Not true at all. Some employees can create profit if you could hire more of these employees you jump. Sales people are easy to measure, if you could hire 100 or 1000 people who make double what they cost you do.

If you want some other area of your company strong you invest in that area. An lawyer during a period where the public is sueing you pays for itself.

Hiring a developer to fix a login issue saves refunds.

A lot of jobs seems less important but they provide support and are net positives. Having a server guy means you have a working server. Having a marketing guy means new leads are coming in. Having more sales people means converting more of those leads.

The ineffiency comes when you have too many people in one department waiting on an understaffed area in some other part of the business.

Politics has become a dirty word in the US, so people simply don't think of their pet political causes as politics.

In my opinion, many Americans especially do not know how to talk politics (in large part because of how much of a dirty word it has become, and also for a bunch of historical reasons) and instead of addressing this - which, to be fair, is extremely difficult to do - people would simply rather sweep it all under the rug.

It's even more complicated when it comes to the workplace because if you don't know how to talk politics you definitely won't know how to compartmentalise political debate and professional duty. To have politics in the workplace you need to be able to passionately, even furiously disagree with someone in one moment and pleasantly collaborate or offer assistance in the next. Either that or maintain a business where everyone has the same political leanings. There aren't really any in-betweens.

Indeed, it’s worth discussing because it was used as a blueprint by some of the despots of the twentieth century; it’s not just something that was figured out after the fact.

These despots were even very open about their plans and methodologies. Hitler specifically cited as inspirations the United States’ systematic oppression and genocide of indigenous peoples, and the Ottomans’ oppression and genocide of Armenians.

This stuff has never happened in a vacuum. Anyone who insists on always arguing from first principles is—most charitably—being a useful idiot for those who know exactly what they’re trying to do.
I've had coworkers with whom I have had cordial disagreements regarding politics and this isnt the issue.

When the head of your division uses the time before meetings to talk politics, it is toxic- the power dynamic isn't even. Coworkers can do the same when they publicly hold discussions and expect everyone to agree- the dynamic is off, and toxic. You simply can't have a civil, earnest conversation in a group chat or email setting, because it is too easy for the group to run away with a misunderstanding.
This is exactly how I use Sublime Text. It's probably a workable development environment, but there are too many solid alternatives for that purpose for me. But as far as a quick text or code editor, there is nothing else I'd rather use.
Good thing we live in the USA and can drive whatever we want to the store.
Exactly. The fundamental basis of capitalism is voluntary exchange. Either party can set their own conditions, and are free to decline the conditions of the other. Everything not part of that exchange is, well, not part of that exchange.
That's not what I intended to say, I meant that within your office or team your voice is simply heard. Thats true regardless of how "affluent" an organization may be.
What’s crazy to me is nothing should stop an intelligent person from submitting papers, doing research, etc. even outside the confines of academia and having a PhD. But in practice you will never get anywhere without such things because of the politics involved and the incestuous relationship between the journals and their monetarily-uncompensated yet prestige-hungry army of researchers enthralled to the existing system.
Don't let the doom porn get to you. I lived in bernal for 5 years and never had a problem. Cole valley is right next to haight ashbury which attracts a fair amount characters.

> AND AND - this is truly outrageous mafia-like behavior - you can't sell your services for less outside of the App Store. That's right, if your monthly photo backup service is $9.99/mo on the App Store, you have to sell it for $9.99 on your web site, even if you want to sell it for $6.99/mo. And if you do sell it for $6.99 in your app, you have to accept the fact that 30% of your profits are just pissed away even before taxes.

>An entire subset of online businesses aren't even financially possible because the 30% Apple cut and forced pricing model would eat up profit margins that would be healthy otherwise. I would happily sell a service for $9.99 in app and $6.99 on web, and give the user a choice, but of course I can't, because the App Store is a racket.

Er, I do remember this being the case a long while ago but it seems to have been fixed in 2011?
https://appleinsider.com/articles/11/06/09/apple_backs_down_...

"Apple this week revised its rules for in-app subscriptions, and no longer requires that subscriptions purchased outside of an iOS application have the same price or less."

And I don't see anything in the current guidelines that would contradict that - did it come back sometime in the last ten years?

(Definitely not a fan of the other guidelines like not being allowed to even hint to your users that they can subscribe on your website or disclose the Apple cut)
I had a long conversation about this a week ago. My worry is that "hacking" things — in the sense of "finding a way to use a program in a way that the developer didn't directly intend" — is getting harder every year and that this may have implications for the next generations of developers and indeed power users.

"View source" is not only virtually useless on many pages, but also unreasonably difficult to access in the first place (if not completely impossible) on systems like iOS.

UX, generally, seems so rigid now that, especially if it's on a more locked-down platform or a web-app, it seems there's often almost no way to use an app in any way other than the developer intended. The barrier to entry for hacking seems incredibly high now.

