FWIW, Canada's leave is not mandatory to take, and employers aren't beholden to continue providing compensation. The parent on leave receives Employment Insurance from the Feds.

The restriction on employers is that the parent on leave must be able to resume their employment after leave unless their position has been removed entirely, and even so that can cause problems for employers.
The USA has more freedom of speech that many countries, but its heavily biased on certain ways. To show violence on TV is Ok, but to show a naked body makes people go all full censorship.

That a nip slip in 2004 generated news around all the country and intensified fines on "indecency" is just plain ridiculous. That level of censorship is very difficult to justify when other countries are much more comfortable showing nudity.

So, the USA is not in a bad place when come to censorship. But, it has a long way to improve.

The other poster explained well why mega cities in fact make a ton of sense for the health of the planet and the ability to plan public transportation and other services.

Europe has done significantly better with the pandemic so your point doesn’t make sense. The walkability of their towns and cities is a benefit during coronavirus.

I’ll just add that your assumptions are wrong. I can easily afford a car and it’s this sort of car-centric attitude that people without them must be too broke to afford them that is emblematic of why North America has such poor planning.
Wow this is absurdly cool. Would be worth posting to /new (even if it has been on HN in the past)!

Canada provides EI to those on parental leave; the "top-up" is a common compensation perk that employers offer to women, and rarely to men.
The Netherlands is the same. Two years ago it was two days. Since July it's two weeks. This is the worst in all of the EU.
I'm way more afraid of the US Government than the CCP. They're actually relevant to my life, beyond a vague "politics affects us all" kind of way.

There is plenty of critique in the community but it’s usually done in private. It doesn’t pay to be on Apple’s bad side and it’s a promotion opportunity to advocate for the newest and shiniest. Also, experience shows that you need to look at Apple with a multi year lens especially nowadays. Sometimes it takes them a couple of years to get things right.

It's not so much the gaps that are the problem as it is the effect that the delay has on growing compensation.

For every gap there's missed yearly/quaterly reviews, there's missed opportunities for promotion, and there's a stall in your compensation growth overall. When you come back to work you typically come back at the wage you left.

“ Your summary says “Productize yourself”—what does that mean?

“Productize” and “yourself.” “Yourself ” has uniqueness. “Productize” has leverage. “Yourself” has accountability. “Productize” has specific knowledge. “Yourself ” also has specific knowledge in there. So all of these pieces, you can combine them into these two words.”

It’s telling that this is what passes for wisdom in Silicon Valley. You’d be better off reading some Aristotle.

Gizmo was from the group I worked with at Facebook. This was almost entirely from a "How can we make it easier for people to collaborate". 2 is the closest reason :)

They were multi functional:

- Room Check-in devices (replacing Nexus 7s)

- Building Maps (replacing mac-minis)

- Reception Check-in (replacing iPads)

- Employee Dashboards (replacing mac-minis)

- Video conference control panels (replacing the cisco device)

The advantages they had were:

- Single SKU for IT Operations

- Pulled down a fresh image on each boot and had no state which made IT and security happier

- Could join the correct VLAN via 802.11x, the key lived on the TPM chip which made security happy

- Powered via PoE allowed remote restarts
If you are in the United States, particularly CA, just don’t give more than 2 weeks’ notice. You aren’t required to give any notice but it’s professional courtesy to give this much notice.

Make sure that your manager is willing to give you a good reference for your future gigs. If you suspect that that will not be the case, then just use the 2 weeks notice to tie up loose ends personally and getting some downtime before your next gig. The courtesy you extend to your boss is Not entirely free - your boss is also expected to extend professional courtesy by giving you a good reference, assuming you are not leaving because of performance issues or for cause.

Somewhat agree. One of the life hacks I have picked up (not necessary from him) is to look at the advice without the associations with the person.
E.g., I really admire Warren Buffet and Bill Gates a lot but doesn't mean I all their ideas work for me. The same goes for people I dislike (some self-promoters ;)) but some of the advice from people I don't like has been actually helpful for me. So.. tl;dr : It's the message, not the medium :)

TLDR: the working arrangement you prefer is a personal preference and there is no right or wrong answer. I've personally made the choice to leave the Bay Area because I've been offered the opportunity to work fully remote and my wife and I have long wanted to live closer to family so my kids can know their grandparents.

Longer Version:

I've been carefully reading posts like this for a while and it's really telling how emotional commenters get about WFH. Obviously, it sucks for some, and it's great for others. I think both pro-on-site and pro-WFH folks get it partly right and partly wrong. In the short term, I suspect articles like this vastly overstate Covid's impact on office culture. Our society aligned on office work as the "solution" for working for many reasons, not all of which are sane, rational, or healthy, but here we are. Conversely, I think we're probably overlooking or at least understating the effect that covid will have in the long run. Small incremental change compounds rapidly and it seems clear that covid has turned an otherwise continuous curve of WFH realization into a step function.

So my personal bet is that 2020 will see a collective sigh of relief as people stampede back into offices, only to realize that some people aren't coming back at all and others aren't coming back every day of the week. That realization will lead to some weird outcomes that are hard to predict, but don't lead back to office culture as it existed in 2019 even if it superficially appears the same.

For my own part, I'm a product manager at a FAANG company and was given the opportunity to work remote permanently. I'm going to give it a try in 2021. We're moving to Texas to be closer to our family and live in a place that will make it financially easier for one or both of us to experiment with less lucrative employment in a couple of years. Will I be forced to return to the bay for work? Maybe. Do I want to come back? Not really.

