I might question that a bit, but it's an empirical question that one could talk about. I don't think we've ever asked people not to get angry, though - that would be not to be human. The request is to not allow it to drive one into internet comments in a predictable way. That's also a lot to ask, but at least it's doable.

Can anger lead one to explore and learn things that wouldn't have happened without the anger? Sure it can, and comments coming from that place are more likely to be on topic here. But that's already a later stage of a pretty complex process. I'm talking about the split-second moment that we all experience when a flash of anger first arises, where we're reacting adversely to something we've heard before and are propelled to respond immediately with something we've said before. A lot of internet comments, including HN comments, are generated in that state, and they aren't distinguished by curiosity.
>Pretty soon it will be considered anti-social or outdated to want to own your own independent vehicle that isn’t managed by centralized software systems or rented monthly.

Given the trajectory of society this only makes having an independent vehicle more attractive.
I assume a money-laundering step (aka: a cryptocoin mixer service) needs to be used to practically extract wealth from a criminal activity.

If you directly use the money from a wallet directly related to a ransomware attack, the police would be on your tail almost immediately.

A cryptocoin mixing service is cheaper than traditional money laundering. So cryptocoins are the ideal solution to criminal activities (at least, better than Tide Laundry pod trading, or gift-card exchanges).
Thanks for the kind words and your perspective !

Well, I live in an incorporated city (population less than 1,600) in a rural area, and right now I am picking up at least 9 ssids from other homes.

I also have a decently trafficked street in front of my home with paved sidewalks on both sides.
Some non-CPI items like cars (new and used) and basic commodities like lumber have grown a lot more than 2.6%.

Correction: CPI does include new and used car prices, after a lot of adjustments, at 3.7% and 2.5%, respectively. It's important to note though that the median cost of cars sold has grown much faster than the CPI car numbers. This is because the BLS tries to account for car quality, so even though you're paying much more for a car, they can say car prices "per value" are flat.

Since I cook meat often, I kept track of the Trader Joe's meats from early 2020, to know

Flank steak went from $8.99/lb to $12/lb
NY Strip, from $10.99 to $14.99
Fillet Mignon from $18.99 to $24.99

Chick has gone up the same.

For many food items, inflation is 10% - 15% or more
How much does it cost to replace the foils should you tear them off? Because honestly on a pleasure boat say in Florida where I am your not going to hit a log but you will drag bottom at some point due to shallow waters and tides.

This is just an ad hominem response to Stephen's argument.
Read a bit more and you'll find

> Prices for food at home increased 3.3 percent over the past 12 months. All six major grocery store food group prices advanced over the period, with increases ranging from 1.6 percent (dairy and related products) to 5.4 percent (meats, poultry, fish, and eggs). Prices for food away from home rose 3.7 percent, as the 6.5-percent advance in prices for limited services meals was the largest 12-month increase since data were first collected in 1997.

Doesn't quite fill your 20% claim, but 5.5% for meats and 6.5 for limited services meals (places where you primarily order at the counter/drive-through/online) is quite the bump!
I'm going to believe the massive study over your single data point
On the other hand, anyone who's been trying to rent an apartment in a metro area for the last 12 months also knows that rent has dropped ~15-20%.

I can't speak for you, but I pay a lot more for rent, than I do for groceries.

Makers vs. Managers: The Battle over Remote Work
There's some sort of similar law in California where transferring whole ownership or majority ownership triggers re-assessment of value for tax purposes, and if you can manage to somehow sell a house without triggering a re-assessment / the property keeps the old assessment even though years of appreciation have happened, the buyers can save a ton of money on property taxes. (at least, this was my completely amateur reading of the law at the time)

The last time I bought a house, I thought about creating one or more LLCs solely to own the house, so that when it came time to sell the house, I would sell each LLC one at a time to the buyer. Of course the idea falls down completely in practice in a number of ways [0], but for some reason my mind can't help but consider the law as a puzzle.

[0] you'd never find a buyer who was willing to do this weird LLC purchase instead of buying it through a realtor. also, the buyer would have to have some assurance that, after selling you one or two of the LLCs, you'd sell the remaining ones to them as well under the same terms... but that sounds a lot like a contract to sell all three, which is transferring whole ownership. absolutely any judge would look at this and be very cross with me. All of this is completely aside from the question of whether it's immoral to try to dodge property taxes to begin with (though in this case, I wouldn't be, I would be facilitating the next buyer to do so).

I will be starting that conversation with my boss later this week. At the end of the day, I think the key thing is you need to be fully prepared to move on if negotiations fail and the current job doesn't deliver what you are after.

For myself, I have enough buffer and leads that I am confident I can get somewhere fully remote or at least closer to home before the savings get uncomfortably low, and so that's my red line now - one way or another, I'm not doing the two-hour commute again, it's simply not worth it; I'd rather take a pay cut to keep the life I've become used to over lockdown.

YMMV, but IMO if you're not prepared to move on and your boss senses this, the negotiation will end right there.
Local sales taxes are some of the easiest to get passed. Even in very conservative areas they tend to get passed and renewed. They are popular because the public gets to vote on them existing and because it's much easier to see how the taxes are being spent.

I live in a conservative area right now and can't remember a local sales tax ever being voted down. The only case I can think of was when I lived in the middle of a large city (very left leaning) and the local sales tax was voted down because the politicians pushing for it had not said exactly what it would be spent on other than "special projects". They had previously diverted a good chunk of property tax revenues to building a new sport stadium because the billionaire owner was threatening to move the team to another state. The public wasn't given an opportunity to vote on that gift of their taxes to a billionaire so there probably was both mistrust and a degree of blowback. Other than that case, local sales taxes, dedicated to a local purpose or project list, are popular here.

