I completely get all of those points - however almost all of them aren't really exclusive to homeworking. It exacerbates them, for sure, but all are based on underlying presenteeism and imposter syndrome.

Most would be present were you in a regional office and "corporate" were calling the shots, or your manager's manager is in your New York office and doesn't see what their skip levels are doing locally.

A lot of them are even present when your desk is only a row over from the rest of your colleagues, and you're at a tangent with the flow them.

The problem here isn't so much working from home, it's going from visibility to non-visibility. Open plan offices to, essentially, private offices. These feelings would begin to manifest themselves if they simply rejigged the office design, and mitigating and building resilience of this is needed whether in the office or otherwise.

That being said, having children at home is hard. And a lack of appreciation of the impacts of those I feel falls under my point about toxic environments.

You will find exponentially less vulnerabilities the more money you spend. How much you should spend depends on how big the damage could be in case of a breach.
His only job is to fight the DOJ anti trust complaint.
Hard work only matters when you work hard to change yourself. If you work 80 hours a week bagging groceries nobody can say you don't work hard, but it isn't very productive work.

Most people just follow the path set for them, and among those who do set out to change they mostly just change from one standard path to another. Like switching from bagging groceries to college to become a programmer. Very few want to do the hard work required to change the world, they prefer safety, even among richer people.
That seems more like a status thing than a productive thing.
Apple music works great for me on Android, and their web player is pretty good (especially compared to the "native" Music.app on macOS).
This is an informative cogent response and I was surprised to see it downvoted.
Do not share twitter links ffs!
Wait, do I read it right? The US cities legally limit the amount of houses that can be built in a year? Like, "this year, the total amount of construction must be no more than 2000 houses"? Seriously?

It's not exploitive to pay people a modest wage for modest productivity, especially if the role can be part of a successful career.

You also ignore the point that entry level jobs provide advancement opportunities that are sometimes better for disadvantaged folks (or even folks changing careers) compared to expecting them to (re)train at four year universities, etc.

People talk a lot about apprenticeship these days... Apprenticeships are entry level, low paid positions.
QAnon material has been retweeted by Trump and a QAnon-connected person is expected to be elected to the US congress. A QAnon believer was convicted for blocking a major dam while making terroristic threats[0]. Another believer was arrested for attempting to bomb a religious display in Illinois. [3] A believer in the QAnon predecessor, Pizzagate, shot up a pizza restaurant[1]. The recent attempt to assassinate the Canadian Prime Minister was perpetrated by an individual with Qanon leanings[3]. These incidents are not isolated and are part of a larger pattern of QAnon-connected violence[2][3].

QAnon is, politically, an auxiliary of the Republican party. This, combined with the willingness of QAnon followers to use violence, means that the movement has the potential to be a proto-brownshirt movement. This is not something to dismiss lightly.

QAnon is not a self-contained trash bin, it's a cancer that has metastasized into both violence and into the mainstream of American politics.

Hello, QAnon downvoters.

Probably the icons for the Windows Store entries were already in the cache for you. Things work the second time, but the fact that it's unpredictable makes the experience less smooth than what it was before.

Also I have things like ,,Candy Crash Friends'' icon that's very bright, takes my focus away on what I want to do, and I don't know how to turn it off, as I don't find it in the settings (to tell you the truth, I haven't even played it, but I'm waiting for Cyberpunk 2077, so I don't want to try other games right now).
If anyone here subscribes to Stratechery I strongly recommend the interview sent out yesterday with Microsofts head of gaming. There's chat there about how gaming shifted internally in part due to how Nadella rethought gaming as it's own strategy and a key future component of Azure, rather than just a part of Windows strategy. He particularly highlights how gaming is a key differentiator vs the other top tech companies. Shows some seriously smart strategic thinking.
Yes, he did. One of the best tech CEOs. Got his MS in CS from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Later got an MBA from Chicago but that's a BS degree for the resume. Shows you can succeed no matter where you start, you just need to work harder usually and not letting others to put you down.
I cannot disagree more. Yes, Windows 7 is more polished in some ways, for example the control panel vs the thing they have created now.

But the rest, I don't have any of the problems you describe. And I run Windows 10 on a ThinkPad P50, which is 5 years old.

