That's a strange curve indeed (on the infographic).
It's all about finding the perfect work/life harmony, though. Everyone's lives have slowed down considerably, and in many ways work is a necessary and welcomed use of time. As long as you have enough time to spend with your loved ones and pursue your hobbies, working more may not be a bad thing.

My thoughts on work/life balance: https://gridology.substack.com/p/gridology-8-how-can-i-strik...
I don't expect this to be true in the short to medium term, as the large shift would take place in larger companies who have already attempted this and demonstrated quite clearly that they do not know how to outsource work to lower cost countries.

There are certainly opportunities where workers in developing countries can do the same job for substantially less money, but very few companies do the hard work of really integrating these workers with their existing teams so it's just colonialism 2.0 where westerners who are trusted by management are told to create robotic tasks for the cheap labor in such a way that no one can meaningfully fuck it up. It creates a predictable result.

On more of a 25-50 year perspective, it has always been impossible for the majority of the world to be lifted out of poverty without those people eventually competing with us. The 20th century economic advantage and resulting broad equality of prosperity in the US and western Europe was a historical fluke of right place, right time that will likely never be repeated. I expect developed countries to start looking a lot more like developing countries do now in terms of economic equality.

There’s a big difference between car culture and commuting though.

Having a car comes with a great deal of utility and freedom.

Commuting is almost entirely driven by city centers and population density that inflates real estate/rent costs so high that living out farther and driving in seems to not only make sense, but be the rational choice.

Aside from having a sales office in a densely populated area, there’s almost no real value to other functions of a business being located in the middle of a huge city.
They absolutely did. Compilation happens in a fraction of a second, it is fun to use. Refrain if you have to use Typescript at work, it will spare you a lot of frustration.
Your premise is very obviously false on the face of it: the notion that a company can own everything, always succeed, and generally dominate every major segment it enters.

Your criticism is that Microsoft isn't a $5+ trillion company, doesn't have five plus monopolies (desktop OS, mobile, browsers, search, and a few others that would go along with those positions including advertising), and basically isn't all knowing and all powerful.

What you're projecting is impossible of course. No company could ever accomplish all of those things. What you're holding up as a supposed indication of incompetence, is in fact unavoidable: failure will happen, you will not always win, your products will not always succeed, and most likely you will fail the majority of the time; it doesn't matter who you are, or how big you are.

How exactly does that help? You’re saying a low calorie, low protein, low carb diet makes you feel better? Where are you getting your energy from then?
I would rather pay 1.2 * $X now than $X/months per month over the lifetime of a product. It's not about the money for me, it's about having a fixed cost rather than an indefinitely recurring one that I have to continually decide if it is still giving me $X/mo in value and remember to cancel when I'm done. It's also about the sense of ownership I get over the product versus "this is something I'm renting" which, for me, is a big deal. I get that it is difficult to price in the cost of bug-fixes, but I consider that not my problem.

That said, support as a subscription (or alternatively, pay-per-issue) is totally fine by me. I'm also fine if new features are added to Version 2, and I later have to decide whether to upgrade or not.

And although it is not about the money for me, it frequently does pay off. I usually opt for the longest recurring subscription (if lifetime is not available) which usually has steep discounts and in the case of my XM radio... still enjoying that lifetime subscription.

The title is from the article, not the HN submitter. Clearly "What color is the Sun?" reflects the question they want the reader to have in mind, not the specifics of the question they bury down at the end.

So... I don't get it. Your point is that the article's interpretation is "right" because they purposefully designed the question to be confusing? Would you react the same way if you were reading an opinion poll that played the same trickery?

I mean, if they wanted a "correct" answer, why didn't they just ask "what color is sunlight?"
I also first tried retsina at Souvla. I don’t know what the bad stuff tastes like, but I liked the kind they had there. I now grab a bottle to take with me every time I get food to go.

