I don't have a general solution. We warn all new hires about this problem when they start. Just knowing you will go through this phase is often useful in catching the problem early. We rely on the support structure of everyone who has gone through the pain recognizing the symptoms in others early. We try to infuse some change to the working pattern of the person - like increase the 1:1 communication or have them help someone else or make them present something at a virtual brownbag or teach something to the rest of the group. These tasks help to a certain extent because new people seem to feel good when they contribute to a group. But I don't think there is any easy way other than just accepting this is going to happen and that you need to experiment your way through this problem.
FWIW, the quote and interpretation as presented in your link is rated a “pants on fire” lie by Politifact: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/jul/21/facebook-p...
HN is good because of the moderation and 'niche' audience I think. Any place with a relatively specific topic and passionate userbase can either shift to very good or very bad, the decider is moderation.
My understanding on how to avoid it would be, if you see decisions from management that point in that direction, run. Or raise concern.
In the US, landlords would still pay property tax, but not income taxes if they didn't collect any income. Things might get complicated if you rent significantly below market rates though I'm not sure about that.

The US, unfortunately, has an ethos that failure to pay rent is almost always an individuals personal failure. This makes it culturally acceptable (generally) to evict someone who can't make rent because it is a moral failing of the renter (and not, say, the outcome of systemic failures beyond the renters control.) So while landlords probably benefit from getting a portion of their normal rent, they are under significant cultural pressure to evict people who can't pay.
I joined Twitter back in 2007. Early days. It was great as a micro-blogging platform. People mostly just logged about what was going on in their lives. Most already had a digital presence elsewhere as bloggers and such. And there was a lot of experimentation going on.

Then things picked up and there was a massive influx of people and companies. That's when things changed. In and of itself, the public debate isn't a bad thing: it's, above all, a function of a larger, more diverse audience trooping in one place. The fact of the matter is that Twitter, as a private company, never had any incentive to create the affordances to cater to the complexities and intricacies that come with hosting the public debate. On the contrary.

I just stopped using Twitter at the end of last year, for the sake of my own mental well being. That doesn't exclude me from being concerned or being reflective about the topics and current events that are on everyone's mind these days. Not being on Twitter helped me reclaim mental bandwidth to reflect on my own life, here and now, and allows me to consider the world in a critical and compassionate way without sapping my energy.
The vast majority of employees in the EU are not part of a union, it is around 10 - 15%. They get protection trough legislation from times unions were more common though.

Unions make sense for artists since the broad availability of art and entertainment is often hit or miss. Not the best works always win and if there is considerable success, income can get extremely high while others struggle to get by. Especially educational works do get paid poorly. These are essential services compared to another upper middle class manager from a consumer perspective.
Sure. I think you'll find that the anti-war left remained anti-war. Just like Trump and Cheney represent pretty different strains of conservatism despite both being on the right, the anti-war left is a different strain of progressivism from Democratic leadership.

Again - don't give in to the temptation of "the other side is bad." It's easy, it is often true because humans are bad in general, but it's not usually productive in accomplishing your goals, especially if there's a chance the other side shares those goals.

If I had to pick an example of the weak but controversy-raising cases the article brings up (I don't actually find those super convincing, myself, tbh), "WikiLeaks has letters from a couple of scientists internally raising the possibility that a strike that was already fairly controversial may have been even less justified than claimed even though the opponents of the strike are happy to acknowledge that the target of the strike was morally in the wrong, so progressives are hypocrites" seems like exactly the sort of thing he's talking about.
This apparently looks like an issue with their mumbai, indian data center where one of the node is located.
It seems like the interesting question is what happens after total authoritarianism. I know many here find the news out of China nightmarish but most of China is on the mainland and the mainland Chinese, while by no means flourishing in utopia, are pretty content on average compared to where they were in the past. This isn't meant to endorse China by any means but if the west is going to keep espousing the uplifting effects of democracy they're going to need some actual benefits to point to eventually since right now the main perk is friendlier trade relations. Latin American democracy is a joke because they love populists (no one actually studying them blames the intervention memes), the EU is rife with corruption and the U.S. is strong but you can be strong without being a democracy. So why should an aspiring African government, for example, strive for Democracy rather than persuing the Chinese model?

