This doesn't seem to be the case in Australia. The lack of migrant workers coming into the country has made it incredibly difficult to recruit skilled employees in 'office roles' and the market is insane for pretty much every industry. This sure doesn't reflect companies having an appetite for global employees.

I've spoken to a lot of recruiters over the last year and they're primarily indicating that a hybrid 2 days in the office model is the preference.

Integrating new staff is hard at the best of times, let alone half fully-remote and half hybrid.
Some people connect better in person. I felt closer to my team, and more like friends, after having spent a few days with them in person, especially outside of a work setting. If it improves collaboration or retention in any way - maybe subconsciously I’m less pedantic in code review, friendlier in chats, more willing to do extra work to help a colleague, discussing with a team I didn’t normally talk to before, or hesitate a few weeks longer before switching companies - it’s worth it to the company.

Yeah, that pretty much confirms what I was getting at: you believe you understand the theory-scape here, and you think that unobserved matter could be a valid explanation, because you know nothing about this why it in't. You're not wrong to doubt them for yourself, or to have fun thinking about it, or whatever, but casting it as some kind of ossified 'conventional thinking' that we should all be distrusting of isn't okay, and sounds a lot like other types of weird science distrust that happen a lot these days.

Not entirely your fault, though; physics does a really bad job of, as, you say, educating people at a level more sophisticated than dumb-downed "because we said so" crap. But there know there are a lot of good youtubers and blogging filling in 'educated layperson' level of explanation.

Pretty bad. In my last company we tried to get server-side swift integrated into a backend microservice.

While there is big-company momentum behind swift on servers, it’s always a second-class citizen compared to its own native platforms (iOS & macOS).

After IBM stopped backing it, pretty much killed credibility in server-side swift.

We switched over to Rust fairly early on, and we were glad we did.

I think the realization was that client-side app engineering is just different from distributed back-end systems.

On iOS, we have a very rich set of standard toolkits we can consume. So development is fast and streamlined. Battle-hardened.

But with swift on servers, you’re reinventing the wheel for even the most basic things. So it may very well be a completely different language on the backend at that point.
Although our brains were getting bigger progressively, around 70,000 years ago they plateaued, and have been shrinking ever since. John Hawks, an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin, explains how, over the last 20,000 years alone, human brains have shrunk from 1,500 cubic centimeters (cc) to 1,350 cc, roughly the size of a tennis ball.

Except this requires extrapolating brain volume from the skull , which probably inaccurate compared to modern day MRIs. So i would take this claim that brains are shrinking with some skepticism.

Unfortunately, the memory bandwidth that matters here is not bandwidth to GPU memory, but bandwidth to main system memory (unless anyone knows how to splice a pointer to GPU memory onto a unix pipe). That's specifically why the M1 came to mind, as a powerful UMA machine that can run Linux. Perhaps a modern gaming console could hit the same performance, but I don't know if they can run Linux.
It's not like outsourcing wasn't possible before. You still have to deal with all the HR issues of hiring someone in a foreign country -- zoom does not change that. You will still need to set up at least a small office there, too.

What it might change for the outsourcing market is reducing office space if people from India can work from home, too. That would allow them to lower costs, just as US firms can lower costs for domestic workers by shedding office space. I'm not sure why those office reductions would be greater in India than in the U.S.

Beyond that, firms have been outsourcing wherever they could for the last twenty years already. Every major tech company has some offices in India already. What's left in the U.S. are those jobs that can't be transferred because productivity is more important than lowering costs. At this point, the differentiator between the 200K job and the 60K job is productivity, not geography.

This is something that is interesting to me, I have been reading about various ideas for worker owned companies. Some friends and I have been talking about how we might organize a side business built around a similar structure and where it might fail for reasons that are not just the business side of things.

This climbing equipment company's stated values are an appealing target to me right now. https://www.totemmt.com/about-us/
It depends.

The rich countries still prefer to hire in rich countries, because of:

* similar timezone/working hours

* similar work culture

* less language barriers

* rich countries still got better skilled workers

* less legislative overhead with employments, payments, firing

* if you get a really good person in third world, he will in the end cost similarly as good person in first world
Is there any company that's even close to Oculus in the VR space? I know HTC's Vive and Valve's Index could compete with the Rift, but they didn't have the Oculus app ecosystem. Samsung's standalone died, same with Google. Is there anything equivalent to the Quest 2?

Vortioxetine (Trintellix) is expensive as fuck, most insurance plans have it under multiple restrictions (step therapy (ST), prior auth (PA), others). They have a manufacturer discount card to take off $100 max but if your prescription benefits don't kick in until after you're deductible you will max out every year pretty quickly. I just paid $900 for a 3 month supply.

