I think the reverse is going to happen. In the search for short, expressive names more TLDs are going to proliferate, so eventually many common words will become TLDs. It will be hard to know what is a TLD, except for a few old, well-known ones, like .com, .org, .net, etc.

How to Start Enjoying Online Classes
A hack that has worked for me is to randomly generate a password and write it down on a piece of paper. Use this pass on your
attention-sink websites (for me twitter and ig).

This will make it impossible to login when you aren't home which gradually helps you lessen the habit.

At home, the time to fetch the password is significant enough for me to reconsider the behavior and I'm able to overcome the fleeting urge.

For twitter specifically, Ive replaced the behavior to sometimes checking individual URLs. I've also figured out who I care about (the 4 names I can store in my head!).

I'd say Ive recuperated 95% of my time back using the random written password.

Its based on a lot of stuff. My experiences, my friends experiences, the scientific literature.

I get that everyone loves to say that ketamine and mushrooms are so magical but if you read into these studies they urge extreme caution. The patients need to be careful screened (never mind that study participants self select from previous drug use), the dosages are exact, and they are monitored by professionals. Plus, there is 0 evidence that ketamine helps long term and a TON of evidence it causes severe addiction and withdrawal

Point is, illicit drugs are not some magical thing that will solve your problems. In fact, they will make your life a hell of a lot worse the majority of the time.

I sort of wonder if this is the data behind Amazon’s bizarre tendency to do things like advertise the same GPU to people who just bought one: I’ve always assumed that it’s just bad ML, but I’ve had this nagging thought that repeat purchases are somehow correlated (if only because seeing an ad for the thing you just bought might remind you that you need to purchase a related accessory in a way that seeing the accessory wouldn’t)

> when there are some individuals that don't work from home well

The interesting question is, will this ultimately become an expectation and if you "don't work from home well" then that's equivalent to simply "not working well". There are individuals who don't work well in an office and they were previously just considered poor employees. Now the tables are turned ...

One justification for companies to do this, is to ensure the employee doesn't damage the company property or reputation. An employee told 2 weeks in advance that he will be sacked is a dangerous mind.

What i never understand though, is companies forcing employees to train their replacements, after which they are fired.

Perhaps companies ought to publicize their employees records or performance, if only limited to qualitative ones, so that during quit time, employees are not blackmailed for getting a good record of employment.
I think the argument is more that there are only a handful of states that use the death penalty with any regularity, so most death sentences should be expected in the major population centers for those states.

As long as they are "your" speakers. Subscription sounds like you're renting speakers. I know that's probably a facetious/pedantic point but it strikes to the heart of the fact that we should be calling for more accurate description of the relationship between a consumer and the hardware they acquire i.e. calling a spade a spade. You're not buying a laptop, or an M1 CPU in a metal case. You're buying a magic Apple service delivery box that happens to permit certain other uses. Customer expectations should match description should match function.

I say this as a longstanding iPhone user, and up until recently, Mac user.

Anecdotal, but here in Australia (NSW anyway) we didn't have major lockdowns. Offices mostly shut, public transit was limited to 1/3 capacity, the city was empty, and everyone was saying "we'll never go back into the office".

Our office is back to about 70% capacity. Traffic has returned in the morning. Public transit isn't as full as it used to be, but there are lines to get onto the busses in the morning where I live. Again, probably 70% of what it was before.

That reduced 30% has made the commute in quite a bit quicker I'd say. Price for parking is equal to public transit (I can't say if it was like that before because I didn't have a car before covid).

Sure, lots of offices won't return, but I think not as much as you expect. Our company is 3 mostly introverts. We'd likely be the first people to say "screw it, I don't want to be around people, I'd rather just wfh", but we're all really enjoying being back in the office. We know we're more productive this way too.
I don't know about the research. But the idea is you reduce the tax for the corporation in exchange for more jobs. These high paying jobs in turn generate more jobs. All of these people will pay taxes on various things. The idea is that three taxes will generate more revenue than the last tax from the corporation. It should be a net positive for the state and area, not a trade-off.

This company is insane.

Weak leadership that fostered a political culture that they eventually lost control of, and a workforce so engulfed in politics that they lost sight of focus. DHH playing sick is just the Cherry on top. I can't say that I don't feel an enormous amount of that petty German word towards to founders who love to preach about company culture having this blow up so spectacularly.
>Honest question: at that point why not move closer to work?