Also, the start menu is reasonable, although I prefer the simplicity of XP.
Siri support must be new. I don't have CarPlay. I have one of those old school iPod radios. Apple Music's playlists, artists, podcasts, etc all show up fine. Spotify didn't work when I tried it.
Legislation via judicial review is another kind of corruption. People are sick of corruption!
Pretty much every generation of iPod has upgrade options available for both the storage and the battery. Definitely dig out your unit and see what you can do for it.

For CDNs we switched from Fastly to Cloudflare because we needed support for SSH (port 22)

And for email sending I think you want multiple providers so you have a hot one (already know on the internet to send a large volume of mail in your name) in cause a provider has problems with delivery.

-> Seems to me more like the system is fundamentally broken...

What assumption have you made about the system's purposes and functions? This is an important question and one we are currently wrestling with as a society. It's one of the BIG QUESTIONS and hard to answer. Plato's Republic might be a good starting place.
It takes some kind of privilege to believe that being low-status is a status onto itself.
Let’s say that you need to be within, say, 1 degree of the ecliptic. The height of that ring is much greater at 100 ly than at 1 ly, meaning more space for stars.
I’m not baiting people into anything, and you aren’t calling any bluff. You are free to engage in this dialog without using false dichotomies if you choose.

As to making people “seem like they are anti-police”, why would I need to do that? I don’t think people have a problem with being seen as anti-police. Is there something wrong with being anti-police? It seems like an entirely valid position to hold.

Being anti-police as an institution doesn’t automatically mean being in favor of mob violence against individuals. You can be strongly against a structure, without hating the individuals who occupy the role.

It is possible to want to hold the police accountable without believing that the only way to do this is to dehumanize them, or to doxx them.

All you have done here is double down on an extremist position.

“The police” is a very large and diverse group of people. You have said you feel no remorse for anything that happens to them.

You have said that you are willing to completely dehumanize all police, and support violence of any kind against all of them and the killing of innocent people in the name of your cause, which is an unspecified ‘accountability’.

You are therefore a politically violent extremist, or at the very least someone who supports politically violent extremism if such a distinction can be made.
I'd say that CommonMark is a pretty widely-utilized standard defining formatting including `inline code` snippets.
Is this worth disabling adblocker, pretty please? :(
CommonMark is some kind of standard, and HN’s current syntax is a subset of it.
I know a successful doctor who's convinced software development is an inherently unstable, unprofessional, and boring career. I really like the guy but I couldn't disagree more with him about this issue.

I bring this up to say: what other people think is significant career-wise is really only a helpful opinion if it's informed. Outsiders (friends, family, etc.) may have helpful questions but they often just don't have enough information to help you decide when to give up or press on.
Now we just need to relax about street food, kitchen requirements and health codes a bit, and lower the bar to becoming a food entrepreneur. Making food is one of the most basic things people do, yet we've put a $50k+ barrier of entry on what constitutes an acceptable kitchen, along with massive regulatory hoops that have to be jumped through.

I think there's still a place for inspections, but unless you're absolutely terrible it should be informational for consumers rather than a hurdle that must be passed before doing business. Let people choose to eat at uninspected facilities if they want (with the knowledge of what they're doing), and have liability laws in place for when things go wrong.

While we're at it, we should make it easier to become a street vendor. We encourage children to be entrepreneurial with lemonade stands and bake sales, yet it's stupidly hard to actually do something like this as a real business.
I find it ironic that an operating system called Windows won't let me open Settings in multiple windows. It's perhaps the greatest illustration of how Microsoft has lost their way in UI design.
They can't mention any specific towns because doing so would easily falsify their narrative. There's no evidence that moving from a major city to a smaller city of this type has accelerated due to COVID, and there's plenty of objective evidence that the rate of change of address in the US has actually slowed slightly due to COVID. The paper this article mentions deals entirely with issues prior to 2020. The article itself is merely the latest symptom of a memetic disease among journalists.
(thought better of this comment)
Just wait until you hear the chances these people had to luck out on in order to become an embryo.
The causality perhaps isn’t as clear cut as you might think.

Folks who come from a high status background tend to be more willing to do low status things, because doing so doesn’t undermine their status, which comes from elsewhere.
There’s more than one civil right, no?

