Horses are great animals and people love working with them. They have social ordering and it's fun to talk to people who really know them. You don't even pick up the social cues and they translate "horse did X, Y, Z". Or take coal mining. It's unbelievable how tightly a group of men holds together if they've been underground for years. Mechanization and automation has removed many of the horse and coal miner jobs regardless.

We still have horses today. We still have coal miners. We'll still have human models. There'll just be less of them.

No one is drinking any KoolAid. I care about the fact that I don't have to go through the cognitive load of figuring out every meal. This is a benefit I personally experience and so I factor it in my analysis. I don't care how my employer reports it in their taxes or balance sheet.

Also, cash is king but companies can offer benefits at scale that will be much harder to access for me as an individual.
You can have whatever timezone you want if you store/transmit things as UTC. The final client device javascript should be the point at which the conversion to local time occurs, because the browser is best aware of the correct timezone.

Everything on the server is just done in terms of UTC. I actually cannot think of a reason I would want to process a timestamp in terms of local time on the server.
They'd be stupid to accept it. Don't work at a place with a bad culture for the money. Unless it's life changing money for a very short duration, it's unlikely to be worth it. Value your quality of life.
> Moving to their own ARM chips lets them gain tighter control over the platform, and not be beholden to Intel or AMDs roadmap or desire to implement specific features Apple wants.

You are talking strategy, I am talking tactics.

Long term, Apple will benefit hugely by having their own silicon for exactly the reasons you suggest.

Short term, being competitive on performance is massively important. Arguably, the most important thing to make the transition successful. So much so that I doubt this transition would even be happening if they weren't confident about out-performing Intel in the near term.
In the UK, copyright law does not allow your Holme bought vhs/dvd/etc to be used for public viewing in places like oil rigs and schools, nor lending for money. I don’t recall about lending for free.

How did we get to this cargo cult where sitting on our behinds taking photos of the stars and un-ironically posting on the internet supersedes mastering space.

It's mostly the media, who care's not for science at all pushing this 'we should be outraged', but we eat it up.

Starlink and others helping the world will also create a whole new genre for ground based space photography the super rich can get into, but this drama is so tiring.
U.S. and Japan Seeking to Break China’s Grip on Rare Earths Production
It's true that the people arguing against the President's statements aren't necessarily arguing from a principled stance, but that's true of any group that uses the levers of regulation. The Terms of Service, to a company, is sort of like laws to a state. Laws are important because they are instruments that can be used by everyone, and the government in theory ought to consistently apply them.

Take anti-discrimination laws, for example: they were passed in the 60's to combat what was then rampant discrimination against Black Americans by private establishments, however because the rules are generally pretty unambiguous, they can be used today by white people if they are being institutionally discriminated against, for whatever reason. But the group of people that would have utilized the levers of that law to combat discrimination against Black Americans will mostly not be the same group of people that might use the same law to combat any discrimination that might occur against white Americans — Black Americans might even accept discrimination against white Americans and vice versa (we see this happen today). To the law, it doesn't matter — Black Americans can utilize it for their own ends, and so too can white Americans — and as a result we ideally have NO discrimination against ANYONE. It doesn't matter what each group's motivations are.

That's how Terms of Services should (ideally) work, also. Just because the reality today is that one group is using the ToS and working backwards to justify some conclusion, the same levers exist for all other possible groups, and we hopefully reach an equilibrium where the Terms of Services are consistently applied. Unfortunately that appears to be blind idealism because — as we are seeing — companies don't necessarily apply their ToS consistently.
Semantics, but I view “support” as an active measure.

There are loads of issues folks are just not engaged with enough to have a qualified opinion (their perspective not mine), which is fine. I view that as living in the status quo but not necessarily evidence of endorsing the status quo.

For instance, do we really expect your average citizen (American in this case) to have a thought out POV on qualified immunity? Policing tactics? Effective tactics to address diversity in the workplace? Herd immunity? Actuarial risk assessment of economic activity during the pandemic? If not are they supporting the status quo?

I think most people just shrug and I don’t blame them. Processing information in the era of the death of expertise has made even having an opinion right now an absolute hellscape.

Have you seen spikes in your business due to Covid?
One of my companies works with and speaks with a lot of podcasters (PitchPodcasts.com) and many have noticed a big spike in listeners due to COVID. Have any of you noticed spikes in your podcasts/businesses/side projects due to COVID?
That's not exactly what the study says.

The study claimed that people spend a lot of time doing "work about work", dealing with apps, and so on: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191017005053/en/Asa...

The time spent on distractions and procrastination was around 1 hour per day:

> On average, the research shows that knowledge workers waste one hour and four minutes each day due to distractions and procrastination

So to be clear, people were working for more like 80% of their day, but not 100% of that time was considered core work or productive meetings.

People don't simply socialize and mess around on the internet for 50% of their work days at most companies. I've been at companies where people get away with that level of messing around, but I wouldn't say it's the norm.

Is there any reputable reporting, or even just wild gossip, about why Intel is behind?

