If you could somehow indefinitely maintain 9.8m/s^2 acceleration, as you get really really close to c, your definition of a “second” becomes so long that it basically goes to infinity (time starts to travel infinitely slow for you.) Maintaining 9.8m/s^2 at such velocities starts to require infinite energy. If you were somehow able to reach c, your internal clock would be so slow (and the rest of the universe would be going by so quickly) that would experience the end of the universe essentially instantaneously.

So the practical answer to what the crew would experience on the 355th day of 1G acceleration is: “That’s impossible.” The energy requirements approach infinity, and so does the speed of time for the rest of the universe they’d see out their window.
The threat of starting a new Google?
If they are doing this as a side project I’d be more hesitant to adopt it.

The fact that it’s backed by an entity that is more eternal is actually a plus. Any concerns about bait and switch profit are addressed in the OSS license they pick.

I haven’t looked at the license but I’d hope it’s permissive (Apache, MIT, etc) otherwise, wouldn’t touch it.
What Apple are saying is they don't want to scan your library in the cloud, or have records of the outcome. There's a lot of process involved in them trying to have as little information about it as possible.

I'm used to the conversation in here being extremely US-centric, but realize that this is much less true for European cities with good public transportation. I haven't ever used a car to go to work in my life.

I'm also very concerned about this better world where people stay home to save the planet. The common level of social interactions in the modern world is already low enough in my opinion.

EDIT: It rarely happens this way but in retrospect I feel my comment is way too tame. You think your problem is going to work. The problem is the whole american lifestyle where you live in an individual house and need a car to do anything, your house is an ecological disaster in terms of how much energy you need to keep it warm/cold, and even bringing food to your house will incur a large carbon footprint.

I know the system is hard to changes, but some people need to see the bigger picture, even if you can't do anything about it yet.
Would it? Remote work might incentive overall less density, which, on the whole, leads to a bigger carbon footprint per capita.
As an immigrant in the US from Central Europe, I am blown away by how much time American children spend on extracurriculars vs academics (at least based on what I see around me). My extracurriculars in high school were maaaybe 5 hours a week. Some kids in the US spend 5 hours a day, every day. And don't get me started on varsity sports - that starts to resemble a job!
As a natural experiment, observe the affect of C19 on the transportation sector in this chart:

https://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/browser/?tbl=T02.01#/?f...

Granted an unknown portion of the reduced transportation was decreased economic activity, so presumably the affect of permanent remote work would be smaller.

Where are you coming up with this number: >50% of electrical generation of the entire world from top 5% of power plants -- ?? I went to the link and to the linked article, I didn't see anything about >50% generation, or even what is the actual Wh produced by these plants?

Kind of insane the article and the linked discussion don't include HOW MUCH POWER these places make. I've been reading through those two and I can't find that simple fact.
I once sent 10k sms messages per month for about a year before my plan got cancelled. The plan officially allowed for unlimited sms. It was about 50$ per month, which was much cheaper than 0.1$ per message at Twilio (in Europe).

I received the bill at the end of the month stating the timestamp and recipient of every message. The PDF was regularly around 100 pages long.

Please do. I’ve been looking for something similar for ages. Buffer et all are expensive for simple publishing. I finally bought a lifetime membership to Radaar on AppSumo, but the “post to multiple channels” could be simpler and I’ll never use all the other 100 features they offer.
> Not everyone picks jobs based on top salary. I wouldn't work for Google even if they doubled my salary.

So? I don't really like this kind of non-response response. It's like the guy who joins every conversation to point out that they don't, in fact, own a TV (Onion article, look it up).

I mean, sure, there are people who have enough that they won't take a new job for double the money, but they are so few and far between that it doesn't make sense to structure the argument around them.

You may not want double your salary, but for every one of you there are a few thousand others who want a nicer house, or better schools for their kids, or nice vacations, or an earlier retirement.

When you say you won't even consider doubling your salary because you don't want to work for a perfectly legal company, in reality you are saying that a) you have no one who depends on you and your income for success, and b) you don't care to retire early to do your own thing.

