> So the ROC and PRC are de jure countries

Actually, looking back, that was probably not something I should have said.

ROC and the PRC are each (in their own legal systems) the de jure government of the same (widely formally recognized, usually with the PRC formally recognized as the government) country, “China”.

“Taiwan” and “mainland China” are de facto countries, governed in fact by the ROC and PRC, and are often treated as such by countries that formally recognize one China with the PRC as its government.

> why use the qualifier for Taiwan?

Because in most legal systems that aren’t that of the ROC itself, the PRC is the recognized government of the single de jure country of “China” that subsumes both the de facto countries of mainland China and of Taiwan. ROC is, in those systems, only and exclusively the de facto government of the de facto country of Taiwan, and not the de jure government of anything, and Taiwan is de jure a province of China.
There's also the fact that this is optimizing for power usage in the air, when really what we'll want to optimize for most likely is power usage while doing some specific task in the air, and that task may necessitate specifics of what altitudes it can function at.

You are posting verbatim far-right anti-vaccine FUD. I highly doubt you are 'not hesitant' and vaccinated. You are absolutely calling for the death of millions of people because you are too selfish to get a vaccine.
Now do a white guy. Because I'm wondering if companies use a stock photo because it's easier than taking photos of their unphotogenic staff, or if it is because they wish to appear diverse but come photo time they look around the office and..."oh, shit, we really need to quit hiring based on 'cultural fit'".

> the teen is held accountable for our systemic failures

That is the crux of the matter.

Anecdotally, I know a lot of former victims of the juvenile Justice system. On the one hand they’ve all demonstrated serious antisocial behaviors. On the other hand they’ve all been severely neglected (or worse) by all the people responsible for their wellbeing: parents, teachers, relatives, siblings, peers, social workers, religious leaders, etc. how can hold a Child accountable for their actions if we are unable ( read: unwilling) to hold the adults who’ve hurt them accountable for their failures?

The children are not mere Guinea pigs, they’re scapegoats for their caregivers failures.

I think there is a general trend of "front line" folks being stuck with the burden of other people's decisions.

Maybe it's always been true to some extent, but "standardized processes" have made it much worse because nobody in an org can even think for themselves anymore, they just have to take crap for some committee decision.

One of the best examples is Uber (the most consumer and employee hostile company outside of Canadian telcos) where, regardless of the problem, your only recourse is to give th driver (or restaurant) a bad rating, or withhold tip, when almost all problems actually originate with corporate uber.

It's the same thing here - you can't blame the teachers, but its certainly not fair that there is no other recourse for stupid policies (for the individual's definition or stupid)

I get a lot of what you say but this one drives me bonkers:

> able to tap people on the shoulder for quick questions rather than having to ping them over chat

My work requires so much focus, having people randomly tap me on the shoulder to ask a question they could just drop in chat is debilitating.

I'm curious you phrase "having to ping them over chat" negatively? I would say the same sentence almost totally in reverse:

"Now I no longer have to interrupt people to ask them a question, I can just ping them over chat for a reply when they are ready"

Most of the larger lodges (Loyal Order of Moose, Modern Woodmen of America, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks) were explicitly sexist (male only) and racist (white only). Although some operated female-open auxiliary organizations.

Freemasonry is interesting, in that it actually had a schism in part over exclusionary membership clauses around 1877 (Regular vs Continental). Although apparently, masonry itself forbids discussion of religion or politics during its meetings.

But much of the early lodge structure and exclusion has since been rewritten and broadened, as the majority of them were founded in the 1870s - 1910s, when prevailing social attitudes were themselves much more sexist and racist.

(Interesting, a majority were operated for the purpose of effectively providing their membership a social safety net and insurance, both of which were lacking in government terms at the time!)
I'm really torn on this sort of thing.

I live in a city, and accept that dealing with noise is a part of life. And I expect these dance-exercise meetings are actually great for the people who participate; certainly here in the US I know that the elderly often feel alone and have trouble maintaining social relationships the older they get. Not to mention getting outside and exercising is great for physical health.

But if you wake me up early in the morning with loud music I will end you.
Not constantly but often.
Meanwhile Belgium had around 20% excess deaths and much much stricter lockdowns. Most of Sweden’s excess deaths occurred in nursing homes, which weren’t protected enough; it had nothing to do with regular people eating at restaurants and everything to do with the protocol at those specific places. It’s quite obvious that lockdowns have dubious effects(if any) while the harms and detriment to society never seem to be measured or are dismissed flippantly as people just wanting to eat out.
As someone with functional autism, I like working remotely. In my case, working in an office is indeed a broken way to work. For me, the benefits of remote work are:

1. A greater ability to focus and be as productive as possible.

2. Greater control over my schedule.

3. A much better work/life balance. I love being around my wife and kids and don't want or need social interactions with people from work outside of work hours. It is very rare (three times in my 30+ year career) that my work friendships cross over into my personal life.

4. By working remotely, I have been able to recover two hours of my life per day by not commuting.

5. I was able to get rid of one of my cars, since I don't need it for commuting to work. This saves me a ton of money in insurance, repairs, gas, maintenance, etc. It's also my small contribution to the environment.

