Your post speaks with an all-encompassing reach that remote doesn't work. This probably annoys the people who really swear by remote. Just like how all the people waxing lyrical about remote life annoys you.

I disagree with your assertion:

> You lose the one huge opportunity in adult life for making new relationships - and that's at work, in the office.

My own personal experience has been that every 2-3 years I establish a new network of friends. This has all been outside of work and tends to correlate with my personal passion of the time period. By comparison, I have formed considerably fewer work friends.

Of this "churn" (terrible word), 10-20% tend to end up closer friends/friends for life.

On the other hand, I find I have far less in common with most my colleagues. I have found maybe a 1/50 to 1/20 chance of having a meaningful connection with most my colleagues, especially if you set aside professional passions (ie software / startups).

I have worked at everything between megacorp and startup in a garage. I have also worked remotely.

While I like the social aspect of working in an office and building trust and relationships with members outside of my immediate team's interface (eg HR, Finance, Marketing) I also hate working in an office with noise and distractions when I want to focus. I also think commuting is the greatest waste of life there can be.

I personally embrace the optionality remote life brings - I can go abroad for a month or three without needing to take a sabbatical for instance. I can live near a good school without travelling for 2 hours to get to an office.

>financial pain of having poor security is well understood at the leadership level they will never change direction.

is there financial pain? Is zoom losing money over these security issues? or is paying to fix them going to cost more than the offset in losses they would've had?
Even if they're being a bit unreasonable, the momentary satisfaction of telling them to F Off is probably not worth the risk of it coming back to bite you some day.
This sounds like a good addition to the incentives system.
I agree with majority of things you mention but wanted to point a couple of things out:

> There is a huge market for security engineers
If you have a look on Linkedin for "Application Security Engineer" jobs in London, UK you would find there are not that many, some companies don't even have AppSec Engineers.

> Does the company have an established security program? If not, do they have a roadmap for making one?

For less mature company or company just starting out AppSec could be the force that creates and implements a security roadmap, adopting OWASP SAMM or BSIMM
My grandma runs Linux on her desktop (I set her up with Fedora).

GitHub hosts lots of FLOSS, of course. The platform itself is fully proprietary, although apparently they plan to liberate some amount of the core. That's why snowdrift.coop choose gitlab.com, although even that's a compromise (we used to use their githost.io offering so we could stay on gitlab CE, but that service closed down and we had to weigh staying on fully-FLO tools vs network effects).
I'm adding this under my own post because it turns out this is false, and I just parroted something that wasn't true:

Apple does not keep the commission when an app is refunded.
> Something no one ever talks about with UBI is how the effects will be eliminated in a few years.

No, this is something someone raises in literally every conversation, without any support.

> The very things poorer people would buy from it would get more expensive by the UBI proportion,

The argument you are making is that redistribution regardless of magnitude cannot affect buying power, even if the after-redistribution distribution is perfectly flat, people (at least those coming up from below) will retain exactly their pre-redistribution buying power.

> UBI does not create more wealth

Not as a first-order effect, no; it's first-order effect is redistribution.

> It just means everyone gets X+$1000 more tokens for the same wealth/goods.

Only if it is fully monetized, which doesn't seem to be anybody’s plan. If any of it is financed by traditional fiscal means (taxes and/or debt) it's redistribution, not flat addition.
To be fair you say "our gut feeling" as if everyone shares the same 'gut feeling', i.e., that Apple would not do such a thing.

On reading the original post my gut feeling believed that this could be or is quite likely true. Why? Because it aligns with the continuous declining customer experience I've had with them for the last 5-7 years. Examples include declining product quality, difficulty getting them to service properly, getting busted for impairing performance on older hardware (planned obsolescence) all that feels like tall poppy syndrome, dark patterns and arrogance.

> "And this satellite that Airbus will build - I like to call it 'the first interplanetary cargo ship', because that's what it will be doing. It's designed to carry cargo between Mars and Earth,"

It has nothing to do with fanboy or not. I’m sure there are tons of challenges involved in making this happen, but I just don’t think a cargo satellite is fundamentally very exciting.

Having a human in orbit of mars would make the whole process of retrieving rock samples orders of magnitude easier.
That's a really bad reason to keep poor people poor and a very good reason to crack down on the behaviour of rich people.

I was watching Ken Burns' Baseball many years ago and this reminded me of an interesting bit of trivia:

Many years ago, fans were allowed in the outfield at baseball games and were held back by a rope. A home run was when the ball flew (or rolled) past the rope.

Since the "line" was just a flexible rope, when the home team was batting the crowd would push the rope forward to help raise the odds of there being a home run. When the away team was batting, they would pull the rope back to lessen the odds.

Also, reminds me of the old Gatorade commercials with Old Shaq were he talks about how basketball changed (in the future) and he says "And then they put in the moving backboard..."

