Potentially, if they aren't performing, it's a drag. For me, not really about avoiding such people, but whoever you choose should blow your mind and you should have utmost respect for.
It is a weird thing done in some futurist communities to call attention to the long amount of future ahead of us. It doesn't surprise me that there is overlap between these groups and bitcoin maximalists.
In my experience, aim to hire someone who is really passionate about the role and loves to enable executives. You want someone you can 100% trust, and who really truly cares about you and your wellbeing.

I have interviewed many EAs to assist me, and one obviously had those traits. She was a fantastic hire, specifically because of those traits. Other people we hired at our company for other executives didn't have that passion and were significantly weaker.

I know it sounds fluffy, but if you can find someone like that, you're already halfway there. Look for EAs who participate in EA-related stuff (groups, conferences, etc). These are the folks who are really passionate about the field. I've also never been able to get the same experience/output from a virtual/remote EA.
I'm a former homemaker and I've studied women's history to try to figure out how to make my life work.

I think we need to rethink how we configure work. Serious jobs almost always implicitly assume it is designed for a male breadwinner with a full-time homemaker wife.

I think it's refreshing to see some of the comments here acknowledge that.
There’s plenty of precedent for corruption with respect to tax incentives, see, e.g., what Foxconn did in Wisconsin:

I'd suggest to get a job in a field you most passionate about. The role doesn't matter. Work there for 3-6 month to identify the problem that industry has. Then leave and build a company that solves it.

Even your expanded comment doesn't make your point. It never explains why you see a "whole food plant based diet" as a non starter. Without knowing the basis for your objection, it is hard to start a discussion and your comment ends up with little power to sway people's opinions. (Just repeatedly saying "no" is an especially ineffective argument.)

Personally, I enjoy cheese and meat far too much to adopt such a diet on a strict basis.

However, we can gain many of the ecological benefits of such a diet by simply increasing the precentage of our caloric intake that comes from such sources.
> why wouldn’t the company insist that you move closer to work to minimize the commuting payment

The closest homes to work are $1.15MM and $1.5MM. I’m not sure if the CEO is paid enough in cash to qualify for one of these homes on salary alone.

Inflation makes debt less valuable, too.

So if your wages or other assets track or exceed inflation, then that debt should be paid off more easily
You should not reach to defend these guys. I worked there as a contractor and witnessed rampant H1-B exploitation and dozens of other things that mortified me. After 6 months I took another job offer with 50% pay-cut and left with no regrets.
>should be done every time you create a new backup set

That could be prohibitively expensive. For personal use, each time I buy a new computer (desktop / notebook alternating) I use it as an opportunity to test my restore procedures. I restore my most recent backup to the new computer, then verify that it operates the same, and has all the same data stores, as my next newest computer (the one whose backup I restored).

Fellow CEO here. I've tried a few things over the years and have now had an EA for at least 5 years so I think I've got a good grasp on what works and what doesn't.

Many years ago, I tried a remote VA. I'm on my second in-person EA. I've tried delegating a lot of different stuff - some works, some doesn't.

In no particular order:

* Remote VA. Don't even bother. They're of limited usefulness and it will come down to more work in communication for you in the end. They don't know your local environment, city, employees, customers.

* Personality. You want someone that's competent, smart and capable, but also humble. Would you be proud to have them talk to your best client to reschedule a meeting - would it be a great customer service experience? Do they make people feel welcome and offer them coffee? Is nothing beneath them - they're just as willing to put coffee cups in the dishwasher as well as update a spreadsheet? You want a great, friendly attitude and competence.

* Trust. You have to trust them. This depends on them as well as you: will they do the right thing? They will require time to figure out what your preferences are. It's unfair to expect them to read your mind. You need to coach them on that. But they also need to have an innate sense of what good looks like.

* Some things delegate well and some don't. Especially some personal items. An EA is ace at scheduling a 12 person meeting, venue, lunch, catering, and making sure it suits you. But it's a pain in the ass to get them to update your auto insurance, because they won't have authority on your account and it's such a pain to get it.

* Letting go of the small stuff. Do you care about exactly what kind of wine a client gets as a gift? That's hard to delegate time effectively. Or is it a price range and the EA's choice? Much easier. Similarly with scheduling meetings. You need to give your EA carte blanche on your calendar - within the expectations you agree. I don't do meetings before 9am or after 4pm. But within that, she is fine to schedule what is needed.

