And they give a shit because the UK is making serious noises about tightening up on money laundering - I mean FFS one of our own lawmakers has been implicated in taking russian cash for putting down amendments - that's basically Russian cash paying for UK laws - it's huge. And it will make it harder for Russian money to move in London.

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

I don't understand this, why?

Regarding the rest of your comment, I totally agree. My mom and sister both work for a large, old-fashioned company, and the company didn't even let them take their dual monitors home with them when WFH started. They both had to buy setups out of their own pocket, and these are not people making tech salaries.

Really the biggest cost you're leaving off is space though. It's really preferable to have a dedicated space for an office, and this is not free. It's one thing for someone who made a choice to go remote, but for people forced into it, it feels unfair to me.

It wouldn't surprise me if in the new world, offices are viewed as a perk rather than a requirement due to all this. I personally work remotely for the record, but talking to many people in my life, it's clear this is not for everyone.
There seems to be a growing consensus here on HN that Facebook's ad-based revenue model is a source issue for why extremity, polarization, toxicity, and usage addition is occurring on the platform. All of these elements drive up engagement. The more engagement you have, the more profit the company makes. It's a feedback loop that's helping the company and shareholders, but at the cost of the stability of society at large. So here's one idea to address the problem that I'd like to get other's thoughts on. What if we declare ad-based revenue streams for social media platforms a form of market failure? What if we made it the law that social networks must charge a premium, a subscription-model if you will, to use their services. "Want to use Facebook? You'll need to subscribe for $2/month". What do you think the experience of using Facebook would be like then and, to an extent, society at large? It has been my experience that services I must subscribe to do a better job of respecting my data, privacy, are less toxic, have higher quality content, and are less addicting. What I am suggesting here is that the desired behavior can be directed through proper incentives.
Nice idea! I think for people who constantly want to invest in the next big thing, this would come in handy.

As an aside, a good friend of mine warned me that investing at the beginning of an IPO generally is a bad bid. It's better to wait 1-2 years until the hype settles to fairly value a company and that is so true from my own experience with $SNAP, $UBER, $LYFT and $PINS.
Everything is political; being apolitical just means you support the status quo.
Yeah, typescript obviates so many assertions that using assertions for things that the compiler can’t catch isn’t too burdensome.
I agree. Vast populations of people can't know their place in the universe because they physically can not see it. What can we do to avoid that? In suburbs it seams feasible to stop building / start removing streetlamps in neighborhoods that don't necessarily need them, but I don't know how that would work in bigger cities
As a fellow Que user, I'm happy to see this line in the README:

> For example, GoodJob is currently ~600 lines of code, whereas Que is ~1,200 lines,

I've tried to dig into the Que internals before (looking into deadlocks) and they were gnarly; skimming through the GoodJob internals, it looks a lot more like what I'd hope for.
For a web based excel tool, Google Sheets has really good performance IMO. Other alternative is Microsoft Online Excel, which is quite slow, bloated and cough horrible.

If you have highly interactive data in cells, (eg: svg graphs), scroll performance can be improved by enabling `snap`. With this only one row/column will scroll at a time.
I use barrier on my raspberry pi, and have a keyboard shortcut to pick wich machine receives the keystrokes and mouse movement.
Additionally to this keyboard shortcut, I also need to click a button on my monitor since it can receive hdmi from multiple machines.

It works great, If I could get it done with only a keyboard shortcut, I would only pick this solution if it does not induce additional lag.
Thanks, so interesting to feel the nostalgia. Acidnews and Raxor1911 brought back a lot of memories
> Holy shit. Am I reading this right? 53% of Americans would support firing someone based on a donation to a presidential campaign?

Are you against this in principle, for all possible presidential candidates regardless of how bad their views and policies and actions are (by your own definition of "bad")? Or do you just think that, right now, no major candidate is "bad enough" that you would advocate firing someone for supporting that candidate?

Who would they order from? Keep in mind they are slightly behind Samsung in ic volume. Samsung is #1 and Intel #2. Almost double the volume of TSMC. It takes a few years to build a new plant.

Literally impossible without a very long term plan... and when it’s over they lose control of their destiny. They can beg TSMC for more chips if they want to meet their sales targets, but maybe they’ll sell to Apple or Nvidia instead.
Gowin might just fill this niche. They are working with yosys on open source support as well.

