It's the other way around. How are you going to compete with remote-friendly employers if even FAANG benefits aren't good enough to interest me in their non-remote openings?
It's worrisome because this sort of thinking - "We don't have proof that it treats the actual disease, but it does seem to treat with this thing that we think might be (but have yet to prove actually is) a cause of the disease, so let's forge ahead anyway." - has led to so many instructive case studies in purported cures that ended up being worse than the disease. It's a complete abdication of what should be basic scientific and medical principles to decide that an un- or ill-evaluated hypothesis is good and run with it, on no firmer ground than the fact that you happen to be quite fond of this particular hypothesis.
I don't think you're claiming otherwise, but just to be clear, this is generally perceived as a bad thing, psychologically, along the lines of OCD/paranoia/anxiety. This is not a healthy approach, and it's concerning that some responders below seem to think it's a good idea.

The only time America really throws its economic weight around these days is when it enforces sanctions. The countries targeted by these sanctions are not generally regarded as beacons of freedom.

> regularly overthrows weaker neutral governments for similar reasons.

Name one neutral democratically elected government deposed by America since the conclusion of the cold war.

> Someone in South America would openly laugh at the idea that they’re free because of America, given how many democratically elected governments we’ve overthrown down there.

South America has had many leftist governments with a hostile foreign policy towards America over the past several decades. They generally seem to be getting on okay.

Edit: down vote if you must, but counter arguments would be welcome!
As great as the current US medical system is(ha), I'd love to see a near unregulated alternative that's entirely science based.

We currently use Authority based medicine and that has caused unaffordable healthcare and the opiod crisis. If science based healthcare doesn't work, you'd still be able to visit a Physician.

Feel free to argue the details, make sure you include getting heart transplants by a 18 year old science fan.
Probably the most clear-headed on the meeting that morning, to boot.

One thing I really love about working remotely is that I can maintain perspective. It's easier to take a step away and remember to see life for what it is rather than getting so caught up in the miniature worlds created by someone else who didn't necessarily have everyone's best interests at heart.
Time to start providing sources, because I see weasel words. Like "regularly overthrows weaker neutral governments." That's a lie.

"Someone in South America would openly laugh at the idea that they're free because of America"

Uh yeah there are plenty who do.

And I quote:

We contribute to the extensive literature on international influences on democratization and democratic breakdowns by conceptualizing hegemonic mechanisms of regime change and assessing them empirically. Our findings are based on a multi-methods approach and highlight the varying importance of hegemonic influences in post-1945 Latin America. We argue that US support for democratization was consistent in the wave of transitions to democracy that began in Latin America in 1978 and that it was decisive in many of these transitions. While past work has attributed responsibility to the US for the waves of democratic breakdowns from 1948 to 1956 and 1964 to 1976, an examination of the 27 breakdowns from 1945 to 2010 gives reason to doubt this interpretation. Future research could use these conceptual and methodological tools to explore the role of other powers in waves of democracy and authoritarianism.
That is a bit of a strawman argument as then you should also argue for stopping all industry in Germany that has a heavy use of electricity (which battery manufacturing doesn't really compared to other things like aluminium smeltering).

Germany is moving to more renewable sources of energy and Tesla also plans to put solar panels on the rooves of its buildings.
It’s not even close. Banks provide so many services. your bank could be using a cryptocurrency as their backend, and you wouldn’t even know. the technology has almost zero impact to the user experience or efficiency. sorry

I liked the fact that when I left the office it virtually impossible for me to jump back into anything until I got back to the office the next day. Now all my work is just sitting there in the next room just waiting for me to jump back in any time 24/7.

Oh, I've heard the term KPI come up many times.

Never once have those "KPIs" been actually relevant to real world planning.
Uh this is actually a really good argument. Put another way, do you let kids decide how much candy they get to eat? These things are analogous. The way organizations like the military are set up, they always will want more money, more expansion, more autonomy. Hell, give me one example of an organization that won't ask for more money every year given the opportunity. Usually you have to provide value for money, but the military gets away with handwaving about security.