Because everyone thinks this first which is why a 1 bedroom in SF is like 5k a month.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but frankly I'm not convinced that monopolies/oligopolic collusion aren't an inevitable end result of any ostensibly "competitive" market environment. Given that capitalism on a fundamental level is about profit maximization, and monopolies/vertical integration/oligopolies and other similar situations are the inevitable most effective way to achieve this, how do you avoid this sort of thing in any system that can be described as capitalistic? I'm thinking especially of situations like telecoms, where the barrier to entry is impossibly high and so new players in the market just aren't a thing that happens (easily).
Ah yes, vaccine reluctance must only come from ignorance. Certainly not education or research into the side effects of vaccines and how these in particular affect people of younger ages with more risks than getting covid.
I agree, the degree of expressiveness that dplyr achieves is impressive. The library has had a great impact on my work. The syntax is easy to remember so you don't have to constantly look up minor variations in usage. Also, the pipelining aspect makes it dead-simple to debug. It's especially powerful when combined with the purrr library: https://purrr.tidyverse.org/
Ask HN: What types of private data is stored on your dev machines?
I'm working on a post about supply chain attacks in development and I'm looking for examples of data/files/services you have on developer machines which should be protected from rogue packages/software. Bonus points for things related to development activities - those that should not be accessible by (for example) a package being installed but are required in other dev-related actions.

For example:

- SSH keys - both for personal use and repo updates

- package repo credentials - npm/pypi/...

- browser cookies for service logins

- cryptocurrency wallets

- confidential documents (scanned / signed documents)

What other types are you worried about they I may not be aware of?

I've suffered from similar problems (anxiety/ADHD/compulsive behavior). Definitely had endless scrolling mess with my sleep and exacerbate mental health issues. I've tried Apple's Screen Time feature, but found it far to easy to bybass. Until they fix that, here's the system that's worked consistently, if imperfectly, for me:

1. Download Apple Configurator and put the phone in supervised mode. This will require you to wipe the phone, so make sure you have contacts, photos, etc backed up. Configurator will allow you to block apps you couldn't otherwise delete like Safari and the App Store.
2. Create a profile on Configurator and whitelist the websites you are allowed to visit. For me, this is mostly just login pages for various apps that use a webview for sign in.
3. Install Focus (heyfocus.com) on your mac. It'll take some tweaking to get the settings right, but it'll allow you to set up a scheduled blocker for various apps/websites. I have the Configurator app blocked during all but a short window at the beginning and end of the day.

This has allowed me to pare my phone down to the essentials. It's annoying from time to time, but it leaves an escape hatch for situations where I've needed more capability on my phone. Been using this for about three years and it's mostly worked.
OP says he's coming from SF. Must work in SJ or around 237.

> I personally used to commute 3 hours every day to get to work from SF
Nope, not weird; there are lots of us. I liked my 20 minute bicycle commute, liked going downtown, liked talking to my coworkers in rich, high-def face-to-face and liked big white boards.
I’m not sure if it’s me, but most “corridor talk” ends up being a complete waste of time and usually not related to what I’m directly working on. Will you miss fringe stuff that someone on some other team might be working on? Maybe. But it’s just my experience that those “random run-ins” with people is just trivial small talk and doesn’t really amount to anything substantial.
You can just structure the payments however you like to prevent that.
With equities you're helping the economy by keeping your money invested in our companies. We need investors capital to remain competitive and we should incentivze you to stay invested as long as possible.

With land you're continually depriving the local community of the space they need to live and work. Every hour spent commuting past your yard is an hour wasted. You should continually pay for the privilege of exclusive access to an in demand part of the nation.
This is already effectively how it works -- it's almost unheard of for a local government in California to kick someone out of their primary residence they own because of back taxes.

Why hire me:

Full stack software engineer with over 10 years experience. Passionate about learning and solving interesting problems. I'm looking for my next challenge, at a company that has strong potential for internal career development, and ideally with some backend code in a stack other than Python/Django or Node - as I like career moves to be opportunities to work with a different stack.

Used to be a pro drummer, enjoy strong team collaboration and would be a good addition to your team, not just your codebase.

