You should not make any assumptions about work in the US. There's many American software companies that are able to fulfill your requirements.

In many tech companies, you have "unlimited" vacation. You can probably take more vacation that you already get in Europe. This is true of my company, mParticle.

I can work 9-to-5 as an employee. That is the culture of the company that I work for.

People can choose to work remotely or in an office.
> We all take it for granted that the NSA could pinpoint our locations pretty easily, right?

In the same way we take it for granted that a SWAT team could kill any of us pretty easily. They have (and probably should have) the ability, but the authority to use it should be very limited and subject to stringent oversight.
I believe the difference is that institutions are using scholarship students to warm call alumni for donations vs. online program managers using large, paid call centers. I think it's just a different magnitude of marketing.

Non-profits in general are using more and more professional calling services. Maybe they keep the easy (warm) calls in-house and then outsource all the more difficult calls to an outside service.

How many died because of lockdowns?
I think you may be slightly misunderstanding his take. I don't think he would argue this bubble is going to pop. Maybe increased volatility with a couple "events" but not a nominal pop. The bubble will pop through sustained inflation. The S&p will be up 100% while the dollar will have lost 60% of it's value over 5 years. From a metrics perspective the bubble is gone at that point.

So yeah, after 10 years of thinking bubbles were about to pop I'm finally on the "this is the exception" this market is never coming down team. It really is politically infeasible for it to move in any other direction while it's totally politically feasible to print money and maintain high nominal values.

Right, and we should definitely not assume long-COVID exists without compelling, reproducible evidence. Much policy around COVID is now based on the assumption that long-COVID is a significant public health threat and justifies extremely heavy handed and disruptive interventions and policies, respectively.

This is despite no large randomized controlled studies proving that it is exists as a widespread phenemenon, and nothing in the pathophysiology of COVID to suggest it would create the kind of pervasiveness of long-term complications that many media stories have sounded the alarm about.
My team of three looks after hundreds of bits of diverse kit in dozens of locations across the world.

I can’t remember the last time I took a call outside of office hours, and even in hours it’s very rare. There’s enough resilience built in that any issues can wait until morning

The last major outage was in 2017, before we had a third member of the team. I was on the other side of the world installing a new system, the other was on leave. We had a network issue, OSPF melted and knocked out some services, we were down for about half an hour as I rebooted the core switch pair remotely.

(We’ve since redesigned so that doesn’t happen)

We get paid nowhere near six figures either.

Sure you can be ridiculous, I remember one team I worked on that employed a full time unix contractor (on 3 times the staff wage) to look after 6 servers and deploy a tar ball every few months. I replaced him with a small shell script. Another was a DBA looking after a small oracle database (oracle - which of course is that generations “just use amazon”)
Thank you Grimm for beating me to the punch. Being working with a company dealing with sensitive data. who are concerned about the security of the npm package system, especially with the recent rc/roc exploits. Have any company actually moved from node to deno successfully in production? Would really appreciate some links and references to stories like that as we are also considering moving node -->>> deno.
Or any other tech company that you can pass the interview bar for. I know plenty of people working at FAANG with a liberal arts degree or no degree at all.
> Apparently it is "blue collar" work to do actual programming?

Let’s not build up cultural myths from a passing conversation. Of course there are PhDs in Europe who code and code very well. There are also ones who don’t. Was the PhD even in a Computer Science related field?

And not to offend you, but many people have better things to do than talk about programing languages. Maybe the visiting PhD had more interesting topics on their mind?

And I compared the lab and lecture time... and they are very similar (essentially equal)...

I didn't choose to respond to your overall ideas about a chemistry degree because that would require convincing you that there is quite a bit of fundamental information needed to make those labs useful (and efficient) and there was already a great misunderstanding regarding the amount of time chemistry students spend in the lab.

A "perfectly shaped avatar" could be used by a young woman, or by an old man. So, in a way it's leveling. But that's also what makes it worse for people who are physically attractive.

And what's more, having a "perfectly shaped avatar" means that the avatar designer made a beautiful design. But what many people want is to feel beautiful.

Personally, I'm a rather fashion conscious male, and I have no interest in buying virtual clothes because I like to wear nice clothes, not just be seen in them.

It's the difference between experiencing something and having a reputation for it.
It comes from the black community in the 70s, who in turn may have gotten the concept from Gurdjieff, who famously said "man is asleep" and therefore unaware of "the terror of the situation". "Stay woke" in the 70s meant "be aware of the actual social situation around you; Whitey is still not your friend".