I second everything you said above and would like to add that I think another quality security engineer needs to bring is "human skills", by no means I am saying technical knowledge isn't important but human skills are equally important, as part of a job is to interact, teach, persuade people.
I have never engaged in any kind of professional legal training; I am most definitely not a lawyer.

That being said, my understanding of 'notwithstanding' in this context would imply that Apple reserves the right to retain its commission even when they refund the price to the End-User.

I would like to read flagged comments, is it possible?
That will absolutely happen sometimes the question is how common it will be vs how many other people will be able to use those resources to get themselves into a better situation.
That just means that UBI does not replace a welfare system. You still need to have programs that provide a safety net for people who are irresponsible with their income, or just fall on hard times to the level that UBI isn't sufficient to dig them out.
If people had UBI they would be able to spend that money moving if they wanted to, and they'd have money to travel and visit family further away.
You have to think of it in a deeper context than it being binary. It has very similar properties to oil. It's also fixed, but technology has done some phenomenal things to extract more of it with greater efficiency. The same is true for land and housing. UBI, self driving cars, and a greater shift away from working in offices are all going to change how we live and the type of land we will want to live on.
That’s like saying “spending $30,000 for a license plate holder sounds like a joke”. This machine is being built for the information needed to make real reactors.

> Why wouldn't rent seekers - both landlords and more abstract rent-seekers - just raise prices?

Why doesn't every change in income level and distribution just change price levels of goods demanded by different groups resulting in no change in relative buying power? Several reasons:

(1) No one has access to idealized monopoly rents, and

(2) (relative to redistribution) Very few goods are demanded only at one point in the income distribution.

That popup will only appear if your account has already been flagged by Apple for refund abuse. It certainly does not appear every time.

They have an "I would like to cancel this purchase" option in the EU for a reason, which gives you an unconditional refund within 14 days as long as you didn't get that popup when purchasing.

I remember Nottingham Forest (my team) had the widest pitch, and Arsenal (famous for playing dull boring football) had the narrowest.

However, the really interesting thing was I remember hearing an interview with an Arsenal player (possibly Lee Dixon) saying he knew just how to hit a soft pass into a shallow groove that ran along the side of the pitch - it looked like the ball was going to go out of play but it would catch this groove and move up the pitch instead.
By chance, I know the company well as it is based in my region, as well as knowing a bit the "owner brothers" and their family. Myself and people whom I know have worked for them (in the begging and later) don't have anything but the words of praise for them. They have built the company on hard work and innovation in a country that doesn't favor and sometimes punishes entrepreneurship. Furthermore, instead of moving the company to some place more favorable, they decided to stay and continue providing job opportunities for people in the region they were born and raised in.

The popup will appear after approving the Face ID prompt IIRC, as an additional confirmation before finalizing the transaction, but as I said it only starts appearing if Apple detects refund abuse and flags your account.

>If a person consistently chooses to buy TVs instead of food, I think that strongly speaks for mental problems.

That's not right. We're living in a world like this. When people cite stats that show x% of people living paycheck to paycheck that is almost guaranteed to be due to over-consumption and consumer debt if your household income is above, say, $50-60k/year. At that level, you have over-consume to have nothing left over.
I think the suggestion that "universities could change their hiring policies" is a very good recommendation. There are a lot of problems in academia (bad research, lack of diversity, pressure to publish) that could be reduced if universities changed their hiring policy to something further away from the metric of (number of papers published since receiving PhD) / (time since receiving PhD). Of course no university hires explicitly on that metric, but many of the metrics they use are not far from that, mixing in quality of journals and norms for the field, etc.

Each of the suggested actions, taken together, would seem to have a very positive improvement on the status quo. Would you care to explain why the suggested actions would be "somewhere between ridiculous and useless?"
I don't have time today to engage in this discussion again but you seem to be taking a lot of over-stepping inconvenient aspects to your own argument. You didn't really explain any further, you just kind of said "no". I'm curious to hear the real distinction because I'm not seeing it. I don't think your rulings over what is "retaliation" versus "legal retaliation" versus "consequence" are correct.

It's good to see that a chunk of HN (the ones who upvote/downvote, including myself) see that HN is formed by humans and therefore it has its own biases and that fake news aren't an external evil that can't just appear here.

That being said, if we dig a bit this also shows how Apple is being seen as a bit of a villain by many people (again, including myself) nowadays and had no problems believing Apple was doing this because it pretty much aligns with their IMHO abusive practices when it comes to grabbing money from devs.

Apple will keep selling and having some bad PR isn't going to affect sales much I guess but I can't stop thinking that some day some competitor will show up, or some law will change and they'll be forced to lift the app store restrictions and most of the devs will fly. Maybe it's time for Apple to start considering reducing the greediness with the people who make their platform attractive when these kind of news pass all filters, even in communities like this.
I find it very sad that we live in a society where there appears to be no way of gracefully changing fundamental paradigms.

