I love this idea. I once worked a 4-10 schedule, and having a weekday off was such an incredibly nice thing. I could run all of my errands while everything is open and spend the weekend actually relaxing.

Flexible work weeks is a real, actually competitive advantage these companies can have over FANG to attract talent. Best of luck to them, and I’ll definitely be considering this when it comes time.
That function isn't referentially transparent as enforced by the language/compiler, doing no effects in a function isn't the same as having a referentially transparent function. Nothing is stopping you from logging/introducing side effects in (a,b) => a + b; you chose not to which doesn't make it referentially transparent. Being enforced or statically guaranteed is what makes haskell have purity and js not have it.
Not much else they can do with the same amount of inbound value. They are trying to go hydrogen but they have a small population, pretty right leaning and only a handful of schools.

That and they don’t play well with the rest of populated country (read BC, Ontario, Quebec)
That makes sense. I think it would suck less if less software overall were closed-source, which GPL seems to encourage in the long term.

> whether it's fair or not, personal connection and trust play a huge role in collaborating effectively and deciding who gets what work, who gets promoted, etc.

You're assuming a bunch of stuff here. There's something to be said for:

1. Having known people pre-covid, and so having a predefined "connection" with them.
2. The kinds of work that would or would not be more susceptible to personal bias. Web development, for example, is more impervious than people-management.

Ultimately what you're talking about is bias, and bias is shit and should be minimised. Remote working shouldn't be compromised as a result of people not being able to be impartial in their work.

Pipeline spills affect drinking water and ecology for US citizens. Fracking has externalities that again, can directly hurt our populace and ecosystems we live adjacent to. Nuclear is just hard to do right, and I for one am glad we are careful with where/when we deploy it.

I disagree with this framing that "we shoot ourselves in the arm." As a US citizen I think a better way to think of it is that we insist on proceeding with caution when it comes to diversifying our energy supply, and while in the short term we do have a dependence on foreign fossil fuels, there are certainly many efforts being made to reduce that. And many of these efforts don't involve looking for more non-renewable oil.

If you think of our energy supply as a long-running software service that can't go down, replacing foreign oil with fracking+local pipelines is like replacing old short term dependencies on new short-term dependencies that we pay maintenance cost on. Negative externalities must be factored into those cost decisions. Similarly nuclear is like building a very complex internal service that, if done right, will pay huge dividends, but if done wrong, can be quite catastrophic and expensive.

Where I last worked it was common to have your manager be in another country, sometimes with a pretty difficult time zone difference.

I was remote but many offices had a butts-in-seats policy because of unapologetically old-school top management. Fortunately there were quite a few middle managers who were able to creatively route around this inefficiency.

It rarely results in death. Even men 65-75 have a only a 3% chance of dying if they get covid. To put that into perspective, according to the mortality tables, those people have a 1.5-3.5% chance of dying in a given year even under normal circumstances.

Maybe. I'm skeptical it's enough though. Clearly, the intention is to see how much they can get away with as monopolists.

"In 2016, with the real-estate market heating up in metropolitan areas across the country, single-family rental companies also started pushing the limits of how much they could raise rent every year. American Homes 4 Rent raised rents by 11 percent between 2016 and 2018; the average rents in the top 30 markets in the country increased by just 6 percent over the same time, according to Zillow. American Homes 4 Rent owned 70 percent more properties in the first nine months of 2018 than in the same period in 2014, but it collected 150 percent more rent. “It’s up to us to educate tenants in a new way that there will be annual rental rate increases,” David Singelyn, the CEO of American Homes 4 Rent, said at an investor’s forum in 2017. “This has been a very passively managed industry for 30, 40 years, up until the institutional players came in.” [1]

They are getting far more work out of us while acting like they are doing us a favor by not dragging us back yet.

People aren't really using their "unlimited" vacation time.

Managers feel welcome to send emails/slacks out of hours and not even ack responses during business hours. Getting hold of them during 9a-6p can take hours, and if you want to have a quick chat put something on their calendar .. good luck finding a slot any sooner than 2 days out.

None of this is sustainable after even a hybrid return to the office, and its accompanying time sucks of commuting/lunch pickup/childcare arrangements and people actually having social lives and things to do after work again.
It might be the only pragmatic choice, so I'm not condemning developers or anything, but that would make me a bit uncomfortable with the company itself.
I'm just addressing this part "This has never been true for consumers. The only “demand” it impacts are companies", it's wrong, it does impact demand from consumers, substantially.

The median person who buys a home at least once buys significantly more than one in their lifetime (the lowest estimate I’ve seen is around 3, 5+ seems more common), “first-time” homebuyers (which are just people who haven't owned and occupied a home in the last three years, not people who have never owned a previous home) only make up about third of homebuyers.

> if you think they that doesn't mean they paid more for the car than they could have with cash up front.

They certainly don't pay more for the car than they do if they paid with cash up front. The price of the car is negotiated, then financing.

Maybe, if the dealerships didn't offer 0%, they would offer lower prices on cars. And maybe if stores didn't take credit cards they would offer lower prices. But once they decide to do it, there's no reason not to take them up on it.

But they probably wouldn't raise the rates. At 0% APR, they are still making a bet that you will miss a payment and suddenly owe back interest. At interest rates today, not many people have to miss a payment to cover all the others.