Anyone who uses "woke" as a pejorative is promoting sleep -- personal and social unawareness. And thus the terror continues...

I don't think I really see evidence of this. I mean, the IRS wants to catch people who cheat on their taxes. That's something they've been empowered to do for a long time. And when they catch people for that, they audit them, perhaps take them to court, and fine them. Which seems reasonable.

If the IRS is going to start telling people they aren't allowed to ride trains or get on airplanes because they applied a deduction to their taxes in a way that's not allowed, then we should worry; that sounds like the China-style social credit system people talk about. But I don't see that as being realistic; the IRS doesn't have that kind of power.
Got it. Not my intent to hijack this. I'll delete.

I'm trying to share that much of what is described in the post and discussion is currently being formalized - and there are different interpretations and technical solutions that various teams including what gallery is proposing.
> For these reasons, it’s generally recommended not to let ZFS go past 80% disk utilization.

There's another reason why you don't want to go beyond 80% utilization, and that's because the block allocator will switch behavior to a more involved search, which can take a lot more time.

Thus allocating new blocks can get really slow once you get past 80%.
> In our virtual reality metaverse people will be able to attend concerts with one another and save the tickets as NFTs!

I completely agree that this sort of marketing of metaverse entirely misses the reality of tech we have and expectations. I think its also a great analogy, and i had a similar experience when i myself did Odyssey of the mind :)

Based on the article, however, it seems clear that we could be around the corner from real use-cases for this tech that are actually an improved experience. I think VR tech could def improve "mise en place" tech use, where a user is focused on accomplishing one goal at a set time and place using tech. This could even be as vague as "do my remote job".
> and it seems like testing and certifying doctors and lawyers is important enough to society

Lawyers spend most of their (billable) time researching. And the great majority of lawyers never see a court room. No quick reaction time needed.

Doctors... The average doctor follows a script to triage the easy 80% of problems. And the average doctor stops at that.

All of the discussion around the internet as if it's something we should take seriously has me baffled. It's an ill defined concept and the effort is being led by a government department that hardly anyone trusts or even likes.

As far as I can tell it's the telephone but on a screen with a typewriter. Or in other words it's the telephone but with extra steps in the way of obtaining the information or completing the transaction, not to mention the increased hardware costs (screens are expensive) and wiring costs associated with this superfluous fluff.

I just don't understand how they aren't being laughed out of the room. This is fantasy level stuff and it's going to be an absolutely massive failure.

Is this actually true, or is it the case that you can't get financial related jobs because your credit score has been lowered by your past cases of poor handling of money?

NFT are used for money laundering. It makes money laundering very easy. Anyone who seriously subscribed to NFT for jpegs are kidding themselves.
It's not nonsensical at all.

Both are platforms capable of storing data and running software using this data.

AWS, Azure as well as Postgres offer auth, queues, triggers, functions, document and table storage, and so on.

Yes, you can run Postgres on Azure; and you can run Azure on Azure, or Azure on your own bare metal, or Azure on VMs. I'm pretty sure it'd be possible to get Azure running on Postgres.
That's bad, but is not what we're talking about here. Not to mention it was a big scandal and that practice (which was not supported by any law or legal policy) has stopped. The China-style social credit system people worry about is something done on purpose, as designed, out in the open.

Can we stop taking isolated incidents and framing them as official policy?
It started with disposable razor blades, right around the turn of the century iirc
I'm curious why you and OP are equating "not monogamy" with "single-parent?" What about polygamy? Or even non-married but still-committed group partnerships?

I'm certainly not suggesting to eradicate monogamy and replace it with these, and it wouldn't make sense to say any one of these is holistically better than the others, but if we're focusing on just the "what's best for kids" angle... wouldn't it be better if kids had _more_ parents/very close adult relatives? More people in their life they can rely on for attention, advice, care, etc.?
Facebook, TikTok, Google aren't open standards, and they "took off". They use https just like the metaverse will.
My anecdotal data is that I went really far in the process with a FAANG, got a verbal offer, and it was rescinded (never got the official offer). I always suspected it was due to lack of a degree.

And no one explicitly ever asked, but they did ask for a rather detailed work/education history, and I never claimed to have one.

I really suspect that they SAY they don't care if you have a degree or not, but at the end of the day I think they do.
Yes, and also wage garnishment is another thing that is definitely a common thing.
We can't rely on SCOTUS to make this ruling for another 50+ years, so our best hope is to start with state legislators. The majority of law enforcement happens at a state level, and most state legislators aren't as hamstrung as the federal one is, so this is the easiest way to achieve the most impactful results.

