pundit.

Joe Rogan has voted liberal his entire life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ctTmQn8w7A
That's how I see it, but the article suggests to go all the way, eg. full abstinence on alcohol. As zambal said in the sibling comment, the definition of addiction matters a lot here.
good bye w3schools! (MDN is so much better, thanks Mozilla!)
Reddit has changed ownership structure significant since these comments were made. It is highly unlikely that Tencent would be willing to see their $300 million investment from last year diluted at all [1]. Tencent is also one of the largest companies in China, essentially a State Owned Enterprise (SOE). Such a move would clearly privilege American users, who have been on Reddit significantly longer, than it would Chinese citizens.

Keep in mind the telecom connections to add the internet to China were not made until 1994, and residential was not available even to Beijing until 1997.

Other responses say why people do listen to him; I don't listen to him because I don't like long podcasts. His are way too long for me.
>explicitly tell co-workers stuff like "brb, afk 5 min."

I guess it depends. I don't do development but none of the people I work with have any expectation that if they send me a chat message/SMS/email that I'll respond to them this very second.
But he didn't steal anything. He copied it (illegally).
If it's in a transaction, it will do the same thing it would do for any failed transaction (roll it back). DDL isn't special.

Which niche btw?
Eventually, your salary will be itemized like a long distance phone bill from 20 years ago.
Because business always end up meeting client expectation. Sometimes they do it kicking and screaming like the music industry, but now you can pay only one streaming service and have all the music. The movie industry will have the same fate in the end.
> the other part of the job is extracting requirements from people who don’t understand the problem they want to solve - even when the problem is not technological.

It gets even more fun once everyone realizes that the requirements create some fundamental conflict with some other part of the business. Team A's goals can not actually be done until Team B agrees to make modifications to their own processes and systems, or... Team A goes underground and creates the competing system and you have yet more fragmentation in the company which few then know about, and everything gets decidedly more fragile.
We don't listen to the podcast for Joe but for the guest. Joe is just the "tool" used to make those guests talk.
I have been watching his podcast for a while but I won’t follow him to Spotify. I would switch to Spotify if Spotify would create a proper Apple Watch app with LTE streaming. Unfortunately, Spotify seems intent on trying to “punish” Apple.

I think the JRE brand will be diminished but only time will tell.
So tax-free salary? I’m in
Stern had bonuses to grow the sirius audience if I remember correctly. Amazing considering Sirius had like 600k subscribers at the time!

Stern was at his height in 2001-2004 I think was peaking at 25m listeners in the mornings on terrestrial radio. Which was fucking massive. Dropped off huge on day 1 at Sirius and I don't think ever recovered most of his audience.

Interesting that audience size != what's a good deal for the broadcaster. Like music however I suspect the REAL value is in the 'back catalog'.
As MrGilbert pointed out, this case has got nothing to do with Corona.
I think Zapier is maybe the closest we'll get eliminating software developers from a project. With clearly defined requirements, like connect a to b, it's possible for a novice user to "build" software.

Anything more than very basic requirements, to your point, probably requires someone specialized to the job, like a developer or at least more technical role to gather requirements and build.

Ive also noticed that whenever tech is built specifically to remove technical complexity (PaaS, for example), it's inevitably priced in a way that over time, it's very close to or more expensive than the thing it replaced. Magic can be expensive, and sometimes prohibitively so with scale.
No I am not. I am saying that BSD world is not distro driven. You would not call Android or ChromeOS a Linux distro. The difference between BSDs is very serious, and they are not by any means distros. They are variants for sure, but not "distros".
> What they are paying him to do is bootstrap the spotify podcasting ecosystem.

Similar to what Sirius paid Howard Stern to do for them, circa 2004 (for $500 million), for their personality / talk content. Sirius needed a major anchor.

May seem over cautious, but certainly for most, a default position of over-cautions and for those that know how to play on the edge, well those would be able to compile their own kernel.

