Sure, that's why I said "Plan for the worst, hope for the best". It's always possible, even if mtg with an ethical company, the junior person you're meeting with that day could be a new-hire who's an idiot and tries to get actionable information.

NDAs aren't deterrents. At the same time, any secret that can be casually conveyed in a mtg, typically isn't all that valuable. If you have a strategic investor as an outside board member, a smart founder will ensure nothing disclosed in a board mtg or board materials is specific enough to be competitively actionable. If you do it correctly, they shouldn't gain any non-public info more specific than broad sales growth, and there are a lot of completely legal ways for interested Big Co competitors to get good intel on sales growth which are much cheaper and easier than investing.

That's why we generally passed on even evaluating most startup investments. They just weren't worth the time to manage plus if we really planned to be active in that space the legal exposure would require a formal "Chinese Wall" between our investment and our business unit, usually managed and audited by an outside law firm. If we were truly interested in the space, I'd always argue we should just acquire the startup now, buy one of their competitors or tilt up our own 'build it' version.
When it first rolled out the office install actually adds a teams installer rather than teams itself (and no choice to avoid it). So then teams would reinstall with every restart after being uninstalled and pop up front and center asking you to sign in every time windows started.

You then needed to sign in before it would give you the option not to start with windows or to only start in the background.

Obviously you could avoid this by uninstalling teams and ALSO it's auto installer. I'll add the caveat this may have only been the behaviour for those with skype for businesses installed or those in NZ(I've heard NZ is occasionally used as an early roll out/testing zone for some microsoft products) rather than more generally.
I don't have to work in an office, but I do. My consulting company owns commercial space in Sunnyvale and Tel Aviv. I like separating home and work. I work at work, and do non-work activities at home.

I worry that this trend is simply to squeeze employees harder. Now employees have to pay for their own workspaces, desks, chairs, etc.
Flipped on its head, I would say Starlink, or at least the underlying technology that makes it feasible (and it's all related, since it's all SpaceX) may be good for astronomy... eventually.

Space based telescopes give a much clearer picture than land based ones. You can't have ubiquitous and/or (relatively) cheap space based telescopes without a thriving launch industry that reduces costs. You can't have that without innovation and competition in the space launch industry. You are unlikely to innovation or competition in that industry the without a market need. Starlink is the market need right now.

Want lots of space telescopes to give you even better pictures? Don't kill off what's going to take you there before it begins. The astronomy industry needs to work with SpaceX to minimize the problem while also encouraging them (and anyone else working to drop costs to launch something into orbit) to succeed, not killing off or greatly delaying the oncoming age of ubiquitous and easy access to space telescopes because they are short sighted.
What similarities do you see between EARN IT and IPA?
The owners of traditional office buildings who will see the most success in this crisis will be those who realize that --while, yes, corporations may no longer need as large a footprint-- there's still valuable use of the capital infrastructure they hold. The first ones to pivot to alternate property uses will do best.

Another set of commercial property owners will sit on their above-market lease agreements and try and squeeze blood from a stone.
ARM should just go public and IPO. Why do companies rely on acquisitions so much? Let the public buy into these successful tech companies instead of having the gains accrue to already rich tech companies or private equity funds.
AZ?
It's not the 'everybody works there' that does it, it's the 'cheap enough that artists can live there' that does it. My mom split her time between art, her true love, and working as a secretary, or a maid, or an office manager. She had a way of living near where the art was happening, as artists tend to have very little money, as did she. She could afford to live just off the Lincoln Road Mall in South Beach in the mid-80's, as did hundreds of other artists. The South Beach that is now luxurious and pricey was once cheap, and shabby and a bit dangerous. That's really the seed of a vibrant inner city atmosphere. She repeated that (to smaller degrees) several times in her life.
The problem is BMC has an astounding array of features[1] that are worth the operational complexity. This isn't just KVM like in OP's post... being able to remote mount images is a godsend when you're provisioning a server or diagnosing hardware issues or doing a BIOS update on the other side of the globe (with your other alternative being shipping a flash drive[2], then paying $200/hr for DC remote hands to plug it in for you).

You don't even need to contact trace if everyone gets tested every day.[1]

The most promising plan I've heard along these lines is detailed in a recent episode of This Week in Virology.[2]

This is possible, practical, and affordable.