Also, POTUS is in charge of most federal law enforcement agencies. So it might be possible to handle this at a federal level through an executive order. Obviously, this doesn't have the staying power of a proper law, but it's something.
Hey thingification, Geoff here from Gitpod. I build Gitpod with Gitpod in Gitpod from an iPad. For taking notes I use the iPadOS15 notes feature by swiping from the bottom right hand hot corner.

At this point why not privatize the government? It will save the US billions of dollars in deals.
The motivations behind people’s votes rather obviously do matter if your are attempting to use these votes as evidence of a particular attitude towards the apartheid system.

The best that can be said is that once the imminent collapse of apartheid became obvious to almost everyone, a clear (but not overwhelming) majority of white people voted to get rid of it.

To me these facts are obviously inconsistent with the narrative that apartheid was an unpopular policy that persisted only because of gerrymandering and other electoral shenanigans. One can also look at polling and surveys to reach the same conclusion.

Conversely this is why I want to leave programming and explore something else. Though I’d add the addendum if I like to make “cool” stuff (subjective as hell, I know)
> Why is it okay to be paid $100,000 for the exact same job as your equivalent counterparts in the US make 3.5x for?

I'm not going to say it's okay, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The most obvious is that salaries are not determined so much by how productive the employee is but by the relationship between supply and demand.

But that's not the really interesting part. The interesting part is that when you factor in taxes and CoL, you might be earning less gross but walking away with more money after paying taxes and living costs.

On October 23, 2015, the Justice Department declared that no criminal charges would be filed.

3D had a major problem that it never solved. I continually stated I’d be interested in 3D displays when they developed them using glasses-less technology.

I avoid going to 3D films specifically to avoid wearing the glasses.

But they never got that far. Beyond the gimmick of the 3DS screen, I’ve never seen glasses-less 3D.

Let’s say you’re a couple and you have two pairs of glasses. What happens when you have friends over?

Furthermore - the glasses were not interchangeable between brands of television sets, meaning it’s not like you could just bring a pair and expect them to work.

A VR headset costs $300, and offers a truly unique experience that excites me as a developer and is very interesting as a user.

A 3D TV cost more than a standard HDTV - and never really offered anything that made it worthwhile. IMHO it was DOA.

The existence of VR cafes and interactive installations has already made VR a real ‘thing’. The inexpensive nature of the Oculus Quest is helping that a lot, too.
I used to struggle with this a lot. Here are a few things that have really helped me over the past decade:

1. This is incredibly common. Some of the most productive people you know probably struggle(d) with this. And this is important to keep in mind because if you think "there's something strange and unique wrong with me" your brain will dismiss standard insights and tools.

2. Dysfunctional perfectionism is a procrastination tactic. And procrastination is a standard human coping mechanism for anxiety. These are hard facts even if they don't _feel_ real. The source of anxiety for most knowledge workers with their baisc needs satisfied is often this: the grandiosity of unrealistic dreams that have calcified as expectations. This messes with your self-esteem too

3. Echoing vesuvianvenus's comment on this thread ('scale back the dream, scale up the grind'), this Tim Minchin commencement speech [0,1] has stayed with me for years.

> I never really had one of these big dreams. And so I advocate passionate dedication to the pursuit of short-term goals. Be micro-ambitious. Put your head down and work with pride on whatever is in front of you… you never know where you might end up. Just be aware that the next worthy pursuit will probably appear in your periphery.

Genuine question: why as a HN reader - so probably quite scientific - why is it "striking" to you that after learning on this very forum of referendum where you found out that 30% voted to maintain Apartheid, a mere FOUR years later a poll finds 40% holding a similar position?

a) surely you are familiar with error bars?

b) where did you think that 30% went?

I would be astonished if the poll said otherwise.
That is the narrative the CCP pushes. 'It is just like a government run checking score.' But it isn't. Crimes, including political ones, will penalize your social credit score. If your score falls too low, you and your children will become ineligible for government programs and assistance.

No doubt. But, say that the NSA were given the purvue over enforcing sanctions (because they are the national security agency). Should they be able to monitor who is visiting the country with the sanctions?

Sanctions are kind of like the tax agency situation - if you're going to wield them as a national security tool, then you want to be able to enforce them, otherwise they're relatively meaningless. And enforcing them necessarily involves watching to see if your country's citizens are evading them.
That's my point though - it's not ownership of the artwork. It has no legal power, and multiple can exist, made by anyone. Ownership of what then? Of a receipt or a signature.