The cynical answer is “they were focused on profit margins and didn’t invest in process”, but is it possible they bet hard on some technology that didn’t pan out? Ultraviolet lithography? Some exotic indium gallium arsenide magic that didn’t work in mass production?
but more closer to 50% since literally half of the people don’t openly espouse verbatim party line beliefs and dont want people to know, while a much greater percent of the subset that bothers/is enfranchised to vote sticks with one party

Reinforcing an assumption, useful for pandering, while with this information another approach could be possible
Closing the office has increased our productivity, and for those of us who are not too socially isolated in our private lives, it hasn't cost us much.

We closed very early (early February) since most of the company came in by regional mass transit and I had been tracking this thing outside of the (confused) mainstream media bubble, saw it becoming a very big deal.
If home based staff cost 10% less due to not having to pay building overhead, and your competition takes full advantage of that savings and you don't - that 10% cost savings might just be enough for them to win in the long haul.

George Boole - who helped start all this with his Boolean Logic had an extraordinary family.

...

But George Boole had another daughter called Ethel. She had an amazing life - which showed that there is another way. Because Ethel believed in the future.

...

Then Reilly deserted her - and went off to Russia where he worked as a secret agent for the British. Ian Fleming is said to have used Reilly as the model for James Bond.

Ethel was heartbroken - and she wrote a novel called The Gadfly which, although she never admitted it, her biographer says is obviously based on the early adventures of Sydney Reilly.

It's the most amazing book. It's an over the top melodrama set in Italy about the hero, Arthur's battle against the church and the corrupt state - and his treacherous family. At the same time it is about his passionate love for an english girl - Gemma. It ends with Arthur being slowly tortured and then condemned to be shot.

Its message though is a revolutionary one. Arthur is sacrificed so that humankind can be redeemed and open the way to a realisation of the future possibilities for the world - once the old oppressive forces have been overthrown.

The Gadfly was published in 1897 in New York - under Ethel's married name, E.L. Voynich. No British publisher would touch it because of its "outrageous and horrible character". But then it was published in Russia and became an astonishing success. One writer describes how all the young Bolsheviks read it and "it virtually became the bible of the revolution".

By the 1960s it was estimated that 250 million Russian teenagers had read the Gadfly in translation. And polls showed that Arthur was consistently the favourite hero of Soviet youth. And in 1955 a film version was made - with a soundtrack by Shostakovich - which won an award at the Cannes film festival.

In 1920 Ethel went back to her husband Wilfred Voynich. He had moved to New York and had become one of the world's greatest expert and dealers in rare books.

His most famous purchase was a mysterious manuscript written in code that has come to be known as The Voynich Manuscript. No one has ever been able to break the code - it seems to have many scientific references, and herbal and astronomical illustrations.

They only did controlled digital lending before (and after) they pulled the National Emergency Library stunt that got them sued.

Here's the link to their FAQ:

https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360042654251-Nati...

To quote:

Is this controlled digital lending?

No. It is close to controlled digital lending but is significantly different while waitlists are suspended. This library is being mobilized in response to a global pandemic and US national emergency. It shares aspects of controlled digital lending by controlling the physical book that was scanned and the redistribution of files through digital rights management software, but differs by having no waitlists for users borrowing books. Once the US national emergency is over and waitlists are back to their normal capacity, the service will return to full controlled digital lending.
Here's The Atlantic article I was talking about, "How Manhattan Became a Rich Ghost Town" http://archive.is/PWOC2

And a NYTimes article similarly, "The Empty Storefronts of New York" https://archive.is/JnhDS

Basically rents are too high, so businesses won't rent because it won't be profitable. In 2018 when the NYT article was written, "about 20 percent of all retail space in Manhattan is currently vacant, compared with roughly 7 percent in 2016."

So maybe this is bimodal: you have "rich" areas like Manhattan and SF and Seattle, where rents stay high even with low occupancy (landlords sitting on empty properties and enjoying the free ride of increasing asset prices), and you have "poor" cities like Detroit, where no one wants it and you can't even give it away ("free" property still comes with liabilities like taxes and maintenance).

No, that is not true. But it is understandable that you would think that. IAs statement seems written to obscure exactly what they did.

Read this: http://blog.archive.org/national-emergency-library/

> The National Emergency Library launched on March 24, 2020, and closed on June 16, 2020.

> After June 16, books in the National Emergency Library are available to one borrower at a time using controlled digital lending.

This very strongly implies that between March 24 and June 16, they did not pracise controlled digital lending by lending each copy only once at a time.
Also some teams practice "watercooler-based development". Requirements and coding standards are passed by word-of-mouth. Being remote in an environment like that effectively means you're cut off from key knowledge required to do your job.

To be clear -- the website owner can always reply to the email they receive from our Trust & Safety team. That goes directly to our team. This individual could also do that if they had further questions for the team.

Hackernews isn't a necessary route, and quite frankly no changes need to be made to existing policies. The individual could directly reach out team via a reply to the email they received. It seems in this case the person just didn't like the reply they received. That's quite different.