I don't know when the concepts of batch processing and scripting — or even keyboard shortcuts — came to be seen as a hindrance to UX, but I have a feeling it developed in parallel with touchscreens and the ever-increasing incentive to make apps addictive. In that respect it seems like we haven't really evolved in the last 10 years (at least), but actually regressed to some pre-computer, pre-automation age.

Perhaps everything I've just written is a load of rambling nostalgia. These thoughts come to me almost on a daily basis though.
I disagree with the entire premise of this article, and the statements it makes to prove it’s points are flimsy.

The first three sentences:

> When at work, steer clear of politics. This rule, generally accepted around the world, does not apply in techland. Employees bring their “whole self to work”, including their political beliefs.

As a software manager who has worked at a handful of companies I never once found this statement to be true. I’ve been around people who formed friendships at work and became comfortable enough to discuss political events among themselves on breaks - but never once met someone who thought that it was an acceptable topic for general discussion at the office.

> Internal online forums are full of heated debates

Ok yes, this is a problem and it might be more problematic for tech companies who might be more willing to have internal forms. I believe society as a whole has failed to follow our own interaction guidelines when online. It’s too easy to cross the line without the immediate vocal or visual cues you get in person or on the phone.

> Digital technology has always had a political bent

I disagree and the argument that apple is ‘counterculture’ is their marketing agenda and has nothing to do with the technology.

> Technological shifts have tended to be framed in political terms

I disagree with this too. Open source is simply what it is. Beyond that one argument, it’s such a broad statement it’s insane. Yes, politics likes to frame change in favorable terms- that has nothing to do with the technology shifts themselves.

> tech firms have felt obliged to offer plenty of perks, such as free food, but also “work that aligns with personal values”

How does wanting to have a positive impact on the world have anything to do with the tech field? Only thing I can think of is that there is a lot of really shady tech out their now- anything from tracking people to AI for drones. I don’t want to work for them. I also don’t want to work for a payday loan company- nothing to do with one being a tech company.

> One reason is that more than in other sectors, discussions in tech firms mostly take place over Slack and other corporate communication services

Back to my first concession- this is the root cause of the problem, and with so many offices closed now isn’t really a ‘tech’ problem anymore. Society as a whole needs to learn to to behave in a asynchronous environment.

PHP has changed quite a lot over the years, though. Not so much the core language (although it has) but the ecosystem has matured a lot.
You're going to throw accusations like "supporting the klan" or "supporting the Nazi party" around with only circumstantial evidence? You're one of those political discussion agitators after all.

These two fellows just think that the hats and armbands they're wearing are stylish accessories. And the hand motions? No more than a good triceps workout.
I think that's totally absurd. You're a human wherever you go, you should not be required to put aside what's important to you for most of every day, keeping your head down and paying tribute to capitalism. Work is, and should be, real life.
This is pretty much why I've checked out. I used to love discussions with people who made me see something in a different way, but these rage-driven shouting matches are illiberal (in the classical sense) and toxic. It's politics for addicts.
I don't get it. What's the insight here?
It's not any of those things. It's the fact that your generation likely faced a much different set of problems than the current one does.

Every generation fails to understand the upcoming one. Common thought throughout the ages.
As far as I can tell, Activity Monitor and footprint(1) both grab the phys_footprint field from proc_pid_rusage. I have not seem them diverge yet, so if there is more to this that I am missing I (as the author of a system monitoring tool of this sort) would be interested in hearing about it.

Elsewhere here on HN people are complaining about those scientists who can't seem to replicate their results. But here I'm reading that all those smart programmers can't even handle text selection right.

Apple's APIs don't hide anything, programs on macOS just spawn subprocesses for reasons that mostly have to do with security. top(1) is not a very good way to measure footprint, footprint(1) is (and Activity Monitor uses the same APIs internally for its "Memory" column).
DLSS is so irritatingly restricted right now. It would be a game-changer for VR for X-Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator, but neither of them support it!

It's more on the game devs than the graphics card devs, but getting the game devs on to these modern features feels like pulling teeth.

A few thoughts playing the devil's advocate:

- You would need some sort of barrier preventing movement of researchers between these audit teams and the institutions they are supposed to audit otherwise there would be a perverse incentive for a researcher to provide favorable treatment to certain institutions in exchange for a guaranteed position at said institutions later on. You could have an internal audit team audit the audit team, but you quickly run into an infinitely recursive structure and we'd have to question whether there would even be sufficient resources to support anything more than the initial team to begin with.