You are NOT saying anything about your principles, even though you think you are.
> "Cost of living" is personal

I live internationally, and the cost of moving between countries on a regular basis pretty much negates the savings of the cheaper locales vs the more expensive ones.

On the one hand, I don’t expect my employer to pay me more because I live this way, but on the other hand my salary expectations are not calibrated to the cheapest locale in the mix because that would be insane.

My hunch is the “WFH == pay cut” thing is just a cover for redistributing money to the employees with leverage, because they are (perceived to be) more valuable.
On one hand we say that IT professional's work cannot reasonably be quantified in a scalar KPI measured by management, on the other hand we like to say that "recent studies" show that some numeric expression of productivity or work done improves with remote work.

Sounds kind of hypocritical to me.
I think trying to fit the populations of North America, Europe, Russia, China, Japan, Korea, the Stans, Mongolia, the Baltics, New Zealand, Chile, and Argentina, not to mention alpine countries like Nepal, into the ideal human habitability zone would go poorly.
No, same applies to searching across tabs without browser plugins.
Except nowhere is this even implied.

The legal entity here is the Linux Foundation.

As they’ve said, this seems like LetsEncrypt for software signing.

I found out about this project 30 mins ago and honestly it sounds great. it would be awesome for us to roll this out even for our internal libraries.
If this were the plan, then this would be addressable in performance review. Remote workers would be less productive and get lower performance reviews and get paid less.

Further, working remotely from Idaho and working remotely from just outside NYC would presumably have the same productivity hit, but they lead to very different pay rates.
YES!!

I was a long time user of Xmarks for online bookmark syncing (cross platform and browser). I was sorely hurt when it was discontinued. I moved over to EverHelper.

These days I don't try to sync bookmarks to browsers, they inevitably get corrupted or lost somewhere shomehow. I just use the EverHelper website as my bookmark manager.

I'd love to find a open source thing I can host myself to fully own my bookmarks too so if anyone knows of that let me know.
Dyalog APL Problem Solving Competition – Phase II Highlights
In grade 8 my teacher basically said they don't do math, gave the students a speech about how you can succeed in life without math, and then declined to teach any math except for handing out a set of math puzzle magazines one time in the middle of the year.
You… consume only political propaganda yet believe your take on people’s motivations is “spot on?” Am I understanding correctly?
That's what I did at VK too. At some point though my opinion just stopped being respected because by then developers were demoted to mere translators from human to computer language.
But: if you can add a benefit that employees value a lot at zero or negative cost to the company, competition will go that way.

No need for regulation in this regard: greed will do the work.

Of course, if the cost to companies is positive, things are less clear cut.

If you want any regulation here, the boring standard econ answer applies: a carbon tax.
Here is why:

> HN's second-chance pool is a way to give links a second chance at the front page. Moderators and a small number of reviewers go through old submissions looking for articles that are in the spirit of the site—gratifying intellectual curiosity—and which seem like they might interest the community. These get put into a hopper from which software randomly picks one every so often and lobs it randomly onto the lower part of the front page. If it interests the community, it gets upvoted and discussed; if not, it falls off.

I remember a discussion on HN on this language like a year ago or so. In the end what I got was some extremely weird snippets for very specific little quizzes that someone claimed were faster than with other languages, the argument that "it's shorter" and "but I can work with it".

So yeah, if you like it, I get it, go enjoy it. But this smugness of "it's actually better and I'm better for knowing it", it irks me. One of the most important aspects of programming languages is that they need to be used, and K is the single hardest language that I've tried to understand, even with documentation on the other screen and reading just short snippets. A language that people will ignore because they don't even know where to start reading is not that good of a language.
The worst part about Safari for iPhone is that they limit the number of open tabs to 500 (it used to be much lower, around 10 on my iPad 2).

