This is a common mind set to fall into. I fell into it at a previous company for a few months, and a top performer at my current company admitted to falling in the same trap. Here’s what I realized:

You can do excellent work AND work 40 hours.

You don’t need to work 5 hours or 100 hours. It’s not binary. In the short term do you see any benefit? Nope. Will you get promoted? Probably not. And if you do you won’t make that much extra money.

BUT! In the LONG TERM it’s TOTALLY worth it to be known as the proactive, friendly do-er who moves the project forward. That’s how you build those relationships to be the kind of person who gets brought along to a new opportunity when your coworker/boss quits. I’ve found myself at a startup FULL of ex-FAANGs who have this attitude and all worked with each other for 10+ years. It’s a great place to be.

People think ”networking” is going out drinking with new people. It’s not. It’s consistently showing up and finding opportunities to move your team and the project forward in a friendly, collaborative way.

vPro is error prone and may require multiple setup attempts. If you want to use it on anything but the same LAN there is a built-in VPN. If you can find anything about the AMD version I'd be interested, they don't seem to publish anything unless you are a partner.
As more of our existence moves into the virtual realm, the virtual realm carries more weight than the physical reality. This was foreseen with the rise of mass media decades ago - long enough to have been forgotten - and now we're just living it out. This is combined with post-truth - the world is complicated, and we're swamped with conflicting expert opinions. So we fall back to solipsism - nothing truly matters until it affects you.

I had been hoping this article was going to be about actual psychosomatic effects based on peoples beliefs. Like say if the people who didn't care about the epidemic actually had lower fatality rates. That would be interesting, alas.
25Gbps is 250 cable Internet users downloading the release of your new software. What you call a DDOS is actually a woefully underwhelming instantaneous transfer rate.
We've been using Sidekick for the last week or so, and I can give it two-thumbs-up. I feel more connected to my co-founders than I have since COVID started, and tbh, the interface is a piece of cake to use. The difference in feeling like we're all grinding away towards the same goals again is amazing. Props to the Sidekick team for getting us to realize the benefits of something slightly uncomfortable (always-on video) and providing us with the device to do it!
All you've said is that labor market is fundamentally flawed in terms of price efficiency.
A cost / speed scatterplot would be nice.

Even better on a service like fast.com
The MP3 at 25: How a Digital File Dynamited the Music Industry
An alternate hypothesis is that they are trying to justify the inflated share price by gutting all other EV makers and gobbling up marketshare.

Tesla already has better margins on EV sales than any other automaker. If Tesla price their cars at a level that forces everyone else to lose money on EVs, it makes everyone else's transition from ICE to EV that much harder.

The much-lauded ID.3 (which is a bet-the-company project for VW) was supposed to undercut the Model 3, but the price has been slowly creeping up (and VW has had to massively de-content the base model to hit their price targets). If Tesla forces VW to take a loss on every ID.3, VAG's shares are going to start looking over-valued pretty quickly.
Thank you, and yes!
Not really. I’ve worked in three large publicly traded ecommerce companies that are household names, one large education tech company, two startups and a defense research lab after grad school.

All of them were identical in this regard. What defines a “good plan” or what qualifies as “good leadership” is fully subjective and at the discretion of leaders most interested in entrenching their power.

This also has a lot of research behind it, eg like in the book Moral Mazes.

The description you give sounds like an extreme outlier that doesn’t have relevance for that vast majority of modern workplaces.

Carta's Only Woman Executive Suing over Gender Discrimination
He's not describing a tar pit, though. He says he works one day a week -- he could, in fact, be running faster.

The simplest thing to do would be to sign up for more tasks (his calendar is open, after all) and/or tell his manager he wants more challenging work.
No one would force someone to expose themselves to that risk should they choose not to participate in the wider society. Your point would make sense if people were intentionally spreading the disease. (ftr i am against covid parties). But in this case for someone to get the disease they must choose to expose themselves to it (by going to a restaurant, by not sanitizing their hands before touching their eyes et al)

The point is that the freedoms/rights of the masses are being restricted for the benefit of few.

And to be clear I'm not saying that people should not be prudent whilst retaining their freedoms. It's prudent to wear a seat belt in a car, or a helmet on a motorcycle. Similarly it's prudent to wear a mask and sanitize hands and objects.

