My company has been fully remote for like 6 years. It seems to be working pretty well.
I'm not an expert on Utah or on racism, but I know that SLC and Ogden, both cities in Utah, had HOLC maps with redlining.

There were Black people in Utah before the LDS church. There were Black slaves owned by members of the LDS church until slavery was made illegal, and there are and were Black Mormons since the time of Brigham Young. Per the below link, there might have been more that came or stayed on in Utah, if the area had been more welcoming, but discrimination in housing, work opportunity, and arguably in the LDS faith had an impact.

As best I can tell, Utah never had a particularly big Black population, and many many racist policies kept it that way. I suppose you could argue that that's natural, but I don't see it.

I feel like everyone in my remote company is a total stranger and it's the strangest feeling waking up every day and working with total strangers. Feels like every project I have to prove myself and it's been making my impostor syndrome pretty acute. Cultures a big, big thing there..
It was about the previous problems. This is just more of the same.
Um, a ship is surface-based so that wasn't a space to space asset.

This isn’t like PCR testing. It’s closer to insulin testing, in terms of the expense and difficulty of creation of the tests (and the means of interpreting the results). 350M is well within the range of possibility.

And the reward to having a reopened economy and significantly reduced death toll could justify very large investment.
For me working remote has come with a mix of upsides and downsides. One of the main upsides for me has been mentioned a few times in this thread, and that's the fact that without having people physically present, your performance is now necessarily more tightly tied to what you actually accomplish rather than how long you're present in an office. This gives employees a lot more autonomy and freedom with how they spend their time as long as they manage to get everything done. No energy and time needs to be spent keeping up the unproductive facade of looking busy.

On the other hand, losing the ability to have spontaneous hallway conversations does cut out a lot of the communication that would normally happen in office. The signal-to-noise of these conversations may not be so high in terms of actually communicating purely work related topics, but they do a lot to foster a sense that you're actually part of a team with people you enjoy working with. With IMs and video calls, communication happens much more deliberately so coworkers feel much more like these virtual entities who you only contact for purposeful knowledge transfer. Perhaps some people actually prefer this and see it as more efficient, but I personally find it to be a somewhat dreary proposition.

Ultimately, I think what I would prefer is a flexible WFH policy, with maybe 3 days in office and 2 days of flex.
How many people who work for BigTech have family there and didn’t relocate?
Beating Gadaffi Forces to the Border Arab Spring 2011
One Inuit parenting technique that works on my kids. If a child hits you or bites you, don't yell at them. Instead pretend to cry in an exaggerated way. I have found this to be way more effective than yelling or timeouts. My oldest is almost 4, so this might not work on older kids. But then older kids do not bite very often anyway.
Is that any less silly?
AMD hasn't been whipping Intel like this since the days of the Athlon 64 vs Pentium4.
This pandemic might not be historically unprecedented, but the scale of the reaction to it (most office workers staying home for several months) certainly is.
Sure paralysis sometimes causes inaction but sometimes inaction is an affirmative decision to take no action. That isn’t fear, that’s just strategy.

In fact the single best negotiation advice I ever got was to say nothing when you make an ask and the other side turns you down. Often the uncomfortable silence, even just for a few seconds, will cause the other person to instinctively walk back their firm no and start offering other possible solutions.
You can't think of your pay as a transaction based on value you bring. It's based on 1) retaining you 2) how much would it cost to replace you

For 1, what are your alternatives in your local market or remote positions (next best alternative). For 2, if they just fired you instead and then opened up the position to anyone anywhere, what would they have to pay?

Also, yes, I have moved from a low cost of living area to a high cost of living area and got a pay adjustment. It is standard to increase pay for those moves (they they are not always approved though)
Raw wafer counts aren't particularly relevant here, because you can't really re-tool a NAND or DRAM fab into a competitive logic fab. Based on those numbers, about a third of Samsung's wafer count is logic, putting them slightly ahead of Intel (logic and a bit of NAND). TSMC's wafer count (all logic, AFAIK) is higher than Samsung+Intel, but not all of that is on leading-edge nodes. TSMC 28nm and 16nmFF nodes are going to be sticking around for many years to come.
It looks super unbalanced to me. Letters have different visual weights at different parts for seemingly no reason at all.
Even global levels fell!

A major global factor is likely the introduction of lead free gasoline.

