While I agree with his statement that the first calculations where rather pessimistic, he forgets to mention, that number is MUCH MUCH higher per capita than their Scandinavian neighbors.

- Sweden 14500ish dead out of 10M population

- Denmark 2550ish dead out of 5,8M

- Norway 800ish dead out of a pop of 5,4M

- Finland 1000ish dead out of 5,5M citizen

So 3x worse outcome than Denmark (per capita), 7ish-8ish x worse outcome than Finland and Norway.

Also multiply the 14500ish by 32 (due to size difference) to get comparable to the US and you are around 465.000 dead which is roughly speaking 2/3rds of the US death rate..
Given how things are going at my company, I am not sure that hybrid can work all that well. It really just seems like remote work, but half the time you must work from an open office and hear everyone else's meetings, as many teams are spread all over the country anyway as nobody hired with location in mind during COVID.

Seems like the solution may just be a great realignment of employees. Companies can pick a side and people can move accordingly.

> Were all dancing around the elephant in the room that clearly everyone panicked due to china's lies at the start of 2020

Given what I've witnessed since the start of the pandemic in my own country, it seems more plausible to me that china's actions are a product of people and states not knowing how to deal with an unknown situation and changing it's course as situations unfold. What are the lies China has told that I'm not aware of?

They’re usually open to good faith questions too.
It took me a while to understand the X Window System’s definitions of client and server. An X client refers to an application that uses the X11 protocol, such as Firefox or GIMP. An X server implements the X protocol and connects to a display.

On many computers, both the client and the server run on the same machine. However, if I’m launching an instance of Firefox that is running on a remote machine, then the X client is running remotely while it is using my local X server. Some people get confused, however, since usually we think of servers as remote machines.

I have no issue with the terminology, but different naming could ease confusion.
And the GP would be wrong. Apps have never been cheaper and the App Store is a prime reason. The drive to $.99 or free apps started there.

> Good points. But the story probably isn't complete without mentioning how Erdogan has transformed Turkey from a secular democracy to an islamic something?

And it did so after a decade of trying to get Turkey into EU, while he still had an image of a popular, liberal, progressive, more European minded leader, and possibly even been such to some extend, before he crossed the red lines.

Back then, French blocked every attempt of their accession on a complete pie in the sky grounds, because they didn't like Turkey for them competing with them for influence in Africa, and Arab world. This was at the time when even Greeks agreed to greenlight Turkey's accession

Now the ship has long sailed, relationship are more sour than ever, EU really needs Turkey on its side more than ever, and they regret every second allowing Sarkozy pulling his shenanigans.

This truly could have been avoided if EU was able to police its wayward leaders better.

The weird thing is that residential prices have gone way up, even in cities. It’s been a great year for the value of Seattle homes (https://www.seattlepi.com/realestate/article/seattle-2021-ho...).

So I don’t think this has to do with executives protecting home values. It might be about the business protecting the value of office buildings, though - if they own them, and don’t rent, anyway.

I'm sorry to say this now, but it looks like the most brazen fraud. If I were in the place of people who read such posts, I would complain. For example, I have seen many different posts that talk about ways to earn money. Somewhere they insert links, for example https://www.ironfx.com. Most of these sites do not allow you to earn money, but only tell you how to do it. I don't like when something is imposed.
Capital being money, the flow of which is managed by Fed policy and laws.

So, yeah, calculated from the top. Handed to those closest to the tap.

Look into our transfer payment system, our system of political budgets, and apportionment.

Before it gets to workers, how money is carved up is very much monitored and managed.

Just because one is ignorant of how the system functions does not mean there is a free market.
Who Are the Unvaccinated in America?
This article first says that this phenomenon is not "something that’s wrong with us or our behaviour, something that needs to be controlled, eradicated, tamed, left behind or put in its place."

Then it immediately defines a new term "internal resistance" that's exactly defined as something that's "a part of us" and explains how to work around it or "tame it".

What Is Opinionated Software?
They’re not really in conflict at all. The workflow I’ve been using for ~11 years is:

- Make a branch for my work.

- Commit early, often and with often meaningless commit messages like “WIP” or “try x” or “nope x doesn’t work, do y instead” - in other words, what the work was.

- Push this branch to a remote (either personal or shared depending on policy) largely to synchronise between machines, but also as a backup.