The technology for fast pregnancy-test style tests for COVID-19 exists right now, and they could cost as little as $1 per test.

The reason these tests aren't being used yet is because of the FDA's misguided requirements for extremely high sensitivity for COVID-19 tests. If these requirements could be relaxed to allow lower-sensitivity tests, then these tests could go out on the market... or, better yet, the government could take over and ensure everyone gets tested with these tests every day for $1 a test.

Even a more limited plan of testing everyone in just highly affected areas would be way better than what we've got now.

[1] - People could, for instance, get tested each morning, and be required to present their daily test results upon arriving at work (or even online, from home, before they start their commute). If they test positive, they just stay home for a couple of weeks and then go back to work when they test negative again. People at work will have confidence all their colleagues (and virtually everyone else out and about) have tested negative.

The amendment, even assuming it ends up in the final bill, only limits one specific type of damage that doing this could cause. The bill as a whole is still malicious garbage with no redeeming value.

It's like having a bill giving the FBI regulatory authority over the public school curriculum and then people say that's a terrible idea because they could e.g. prohibit sex education. So then they modify the bill to carve that out in particular. But that was just one specific example. The overall premise of the bill is still inherently damage even if you take out one specific bad thing people were using as an example.
Perhaps this listing service would get more goodwill from users and business if they were to pay sellers a commission when a listed item sells. Google's extractive (no, it's actually not 'free') business model has become quite tiresome, and they seem to have wasted their first-mover advantage over the past decade.
Marc Andreesen wrote about this same idea on his blog in back in 2007.

It was written just as well as this piece and given his success pioneering web browsers and building 3 separate billion dollar businesses in tech, it should be a good fit for HN: https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_career_planning_part2.html
I’ve been working at a fully distributed company for 3 years and I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that none of my 700+ coworkers will ever use something like this. You may find some traction now with companies abruptly transitioning to remote work and not having a clue how to get work done without being in an office, but long term, I’m a sceptic.

I can tell you, however, that I would absolutely consider using this at home: my wife spends at least 3 hours a day on video calls with her family back home and it took some time to get her elderly parents accustomed to Smartphones, messenger/whatsapp, etc. they’ll start a video call on messenger and just keep it on for hours while doing their shores or whatever. An always on device, especially if you add in remote management, would be useful.
Another use case is kids. Right now most schools are doing distance learning and loosing the social aspect is certainly going to hurt. This could allow them to stay connected while doing homework, craft, or even playing video games without having to start meetings.

I think this is a good idea, my only advise would be to try other growth channels besides startups.
Could anyone have honestly foreseen the pandemic and its ensuing upheavals?

Of course, one is free to regret.

Now, it would seem that the best we can do is make the most of the information available to us in the present moment.
They may be betting that a switchover to TSMC would take as long or longer as doing it themselves. As well there's hubris, sunken costs, and Uncle Sam taking a vested interest in semiconductor manufacturing to take into account.
With a disease that has such uncertainty over its spread, its long term effects, and its recovery, I think it's silly to be certain about what will restore trust and how this will play out.

to your suggestion, what is a contact tracing result look like? anonymized -> 53 persons tested positive today who had near contact with 204 persons? how does that restore trust? I can't imagine you meant non anonymized.
Most interesting to me is how common this is across demographic groups.

>Self‐ censorship is widespread across demographic groups as well. Nearly two‐ thirds of Latino Americans (65%) and White Americans (64%) and nearly half of African Americans (49%) have political views they are afraid to share. Majorities of men (65%) and women (59%), people with incomes over $100,000 (60%) and people with incomes less than $20,000 (58%), people under 35 (55%) and over 65 (66%), religious (71%) and non‐ religious (56%) all agree that the political climate prevents them from expressing their true beliefs.
A coworker of mine recently pointed out that not only are businesses saving money by closing offices, they're also offloading other costs to the employees. Things like:

- Water, electricity, HVAC, sanitation

- Desks, chairs, ergonomic equipment, safety equipment

- Telecom, networking support

- Physical security

- Office supplies

- Misc. amenities like coffee and snacks

Some companies are taking this into account, but not all.