Ask HN: What’s your stack and arch for real-time notifications and messaging?
The question speaks for itself.
I don't really understand your comment; do you agree or disagree with the quote?
Thinking about it this is not surprising. Most people dream about being at high-positioned jobs/top ranking politicians. Political views is just a noticable part of stuff. Along with perceived incompetency, clan component of relationships (can't find English term for свояченичество), etc. that number perfectly fits into the picture to explain how we justify that dream.
Google is pretty strict about not artificially rewarding sites in the organic rankings. (ie. non-ads and non-infoboxes).

However, despite that those sites will get an implicit reward - if users go to these sites, and find a slick easy checkout and low prices, the site will satisfy their need. Google's goal is to put sites that satisfy the users search request at the top.

So, assuming this new Google service is any good, then sites that use it will end up upranked just because those sites satisfy users more than other sites.
If people recall all of these predictions were made after 9/11 and the subsequent two decades were not exactly a period of decline for NYC. I live in and love NYC. If it’s not your thing that’s fine. There doesn’t have to be one way to live for everyone. I’ve been in the country three weeks now and it’s lovely. I’m happy to be here another three weeks. But my god am I itching to get back to the city.

I’d also point out that if we have a vaccine by year end or early 2021 which isn’t a certainty but is hardly a trivial possibility then all of these grand prognostications (which garner clicks) that life has changed forever will look awfully silly.
I'm sure that's been said in every work environment till it happens there.
Every discussion of free speech in the US seems to conveniently elide how much control employers have over employees, including the ability to take away their healthcare from them for speech that doesn’t even broach the political. Disagree with your boss too much and good luck paying for your kid’s doctor’s appointments.

Cancel culture is tedious moralizing, but mostly a media spectacle meant to drive attention to various figures and platforms. The average worker has more to fear from those who sign their paychecks than anyone else.
Politics has always been high-stakes, but politicizing everything would effectively mean destroying society.

"I am a pro-choice atheist. When I lived in Ireland, one of my friends was a pro-life Christian. I thought she was responsible for the unnecessary suffering of millions of women. She thought I was responsible for killing millions of babies. And yet she invited me over to her house for dinner without poisoning the food. And I ate it, and thanked her, and sent her a nice card, without smashing all her china."

This is just a fancier way of saying “If you’re not with me you’re against me”
I find it astounding that just any old for profit company can decide to ruin a world-wide public resource just to turn a few bucks. In 2020.

I'd expect that from something like the East India Company in the 1700's or something. Not a modern company in a modern society.
It's not entirely baseless. Look at what's happening with AMP. Google aren't a charity, and at some point in the last decade they realized it.
Most people don't even know what an URL is. They can't tell the difference between an app and a website. They think google is the internet. Hell, even the ones that do know better type the site URL into google to go to the site they want.
A Testable Go AWS S3 Scanner
Libraries lend physical copies of movies just like they lend physical copies of books
Analyzing files on an AWS S3 bucket is a common task with many examples for doing so available on the Internet, however, doing it in a way that enables unit tests, is somewhat of a mystery :)
That's true, but if now there is central space freeing up in major cultural hubs like NYC and SF, maybe it could be cool. These places might, although to a lesser extent, have the customer base of affluent people to support new cultural spaces.
I think this is an interesting approach.
Interesting... although 2 years doesn't seem like a meaningful enough time frame to capture real growth, only hype.
This is a very broad definition of political.
Thanks for reading!

I'd say, in short, Pi-KVM is more feature rich, while TinyPilot is simpler and more approachable with less functionality.

Pi-KVM has several nice features that TinyPilot doesn't yet have, including power management, mouse support, authentication, TLS, and USB storage mounting.

TinyPilot has a quicker install. Pi-KVM requires you to compile the OS locally, which takes about an hour. If you've got a Raspberry Pi OS system (aka Raspbian) already, you can configure it for TinyPilot with two commands, and the install takes 5-10 minutes.

One of my goals with TinyPilot was to avoid a requirement for soldering/jumper cables, but if you don't mind soldering, that might not matter much to you. Pi-KVM works without soldering as well, but the documentation assumes soldering/breadboards.