But to tell everyone they cannot drive because someone (not the driver) might die, or you cannot drive a motorcycle because it increases your chance of death over alternative means of transport has never been a rational argument. Yet we take similar arguments about covid19 as sufficient?
But if the false positive rate is high, just skip the test and do the endoscopy.
“May not survive the year” can be read as either “may close before the end of this calendar year,” or “may close within 12 months.” Unless it’s January 1, those are quite different statements. English sucks sometimes.

Edit: inserted the word “calendar” to clarify a little.
> Considering that, at least in chicago, the police requested federal assistance

The police union did, but in any case, for very good reasons of federalism, the normal and proper route for such a request for federal intervention in local civil order other than as a result of open rebellion by the State government against the Union is from the Governor of the State (who will consider the need for such a request in light of and assure coordination with any state response available and in use, such as state-level law enforcement, National Guard, etc.), not from the local police command.
The antidote is to pretend everything you say to a computer is public record.

That’s not reasonable, of course, but having it in mind changes your behavior.
I run my own Docker registry for my personal projects backed by DO Spaces. It was so slow that I couldn't actually believe it, and had to instrument the registry code extensively to account for all the time spent in the storage API, to see what the actual problem was. Turns out Spaces is really, really slow.
"Should" is one of those words that means less and less the more you look at it.

One way to define it is, "Do employees like it?"

If you accept the premise that markets are good at finding optimal prices where "optimal" means "greatest aggregate satisfaction of all participants", and you believe that the job market is relatively efficient, then it means you can trust the job market to answer your "should" question for you.

(It's OK to not accept these premises, of course, or to partially accept them. Personally, I think the job market is somewhat efficient. There are lots of both buyers and sellers. There is a fair amount of information available to all participants. However, switching costs are pretty high, which artificially disincentivizes job hopping.)

You might assume that employees would not like it because they'll get paid less in a cheaper area. But employees in more expensive areas will get paid correspondingly more. And, if your goal is to maximize total happiness across all employees, you'll probably find that yes, it makes sense for salary to vary based on cost of living.

Another definition is "Is it good for society?" In other words, what incentives does this choice create, and do we like the consequences of incentivizing that?

Salaries that do not take cost of living into account are essentially pay raises for living some place cheaper and pay cuts for living some place more expensive. That incentivizes people to move to cheaper areas.

That could be a good thing for the US. Ever since our ag industry automated and our manufacturing industry moved overseas, we have lost most of the forces pulling people towards smaller cities. The result is an increasing concentration in a few metro areas not designed to handle that population. This in turn creates a bunch of knock-on effects: greater homelessness, greater economic sorting where people rarely interact with people outside of their economic level, and increasingly painful commutes for lower income people.

An incentive to mitigate that and encourage Americans to move out of the big cities could be a good thing.
It's selection bias.

We're inundated with stories of how Person X changed the world with their software, or Person Y who solved this amazing issue, or Company Z is doing this cool thing- with out realizing that we're only seeing the people who broke through the mundane. Working at a FANNG means you might get a chance at being in the room where they're picking people for a new team that might do something cool.

Where I work, we have this amazing internal database system we're going to open source. It's amazing tech, but for the 10 developers who made it, we have 1000 doing grunt work solving problems like "We need to get Apple Sign In working, but to do that we need to add X to Service A, Y to Service B, and refactor how we store accounts to make it work." It's not exciting.
It's lossy, the inverse is not well defined. But you could try to train a NN on reconstructing plausible (idiomatic) inputs leading to the current IR...
Do you think that the free internet won't be slowly strangled until there's none? People will find so many reasons to kill privacy, "think of the kids", "think of the crime", "think of the spies". So on and on, we've seen it happen, I think China and other oppressive regimes have displayed that already.
Here in South Africa, I pay $17 for 40 GB of 4g data. And I can transfer some of that to another prepaid SIM.

That way, I kept one of my couch surfing online for a month. It hardly cost me anything, but it was invaluable to him when he hitchhiked for a month.
To be fair, they didn't say they're working one day a week, they said it takes them only one day to provide equal value to what their teammates achieve in one week, a value that seems to meet their company's expectations.

FAANGS employees are salaried, and not paid by hour, because you are compensated for ROI. If it takes you one hour and you bring in lots of value, that's still a good deal. On the flip side, you could also work 60 hours week if that's what it took you to meet and exceed on the value expectations.

