I've been following this movement for well over a decade now, and it's not a heterogenous community. You see the entire spectrum, from people who just want to get really rich and indulge in expensive hobbies like keeping their own private jet, people who end up working and earning more after they're financially independent, to people who are burned out and can only imagine a retirement existence consisting of beaches and Netflix, plus quite a few bitter folks who mostly care about tearing others down.

The 'RE' sort of implies not working, but I've seen plenty of accounts of people who ended up with varying degrees of work and income after they quit their regular jobs. For the folks who seem to seek retirement above all else, I wouldn't be surprised if burnout is both a big part of the motivation and the reason for why that is their main focus.
If the Irish legal system is like the U.S. the judge can conclude you are lying and throw you in jail for contempt of court.
Well, how do you explain it to yourself?
It's not about people being selfish, at all. It's about basic human behaviour. People don't like when something is taken from them, while they do not feel the same amount of pain when they are forced give up on something they never had.
It's much more pleasant to learn you can save 20 Euros on your bills than finding 20 Euros on the ground, because we value losing what we already have more.

That's the reason why the idea of taxing wealth always stirs more chaos than taxing income. Income is money you didn't have before, while wealth is stuff you own already.

Giving up something you never had for "the greater good" is much easier than giving up privileges or wealth you already possess.

I see philology/linguistics as quite science-y too. You can argue that's just the building blocks of the art (literature), but so is the science-y side of music (which we call "musical language" in Spanish conservatories, see the parallel?) and mostly deals with "syntax" and historical accidents inherited from the western Common Practice Period.

The artsy side of music is very much un-sciency and mostly rationalized post-hoc.
> the nail would reach escape velocity and never come back down to earth

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_depth

I am not a physicist, but iron is about 6500 times denser than air so that suggests that a 5 cm nail would reach a height of very roughly about 300 metres, assuming you fired it upwards with sufficient speed, it remained parallel to the direction of flight, and it didn't melt or burn.

You should definitely allow more space that that if you're thinking about filming the experiment from a helicopter over your magnet lab, but I would guess that even Nine Inch Nails wouldn't be hitting any satellites.

EDIT: OK, that impact depth formula is only applicable to projectiles travelling faster than the speed of sound in the medium, which is about 300 m/s. But without air resistance an object fired upwards at 300 m/s reaches a height of about 4500 metres! There's a big gap between those two rough approximations, so if someone wants a more accurate answer I suppose they will just have to look up the actual formulae for actual air resistance.
There are traditional financial instruments that can achieve these things, like debt.

I don't understand why did they integrate chat with email. For me they are two very different use cases. If not, I will be only using email (or chat). I really don't get it. I had to uninstall chat on my android phone as I was getting double notifications for all chat messages. Really stupid IMHO. Of course there is surely someone who loves the integration.
"sometimes" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Can they use something they find if it's not in the scope of the warrant? (I have no idea?)

No, you're doing it because you can withdraw contributions from a Roth IRA with no penalty. The Roth IRA merely exists as a vehicle to get money out of a 401k with no penalty.

In this situation, there is no difference from if you were actually retirement age and withdrawing from your 401k. Same taxes, no penalty.
Yes, it kinda doesn't make sense. You don't want to "retire". You want to work on the things you care about. There are jobs that pay poorly but are still very interesting. Retirement is what you do when you can't work anymore.

Traveling the world is fun but it's not incompatible with work. You just need to ask for long chunks of vacation, say two to four weeks in a row. If all you do is work a 40 hour work week then given the right schedule you still have half a day plus weekends left for leisure.

What people truly want is FU money. They want negotiation power.

> Nuclear is vastly more efficient than wind and solar, requiring much less copper, concrete, and ground space

That's like saying "solar is vastly more efficient than hydropower because it requires less water, concrete, and river space."

Neither nuclear nor renewables are limited by those things, compared to things like cost, regulatory hurdles, political factors, fossil fuel lobbies, etc. Then there's the actual specific hurdles per energy type, like limited storage/battery tech/lithium/cobalt for solar, volatility for wind, nuclear waste and long-term capital risk for nuclear, etc.

Outlook stopped working on my corporate laptop, seemingly at random. My choices were to use the web app or to schedule (at least a week out) an in-person appointment, drive into the office only for this, and have someone look at my laptop.

I've interviewed a lot of devs in the midwest (Columbus, OH) the past few months and everybody, even new college grads, expect $120k+ salaries. Mind blowing to me as I know devs who've been around ~10 years in the midwest who are only approaching those numbers.
In Switzerland at least, health insurance is definitely _not_ contingent on employment. It is specifically a private issue.
> Furthermore, what are employers meant to do with their workplaces when employees are half-in, half-out with the office thing. Many folks (myself included) want to have 1-2 days at the office a week, but have the flexibility to decide that. That's not going to help my employer decide how much space is needed or whether to renew their lease.

The baseline (pre-pandemic) is that the employer needs to provide enough space for most/all of the workforce to be concurrently in the office.

If the employer allows location flexibility, I don't see how that's a problem for the employer. The employer might feel frustrated about a missed, uncertain opportunity for downsizing the office space. But I wouldn't expect having fewer people occupy those workspaces add significant cost compared to having everyone onsite.

The only real downside I can think of is in a competitive market, where whichever companies could safely shrink their office space might be able to lower the the price of their product / service.
I see your point and have edited my previous comment to reflect that it is Tether fraud risk that was your concern, not Bitcoin per se.

"(According to [1], only 1% of Americans are Muslim, and 60+% are Christian--and I would be shocked if 60+% of American film characters are identifiably Christian never mind [how they are portrayed][2])"

Yet both Muslims and Christians are in the news a lot, and there's a lot of political discussion about them.