Also your example is unrealistic and distorted - it’s not a useful hypothetical because no one is asking anyone to call them something insulting like that as their public form of address.

The fact that the example is an insult makes it different from “they/them”
> The best antidote for bad ideas and conspiracy theories is transparency and public debate.

Have you actually tried that? I have. I spent quite a while when I was in law school on some Usenet groups where tax conspiracy theorists hung out, thoroughly refuting their arguments (it was a good way for me to practice legal research).

The problem was that the people who were coming up with the totally false but believable to people who only have a layman's understanding of law claims were easily able to do so faster than I and the other people also doing this could refute them.
You're likely right about the mask. I would give the guy weird looks because of his lack of consideration for others, not because I fear a crazed killer.

That said, your experience with Q is not universal. There are many people who take it much, much more seriously than you do and have alienated friends and family members and lost jobs as a result. And, of course, fired a gun in a pizza shop, shot and killed protestors, etc.
Nothing is. But I have uBlock Origin, I'm not getting stopped.
True, but I've been using GIMP a long time - more than a decade. Used it for years longer and years before I used Adobe CS. Taken a number of tutorials on it. Will always be super clunky.
I would love to see this experiment repeated with more pricy penetration testers.

The results are useless without a control.
> Some PhDs are useful outside of academia. Many are not. It really depends on what you work on, your personality, and what other skills you have.

This is true of any degree.
It's worse than that. US towns can have a patchwork of complex zoning rules where the answer to almost any development is "no", and when you do make it past the planning department, the neighbors are often able to block it. So there's no quota, instead you are trapped in months or years of uncertain red tape.

San Francisco is perhaps the worst, but these problems are widespread.
You may have a point here but it's hard to know without more context. For example: why only OxyContin/oxycodone listed here? oxycontin was still a fairly new drug in 2002. Also there are numerous other opioids available, many of those "new pills" might have been replacing other opioids. Also you seem to completely rule out the possibility that there was untreated or under treated pain out there (which I strongly suspect is the case).

Again I'm not saying you're wrong, just that it's not possible to know from the context in your post alone.
The point is that there are known problems in the foundations of physics (the measurement problem, the reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics to name the 2 best known ones) and that they should be by far the biggest focus for new research - not GUTs and solutions for un-naturalness.

If we have a theory that could solve the measurement problem (or detect quantum gravity etc.), and a plausible experiment for that theory, we should perform this experiment - it may well yield valuable data whatever result we get.

Conversely, if we have a theory that predicts that more particles may exist at higher levels of energy and nothing else, then there is no good reason to perform this experiment. Especially if the precise level of energy is a free parameter of the theory, so the theory won't change if the experiment fails.

> And Hossenfelder is correct that in hindsight naturalness wasn't a very good rule.

I believe that she is correct that naturalness wasn't a very good rule at all, not just in hindsight. It's as good a rule as it would have been to expect all numbers to be multiples of Pi.
And, it’s likely we will never see their planets from earth while they can see ours.
What's wrong with version 48.0.0? Be it 73838.0.0. That's OK. What's wrong with a fixed 0 at the end? If your kind of software doesn't have a reason to release a path or a minor change, well, then that's OK.

Versioning is for machines and developers. Versioning is the way to communicate the scope of change. Tools rely on it. The ideal package manager should reject non-major releases that have breaking changes.

Softwares that don't respect Semver actually don't respect the developers that use them.

End users don't care about the version of your product (even if they are developers). Fast, what's your current Chrome or Firefox versions? (Hint: greater than 48)

This reminds me of the book "Excellent Sheep" that spoke to the point that much of elite schools is about chasing status. I couldn't find the exact number, but an absurd percentage of graduates go into a select few high prestige career choices, namely finance, consulting, law, and medicine. The point being students are optimizing for high status.

To paraphrase an interaction from the book about entertaining different paths, when pressed a student made it clear: "We've known who we want to be from elementary school. We are the type to get into <<Ivy League School Name>>".

I sometimes wonder if people focus on chasing status when they're at a loss for defining any other concrete goal. When you aren't sure what you want, it's easy to let society define your goal which manifests itself as chasing status.

I have a far more charitable theory. The vast majority of human and alien life would want to be friends (or at least just leave their neighbors alone). It’s the elites who desire to destroy each other.