Having been forced to work in an office for most of my career, I can empathize with people who need the type of interpersonal relationships an office provides in order to function their best. I'm sure those people are struggling with remote work the same way I struggled with being in an office.

We're all different and have different needs. I doubt a one-size-fits-all approach will ever appeal to everyone, regardless of what it is.

> Would you be ok with a commercial passenger flight operating with 1 of the 2 engines completely disabled?

Yes. They are designed for that, and have procedures in place for when it happens, just as they do for a GPS failure.

(Specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS)

I would not be OK with a pilot who didn’t plan for the possibility of engine failure.

If you run out of fuel because your GPS is jammed, there’s a good chance you’d have run out of fuel if it failed in another more normal fashion.
> To the point that I don't understand why it was left out of JSON

Because JSON has generic numbers that just happen to be able to represent every numeric IEEE floating point double value. In theory you could have an implementation that uses a BigDecimal class or something similar to represent numeric values. Which is of course completely incompatible with every other JSON implementation and just asks for badly tested edge cases to rear their ugly head.
Very badly. It is now extremely common for criminals to force people to log into the bank app and transfer out all liquid assets, no doubt to bank accounts created with stolen identities. What happens after? I'm not sure. I assume the victim has to prove that a crime occurred in order to reverse the transactions.
The cost situation varies a lot. For some who already have an office in a house some commute from a company office, WFH financially saves a lot of commute costs which can be substantial. For someone who lives in a city, want to live there, and no longer have the option to work in a company office (which is admittedly mostly not a common situation if they haven't changed jobs), their costs have probably just risen substantially.
Half-joking that Uber and [Tech Major]s' Map products are among the greatest government subsidy stories of all time. Those satellites are expensive!
Yeah, the original 747s flat out had a sextant port in the roof. Could navigate by the stars the old fashioned way. Given how crazy precise (and expensive) inertial guidance systems were developed for ICBMs in the Cold War I have to imagine though they have one on Air Force One, along with an automated celestial guidance system for recalibration. The AIRS (advanced inertial reference system) used in the LGM-118A Peacekeeper missiles have to be some of the most mindblowingly precisely made machines in human history. Drift of something like 1.5/10000° per hour! .003° per week (not that they'd ever run that long obviously, ICBM and all). At any rate, highly precise IGS is doable for enough money, even with older tech though these days I'd assume they're using fiber optic gyros or something like that. It's a neat area.
I think everyone agrees that being in the office, all things being equal, is better for collaborative work. It's just all the not-equal externalities (especially commuting and high real estate prices near good jobs) that make it suck.
Every problem is a solution in the waiting. Imagine a "every project management problem ever" as a service for enterprise customers of AWS. Every year there could be an almanac of recently discovered screwups. Amazon Studios would have a long run reality TV series.
It is great that they can make this thing work.

It is, at the same time, a serious indictment of modern industrial society that they want to. Industrial manufacturing economics ought to be supplying tractors cheaply enough that there is no temptation to this.

> what to do with old fuel rods

...same as above. The quantity here is far far smaller than most people imagine and it's a very manageable amount - even if scaled 100x. We're talking about 1 barrel per reactor per year.

> there's long-term maintenance of a plant

Modern Gen III plants are build such that any failure in the control systems, causes the reactor to turn off via a, usually, gravity system - so no power needed to turn off the reaction. They are essentially constantly being told to stay on.

Accidents as we've seen in the past are not possible with Gen III reactors. ...the failure modes are just much, much worse for nuclear

More relevant though is that the success condition for LNG/Coal/Oil/etc plants is Global Climate Change. THAT is the critical issue.

Also, the notion that nuclear storage facilities are somehow massive liabilities when the nations of the world currently already have literally tens of thousands of nuclear bombs/missiles, seems odd. There is a far far greater likelihood of Climate Change triggered nuclear war than nuclear waste misuse.

The real problem with nuclear is public ignorance. What I find a remarkable contradiction is how anti-nuclear advocates claim we need to convince the public that Climate Change is real, but then throw up their hands as hopeless when there's a suggestion that nuclear misinformation should be combated.
Funny that I am a strong pro-office, but I think that maybe you miss people per se, and not particular coworkers. Also lack of environment variety, combined with inability to travel.
Isn't it known already that a lot of tech journalists on YouTube don't do much besides read a spec sheet while standing in front of a nice background, playing with cool camera gear?

Even mainstream channels that I consider decent like LinusTechTips very often stretch something that could be said in 2:30 minutes into a 10+ minute long video, making me feel like I'm wasting my time when I could read a few different articles in that same timespan and be better informed.

Not to mention the typical bullshit overselling of the capabilities of a VPN, while realistically for the average user the most useful thing about a VPN is being able to watch region locked content and torrent movies without getting a letter from their ISP. For any serious need for privacy using something like the Tor network is the best choice.
Great, so not only does work provide you with money and healthcare, it also has to provide a social circle? Pretty soon will we look toward companies to provide us with a suitable life partner too? And housing?

The point of remote work is to make your work hours very efficient so you have more time away from work to live your actual life.