Given Linux in so many devices and so many blackbox left alone systems, not a bad default position to be taking - planning for the worst, expect the best.
Most leftists I know consider Rogan to skew conservative. (And Biden is hardly Left, so that might not be the best yardstick.)
I think the "wide spectrum" part is really important. I'm on the far left by American standards and Rogan still has a lot of interviews that interest me even though I think he's more traditionally associated with conservative-ish or libertarian-ish views.
I won’t disagree with Joe being sort of “bro-like”, but I will disagree with him being the “model man”. I occasionally watch his show and have several friends who do, and none of us would say we aspire to be like Joe Rogan. Like many have said here, it’s simply the fact that sometimes he has good guests on (many physicists, biologists, tech people) and he actually lets them talk, which is a refreshing change from the shocking-soundbite driven news media that had been dominant for so long. Respecting this aspect of his show is completely different from viewing Joe as some sort of role model.
That model applies to livestock, not humans.
I've had non-remote jobs that were similar. A lineup forming outside my cubicle. Days when I got absolutely nothing done except address constant interruptions from others who needed help Right Now.

Only the medium has changed, not the message.
What people don't seem to realize is that an increase of popularity of Linux will lead to a tragedy of the commons situation. Desktop Linux currently is mature enough to be usable for most everyday tasks, but has a small enough market share to generally not fall prey to adware, spyware, malware, telemetry, backdoors, EEE type strategies, closed source blobs creeping into the ecosystem and so forth. As its market share increases, the more viable a target it becomes for such things.
Imagine going into a box store and taking a copy of a box.

It's not theft.
The no true leftist meme.
How is this any different from Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, or Art Bell signing distribution contracts?
Can you elaborate? Don't know the guy, but just what I read here seems mostly backed up by science - that is to say, I haven't read a lot on addiction so am definitely not an expert, but none of what I read here seems to contradict with what I think I know about it.

I'd love to do that with my kid, it would awesome.
In case of fire, I care about my dogs. The tote is water proof. It's reasonably strong and though I live in earthquake country I live in a one story structure. Six sigma's to the burglar who burgles old hard drives from a closeted tote. I've long since accepted my more moral failings in regard to best backup practices. YMMV.
Also, people forget that their favourite SaaS-du-jour probably won't be around after their "Incredible Journey" ends and there won't be a migration path, or it's going to cost too many hours to be worth it.

In France when you pay your income taxes, a part of your income is deducted as work related spending. By default it's something like 10% I think (do not take my word on this figure, I would check but I'm on a smartphone right now). But you can opt-in for real-cost and if you do so, you have to declare and give receipts for all of your work-related expanses to the tax administration, all of which would be deducted from your taxable income. Those expanses can include a part of your rent if you work from home.
Using WhatsApp groups for me is terrible since it means all my private and business stuff lands in the same app. Slack has neat features like tracking time zones and auto silencing. In WhatsApp im left with the option to completely mute. Terrible
You can sample /proc/interrupts to see.

Your employer also doesn't ask you to work from the bedroom while in the office. If your home is not equipped for office work (you live with family, have no dedicated office room, or multiple residents have to work from home at the same time) then you end up working in some pretty poor conditions. Some may be breaching the regulation regarding work safety and I'm sure this isn't part of your contract. Then there are additional costs with internet, electricity, or heating/cooling to consider.

If the situation becomes permanent some people may have to move to larger homes, upgrade some utility subscriptions, etc. But I'm afraid for most people this payout from the employer will come out of their future raises.
Here in Switzerland, we don’t have the precedent law. So, if this particular decision was made in this particular case, it doesn’t mean that it is automatically applied for everybody else.

So, the title is misleading.
> He's been indistinguishable from the average conservative pundit for some time.

He's voting for Bernie Sanders, and you think he's a "conservative pundit"? I don't think you know what you're talking about.
I would think of it more like reimbursing the employee for the cost of the space they need to pay for to work from home. So if I work from home and need to get a bigger place, and an apartment with 1 more room costs 20% more, then that 20% is directly attributable as a "work cost".
Case by case by a judge not by a ministry.
You constructed a straw man and then attacked it. There are some places where an architecture as you described makes a lot of sense and is probably the best solution. However, it does not change the reality that this type of architecture is often brittle and hard to debug because the experience needed to actually operate it is not present within the company that adopts it. Similarly the lego-block nature of these cloud components leads to further quickly glomming on of additional pieces without understanding the overall impact those pieces will have on the existing system.