I also have a less charitable theory: intelligent life just doesn’t exist. A thousand years from now we will have met dozens of sentient species, but the search for intelligent life continues :P

Maximum, I saw a couple the other day -- 33 and 45. As a 32 year old I didn't feel too encouraged by that!
Maybe because whatever entity created bitcoin controls what, like 9% of all bitcoin? And nobody knows who or what they are? Why would anyone want to be involved in a financial system that functions that way?
Cook hasn't damaged Apple nearly as much as Ballmer hurt MS. During Ballmer's tenure, Microsoft launched the Zune, the various disastrous incarnations of Windows Phone, Windows 8, and the Xbox One (which halved its marketshare vs the 360). Cook may not be innovative, but he has yet to have a real failure, much less a disaster on the scale of those.

I support that person sharing their views. I don't think they should be censored simply because you suggest they're thinking "wrong think".

It's patently obvious that academic institutions have a political bent.
I can confirm that $20-25k at top public schools is about right circa 10 years ago, and that $35k is currently about right at a top Ivy League (both for math).
That makes it sound like individuals have no agency, or that we're blank slates, or that agency is evenly distributed and low. The point is that from screen addiction to exercise to nutrition to savings, there are varying degrees of self-control, and surely varying degrees of temptation and built-in advantages or disadvantages.

We're conscious beings with a will, and there reaches a point where you struggle with your own will in order to evolve as a person. For some that's screen addiction. I'm only eager to write this comment so I can highlight the danger of a 'not my fault' mentality that's self-sabotaging.
Example - white supremacy is not a “strongly held belief” to those who believe in universal human rights and equality.

My belief system makes white supremacy not some other, legitimate belief I oppose, but one that is beyond the pale because it threatens the core of my belief system (universal human rights and equality).

Since the (current) Republican Party is running on white supremacy ...
Finally, some real life use for that n-key rollover feature of my new keyboard :D
Obviously this is a bit of a reaching statement, some organizations understand the legal, career, and regulatory risk and proactively do it.

In every org I've sat down with the head to explain those risks, I can see how it can be made priority and budget.
Basic Taoism, the way of the trickster sage. Going the roundabout way to get what was inacessible via a direct route.
The original analysis was done with the standard method and found a very strong signal.

A new analysis done with a non-standard method found a significantly weaker signal.

The argument for the non-standard method is that while the standard method substantially reduces noise, it also can be heavily affected by instrumental errors. They looked at more of the ALMA data and found other high signal to noise peaks which aren't associated with any chemicals and thus are probably artifacts from the detector. A different curve fit that gets rid of these erroneous peaks also shrinks the phosphine peak below standard statistical significance.

The problem though is that they only looked for these alternative peaks in the datasource for one detector, but the phosphine peak was found on multiple detectors. Overfitting may make a random peak stand out more than it should, but that peak has to be there to begin with. Either both detectors have some unknown quirk that causes the same blip at the phosphine line, or that's a real signal.

The argument that the signal is less than what is typically considered significant under the alternative analysis technique is irrelevant as the typical case doesn't use the alternative technique. If you changed all other measurements to reduce signal to noise ratio, the required signal to noise ratio for all detections would also decrease.

It is also worth noting that this new paper, which uses a non-standard method, has not yet been peer reviewed.
a lowly position is a great boon
Maybe I missed something about the location, but I thought the On/Off star was just inside the Beyond, where a lot of advanced technologies start working, and had the remnants of a Beyond civilization (including antigravity materials)?
The problem that strikes me here (as a professional pentester) is that these vulnerabilities are so pathological. There is no realistic series of errors that would lead you to really design an app with hardcoded sqli looking credentials or somehow return a cookie with a malformed header, let alone one that somehow automatically authenticated the user.
I am extremely onboard with the idea that pentesting as a whole has a lot of scanner jockeys (and a lot of my current work is finding people who aren't.) But you're not testing for vulnerabilities that would actually show up in the real world, and it is hurting your analysis.
The “casual followers” of conspiracy theories aren’t doing anybody any good. They’re just increasing the spread of the disinformation. This stuff needs to be fought, refuted, and relegated to the dustbin of history. “casual following” is the sort of thing that lets this win a place in the core of public discourse and culture.