- From my admittedly limited experience as an economics research assistant in undergrad, I understood replication studies to be considered low-value projects that are barely worth listing on a CV for a tenure-track academic. That in conjunction with the aforementioned movement barrier would make such an auditing researcher position a career dead-end, which would then raise the question of which researchers would be willing to take on this role (though to be fair there would still be someone given the insane ratio of candidates in academia to available positions). The uncomfortable truth is that most researchers would likely jump at other opportunities if they are able to and this position would be a last resort for those who aren't able to land a gig elsewhere. I wouldn't doubt the ability of this pool of candidates to still perform quality work, but if some of them have an axe to grind (e.g. denied tenure, criticized in a peer review) that is another source of bias to be wary of as they are effectively being granted the leverage to cut off the lifeline for their rivals.

- You could implement a sort of academic jury duty to randomly select the members of this team to address the issues in the last point, which might be an interesting structure to consider further. I could still see conflict-of-interest issues being present especially if the panel members are actively involved in the field of research (and from what I've seen of academia, it's a bunch of high-intellect individuals playing by high school social rules lol) but it would at least address the incentive issue of self-selection. Perhaps some sort of election structure like this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_of_Venice#:~:text=Thirty%....) could be used to filter out conflict of interest, but it would make selecting the panel a much more involved and time-consuming process.
Because the genie is out the bottle. For better or worse, many tech companies have worked hard to make your workplace your social hub in an effort to retain employees and get them to work longer hours. That's already happened, so now we have to deal with the good and bad that came from that. Going backward to how things were is as realistic as uninventing Twitter.

This reminds me of the research showing some tiny percentage of Twitter users, like 3%-4%, are responsible for the vast majority of flamewars. The asymmetry of the internet gives these people the ability to crowd reasonable people out of the commons.

You conveniently start the issue at 100 years ago to frame the issue against Israel.

But it didn't start with the British, nor the Turks before them, nor the Mamluks, Crusader Kingdoms, Arabs or Byzantines. It started when the Romans defeated the Jews 2000 years ago and exiled many of them.
I give my daughter ample opportunities to use hand tools to work on R/C trucks, and generally play with any stereotypical "boy stuff" (I have a lot of stuff like that since I'm just a 40 year old 12 year old) with me from birth, way before any external influences of TV or outside influences.
Guess what, she still prefers to take care of her toys in a sterotypical maternal way - animals, dolls, etc. Both options have always been there. The article rings true to me.
I would tend to agree with this except for the issue of DrDisrespect and Twitch. They kicked him off pretty quickly for some in-character rant about politics. I won’t go into it here but he was considered a top-100 on twitch so I think there’s still room for those “elite ranked” streamers to get the hammer.
If it gets escalated, then it’s no longer a misdemeanor, and worth considering :-)
As much as I disagree with their decisions, the Republicans get to decide Republican leadership.

Just like people get to say "we decided not to associate with you".
I think its less of a "giving up your ethics and morals because you crossed the threshold" thing and more a "leave your coworkers the fuck alone" thing.

Do you think it is a coincidence that this nonpolitical workplace thing is catching on right now, and not, say, 30 years ago? Nobody was calling for a nonpolitical workplace when the issues at hand were sexual harassment and equal pay for equal work. If there were some hiding behind that, they certainly didn't have a critical mass of support behind them.

The problem isn't so much that people bring their ethics to work as it is that busybodies bring their moral crusades to work and demand that everybody join their cause or be labelled a bad, bad person. I, for example, have taken my ethics everywhere I have gone every day of my life. I have a rebellious spirit. I think rules in jobs like banning tattoos are stupid (even though I have none visible). I think dick in a suit dress codes are hazing and counterproductive. What I have not done however is send out an email chain to everyone in my office demanding that my CEO be fired for not doing a press conference on the plight of the furry fluidgender otherkin in Tanzania.

While that’s true, there’s also ambiguity and difficulty involved in deciding what is and isn’t political. (For that matter, is “is this political?” political?)

We should greatly reduce fishing. This would also help human reduce trafficking, since international fishing boats are often run with slave labor.

As for taxing the containers: I think a market based approach would be better. Regardless of what you use in your packaging, you have to pay for it “cradle to grave”. Companies could use whatever packaging they prefer, on the condition that they recapture 100% of the waste, and are carbon / landfill neutral.

Haven’t done anything to back this up, but I suspect buildings and cars are extra shielding for the bulk of what we need to avoid absolute meltdown. I also suspect modern manufacturing tolerances in general are better than needed and most FCC regulation seems to be focused on protecting the device from damaging other devices or interfering with the ambient EMF.

Your link: “ We think the magic is actually in the balance of caffeine and theobromine. In addition to caffeine, yaupon also contains theobromine, which most people know from chocolate. Theobromine is similar to caffeine, but has a milder effect. And its uplifting effect is one of the reasons chocolate is known as an aphrodisiac. Theobromine has health benefits as well!”
