For most of the time I was at startups, a $30M round or a $100M exit was great news. A goal to shoot for. Now the first would be considered a red flag and the second a failure, and it's not all because of inflation or growth of the industry. Everyone has unicorn fever, which favors certain kinds of startups over others. The result is a glut of some things and a shortage of others. It's a kind of imbalance we distributed-systems folks try to avoid, for good reason. The consequences of screwing it up at the level of the whole industry - let alone all of society - are even more severe.

Résumé/CV: https://nearlysmart.com/resume/DarrelDavis.pdf

Email: darrel@davisware.net

25 years experience in many technologies. Experience in working with/in US Fed govt. My preferred situation would be contract W2 but can entertain different options.
I highly recommend anyone reading this to try making their own mustards. I make a couple large batches every year or two (whenever we run out) and jar them up in mason jars and everyone I know raves about them. One batch I made with a growler of hard cider from my local cidery that had been left in my fridge for too long and had gone sour. You can do all kinds of fun things making your own mustard and it's always worth it. Sometimes i'll throw some ginger in for a bit more punch.
I never thought I would say this, but, if anything Nigeria has to pay twitter. What value does govt even provide to twitter, for them to pay taxes.
If anything its citizens are using it as a platform, to voice their opinions/thoughts. For politicians its a pissing contest platform. This is pure BS and Nigerian govt must be ashamed for trying to exploit.
One of my friends likes to recall an experience from about a decade ago: he was working at a small firm and once went to the boss/owner to ask for a raise. The boss explained that right now the times are tough, there is no spare money in the business so he can't do anything but he'll keep his request in mind. Okay, but literally next week the boss drives to the job in a new (luxury) car. When my friend, after congratulating him with the purchase, asked about the money situation he was told to not count other people's money. The friend left the firm a couple of months later, without getting any raise during that time.

Sure, "the goal and purpose of any business to exist is only so that its owner can buy himself a new Ferrari" but... some workers tend to disagree, especially when they feel that they're doing the bulk of the actual of work without a correspondingly large compensation for it.

This is the kind of stuff I love this place for. I'm a huge mustard fan, and love trying new varieties I see at the store, but would never think to Google for such a review(would it help? it's all blogspam anyways). Seems I've got a lot of mustard to try.

FDIC insures your account against bank's overall business collapse. It doesn't insure your personal account against bank robbery of your sepcific account (deceptively named "identity theft").

I don't think you'd get FDIC money back if an attacker got into your account. The bank might cover you if they agree it was their fault, similar to Coinbase.

Whatever pressure there is to push towards getting back into the office, I'm certainly not feeling it on the ground. With teams distributed around the world, to some degree a large amount of my work was already remote. Of course, I can't speak for any of the other tens of thousands of employees.

There is a difference between self insured and government insured. At the end of the day I prefer self or market insured so the business itself is on the hook for a breach.
It's like the geico commercials: you could save up to x% on your car insurance if you switch to Geico.

It says nothing, there are two weasel word exceptions in there.
I’ve donated to the FreeBSD Foundation a couple of times.

https://freebsdfoundation.org/donate/

There used to be a way to give to the FreeBSD Foundation when you bought something on Humble Bundle too, but I haven’t bought anything via Humble Bundle for a good while and last time I tried to give money to FreeBSD Foundation that way I couldn’t figure out how to do it again.

I also used the fundraiser feature on Facebook one time on my birthday and posted that for my birthday I wished that people help give money to the FreeBSD Foundation, because FreeBSD means a lot to me. I also described FreeBSD a bit in the post and why I wanted to do this fundraiser. So a couple of friends and family members contributed to this fundraiser of mine. It was a very small scale thing, but it was nice to do this and I appreciated that those friends and family members helped me donate a bit of money for a project that I find important.

Could you explain why it would be in Microsoft's interests to bias the outcome of this study? Presumably the organization as a whole is mostly interested in output. Individual managers might have ego invested in their workers being local, but the organization probably doesn't, unless it impacts productivity. So MS' interests here seem aligned with determining the truth of the situation.
> In terms of time, these vaccines very much have not been fully vetted in the same manner as any other vaccine.

This is a tired, out-dated argument, all 3 vaccines in distribution in the US have been fully vetted and passed all tests, there is no more "emergency approval". If time is what you want then you're just saying there is absolutely nothing that will convince you to take it.

> In part, yes. However there seems to be roughly an equal amount of people who have never had any objection to vaccines in the past that now do.

Yes, now that is has become a political issue instead of a scientific one (like it should be), many more people have been duped.

> what about finding safer adjuvants?

How about being realistic about the side effects of the vaccine? This is one of the most studied, most widely distributed vaccines in history. If there any data to back up any sort of hesitancy, I believe the amount of people desperately searching for something useful to use in their war on science would find it.

> you're saying they should be censored?

I'm saying viewpoints that obviously have absolutely no basis in reality (Bill Gates microchips, magnetizing face spoons, etc) should not have a place to flourish alongside real scientific discourse. How about we vet an idea before we let the masses with little to no critical thinking skills consume it.

> doesn't make the scientist's conclusion wrong either, just because the nut believes it too.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here, however if a "nut" says something sane, that doesn't make them sane. I think the larger problem is there are a lot of people with a lot of money to make by preaching vaccine hesitancy. If people are maliciously influencing public opinion for personal gain and the detriment of public good, how do you suggest we combat that?