I hope that there's space for both projects, and Max and I have talked about ways to potentially collaborate.
If the majority hide their political views then there is no way to engage with them and ever present your side on issues.

Which migh sound bad but is actually a natural response to being forcefully fed extreme ends of political stances.

So the debate over media and internet missinformation might be for nothing. People adapt arround obstacles. In the end there could only be bots responding to bots and campaign members patting eachother on the back for the number of likes the bots generated.
In my office the parents and people that have their own offices as opposed to cubicles are the only ones looking to return.
I wouldn't support firing somebody for supporting Trump, but I can definitely understand the sentiment. Trump has pretty well established himself as a racist, and I can imagine how that would not go over well with employees of color.
I was not aware of Kolmogorov. I fear we may all need to become him.
Sorry for the confusion. What I meant is that I have never made a purchase from instacart app or from instacart.com website. Instead, I am placing online orders in costco app (and sometimes with a browser on costco.com) for grocery. Instarcart is a vendor for costco's grocery delivery. When I say I don't care about instacart, I meant I am a customer of costco for this order journey, not a customer to instacart.
It's literally not; how do you know I don't support the status quo? I'm just pointing out that being "apolitical" is a political stance, whether or not you agree with that stance.
More likely the lack of OTG being an issue, as elsewhere in the comments the author showed the CPU usage of the Pi 4. It's not even making a dent. It's super low overhead. I'd be surprised if it maxed out a 3B.
Sure, but this stuff is two decades old by now and really should be a commodity. Newer and innovative designs are welcome to some protection. But at this level the main questions are can I have a toolchain that is unencumbered and how much power does a particular design consume. In a way that is where the battlefield is, extracting as much computation as possible from a given energy budget.

Which led me to speculate the other day that mobile phones should be programmed in lower level languages for an immediate jump in battery life. Nothing my phone does requires gigahertz processors.
No, the question was about business executives. So among other things you can't say "53% of Americans would support firing someone based on a donation to a presidential campaign" since that wasn't the question, it was about business executives.

I'm not sure why it was phrased that way. It seems to be hinting at wealthy people controlling the outcome of elections.
“Yeah but clearly one side is worse”

Says people on both sides, unbeknownst to them as they neg the centrist who has the audacity to analyze policies important to them at that point in time.
No, it's really not. This is just cult like Puritanism that shows your lack of balance and proportionality.
Why would they grant their competitor a monopoly?
Yes, this downside of remote work almost never gets brought up. I've worked remotely for about 10 years now and have no interest in going back, but I think people should be clear-eyed about what's in it for employers. Not so much coffee and snacks, but office space, desks/monitor/chair, etc. Ethical employers should be offering stipends for these.
> the amount of emotion on display when the topic turned to returning to the office strongly suggests people want to go back.

Could also be the most vociferous or those worried about losing jobs to outsourcing? Also there's morale at play which could be people wanting to showcase they're all-in for facetime and not wanting to be the only ones without team spirit. imo people will vote with their feet re: remote work by not interviewing or accepting offers at companies that force back to the office.

Agree there's a nostalgia factor at play and need for ongoing discussions, I think overall things are going to move towards greater flexibility and maybe flex days/time etc.
I just wanna add one thing to this list:

- Physical space. If you've got a small home without a spare room to turn into an office, have fun working on the kitchen table!
Why my first game failed
Why would you hope for that? Do you think there is no way to distinguish any qualities of different political views and that they are all equivalent?
That’d have been 11 years ago. I know because my earliest Clojure project on GitHub hearkens back to July 2009, and I jumped onto the bandwagon after hearing enthusiastic opinions of yours.

Not sure whether I ever had the opportunity to properly thank you, but let me say so now. Thank you, jwr.

Yeah but all those are not IRL activities, so there is a small chance that they mess that up. They are really not good with real people.

I tire of centrists, among chaos, claiming everything is being politicized.

I'm sorry - once in a while bad things happen and a choice must be made.
Yeah, I live in Europe. When I go to a restaurant in North America, they have beer in 335,341,474 ml cans, draught beer in pints, 12oz, 16oz etc. Very confusing.
If I ask the waiters, they also have have no cloue about what gets me the me most beer for my money. (I did check it all with units(1) now, but will probably have forgotten it next time I need it)
They were doing controlled digital lending (CDL) with a strict owned-to-loaned ratio.

