You seem to believe there are no political dynamics to this situation. On a small scale, sure. On a large scale I think you’ll find the political stability that executives in the US have come to rely on will quickly disappear. The 2016 elections were already a reflection of the general populace growing tired of offshoring jobs. When that hits the middle and upper middle class as well, shit will hit the fan globally.

My mom knows what Oculus is. If that doesn’t mean anything I don’t know what is.

To be fair, she probably wouldn’t care about a name change as long as they keep making her Beat Saber machine.
I started learning this week. Added a steno layer to my QMK-based keyboard, installed Plover, and off I went. I did some practice exercises, where it just shows you what keys to press to enter certain words, and tried that. I'm at about 5 words per minute. It's that hard to move my fingers to the right place and press them all down at once.

I'm going to stick with it, but I can see why people require years of training before they become court reporters or whatever.

Oh, and all these keyboards dedicated to steno that have like 12g activation force switches? I can see why they do that. I have 60g switches, and it's quite a bit of effort to press two keys with the same finger (which is often required). I might build myself a dedicated steno keyboard, and swap the sprints in the keys with something lighter.
>And keep in mind that includes investors with 1 or 2 additional properties that they rent secondary to their own home.

That directly contradicts the definition in literally the second line of your source.

>Investors — any institute or business that deals in real estate

Institute or business, which doesn't include unincorporated individuals with just a couple of extra properties they rent out.

You can tell they're not included because it says in the article that "investors" only bought "26.5% of multifamily homes" (i.e. multi-unit apartments), so unless you're suggesting that 75% of multifamily buildings aren't being bought as an investment, the numbers don't add up.

You say this with a maybe as though it isn't already a certainty.

Nothing can stop it from happening. There will always be brainpower available, willing, and capable of contributing to computer aided fantasy and isolation. Not that it has to necessarily be a bad thing, mind.

OTOH plenty of things could make it impossible to succeed with a starship.
Massive over-investment in grow facilities on the regulated side. Think dotcom on IPOs starting ~5 years ago promising massive profits and owning the market.

Government website in Ontario does free delivery. Same day in bigger areas for $8. https://ocs.ca/blogs/article/ocs-same-day-and-express-delive...

Retail shops usually charge more than government website. We're flooded with those too.

Licensed Producers are literally sitting on tons of unsold inventory that will likely never sell and never export, and now racing to the bottom on price to get some revenue.

There will be a shakeout.

Because of the above inventory problems, it's possible what you're buying from the legal market has been sitting on a shelf for a while, but under controlled atmosphere, that's not the end of the world. Some places also gamma irradiate their product, which some people have an issue with, but it does keep down microbiological risk and extend shelf life.

Each province has different pricing, so its possible some are just charging a lot more and the black market websites sell for the same price everywhere.

If they moved to that chain and contributed their hash power there, it wouldn't automatically make the chain they're working on the canonical one. A change in the the protocol would not ensure consensus between the 2 chains. And regardless of how much hash power they have they probably wouldn't be able to "mess up the one true chain".

The history of the bitcoin blockchain can't be changed unless a miner can contribute the same amount of work it took to generate the section of blockchain they'd wish to change (so from a historical start block to the latest block). Even then, the most they can do is undo payments and double spend coins. This would probably not be economically viable since Bitcoin clients would probably start to blacklist expenditures from the miners addresses if suspicions of a double spend attack arose. Because wallets and nodes can tell when there's forks, people would also pick up on double spends which would disqualify any and all money attempted for the double spend. Overall it would probably be cheaper to just spend coins fairly.

Also, as an aside, the protocol-valid bitcoin blockchain with the most work gets chosen, not the longest* blockchain
I didn't see where the VCA hospitals explained how tilting gives vertical information that is stated in the Smarter Every Day video. This was fun to see though, because watching my dog listening for movement underground (gophers, insects), and just in general, it occurred to me that a horizontal head position, only gives horizontal direction, but not whether it's above or below. Tilting solves that and 2 tilts, 90 degrees of difference, gives complete directional location. A slight rotation left or right, with one ear more forward than the other, can give range. It's amazing what a few hundred million years of evolution can come up with!
> 'which' is ensconced as standard practice in many shell scripts

