I believe the billing methods should be changed to "if you don't use the service this month then you don't pay".

If I watch a single minute of Netflix this month then fine, bill me the normal monthly fee. If I don't watch anything then they shouldn't bill me. Same for all streaming services. This would solve that problem nicely for me.

This would also be good for game subscription services.

I could pick part your routine/things as well, but that would be as silly as what you did. Your routine works for you, you can keep it. My routine suites me and I am going to keep it. I see no actual argument here.
It is very hard to perform a physical process while making it impossible to observe it. Similarly it is very difficult to have some object with permanent physical properties that you (the chip) can measure yourself, but no one else can, like a cloud of electrons trapped on an island, or a metal connection between two places.

These are not remote jobs. If you are looking for such, you should change your job filter or check websites offering strictly such jobs.
Then there is another obstacle: timezone. There are a few remote-only jobs which require you to be on the same country or a couple timezones away (e.g. US-only). Then you need to adapt your scope to your preferred region.
The docs[0] mention a .grok.json that's included in the PR. Looks good.

True - but as a recent condo tower collapse in Florida illustrated, "can pay" !== "pay", even when there are no NIMBY, legal, environmental, etc. barriers at all. Thousands of communities in California, Oregon, etc. could be far more resistant to wildfires...but aren't. If New York City gets flooded by another hurricane or few, will angry culture-war America rush to spend enough $billions to build a huge sea wall system? Or will the rich start leaving NYC for higher ground, similar to how so many of them left during NYC's worst COVID spells? Large sea wall and flood-control systems can take decades to agree upon, design, and actually construct.

At the other end of the spectrum - ask a European politician how great it is, when things are just fine in your relatively rich country...but an endless tide of desperate refugees from broken countries are washing up on your shores. (I had that in mind when I originally said "Percent of humanity who...".)

To try to put numbers on it - at least in America, rising sea levels, shoreline erosion, etc. have been chewing away at well-to-do coastal communities for decades now. Getting enough real-world data to say "If it would cost $X to seemingly protect a $Y property for the next Z years, then there is a W% chance that the $X will be spent" would not be all that difficult.

BUT - historical $X / $Y / Z / W% numbers could badly under-estimate the rich-country problems, if (say) public perception was that Greenland's ice sheet was doomed. (Melting that would add ~7 meters to global sea levels.) Perceived Z's would fall, and folks figuring that the deal was "after Z years at best, we'd lose both $X and $Y" might cause W% to plunge.

There are air simulations that demonstrate how surgical masks work. They draw air in from the top and bottom when you take a breath and not through the layer of cloth.

Large air droplets have a harder time physically to go up and down inside the mask, through some emissions do also leak through the same place where air goes in. This basically becomes the leak rate.

As a thought experiment, imagine having a crash test dummy head wearing a surgical masks. In the mouth you put CO2 smoke. The smoke is made from fine particular that you can physical feel as being wet and cold. What will happen? The smoke will escape from the bottom and top of the mask, with very little "clean" air coming out through the front. Do the same experiment but have a squirt gun shooting a few small burst of solid liquid. The solid liquid will mostly get stuck in the cloth until it is fully saturated.

>Even for the best employee who do the most amazing kind of work, being in person and take advantage of politics and "ass kissing" would only help, not hurt.

I find this statement so out of reality. Because often what happens is that this "best employee" gets side tracked by someone who is not actually productive, but just good at playing politics.

So our hypothetical "best employee" will have to play politics in addition to be productive to have a fighting chance. Or they can just downgrade themselves to be less productive and be more political..

Either way, the company losses the actual productivity of the said employee...

>It seems like you are under this very strong impression of people who derive value for in-person work only do so because they are sub-par employees.

I don't think I said that. I said "in-person" work will be essential for the job security of people who survive soley on politics. I don't think the converse, that anyone who wants to work with people is sub-par, is true.
There's not much need to outsource as long as companies are swimming in cheap money. For most U.S companies dev money is barely an issue and in Europe they mostly don't earn that much to begin with.