A personal anecdote: we had an all-hands meeting today and the amount of emotion on display when the topic turned to returning to the office strongly suggests people want to go back. Whether or not that's temporary nostalgia for a previous life or an enduring need is an interesting discussion, but there are definitely people wanting to go back. I for one am even more in the no-remote-only-gigs camp given recent events.

edit: formatting, I'll learn eventually
Yes, I get it. Those are not nice people. Few of us would want to be friends with them. Or even work in the same building. So have them work from home, or for a standalone subcontractor.

I also get the downside of employing them. But people need to look at that stuff, even if software does most of the work. So it might as well be people who can tolerate it, and perhaps even enjoy it.
It's a common fallacy that rents fall when demand drops. In fact, they often don't, particularly for commercial space; the owners choose instead to let the spaces go unused. I've seen this happen up close with several buildings my city, in several neighborhoods. There was an article a while ago about how Greenwich Village suffered a similar fate.
Marc Andreessen on Skills and Education (2007)
There's no shortage of cities where central space has become cheaper after their industry has collapsed, and they do not have a great record of turning vibrant. The rust belt and the north of England are the first areas to mind.
Looks like a biter

SlateStarCodex an ironic reference in this context, nice to see it back up.
Brendan Eich was ousted at Mozilla (after considerable pressure) for donating to a congressional candidate and an associated proposition. And I think you'll find plenty of people here who support that ousting given that the proposition was in support of banning same-sex marriage.

Presumably there is some line that many of us would agree you can't cross but opinions will differ on where and what the line is.
Companies think that remote work works but they fail to realize that most of what happened over the past few months was based on prior momentum built inside the office they are carelessly ditching.
Is that still true? For most products Amazon search seems much improved to me, it used to be quite poor. Plus on mobile people may be biased to search via the app.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
This reminds me of a quote:

And being silent is not even an option, because now "silence is violence".
Will this trend revive the fortune of WeWork? We can have a future where teams within a company decide on “core days” where everyone is in the office but WFH the rest of the week and the company can pay for a variable number of office spaces depending on the week day. WeWork can become the cloud but for office spaces.
On America: Still Ambition Central, Still the Land of Extremes
> already dominated by a company (Amazon) with a 50% larger market cap?

I wouldn't if Amazon was doing a good job. Between the astroturf reviews, fake products and fictional shipping times Amazon leaves a lot to be desired.

But I do agree Google won't be the solution. Google is too hidebound and suspect now to solve this one.

I think the future is in independent online retailers. The good ones will thrive and the rest will vanish, and they aren't going to suffer the FAANGs any more than necessary.
Weren't they all acquisitions?

Trust will be restored when the data concerning death rates will be truthfully collected reported. The real numbers are so low that in my eyes there’s no for contact-tracing but a truthful management and interpretation of death rates, which are, again, very low.

One thing that has slowly eroded American ideals (IMO) is the politicization of literally everything. Not only can you not have or share a "bad" thought on politics itself...but something completely unrelated to politics (that is now politicized) is also something you could be burned at the stake for. Then there are just people that share their politics openly and often to spite others.

We've essentially split into two Americas, one red and one blue. The people in the middle (which I generally identify with) are left in the cold...and not only are left in the cold but are attacked by both sides for not abiding by the doctrine. Honestly, the Left is the worst at this. They will actively try to ruin your life over wrongthink. I am much more likely to share a controversial opinion with someone on the Right than on the Left. But it's both sides, a local race here has a Republican attacking another Republican...for endorsing Romney in 2012. It's like I'm living in a bizarro world.

Horseshoe theory is real.

Good to hear. I didn't want to price it too steep and compete with Handsontable and ag-grid. They are wonderful products, but if you need a highly customisable, performance driven spreadsheet, which is declarative, I would highly suggest trying our product.

One could ague that vertical integration has been their strength up until recently. I don't think it suddenly becomes a bad idea just because they dropped the ball recently.
This is a pretty simple thing to achieve electrically, just plug something instead of the power button inside the computer. You likely just need one mosfet. If soldering is too uncomfortable, you can find relays to control the main power supply (requires screwing a power supply cable and a couple dupont connectors).

If you don't want to touch anything related to electronics, you could rely on enabling a watchdog on boot-up. Or control if from a smart power supply (you likely have a UPS plugged in, for instance). Use the power after power loss BIOS feature, or WoL to wake it up.
Awesome Glad you liked it.