Ugh. Now that the UNIX universe has collapsed unto Linux, BSD's and very, very few other *X's, it is less of an issue, but «which», due to it having never been enshrined in standards, has never been safe to use in shell scripts, and an invocation could yield a suprise for the unprepared. At least on Solaris (if I am not mistaken), the «which» output yields *two* lines, of which the first is useless (along the lines of «ohiyo, lookie at what I have found») and with the second being the actual path to the binary. So «which» has never been truly portable and safe to use.
Likely supply chain problems after the pandemic (March 2020)
This article has different conclusion that the OP's article?
I agree, it's vastly more difficult to do it over call or video due to the talking over each other. Ideally that'll never happen, but it's just natural in conversations and it really kills the flow.

However, I still think we've achieved a "good enough" state and the cons are no longer enough to stop WFH.
Preloaded from the factory maybe?
Not wrong, but I have a feeling that a protocol which changed things less would have caught on a lot faster. IPv6 changes a lot more than just expanding the address space.

32bit IPv4 gives us 4.2 billion IP addresses (although there are fewer usable addresses due to reservations etc.). If we would have just tacked on another byte we'd have 1 trillion (theoretical) IP addresses. Two extra bytes and we'd have some number I don't even know the name of (~2.7e14).

Changing from 213.113.223.023 to 142.213.113.223.023 is a lot less invasive, both for users and implementations (although increasing the address space isn't necessarily easy, it doesn't require an entire new stack).

Now, these other IPv6 changes aren't necessarily bad and also address real problems as well, but it seems IPv6 changes too much in one step for its own good. In this regard, it's not that dissimilar to Python 3 (except even worse!)

Also: one think that struck me about that list is that sites who do implement IPv6 are all Western, and that none of the Asian (mostly Chinese) sites implement IPv6. You'd expect it to be the other way round because Asian/Chinese would benefit a lot more from IPv6 since they have fewer allocated addresses, and their infrastructure also tends to be newer so legacy hardware is less of a concern. I don't know what this means or why this is the case though.
That would be very in character for the company formerly known as Facebook.
Which is why when the War on Drugs started, the Congressional Black Caucus met with Nixon to urge him to stop it.

…no, they didnt, in fact they urged him to do the opposite: to ramp it up as fast as possible, precisely to stop the damage the drugs were causing to black communities.

https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/08/16/212620886...

The linked material came out on NPR in 2013, before it was decided that the history needs to be revised. I recommend taking a look at it before it is also revised, to remove all references to what had actually happened, to how black leaders were main force behind the War on Drugs.
Interesting. I've been thinking about spending some time in Chile -- what is the English situation in Chile or Peru?
There was this comment on Reddit:

a) ML Compute doesnt (today) use the neural engine. It uses Accelerate.framework's BNNS module and Metal on GPU - meaning its CPU and GPU only.

b) The Apple Neural Engine (ANE) is a private inference accelerator which has no programmable API. Its only accessible via CoreML ML Program or ML Model format, and the CoreML runtime May, or May Not™ decide to run your model on the ANE depending on system load, other tasks, battery / power, and the phase of the moon.

There are some very cool ways of doing these tarpit. This for example: https://nullprogram.com/blog/2019/03/22/
Like others have said, this story has been repeated numerous times in some variation in the past and has never panned out.

I think the reason is that many people conflate "remote" with "asynchronous". Having a company go fully remote is one thing, having a company move to a culture of asynchronous work is something completely different.

Some tech companies will be able to do this, but the problems really arise for companies that have to keep "business hours" here in the US. Take a major chain store, a healthcare company, a <insert traditional buisness> software provider.

These businesses have to balance and on-shore workforce with an off-shore workforce. There will be people that work on the ground, and they will obviously have to be on-shore, so will upper management most likely. What about the other layers in the organization. From a high level it sounds simple but when you dive down into which teams support which teams and report to which managers and yada yada yada, where you draw the line all of a sudden becomes much harder and fuzzier.

Most companies that will do what you are talking about have already done so. The reason the water hasn't leveled off more to other parts of the world like you are saying is either due to existing business constraints or risk aversion to possible constraints an offshore team may impose.

No, but it is within context of narrative crafting practices. If it fell across all age groups, they would have said so, instead of restricting their claim to narrow group of youths. To misunderstand it is either sign of extreme naivety, or willful ignorance.
At the point where NFTs become a "many copies" model, are they NFTs anymore? It seems like "non-fungible" and "copy" are in contradiction.