Another analogous situation is infosec. I used to work in that space, and a big problem companies have is trying to figure out how much money to sink into their infosec teams. Good orgs invest in infosec, but they also don't just give all their profits to those teams. The value proposition of security in general is just hard to measure; that said organizations have a tendency to either massively overinvest (because fear, and it's hard to measure) or underinvest (because you don't need it until something goes wrong). A lot of times they start out underinvested, something bad happens, and then suddenly they're overinvested because they are afraid of bad thing happening again. I think this last description is very apt for the US.
The people who care about actual problem solving are still around, and at the core development layer Bitcoin is absolutely dominated by people who care about making a healthy technology over making a profit on their investment.
Politicians use e-waste as the reason use for these RTR bills, but my concern is simple.

I'm tired of my closet of broken devices. I don't like spending money on a new item when I was happy with the old model.

I am tired of not seeing all the trouble codes on my car when it breaks down.

I don't like spending money on electronics because a company won't let me fix their product, restricts information, or spare parts.

I came from a family that was too poor to buy new, and repair was just expected.
I don't see any actual setup guide, just talking about jails..

We all know jails exists, how do you provision new things on the system? what are the limitations?

For instance, I am very aware that postgresql in a jail needs the jail to have shared memory enabled.. it's not by default.
It’s certainly possible. I think it’s more likely there never was any cash and they printed Tether from thin air.

They surely got something for that Tether, and despite their denials I expect they have commercial paper form crypto exchanges if they have any at all. But they may simply be lying about even having commercial paper at all.

> The US long ago lost its puritan influences as a primary...Puritanism is a small fraction of influence in the US at this point culturally.

Are you including the US' views on sex and nudity and the puritan work ethic in that? Sex and nudity in films will make them get an instant R-rating, but murder will only get a PG-13.

The puritan work ethic is the reason Americans work themselves to death and judge the poor: "They obviously deserve it because they must not work hard." It's obviously circular reasoning, but "not working hard" is a moral failing in the US.

This is Big Evil Government. Governments are bigger and more powerful than they've ever been.
Do serious bitcoin supports really believe this nonsense?
> Do computers ever even calculate where the vanishing points are on the drawing plane?

I don't see why they would, but the vanishing points for the X Y and Z axist are just the homogenous coordinates (1, 0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 1, 0) and putting those through your normal view transform and projection will get you the corresponding positions on screen. Note that the fourth component is 0 to represent a point at an infinite distance.
I did not make up anything. I asked you kindly to provide your incredible findings on US military oil expenditures, and the relevant comparisons with other nations like Russia and China, ideally for peer review in a qualified journal or a public blog.
It's a payment solution like PayPal but with better integration, and less evil.

There are options for paying first after you receive the goods, and this is all handled by klarna so its a huge win for the sellers.

I don't know how they operate in US but in EU-land they have been pretty awesome. Probably 80% of online stores in Scandinavia use them.
I find it hard to believe that you spend time on HN and possibly other crypto-focused websites, but have never seen this sentiment?
Over here I have the opposite. I can't stand waking up and will sleep for half the day if I can. Always have been like this. Morning are the worst.

Though, I would attribute this to my mom being a major nightowl and me being one as well. 2nd and 3rd shifts have been the highlight of my life, but those roles are so hard to come by that I just accept a WFH job where I skirt the system and work later while still handling the morning meetings as needed.
They do though. PDS2 requires all banks to have an accessible API.
Too bad 70% of the population does not have a bank acct there
That's unlikely because people would notice the devices working while off. Your power draw comes from two sources unless you run games and heavy apps: display and radios - and there's enough interest and measurement happening there that people would notice radios activating when they shouldn't.

