China has been pilfering intellectual property from labs & private companies via APTs for the last couple of years: what are the handful of parties who care about patents going to do - write a strongly worded letter? If China decides it wants to get the latest ARM design and/or ISA in the future, do you doubt they can acquire them? Sure, they won't be able to call it "ARM" but you can bet it will be compatible[1].

I'm not sure whether that was sarcasm, but the US isn't doing great at drawing strength from diversity either at the moment. (It may still be doing better than Ethiopia, but the US is not a shining example of how to do it, at least right now.)
As a young guy who was a full time remote worker for about 6 months, and also very honest with myself: I was more distracted as a remote employee. I wasn't as focused as I needed to be and when I was on site working next to the guy I reported to I was much more productive.

I do agree the main problem is the influence on children.

As for the adults, I do believe the biggest takeaway is not advertising. It is the effect on information propagation. I have seen people close to me share clearly fake information that wouldn't have made the cut on most traditional media outlets.

People are giving way too much credibility to information that cannot be traced with a proper source. In the past people relied on the media to do the research, as biased as they may be. Now this research phase has disappeared.
I've had a similar experience- something sold for a deep discount (MIDI controller), received something else entirely (cheap bluetooth speaker), and was told to keep it instead of sending it back and sell it to recoup my costs while they refund 15%. I recognized it as a scam at that point and saw that the email I paid to was different than their support, and when I replied asking for 100% it was yet another email.

Luckily for me, taking it up with PayPal got me my 100% refund, but I was nervous while they went through the motions of asking the seller to settle up with me, which I had to approve or reject, and then PayPal would review further. Screenshots of everything, showing the weird random email addresses, and the fact that their website didn't exist anymore landed in my favor.
I despise working from home, and think my productivity has taken a massive hit as a result. Believe it or not I like being able to switch between a work and home environment, and find it vastly improves my mood and productivity.
Your comment amounts to namecalling, and offers nothing of substance to respond to.
LOL - as a data analyst - I would love to know how they measured this and what their confidence interval is. It's interesting they didn't share any percentages. And it's interesting that they didn't talk about weekend work at all. A lot of people where I work are working shorter days, but also working a little bit on the weekends.

I realize JPM is a pretty big company - but the way this works at a lot of companies is - someone has a narrative they want to tell, does shitty analysis until they find some data point that fits their narrative, and then the company makes decisions based on that.

How do you boil productivity down to a metric that's easy to even discuss? Anyone can get more work done by performing it at a lower quality.

Even if this was just for bankers that have a list of tickets to close - are we just talking about sheer number of tickets closed? Is the quality for each ticket going up or down?

The correct way to reason about this is stochastically. Facebook/unchecked mass communication increases the rate and chance that resentment turns into a mob or violent action. It's rather meaningless to debate the causality of individual cases, but more important to look at the effect in a broad sense.

Also the question to your answer is likely both, as in there's a feedback loop between real world violence, causing more conflict on social media, fuelling yet more violence.
Not to anyone on the receiving end.
Fun fact: You can do relational algebra on plain text data (e.g., csv, as well as output of commands like ls, etc.) using only shell + piping + well-known shell tools.
There's no real reason you can't have sum types in a relational database, this just goes back to our current crop of RDBMSs being quite old and predating the current emphasis on strong typing. I suspect a modern relational database with an easier way define complex types (not writing a plugin) would be very popular, but the amount of work required to make something like that is immense
I don't know if it's better or worse. As I said, there are many ways to think about it. I do think that explicitly creating 2 different classes of employees probably wouldn't even make it to my short list.

As well, I don't think that the early employees, who are already golden-handcuff-d (based on the growth in their valuation), are likely to be leaving Brex based solely on their salaries being adjusted if they explicitly choose to move.

Honestly, I think the actual adjustment is likely to be a moot point, at least in the short term. Based on my experience chatting with people at Brex 18-ish months ago, my impression was that everyone there was very much in the "SF-or-bust" camp. Not only did it feel like they were very against remote, it felt like they were against people who didn't explicitly want to move to SF. I suspect that a majority of their staff that is already in SF is not going to permanently move out of the city in the next year or so. In 4 years? Who knows, but it's kind of why this 4-year window feels odd.

I’m in my early 30’s and honestly the world has been on fire since always. First the Balkan wars next door when I was a kid, then 9/11, then Afghanistan, then ISIS, then Trump, then Covid.

Fuck it, I can’t think about all that. Focus on what’s in your sphere of control and ignore the rest.