More importantly, do we actually want to try and cement a system of perpetual ownership or revenue in an abundant digital world? Doesn't this go directly against our goal of encouraging creators to keep creating?

I think that one of the downside of current content models based on IP and access rights are that many companies (from Disney to Nintendo) have discovered that they can augment their revenue streams basically in perpetuity by locking down decades-old pieces of content, preventing other people from building on that content or sharing it, and then endlessly reselling and recycling it. Because they have the ability to restrict even normal people from building on their work in even non-commercial settings, they have no real competition or incentive to keep iterating on their work or to be responsible stewards of their IP. This is not the outcome that we wanted from IP law, and I feel very hesitant to try and cement it into a technology.

> from transfer of ownership

I think an important concept to get about the Internet is that content ownership isn't scarce. We have moved into a world where I can give something to you without losing it myself. There is no "transfer" of ownership at all, in the digital world there is duplication of ownership. This is a giant shift from how the real world usually works; and with our laws/businesses, we have made a deliberate choice online to ignore that paradigm shift and instead try our absolute hardest to make sure that "ownership" continues to be an exclusive right that can be transferred.

It's understandable why we've gone down this route, but it is nevertheless a complete denial of what an interconnected digital medium is and what it's capable of. I hope that as we move forward and continue to iterate on the Internet that we gradually get closer to embracing the Internet's strengths rather than hobbling them.

Ignoring all of the other criticisms of NFTs for a second, the underlying goal of NFTs as a technology is to undo the existence of digital files. It's to undo the invention of copyable data and to step backwards out of the Internet back into an older world where when you handed someone a CD you no longer had the CD. I think that even if all of the other problems with NFTs were fixed, that's still just not a goal that's worth pursuing.
It seems to me there are four types of homeless people. People traumatized by an event in their adulthod such that they can no longer function, like veterans. Another is people who had incredibly bad luck, or a bad spouse, or a health care crisis, often women. Another is people who abuse drugs, either before or after becoming homeless. It seems like we have potential solutions to solve at least the first two, meaning those two groups might respond to housing and treatment, and there are some funded institutions (veterans hospitals and charities, churches) that can assist in a variety of ways. The third category we might solve by trying different methods than just criminalizing them, treating it as a healthcare issue, there are some innovative attempts in Canada and Europe (not so much in the US, IMHO).

The fourth category seems to be people that are severely mentally ill (there is probably some cross over with the abusing of drugs, but I don't think that is a moral failing). Without things like mental hospitals, we cannot effectively care for them, their families cannot care for them, and their impact on society is immense.

I think about the book "One Flew Over a Cuckoos Nest" which documents the horrors of an asylum. I believe this was the moment in US society when we started getting rid of those types of hospitals, and people that relied on them, both families and the people suffering from the illness themselves, were dumped into society to fend for themselves.

Is this an accurate assessment? I feel like we won't be able to tackle homelessness until we address this elephant in the room, and who is going to want to care for these people. It seems like we must as a society address this, it isn't something that can be solved in a small scale.
> what makes this hard to follow?

Short of interspaced adverts or popovers, what could be done to make it worse?
OP here. I launched Thursday on PH yesterday (Thursday) and shared our metrics publicly. These include unique visitors (by the time of the day), browser, OS, and countries. I also added conversion data.

Thursday is a simple web app with no sign-up, so our conversion metrics will differ from most other products. So yes, your mileage will vary. But I believe the traffic could be a good indicator of what to expect from a PH launch. Now, that too might vary by the day of the week.

I'm getting the traffic data from Amplitude, and the conversion-related data from our database.
Hmm, I think it’s a bit like the emperor of Japan back in WW2? He wasn’t actively making the bad decisions, but he certainly supported the people making the bad decisions while having the absolute power to stop them.

In the best case he’s just ridiculously naive, in the worst case…
If I were advising you, I might note that your post is all about you.

Consider how you define yourself, and where you see your life going over the long term.

Different strengths/reservoirs of energy and motivation are needed to "make it happen" in the real world.

How can you ensure your team will be there when you need them?

