I hear what you're saying, but anecdotally I just cut my days back and find myself a lot more energised and engaged when actually at work. I haven't really compared my degree of output yet, but I can at least say I'm a lot more emotionally invested in the results of my work and my job satisfaction is higher. One's mileage may vary.
Even if their time was 5 times as valuable to the company as their pay, it seems very unfair to pay someone 3.7k per week, but require 20k from them if they want to take a week off? That basically means that if you took 3 months sabbatical, and worked the rest of the year, you would actually pay your employer 100k for working those 9 months...
I appreciate your kind words.
maybe they removed stray cats? This was the famous example by Darwin on the equilibrium of ecosystems. If there are no cats, mice proliferate, eating all bumblebee nests, and clover disappears because it depends on bumblebee pollinization.
People who can afford to have all their basic needs met without worry have less children on average.

See: population decline in advanced economies, especially Nordic countries and middle/upper middle class America.

Humans are still animals that act on instinct, and our instinctive behavior is, when faced with dangerous short term threats, to reproduce en-masse.

War torn countries are the best example of this, humans fall back to a mass quantity strategy for survival.

But in a situation of resource abundance? People have less kids and invest more in each child.

No, there are jobs where you do rote things on demand or at particular intervals with no fatigue at 40 hours per week.

Examples from my own employment experience:

- front desk clerk at a hotel

- fuel pump operator

Both of these are pretty dull work that doesn’t exhaust you at all at the 40 hour work week. Most of the time is spent idle and the time spent working doesn’t require much going on upstairs.

I believe it's overdramatised.

The commotion in Bangladesh over missing $1B was bigger not so much because of money missing, but how it went undetected, and covered up.

BAL goondas preemptively abducted country's leading computer security guy, beaten him half dead, and made him shut-up for a mere prospect of him being involved into investigation.
Root required, darn. I have 2 or 3 android phones with bad screens sitting in a drawer I'd like to do something with. Unfortunately they a.) don't have USB debugging enabled and b.) don't support any sort of external display.

Any reading you can direct me to on people implementing NFTs for authenticity of physical art? I've seen it discussed casually but haven't come across anyone seriously looking at doing it in practice.

The flexibility comment wasn't intended as an insult to people who dislike / don't understand NFTs (or to anyone, maybe just a jab at NFTs themselves).
So the argument against an interesting idea that has been implemented successfully in some localities is that there is an unrelated problem (homelessness) that has also been addressed successfully in other places.

I agree that potential problems should always be anticipated. But if the conclusion is "well we have homelessness so we can't offer a service that will be taken advantage of by homeless people in unintended ways" we can just as well agree that everyone with a six figure income move into a gated community and leave the rest of society to THE PURGE.

The obvious conclusion for a self-respecting society should be "let's try free public transit and also throw money and mental health support at the homeless population until they don't exist any more."

Bargaining power fixes:

Provide 'employment transition' by banking vacation carry over and get paid out when someone quits (optionally paid at the otherwise normal rate over time until depleted).

Medicare for all with dental, vision and hearing - Single payer healthcare so that it isn't tied to a job, and helps return those out of work to work if our medical tech is sufficient.

Make current US job benefits (vacation, sick pay, medical co-coverage) paid by taxes on corporations proportional to the pay for workers. Hourly workers should pro-rated with E.G. 20 hours of work for 'full benefits'. Also require hourly jobs to be scheduled in advance in some fair way that doesn't de-facto allow an abusive employer to have someone on call without paying them to be on call.

The socialization of the vacation benefits also benefits corporations, since they would no longer hold those assets on their balance sheet as liabilities.
I think my favourite part of this is the inclusion of square brackets in the variable names [A-Z] and [a-z].

>Developers have a perfect method for making their own software malicious: bugdoors.

I think rather than malicious developers the focus is on malicious build machines. How many things are built solely via CI these days, on machines that nobody has ever seen, using docker images that nobody has validated?

It's much easier to imagine a malicious provider (as in Sourceforge bundling in adware) than malicious developers, I think.

But yes, you're right that reproducible builds don't remove the need to trust the source.

>You have to trust the developer, but in theory, reproducible builds could be used to convince yourself their build server hasn't been hacked. This isn't really necessary or useful, you can already produce a trustworthy binary by just building the source code yourself.

This is pretty much all false though - not only the "just" part, as setting up a proper build environment is pretty non-trivial for many projects, and building everything from source is a task only the most dedicated Gentoomen would take up; you can also think of reproducible builds as a "litmus test". If you can, with reasonable accuracy, check whether a build machine is compromised at any time, you have a much greater base on which to trust it and its outputs. The benefits of having build machines probably shouldn't need explaining.

