I think it’s more an inevitable consequence of technology and efficiency gains. As more information is easily available, there are fewer arbitrage opportunities.

For example, the reader that asked the article’s author:

>A reader reached out to me with a query. He and his wife and three daughters are in search of “a slower, more nature and community bound life, but without leaving behind people who read books, et cetera. I'm forever looking for where Henry Miller's Big Sur is today, or Provincetown, or even the Upper West Side of 1960, or the San Francisco of the early 90s. We have some money, but we don't want to be around people who are money driven.”

Everyone else is looking for that too. And since it’s easier to find those places (or was) they get bid up as all things do with lots of demand and relatively low supply.

Stuff I really-really dislike when people start talking about 'adjustments because of difference in cost of living'.

Stop that bullshit. Be frank, and say that compensations will be different because the market is different. That's it.

'Cost of living' is bullshit without specifying what 'living' means. That needs you to specify what your employees should be spending their income on. If an Ukrainian employee spends all they income on buying houses and going to restaurants and hairdressers, then their cost of living is really way cheaper than someone living in, say, London and buying similar houses and eating in similar restaurants. However, if our imaginary Ukrainian employee wants to buy cars, gadgets or wants access to high-quality healthcare, then suddenly the cost of living is _higher_ for them than for someone living in London.

So screw the bullshit around 'cost of living'. Do whatever you prefer about compensation, but be straight about it.

(The article is not great, though, e.g. stuff like "Whatever one's situation is, however difficult a negotiation might be, treat people like they were your friends" -- well, no, your colleagues are not your friends; some of them might be, but you better have friends as your direct reports.)

I think what a lot of people that argue for this kind of thing ignore is that most people in the US are actually still being paid very well on a global scale, even if they don't get a SV salary. If everyone works remotely and wages are equalised, wouldn't the natural conclusion be that wages should go down quite a lot in most Western countries?

If this is really such an easy way to make a city grow economically why aren't the artists making money off of this to fund their next move?

The economic benefits to the city of having a thriving art community might be diffuse enough across many people that there's no one person or group willing to pay individual artists to provide the benefit. That is, it's mostly a positive externality / public good.

You could ask the municipal government for pay for it, the way they pay for roads and other services, but then you'd have the problem of establishing some sort of worthiness standard to ensure the system isn't just being taken advantage of. The determination of such a standard, besides being possibly unrealizable, would probably undermine the creative spirit it's designed to foster.

I believe the same is pretty much true for The Netherlands, which might not be a surprise.

The pensions in The Netherlands might actually be better arranged for now, but it's likely at some point that the EU will (indirectly) try to gain control over Dutch pension funds (e.g. by forcing these funds to allocate a certain percentage of spending to buy Italian bonds).
> If you find yourself in a situation where your current salary might be at risk due to recent relocation then hopefully the following write-up can help you to negotiate equal pay for equal work. It is a curated list of relevant points to formulate a strong argument why one should receive the same or perhaps an even better pay for the same work carried out from a remote position.

I think this article would be more helpful when negotiating if it also included the arguments from the employers point of view and how to respond to those. The most important point being: "The market price for developers in your situation/area is X".

I also find the argumentation a bit inconsistent: The first section is "Same value, same pay", but then later it is "Higher cost, higher pay". Now what is it? Is your pay determined by the value you provide or the cost you have? Or is it a combination? If so, how do you balance it? Should "Lower cost" (e.g. no longer paying for commute) also lead to "lower pay"?

You have a point, but I think technical people here are more concerned about buggy or malicious or badly interacting local software than about them falling for such phishing attempts on websites. I may be wrong, and I agree verifying validity of URL is a nice feature. A feature that should be implemented by the browser as well.
I am pretty sure that I already read about a version of this in a science fiction story written by Charles Sheffield in the 1990s!
As a user, I have the same issue but in the opposite direction. My greylisting config requires only 1 minute wait, but many providers only retry after 5-10 minutes.

Usually I can request a new login (or email verification) link and it will go through immediately. It does not work with Sendgrid-based services though, as Sendgrid rotates the IP used by the service for every mail.

A work of fiction can count as prior art? It is not like anyone would not have tried to do something similar in practice, before or after that, but the episode itself?

In any case, that episode qualifies both as prior, and art.
Yes, but writing tests isn't a huge cost if you're used to it. And once I've discarded that huge chunk of code, I immediately know what else I broke, rather than having to find it by testing manually.

If I have to write 100 lines of code to implement a feature, it really doesn't take me twice as long to write another 100 to test it. In most cases, writing the test alongside (or even before) the code helps with writing the code. I'd say writing a test adds maybe 25% to the time.

Knowing a year later than that code is still good, because that test still runs successfully, is easily worth that 25%

Of course I'm not saying 100% code coverage is worth it. Just the critical bits.
> Many begin to see remote work as not only a necessary consequence, but rather as a new opportunity to diversify their workforce, increase employee productivity and cut some cost.