There's also lots of interest in tracking device communication and I really expect someone to notice a randomly appearing device where there shouldn't be one.
Not so worried about energy cost as I am purchase price ;)
As I pointed out elsewhere, the utilities were just an example of cost. The mortgage is about double what I would make with that work schedule.
In Bulgaria there is a little yellow book that carries all the rules in mathematics one would need through all of K-12 and then some. It has quadratic formulas, limits, trigonometry (including sin/cos conversion tables), not as many physics formulas though. Everything is explained succinctly as well. It is a commonly used and required book in all schools and it gives you a quick review of anything you need before math competitions, tests, or just brush up after a while. There absolutely needs to be a book like that for US kids and the baseline math levels here will rise up substantially.
Reading assembly is not really easy, especially in the context of video games using proprietary GPU I/O, it might as well be obfuscated because there is no way you're figuring out how Frostbite handles bullet drop from a page of x86 instructions. Maybe if you're willing to spend years reverse engineering game engines, you can start to form patterns in your head, but even then we're talking about niche specialties inside niche specialties. In no way is it accessible to an average software developer, unlike source code which most developers can read and understand after a few dozen hours.
As long as we're banning things we should also ban all videogames, they are too addictive. There is nothing more precious than time and it can be spent much more productively.

How is this considered aspirations of their parents? One of the most thrilling things in life is to learn new skills and understand how the world works. My child loves to learn new things and is very excited when he does something new.

I am sorry that you feel that way and maybe you personally did not like to learn new things. Don't cast your negative judgement on the enjoyment of others learning guised as "Just let kids be kids". You assume that people doing this are pulling a Beethoven's father or something. Check your assumptions.
Some of the UK Banks are already there. They've started exploring the deployment of smaller office spaces that are nearer where clusters of their staff live. In fact you could almost call the concept a 'branch office'...

... oh wait, that's exactly what all the Banks have spent the last 10 years closing down.
> I was about to reply that AWS shouldn't be relied on for safety-critical systems, but someone is probably already doing that

Wtf, why not? It's drastically easier, and probably cheaper, to achieve that level of redundancy with AWS than doing it yourself.

> It's still dumb, because even AWS occasionally has global/multi-region outages

Really? Like when? The only potential one you can claim was multi-region, was when S3 us-east-1 was down, and with the old default behaviour - if you didn't specify where your S3 bucket is it would pass through us-east-1 to ask where it is - that impacted lazy code that had nothing to do with us-east-1. That's almost entirely on developers and such though, so hard to claim it was a multi-region or global outage.
I believe that’s why, in America, non-landowners, women, non-Christians, former slaves, and non-white people in general, all fought for the right to vote on how that power could and could not be used.

There have been and still are(?) economies where the local currency was only used for 'official' business, and most trade was carried out in another, more stable currency.

But taken in the context of the whole article, it adds nothing of any value. The author literally spends the rest of the post describing how it is useful. Saying 'doesn't seem useful, does it?' at the beginning is a rhetorical device. The author is assuming that the reader probably doesn't have experience using bit manipulations for complex problems.

While in Switzerland we do have some weapons, it is not like Swiss franc is backed by our army, which is purely defensive.

I didn’t address it initially because it is clearly a ridiculous strawman argument to attempt to equate legally required and life save medical insurance to airline travel. But it is really going to make you mad when you find out that health insurance already sets premiums based on height. “Height by itself may also dictate your insurance rates to a small degree. That's because above or below-average heights can be linked to an increase in the risk of certain health conditions.” [1]

>Neither of those points are true

Well, they are, so I‘ll lay it out. Aplummer and James are on a two-person plane flying to Whereverville. James and his luggage weigh 150 lbs, Aplummer and his luggage weigh 300 lbs. It takes 50 gallons of fuel to transport the total 450 lbs. At $2.50 per gallon, the total is $125. So ”the actual cost of the goods and services” is 16.6 gallons ($41.66) for James, and 33.3 gallons ($83.33) for Aplummer. But Aplummer doesn’t want to pay $83.33. He says “So I should pay more for being 6’7”?” and says him and James should both pay $62.50, leaving James “to pay for extra goods and services they aren’t using so [he] can have them for free”.

Alright, then let's have regulated big government instead of unhinged corporatism.
Elections are only close in some states, and its hard to predict which issues voters will care about, especially since nobody has proposed exactly what a "bitcoin ban" would look like. The linked article also mentioned that coinbase number, but it's a little hard to interpret: not everybody having an account will be in the US, nor will they necessarily own any bitcoin, nor, if they own bitcoin, will it necessarily be more than a tiny amount; it might just be a bit of a game - i.e. hard to say what people's opinion on the matter is just by having a coinbase account.