No (see sister comments) and your incorrect answer is part of why AWS needs to reform S3.
The comment was about firing a CEO who donated to Trump. I'm pointing out that the US is a democracy which doesn't have a king. Being president doesn't mean one can do & act as they want..unlike donating to a would be king who would not be limited/balanced by the other branches of government.
Inferential Distance (2007)
FWIW, for a long time I've worked roughly 11 to 4 and have not caught any flack for it, as I get my work done. It entirely depends on the company you work for. (I'm not saying my situation is common, just that it does exist.)
Thankfully they didn't before safety and technology improved, else we'd all be living next to 1950/60s reactors. Now that electric cars are viable, it's a good time to take a fresh look.
I am not sure who said it originally but I heard a quote that resinates with me and this idea. "Honest conflict is better then dishonest harmony."

I like the idea of discussing topics that are controversial. Its actually annoying when someone tosses out a viewpoint that I disagree with but they are unwilling to discuss further. I have actually shifted my views over time by talking it out with people I disagree with. In some cases it strengthened my conviction or made me more prepared to defend my viewpoint but in some cases I do change my mind.

The issue is that online it does usually devolve into a flame war where nothing productive happens. Or the thread is flagged. I am interested to see if this is really going to be different. I installed it just to see how this works.
Well, the Wimbledon at least had insurance for just such an occasion - https://www.forbes.com/sites/isabeltogoh/2020/04/09/report-w...
None of this is about your personal life.

Work is just work. I get to see my kids more. I have more time. That is going to trump anything work related.
Clustering with More Than Two Features? Try This to Explain Your Findings
My politics are outside the Overton window to the point I'm just depending on the rest of my fellow citizens not to make their mess my mess with their choices.
I normally don't reply to my own posts, but I think this is worthy for consideration.

There was someone with a throwaway account that replied with the argument that "Free speech need not be absolute", and then started getting voted down.

What's truly ironic I feel is that in my world view, his speech would just sit there as an alternative viewpoint, read and disagreed with.

But in his world his viewpoint could made illegal (or in the HN world downvoted), based upon what might be perceived as the popular rhetoric of the day.
It seems insane to me that Intel won't have 7nm fabs working at scale until 2023 but AMD is selling $99 CPUs printed at 7nm already.

How did Intel go from 24 months ahead of everyone to 4 years behind??

The most advanced process node was arguably Intel's only true differentiator in the past. Now they make CPUs with comparable IPC to ARM or AMD but they have to use old process tech. And they are only getting further behind.

How smart was it for AMD to spin out their fabs into GlobalFoundaries? After all 7nm Ryzen is done by TSMC.
You're being very polite to people who are being very rude. This gives me confidence in using you as a vendor and helps your brand immensely.
“Video-video” often not, and there’s a lot of work we do that the client is excited about making that you just know nobody will ever watch, but hey they’re paying the invoices and good excuse to hone the craft.

And to your point the funny thing about fashion and narrative-style film/video is that when it’s a single frame of a skinny lady making a contorted pose in the middle of a crazy scene, you’ll accept that as given in a single image, but suddenly when you actually have to flesh out the world she’s in and try to create an implicit narrative around it to keep the viewer interested (instead of just a vague moody simulacrum of depth) it falls apart; when fashion people talk about “story” they are usually referencing the relationship between particular garments and poses between group still images, without any regard for what that word means in the larger narrative sense re: it being the key to human’s communication and attention.

I think there’s more an opportunity to rethink the problem stills are solving, and if our current solutions are still the most interesting and medium-appropriate ways to address those.

Like say we’re talking functional e-commerce imagery to sell you a specific sweater. What’s the best way to communicate the weight and flow of that sweater: through a 1/125th of a second of it puffed up to show its shape, or seeing how it actually flows and how the weight responds to manipulation in real time. Why deprive ourselves of all of that rich lighting and movement and color dynamics information our brains use to understand what we’re seeing, just because traditionally we’ve used ink smeared on wood pulp.

This article demonstrates yet another way that Postel's Law is a terrible design principle.

The amount of damage adherence to Postel's Law has caused can never be exaggerated. It has made securing TLS extremely difficult. It makes every kind of migration or evolution difficult, and interferes with securing anything.

The way to enforce The Anti-Postel's Law is with tests that include requests and responses to be rejected, and fuzzers that explore the whole boundary of well-formed interaction. Such a test will never detect every improper toleration, but it will make equipment and programs that don't conform hardly ever work, until they are fixed.