Still agree with much of your comment though. Since they're complaining about the situation, something does feel off.
Definitely understand the privacy concern - we know that our product won't fit every home office setup depending on the living circumstances. It depends on how close and comfortable a team feels with each other. Our teams are already close-knit and miss the feeling of being in the same room together. We're thinking of adding virtual backgrounds to help with this too.
I bet a $12/year "Editor" option that simply allowed those users to use <i>italics</i> would be widely used, generating $$$ without disrupting what people love about Twitter.
A man cannot step into the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.

The circumstances that made the first job great were no longer there even before I left it, and the role doesn't even exist any more at this point. I've looked at joining (roughly) the same team again but the responsibilities have changed so much that I can't really recreate the same magic.
And yet many serious museums have never offered their artifacts up to researchers for study, either because the researchers don’t exist, or because they have 1000 examples of a piece, 900 are in long-term storage, and are never planned to be used.

At some point in the past, all of these pieces were acquired from private collections. Why must the flow be one-directional?
I don't think there is a filter or the filter is real bad

If implemented properly, it's totally possible that security is not reduced for that user. However there are at least three problems with it:

1) When not implemented properly, it is treated as an alternative authentication mechanism, not an additional required mechanism. My ultra strong password is useless if it's enough to steal my phone number and convince customer support that the attacker simply forgot the password.

2) It gives a false sense of security. I already have 2FA enabled! What do you mean I should be using TOTP/FIDO2/TLS client certificates?!

3) It reinforces an unfortunately widespread security anti-pattern, which reduces security for Web users in aggregate. So what if it's not a great idea? Everyone is doing it! Or put another way, MD5 password hashing is better than storing passwords in plain text. But please, please, please do not use MD5 password hashing! There are much better ways to accomplish that goal without introducing more flaws.
Adding Clarity and a Dash of Whimsy to API Error Messages
This feels like bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the sudden shift towards remote only work. Don't get me wrong, I like the premise as I've definitely felt disconnected from my team recently, but I don't think this quite solves the problem. If it did we'd just sit in a Google Hangout meeting all day. We (and I imagine a lot of others) have already tried this and it didn't work. No one can really put their finger on why, we just know something was still missing.

I think it has to do with the medium. Maybe the answer involves coming up with some sort experience that doesn't feel as dry and disconnected as video conferencing. This is where the idea of course becomes hand wavy -- but maybe it involves some use of AR, or a projector -- who knows.

If I were in your shoes I'd be thinking about a game-changer, instead of an incremental enhancement of video conferencing. Maybe that's bad advice, but I know I don't find this offering terribly compelling.
Nubank has over ten million customers and undoubtedly many more people in their target market that know their brand. The only people that would recognize Cognitect are clojure developers or particularly hardcore fans.

Looks like it's still an early stage. Nice to see that it has something I wanted to implement in Jitsi Meet - "select person to talk". Other than that I don't see the appeal other than the subscription model for the hardware if you are an employer. Would be nice to see something like Facebook's Portal, so that it could be also placed in bigger rooms, where it could follow the speaker.
"In 2016, a group of investors led by the Alexa Fund bought a stake in Nucleus, a small company that made a home-video communication device that integrated with the Alexa voice assistant.

Nucleus’s founders and the venture-capital funds investing alongside the Alexa Fund had reservations about collaborating with an Amazon-backed firm, according to some of the co-investors. "

"After striking the deal, the Alexa Fund got access to Nucleus’s financials, strategic plans and other proprietary information, these people said. Eight months later, Amazon announced its Echo Show device, an Alexa-enabled video-chat device that did many of the same things as Nucleus’s product.

Nucleus’s founders and other investors were furious. One of the founders held a conference call with some investors to seek advice. He said there was no way his small company could compete against Amazon in the consumer space, according to people on the phone call, and began brainstorming ways to pivot his company’s product.

An Amazon spokeswoman said that the Alexa Fund told Nucleus about its plans for an Echo with a screen before taking a stake in the company. Several people on the Nucleus side of the deal disputed that.

Before Amazon introduced its product, the Nucleus device was sold at major retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s and Best Buy. Once the Echo began selling, those sales declined sharply and retailers stopped placing orders, said two people involved in the deal.