Money was invented in a time of scarcity and it was a very useful tool then. In some situations it still is today, but for many things we have more than enough for everyone, so maybe those should be provided without the need to go through the money system.

Anyway, I don't know what would work, but it still bothers me that we don't try to constantly improve our systems and if necessary change them in radical ways. We just implement systems that then become controlled by a few people who greatly benefit from it and thus have no incentive to change it.
To top that off Ubutu Kylin is an official Ubuntu flavor https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu%20Kylin and the package in question is specific to their UKUI desktop environment, not something that would be part of a default Debian install. I'm not sure why they want to upstream it to Debian (was Ubuntu Unity upstreamed as well?) but surely it would be harder to backdoor as a Debian package than if it's distributed via their own servers.

@DyslexicAtheist, could you explain why you wanted to signal-boost this particular person's opinion on the package? Is there more to the story that we're not seeing here?
Thing is, poor people would be _more_ at the mercy of the politicians. Especially at the start, when UBI will still be 'novel'. Because the politicians will be able to change UBI, and poor people would at some point start depending on UBI.

When the government can just take your money out from under you, that starts making politics quite important.

Do note that there will need to be provisions for changing the amount of UBI. At the very least to index it to inflation. Heck, refusal to raise UBI for inflation for long enough would already screw over the people who depend on it.

> People are very productive and a lot of them actually prefer working from home.

But later:

> So as we are doing this, we’ve run a series of surveys of employees asking things like, ‘How productive do you feel like you’ve been?’ ‘What can we do to make you more productive?’

So you concluded that your workers are productive, but you want to run a survey to find out how productive are they??? WTF?
Good point, haven't thought of that. I guess Instagram is still in trouble because of the loss of eyeballs to TikTok. I've seen a few famous TikTokers advertising products at the end of their video. Maybe they could require taking a cut there. I guess they'll figure something out, that's why they hired all those facebook executives.
While voting is now getting considered a statement of ideological alignment (see Reddit banning people based on their vote for unsavory posts, and people in Germany being prosecuted for 'liking' a violent crime), my vote on the original post was to signal my interest, encourage posts of that sort on this website and to raise awareness, to encourage potential corrections.
I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're completely right. If your account is flagged, they will show an additional popup like this: https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/01/b7lgr...

It seems pretty random when it's applied though. Some got it after just one refund, meanwhile I've had multiple refunds, and I got that popup once for a $1 purchase but then never again and I was able to request a refund again.

This site is really hard to grok and navigate. Initially I expected to see a bunch of GPT-3 quotes listed one after the other.

Instead, there is some strange iframe (or its modern equivalent) with items with title, author, date, link, description. What are these items? Released apps? Experiments? Demos? If I click one, I get a popup window. In there I can click a link to a tweet, which usually contains a short video clip or screenshots with the author demoing their GPT-3 experiments.

After this there is another box that contains tweets themselves. Are these the same tweets as the links above? Or is this just watching for hashtags?

Maybe I'm just getting old, but this is confusing as hell. Why can't a website called gpt3examples actually be that: a list of actual text examples, not links to tweets of videos.
Just a tip, when you want to correct people. Don't end with:

I expected to hate WFH with a passion before the pandemic. The reality turned out to be very different from my expectations. I expected to be constantly distracted by the bookshelves, large living room and gym equipment but to my surprise my personal productivity went through the roof and I've never felt better, both physically and mentally. I genuinely fear the day I have to go back to the office(won't be this year by the looks of it).

Of course that isn't the case for everybody: people with families and especially little children seem to be struggling massively.

But there is a noticeable shift it appears. Recruiters seem to be changing their model considering how many companies are becoming remote first. My mail is over-flooded with job offers from every corner of the earth, all of which contain the word "remote" in them. And I get round 20 of them each day. I would have never thought that such a day would come. The black swan strikes again.
And if you expect talent to seek out those companies, they're in for a rude surprise.
If you post anything that aligns with republicans on this forum (true or not), it has a very high chance of being downvoted or not upvoted.
Rent is based on demand and competition in the market, which is why it reflects consumers' incomes. That's the entire problem with UBI: it will just result in widespread inflation, in housing and every other market. The only way to keep rents from rising so rapidly is for people to be able to own the properties where they live.

(This does, indeed, fall under "some form of socialism" that the author deems magically "unworkable." Simply a tax code of affordable taxes for personal property - i.e. a home you own and live in - and high taxes for private rental property used to make a profit, with the intent that it should make financial sense to sell to an owner who will live in it.)

I guess private tech companies are called "startups" for very long time until either they go public or they are so big and old it doesn't make sense to call them startups anymore.

One example would be Kingston Technology which is private and over 30 years old with $10bn of revenue.