Whenever you open one more tab, Safari will dismiss the oldest tab. I've lost hundreds of tabs before noticing that behavior.
No, I'd imagine they need a source that the cost is "extremely high". Are you being purposely disingenuous by reframing the question?
> list.reduce((x,y)=>Math.max(x,y))

Honestly, while I like the clarity, I would still dislike it in JavaScript for performance reasons, because in JavaScript reduce is not optimized at all. And yes, I do work on a code-base where that difference is significant.

Also, that loop can still be cleaned up a bit in modern JS:

let max = list[0];
for (const v of list) {
if (v > max) max = v;
}
Very much agreed with this. I've seen just as many startups blown up by founder drama as I have by a single overworked founder. And like you say, I think the value prop of multiple founders ships from postive to negative as the founder age increases.

That being said, YC has a very clear and vocal preference for multiple founders, which comes back to maybe YC isn't the right choice for you.
And if it doesn't get fixed by sheer manpower? Within 10 years, you've 1024X'd the budget.
> good public transportation.

Public transportation has a higher environment cost than staying at home to work. That should be fairly obvious.
A) that would be clever, and if the bad guys are that clever, they will easily find another way to share their stuff.
B) apple could simply make a policy that your Icloud will trigger a scan / review after x devices are logged into it within a certain amount of time, in order to make sure you aren't using Icloud as a distribution platform for something. This whole scanning locally on device wouldn't be necessary.
That sounds good, but how do you determine this new universal salary? It's either going to be absurdly over market (are you going to pay fresh grads in Hyderabad 150k USD a year?) or absurdly under market (are you going to pay fresh grads in Mountain View 30k USD a year?)
Depends on where people want to live and work.

But a big part of why lower density is bad is because it leads to lots of commuting.

What a bizarre statement. If you could just not pay your mortgage, or not make your car payments, or just walk out of a restaurant without paying and no repercussions, wouldn't you?
Yes, in the sense that you can leave the company. You can always try to negotiate your salary. Google will just say "no" unless you've got enormous weight behind you, which is nearly impossible for most engineers without collective action.
What you're describing isn't the US system of education.

The US system is as bifurcated as the various European nations mentioned in this thread. The elite families in the US do not send their kids to the same (frequently) underperforming schools as the middle class or poor, just as those types of families don't do that in Russia or Romania.

> The American school system isn’t designed to produce high achievers

Which system are you talking about? There is no unified American school system. Nothing remotely close to that concept exists in the US. It's not possible to generalize so broadly. There are many different education systems in the US, varying based on where you live (varying dramatically from one state or city to the next even) and or what your economic capabilities are. Your description, if we were to attempt to utilize it, applies primarily to bottom 1/2 to 2/3 of society, not the top 1/3.

An obvious example would be elite private schools in and around Washington DC. The Washington DC region simultaneously has many of the richest zip codes in the US, and vast tracts of poverty and many horrible public schools. Washington DC, broadly, presents one of the starker examples of the US bifurcation in nearly all things socioeconomic.
I wonder if that holds up for remote workers outside of dense metros who don't have to commute.
I see your point and largely agree, but I think comparing sunsets and having a laugh with friends to endless drudging of clicking is a bit of an unfair comparison, as its taking the best of one side and the worst of the other. Perhaps a fairer comparison would be endless clicking versus standing in an endless queue at the supermarket.

At least in my experiences, the highs in the "real world" are much higher, but the lows are much lower. That doesnt mean you don't have highs or lows digitally, but they're not as extreme. Both my happiest and most depressing memories are from the real world.
> One Google employee, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation, typically commutes to the Seattle office from a nearby county and would likely see their pay cut by about 10% by working from home full-time, according estimates by the company's Work Location Tool launched in June.

> The employee was considering remote work but decided to keep going to the office - despite the two-hour commute.

This seems like a nice little meditation on the loss aversion heuristic. I doubt many people would accept a 25% increase in the amount of their time that's committed to work in exchange for a paltry 11% pay increase. But if you frame it as a 10% pay decrease in exchange for a 20% reduction in how much of your life is devoted to work, it suddenly becomes a lot less palatable.
Google finaly completes its transformation into the new IBM.
It's going to take NSO spyware putting CP on apple execs personal devices to get them to understand... isn't it?