Excuse my cynicism, but:

"diversify their workforce" -> use subcontractors, temporary work agencies, and other people who are ore

"increase employee productivity" -> From the experience of myself and people I know, productivity working remotely is generally lower than working on-premises, albeit with some exceptions. This sounds more like the potential for making people work longer hours and be on-call during off hours

"cut some cost" -> That seems to be the opportunity here...

> The biggest cost saving obviously comes from office space,

I'd guess that the biggest cost saving probably comes from reduced salaries. People working remotely are easier to control and are much less able to resist management initiatives through interaction with their peers (and I'm not even talking about unionization, which is already very low in the US).

We should never assume the debate is between different benevolent entities who just disagree about the proper moral criterion for setting wages. No. Those are commercial companies which have a tendency to depress wages when the opportunity arises. That doesn't mean they'll always do that, but it certainly means that their considerations and motivations are not what's best for employees or what's morally superior, or even what's fair.

This. This a thousand times. You'd much rather earn 10x and spend 8x than earn 2x and spend x, because at the end of the day you have twice as much money in the bank.

"Cost of living" is a bastardization of the concept of real wages that doesn't even make the slightest economic sense.
Isn't a patent a protection for the way it is implemented vs the idea itself?
Few issues with this statement:

- That bit is not stored in RAM but rather somewhere within CPU which can have different bit flip frequency characteristics.

- Even assuming this bit can be flipped, most computers wouldn't have ECC RAM inserted because well... the CPU doesn't support it.

- And even assuming you have ECC RAM inserted, this bit flipping while your computer is running will likely lead to CPU hang considering the CPU didn't fill in error correction bits and will lead CPU to think that pretty much every single byte is corrupt.

- And all in all, even if you did manage to turn on ECC bit, it would only work until the computer gets turned off.

Indeed. But as a newbie, you first need to start feeling that the clock is really ticking. And fast.

I think that during the first year, I just had no pressure at all. I worked very seriously, but didn't feel external pressure. I had just put enough money aside, I was glad to finally work on my own terms, etc.

And thus I thought it was all okay, and that our pace was normal, given the time constraints that we had.

Now I see clearly how much of a fool I was.. ;-)

You can’t easily not use a lot of the data broker stuff that random apps use to resell your data. The data is sold without you noticing.

Maybe you’re cautious, but check the location services for apps on your phone - random third party apps may be selling it to brokers that then resell it to others. Even innocuous apps like free weather apps will do this sort of thing. [0]

Thankfully Apple’s OS updates are making this harder, but that’s relatively new.

The Bluetooth implementation doesn’t require you to input any medical data.

I agree that ubiquitous, free testing would have also helped. I think very high quality exposure notifications paired with quarantine would have been very effective too.

Some companies are saying they’ll cut pay for employees who leave for lower CoL areas, and others say they won’t. But in the long run, won’t most companies shift toward lower default salaries and then offer bonuses or specially-negotiated salaries to recruit workers based in SF/NYC/etc.? I’m not saying this is what I’m hoping will happen — just that it seems like a likely outcome.

This is what I don't get - a test suite saves me time. So, yes, it is free to create and maintain. Because it's much quicker to find regression bugs with automated testing than with manual testing. And this is massively more valuable when things are changing rapidly.

Yes, but marketers don't really care about math. Only about the numbers!

This is hilarious.
I really don't like this point, as an engineer from Europe. Workers who move out of SV and take a cut will still make more than I ever will.

Salary has nothing to do with cost of living. It correlates somewhat, but ultimately all that matters is cost of labour. If we're going for "equal pay for equal work" then employers could easily pull wages down to a global minimum (now that "the market" is the whole world).

I live in London where things are super expensive, much like SV, but I get paid far less. How is that fair?

The underlying studies are not publicly available so all we get are some general statements about them: the study subjects were young (US college students?), and the number of participants are unknown.

The method (the Stroop test) seems sound however, as does the overall conclusion of the article:

> Overall, it seems clear that whenever we face situations where we’re particularly concerned about the impression that we’re making, we may literally have difficulty thinking clearly.

As to the assertion in the headline, it seems that the studies don't answer the questions of whether this is a cultural trait or a biological one, or if it is more profound in youngsters compared to older people.
Don’t forget cybersecurity expert Taylor Swift.
I agree with your point but I have to point out that many cultures have remained distinct after hundreds if not thousands of years of immersion in other cultures. Which is an amazing feat.

However people are both fickle and in many cases easily influenceable by populists and in-group/out-group is the oldest trick in the book. And it still works.

So there is definitely a big risk there.
The page I linked to points out that it's not simply 2-3 vs. 1:

> Below the alpha are several other males with whom the alpha may have complicated relationships. The alpha will have friends in his coalition, who helped him gain control and are helping him maintain power. These could be playmates from his juvenile years, brothers, or new friends eager to increase their own social status through friendly contact with the alpha male. However, there also maybe be a chimpanzee or a coalition of chimpanzees who want to overthrow the alpha and install a new chimpanzee in his place.