That’s really sad.
I highly recommend the piece by Derek Lowe down thread, but the tldr is basically that researchers have believed amyloid plaques cause the symptoms of Alzheimer's and so the theory is that if you eliminate them, you can treat the disease. This drug gets rid of them. But the gold standard is whether or not the drug actually helps people, not whether it meets a technical definition of "working".

This is the drug equivalent of an engineer following a requirements document and saying to a product manager, "Hey, you said the form has to be submitted through the website. You can see here when I hit submit, it submits! The website doesn't save the data anywhere because that wasn't in the requirements".
You probably also don't know any life-long skinny people who count calories.
The reality is surely not so simple. How come the FDA regulations are written by the companies but then the tests for covid were super slow to be approved. More probable explanation for what is happening here is bound to be complex.
No, we should attack the companies that sell junk food.
Businesses found a way around worker shortage: Raising wages to $15/hour or more
My take on this is counter-consensus. I don't believe that screening drugs based on effectiveness is a proper role for any government agency. There is a role for them to guard against fraud and to protect rights, but not to prevent people from making risky choices. Adults should not be protected from the decision to take any drug, however harmful, even if instantly fatal, if fraud or force is not involved.

These are extraordinarily complex choices that seldom have a right answer for all possible patients. Therefore they should not be made centrally for everyone. We will learn more and faster from decentralized decision makers, that is, from massively parallel computation from a mass population of decision makers.

Better would be for the only role of the FDA in decisions like this to be determining if the manufacturer is making fraudulent claims. Even better (because of greater computational parallelism) would be for this to be legally decided only by individual states. Best would be to treat adults as adults, and let them and their medical providers make such choices.
Well, technically it's a disorder at that point - delayed sleep phase disorder, which I have secondary to ADHD.

Circadian rhythm is genetically determined and all long term studies of delayed sleep phase show it's essentially impossible to change. However it's one of those things that's a disorder only because it goes against what our societies expect.

I used to think I had insomnia for years, because I would try to sleep at "normal" times and struggled. When a sleep doctor suggested I change my sleep patterns to match my genetics, my perceived insomnia immediately disappeared. Now I just have to deal having with a sleep pattern that everyone else identifies as belonging to disaffected teenagers.

FWIW, a recent study found a physical cause for this - something about a genetic mutation that causes our sleep-signaling hormones to be created without the tails they usually have to navigate to the correct spots in the brain. So once again, the people claiming "It's just willpower" are proven wrong. Funny how the more we learn about the brain, the more we realize that willpower as a concept fully within our control doesn't necessarily exist.
There is no amount of domain expertise that justifies thinking other domains require no expertise.
I'm also assuming here, but it does sound like you don't have children of your own.
Urban planning is much longer scale than this pandemic.

In my opinion there should be no free parking in inner cities, and no requirements for parking spaces for property developers. Parking should be possible only in market priced parking garages. Parking options could still be built into apartment buildings, again at prices reflecting the cost of land/building costs. It should be markedly cheaper to buy an apartment without parking option.

Suburban areas are different of course, but cities seem to only turn really alive when cars are reduced and population density exceeds 10,000 per square kilometer.

the opposite of "big government" is not "corrupt government". the FDA has all the authority it needs to prevent dangerous or ineffective drugs from being sold. in this case, the individuals in charge have simply chosen not to do their jobs.

https://developer.fastly.com/learning/concepts/request-colla... fastly's VCL docs are interesting, particularly the bit about request queueing and `Cache-Control: private`. This sounds exactly like the kind of confusion that would lead to this kind of issue, while not being noticed in a low-traffic test environment with fewer simultaneous requests.

> HINT: One of many reasons you should be using Cache-Control and not Expires for your caching configuration is the ability to use directives like private. The private directive tells Fastly that this response is good for only one user, the one that originally triggered the request. Anyone else that got tagged onto the queue must now be dequeued and their requests processed individually.

> Responses not marked private, may be used to satisfy queued requests. Even a response with max-age=0 or the equivalent no-cache can be used to satisfy all the waiting clients, and the next request for the object will once again be a MISS. If your reason for giving a response a zero cache lifetime is that it contains content intended for a single user only, then ensure it is correctly marked private to avoid having this content sent to more than one user.