Not currently looking for early stage startup roles (they have been my mainstay up to now), but I'll take a good look at any serious proposition.
> I'm playing along with your analogy here

No, I think not. Look here:

> When you form a student-led committee on anti-bullying but mysteriously exclude all the victims

That's, what's the right word, changing the analogy into madness.

I said like this: "Not only group X can have good ideas about something"

and you seem to believe that that means: "X must be silenced" -- that's weird, to say the least.

I never said that, and I don't think that, and I feel surprised, maybe a little bit ill, that you somehow misinterpreted what I wrote, that much.

> They are more dangerous because they often see themselves as kind, empathetic and intelligent - often believing that they can detect and solve deeply complex, emotion-rooted problems such as racial discrimination simply by thinking about it

I suppose there are such people.

> have been silenced and told to shut up

I feel sad for the cases when that's happened to you and others

> our voices do weigh much more than yours

That's odd, you start writing "our" and "yours" as if you now believe that I'm in some antagonist group, just because I said "not only X can have good ideas".

I'm happy that my friends who look different than me, different skin color for example, don't think like that. We think about each other as "we" together, not as "us" and "them".

I think it's good to end the conversation here. In any case I'm probably not replying any further. And if you did reply to this, I think that that reply would misinterpret something I wrote, but I wouldn't reply and point out what that misunderstanding was about.

> Honest question: at that point why not move closer to work? Or get a job at any number of companies closer to home that are desperate for talent?

Just one person’s view: My Bay Area commute is about 2 to 2.5 hours each way, depending on traffic. I make pretty decent Bay Area money but not even close to enough to live in an equivalent house near work. Not by a long shot. Changing jobs means starting back at the bottom. Re-build relationships, re-learn new company’s tribal knowledge, start at zero in the promotion treadmill. I’m too old for that shit. And at my age, (45+) you’re not getting a +10% raise when changing jobs, like what was do-able in your 30s.

So changing jobs is mostly downside and moving closer to work is not financially do-able. Stuck!
I think we live in a pretty skeptical and critical age. There are plenty of decently-educated people ready to jump into any discussion and either a) share their contrary opinion, regardless of the basis for it, or b) point out weaknesses/downsides/concerns as a "contribution" to the conversation.

I don't mean to claim that this is always bad or inappropriate. Just that it's the in thing to do these days.

That actually strikes me as anachronistic, because it became popular to drop "www" (not only in print media, but also in the canonical FQDN) well before these sort of TLDs became available.

That sounds terrible! I work at a nice office with nice people , 10 minutes commute by bike, and most of my colleagues are eager to get back to work, at least part of the time.

I never thought I would feel that way - there were times in my life I dreamed of unlimited home office. But honestly there are things which work better in person, like solving problems on a whiteboard, or picking up on subtle cues in a meeting, or laughing with colleagues over a coffee.

For me, I think 2 days/week in the office would actually be the preferable split.
wow getting downvoted because of ?

Yes it costs less to heat my home than to drive in, but thats not the point.

I have two cars because we have to drive into work and drop/pickup kids. if we're WFH we dont need two cars, but i cant just dump one of then on a whim when WFH might end.

Also the energy costs measurements are just mine. they're universal. We wasted so much energy in this scenario.
Its just that the energy/resources were now both mine and the companies resources.

Humans are in fact, really good at playing god over long periods of time.

You can look at any metric of human wellbeing over the past 1000 years and the results are dramatic.

Take child mortality for example. In the 18th century, the average family suffered the deaths of 3-4 of their children before they reached adulthood.

Then, from 1800 to 1950, global childhood mortality dropped from 43% to 22%.

Accelerating further, from 1950 to 2015, global child mortality dropped again by nearly 5X to just 4.5%. And it's still going down. [1]

The reasons for this are numerous. Reductions in famine through agriculture, beating disease with medicine, reducing War through economic interdependency, expanding education and access to information through digital technology, etc. While we make mistakes in the short term , in the long term, we tend to get stuff right.

The problem is, we're also really good at getting distracted by bad news stories while missing the big picture. And we LOVE the idea of humans being the cause of the end of the world for some reason. It's the basis of most of our religions.

Of course, the arc of progress is paved with setbacks. But before getting pessimistic and cynical because you read some bad news stories, it pays to zoom out a little.