Rather like humans, yes?
I don't understand why the current failure of at least the US university system to actually promote long-term thinking and research isn't a bigger issue. How many people's lives could have been saved by research that was never done? How might society have been improved? Like, there's literally millions (billions?) of human lives on the line.
I think this demand is dangerous for people in the West, because it will accelerate the (inevitable) global pay harmonisation. An average Polish software developer gets about 27000 USD per year. In the US, it's 108000 USD/year. Do you really want equal pay? Do you think, being in 6-9 hours away and speaking better English is enough to demand almost four times the salary? I wouldn't want to bet on it.

I'm assuming you intend those links to be single-use only and expire automatically, in which case what I'm writing below doesn't apply. Nevertheless, the problem is big enough to be worth repeating and re-repeating:

Any link that ends up in a browser address bar should be treated as public.

And no, it doesn't matter if you use HTTPS. Ways to leak it are many, but the gist is that it's treated as "meta-data" and, rightly or wrongly, subject to much lower expectations of privacy. A recent scandal was that several common browser extensions collect this meta-data and sell it to marketing companies.

Which marketing companies offer searchable subscriptions (for hefty prices, true, this isn't a $9.99 service), where somebody could for example search for "yourcompany.com", or even worse, "yourcompany.com/authernticate?token=". Yeah, meta-data.

Apply it to yourself my friend, you are wrong again. What you are talking about here is implicit type coercion, which doesn't have much to do with strong vs weak types.

Also in your example you do get a warning, so it doesn't seem to be a problem?
Apple/Google pushing their specific privacy preserving implementation of exposure notifications out via an OS update is not the same as a government mandating surveillance app installs.

The existence of the first does not lead to the second.
Yes it has benefits but also drawbacks; I don't like the tradeoff. You have to give the password manager too great capabilities to achieve the autovalidation+autofill. Maybe if you check and compile the password manager yourself.

Also automating the process entirely means the login process can happen and succeed (or fail and disclose the password to attacker) without the knowledge of the human.

I don't have time for that, so I just run both browser and password manager isolated and copy and paste the password.
The API/protocol is a good way of implementing the idea in a privacy-friendly way although I think everyone should have been clear that it is not as private as simply disabling Bluetooth or not carrying a phone. It is pretty benign. But being honest about that is important if for no other reason than to build trust.

However, the apps built on top of the API have (at least in some instances) clearly fallen victim of scope creep - eg the UK app came with venue check-in functionality (which then suddenly became legally mandated and there was no separate check-in app so you were out of luck if your phone didn't support the API or you didn't want to enable Bluetooth) and a function which tells you how "risky" your postcode is which you can't switch off. There was even brief talk about it being extended to include "vaccine passport" type functionality.

This was, sadly, predictable, and is why many people simply won't trust it.

The other issue with the app-based approach is that it sadly appears to be pretty useless. At least the UK app appears to notify for far too many contacts, large numbers of which are false alarms of one sort or another (neighbours, people sat in different offices, etc). While using Bluetooth proximity was a good idea, I think it's fair to say at this point that in the real world it just hasn't worked.

I've backed 66 "successful" projects on Kickstarter, and <50% of them shipped.

I'n not terribly upset about most of them. Shit happens, and I feel for folks who try. A couple turned out to be plain old scams, and I deal with it by not thinking about it.

A product would have to be pretty spectacular and the creator would need a great reputation for me to risk crowdfunding these days. I don't mind losing a few pounds on good causes that don't turn out, but technology "purchases" is a big no.
Meh. If the Singaporian government thinks the police force should have contact tracing information then the police force shall have it. How v1 of an app was designed doesn't matter. Either Google folds and changes the design to suit or they move to a new app provider.

If it is acceptable to use the data for contract tracing for, what exactly is the argument that the government should be using data for contract tracing but not other law enforcement? I can imagine a few arguments, but they all seem weak. The contract-tracing-by-app can of worms shouldnh't have been opened.
It's not going to be completely equalized, even if everyone goes remote.

I once caught a thief who stole my Nokia MS Windows phone using this feature. Apparently they didn't reset the phone in the start, but put their sim in, and some of their SMS started syncing to my other phone before it occurred to them to reset. One of the message was a Facebook password reset helper message, which had the clear phone number and link to a page which had instructions on how to reset the password.
Clicking on that link, also set a cookie IIRC on my laptop, Facebook started showing their DP as one of the options to login (it would still ask for their password so I was not able to log in to their account). Their DP URL has their user ID embedded in it which was enough to find their profile. Turns out they were friend with another person who was in my college (and where my phone was stolen from). We caught that person, involved the university administration, and made him give us the phone back. It was the whole scandal for a while. University expelled that person later on.
(Going to police was not really an option since this was in India, I wanted to resolve matter on my own if possible even when I had phone number).