Not that I would ever advocate for such a thing of course.
I was thinking the same thing. If you can find a way to continue trading 10 hours of your work obligations for 10% of your salary, you end up getting 40-50% for doing nothing!

The resistance tends to last only a few generations before the pest population evolves past it.

In areas where BT-Maize gets planted, Corn Ear Worm has been observed to evolve resistances in as few as 5 or 6 generations. You might think you've deployed a pest-free plant, but in reality all you've done is deploy an evolutionary pressure on the target population, and nature has had like 800-million years' practise out-evolving bad shit happening.

Viewed in a systems light, the whole notion is little more than a grift; at best a temporary solution that takes longer to develop than ecosystems take to out-evolve.
WTF?! The color of my right-click menu changed again!

I am sticking with Firefox simply because it is not Chrome, but this is silly. Why does the looks have to change constantly. The browser is where one ends up spending most of one's time these days and it is insane that I have to double-, triple-takes every time Firefox is upgraded.

Don't get me started on videos starting to auto-play after certain updates, "studies", etc. The past few years has been a steady downhill ride.

Update: Apparently, the theme I had settled on after the last update is no longer supported or some such. Setting it to "system" gave me back my light right-click menu. sigh

I meant for Google, where it is. Working from home or the office doesn't really affect compensation, location is the variable.
That is indeed terrifying.

Not to take away from the importance of a well-thought-out program, learning materials, or competent teachers, I was drawing attention to the immense time and effort that some students would invest often with an institutionalized help.

In our case, the programs were standardized, the textbooks were virtually the same throughout the union. Barred special schools and eccentric teachers, all kids were studying the same things at the same time. What differentiated the bespoken Siberians from us was that order of magnitude difference in the time put in. It challenged my sense of normalcy in many ways: people being this good at math without being apparent geniuses, universities teaching math extra 4 hours a day, realization that there is enough undergrad calculus to last 3K hours.
I'm a big fan of mass transit. I live in the US, but traveled regularly to Tokyo for over 20 years. Their mass transit system is awesome.

The social interaction thing is a big deal, but I don't think remote work will be the coffin nail, there. In fact, it could improve social interactions between neighbors.

There's a school of thought, that the air conditioner has been the true bane of social interaction, as everyone used to hang outside, and now, they don't.

That said, a whole lot of places are gonna have to get used to using air conditioners, and that won't be good for the environment.

I remember being in a town in Northern Germany, when a summer heat wave hit. It was awful. No one had air conditioning, and there were no fans to be found, in any stores.
Land isn't the only part of the equation.

What’s not to say the logs of the scans being performed on my device will be uploaded and stored off my device forever anyway?

The point I was trying to make was privacy reasons aside their motivation of doing it on the users device is scummy. Why don’t they mine Bitcoin on my iPhone while they are at it?
Don't downplay the sheer satisfaction you get from closing every single tab at once via the context menu.

I often use Firefox's "close tabs to the right" (I'm certain this is available in other browsers too) multiple times daily.
The Rise of Edge Computing
Generally yes, but you also don't consider your relationship with your bank to be "a family". It is useful for employees to recognize that despite everything that bosses say this is still an adversarial transaction where the bosses want to get the most labor out of the least cost.
That was the side benefits of the advanced track of courses in my high school: the teachers openly mocked the test prep requirements.
It's less true, but still very much true. In Germany for example, commuting via car unlocks tax incentives per extra kilometer traveled.
I think the argument is that it encourages working from a big office, but actually living far away. So you're getting paid a manhattan salary but you're living in new jersey or wherever. And you're spewing out CO2 to get from one to the other every day
This reductive argument is rather tiresome. All human activity has a cost. Humans are social beings. HN may want to shill for being cooped up but that doesn't represent how most of the world live or want to live