I live in the inner city of Grenoble, France, and briefly stayed in Paris too. Scooters are the worst because there seems to be no effective way to keep them out of pedestrian areas at night. I'd like to see studies of how many lost hours of sleep a single scooter ripping through a quiet night causes when it traverses the inner city here.

But I do love the new generation of electric scooters. They're great!
That's incorrect at least in the case of Chris Smalls he was a warehouse worker who was fired because of speaking out against COVID19 conditions at Amazon (and later subject to a smear campaign).

It probably doesn't make sense to compare country level averages to the pay off a single company famous for huge comp.
Do we include people like James Damore in that classification then? My impression is that we're all in agreement with this "workers right to speak out" until we find someone we don't particularly like the opinion of, then it goes out the window.

Interestingly, Visa and MasterCard have huge incentive to facilitate easier payments.

UPI has become so easy that I see people using it over credit/debit cards all the time.

In India, Visa and MasterCard responded with no-pin-code swipes for small transactions.

So it has (probably) caused some changes.
What problem are you hoping to solve through this?

We did it in Hong Kong. Over 30% of the population lives in virtually free housing rented from the government.

They don't have an incentive to work. They get to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world for free, without contributing.

Meanwhile, those who have a job slightly better than McDonald's are not eligible for this generous giveaway, and are punished by being forced to live in tiny private apartments that they are unlikely to ever afford to buy.

Is this what you consider justice? Punish the working class?

This is historical revisionism.

In '96 people were still talking about how Microsoft had failed to understand the importance of the internet, and whether Windows '95 would fix that. The '95 DOJ consent decree also looked set to potentially severely reign them in. Apple still looked like a possible contender.

OS/2 still looked like a possible contender - I remember being at trade shows at the time and seeing how hard OS/2 was pushed, at a time where Microsoft was still a small upstart that had only bypassed Commodore in revenues a few years prior (and speaking of Commodore, even in 95-97, several years after their bankruptcy, people were still looking at whether Escom and then Gateway would manage to resurrect Amiga), and there were lots of people convinced IBM would swat Microsoft away like a fly.

In the corporate space, options like DEC, Sun and SGI were still pushing into the workstation space at high pace and making inroads downwards into more regular workstations - I saw this first-hand in computer labs filled with cost reduced SGI Indy's and a bunch of DEC workstations at work, and lots of SUN workstations at places I contracted in those years.

Non-Windows, non-DOS machines were still everywhere in those years. It was unusual to find an office without a non-MS OS, because if nothing else there'd by a Mac for Quark Express or the like. And the presence of beachheads of non-MS OS's like that meant that whether or not MS could maintain its position was still not obvious.

More importantly: Giants had stumbled many times before. Most notably IBM, but the years before were littered with computer companies that had either died entirely or were shells of their former selves.
But also, Rosa Park was frustrated about that decision. She took Colvin into her youth group and forced her to repeat her story at every youth meeting. Intentionally pushing kids toward radicalism.

Yes, Colvin had less of chance to withstand massive pressure Parks was in after bus stand. But she wanted them to rally around Colvin already.
Personally I think it depends on how you view your job with respect to the remainder of your daily life.

To some, their job is the main source of fulfilment + a good proportion of their social circle. For others it's a means to an end so that they can fulfill their needs elsewhere in their own time.

The pros you listed are fantastic if you sit on the latter side of the spectrum, but if you really view your work as part of your identity then just being satisfied won't be enough
> there should be no maternity leave. zero.

He said as he goose stepped into a wall
Sure but 1) The chance of birth control failing is quite small (most people who take maternity leave did not become pregnant due to birth control failing) and usually can be detected if it does. 2) Abortions exist. 3) The positives and the potential negatives of an action should always be evaluated and the people committing said action should assume full responsibility for it.