I've seen it time and time again. Anecdotal of course, but we're all just shooting off anecdotes on HN anyways.
Everyone's opinion is NOT valuable. That thinking is exactly why 5G towers are being burned down. The media - Joe Rogan included - has decided that your OPINIONS carry the same weight as scientific FACT and "let the listeners decide". That'll absolutely attract viewers from all walks of life - and it's a disservice to all of them.
We discussed this here on HN Almost ten years ago with Matt Cuts who was the face of Google Search at the time.

To add to that:

- No gotcha questions. On TV, the interviewee might be on for 5 minutes and the interviewer asks a bunch of preloaded questions, especially "gotcha" questions if there's a political divide. Rogan never tries to undermine his guests.

- The conversations usually last as long as they need to. His show sometimes go over 3 hours if it's necessary. I don't ever listen for 3 hours and feel like I've wasted my time.

- Joe is clearly good at making his guests feel comfortable, which brings out a different side of people that you might not see in a traditional setting. How is anyone supposed to be uptight around a pot smoking, MMA fighting comedian who asks you if you've used DMT?
I'm moving to my wife's home city to work remotely in a couple of months (unrelated to covid). Raising kids, so support from their grandparents, a smaller city to deal with, the opportunity to own a house at some point, all make sense to us.

I've always wanted to make this move but I never cared for the nomad life.
Reddit is basically a Chinese propaganda outlet at this point. If you watch the moderation strategy of the default subs it is plainly obvious. Anything that makes the Chinese Communist Party look bad on current issues gets memory holed quickly. Occasionally Tiananmen Square memes are allowed to filter up, since these are super edgy and also ceded ground.
What happens when the employee is a homeowner then? Or not the one actually paying rent (maybe their parent/child is)?
I think that is more a quantification of the unmet need mainstream media creates by not discussing topics like DMT and the simulation hypothesis. The long form of content enables conversations even about the most fringe topics.

The Overton window doesn't magically shifts when millions of people are serviced by a 3th party outside the Overton window.
A lot of people mistakenly thing that Joe is not very smart because he asks "dumb questions". I think it's the exact opposite, he leads his guests with well chosen questions that he probably already knows the answer to, but the guest can surely elaborate on from deep experience.

When I see mainstream media interview people that are expert in topics I'm well versed in, the questions are cringe worthy at best.

For comparison with someone trying to create a similar show, Lex Fridman regularly asks some stupid, stupid questions. He's clearly approaching his guests from his own personal perspective, and not letting the individual perspective of their guests be front and centre.
Should I be forced by the courts to pay for the tools of my plumber in addition to the agreed wage?

But the plumber is not your employee. He is somebody else's employee, and that somebody should be paying for his work van and tools (that somebody could be himself, if he's independent).

Anyways, it's all a bit of a moot point. Labor is a market and the prices are what they are. Most employees will earn X. If an employer has to pay for WFH (or transit), the employee will just earn Y+expenses, where the sum equals X.

In a perfect world, there would be few or zero entanglements between my wages and expenses/benefits. And I could negotiate freely on just my wages (not wages, expenses, benefits, etc).
I find that Joe Rogan can be sometimes hit or miss, but for the most part, he has some interesting guests, the conversation with his guests are "natural" and does not seems forced, and I find that he knows how to ask good questions
Using alcohol as an example, any modern definition will differentiate between harmful drinking, high risk drinking, and alcohol dependence. Definitions of dependence will include statements like:

> Someone who is alcohol-dependent may persist in drinking, despite harmful consequences. They will also give alcohol a higher priority than other activities and obligations.

It's this element of continuing to do something even though it's causing harm that is one of the markers of addiction.
The thing I always think about Joe Rogan and his podcast is that there will always be a huge audience for a talkative meathead, but Joe is about the best possible version of a popular meathead we could ask for.
I'm a "leftist" and I consider Rogan progressive, just like anyone else who chooses to vote for Bernie Sanders.