* Training yourself. You need to learn to use an EA if you haven't had one before. Surprisingly, this takes a while. It's much harder to delegate control your personal items - including your calendar - than delegating other items. You might think that because you have staff you're already ace at delegation, but this is different. You're actually giving up some personal choices in order to get more time. It was also much harder for me to ask someone to go out and buy X gift for my wife urgently than to delegate other functions. But you get used to it.

Hope that helps. Overall EA's are a massive time saver and make some administrative tasks just disappear. Really valuable for me.

The problem is there are likely very competent engineers living in low cost of living areas who would gladly bid lower than your high "city salary" to maintain their preferred way of life.

Given two comparable candidates, the company will go with the one with the lower salary demands.

This sounds like British propaganda to me. When you have multiple engine choices for an aircraft from multiple manufacturers they all build the engines to the same specification so the power levels are identical. The UK engines are no more powerful than the US engines in the same vehicles.

My angry father retired from local 6 in San Francisco. He basically was to toxic to be around, and needed a hobby. I was glad he had a hobby besides drinking.

He told me he was going down to Market Street with his camera to take pictures of the "Bums". (his vernacular)

I really didn't like the guy on any level, but told him to be careful. I loved him, but there was 0 respect.

On his last visit, he decided to be less conspicuous with his picture taking. He already told me he had "The druggies" running from him when they were being photographed by him.

I warned him again. I told him they are down on their luck, and don't follow your Baby Boomer law abiding code.

After a few drinks he heads down there again at sunset.

He started clicking away.

This Samoan grabbed him by the back of his dress shirt, and dragged him into an ally.

The big guy said, "If I see you down her again, I will throw you into a van, and you will be gone. He took my fathers camera, and took his picture. He gave my father the SD card.

My father learned his lesson.

My father had a friend on SFPD, but was smart enough not to make a big deal out of it. The Samoan had his wallet.

I was glad my father learned a lesson in street justice, and Street Photography.
Well, sure, compared to Python, I guess TypeScript's type system is pretty great...

Its type system is quite broken and I'm not going to walk back on using that term. Sometimes the TypeScript designers/devs will explain that the brokenness is intentional. But some of the issues have nothing to do with JavaScript compatibility. For example, we all know about the conundrum of `type` vs `interface`, but did you know that an object-shaped `type` will automatically conform to a mapped type, but an `interface` wont?

This is honestly not the conversation I was inviting and am not interested in having for what is probably the thousandth in my life. The bottom line is that libertarian socialism is absolutely paradoxical, socialism is necessarily authoritarian. That doesn't mean evil, mind you, it just means that your personal liberties are overridden in service of some mandated objective.

Again, I'm not interested in having this conversation, so I won't be responding again.

I think the tone of the comment is okay, but comment itself is lacking actual substance. The original comment didn't even state what exactly was being objected to, let alone make an argument or attempt to start a discussion.

I would say that commenting "I think this is against the rules" is also a very low value comment that doesn't link to the guidelines, explain which one was violated, or offer any suggestions for improvement.

None of which I'm aware.

> If compiling is done on a secondary thread, aren't you then reaping all the benefits of JIT optimization while still not paying the penalty on the actual JS execution thread?

Compilation can be done off-thread, but to decide what to compile you have to do some on-thread data collection, and until you're done compiling you have to run in a lower tier. Also, you usually have to do some work to make sure that your speculative optimizations are correct: for example, an inline cache needs to verify that you've got a cache hit.

> Why throw away optimized code? Why not add a type check on the parameters and then dispatch to the highly-optimized code version based on the parameter count and types?

Optimized code is optimized under a certain set of assumptions, which can be propagated through a function. For example, if the value that we read from an object's property is always an int, then we can do integer arithmetic with it afterwards. If we suddenly load a string or a double, then a bunch of downstream code will also be invalid. It's cheaper and less error prone to start over, rather than trying to track all the places that depend on a particular piece of information.

If you only specialize individual operations based on the type input, and don't propagate type information between operations, they you've basically got polymorphic inline caches. That's what we use in our baseline compiler.
The calendar flips don't scale as well as the EA does.

lol, im a bit similar. I can code pretty well, but i like being able to jump around and do different things, talk to stake holders etc.