People used to like compilers that were lax about syntax requirements and provided lots of extensions. GNU compilers obliged, for a while, and then stopped. Now, even users of Microsoft compilers have demanded Standard conformance, and have nearly got it. A compiler that won't report errors is a way to generate lock-in. That was fine with Microsoft until they understood that it was locking them in, too.
If everyone's 100% remote, there's no "office location". The best compromise is to find a location that minimizes travel for everyone. That might mean the city nearest the centroid.
> Can you show me an example? I'd like to see this. You do not mean FPGA overlays, correct?

Some of the coolest work to come out of the Chisel project is their intermediate representation FIRRTL.
Will there? Plenty of workers fly in from non EU countries to work in the UK and rest of EU.

We have staff from Asia fly in with a few days notice and vice versa.

Few ever need a work visa they simply visit as a tourist. Certainly if a short trip.

Not that what they are doing is correct. But it happens so regularly, I don't think many office workers even consider they need a work visa.

Anyhow this saga has just proven the vast majority of meetings can be done remote hence why your all working remote will be the companies reply.

If a global company the data is probably shared across the globe and regulated as need be already.

I really think people need to be careful for what they wish for with remote work.

Companies will see savings (well what they perceive as savings) and will see margins increasing.

People thinking they will get the money back the company saves on property costs or paid that "London/New York/SF weighting". That or fully kitted home office's. I think they maybe disappointed.

When a company makes big savings they then often get hungry for more.
I wouldn't count Intel out yet. They've been leapfrogged by AMD before, and then caught up. The cycle repeats.

Also, do you remember the 90's? There was a promising 64-bit CPU called the DEC Alpha. Windows once even had an Alpha version. We know how that turned out.
What's the difference? For the sake of argument, what if they had an infinite number of images pre-rendered?
For the sake of my mental health I hope it succeeds. My mental health has been in severe jeopardy just being in a room talking to coworkers just during specific topic-oriented meetings.
I don't understand why people have such a hard time understanding that the value of something changes depending on the context (aka "the market").

Soda at the grocery store? $1.50
Soda at the gas station? $1.99
Soda at Disney World? $30

Your skills are not worth a fixed rate. Your skills are worth more in certain areas because the demand is higher in those areas. As soon as you go remote, you are competing with every other remote worker in the US. More competition, lower price.
Because of freedom of speech? The idea is that the state should not generally be in the business of determine what political speech should be legal, lest it always turn out that only the speech the benefits the powers that be, be allowed to remains standing.

Do you seriously not see the difference between, "this opinion should not get you thrown in jail" and "this opinion should not belong to someone in a position of power"?
The biggest problem with HLS is that the HLS vendors still want to pretend it's "C++ / OpenCL / whatever to gates". What you get is pretending that there is no such concept of a clock even though you know it is always there and you care about it, and the language you are really writing consists mostly of all the crazy pragmas that you have to sprinkle over everything. It ends up failing on both counts: it isn't C++ to gates, and it is an exceedingly difficult HDL to use because it tries to hide the clock from you always even when you really need to do something with it (e.g., a handshake).

A weak spot of high-end commercial HLS tools (Catapult, Stratus) is in interfacing with the rest of the hardware world, and how the clock is handled (SystemC, you handle it yourself) or kind of vaguely (Catapult's ac_channel). Getting HLS to deal with pipeline scheduling is great, but sometimes you want to break through and do something with the clock. Want to write a memory DMA in HLS? Talk AXI? Build a NoC in HLS? Build even something like a CPU in HLS? Interface with "legacy" RTL blocks, whether combinational or straight pipeline or with ready/valid interfaces or whatever? These things are sort of/just feasible at present with these commercial HLS tools, but very very hard (I've tried it).

If they want to stick with it, I think C++11 could provide a superior type-safe metaprogramming facility for building hardware (compared to the extremely primitive metaprogramming and lack of type safety notions in SystemVerilog) or generators such as Chisel or the hand-written Perl/Python/TCL/whatever ones in use at most companies, but sometimes you need to break down and do something with the clock or interface with things that care about a clock, much in the same way that one would put inline asm statements in code. I want to do that, but not have to deal with the clock 95% of the time when I don't really need to, which is where the generators fail (let the tool determine the schedule most of the time). HLS needs to sit between the two: not a generator (glorified RTL), but not "pretend you write untimed C++ all the time" (not hardware at all).
No.

This childish extrapolation to the far future is cheap.

Lets talk about something useful and hard like the first step.

Will it be stock photography or voice actors? Is there an earlier step? Will it initially create a new industry as GAN humans become cheap?