Maybe time to redo the ring model with multi core cpu's now the norm.

Why one or two CPU cores couldn't be dedicated to the OS aspect and locked out of user-space of any form, certainly would be something worth exploring.
These survey sites tend to miss large numbers of FreeBSD machines in use in corporate environs. Eg, Netflix Openconnect CDN and similar.
Well, for example, it'd be nice if people were allowed to say "make America great again". It seems like a serious problem if such a vague, generic statement is interpreted as a coded message about Mexicans.
I think a closer analogy would be 'so I made that chocolate bar by hand using a leaked trade-secret recipe I found on the internet, and even drew the chocolate company's copyrighted logo on the wrapper I made!'

For sugar yes, that's well known (but when you eat fruit you are eating again just flavored sugar with fiber), but oil? The most distinct one for me is quality extra virgin olive oil and that's healthy as hell. And even that adds just a very mild flavor to ie salads.
I think it's difficult to say how many merchants went from hosting their own e-commerce site that engineers built for them from scratch, and transitioned to Etsy, Ebay, etc., laying off the developers they hired in the process. Without numbers to back myself up, I would say that there are certainly many more developers and engineers working on E-Commerce today than ten or twenty years ago. Services like Stripe certainly help businesses focus less on setting up common parts of a website or online business, but that just leaves people more time to focus on the "business logic" that is unique to them.

The "current stack" may certainly be ripe for disruption. But I'd predict that rather than put developers out of work, it will simply bring even more businesses into the fold who may not have had the resources for developing their own solutions beforehand. There will always be companies with the resources to demand custom solutions to fit their particular business needs.
What’s not sad about mediocrity being held up as a model? Someone once asked “Is Joe the smartest dumb person or the dumbest smart person?” That question captures him so well.

I thought “keep religion and politics out of the workplace” was advice that had been in place for a while? Not sure that staying away from sensitive political discussion while at work is a modern trend.
I run both Manjaro on my laptop and PopOS on my workstation, and highly recommend both as great options to someone coming from MacOS like I did. PopOS on System76 hardware is very much like MacOS on Apple hardware in that things just work and you can get three years of great tech support. I've run Pop on other machines and it just works well. Manjaro is a blast because you always have the latest software and the installation is easy. While Ubuntu is perhaps an easy default, I can't really recommend 20.04 with the same enthusiasm as Pop 20.04 or the latest Manjaro release, as I have seen a lot of folks have problems. Try out PopOS - you really won't be disappointed, and will probably be delighted like I was.
Perhaps. Something happened between those first-generation web sites where you were writing SQL by hand -- so you could just as easily be writing (injection-attack-prone) queries that made use of stored procedures etc -- and today.

A big reason I called out RoR is that back in '04-05 I was railing against its default use of plural table names, and DHH on IRC recommended I shut up and just flip the configuration switch and turn off the feature, but of course when I did that all sorts of latent bugs were exposed.

RoR was the beginning of hipster "coding" and I therefore blame it for everything.

I'm wasn't previously familiar with the FriendFeed approach to database (ab)use. I paid about as much attention to it as I did to MySpace back in the day -- nearly zilch -- so its etc innards are doubly obscure to me.
Oh you got me! What a fine technically correct and utterly useless distinction you've made that only the techno-elite of HN accept as a valid defense.

Even if he was authorized to make the copy he would have still needed to pay to use the copy.

He's not authorized to make or use the copy.
I've done this too, because passing a mockable time everywhere would just clutter the code, and this is an instance where a package-level global isn't going to bite you in the ass -- in prod anyway (in tests you might get your wires crossed, but seen another way, a global ensures all parts of your program think it's the same time).

Difference in mine is that dates.SetNowSource returns a reset function that you can defer, like with context.WithCancel().
This sounds like the sort of property inflation scam I'd expect from the UK. Hopefully the Swiss have thought it through carefully - they do usually seem to.