If the sales taxes all went to DC to be piled together and subject to the whims of whatever party was in charge at the time, they'd be far less popular. Asking locals to pay an extra 1% to renovate and expand the local schools is pretty easy. Asking the entire country to pay an extra 1% to "Make American Schools Great Again" is a much more difficult sell.

I did read it. I have no idea how much of it is true. But it seems fairly likely that enough of it is true to suggest that Bezos has a good mind for both technology and business.

The main claim made in there seems to be that Bezos wanted Amazon employees to switch to a more dogfooded API/service-oriented approach, with clear interfaces between different teams and areas of concern rather than internal private channels, to enable future renting out of hardware and services to customers, and that after he issued that edict people scrambled to implement it. Maybe Bezos originally came to that decision in part or wholly due to suggestions from others, but, either way, I've seen several people say he indeed did do something like that.

He used to program. He has a degree in "Electrical Engineering and Computer Science" from Princeton. Amazon had a ton of spare resources they could rent out. He's a pretty smart guy and is known for thinking about the long-term. It's not a massive stretch to say it's possible he could've made a decision like that back in 2002, when he had less on his plate than he does now.
I've watched several people go through this conversation after a company made this demand. For this to succeed it seems that you need to be indispensable, or be part of an organized group that is indispensable, to the highest person in your management chain who is demanding a return to the office (probably the CEO). If that person isn't aware you're indispensable, you will have to try to convince them.

Best of luck.

There are a ton of companies hiring right now that are allowing ongoing remote work. If your company won't let you find one that will.
It also optimistically assumes the intended readers, living in the future, will have finally adopted the metric system.
My company went from freezing remote hiring 2 years prior to COVID 19 (because they spent tens of millions on a new HQ) to "Hey if you want to work remote, do what's best for you - obviously we've proven it can work." Companies may become more flexible - especially if your line of work is in demand.

Just have a conversation with your manager "It's important to me that I can work remotely. What can you do?" If he/she says "Nothing, you have to come into the office" find another job.
I feel like if I would've been sitting with him
I would have wasted a lot of his time

Yeah I think forcing devs to pair for no reason and simply hoping the magic happens... tends to waste time

What you did is what makes sense to me. Be eager to pair and/or mentor "on demand" whenever it makes sense.

Whenever I've written some weird/tricky code that doesn't explain itself, I make doubly sure to mentor the next coder(s) who work on it.

I find it pays off handsomely. Off the top of my head, I would say that 1 hour of working together can easily replace 2-8 hours of another dev stumbling through things, trying to do code archaeology, and making mistakes that might have been avoided.

Some folks would say "well, just document the code" or "write cleaner code" but sometimes that's simply not reality when racing deadlines, requirements are changed at the last minute, or you're working around bugs in external libraries or devices.

Hi i created a lot of side projects (nothing ever "made it", but still). Basically once i knew how to create an rest api, how to store data in db and how to create a website which called my rest api i was more or less able to build everything i wanted. Yes ML is cool and i used it in some of my project but most of the time i used some existing library so it wasn't a show stopper.

So all in all i would say do not specialise at all if you wish to create a startup you need to know a bit of everything i guess.

That only happened if you managed to sign the lease during the dip. The rents started to appreciably drop last summer, this means that over the past 12 months only people whose leases expired between summer and now were able to lock in the savings. I, for example, was not that lucky. So I'm just not going to have a massive rent increase.
If there is, I have yet to find it. My creative professional work is mostly in the world of audio/music, so my iPad gets about zero mileage from me on a day-to-day basis. Writing code on it is a practice in patience and frustration, and document markup is always more trouble than it's worth with touch controls.

Really, all the iPad does well is consume content. That's why content creators love it so much, and everyone else is either indifferent or ignores them.
Terminology may be a source of complication here. The word "burnout" became closely associated with drug addicts experiencing serious problems back in the 60s and 70s and has had stigma about it ever since.

In my experience "exhaustion" is a less provocative while also being a more accurate description of what is going on. Being in a competitive, high productivity mode as much as possible can take a toll on people especially in the modern always connected environment.
> If you develop APIs that requires feedback and testing, what forces you to keep it secret instead of making it public and clearly marking it as beta / experimental?

The fact that you want feedback from only people you trust.

> There is no benefit to the world in me just cloning Zoom
> > There is no benefit in preventing you from using these API.

Yes there is. If the APIs are not ready, then developers cannot rely on them.

Making them available has costs, regardless of how they are labeled.

> What if you clone Zoom, with a better business model and/or making it open source?

You can do that just as well once the APIs are public.

> Or if you create a product that finds an unforeseen application to these new APIs? Your feedback is valuable too.

It’s possible that there is some unforeseen feedback from a random person that is valuable, but given that most people have no incentive to give good feedback, most of the feedback will likely be garbage.

This is why they partner with people who have proven experience.

>you just didn't realize when it was your little group getting the free pass.

As a lifelong minority with periods of being undocumented or illegal if you wish, I rarely got a free pass. I'm very familiar of the concept of being not allowed to do things o be denied stuff due to status I have no power change.

There was a time I had to beg bank employees to open me an account because I was working for months now and I need to get paid, and not because the law forbid me from having an account. There was a time when I was on a fishing boat crossing borders illegally and it was not because I was too lazy to get a proper visa.

Can you please inform me about the freebies I got? Why don't you tell me about the wonders of having your family being threatened to be send to the place where people often get lost without a trace? Tell me about the privilege of having your father feeding you by working for less than the minimum wage despite being an Electrical Engineer with Masters degree?

If anything, part of the big political events of the last few year revolves around me getting similar rights to those who are not happy with the new situation. I guess they want their underpaid Engineers back.