He did a community drive in 2009/2010 or so and a lot of us pitched in a little. Then he joined forces with Relevance to create Cognitect and that has funded his Clojure development since. Hopefully he gets a nice payday from this acquisition too.
What "sharing" though? Not discussing at work? I don't talk about anything non-business other than "appropriate business small-talk" with people I only know professionally. It's common courtesy.
In a trip to south africa, entire sections of some cities were being "bought" by China. In retaliation, locals occasionally refuse to sell fuel to Chinese fishing vessels, which, like those in TFA, were there illegally.

The immediate issue would be the Pi Zero W only has one usable (micro)USB port, the other port is Power In only. If you run it for OTG, you can't use it for the dongle.

There would be ways around this though, perhaps using a cheap microcontroller for the USB HID stuff.
We gave up attempting to actually find workable compromise solutions to problems. Instead we just polarize and scream.
I think it depends where you live and your situation. I have coworkers in small NYC studios who just want to get outside. I have others who don't mind not taking the train for an hour a day.

Many coworkers have a nice big house to work from. The ones with kids most want to come back, because they appreciate the mental separation they get.

> A coworker of mine recently pointed out that not only are businesses saving money by closing offices, they're

I hadn't considered this. I've always thought that many companies are tied to long leases they wouldn't be able to get out of that quickly. I can imagine some savings on the other associated office costs.

> I for one am even more in the no-remote-only-gigs camp given recent events.

Interesting...could you please elaborate on this?
It's not yet known if it's only "almost". If it is indeed optimal, then "almost" would be wrong (from a big-oh perspective).
It depends on your use case. An obvious one is that gnuplot doesn’t require a web browser and a JavaScript VM, but I acknowledge this is irrelevant to some people.

gnuplot integrates seamlessly with a shell, so you can do all of your data transformation in awk/sed, and pipe the results into gnuplot. For d3, you’d need to load the data file, plot it, and then face the temptation of tweaking in JS vs tweaking the source data.

The first iteration of “I have a csv file” to “I have an interpretable graph” is very quick with gnuplot, which helps with prototyping and identifying systematic features of the data. You can squeeze d3 to get this, but you’d need to whip out a lot of boilerplate to get there. There are a bunch of frameworks built on d3 that promise this sort of experience, but if you want to end up with fine-grained control of the viz, you’ll need to drop down into d3 eventually.

You don’t have to know anything about HTML, the DOM or CSS to make a decent graph in gnuplot. Of course, if you’re skilled at these, you can make very nice interactive graphs in d3. Tangentially, I had a viz professor who would give any one who used interactivity to encode a dimension of information an immediate bias of -20%, because interactivity is more often a limiting element rather than a feature. :)

That being said if I wanted to build something productively interactive, I’d still reach for d3 over gnuplot.

Curious to hear others thoughts on your question, too!
> but what did they expect would happen when they dropped their entire legal justification?

Specifically what legal justification to you think they dropped that they followed previously?
Hubble costs are estimated around $10 billion USD in 2010[1].

The cost to put the thing into orbit is minuscule compared to the equipment and operation itself.

Put another way - SpaceX isn't solving any problems here.

That's wrong. There was a study [1] on this exactly that found that most people (in the US I think) who search products start with Amazon and not Google. In one of the recent Amazon earning reports, they reported $10B advertisement revenue, which is another indication that direct product search on Amazon is huge.

It's troublesome, but I find it relatable if you boil things down to strong ideologies and hyperbole which is a lot of the problem with our current state of political discourse.

For example, it might be your stance that all Trump supporters are racist. Would I hire someone who was openly racist? Absolutely not.

Is the reality that all Trump supporters are racists? No, probably not.

A counter-example, you believe that abortion is murder. Would you hire someone who supports murder? absolutely not.

Is abortion murder? Not definitively. It depends on your personal outlook.

Hiring/firing is just not an objective process anywhere, and you're going to be subject to the personal biases of the boss... and we're in particularly biased times. On the bright side, I suspect historical numbers would be worse... and at least it's not a civil war.
OP/TFA implied that it was indeed Chinese, by encroaching on territorial waters and crowding out native fleets. At least that was my reading of the article and the above comment.