I think the only developer market close to the US here is the financial sector in London. If you have solid experience in a desirable skill and finance experience you can get really good money. Outside that the pay is decent and I'm sure there are small pockets of specialists in small niches doing really well, but there's no FAANG level market.

> Wasm sandboxing is even safe to run in the same process as other code (at least modulo Spectre-type vulnerabilities)...

If you want strong security with this big a modulus you may have been looking for RSA. (ugh, sorry)

Spectre V1 (speculative bounds check bypass / type confusion) is basically game over for intra-process memory isolation without introducing expensive or complicated mitigations: speculation barriers at every branch, or a more optimized pass like Speculative Load Hardening (https://llvm.org/docs/SpeculativeLoadHardening.html) that can bring the overhead _down_ to 20-50%.

From what I've seen, the best understanding right now is that the process is the smallest defensible unit of isolation.

That's not to say that using WASM as an intermediate compilation target won't eliminate some threats! The runtime can definitely help to improve memory safety, for example. But if you care about confidentiality of the data in your process, any code that is untrusted enough to require sandboxing should also be run out-of-process, e.g. across an IPC boundary.
That’s definitely true, re: inline citations getting in the way. When I typeset, I typically have citations use the ^[1] form I described above (like on Wikipedia) to alleviate this, and typically also use a lighter font color to make them easier to ignore.
Breaking up US tech companies will cede power to their Chinese competitors. Alibaba will have the advantage.

And breaking up the phone company didn't improve anything. We just got AT&T again from their well-performing Texas shard. Companies need to be regulated to provide the services the author is looking for.

Not baked in. Also, unreliable and slow.
You just apply ? There are a lot of job boards & places to find remote jobs. I only work in CET and not all of them allow this. Company I work now for example has developers in different timezones. You will have a meeting once a week at 19-20 though.

UK is also much better and the timezone is ~same. I've mostly worked with US, UK, CA, IR (subsidiary of US).

An easier way is to focus your skills and specialize in, say, scalability/search-engine/low-level/ml. There will be less jobs, (compared to js), but you will have more leverage.
I'm not sure, but having eval on the RHS using $1, $2 vars as in Perl seems to be easier to use and remember. You can represent all se commands this way naturally: x a i d c

Structural regular expressions seem to be to me more like dynamic pattern matchers and parsers, such as in raku (perl6).
> Interestingly, it seems the US is almost unique in our mass deindustrialization

The UK has vast swathes of poverty in the deindustrialised north of England and other areas. Former mining and heavy industry towns that even today almost 40 years on from deindustrialisation are dominated by insecure, unskilled work and unemployment

1. It depends on the form of birth control. Fallibility varies widely from one form to another.

2. Last I checked, abortions are shockingly hard to come by in many parts of the US.

3. Women can be virtuously celibate and chaste and wind up pregnant due to being forcibly raped.

Sexual morality is and always has been a complicated matter. This won't be changing anytime soon.

Why is it do or die just because they can't make faster CPUs? AMD can't make them either. It's the end of an entire era technologically. We all knew this day would come.It's a hard problem that requires a whole new paradigm probably. Hopefully both AMD and Intel will have enough money to keep doing research by trying and failing with various radical approaches or we may never see faster CPUs again. Why would they need to worry about ARM? That is low power mobile devices, a sector they got out of a while ago.
High cost of labor as it's a rich country with an expensive currency, unions, and in some places, protective labor laws.

Fair point. Chomsky has a tendency to exaggerate, but it's a difference of degree.

"Continued low levels of inflation and inflation expectations have been a key support for healthy economic performance...Looking ahead, the members of the FOMC expect inflation to remain low and the economy to grow appreciably further. However, as I shall be discussing, the unusually good inflation performance of recent years seems to owe in large part to some temporary factors, of uncertain longevity... Atypical restraint on compensation increases has been evident for a few years now and appears to be mainly the consequence of greater worker insecurity... The low level of work stoppages of recent years also attests to concern about job security. " [1]

It is telling that Politifact left out that last sentence in its analysis of Chomsky's statement.