Then, during the emergency, they waived all waitlists and limits, allowing an unlimited number of loans for a single owned copy. They no longer could claim that they were still engaged in CDL, so there was no legal justification to make all of those copies.
That's definitely a clear, strong, and powerful ideology. Pretending it is a minimal one is incorrect.

More money (for whom? and by what means?) is not always better.

Yeah I forgot that only one of the USB ports actually does data. I guess you could use a Teensy that interfaces through the GPIO pins and pretends to be the keyboard and mouse.
Thanks for the language advice!
I'd suggest putting the information directly on your site (at least the IPOs coming up in the next X days) and charge for the deeper access + email notifications. But that way people have a reason to visit your site even if they haven't decided to pay yet.
Or their network isolation is very poor, super common in older tech companies.
By this reasoning my dog supports the status quo.

I am more that willing to take on those costs to work from home forever because I get the freedom of no commute which not only incurs an obvious cost but puts me at risk each day.

I also find my costs reduced because now I am no longer eating out for lunch, let alone because I felt pressure to do so daily.

However there are companies that are overly proud of their head quarters and other real estate and are going to be loathe to give it up; this includes elite addresses and locations
There's a line about pedantic meaning "you're right but I don't like it", but Java vs JS isn't even close! They're both OO programming languages in the C-like family with garbage collection, but they have completely different execution models, runtimes, usecases, and implementations; their close naming is a bug.

I don't think there's a way to get the Pi to capture video or impersonate keyboards for more than one computer at a time.

A neat idea a friend proposed to me was to buy a "dumb" KVM that supports switching through keyboard hotkeys and use that to scale it to multiple machines. See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23928251
And the more moderate your views the more likely it is that the flack will come from both sides.
That domain needs a digital certificate.
The other thing about native controls, is that as the UI toolkit evolves over time, your app stays up to date, without looking old and dated, stuck in an old paradigm of skeuomorphism or flat or material or metro or aqua or luna or etc.

There's also battery life and suspend. I expect a native app to minimize, close and kill, resume, and background when needed.

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
I was raised in a conservative family. My views have shifted greatly leftward over the last 20 years. I avoid sharing my views at work not because I am afraid for myself, but because I don't want to make conservative colleagues of mine feel unwelcome. I prioritize their comfort in our shared work environment over the enjoyment I would derive from a vigorous political argument. We are there together to work on difficult technical and business problems -- not to solve (or even define) what needs changing in American political life. If I want to talk politics, I'll jump into the comments section of a blog.
The US military has a certain tension in its communications. On one hand they have to get money from the Congress, and the way to do this is "the gap between us and these other guys is shrinking, we can't continue to do our job with what money we have right now, hence, give us more money". On the other hand, they have to communicate to their allies that the gap between themselves and the Russians/Chinese is not actually shrinking, it's all good, and even expanding (which it should better be, considering their budget is equal to the defense budget of the next 20 nations combined).

I personally doubt Russia and China have moved ahead of the US in any realm, satellite, rockets, cyber, or anything. But if you want to get a book sold, you can do worse than arguing as such, and you certainly will have a lot of evidence from the available various Congressional hearings, and other official military communications, just because the Pentagon is not beyond crying wolf when it serves its interests.

Edit: the book you mentioned looks quite good, thanks for mentioning it. I just bought it.
There is a remarkable corollary in these statistics:

> 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

According to the first chart, 42% of “strong liberals” feel like they can share their political views. That group is disproportionately white: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/02/27/5-facts-abo.... So there are all these people of color who are substantially more afraid to share their political views than a group of disproportionately white liberals on the far left.
You could also be apolitical because you find all available options to be unacceptable, or because you just don't know what's going on.

Separately, not opposing the status quo is more like accepting it than supporting it, and these are all different.

Your lack of nuance rather proves the point of the great grandparent post.
Does it not concern you that a significant portion of those surveyed think it’s okay to fire someone for their (financial) support of a political candidate? You don’t have to talk about it for people to find out — it’s part public record if you are contributing more than $200.

Seems insane to me.
This is the first time I've heard anyone mention Eternal September in a positive sense.