I think it's probably just cohort dynamics: if I were 25 and single, the Bay would still be a great place to live and grow my career. But I'm older, I've got a great marriage I want to continue prioritizing, I've got very young kids that are a handful, and priorities shift. I probably would have left the bay in the near future with or without covid!
To be fair, slow to decide[1], but then actually implemented once decided[2], is a common swiss political pattern. Consider how late universal female suffrage was, and how many female presidents, from how many different parties, we've had since them.

I owned a subcompact car and an suv. The suv was mostly for the long hauls, and I never drive the smaller car more than 30 minutes. We got rid of the suv because we realized it’s cheaper to just rent the few times of the year we really needed the extra space for those long hauls. Fwiw :)
"Unfortunately, it's hard to force men to take their leave"

There's no reason to force anyone to do this.

The statement is dystopian. If you offer it to people, and they legit don't want to take it, anything beyond that you're the problem, not the solution.
Yeah, the problem is if you’ve read all the same books as Naval, then you know where much of his tweets and ‘wisdom’ are coming from, but he never credits the source, instead implicitly passing it off as his own.

By way of comparison, one of his idols, Nassim Taleb, enthusiastically credits the sources of any thought or idea that is not his own, but which has informed and enriched his own original ideas. He makes that distinction clear in his tweets, papers, and books, the latter two extensively throughout the text, footnotes, and appendices.

It would be cool and admirable if Naval were using his platform to similarly boost his sources by crediting them more, and showing how their ideas have informed his own. Rather than commingling their and his ideas and implicitly taking credit for all of it.

That his ‘cult’ or followers don’t seem to see this suggests they either haven’t read extensively enough to recognize the sources, or they have and simply gravitate to someone like Naval confirming things they already believe.
I get the feeling that pronouns are also not explicit in Chinese most of the time, making it as hard to properly translate in english.

> 4. Sooner or later you will have no choice.

Consider it's also possible to use other languages like JS/TS (via React Native, Phonegap, etc), Dart (via Flutter), C# (via Xamarin) or even Delphi (via Embarcadero RadStudio), among others, so even in the unlikely event of Apple deprecating Objective-C, choice is not really going away.
> I wanna do the same with you: try it for one week, and let me know whether you're switching back to a dark theme or not.

The only study I saw that showed this had a really small sample size (N was ~50). Larger trails are going on now.

> Philosophy and meditation are just religion by another name in my opinion.

I agree that they may be similar in practice, but I want to make sure you understand that they are fundamentally different in every other aspect. The biggest difference is that religion believes it has a monopoly on an explanation of the metaphysical, and therefore shuts out other philosophies. This is the height of human hubris.

There are many different philosophies, and all of them are merely ideas, and none of them claim to be the exclusive explanation of the metaphysical.

Meditation is just the practice of looking inward, and many studies show benefits. Whereas, many of the reported benefits of religion come from the practice of it, and are most likely due to placebo.

So yes, in practice they are similar and they have many of the same benefits. What I can not get behind are the potential/probable drawbacks of religion. The narrow mindedness and the arrogance come to mind.

I see the 6845 still has surprises yet. Now you've made me read the Wikipedia article on it, and I learned something new, that it can be tricked into reloading the display address in the middle of a frame. If only I'd figured that out that back in the day, that would have been very handy!
I don't really know what to do about it, I just understand why one might be concerned. It's a wild world. I feel like banning things because they're a possible threat is a slippery slope.

It doesn't matter when you created your key. This is protocol stuff. If you're using non-ancient OpenSSH, and the server is using non-ancient OpenSSH, and you haven't done anything silly like disable the sha2 signature algorithms, then you're already using them since they're preferred by default.

I think the it's a bit different to compare the medium of a book. It's a one directional medium with ideas. In America, we treasure speech and don't fear ideas.

But in a two directional medium, that allows an entity to soak up information .. well that's already a problem in the US. Europe saw it as so much of an issue they implemented GDPR (for better or worse) and California has similar legislation.

Information is way different, and we've already seen cases where TikTok has been caught reading clipboards (could just be to scan for tiktok links, but it could have also been harvesting additional data).

The US does not allow certain things to be imported/exported to other nations. We've seen that for decades with Cuba and various other embargo. If you get a book from an embargoed country, it's not illegal to have to distribute it (granted it doesn't contain illegal/obscene content). The Federal government can legislate foreign commerce.
What is faith-like is taking conclusions which the science justifies, at best, as being true on average and treating them as invariably true for each individual. It's the fallacy of division elevated to dogma.

> Not everything should be hammered into a JS shaped hole.

TypeScript exists because most web developers have to use JavaScript.

People realized that massive JavaScript code bases were impossible to maintain, and TypeScript is the solution to that problem.

The relationship between the type system and running code isn't perfect, but it's better than nothing. It's not reasonable to port a 100k+ LoC project to another language.

Comparing TypeScript to [insert your favorite language] is not the point of TypeScript. The point is to make JavaScript maintainable at scale.
Accessibility. You and I would probably use the CLI versions of these bash scripts. But my parents or friends would probably not use one unless it came with a GUI. Getting them interested in running shell scripts rather than purchasing expensive apps can only be a good thing.