If this bubble bursts then yeah painful changes will likely come.
Making own food that is the same quality as the hot foods at cafeteria is easily 1 hour a day extra.

Not being around colleagues affects more than just self-discipline, you lose the random encounters with colleagues that often leads to new ideas and collaborations.

These differences are real. And even if productivity is not affected, the new ideas that normally sparked from random interactions are diminished.
it's simply easier to pirate content then to watch it legally. Even if I want to pay for it, netflix (and other streaming platforms) is making it harder and harder to actually do so.

I don't want to pay more for larger apartment just so I can have dedicated office room and exact same argument goes both ways. I live 20minutes away from my office, that is by choice. I was even considering moving closer (so I could ditch car to a bike or maybe even walk) here I read that every one has 2-3 hour commute, that is on YOU and YOUR poor choices.
> you're already overpaid

Assuming that:

a) A market such as the dev labor market is fairly efficient, and increasingly so

b) Agents on both the supply and demand sides transact freely and uncoerced

c) Individual feelings regarding the value of the work being carried out are meaningless

There is no thing such as "overpaid".
TIL that it can be even easier. Thanks!
> Pro tip. They can only cut your pay if you let them. Or, rather, if we collectively let them.

There's no "we" here. I live in Moscow, Russia, and I just got a remote job from an American company that pays 4 times more than my last one did, but still less than FAANG level. There are a LOT of developers all around the world that would be glad to "let them" pay less that what they used to when they were hiring only locally. Because for us it would still be a lot.

I don't think that American developers understand it yet, but remote work, in terms of it's influence of supply and demand of labour is not a good thing for you guys.
In practice people still use cloth masks and nobody checks this. Doesn't excuse the censorship at all.
Absolutely!

I don't have anything to add but this is the be all, end all.
Skilled developers are numerous, but there's an ocean of mediocrity making it harder for companies to find the ones they will be willing to accept. On top of that, when they do find them, these candidates have typically already realized their negotiating power.

Recent numbers at my place of work (looking for a couple of senior hires):

3 months, 200 applicants, 35 full-day technical interviews, 2 offers. 1 accepted. The guy who rejected had a competing offer.

I'm poking around currently, and there's definitely an appetite for companies to get strong candidates in for interview. However, I keep these numbers in mind. The odds are against us.

Mind another perspective?

Google has-from what I understand-absolutely excellent health insurance, 401K match etc. In today's inflationary environment those things are worth more than the $$$. So no worries. The "perks" are only perks if you actually wanted/use them. But if your "perk" is not having to drive in hellish traffic or take public transport for two hours to get to work after waking at some ungodly hour, then I'd say you just landed in clover.

Your tax bill just went down...and if you use a competent CPA/Enrolled Agent, the office space, supplies etc that you need to do your work are a tax deduction.

As an aside, Dear Google, I'm not the least bit techie, but I'd love to sit in my house covered by your great benefits any day...bonus, I'm not whiny. /jk

I often read on HN that it's a norm for US employers to install spying software on developers computers. I don't see how is it different. I would try to avoid from working in such a companies, because I don't feel secure knowing that someone is spying on me.
Sure but if the thing you're fixing requires fixing other parts how do you get to 'one commit fixes one thing'. Its simply not possible sometimes. Unless you hack in half baked fixed for the sake of a 'commit to fix X' then have to change that in the next commit to fix Y, etc. That's just a time wasting exercise.
Myocarditis. Rare enough to find it ways onto the fact sheet.

As for the vaccine insert. There isn't one. Please find it, and not just the fact sheet that's being offered.
I'll save you some time and tell you why you can't find it. Clinical trial practitioners don't need to place inserts in packages for trials or EUA. Its called double blind. And anyone taking this is in the trials.
If the FDA approves this poison, you can be sure that that is intentional genocide.