To be fair, I think that a large part of trying to control automated access to Discord is genuinely in the user’s interests: a common reason to use the API under the radar would be to mitigate privacy protections, anti-SPAM, bot oversight, etc.

On the other hand, Discord has drawn some ire for their behavior. Third party clients are obviously not malicious or abusive, they are simply unauthorized. Tools that allow bulk deletion of messages are also very much not really abusive, though they may consume a lot of server resources if the architecture is poorly optimized for this use case. Yet these are probably the main legitimate use cases for so-called self-botting, and while many users have not been banned for it, many report having been banned for it. I have used both without issue, as well as done some manual self-botting, so I can only guess it is not really intentional to kick off legitimate users.

There is a long and well-written discussion from the former developer of discord-py regarding their feelings: https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/4a2f62751b9600a31a0d3c7810028...

Personally, I did not mean to convey any particular feelings to the legitimacy or morality of Discord’s stance, just to provide what I knew in a relatively neutral fashion. That having been said, while I find Discord to be relatively inoffensive, I am getting a bit bothered by the recent rebrands and crackdowns, and I sincerely long for a federated open-standard IM that works like email. But, I know lacking a good product, with good UX and some decent mechanism to handle abuse, it is a pretty asymmetric battle against IM clients with huge network effect advantages. And with email, you can see some cracks in its openness, as a direct result of trying to deal with abuse…
Doubt it. I see the same "white" guy in two of google's products. I'm guessing they chose this guy because he's a handsome and prolific model. I don't think trying to slip race into this will make it a better discussion.

I'm not sure what you can learn from looking at charter schools, as long as they remain exceptional and outside the main system. There is a charter school in our district that effectively is a gifted school - it is explicitly a college prep school.
Latency is criminally neglected in nearly every piece of tech that I get to use.

Over the years, the number of transistors on the chip has grown - as has the lag.

Everything is laggy. Touchscreens are laggy (especially in embedded devices, like coffee machines). Webpages are laggy. USB keyboards are laggy, way more laggy than ones on Apple II [1].

And of course, wireless audio is obnoxiously laggy.

So much for removing the headphones jack.

it's easy to blame the mode of working to be an obstacle to employees' growth, including juniors, but it's also very likely that managers and the person themselves have not learnt or guided to optimize for this new way of work.

Collectively we should work on this first before jumping the conclusion "all juniors lose out on remote" or smt. Remote gives you a lot more freedom and telling juniors that it isnt for them is kind of gatekeeping.

While getting vaccinated is a massively good idea both for the individual and society it does appear to be the case that people who are vaccinated or were diseased and recovered and have antibodies that way that are exposed to delta virus can nonetheless develop high viral loads, high enough to be contagious to people who are not immune. It does appear that in vaccinated or otherwise immune people the viral load drops very quickly.

So it's not quite as simple as people with an axe to grind will claim it is, but it is possible for a vaccinated person to briefly have the same viral load as an unvaccinated person. The duration of that dangerous period is much shorter when vaccinated, and of course the risk to the vaccinated person is much, much lower.
The FAA is actually pretty good at regulating "known" things within its remit. It is however, exceptionally bad at regulating unknown things, so it has a defined process to make things known.

One of the most dangerous conditions at the FAA is when an unknown thing evades the FAA's process by which to make it known and understood to the FAA. It takes the agency a long time to grasp and assess. See 737 MAX, UAS...
I was going to recommend that as well. Am in the process of reading it, after a previous recommendation on HN. Or as the previous commenter quipped to a similar question 'Yes, Robert Putnam identified all these trends by the 80s and 90s, but nobody liked how gloomy he was about it.'

Yeah, the headline is technically true, but maybe doesn't tell the whole story.

It'd be like if an employee saved some kittens but then slapped someone's butt, and the headline is "$company fired employee who saved kittens". Not that I'm comparing kitten-saving or butt-slapping with whatever those employees did.

But to speculate and judge (hey this is the Internet after all), if they wanted to attend some meeting my guess is they thought themselves to be warriors trying to confront the evil transphobic (in their mind) corporation...
Funny, I left Amazon two weeks ago because WFH burned me out. I'm currently taking a sabbatical.

* Zoom fatigue is real.

* I find it much harder to collaborate with peers.

* I feel like less of a part of the company. Not being in the office, so I'm no longer seeing that busy bee activity on the floors, not able to mingle with other people from other teams, not seeing new faces, no team activities, and no desk with my name on it. It's a very isolated feeling.

* I find it even more Groundhog Day. To wake up from bed, walk a few steps to my desk, and start plugging away. Yeah, commuting can suck, but at least there's more stimulation and "life" to it.

* Deadlines, at least from my perspective, got even more ridiculous since WFH started.

It doesn’t need to be. If his grandfathers computer is connecting to a “hub” server and is always connected, it will work.

Alternatively, if @codetrotter need to do the connecting, you can also setup wire guard to use a dns name, which could be dynamic.

On the VPN side, it would be a static IP though…
Sounds like the problem is that our social involvement outside of work is totally broken and we make our lives revolve around our work, and think that's entirely normal.