There's some cryptographic work in this direction. PhotoProof allows a photographer to prove that the image they're presenting is, e.g., the cropped version of the true original image they took. Video is still way out there, but at least people are thinking about this.

I like the additional monitor on its side. Terminal window plus Telegram open in that, or a code editor with web browser on the horizontal screen. Even two 24" monitors side-by-side horizontal seems like a long way to go from one side to the other, the arrangement I have now seems very natural. Multiple workspaces on my Linux desktop really help as well.
I do this as well but I can get easily disoriented by the abrupt changes in the layout. Does that happen to you at all?

My comuite was 2 hours two work and 2 back, getting up at half 5 every day.

Since the office is now WFH I get more sleep and am far more productive.

I two find myself doing 1-2 hours extra a day though I am trying to reign that back in.

I had always said at work I am just as productive at home as I am in the office and this lock down gave me the chance to prove it
With all the energy drained from job +commute it can be hard to have much left to care about the planet and our community. It’s easier to be angry and isolated and fall back on tribal stereotypes and assume someone else will fix climate change and other global problems. With more time and energy, it’s easier to participate.

"I personally believe government should not allow those types of lies or fraud or child pornography [to be hidden with encryption like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger]."

The fix could also be nothing more than just disable the DSP, a specific functionality or in some other means limit it considerably (for example disabling or heavily restricting its DMA).

So a fix might not be a fix for all, if this bug is in some obscure codec or some extreme edge case that no one uses the fix might be painless, Google might even find a way to soft patch it via GPS but if it’s not then you might have devices either losing key functionality or becoming vulnerable to a pretty severe exploit.

Another question of exploitation is how much hand crafting is required for the payload and does the payload survive common encoders as most social media platforms re-encode or transcode media that is uploaded or shared through their platform even WhatsApp and other messaging apps do it by default (tho those do it to save bandwidth).

If the exploit payload survives common encoders which are used by social media platforms it would be quite a disaster once people understand how it works and can be exploited.

The patch itself also might be bypassable Apple for example fixed an exploit using SEPROM and shortly after that exploit was working again by bypassing the SEPROM boot.
I suspect one reason he's doing it is for the super-slim cabling.

You can get super-slim ethernet cables, but they have really fine wiring and don't go very far. But with fiber you can go vast distances with no problem. You can even get GBICs that will take you 10km.

I love WFH but I found myself having serious productivity issues because I'm an ADHD guy and I'm having procrastination issues, and WFH makes it even more serious.

At first, I was struggling because I always wanted to open YouTube or just stay there and thinking about random things and basically doing nothing for hours. Eventually I have to secretly compensate with my own time regretfully.

Then I found when every time I compensate the work at night I'm pretty productive because I'm under enough pressure to keep me focus and not overthinking things. At that moment, I realized I can swap the time slots to maximize everything.

Now I usually try to start working in the morning, as long as I'm productive, and setup a timer to keep tracking on how long did I work. When I found myself stop being productive and my mind is wandering, I would pause the timer and just relax - do what ever I want, just not struggling anymore. When I feel I'm ready to work, I would go back to work, and repeat. The most important part is, if according to the timer I only worked 5 hours today and I ought to work 8 hours, I would start working no later than 9pm (given I usually slept at 12pm). It gives me enough time to finish my stuff, while I would unconsciously understand it's the deadline thus it gives me the pressure to focus and being productive.

It's pretty effective for me, and it helped me being able to keep being productive without struggling. Some people may argue it's not good working ethic, but as Martin Fowler suggested "Don't tell your manager (you're refactoring)" (because refactoring would be a part of developing). Usually in the office, there were times I have to force myself working in low productivity mode. I'm refactoring my time to keep both my productivity sanity.

Yes, the 3GPP or ITU standards can make for a dour read. Probably best to look for sources that you find engaging. You can start with something that gives you the basics, and/or just go straight to the vendors ─ who provide a plethora of white papers, case studies, industry insights etc.

Given the opportunity though, it still seems like a risk well worth it.