Let me tell you my perspective as a screeching minority long time Apple user. You may be right. We as professionals that evangelized a lot of people for Apple, don't have power or influence over core target of Apple of today. Yep.
But I can assure you that I personally, as my colleagues will do everything in our powers to hurt Apples public image and brand, to give real information to our clients, friends and families. To educate people why smartphone convenience is slavery to the Tech Lords and how in the future all this data will shape a Digital ID in Social Credit System which will render peoples freedom obsolete.

To all apologists, Apple employees and shareholders who will hold their stock after this, I have a simple message: F*ck You. No. Seriously. Go to hell.
You are created and supported the monster which will eat you at the end.
Food at work caffeteria costs 6€/meal. That's 120€/month. The food is "home style", so just normal food with salads, bread, and desert. Any food I make at home is going to cost around same.

I think this is more about data processing while hiding the data from whoever operates the hardware. Homomorphic encryption could be a partial answer to that.
When I finished my Architecture master, I used to think that Architecture (comfortable houses, well thought cities) could eradicate most problems in the world. As I grew in my career I realized that ghettos and slums will always exist even if they morph. You can't control almost nothing as an architect. Even if you would find a way to control more variables, you would be creating a dystopia not a paradise.

Show HN: Literal – Track your reading and discover your next favourite book
Hi Hacker News.

For the last year we have been working on a website to track our reading and to explore books together. Today is a special day for me, as we are officially launching it. We have a producthunt campaign and as a regular HN-lurker I thought you might also like it.

It all started with being frustrated with Goodreads and how stale and archaic it was. We found more people with similar feelings and so we started working on an alternative.

This is how far we got:
- You can collect books, save them in shelfs
- You can Follow other user's activity
- You can start a club, which allows users to gather and discuss books together
- We built a way to import your profile from Goodreads
- We have an iOS app
- We put a lot of effort in keeping the design minimal and clean

We have so many more features planned and we will add more as soon as possible.

Would mean a lot to me if you gave it a try. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here.
Seems it still doesn't have automatic archives.

I want to copy my emails automatically to a defined location without an addon.
Since working remotely, I've been able to take on more challenging projects because the energy saved from the commutes and dealing with office distractions can be put to productive use elsewhere.

I moved to Tasmania to work remotely. Weekends are alot more interesting compared to Sydney and that helps with recharging. I've been able to afford a 3 bedroom house for the same as I was paying for a 2 bedroom apartment back in Sydney, with its own dedicated office.
The above is totally false.

I work in SV, and know engineers who are actually #1 in the world at particular subjects.

If you aspire to being #1, over time you will become that.

Based on what you wrote, I can say that you do sound like an impostor.

Since you don't know what being world-class is like, I will say this. Talking to an average person about an advanced topic is difficult because there is an experience and knowledge gap that is insurmountable in a casual conversation.
The subscription fixes the problem because you can use the money from it to solve other problems in your life like having insufficient tacos in your stomach.
Scale, in terms of diversity of use-cases rather than requests per second, seems to be a very important factor in choosing custom, semi-custom or ready-made.

Kubernetes being "a platform for building platforms" still rings true to me, and it is extremely good at that.

One major issue was that the culture wasn't great. SREs without teeth and Platform Engineers that fix the shortcomings of development teams with glue more than anything.

As for why contractors, this was the IT division of a big retail business that refused to pay competitive salaries in solidarity with their other workers, but never fired anyone for underperforming (or not performing at all), so the people that actually get work done tend to leave pretty fast. They tried to compensate this with contractors. Some departments were fine, and I loved the team (high standards, created lots of value for teams), but it wasn't a great long term workplace.
I really wish people would just read this and see.

I'm surprised so many people are so angry about the pay cut.

Using my company's simulator, the pay cut seems to be at most 15% of the base salary and most likely less than that. In my case, considering cost of living, it would certainly be most advantageous to work remotely. I would save more money and live in a much nicer place.

No need for being nasty about it, the comment flags clear things about cognitive load of choices, and you hand waive these away. Yet, actively choosing to not take these choices is a valid choice that may free up energy for other activities.