>You can't just pick one or two consensus servers, because then an attacker can stop you getting updates by compromising any one of them. You will have to do something like choose a lot of servers, and only require 51% to agree.

>...

>The problem is now you've either just replaced build servers with killswitches, or just replicated the same potentially-compromised buildserver.

I really don't understand this argument; compromised infrastructure probably shouldn't be a regular occurrence, and even if so, automated killswitches seem like the vastly more preferable option, no?

As an outsider, it looks to me like the options in America are binary. Either the student can be removed from the class, or they can’t. The problem as I understand it, is that in regular schools teachers are disempowered from removing trouble-making students for a number of reasons, including “equity”.

I agree, that special programs and schools are required for challenging students. But that is a different question.
“Trusting Trust” is one of my favorites.

I bootstrapped Go 1.14 for FreeBSD 8, with a couple of patches for older syscalls, but I didn't go as far as bootstrapping GCC. I wanted to build a tool that would automatically bootstrap Go (gc and gccgo), but I lost momentum before finishing.

More recently, I bootstrapped Rebol 3, which is a self-hosted compiler, but I couldn't get to the bottom turtle since old versions were closed-source.

Not sure about this guide but you should be able to install a linux rom through fastboot instead of a recovery. You won't need a working screen to do that.
Something like PostmarketOS is likely a better choice if it is supported for your device.
Landing a telescope on it would only make sense if orbits around it are highly unstable (like our moon) and if the dwarf planet was geothermally active so energy on the surface would be "easy" to extract (which comes with it's own set of headaches). Orbiting it with a "big for space probes" camera would most likely give us more interesting data.

Using the plant as a Coronagraph if orbiting far out is another interesting idea, but using a near earth astroid would be a better idea as the telescope could be powered by solar panels they.
Not that the experience is that memorable, but wearOS does support the NDK.

Might as well get a garage to weld on a cage driving such a notorious car. It might not be a major issue in your area, but you might one day park somewhere where this does become a major issue.
I'm skeptical this will actually see wide adoption.

I don't mean to suggest this is a universal trend, but I remember being surprised to see that Tora no Ana, a comic book shop with tech company aspirations, advertised "super engineer" positions that let you work four days a week. But it turned out this was a position with higher qualifications than a normal engineer that just gave you the option of working four ten hour days instead of five eight hour ones.

https://www.toranoana.jp/recruit/super-engineer/

While the suggested four day work week here sounds like a real four days and not longer hours, I do think that managing company expectations will be difficult.
While I would like it, unfortunately it wouldn't work for things like customer-facing positions. If the business is open from 9am to 9pm then it still needs the same level of staff coverage. The company could either reduce pay proportionately, or keep paying the same salaries (and increase hourly workers' pay proportionately) and hire more people, incurring a 20% increase in labor costs.

> With few exceptions, video games have been keeping their assets on disk in compressed form for a long time.

Well, we can point to fortnite up there, but also a very large fraction of the games I have on steam can be shrunk by a third just by applying filesystem-level compression, despite it using weak algorithms and small blocks. I'm sure there's compression involved, but it's not even meeting a minimum bar of competency.
Hmm. I think for such users this may be surprising. At the same time, you don’t really have any reason to trust the cloud HSM more or less than the Secure Enclave, right?

Certainly it does increase attack surface, but if Apple said “now I-devices ship with 2 HSMs”, we’d be like, ok, shrug. No?

The fact that this is “remote” is sort of immaterial, I think. You’re trusting Apple’s (bespoke or acquired) stack the same either way, and as far as we can tell the security properties of both local and remote HSMs are the same.

Interesting. I'm wondering why wouldn't it be tied to the display FPS instead of the polling rate though.

So how does Amazon manage this btw? I don't find AWS SDKs to be all that consistent or inconsistent. They are usually good _enough_. Is that all it takes?

By contrast, Google seems to spend a lot of time on their single repo, build the world, approach. For the most part it seems beloved, or at least people try to recreate it outside google with things like Bazel.

I feel like Google's approach is more popularized. Is that because its actually better, just advertised more, or simply consistent enough to explain?

Can anyone shed light on Amazon's approach?
This is possible with any language. Not just C.
The rate limit per IP cam be lower than per user to make this more difficult; you can also offer other options (captchas, less brute-forceable auth factors).