I think the need for an office depends a lot on the type of work that needs to be done. If you're working in R&D or science, for example, it's really (really) hard to make much progress alone, without people bouncing ideas around, showing you how things work, whiteboards, etc.

Sure, you could do some of that on zoom, but the psychology of it is very different, and the spontaneous component of it is gone completely. It's awkward to slack someone with "hey do you want to talk about some ideas i have, using the awkward zoom annotation tool?". They'll probably say yes, but then other people who might have something interesting to contribute (or learn) will not be present. Also the feeling of interacting with people via videochat is weird, especially if you're new to the workplace.

Also, for many people it's vital to have a) a workspace that isn't your home; b) human beings around you who work on similar things; and c) a sense of community. I realize that many workplaces are toxic and don't offer any good versions of b) or c), and working remotely could be better then (though a better idea would be to find a new employer if you can). But, though many people are thriving in this new work-from-home environment, equally many or more are suffering.

Also, regarding the 4-5 hours of productivity a day: yeah! There's been a lot of studies on this, and some countries/companies have been experimenting with 4 day work-weeks or shorter workdays. There's definitely progress to be made there.

> chip speed has been fairly irrelevant for years.

When you are emulating another architecture, speed often becomes a much bigger factor.

Particularly since Apple caters to a lot of markets where performance is more important. Developers, video & audio pros, animators, photographers, and other pro users are a big part of what makes Apple's higher end systems move. Even if your CPU is idle 90% of the time, when you run a build you want it to go fast.

There's a good modern day example we could look at. Reggae music. Jamaica lacks (or did) copyright laws. Because of this, music was reused over and over again. From the 1950's onwards, kids, poor people, anyone with technical knowhow could build a soundsystem, cobbled together from spare parts, get some records and play music. Eventually, many of those people went on to form recording studios and such. Because there was no laws against it, music was widely taken and reused amongst different studios, to the point where these same songs are still being remade today. Because of this, many, many people were lifted from poverty and were able to make careers from this, to the point where reggae has become a global phenomenon, primarily outside north america, where people are still taking these songs and making new versions of them.

Over the years, because of this system, not just the original creators, but hundreds if not thousands of people have benefited, profited and bettered their lives because of music originally recorded in the 1950's and 60's by people, in many cases, long dead.

Under the north american system, the copyright owner would have made millions of dollars, and entire genres of music would.never have been created in their current form.

The value to humanity in that situation far outweighs the profit of the original creators.

> How about the number we agreed on is the number we agreed on.

This is exactly what the company is doing.

They’re paying you the number you agreed upon until they don’t want to anymore (or until they’ve fulfilled whatever contractual agreements they’ve made). You’re not guaranteed to keep getting the number you agreed upon if your work sucks or the company goes out of business.

By the same token, you’re not obligated to hold up your end of the bargain any longer than you have to based on whatever agreement was made. Want to move to a cheap city and find a new high-paying job? Go nuts.

Nobody involved in venture capital has incentive to tell the truth.

In a clear majority of cases, a startup closing its doors after two years is not considered a failure by the VC fund. The startup successfully spent the money the VC firm was contractually obligated to invest, may have employed the VC's choices of officers for a significant period (providing them income and experience), maybe purchased a great deal of tech from suppliers the VC officers are themselves invested in, and may have left valuable assets that could be snapped up at auction.

The biggest problem a VC firm has is the five billion dollars of others' money they have to "place" in only 30/60/90 days. What happens after placement is much less their problem. They know most of their placements will be duds, but they and the actual investors knew that up front. Once the money is "placed", though, much of it can be siphoned off for the benefit of the VCs' cronies or one or other non-dud. Maybe, after collapse, a non-dud or non-startup can buy up assets of a dud for pennies on the dollar, and extract something usable, like patents or equipment. Sure, the investor lost that money, but somebody got it, and somebody ended up with what the money bought. Just not, often, the founders.

None of this is good for most people who do a startup, unless they happen to be chosen as a non-dud. The chosen duds are valuable for money laundering, which few startup principals really meant to sign up to be. Although some did.
And how will they achieve that mission when someone makes the following edit:

Since when did that matter in patent law? Patents are public domain, and ignorance of a patent is not a defense against having infringed. Since at least 2012, the US has had a first-to-file policy instead of first-to-invent.

There's no legal reason to worry about being influenced by a patent. The only concern might be boxing your creativity where you can't think of alternative solutions to a problem once you've seen one solution. That doesn't seem like a strong enough reason for a blanket policy.

IANAL but this confuses me.
Unfortunately, in your world, the racists and white supremacists take over because the only thing anyone is allowed to do to stop them is to politely and civilly debate them, which doesn't work because hate, fear and lies can circle the world twice before the truth even has its boots on and sources organized.

I'm actually fine with such views not being made illegal though - but I'm not fine with the premise that there should never be any social consequences at all for any ideology or viewpoint regardless of its nature or intent to do harm. Nor do I believe that the right to free speech means everyone must be forced to hear, seriously consider, host or publish that speech.
