You could just as easily say that the split is

* Working at home: no kids

* Working at office: kids

or

* Working at home: introvert

* Working at office: extravert

There are a lot of reasons to prefer one over the other, and dismissing it as being "obviously" based on one specific factor is unhelpful, and likely to leave you with a skewed view of the situation.

Personally, I live 5 minutes' drive (or 25 minutes' walk) from my office (and on the other two divides, no kids, and distinctly introverted). I love working at home, because it means I get to eat lunch with my family every day, pet my cats when they come over to see me, and take care of random household chores that it's often a bit too much to always cram into the weekend. But I also love that I can go into the office easily any time it's helpful to do so—and I'm expecting to be walking to work again at least a day or two a week this fall.

But while I'm unquestionably part of the tech world, with my everyday work being basically a full stack developer, I'm not "in your highly paid industry", and I think it's a lazy and self-centered shortcut to think of everyone who works in tech—or, worse, everyone who has a choice between working from home or working from the office—as being part of Silicon Valley culture or among the small fraction of Americans lucky enough to be making six figures.

Look outside the techbro culture, look outside the cities, look outside the high-income bubble you're clearly stuck in, and you'll see a lot of people whose life experience and reasons for doing things look very different than what you're used to and expecting.

I've fortunately never been cancelled (I don't think I even have enough of a footprint or visibility for that to happen).

From everything I've observed, the absolute worst thing you can do is apologize to the people attempting to cancel you. It's just pouring gasoline on the fire.

These people will never say "oh, you learned from your mistakes, I guess I'll back off". Most of them don't really care about the truth, they care about signaling. So an apology only vindicates them.

As far as I can tell, the thing to always keep in mind is if you wait a few days these things always pass pretty quickly. The internet has a very short attention span. As long as you never give those people a confirmation that you did something you regret, you're much better off in the future.

Of course you should privately apologize and make amends for things you've done wrong; but those things are always more effective privately and personally done anyway.
I guess technically that's cross border, but not really what I meant.
It seems it's better to stay away entirely from certain sensitive topics. No matter your intentions, no matter what you actually think, it just takes a bit of misunderstanding or bad faith and the whole thing explode.

Should everyone who has ever behaved inappropriately in that area lose their employment when their behavior comes to light? Does it matter if they've since stopped behaving like that? Where do you draw the line? Should they be excluded from productive society altogether if one instance of misbehavior can be found, at any time in the past? Is that best?
>I understand why the companies fired me and don’t blame them. Nobody wants to invite a shitstorm.

I don't think this is why, or at least all of why. If I'm Wizards, and I'm promoting your art, organizing conventions and events with you as a guest, etc., I would feel some amount of moral responsibility for predatory behavior that enables. I would want my game and my community to be safe for women, and I think it would be hard to say that was the case if I were still working with someone who had been predatory. Especially because it was exactly the success of working with big-name clients like Wizards that had enabled that predatory behavior. I don't think I'd be entirely satisfied with "I used to be a predator but I'm not anymore".

I do love a lot of your artwork, but summarizing the reason Wizards stopped working with you as "Nobody wants to invite a shitstorm." is not the sort of statement that makes me want to see you return to the Magic community.

I agree with you 100%, but want to highlight that this pandemic, and remote work, are entirely different things.

How often do we need people in the office? Some places are looking at hybrid schedules, anywhere from 1-4 days each week in the office, and 4-1 days at home.

Remote offices are rarely fully remote anyway; there's usually stuff like fly in for a week every quarter, or go to a conference or offsite together.

Absolutely, never connecting in person is going to lead to work feeling very separate, and a source of motivation we're used to will be missing. Whether that's a needed or even healthy source of motivation (do I benefit having a personal connection to people at work?) is complicated, but I don't think outside of a pandemic that it's actually -missing-. It just varies how much you'll get.

I have yet to see a well-defined playbook for mitigating the Twitter Eye Of Sauron turning on a person that has a better success record than chance. Different things have worked for different individuals (including issuing a public apology, see https://www.vulture.com/2020/12/influencer-apologies-2020-sh... for a collection of them and the result).

It may be the case that cancellations are too circumstance-specific to say what works and what doesn't.