Businesses rarely (if ever) fail because of an acquisition gone wrong. But a acquisition gone right can have great returns.

If Instagram flopped when Facebook bought it, Facebook would still be doing just fine. But since it did go well.. yeah.

So I believe that it's still probably in the investor's best interest if MS does the deal even if it's only like a 35% chance that it isn't a complete failure.
> In that order too (ie, Reddit is the least useful).

For me, it's the exact opposite. In the case of Reddit, you can filter it down to only subreddits you are interested in, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio significantly.

Twitter would be the first thing I would get rid of tbh. It encourages shallow retorts and memes more than anything else. The only thing I still get from it is news, but Reddit gives you that with potentially interesting discussions on top.

Rural Netizen here. I can confirm that caps are very, very real. Even with more recent plans, the cap is still only 250GB. The same applies to AT&T's "Fixed Wireless" service, iirc. I'm not sure though which category that falls under since it's neither cellular, mobile, or satellite.
It's not 100% about money for the employer, either. Human emotions are real and managers aren't just blindly following game theory.

1. Trust no one. The Thai madam was an informant, and the contact she introduced as another pimp was an undercover NCIS agent.

2. I don't get the impression these guys were making enough money via sex trafficking to make it worth risking their military careers AND criminal charges. Probably just enjoying their "pimp" social status, and the easy access to additional sex, and not thinking much past that.

3. I don't understand why people insist on illegal acts such as holding someone's passport for leverage. If they aren't enthusiastic about making money just throw them out, kick them out of your stable, and make preparations to replace them. Some women just aren't worth the hassle; their bad energy makes them a headache, and they can poison the vibe of your whole team. Cutting one loose early is better than trying to wring additional mileage out of her. A lot of guys just attract "bad energy" women to begin with though...
FWIW, I didn't intend it as a personal attack in any way. The goal of my comment was to share some counter-intuitive personal wisdom.

The author's comment showed an uncommon lack of empathy for the other parties. Many people (me included) have seen that same quality in ourselves, and have found our own suffering to be a remedy to that.

When writing HN comments, I often struggle to find the right verbosity level. Perhaps in this case I didn't explain myself well enough.

@dang: Does this address your concern, or is even my clarified comment a problem? Just trying to make sure I'm clear on what you found objectionable.
Have you read any other wired articles in the last 10 years? They're all like this.
We’ve done the social lunch thing on video chat and while it has been nice it can also add to overall fatigue of being in camera and in front of a computer all day.

> This is obviously false reductio ad absurdum given the existence of managers doing exactly that right now.

Managers don’t know the details of any system unless they wrote it when they were an engineer (and it hasn’t been modified). They are trusting their engineers’ interpretation of the system, which is a game of telephone up the management chain.

> CEOs are not testifying to congress about exploiting side channels in hypervisor memory management. On one level, they're offering industry viewpoints on policy issues; on another, they're actors in a political game.

The largest account takeover incident recently was an unsophisticated social engineering attack executed by a 17 year old.

I’d argue most system and data vulnerabilities aren’t sophisticated or complicated yet companies like the idea of this because it makes them seem more improbable.

Vulnerabilities happen because security guarantees and understanding cost time and time is limited when shipping a product faster than a competitor.

In reality if Congress wants an expert they need to have a team of engineers at the company performing audits and code reviews.

They sourced a lot of chips from MediaTek for their mid-end / low-end phones. It is likely that they are going to collaborate with MediaTek for high-end chips or source from Qualcomm.
> The status update aspect of it could be automatized from the task management tooling, people reach out for help/input as needed and don't wait for the next stand up, socialize outside of these allocated slots, etc.

People rarely understand the point of agile and, specifically, standups. Using it as a daily check in, especially as status updates, is contrary to agile's intentions. The real purpose is to make sure that people on the team frequently expose problems. If people are already doing that consistently, then standup as a practice is fairly moot.