You could try Craft CMS. It has a UI layer for configuring your content and is much more flexible then the likes of Wordpress.

It’s got a nice publishing experience which makes it easy for clients and it has a GraphQL API built in so that you can send content to a mobile app. It’s not free but it’s a great CMS that isn’t focused solely on blog publishing.
I felt more prepared partly because early in my career I worked on control systems for industrial sterilization. So got to deal with people whose job it was to make sure nothing was alive after a product was sterilized. Nothing is important here because one thing you find is there is a huge variation in how tough germs are[1]. If you know anything, when you read what kind of virus covid19 is you think detergent works pretty good. Or better let whatever dodgy thing sit over night.

After that it's yeah avoid sharing air with people, if you have to. Take a page from gay men. Assume people are infected. So wear a mask and keep it short. Short because all these things have a dose threshold.

I have to admit given the above the whole which and what activity is safe vs unsafe[2] drives me insane. Because pathogens don't care about playing tennis, going on a date, your sisters baby shower. They have a route of infection and they'll exploit it.

> [School] should be left up to the parents to pay for

So you would enjoy living in a society were the children of the poor enter adulthood illiterate and completely uneducated, without the basic life skills necessary in a modern society. I think our worldviews are simply too different for us to come to an understanding here. All I can say is that you present yourself as a very unsympathetic person.
In the early 2010s I remember reading about a eye mask that detected when you were in REM sleep by the literal rapid movements of your eyeballs while you slept. When REM was sufficiently detected it would flash three red LEDs over your eyes. The idea being that in your dream you would see the three red LEDs faintly, and realise that you were in a dream.

I'm not sure if this actually works or how accurate it was however.
Assets + Liabilities + Equity = 0 is incorrect.

It's just simple basic maths formula, A = L + E so it's either 0 = L + E - A or A - L - E = 0, or A - L = E or A - E = L all stands true.
>Chomsky’s take on the substance of what Greenspan said seems reasonably on target.

Read the entire thing. It's not quite "pants on fire", its just not an exact quote. OP posting "explicitly" is incorrect since it's from Chomsky, however.
The issue was not so much the tax rate but the double taxation, iirc. Lower tax rates help bit isn't solving the underlying issue.
You are conflating innovation with disruption.

Space rockets - done before by the state. Commercialising it is disruption.

Electric cars - done before and lost in the market due to battery tech (lithium tech research has been funded also publicaly)

AWS - co-opting open source software and turning it into a service isn't exactly innovation. But scaling it up to such a degrees is market disruption.

You don't need huge amount of capital to be innovative, people naturally are. But you need a system to roll-out innovations and when you do this at scale, it becomes disruptive. VC and tech giant funding brings this forward but societal change is mainly driven by technology, not by capital.
Let's just be clear, as companies Twitter is much better than facebook. A lot of the "toxicity" hate against twitter had to do with people on the platform not the platform itself. That said, I hope mastodon improves quite a bit more to be competitive.
> why are they expected to spend more total money on you, than your equal who chose not to have a baby?

Because if that's the way human beings behaved, our ancestors would have died out as a species hundred of thousands of years ago and you wouldn't exist. You are entitled to your opinion of course, but you must recognize why the vast majority of voters are not okay with jeopardizing our species to save a few tax dollars?
What I find interesting about the ancestor cone, is that at some point, your ancestors will no longer be homo sapien, at some point they will no longer be recognizably human. At some point, not mammalian. And at some point, just ooze in the primordial swamp. Wow, that would be such awesome infographic to create. Let me think how to visualize that best!
> 3. Women can be virtuously celibate and chaste and wind up pregnant due to being forcibly raped.

Certainly but this is an extreme case that should be handled differently. How much % of the people getting paid a maternity leave do so due to rape?

Not sure about the context of the sibling posts (FU money might mean something different in SV) but within the FIRE community (UK atleast) FU money tends to refer to less money than full FIRE. FIRE means you never have to work again (normally 25x annual spending), FU money means you can quit in extreme circumstances and have enough money to tide over any job search (min of 6-12 months spending).