I'm sorry you don't find the way the world is working right now to be convincing. But I know people who are ready to pull out their checkbook after negotiating, and then are offered 0% APR. So they took it.
If you are paying for developers than no "empathy" is needed. Shitty industry software is due to the business clinging on to legacy systems and refusing to invest in new ones. And often they are right, using the legacy software has better business outcomes than spending the money required to make something better. We see that when the investment is made, we get great software. The camera software we have is remarkable compared to what we had 10 years ago.
South Florida has has an unusually dry summer so far and I think that has kept the due points down. As another comment said, give it time and it'll catch up to you.

While this may sound great in theory, private property in the United States does not work this way. The federal government's role is not to dictate such things; states may, but even state laws may run afoul of the Constitution. Private property is a fact of life and law in the United States and only amendments to the Constitution can change that.
Hence, the phrase "gerrymandering" the boundaries.

> > The more widely this spreads, the more people will realize it's ok to rely on natural immunity, and to not blanket demonize those who are unvaccinated.

> Is this a serious statement? The problem isn't that natural immunity doesn't keep make you immune, the problem is that "acquiring natural immunity" often results in death, especially for vulnerable populations.

It's a real policy question: how much to worry about vaccinating people who already had COVID. The confusion (or propaganda?) downplaying natural immunity means that many people would needlessly get the vaccine while already possessing immunity from prior infection.

In the US, this no longer matters, as we already have more vaccine supply than we have people willing to receive it. Elsewhere, though, where supplies remain scarce, we absolutely should be focusing efforts around vaccinating people who have not yet gotten the disease.

I think GP's test would probably be implemented with property testing (or even better, symbolic execution). It wouldn't necessarily take super long to run.

You're reading beyond what I'm saying. My point is that there is no need to push those who have already gotten Covid to also get the vaccine. I'm not saying anything about getting sick as an alternative to getting the vaccine.

With short term outages like this your probably right that a single point of failure doesn't matter.

It's the longer term outages that are the problem. That's because we start talking about knock on effects.

It's not really a problem if your supplier (and all others) have a short term issue (assuming you don't run super lean). It may be a headache if your supplier has a longer term issue while you set up another supplier (or use your less desired one) but it's not a disaster. It's a big problem if all suppliers are down for more than a short time.

I'd assume people seeing this as a market failure are talking about it in the "this highlights the problem" kind of way, not the "this event was a true disaster" way.
There are loads of UI layers over git. But largely the git cli is just better and more logical. Other than some minor weirdness, its a pretty good tool.

i had a similar use case for sharing my plex media server. i am behind a cgnat so dont have a fixed IP address nor can I port-forward if I wanted to. the solution I came up with, involves zerotier and a cheap vps qith a static ip (required as I cant setup zerotier everywhere (apple tvs, chromecasts, iphones, etc.) the vps acts as a relay to the private zerotier network (single address only, the plex server) which allows anyone i have shared my plex server with to access without any setup.

Canada/the UK have been doing that.

Odds are it does make things more effective rather than less, based on our experience with other vaccines. But IMO it's not wise, because it wasn't studied.

Still, 2 huge peaks separated by 3-4 weeks provokes really big immune responses.

I know this is an anecdote, but.. I run along the Hudson. I see some regulars only during March-October. They have houses in Florida, too, but can "survive" there only during the coldest months.
Yeah, I exist.

Let’s be clear, I don’t do any of this based on how much Apple gets. I have had a lot of bad experiences with developers abusing my information (too many emails, unsubscribe doesn’t work, selling email address) that it’s simply a game I’m not going to play anymore. This isn’t something I worry about with someone like Netflix. But the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent with small developers won’t happen otherwise.

On top of it, ever try to cancel a subscription? Wall Street Journal is one that I’ve had twice in the last 10 years. Once was through their website. When I cancelled, I had to call and got a sales pitch… through 3 reps.

The next was through Apple. Cancelling was one click.

I get why developers and people like these. As a customer I hate them. And I’m just not going to do it anymore.
It's interesting because there's at least two audiences for vulnerability research. The preceding comment is the obvious audience: people wondering if they need to patch. But for some vulnerabilities, the more important audience is computer science. Alpaca might be almost irrelevant to people who operate systems, but it's profoundly relevant to people studying secure transports and their vulnerabilities.

It very much deserves whatever name the team chose to gave it.
> That's an absurdly high amount for what amounts to a visual compliance inspection in my opinion.

This is really outside my wheelhouse, but I could see an argument being made about the capacity of the larger system.

E.g. The direct, marginal cost of installing service to your house is $200 to review the plans, send the guy out for an inspection etc. But the added capacity requirements of you and the 10 new houses in your development puts an upstream sewer out of capacity, costing $50,000 to upgrade. If you don't charge the full marginal cost through the whole system for the upgrade, either the rest of the city is subsidizing your marginal cost, or there's a significant monetary shortfall on the short (say 1-3 year) timeframe, and you'll hope a rate increase is approved to make up for it.
Yes, between the sweaty walk to train, sweatier subway station, and potentially sweaty train car.. I started carrying ice water in my bag in summers.

> Building apartments and tearing down houses lowers the price of apartments and raises the price of houses; it's simple supply and demand.

Do you have evidence of this? I would think increasing the supply of housing would have a downward effect on all housing. Sure, if you're really set on a SFH and there are fewer of them, you'll have to compete. But I think people who want a SFH want a SFH _neighborhood_, and there's an unanswered question to what extent different types of housing can substitute for one another.

The value of _land_ may increase with zoning because development rights are still in limited supply, and the profit opportunity for a developer has gone up. But I don't see many SFH owners clamoring to let their neighbors on both sides be replaced with 5-over-1.