The irony of writing this doesn't escape me, as I weigh the frankly-more-time-efficient-for-me working at home I have now, versus the team-efficiencies of being in the office.
Reading today's newspapers, you'd think Southern California just survived the apocalypse after the half inch of rain last weekend.
I think you're absolutely right to bring up the importance of communication, but I'm not sure it's as simple as "that will draw people back [to the office]".

I think it will just set up a different selector for who continues to get paid well. I would guess that people who can operate well in all-remote organizations will probably continue to earn high salaries. People who can't get a handle on contributing well, consistently, for an all-remote organization will struggle to take advantage of these changes.

It's one thing to start working with an in-office team, and then continue contributing reasonably well because everyone went remote during the pandemic. It's another thing to get hired for an all-remote team, get your bearings in that organization, start to contribute well, and continue to contribute well.

I think this might go for founders as well. Some people will be able to build and lead an all-remote team. Some people will need the bulk of their people to be in an office in order to build an effective team.
But for big tech companies at least I don't think money is really a significant concern. It's probably better for them to pay 10x for an engineer if that engineer has twice the chance of being a very strong performer than the one they could hire for 1x.
> This is not so different as one might believe. Those exact arguments about off-shoring and remote work already existed back then.

This is far different than then.

In 2000, remote work was almost an impossibility... between bandwidth, protocols and everything else.

These days it's as easy as enabling your built-in HD cam and mic and getting to business.
Ask HN: Is Facebook tagline repetitive?
Asking out of curiosity to see what you all think. If you go to facebook.com, you see "Facebook(big bold blue) appears with tagline -- "Connect with friends and the world around you on Facebook." in this tagline, having "on facebook" isn't recurring and utter waste of a word. I came to facebook and I know i am going to connect to my friends on facebook, where else right ?

> Now I'm wondering if that guy's raw hyper optimised x86 assembly can get transpiled to WASM

Not really. WASM is significantly simpler and more abstract than x86 assembly, and has a JIT compile step that probably wouldn't get anywhere near as optimized. You could probably hand-write a WASM version that would JIT compile to something roughly similar and still get very good performance, but it would probably be more comparable to the other compiled versions at best, rather than the x86 ASM one.
That's because you're not setting up alerts to warn you when your buffers are depleting. In a simple system like Factorio, adding a buffer to catch oversupply should never stop production more than not having a buffer at all. (A related problem in Factorio is that the available buffers tend to fill themselves based on the topology of the belt network rather than actual oversupply, and then tend to not empty into where they are needed until the logistics network is developed. In the real world there are price signals and communication between factories, so supplies are not allocated to factories on a first-come first-serve basis (inserters serving themselves).
> And if they can do their jobs remotely, why can't an equally skilled engineer in a country with a cost of living 1/10th of the "rich countries" do the same?

I'm an American expat and one of the things that I quickly discovered when I left and started traveling is that skilled engineers (and designers, etc.) in countries with significantly lower costs end up figuring out how much they're worth to employers/clients in richer countries. When they do and they have enough of a track record to prove their worth, their rates go up.

So if you think you're going to take your freelance developer in the US who charges $150/hour and replace him with an equally skilled freelance web developer in, say, Brazil for $15/hour, good luck. Any such developer in the Brazil will eventually discover that he's able to command much more. Except in a few rare instances it won't be $150/hour, but when you factor in time zones, cultural differences and language, there is far less of a difference in cost than you'd think.

Anecdotally, I have a few friends that run companies in the US that have expanded their hiring to consider remote candidates outside of the US and Canada and they still struggle to find suitable candidates even though the rates they're offering are based on qualifications, not location. In other words, they're willing to pay $100+/hour to the right people no matter where they live. Good people are in demand everywhere, and they know it.
You are underestimating the scale at which infrastructure is being built in India. The bureaucracy, at least at the higher levels is much faster. Having said that, I do not believe we will leapfrog but maintain consistent growth rate. China is almost 6x our economy. I hope we reach at least a third to half their GDP in 25 years given that our populations are quite similar.

To be fair to the article - I don't think it claims post-SSRI dysfunction happens to everyone. The sexual side effects during use are well known and do happen to the vast majority of people; I think 100% is an overestimate but 80%+ isn't. Post-discontinuation, the article argues, is more common than reported, but it's not everyone. I agree that's likely - but I still think it's a small proportion of people.
