Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of U.S. Global Supremacy (PhD, 2015)
This is one of the most disappointing comments I've read on HN. The patronizing negativity is bad enough, but it's not even accurate. Read the article about Earlyname. The author absolutely understands marketing, advertising, and customer acquisition. Oh, he also owns a real-life ice cream business with two locations and (as of 2018) three non-founder employees (https://rippleandroll.com/), so I assume he knows about cash flow and legal matters too.

I don't see how it doesn't. Our approach is literally no different than most in person companies.

Instead of walking over to somebody's desk, we get on a video call. Sure, there are still things that require written communication - but day-to-day quick talk is no different.

We still Slack, we still write PR feedback, we still document processes and policies, etc.
Here's a twitter thread about that. Basically, most of that 5+ years is usually spent waiting around for funding and/or decisions from management.

No, the articles say that ISIS has been created in Bucca. From the Guardian article:

“[al-Baghdadi] was respected very much by the US army,” Abu Ahmed said. “If he wanted to visit people in another camp he could, but we couldn’t. And all the while, a new strategy, which he was leading, was rising under their noses, and that was to build the Islamic State. If there was no American prison in Iraq, there would be no IS now. Bucca was a factory. It made us all. It built our ideology.”
No it isn't about power. Labour is a market and is governed by the laws of supply and demand (typically).

A cleaner gets paid less because it is unskilled work and almost any able bodied person can be a cleaner. Same someone that stacks shelves in a super market.

The same happens in our industry. VB.NET developers aren't in demand, the contract rates are sometimes £200-300 a day less than a React JS / C# .NET Core developer in Manchester which is in demand. Higher demand pushes up the price of labour.
Sadly I expect Big Tech is looking at remote work for the wrong reason, mainly labor cost arbitrage. I say sadly because I think Big Tech could do a lot of social good in an ever increasing divided America by making a concerted effort to employ remote workers from diverse geographic regions within America.
Bout time! 60% of my revenue I never saw because of Apple/Fed/State taxes. Switching to s-corp status helped though.

This article is superficially about forgetting but that single stunning line summarizes the persistence of memory.
And that's part of the problem with git! It requires you to get a mental model of how it works internally, but only part of how it works internally is important, and there are terminology conflicts. So people get incorrect ideas about how it works, then get surprised when something unexpected happens.
I've gotten fed up of trying to explain this to people. The tldr is that the most reasonable interpretation of events is that the 737 Max without MCAS is not certifiable without MCAS (or at least a better thought out modification to the control feel system). There is no particular requirement for aircraft on the same type certificate to "handle" the same way. For an extreme example look at the Cessna 500 series. The CJ4 has a note in its pilot operations hand book that it is high performance and is basically at the limit of what a single pilot can handle.
I think you might be hanging around the wrong people. I’ve rarely met people with the ethics (or lack) you describe and certainly haven’t stayed in their presence if i can help it.

The biggest thing that factors into your "cost of living" is not geographic, but rather the number of dependents you have. Oddly, you don't seem to see companies trying to base their compensation on this. Why do you suppose that is?
(Chromium dev here.)

For the most part, events can't really accumulate, because not running code means no new events are posted. The throttling applies to setTimeout/setInterval, and not to any external event (incoming network data, API callbacks, etc).

Sites that legitimately have to do a fixed amount of work per unit time (via timers) will simply do that work with 1 wake-up per minute. All things being equal, this still means less battery usage because energy usage is a function of both wakeups and total CPU usage.

> The primary source of energy savings would be poorly written websites that constantly poll in the background.

This is the key insight here, and really what we're going after. There is a lot of this on the web.
So presumably once a sufficient number of employers switch to accepting fully-remote on the reg, "local competitor" won't mean much anymore. This impacts "local-first" companies more, right, because their pool of candidates will shrink/be poached, so it will put more pressure on them to switch to "remote accepted" as well

It's a cultural issue more than anything, I think. Growing up, you're told that you need to go to college if you want to be successful. In high school the gifted kids are pushed into college prep courses. When you start applying for colleges you are told to find a college that "fits" and a major that you're interested in, so you can build a future that makes you happy.

All the parents and teachers that you trust want you to be happy. Most of them don't care to inform you that the choices you're making now might leave you destitute for a decade. Most of them probably didn't know, because when they were growing up a college degree by itself was enough to thrust you into the upper middle class (supposedly).

Personally, I didn't get it until my first year of university, when I got a financial report on my $7500 of debt, realized that by graduation it would be $30,000. I looked up some salary numbers and thought about it for literally the first time in my life. That's when I decided I needed to change majors from chemistry to compsci, and I was damn lucky that carnegie mellon was where I chose to study chemistry.
Learn a lesson from the manufacturing fields. The jobs left because they could be cheaper somewhere else.

It was a greater good for a much larger number of people, but for those at the top of the pay scale, it was a severe reduction in quality of life.

Shooting for a higher average has the effect of bringing up a ton of folks' incomes, while negatively impacting a few.

You, too, could be the few.