It would be refreshing if more mainstream fictional media featured them in realistic, three-dimensional portrayals rather than as faceless stereotypes, wouldn't you agree?
Right ok yea, that is a difference.

I guess "Ah crap, it was on my keys earlier, I must have lost it - I can't do anything" would be a grey area!

Chess is a great game for learning strategical thinking, but I don't think it's really useful to try and reduce real life / business strategies into chess terms. Real life is fundamentally different and more complex than the rigid rules of chess.

Chess is also not really special here other than it being a very old, culturally important game. You could swap it out for go and nothing would really change except some strategy metaphors/comparisons. With all strategy games there are general, high-level strategies that players employ. But is it useful to anyone to make empty comparisons like "forward thinking"?

Actually rather than chess, I think it's better to learn strategy through more modern fighting games like Street Fighter III: Third Strike or Super Smash Bros. Melee. These kinds of games are much more reactive; one can see and intuitively understand their mistakes much more easily than through chess position analysis. These games still have very complex strategies going on, but they combine it with mechanical execution skills.

No matter what strategy game it is, I think everyone should experience that in their life; particularly business people. It really is incredible how much these games can teach us.
I work at a very large company that is not tech (insurance). I'm doing cloud engineering and there are some fun and interesting problems to solve. I'm blown away by how low the expectations are for how much time is put in and how much is accomplished each day - the pace here is just very different than that of a startup or small company. I get more time off than I've ever had and make decent money.

I was on my severance package from mid January until end of may 2021 and I was just working on my apps and doing my hobbies and it was one of the best times I had. Now that I got another job that pays pretty well compared to what I had before or even similar jobs to where I live I feel like meh and I am trying to figure out how to go to the work on my own stuff/hobbies asap.
I understand that life circumstances and general aversion to WFH can make one not like it -- absolutely. And the reasons enumerated are fair.

I don't think your original parent poster meant ill, IMO they were just saying that bending your home WFH setup to your will is achievable but I get it that some people just don't want to -- or their estate is too small or otherwise unsuitable for WFH (like kids not understanding your need to focus).

Where it gets problematic is that even if some people absolutely can't do WFH (and some absolutely can't do work from office like myself for the last 10 years and a half) and even with us respecting each other, the end result is not always productive -- one group doesn't work well with the other (reasons unknown, at least for me?) and it all kind of ends up in "us vs. them" mentality. :(

I think the answer is that it doesn't, and what he actually wanted was the minor prestige of (sort of) owning and funding (part of) Freenode and having his company's logo in the corner of the site whilst leaving the actual operations to the existing staff. That is to say, basically the same status quo as the last few years.

From what I can tell, somewhere along the line some of the staff decided that wasn't OK and kicked out the person who'd actually been in charge of the network since the founder died, his newly-appointed replacement demanded that the Freenode domain be transferred to him personally and rejected Lee and others' suggestion of giving control of it to the community instead, and things went downhill from there with attempts to lock Lee and people seen as affiliated with him out of the network, threats of mass resignations and bogus claims of unprecedented advertising intrusion on the Freenode site, selling people's personal info, etc...

Payment systems are not currencies.
Most tools - email, calendar, version control - are asynchronous. For concentrated work, they function best because people can respond at their own pace. However for all remote work, there is a benifit in syncing up with an online meeting. There I found audio only and a shared screen is the most productive and comfortable.

I found no magic tool or any reason to make it any fancier.
i too cannot think of good responses in the moment, unless it is a topic i am well versed with already.

Interesting to see so much development in crypto but within my tech and personal circles, no one still really uses it. It's still hard to use as it is to send payments vs traditional means with PayPal/Venmo. I also had friends that got into the NFT craze but had a hard time in just setting up a wallet and even more to setup and use MetaMask.

I want crypto to succeed but I'm not seeing the use within the public. Really all I see is the FOMO of getting rich in crypto investments.
I moved from New Jersey to Michigan for a calmer pace of life and cheaper housing (lower house price and taxes). Working from home has been the best life improvement since entering the high-paying tech world.

I now live 4 blocks away from main street in a small town - I can walk to the library for the first time in my life (suburbs suck for walkability).

I hope WFH spreads to as many people as possible as an option they could use if they prefer.

The landing page contains logos for clubhouse, discord, and shippo, which are presumably companies use the service. Does anyone find those usages to be unnecessarily intrusive?

I am starting to think that it isn't really the "news" but the commentary. Most sites will cover many of the same events. There will be different focuses but a large percentage of the information is the same.

But I recently visited my senior citizen parents and got some exposure to Fox News. During their commentary shows they just throw outrage after outrage at the wall and see what sticks. One example was trying to stir up a controversy over not covid testing people crossing the board illegally. Another was a rich part of Atlanta trying to break away from Atlanta and they were blaming it all on defund the police and black lives matter.

This was/is a domain account, right? @yourdomain.com? You upgraded from the free "google apps for your domain" account to a paid workspace account, and now you can't downgrade? If that's the case, that's unfortunately works as intended - that free domain-level tier doesn't exist anymore, so anyone who is on it (myself included) who starts paying and thereby upgrades to one of the current SKUs, can't downgrade to a SKU that no longer is offered.

> If you have a family, small towns can be amazing. Good school districts

Your definition of "small town" must be different than mine, or small towns in your area are a hell of a lot nicer than ours. Or maybe you mean suburban/exurban towns? Those are the only "small towns" with good public schools, around here. Cities (as in, actually in the city proper)? Bad schools. Rural small towns? Bad schools. Smallish cities? Bad schools. There's a belt of good schools in (some of!) the suburban and exurban towns around the major cities, and that's it. Few or none of those towns have the other characteristics you mention, because they're basically bedroom communities for the city they're attached to, with some lame chain retail and fast-food and you go to the city for anything that's actually worth doing.