March pulled me back into a vicious news cycle after I learned to ignore the news 10+ years ago. It was terrible.

Now I’m back to mostly ignoring the news and life is better.

I tried running nextcloud on an rpi. It just doesn't cut it. I had the 4gb model and nextcloud runs but its a horrible experience. You go on the web UI and click a photo and it takes 10 seconds to load. Moved my server to a ryzen 5 based setup and now everything is instant. I'm not sure what the limiting factor on the rpi was because the ram and cpu usage was low. Perhaps it was memory or storage speed.

I read Shoshana Zuboff's book Surveillance Capitalism, which was the jolt I needed to quit Facebook. Prior to those reveals, I was aware that the FB experience was more dark than fun; the reveals of the exploitation just nudged me into leaving, because I don't like being exploited.

Then I found and joined HN. It's a better experience. I think the guidelines make it so. They aren't 100% followed 100% of the time, but the intent makes HN a vastly better experience than FB.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

> Still, she did not believe that the failures she observed during her two and a half years at the company were the result of bad intent by Facebook’s employees or leadership. It was a lack of resources, Zhang wrote, and the company’s tendency to focus on global activity that posed public relations risks, as opposed to electoral or civic harm.

> “Facebook projects an image of strength and competence to the outside world that can lend itself to such theories, but the reality is that many of our actions are slapdash and haphazard accidents,” she wrote.

> “We simply didn’t care enough to stop them”

This is the key takeaway, IMO. Not as an excuse for Facebook, but as an indictment of "slapdash" information technology in general, particularly social media. It's becoming more and more clear that "bringing the world closer together" is a pandora's box, one that Facebook is not equipped (motivated?) to deal with the consequences of. Maybe no company ever could be. Maybe this is simply a thing that shouldn't exist.
And hey, if you had started at Brex prior to Sept 1st, you wouldn't even have to game the system. But your coworkers _would_ (and would also likely be at risk of being terminated for cause if they got caught, not to mention state-tax issues).
Ask HN: Is Google Getting More Aggressive with Modals?

Facebook itself, the corporation, is global political manipulation.

Both https://joebiden.info/ and https://kamalaharris.info/ are blocked on Facebook, and on Instagram which is owned by Facebook. The block is silently applied to private messages on Instagram, with the sender seeing it go out but the recipient never getting it.

Facebook isn't turning a blind eye. Facebook is actively participating, by purposely blocking one side.

I have taken classes in Physics, Math, and CS in a top 20 ranked US university and a university ranked in the 200s. The difference in teaching skill and the difficulty in the materials taught for the same course is massive and very noticeable.

This is not even to go into the research that the professors do and the academic levels that the students are in. The difference is huge.
I agree which is why I didn't get my title by leveraging those things. Layering social graces on top of technical capability and delivering solidly on some larger scale projects both by planning, leading and executing them, however, will impress. I've been responsible for projects that have closed multi million dollar deals and lead full team rebuilding and system re-architectures.

Distractions are orthogonal to space.

It's generally not productive to play "who has it worse".
I am not talking about intelligent design.

The beauty of evolution is that this is a process without designers. There is simply no need for them.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I honestly can't wait to get back to the office (or any other workspace that isn't my home). I really hate working at home. I don't have enough space or privacy, it becomes far more difficult to partition work and play when they occur in the same spaces / I find myself distracted more easily, and there is no one to socialize with when I'm sitting by myself every day.

Could I remedy all of these problems with extra effort? Sure, but it's far easier for me to simply go to the office.
What else do you want? If your ISP blocks incoming connections then thats the end of the story. The answer is either complex things like tor or switching ISP.

Elizabeth Holmes was worth $5 billion at one point.

They'll take every dime this guy has, if it turns out to be a fraud. The Feds will particularly aggressively investigate such a prominent case. Such public cases make the Feds look bad (from their point of view), especially if they don't get the people responsible, so they tend to pursue them rigorously. They'll inevitably find something he did wrong, and he'll end up in the same spot that Holmes is in, spending all his time trying to weasel out of a prison sentence.

I'm not nearly as productive in my 1 bedroom apartment as I am at the office.

I try to only go to my desk during work hours but it's where my dining area would be, so while cooking I like to browse the internet/watch Youtube on my ultrawide monitor. At the same time, it's a small apartment, so the dining area is part of my living room.

This means I'm in the same room for pretty much the entirety of the day. I try to avoid going into my bedroom outside of night time sleep hours so that I can at least keep that space as more of a nighttime only relaxing one.