- When ready to integrate, interactively rebase into a set of cohesive units which are independently buildable and have detailed commit messages which explain why the work was done, not what the works was.

- Push _this_ as a pull request, Gerrit change set, or email patch, depending on policy.

This approach gives you the best of both worlds: fast, easy backup and easy unwind when doing work, and a clean history for the benefit of future developers on the project.
It is a logical fallacy to ignore an argument because of one small distruth or lie.

Now that's out the way...

Unfortunately I'm talking about people's emotions and their decision to trust a source of information. This is clearly NOT a purely logical situation.

There is a false expectation that govt groups are always correct and don't admit mistakes,even if they were correct as they could be at the time.
Failure to own these mistakes publically and discuss the shortcomings and failings puts you into the same level of distrust as a scientist view's a snake oil salesman.

I take part on science outreach and one of the most damming things is having to explain when some media celebrity scientist said something utterly stupid and not correct. You then get the envetable "who can i trust" argument and the best way to resolve that is to share more information in a respectable slow and distant way...

Aka actually educating people.
Well said, I do want to point out that some of those who want to go back "to be surrounded by their coworkers" might be missing the fact that those who don't want to back might be because they don't want to be surrounded by their coworkers; they want to be surrounded by people they choose to have relationships with, not ones foisted upon them.

No different to a typical personalisation algorithm then, since they need to track every single action, video, profile and button you click and feed you more garbage to consume; making their algorithm better and more valuable for their shareholders.

As for the creators, they are once again working for the algorithm which can be manipulated and gamed by larger creators.
If “we could all” is constrained to households earning 6-figures, I tend to agree. I doubt a household making $30K/yr could realistically live on $10K/yr.

(Further, if everyone FIRE’d, growth would slow to the point where you’d need to save more to generate the same income from investments. We’re so far from that being any kind of practical worry, that it can be safely ignored I think, but would be a concern if it became more than vanishingly uncommon almost-fringe behavior.)
By that definition, wouldn't saving for retirement be rent-seeking?
I’d add another reason to that: we’re using Git because BitKeeper wasn’t free (as in beer) at the time for general purpose use. Had it been, we’d all be using BitKeeper instead.
This was my exact thought, and was wondering if they were using ‘designed’ and ‘built’ in that sense of being planned and directed.

I’m with you and agree that it’s an unforeseen side effect.

I’d even take it a step further and suggest that along with being unexpected, that the majority of our leaders in the world are oblivious that this is even occurring since they are typically so far detached from most peoples lives.
> Many of these problems seem solvable without forcing employees who want to work remote to come in.

Agreed. Most of the issues that you highlighted that cause employees to prefer being in-office (loneliness, children and other distractions at home, work/life balance) are not attributable to being remote per se. Exacerbated by it, sure. But we should probably be addressing those problems head-on in a more intentional way.

For instance, I've seen a lot of younger devs opining about wanting to go back to the office to reinvigorate their sense of social participation. But I'm not sure that's something we should be encouraging. (It actually runs counter to the work/life balance problem you mentioned.) Compared to cultivating friendships outside of the office, socializing at work is empty calories.

Same for me. I switched from SVN to git professionally in 2013 and used git via Sourcetree on personal smaller projects. I had to switch to the CLI git because so used SVN also on CLI only and could not transfer the documentation to the buttons of Sourcetree. Whenever I help out other coworkers with git do it via commandline. Doesn‘t matter if windows or Unix. What drives me nuts with programs like Sourcetree is the fact that they apply their own default behaviors to make it „easier“ to use git. Like initializing submodules by default. I had a project with a sparse checkout scheme that could not be cloned via Sourcetree because of this. Our submodules where an optional compiler for a 3rd party platform.

> By building up a reputation in China, Blizzard would over time gain leverage to expose Chinese gamers to Western products and build a relationship that benefits everybody.

That’s been the US’s policy towards China for decades, and it hasn’t worked out the way we expected. Rather than Chinese consumers demanding western freedoms, we’ve gotten western companies doing whatever the Chinese government has wanted.

Considering how Google is being strong armed into paying Australian news companies for the “privilege” of being able to index their websites… I am not surprised that Google is leaping on any opportunity to rid themselves of doing business with Australian news. And because of said strong arming, it’s hard for me to see how Google is the one acting from a position of strength here.