It has zero effect on Epic’s bottom line, but a potentially huge effect on their lawsuit - they were portraying themselves in the media, and likely the lawsuit as well, as “fighting for everyone, especially the little guys”. All of a sudden, they are left fighting for the fat cats.
I really liked Cal Newport's first book, "So Good They Can't Ignore You", published in 2012 [1]. The titular sentence is great advice, one I've been following all my life.

Meanwhile a lot of time went by, I'm almost 40, and I have worked at 8-10 companies (incl. FAANG, my own startup). His later advice, from the book "Deep Work", was not in line with my work experience [2]. The problem is, Cal doesn't have a regular 9-5 job as a tech worker, at a tech company. He's in academia (and self-employed), which is very different --- I know, I also worked in academia! And this shows.

For example, I was reading his book Deep Work while I was at Facebook, where the whole company is on Workplace/Workchat internally, with frequent notification/mention/chat interrupts, and the culture is to have quick response times. So no Deep Work, yet velocity and productivity is very high. It's not true that you need a lot of focused time to get things done, you can manage it in smaller chunks. It'd be convenient, but it's not realistic.

Reflecting on this article, in my experience, the key thing to focus on for companies is not personal productivity but team organization. The topline differentiator between high-velocity and high-productivity organizations versus the rest is that these are a collection of self-sufficient cross-functional product teams. The rest, which is most organizations, usually run "projects" instead of products, and multiple departments and teams, with different reporting lines, goals, OKRs/KPIs, etc. are exptected to work together to make it happen --- the result is the organization becomes one big waiting/blocking graph, with 80% of projects being blocked at any given time. This also makes personal productivity harder, because more "sync" and "alignment" type email threads and meetings are needed. In this model people have to work with more people they don't know/trust, so more people are communicating with each other who don't know how to communicate with each other, they may not even know the other person's exact job description or timezone location.

Having said that, I appreciate Cal's perspective, and I'm happy to support him by buying his books.

Impressive Cyberattacks of 2020: What We Can Learn from Them
I don't think it breaks the security model. There could be a strict but fair standard for qualifying as an app store. Then I could choose an app store that imposes an even stricter security/privacy model.
> It seems to me companies can either pay for the work, and how valuable it is to them, or pay by need, ie 'cost of living'.

As many have pointed out, it's usually neither of those. The pay is determined by supply and demand.
Yeah, I always laugh at the naivete of many people from first world countries : "Wow down there in Mexico the dollar is worth 10X/8X/6X times as more". No, it fucking is not. Or let me rephrase, it does but just for an extremely small subset of things. Cars? No, more expensive in the third world. House? Not at all, for a similar house, same quality of construction, and neigborhood, expect to pay at the very least the same amount of money you pay in average in the US. Food? No. Clothes? No. Land? Probably but if you have to sell it if will be sold to a lower price too. The only reason the dollar is worth more is because the local wages are pitiful, that's it.
33 bits of entropy to narrow down to a single individual. ~28 in USA

UID, Gender, Age group, Zipcode and City, plus of course your medication habits, is probably enough to deanonymize with a reasonable amount of confidence. Say age group is one of 8, age+gender is 5 bits of entropy. City zip is ~8. So that's 15 bits left on a good day.

Throw in any off-the-shelf targeted marketing data (usally worth 10-25 bits iirc) and you might as well use SSN as the patient ID.

They should put their money where their mouth is and release the de-identified info of the high ranking DEA personnel. If they're so confident it's de-identified, it shouldn't be a problem. If that's a problem for them, the rest of us should definitely not trust it.

This 'misconception' comes from two big sources, IMO:

1) Leadership is paid for the value they bring. Primarily through huge stock grants as part of their multi-million dollar compensation packages.

2) Companies always discuss employee compensation, especially raises and bonuses, in terms of the value an employee has relative to their peers.

So, it's no wonder that people believe that their value has something to do with their compensation: it's what they've been told by the companies themselves; it's how the most visible employees (leadership) are compensated.
Making these kind of mistakes is something people avoid. But I'm a little happy I made this in my 20s. It can accelerate your learning by years to even decades. On a longish view of things a lot of things that are clear to me, are still murky to people in my age peer group. That kind of helps making lots of beneficial decisions especially financial and health before others can even see or realize them. You come out ahead in the bell curve.

A start up failure might be painful, and even a little expensive. But it's like a college degree, or other high quality training program. It teaches you a lot and most of it is beneficial stuff if you are willing to apply the lessons elsewhere.
So as I see it, the society leaves most of an employment contract up to the firm-employee combo (where the firm has the upper hand).

But some fundamental things are not up to the company, at least by law: can't discriminate by gender, race, age, veteran status, marital status, having children and so on. In Europe, like it or not, you must give your employees paid holiday leave, sick leave and time off to look after children. If firing people, you must give them proper notice, and cannot fire people for a long list of reasons considered illegal. If doing group redundancies, you must follow proper procedure, aiming to maximise the fairness of the approach.

In short, we still don't know which measures would have to be kept even when a lot of people are vaccinated. It will be much better known in some time, but it's still not known at this moment. It depends on sterile immunizing properties of the vaccine, which are still unknown.