Then we can all smoke a doobie and discus whether future humans will masturbate to AI generated images or our brains and culture won't allow it.
That social media statement - doesn't necessarily have to be super insightful.

The mental image triggered by that sentence is funny and there is some truth to it.

> "Entropic Abyss" ... The phrase is completely meaningless.

Well, it wasn't meaningless to the interviewer - he actually found it poetic.

And for me it triggered an interesting mental image.

> bad translation from German... It translates to "uninterrupted", not "closed".

I just looked up the words. 'Geschlossene' comes from schliessen, which means to close.

Uninterrupted in German seems to be 'ununterbrochen'.

So Closed Cooling Chain actually seems to be a good translation and it nicely rolls off the tongue - CCC.

> I'm pretty disappointed by the onslaught of empty phrases and the dearth of insight or arguments.

I realized some might not get much out of it - hence why I said that at the very least Joscha is entertaining to listen to (subjective - I know).

I got something out of it - what Joscha says makes me think - even if at the end I won't get enlightened, I look forward to check out his other work.
Well, recently there was gay marriage and other gay rights issues. Maybe trans issues are more topical right now.

> No one is turning a blind eye to our society's problems.

Is this a serious statement?
What if you used an object in another orbit to fire a projectile? Wouldn't that make the differences in energies pretty significant?
The only issue is that using kinetic weapons greatly increases the risk of Kessler Syndrome; in other words premature mutually assured destruction. Kinetic space weapons are so easy to get wrong with outsized repercussions.

Otherwise raising orbit is expensive(ish) depending on whether you want a circular orbit. Matching an orbit can be expensive. If the target has auto avoidance like Starlink does then matching orbit becomes war of attrition; even getting the target to burn off its fuel is a win as it will drastically shorten its life span.

Deorbiting is relatively easy at LEO, just increasing frontal area is a cheap way to achieve it. Above LEO would normally require fuel of some amount.
At the ~$700 price tag I found for it, I feel like you're missing the spirit of the post.

You could build ~7 devices for as many machines using the article's method.
You can upload the activity via PC: the FIT files are directly accessible via USB mass storage in the "Activity" directory.
This allows you to upload FIT files to cloud-based services such as Strava to see your running stats, or into a PC-based application to do the same locally.
I consider myself an extrovert and I love wfh. I don't consider conversations at work to be socialising. I guess it helps that I live with a few other people and play games with friends after work so I don't really feel alone or stripped of socialization.
Everyone and their dog are whooping Intel. AMD on x86, and GPUS. ARM on everything else. Modem business, flop. Nvidia is trashing them on accelerator cards and GPUs. Amazon is starting to use its own ARM CPUs and AMD. Intel really doesn't have an answer to "twice the cores, for less" value prop for cloud providers selling vCPUs.

Could they recover from this death spiral?
Does this mean that the you could go remote permanently? Looks like a great deal.
It's not always support, but in the case of status quo injustice, it's tacit support.
Perhaps my post was not clear, but I mean the leftist wing are pushing socialism, not mainstream Democrats (yet). My fear is that there influence in the party will grow and in a two party system where am I to go? It won't be the Republican party.

Also I am sure there is a perception bubble effect but on pretty mainstream sites like reddit I regularly see posts and comments blaming all of societies ills on Capitalism that are highly up-voted.
given that the bespoke companies (Inditex, H&M) are regularly selling off half their stock at 50% off and meanwhile looking into insolvency every few years, I think you overestimate their execution. Producing a shirt probably costs 40cts (if at all) at enormous costs to communities in the disenfranchised parts of the world.

I doubt that the "brands" do any "finegrained" optimization, it's "make shirt or have no food"; the actual subcontractors probably do, but not in any rigorous way except introducing slavery.
I’m not angry about anything. Was just offering my POV. My point was, given Apple’s recent history, they are going to lock down apple computers even further now. Last I checked, you could not run anything other than what was “approved” by Apple because they GLUED an ssd to a motherboard. Now that they call the shots on the CPU(you know, the actual computer), they might require people to log in with their icloud-crap account to just play candy crush on a computer. And not that I care about karma, downvote away. But you all need to chill.
Can you add a citation for the false positives number?

The Abbott Labs test false positive rate was 0.02%, which seems totally acceptable to me

On the other side of the equation, Mina’s point (see paper in my other comment) is that with frequent enough testing, the math of the epidemiology indicates that the sensitivity does not need to be terribly high to have a huge impact on the trajectory of the pandemic

Edit: I see now that you were talking about antibodies, not antigens, sorry