I used to feel the same way until I took an unused printer from my office. Now I print a ton of things. Return labels, invitations, envelopes, signed documents, contracts, etc.
It still means it accessed location though; the scan for a printer to set it up on your wifi also collects the information about other APs visible, and that information is equivalent to location.

This is why a wifi scan requires location permission.

DJB's (sketch of a) solution seems more like 6to4, where every IPv4 address automatically gets a /48 IPv6 prefix. It was deprecated due to unpredictable reliability.

It doesn't make sense to have NAT64 on every router, because NAT64 is stateful and needs to be properly engineered into a network. There are also alternatives like DS-Lite and MAP, with different design tradeoffs.

Unions are a counter balance to private companies. They have found demand for labour, and form a group to gain a local monopoly of labour, and use that to gain influence. It is capitalism applied to labour and to me seems poetically perfect opposite force to private companies.
>>Correlation is not causation. The reason rents are high in San Francisco is because it's where the 'owners' of a bunch of high-tech Intellectual Property live.

San Francisco does not have the highest average incomes in the world. What puts SF at the top of the rent rankings is the combination of high average incomes, and the most restrictive housing market in the US.

I recommend you read the article I provided on rent control.
>> "A landlord who takes care of building and maintainig the house etc"

How many actually do this? I don't know anyone who complains about landlords who do something useful. For example: there are people who build/buy and maintain properties to house queer people who've been kicked out of their homes after coming out or being outed. Often by landlords.

No one would hate landlords as a class if useful ones were at all representative.

Company I work for is remote-only and has been for years.

Since they already had that in place the pandemic didn't really hit them from an organisational point of view.

The reason I was so interested in the job (other than the fact the work is interesting) was because they where remote-only before pandemic - so there was no risk of "right, it's over, everyone back in the building".

I'm not sure what someone would have to offer me at this point to get me back in an office tbh.

Working how you want, with everything setup how you want is just a no-brainer.

Of course there are challenges to working remotely but on balance they are no worse (or somewhat better) than working on site.
Many Americans still do not realize Trump won riding on $5 billions in free media advertising[1]

Hillary also edged Bernie in the primaries receiving over $740m over sanders $320m [2]

We also know free media is becoming more effective than political advertising [3]

Which all means if you want to blame anyone in stealing the election it’s the corporate media. Also brings up the point that we really need to reinstitute some kind of equal coverage time, otherwise all these election donation limits are meaningless when media bosses can give billions to their favorite candidates.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
Anecdotes and all, but in my experience anti-vaxxers and the like often have a nearly religious zeal about their beliefs that makes them extremely difficult to have a productive conversation with. I’ve tried the sort of level headed, patient approach you mention and it practically never works — they don’t want to be convinced, or even hear anything that opposes what they think.

And oddly, it’s not just the ones who are arguing in bad faith who are like this. It seems to affect anybody who’s went to do “research” and stumbled upon the mountains of disinformation. The handful of people who are uncertain and haven’t been taken in by disinformation are somewhat reasonable to talk with, but they’re a vanishingly small group. The mind closing aspect of the conspiracy stuff is wildly infectious.
That's a low quality sub if I've ever seen one. Most comments on the few posts i opened devolve into name calling, refusal of anything not fitting the commenters narrative, etc. Anything passes as "sources".
While I truly do appreciate the cooperative tone, as someone who never intends to set foot in an office again except by choice (outside of onboarding), I think this is a rare event that has reduced the power asymmetry and should be taken advantage of.

How do we make execs more comfortable? Simple, we make it so they have no choice to be uncomfortable with. Allow full remote or lose a significant portion of your workforce in the middle of a hiring crunch with already existing insane hiring demand. This may not play at Apple, for example, but it’s what I’ve already seen play out at my company (including for me specifically) and I see no reason it wouldn’t work at any non-FANG. It’s not a bluff or bluster, I’d leave if my company doubled down on forcing people back on a hybrid schedule and truthfully I may leave anyway over frustration with their initial attempts to do so despite exempting me and others.

My team and office is in a very precarious position with two of our best engineers having left over the initial attempts to force hybrid. I truly think if it was forced again my the fallout may be fatal for my team.