Edit: re the Moderna protocol mentioned in
sanxiyn's comment below: even if they will measure sterilizing immunity (as one of their "Secondary" objectives), as far as I know, they still haven't published something on that topic (1) From them we still have only data on the level comparable to those from Pfizer/BioNTech:

90 cases in placebo, 5 in vaccinated, 11 severe cases, all in placebo group. Where "cases" could simply be defined "those who were recognized of having Covid-19" (as the illness). (Also see my other comment here for more general references about the primary objectives of all Phase 3 trials).

Here's what Moderna only writes about their secondary objectives in the only release: "Key secondary endpoints include prevention of severe COVID-19 disease and prevention of infection by SARS-CoV-2. The trial will continue to accrue additional data relevant to safety and efficacy even after an EUA is submitted." Meaning, eventually, we should be able to know more.

I didn't know that Pfizer doesn't even have that kind analysis written in their protocol, thanks. I'd hope they can add that in some later phase.

ELE Era O Enéas
It was an irrelevant example, and an incorrect one.

A war on the Korean peninsula already happened in the past and it went quite badly for all involved.

Now it is 2020, with very interconnected economies between all involved and with the US, China, Russia, and North Korea having nuclear arsenals.
Therefore it is indeed borderline madness to suggest that anyone might decide to start a full out war on the Korean peninsula, it is even more ridiculous to suggest that this might happen "by accident" (like it is ridiculous to suggest that WWI started by accident).

In the real world of today one might look at Chinese-Indian relations. Probably 10s of soldiers on both sides died recently. Are the nukes flying yet? Of course not, no-one is suicidal and both sides won't attempt anything beyond their skirmishes in one or 2 remote valleys.

It's only sensationalist news channels that peddle the risk of war with North Korea.
I guess it all comes down to how one interprets norms regarding discrimination. Paying someone less money for the same work based on their living area fits this dictionary definition of discrimination: "the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than individually" and that coincides with my personal feelings of discrimination.

I guess one can differ in the opinion on whether discrimination as defined is ethical or unethical. In this case the argument hinges on cost of living based on location and the willingness of the workers to work for less or more. However, if the cost of living argument was say in the context of Muslims needing more money because Halal food is harder to find and more expensive, then I think most people would agree that this is discrimination on the basis of religion and probably not legal in most jurisdictions of users here. I guess many people can distinguish these scenarios since discrimination based on race/religion is historically problematic and deserving of special protection whereas generic discrimination isn't necessarily problematic until it is. For me, "Because I can," is not a defense of unfair behavior and less pay for the same work is unfair in my norms.

For me, any determination based on criteria other than the individual's ability to perform the work is suspect. It is just too easy to abuse to maintain power imbalances in the world (obviously people living in ghettos are going to be paid less: it costs less to live in a ghetto, then they cannot earn more to either improve the ghetto or leave). It seems to me if you want to demand people work in the city with the office, you make the part of the contract where they are required to be in the office for some determined hours a sevarable part of the contract with its own remuneration. Then all remote workers get paid the same uniform smaller amount but are never required to be in the office: the requirement of being in the office is relevant to ability to perform work in some sense. If you live outside of the country and the company needs to handle special taxes for that, well either it could be flat out forbidden if HR won't do it or they could reasonably require you to pay for the actual costs associated with foreign reporting of income. Other than that, the employer should stay out of my personal business.
(Chromium dev here.)

Doing the work in one giant update is actually better from a power consumption / battery point-of-view, because the CPU cost is fixed but there are fewer wakeups overall.

Note that the new throttling logic means you get woken-up once per minute; we're not talking about preventing your page from doing work for a 24 hour period.

For full details of how the throttling works, see here:

>To many people there is certainly a moral obligation to put in an honest effort

how can you have a moral obligation to an entity that is itself amoral (a corporation)?

>and pay fair wages

i'm not gonna hedge this at all: there are no corporations that pay fair wages out of a moral obligation. if there were no minimum wage they would be the lowest that the market would bare (and the market is also amoral).
This is an interesting take. As someone who is relatively interested in this stuff but by no means an expert (i.e. I've read a few pop-psych books), do you have any further reading I could do to see where you're coming from with this claim?

Because, by my very limited understanding, I always thought something like electromagnetism was always thought to be "concrete," for lack of a better word - whereas I always thought that sociology and psychology were much more subjective fields (and this is why it's impossible to, for example, predict whether a stock will go up or down). Is there any reading to suggest the latter?

Arabic speaker here, just want to point out that there are multiple words for human in Arabic: "بن/بنت أدم" (son/daughter of Adam), "بشري" and also "إنسان".

You probably searched for the one related to Adam, and the parent's claim concerns the third one (I still couldn't verify the claim with a 30 second search, but it's plausible enough and the word does seem phonetically similar to the verb, which counts for something in Arabic).

This is very true.

I've been using Vim for 6ish years now and one of the biggest issues I have is all the plugins randomly breaking. Especially true for IDE like features, such as auto-indent, auto-brackets stuff etc.

Another issue I run into, also due to a overly complex config, is that my hotkeys don't work across OSes. I mostly work on a mac and use for instance crtl+shift and the arrow to move between tabs in vim. Those keys do different stuff on my linux machine and I can't use them.