Japan on paper is the wealthiest (non-microstate) Asian country GDP per capita, but if you compare by PPP it's actually not great because of meh economic productivity/import tariffs, and slips behind South Korea and Taiwan.
Thats not the same thing. Imagine there is a 3rd person whos whole job will tell you that they "know" when to sell the restaurant. For this, they will charge a 1%/year flat fee based on the current value of the business. They'd average 15k/yearly for 10 years. They also charge carried interest on your paper gains, so 10% performance on your 100k/year average gain, another 10k/year.

They are effectively making a salary for labor but only paying 0-20% on 25k/year from our business depending on how many other clients they have. This is much lower than the 10-37% most workers pay on their labor.

I'd argue that the business sale is capital gains. I never said it wasn't in my original post.

Carried interest and a fixed flat fee to manage an investment (which most people call a salary) should not be taxed as if they are capital gains.
David hilbert's list is like the opposite of this list. It was a list of pretty fundamental problems with huge implications.

The author of this list specificly states that they are problems that should be easy to work on. That's very different. Most of the ideas are ideas that have been done in the past. Some are just bad ideas, others just didn't catch on, perhaps due to chance or fashion. None of them really have compelling stories behind them.

There's millions of things in the world that could be solved. A list of some subset is boring. The "Why" is the interesting part.

Sometimes I think what passes for appropriately staffed in the West is actually understaffed. What's called optimal staffing in the West is just at capacity, which is a nice way of saying "with no spare capacity."

Of course, with Japan being the land of just-in-time, one could argue that spare capacity is bad -- but that's an oversimplification. Necessary spare capacity is good. What's bad is not being able to address the reasons the spare capacity is needed. Maybe when it comes to humans doing road work there's no way around the need for spare capacity?

Most software employers I’ve worked for had us fill out time sheets, and they didn’t do hourly consulting so no need to calculate hours for clients. I only recently found an employer who does not require a time sheet. I thought this was pretty standard, at least in the USA. There will definitely be someone who replies to this comment and says “I’ve been working 20 years and never had to fill out a time sheet.” So it’s probably not universal.

You're better off getting a single-board computer for this. You'll be able to install your own mSATA drive, and it'll run most distros without any fuss. That said, this quickly escalates to just set up a real NAS box. You don't really want to use an SSD for backup because they can lose data when not used. Alternatively, just go with a cloud provider.

That's not true, you can tell in many ways but one of the easiest is because fsync is quite slow and noisy (on hard drives).

Hm, I can understand where you’re coming from but I think you’re asking for something which provides negligible value and would require a significant amount of engineering effort. Additionally, the way in which you’re expressing your opinions about the C language is needlessly inflammatory. What’s most unreasonable about your comment is the way it attacks people.

It seems like your issue here is really nothing more than the names of languages—your position is that there should be a language with clean semantics, interoperability with C, etc. and this language should furthermore be called “C”. A language exists—Zig—which seems to meet all your requirements except one. The only missing requirement, as far as I can tell, is that it is not called “C”. Let me know if there is something I misunderstand about your position, because I can’t think of a different way to interpret it.

I can see where you’re coming from—but to be honest, unless I am misunderstanding your position, your position seems completely unreasonable, and again, the personal attacks are pointlessly inflammatory.
I mean, it's a sensible regulation but there should be some leeway for edge case situations like yours (if there aren't already - since you were actually sick that should make it OK for you to leave ASAP one would hope)
Well that might be an interesting research project, AWS (especially at the beginning) is not the right party to do that. AWS's success was because it was a drop-in replacement for existing linux servers with easier management.

I do agree this is one of the more interesting ideas in the post. But its also the least satisfying because its so vauge. "Imagine AWS but less shitty and more mainfrane like" is beyond vauge.
Put so much demands that they work for 12 hours per day 6 days per week, while nominal time is 8 hours and 4 days - rest is unpaid overtime.

Somebody has to actually create all the stuff that people consume. UBI doesn't address that point. If these employers have to pay more to hire people, then prices will go up. When you have 200 million apples and 300 million people then UBI won't get the 100 million people an apple. Growing more apples does. And this same process would apply to virtually every good and service people consume.

You might be right on rent, but that would probably exacerbate the price of goods problem further since there would be fewer people willing to do those jobs.

UBI will only make people better off if more goods and services are produced as a result of it. Or alternatively, if goods and services are somehow moved from excessive consumption by the rich to the poor. But that last part is probably a drop in the bucket. Rich people still eat the same amount of food for dinner.