But... Anecdotally, it does have less sexual side effects than escitalopram (Lexapro), and helps about the same amount with anxiety as escitalopram (Lexapro), though maybe a little bit less effective at that.

> Engineers on HN seem to be incapable of considering that the social aspect of work is important to most non-introvert non-engineers in an office and that a lot of "work" is forming bonds, developing relationships, and yes, "playing politics" to some extent.

I do this all day in private Slack communications, 1-1 video conferences, and everything else.

This "watercooler effect" myth may seem important to some, but I know my team members closely because I am talking to them all day, whether we're staring at each other face to face or not. I already know their kids are in college, or the sports teams they are interested in, or the typical company rumor mill.

I'm 2+ decades in this game and I am familiar with the office. I spent 10 years driving an hour-each-way commute to spend 10+ hours in an office to help start a company with one other person. Which ended up growing to 20+ employees.

What is the purpose of "in person"? I have friends and a life outside the office. That doesn't make me an "introvert", it makes me a person who wants to spend the company's money wisely, especially against tight deadlines.

They need me writing code, or architecting a project, or leading a team.
Apple contracts TSMC for their silicon in Taiwan, not China; some of the larger older operations are in mainland China but I understand that's the extent of it and only applies to the auto industry so the trade tensions don't impact this aspect of Apple's products or TSMC or Taiwan actually. They're also working on a partnership with Sony in Japan.

> Not to mention that on the desktop, the text is literally only quarter of the screen.

A quarter of the width? Well, naturally! The optimal line length for readability is somewhere in the 50-100 character range. This is one of those things that is actually backed by empirical research (lots of research... experiments in readability are cheap and easy to conduct, and people have been doing these experiments for a long time). The width of lines of text in tweets is on the shorter end of that range.

Hacker News, for example, is an example of a site with poor readability. The text is as wide as the window. To address this deficiency, I open Hacker News in a narrower window. It's still harder to read.
Actually, many instances of undefined behavior are born out of a desire for portability. Some processors will fault on both of those and the standard wants to be inclusive of those behaviors. Compilers happen to be able to use the definition of undefined behavior to also optimize code, but the concept is born out of practicality.

However low wage employees outside of property control are also monitored and controlled more than higher wage white collar jobs. For example, look at call center employees.[0]

I think it’s a combination of class (ie white collar workers are more similar to the management and owners), and low wage workers being considered more replaceable, thus managers feel freer to engage their baser impulses. Throw in a bit personal bias and stereotypes and voilà! You have a horrible situation.

IQ is a culturally-biased measure that, on its best day, is useful for comparing different cohorts and, if it's being used for a good purpose, bridging any gaps. It only measures individual intelligence by a very narrow view of intelligence. There are plenty of high IQ dupes and highly effective people who'd flub an IQ test.
Sure, many (most?) schools went remote, but they didn't shut down, and they aren't really integrated into the "global economy."

It's certainly true that collectively, society pushed down in some places and things popped up in others, sometimes in obvious ways (going remote creates demand for laptops and cameras and office chairs) and sometimes in surprising ones (spiking rental car prices, yet internet providers were totally unfazed). I don't think "if only we hadn't been so foolish as to shutdown a large part of the global economy" is a useful or helpful way to think about these phenomena, though.
Rapid turnaround is not demonstrated. Nor is it even, in fact, planned, in any real sense. I.e., to be clear, there is no evidence that they have any idea how to achieve rapid turnaround of a Starship orbiter.

(Superheavy is a different story.)

All this turns on the design of the heat-shield tiles. Those we have seen are basically the same as on the shuttle. Each individual tile needs a great deal of personal attention before and after each use, including squirting in some goo that will boil off on the next flight. Many will need to be replaced, each flight.

So, turn-around time is weeks, minimum. More probably a month or two, or three.

It is conceivable that a future version of Starship will have a heat shield that needs less attention. Maybe a fabric shroud in place of tiles, over most of the hull, will turn out to be practical. If that happens, it might get possible to turn around a re-entered Starship faster. But that will require entirely new development not obviously begun.

I will be happy to be proved wrong.

Despite all of the above, even without quick turnaround or even re-usability, Starship is obviously overwhelmingly superior in every conceivable way to Artemis/Ares. NASA has the unenviable chore of trying to unload that turkey on some commercial contractor to get out from under the obligation to pour ever more treasure down its gaping maw, endlessly. If NASA succeeds in selling it at a penny on the dollar to Marietta, and leaving Marietta to try to find someone, anyone willing to pay for even a single hull, we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