I agree censorship is not the answer but I also don't support giving a platform to people in a society where people will accept absolutely anything in their echo chamber without question or serious discourse. The media has lost the confidence of the people and everyone is so caught up in bipartisanship, it's a literal crime the vaccine hesitancy falls along political lines, if anything that should tell you it is not based in science.
The important part is having physical access to the phone. A targeted attack against you now requires a physical element, rather than being entirely online.
Yep exactly, the adversarial system is how we do things in court, because it's the best method for truth discovery.
If you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But ten years later somehow, you don't quite know what problems are worth working on.

That interest rates were on downward trend for centuries has already been observed by Adam Smith in “Wealth of Nations” in 1776. He claimed that governments can borrow at 2%, and private borrowers of good repute at 2.5%. Considering that inflation at the time was almost 0%, these were basically real rates, and would today correspond to nominal rates of 4-4.5%. Point here is that in England, rates were already very very low in 18th century.

I like thinking about ways to make technology approachable -- translating nerdy stuff into tools normal people can use. Computers are magical to me and I want to contribute my work to something more meaningful than, say, advertising. Instead, I want to bring this magical-feeling to people through my work.

My career has manifested in digital design, but if given the chance I would love to try designing physical things, too. In my work I value simplicity, accessibility, and reusability (I was a front-end dev for four years and understand the value of designs that can be built easily).

I'm a boring designer. In my free time I design the most boring Mac apps. For example, here is a mockup interface I made for an open source macOS app that I love: https://dillonbrown.me/images/mockups/finicky-1.png. To me, boring is beautiful, boring is usable and reliable. I don't make dribbble show-ponies, I make workhorses.

Please take a look at my website (https://dillonbrown.me) to get a sample of the kind of work I can make for you.
If that were the law, someone with inside information could still give valuable suggestions to their friends, or people they want to be friends with. The result would be as unfair as if they themselves were doing the trading.
They already support other forms of 2FA, so I guess you mean they should turn off support for SMS. Keep in mind that for many users the alternative is no 2FA at all (they don't browse HN and Krebs), which is much, much worse.

Coinbase should continue doing what they are doing, which is to support SMS, and educate and encourage users where possible to use something else instead.

Coinbase says hackers stole cryptocurrency from at least 6k customers
I'm done with anything crypto. Daily. Bug after bug, breach after breach. I just don't see how, at any point in the future, crypto gets any more secure than, say, Microsoft Windows. There'll always be a bug, there'll always be a fix needed. And this isn't, "oh, my software crashed for an afternoon", it's potentially a good chunk of your life savings.

I'll take my chances with the banks and Nigerian Princes.

> I don't want to "write more docs" or "be visible on slack" or "join some engineer guilds" or "give demos" or "mentor juniors" just for a promotion.

That hit close to home. Such a depressing reality.
I wonder to what extent it's not the remote work, but rather the accumulation of stress and burnout.

Anecdotally, a good portion of my team is teetering on the edge of burnout. We're not less productive because of remoteness, we're less productive because we're all getting less sleep and fewer productive hours. And it's well known that stress reduces creativity.
Most business owners probably don't want experienced staff to have opportunities to work remotely for another organisation.
I do! I'm sponsoring this effort to catch linux trackpad software up to mac standards. Not affiliated with them in any other way, was simply blown away by a friends magic pad, right about the same time this project started.

Note that this "study" only went till June of 2020.

So all these workers went to remote work in a company without a remote work culture, then were measured for a short period of time before a remote work culture and the policies and tools to support it could be ironed out.

Also, how are they measuring "innovation"?
Jonathan Haidt: Monomania Is Illiberal and Stupefying
Shorting 120% of float does not imply naked shorting. It means some shares were re-loaned. You are only looking at the debtor side of the ledger and ignoring the creditor side.

If I lend $1 to friend A, and friend A lends that same $1 to friend B, then the total debt obligation is $2 (A & B both owe $1 to someone else) i.e. 200% of the original dollar. In the case of person A, that both owes $1 and is owed $1, which effectively cancels out, no new dollar was created and they become a middleman in the chain of debt obligations.

The primary implication of shorting >100% of float is the settlement time and capital required to close out that chain of loans and return the share to the original lender.
Not a bad thing, really. It'll be what's needed to win over skeptics.

I mean, they'll more likely just move the goalposts than be won over, but at least they're running out of things to complain about. Between this and the Coinbase card, Coinbase has already tackled the two biggest (valid) critiques of crypto that I hear.
Assuming the phone is not remotely exploited.
That describes how a lot of research gets done. Its not just fb, oil companies are notorious for that sort of thing as well.
> we're less productive because we're all getting less sleep and fewer productive hours.

Maybe all that is caused by remoteness?
If it actually was beneficial for productivity and innovation if everyone worked from home, why would they want to cripple themselves? Especially considering they could get rid of the office cost. At least tobacco companies had a clear incentive to lie.
Curious what the total dollar amount involved was.

Household of three, my electric bill is $50-75mo. So… that seems like a huge jump as percentage.

Plus I don’t HAVE to be a hypocrite. If I say I care about climate, pollution, energy, I can chose to run a more efficient processor like a Ryzen or an M1.
Right. If you want good security, just remove the users.
Anecdotally, engineers that I have interviewed that had a litany of certifications were very weak candidates.

As were bootcampers, which is similar I guess.