Nucleus threatened to sue Amazon, which settled with Nucleus for $5 million without admitting wrongdoing, according to people familiar with the settlement. Both sides agreed not to discuss the matter.

Nucleus reoriented its product to the health-care market, where it has struggled to gain traction, some of those people said."

Wow, Gavin Belson must be furious.
How about teaching of Jesus? Would they listen?
Yep. Let’s not forget HIV. We’ve had several flu pandemics in the past 100 years, as well.
> the mayor requested it, but she delivered a speech yesterday saying she welcomes it as long as the agents aren't militarized.

The mayor is well aware of the practice being employed, and this is a way of saying it is distinctly unwelcome without minimizing the issues being used as a pretext for it.
U.S. Banks Can Offer Crypto Custody Services Says OCC
All of our current customers wanted to try the experience without actually having to purchase and own a new expensive device. We really wanted to lower the barrier for anyone who wanted to give us a chance.

We also handle all shipping/return costs -- we're trying to minimize any burden on the customers.

A platform isn’t some magical place with no basis in society, they don’t exist in some walled-off world where the real world is alien. They are still part of the general culture.

It’s a fault of Quora to have dogmatic rules like this, there are justifications for impoliteness.
You not having heard of 8kun really hasn't done a damn thing to slow down QAnon, actually. You're not in their target audience and they don't need you on board to achieve their purposes.

The best way to combat conspiracy theories like QAnon would be for our elites and institutions to stop constantly preying upon the people and lying to them about it via a neutered press, and actually hold some members of their own class accountable for once. The massively corrupt corporate giveaway that was the Covid stimulus is a great recent example. The Epstein case being slow walked by the FBI for 25 years and then trying to sweep it all under the rug with "oops he killed himself while the guards were asleep and the cameras malfunctioned!" is another. As long as this kind of stuff continues, people will attempt (often haphazardly and incorrectly) to understand how and why it isn't being stopped, and who's in charge of it. They will be easy targets for grifters and bunkum artists who rush in to fill the gaps left by complete radio silence on the part of mainstream media sources.

You know, I don't agree with QAnon and think it has many properties of a dangerous cult, but they do at least have one advantage over run-of-the-mill liberals in correctly identifying the ruling elite as the chief cause of the world's problems, instead of constantly focusing blame on "deplorable" Trump supporters with zero actual power or influence.
Pay raise and pay cut are not justified descriptions. Given folks can live where they like, its simply a choice of where you want to live, vs what you can afford.

I agree that work and location will be decoupled for information workers, because the modern world is going that way. Its just something we'll have to adapt to.
I find that big companies are like the world - good and bad. I can guarantee that somewhere in your FAANG is a fascinating, demanding project led by a charismatic boss with a high bar for achievement. People are likely to know what the project is and who is leading it. Go there! Believe me, if you are deliberate about it you can be on that project within 3-6 months, hitching your career to that leader, who, I also guarantee, is going places you also want to go.
I guess the same reason why companies lease hardware like laptops for their employees.

Crime rate have very little to do with how society is policed. If you want to find explanations look at wealth distribution, poverty rates, the school system, job market and so on.
The "shadier" internet will be slowly killed. Without any doubt. It would just be more convenient for website hosts, to people in power in general.

Especially so under oppressive regimes, I think China has already displayed how internet would end up if we went that route. Restrictive, dangerous for dissidents, without any real privacy.
Definitely ok to feel the way you feel. Talking to people is always an option as well. For me i was lucky to find a wife and now have a child. The 9-5 literally blows by, i'm at a giant mega co (not faang) and it sucks similarly. Sometimes it's crunchtime and u gotta work hard, other times no one gives a shit as long as systems function. I've put in my time grinding (5 years at startup) and now want to milk the shit out of these corporate bastards as much as possible.

Basically my wife and now child have changed my life , work sucks (just like blink182) said but hey they are payin me big $$$ to chill out. As a father and husband consitent steady income is name of the game. If you are single and want to hustle, sure fuckin job hop all you want bud!!
Ask HN: Natively Compiled Vscode?
So I like vscode but being electron it’s a resource hog on my machine. There have been recent advances in web assembly so it got me thinking if anyone has taken the time to compile it to native?
Doesn’t that only specifically apply to art museums?
Nice, great quote! :D
Super neat! Happy to see Sidekick launch!
I can’t believe this is a website. It’s essentially a rolling data breach.