I think you might be able to easily get a job at an early stage startup, and have a pretty deep impact with how things are done.

Happy to help
Company #2: Brought on two business partners after being in business for three years solo. Sold them my interest. Returned a couple of years later as their VP Eng. but the spark had gone and they had become, in my mind, risk averse.

Company #3: Did okay, sold it off as I knew it wouldn't grow.

Company #4: Co-founder. Did pretty well. Sold my interest to my two partners.

Company #6: Engineer #2 - cheated out of $2M in shares when the company was acquired.

Company #7: Co-founder/Engineer #1 - cheated out of it when it took off like a rocket after eight months and they decided they didn't need any more US engineering and could outsource software development for $8/hr on that newfangled Craigslist. Acquired a year later by BigCorp.

Company #11: Solo founder - could never get the two people I had as early employees that I was grooming for becoming partners to stop fighting each other or me. Company lasted 7 years. Didn't survive the 2008 economic downturn.

Company #13: Engineer #1/CTO - acquihired after 16 months but I was about ready to walk due to the CEO turning in to a raging arsehole the moment that big money started flowing in.

Company #14: Co-founder/CTO - got in to bed with the wrong co-founder/CEO - my mistake, should have vetted him more. I explain that we euphemistically "ran out of runway" but in reality I took his sticky fingers out of my pocket. Also, I didn't like being referred to as "you're just a programmer."

Company #15: Solo founder - did well, but was burning out and wrapped it up to concentrate on #16 at the request of my business partners.

Company #16: Did great - acquired by Big Corp against my will due to my two business partners (brought on after we were doing well) decided on a "hostile takeover" whereby we'd sell and they'd make money or they would drive the company to bankruptcy. Therapist says I have PTSD and should consider a different career or avoid co-founders/business partners in the future.

Company #20: Engineering hire #2 - so far so good. Three months in. No arseholes so far.

Company #21: ?
Thank you! That’s a great idea; I like not closing the door on startups so this is awesome.
Grocery delivery has been a great help, and I think probably makes more sense in general, but definitely so in cities/downtowns.

Still, I can get most, if not all, shopping for one done with a backpack and two feet. I don’t think it would be that different with a small family, and you can reasonably recruit family members to help. Growing up, my mom would take me shopping and I was always desperate to help (or “help” in the case of wanting to push the carriage). I think most kids at least start out this way and would be happy to carry a few bags assuming the journey isn’t too arduous, and it will make them healthier than spending that time with the PlayStation.

I lived in West Germany for a while, back in the day. On one of our postings, my dad (British Army Officer) ran a depot near Paderborn and one of his employees was a former Prussian Cavalry Lancier (or something similar). Herr Masker (I think). I have a lovely photo of us lot sitting on a sledge being pulled by horses.

Later on, we were stationed in Bielefeld. We also were stationed in Rheindahlen too (twice)

The thing is, this is from years back. I was a British brat living in a foreign country and enjoying myself. Germany in the '80s-2000 was streets ahead of the UK in many areas apart from their sewers which were ... crap.

When we lived in Monchengladbach for a while (twice, this was the first time) (a tour/posting is roughly 18 months) we became lifelong friends with a family called the Wurms (Dragons). That was in about 1978ish.

Herr Wurm was a Luftwaffe sergeant back in the day (conscription post WW2) and then did other things - a storming Scouter. He introduced us to the Weine probe thing on the Mosel and much more.

@hnbad: we are both Europeans (OK I'm a Brit but I partially grew up in Germany and W Germany at that - I was able to visit E Germany through Checkpoint "Charlie" back in the day , roughly 1979) That was quite odd: I remember watching a hedgehog from the other side of the Brandenburg Gate wandering across the grass. We also saw what East Germany was like back then. ... It's better now and of course it's reunited with the West.

> think also companies owning private prisons push anti-legalization propaganda. As they say, just follow the money...

There is way more propaganda in favor of legalization. And more money can be made selling cannabis than was ever made with prisional system.

I've read books, read papers about cannabis. There isnt enough information to make any claim weather legalization would cause a net positive or negative change in society.

Because of this, people usually goes into more philosophical argumentation. Which is fine.

But it is funny seeing people arguing that cannabis should be legalized because freedom. But are not OK with people using the same argument for not taking vaccines.