I desperately need a completely separate space. I was already planning to move to a new, nicer apartment this year, and because of COVID WFH I'm considering getting a 2br and taking the hit on the additional cost just so that I can have an entirely separate office space.

But regardless, while I don't mind WFH once or twice a week, I really prefer a separate office a majority of the time. I need and value the separation.

Docker on ARM is not a smooth experience. Hardly anyone builds containers for ARM so you end up either building everything yourself or finding weird -arm versions of popular containers.

Well I for long thought that taping out own CPU chips, even on Amazon's scale, wasn't that cheap.

The time of Intel demanding obscene prices for high core count server CPUs is at least 2 years since passed.

I was thinking if it still makes sense economically for Amazon to continue developing, and buying their own CPUs given that.
Disagree, many (most?) things worth doing and doable take more than a month to get used to or to get to the good part. I’ve definitely not “hit my stride” until month 8 or so of certain projects of which I adore once I do. Keep at it so long as you believe in the mission.
Don't forget extra cupholders. Also, the American version could afford to lose a few pounds.
At this point I actually prefer the cocoa methods of creating UI. This kind of tech also affects the architecture of the app that is utilising it - SwiftUI and the like seem to be quite prescriptive in terms of application structure, whereas with cocoa I feel that I have a lot more possibilities.
I felt the same. I'm sure JD had particular results in mind. When you have that much juice you tend to get what you want.

It'll be interesting to see the social media reaction once it breaks that employees are being ordered back en mass, no opt out, etc.
Ask HN: How to build a network for Investor-Operator networks?
Venture Firms are famously known for having highly exclusive networks of their own and that is part of their identity(brand). It takes years to build that network, and most are not willing to share their connections publicly. Visible Connect[1] and Angel List seems to be building such a platform for angels and venture firms.
How would you get around getting these kind of customers without a network in VC?
Why isn't there a global scale network for Venture Firms or a YC for multiple Firms?

Hi tarsius, I should have said "a PR" singular. I'm sorry but I did find your reply to me in the tiny PR I submitted to be dismissive and unfriendly. I love magit and think your work is fantastic and I don't have any reason to justify extending from that anecdote to any generalization about your maintenance style. Sorry to subject you to an anonymous and undocumented public criticism but the fact is that it was an anecdote that was in my brain about my recent experiences with emacs development.
I disagree with the part that if you're doing it for the reward then it won't get anywhere. Mainly because of what you say: we do what we do to make a living.

However, I believe that statement applies more to the vision/philosophy of our projects. A professor once recommended us to set ourselves an unreachable goal to keep driving your project/company/employees forward towards a common goal. They gave us an example of Bimbo –a Mexican food industry company– that states as its philosophy: "Feed, delight and serve our world, this is our philosophy."
They'll never really be able to feed the entire world but they're sure as hell going for it. Though whether a such big corporation's real interest is doing so is another discussion altogether. Even if that was their original intention.

I read this article and think about my goals to become a Game Developer. I take the advice of setting expectations for a couple of years down the road as a way to keep learning and investing the time that's required to become what I wish to become.
I shouldn't be naive to apply this to a particular game project at the earlier stages of my career. In my case I should take on multiple projects that will broaden my knowledge regarding game design, architecture, project management, etc.

Article gave me much more to think about than I though it would.

I prefer arrangements where I go in to work ~80% of the time. (e.g. ~1 day each week WFH of my own choosing, completely spontaneous day-of decision.)

That being said, I don't think my productivity has taken a hit during this long period of WFH. If anything, I think I'm being more productive. I do miss the social interaction, though. That's why I prefer the 80/20 arrangement.
I've officially reached zero productivity today.

I'm sick of being stuck in my tiny condo with the noise from neighbors and zero work/life balance. The constant streams of asks on Slack that wake me up in the morning and keep me up at night.

I'm making more in the stock market than my job.
Thats .. an adjustment. It really doesn't tell you if the work inputs allocated to young vs old groups shifted before and after covid. Also, I question the validity of the Prod( ) function as, like much other information work, the productivity yields on different timeframes and can be very difficult to correlate inputs vs outputs.

i think anonymity is a huge curse i think if we can do away with anonymity then we can begin to rebuild democracy and of course ultimately it comes down to all of us
ultimately we need to learn to be responsible not to insult not to propagandize and i think that will only come just as we look at each other as physical people in a place like this that will only be that will only eventually be realized if we can do away with anonymity
so a new social contract new ways of reinventing democracy through analog and a more creative and responsible regulatory attitude towards um to to big social media and internet companies