A few incidents with excessively dangerous stuff like smallpox aside, most laboratory security incidents are essentially no worse than what millions of people experience on any given day. Scratched by sick animals, tick bites, mosquitos, bites larger animals, eating sick animals, getting blood from a different animal in an open (perhaps tiny) wound, breathing the air of densely held animals, leeches, etc etc etc.

I mean, not saying labs shouldn't be extremely careful, especially if the pathogen isn't unusually dangerous - but the outside world generally contains quite a few dangerous pathogens too, any more more (and more intense) interactions between host and human in which bad things can happen.

To be clear, these issues are serious and need addressing, but nevertheless the sheer numbers involved would suggest that the security incidents by themselves are unlikely to cause this kind of pandemic. We'd need some additional ingredient, like intention infection with multiple human subjects over a prolonged period, or extremely successful gain-of-function... something that can shift those otherwise billion-to-one odds very, very far.

Out of a kind of morbid fascination if indeed it turns out this long shot actually happened it would be really interesting to read the post-mortem as to which factors contributed, because it kind of has to be a list of bad luck and poor decisions.

(But to reiterate: it's not OK to ignore risks even if they aren't the most likely source of pandemic outbreaks, that's a way too low bar!)

> I wouldn't be poor in the first place!

> I wouldn't be sick in the first place!

> I wouldn't be in their shoes in the first place!

What an argument.
It's a purely mathematical counter to the argument that if plants suffer, people (who consume a roughly fixed amount of protein) could just eat animals instead. That's a contradictory position, because animal protein comes from animals eating plants.

The article is a little vague on why killing plants is bad. Whether it's because you believe that destruction is intrinsically bad, because they have souls, because they feel suffering, or because there's some potential for growth that's aborted, the various reasons are harder for me at least to understand and to build a coherent argument around.

It's philosophically very obvious why killing people is bad, this is so self-evident it's almost nonsense to write it down and inadvertently equivocates it with killing plants: it's trivial to imagine oneself in the position of the victim, or to enumerate the harms being perpetrated, the goals and values being denied, and the rights being violated in the transaction, and conclude that it's wrong. No reasonable person can reach a different conclusion.

It's a little more difficult to extend this empathy towards an especially intelligent animal being killed; while humans have vastly richer communication and more advanced tool use, some animals can have mental and emotional processes not that much different than us. In that case, measuring suffering is more difficult and sometimes leads to surprising conclusions when you do the math. (I said a couple days ago [1] that a reasonable metric for suffering is the number of cortical neurons possessed by the victim, see also [2]). People can disagree about the scale of the suffering or what behaviors are appropriate in light of this problem, but it's easy enough to consider.

Of course, plants, lacking a brain or any neurons at all, are undefined by this criteria. And it's really difficult for me to anthropomorphize a carrot.

Are you sure? I think the yeast produces CO2 before cooking and during the initial part of the cooking (while the drought temperature is below 40°C(???)). Most enzymes a cells have a temperature where they have an optimal efficiency, so I expect the yeast not to be so efficient when the drought is too hot.

But when the drought get hot the tiny bubbles of CO2 expand and when it's too hot and the drought get cooked and the structure around the bubbles is fixed like in a sponge.

That's ridiculous. Lots of people don't live in huge houses where they have lots of options. They're videoconferencing from their home office desk, which guess what -- it's extremely common to have bookshelves behind your desk. Has been for many decades, it's not a Zoom thing.

Down voters: Please make sure you truly understand the concept and history of money, currency, fiat currency, gold and how the Federal Reserve actually works and is structured.

FOMC board members are not elected by the people, yet they control interest rates and the money supply. They are not the federal government and they maintain their own balance sheet of debt. They do have a little oversight from Congress but well Congress likes low interest rates. When low rates become a problem, they will more than likely be out of the office. They also allow America to finance our endless wars with low interest rates.

Digital currency are the product of governments debt load and overspending.

> If there was a stock that advertised it self as never going to pay dividends/buybacks, I'd totally call it a ponzi scheme.

I kind of understand what you mean, but I still feel like that situation would be different than cryptocurrencies. If you are buying stocks you have an ownership stake in the underlying asset. For example, you have the ability to affect change in the policy not to pay dividends/buybacks. So in a sense even in this case you still have something of value.

But with cryptocurrencies you can't affect others in this way. You are all entirely independent actors and the value of your currency is really what someone will pay. It's just a medium of exchange no more no less.

Charter Cities Institute Commentary: Effective Altruism and Charter Cities
Ask HN: How did you overcome misanthropy?
Hey all, serious career question. I am genuinely trying to understand other people's perspective here to allow me to grow personally.
I can say that I have had what I would assume to be a biography some on here might share: Singled out in school as a nerd and bullied for some years, not many but rather close friends in school, university. For the past three years prior to the pandemic, I've been freelancing solo.

I have gotten to a point in my life where I realise I have somehow become a misanthrope and my perspective of being overly critical of others (customers/ stakeholders understanding the tech in my domain, the lack of innovation and ambition in my EU home country, down to colleagues and my girlfriend) is seriously limiting my development. In the light of how other people are changing the world through software each day, I feel like I am surrounded by people and a society limiting and blocking me. I am aware that generally successful people are good at working with, not against others.

Any tips on how to change one's mind to be interested in engaging with people? I have a huge inertia throwing these pessimistic, harmful perspective out the window.
Whats the difference between having sex and being a sexual predator?

Do you just make things up as you go?

The frightening thing about "cancel culture" isnt that its new or eye-opening. Its has always existed, sandboxed, in places called school playgrounds. The world have adults has this annoying thing called due process. Filing cases, going to court, giving evidence etc etc.

Now that the playground rules are stating to proliferate into adult spaces, companies - surprisingly - have started to use playground platforms to make -what used to be - adult decisions about who to fire, who to buy from, whose services to use...from a 240 character platform. No due process, no due diligence, nothing. Just tweets.

God bless us all.

Seems fine to me, but without actually having someone's objection explained it's difficult to say. The problem with these situations is that actually I've definitely witnessed situations in the past where I've seen something problematic/racist and even after explaining to the person what's wrong they still come out saying "I still don't see the problem". I'm not saying you're in the wrong in this particularly case- just mentioning that that's also a thing.

For me Windows Explorer search became useful when I learned about its syntax. I can't remember it exactly right now, but I think it's something like `name:*.jpg` for example (and worst thing is it's localized, so you have to use whatever Windows Language you use). This way it does not try to be smart and just searches for file names. I think that in default mode it searches inside an indexed files or something like that, which probably is useful for ordinary users trying to search inside theirs docs.

Is this comment stating that commuting to an office and dealing with the absence of in-person contact are equally burdensome?

A lot of critical system configuration is stored in the SYSTEM hive which isn't explicitly backed by a file mapping and is loaded at boot via firmware services so this will be fast as it is non-paged and mapped in kernel space for the entire boot session. On newer builds of Windows 10 other hives are memory mapped into the usermode address space of the minimal Registry process. Whenever you do a registry read the kernel will temporarily attach your thread to the Registry process' address space and the read to the UM mapped section will occur which will naturally fault in the data from disk. The requesting process' thread will then be unattached and the information will be returned. Since non-SYSTEM/ELAM hives are memory mapped the kernel's cache manager and memory manager subsystems are the ones that "own" and control the mapped memory. The file cache is tuned based on the particular system's hardware characteristics to be as performant as possible. There are registry-specific caches in between to reduce the need to attach to the Registry process but this isn't going to be a disk IO speed bottleneck.

The program you're thinking of is procmon which is a part of the Sysinternals suite of tools.
your mistake was apologizing and playing into the game at all. Extracting an apology from the accused is part of the cancellation process. Now they don't have to justify at all - they can point to your own admissions and say 'see even he agrees he's a sexual predator'. Now you can be blamed for your own cancellation, so any action against you is permissable. You admitted to 'preying' on women. You gave them an excuse that will never die.

The mob is never satisfied. The mob will never accept an apology. The mob will never stop.

You can never address a mob. They are only chasing you, or you're part of them. The target of the mob is dehumanized and blamed for their own persecution. That's you.

The Mammalian Diving Reflex
I’m perpetually shocked that many professional people (e.g. journalists with masters degrees) have a tenuous grasp at best on: basic accounting, how the US tax system functions, simple financial concepts (simple math on NPV/perpetuities/annuities, Compounding), and financial market basics (stocks vs bonds, market cap vs enterprise value)
