I did something close to this before "fully remote" was popular. This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but it worked for me:

Take a non-remote job (as far as possible under Covid conditions) and spend a couple years proving your worth, then sell your manager on fully-remote. Be flexible but respect your non-negotiables whatever they are. At this point, if you're good, your manager is highly motivated to keep you and if you're being reasonable, they will try to make it happen.

Note that there are some companies -- particularly FAANGs -- that have very strict rules about this, so if your "ask" is "digital nomad" and you go to Google, that's not gonna work. But if it's "WFH in Tahoe" you can probably pull it off.

Good luck with it! I'm going to try the same next year if "starting my own startup" doesn't gel.
Wages don't matter. We offer 2-3x market rate and still have x000 vacancies.

People simply do not exist right now. It's very tough.

>Nurse to patient ratios have been getting smaller and smaller for many years now. It is a common topic in medical forums.

Again...this doesn't matter right now because the supply of nurses is just nonexistent.
If you don't have a crappy laptop in handy, you can test slow connection with Network Link Conditioner (if you have a Mac) and small screens with any browser's responsive design mode too.
Yes?

I didn’t say it was unsafe.
>When I’m around spiritual/hippie people, alot of them act like children, unadjusted for the demands of modern society, and I step back and think “why do I care?”.

One good reason to care is that adult children are an active liability in a functioning society:

From the last link: "There is some evidence that people who have experienced childhood trauma are more likely to identify as ‘spiritual but not religious’. There’s also some evidence that people who have experienced trauma are likely to turn to spiritual practices and worldviews as a way of coping and recovering. That’s a good thing — but it makes some spiritual people prone to a spiky libertarianism if they feel judged, shamed or told what to do. In a triggered state, they divide people into Us versus Them, Light versus Darkness... Myths are useful sometimes, but if you always see the complexity of modern life through a Lord-of-the-Rings lens, you might not be much help to your culture."
They were predicting a crash at the tail end of 2019, pre-COVID-19. None of them predicted what happened next although I bet some will claim March 2020 was what they foretold.

Thanks for the clarification.

I was replying to the poster who was using:

and so I assumed they were already operating in a class component.
I’m curious how you found out he had multiple jobs? I agree 100% that someone should get fired if they aren’t doing the work. But it is typically illegal to fire someone just for moonlighting unless it is in their contract.
Pretty sure economists are still debating what caused and ended the Great Depression. Some have ideological incentives to come to the conclusion that the gold standard was to blame and government spending is the answer to all problems.
Decisions have always been mostly based on feelings. The foundation for all decisions is and always has been values. Values are opinions based on feelings. From the foundation of values, you can use logic to ensure that you are consistently following your values (feelings) but the foundation is still emotional.

In the past, american culture (at least in the media) was more of a monoculture, which meant more shared values. When you derived decisions from the shared values using logic, you would come to the same place using the same path. This could make it appear that people were mostly using logic.

An example of what I mean by values are:

Optimizing for economic efficiency is more important than the suffering of the people at the bottom.

Or increasing the average wealth is more important than decreasing the variance of wealth.

People having free healthcare is more important than property rights.

In any debate or discussion, the logic is virtually irrelevant when the values arent shared.

I was sitting on cash and bought in at the bottom. Although I do this every two weeks automatically. I must be a market expert!
also, it usually forget that humans are in essence emotional beings.
emotions and the relation between people and these emotions are far too large to ignore in advance of "rational" thinking.

I would argue Facebook are abusing their market dominance by walling out other communication platforms prevent any real choice.

I would expect the competition and markets authority to act.
And a reason why it's going to be hard to maintain that remote paradise developers are hoping.

Laws are generally not written for the average, decent person, but to stop the degenerates who would try to murder, destroy, etc, and wouldn't be punished otherwise.

People cheat on remote tests and interviews, for example.
The only answer I have to you: I learned not to give a damn about trolls. Maybe start something useful with your life instead of claiming things that aren't true?
Clients often approach be because they've read my articles, which means they have a rough feeling about my skillset.

If they offer me to write an article about something I already know, I don't have to do much research.

Writing 1k words takes around 1h if the outline is good, so I have 2-3h hours time to do research about things I already know.

The scattergun approach will see everybody be right some of the time. It's those experts who say they predicted X but X is irrelevant if we can't compare to Y, where Y is the number of times they've made such claims.
This. Exactly.

Problem is that everyone knows the spyware issue, but if you leave WhatsApp, install every secure messenger that no one you know uses, you'll be a lonely guy.

Real security it turns out is just not communicating.
I think there might be some script loading rules, too. That prevents JavaScript from an internet loaded site accessing local content
> I'm still ticked off that Google Allo was the best designed chat app of the past decade and that they thought Messages with RCS features could take its place.

This. Allo was baller and I used it to chat with basically everyone and then it shut down. Took me years to convince anyone to switch off of WhatsApp after that

To be clear, in the US, that would also limit dealing with any LLC who's beneficial ownership is sanctioned.

One way to reduce your tax load is to contract through your LLC, pay yourself a salary from that, and get taxed as an S Corp. It helps to hire an accountant who knows how to handle most of this for you.

I would not expect to have this insurance for long periods of time

What kind of meaningful job produces enough value to justify making 7x what the median US worker makes?
You mean FAANG or just general “tech” companies that are working on user software stuff?
Nope. Originally I opted out when it let me (was that 2016?) and when this tos came along I couldn't get some people to switch to signal so decided to see how long it will let me press the x button. Which still works.
It seems the pop up has a 24h cooldown for me (EU).

This.

If I write an article that shows how your SaaS integrates with <POPULAR_SERVICE_OR_FRAMEWORK> then this is worth much more than $500.
There certainly are a lot of beliefs in economics. It is not as easy to run experiments on economical theories as it is in physics, so saying "it is a science" may give people the wrong impression. I agree it is a science in a way, but not really a hard science like physics or medicine.
The new TOS didn't really change much for one to one conversation but it exposed the previous TOS when people started comparing clauses and actually read it. I accepted the terms and use WhatsApp if I absolutely have to. No personal stuff there. They still have my metadata but I've tried to give them as little data as possible. No status and no profile photo. No Google drive backups.
also, the definition of neo-liberalism is about as vague as can be. it means different things to different people in different contexts.
Or you can deploy your monolith several times, for each scaling profile.

That’s not a reason to do micro services.
There is only one thing that will affect your salary - it's what you are able to get at other companies. So the best strategy is to have several companies outbid each other. When you search for jobs, don't just get an offer from one job, try to get an offer from at least 10 jobs.

You can compare the company with yourself trying to buy an house: The house is on sale for $140 (the seller is the developer). If there is only one bidder, you could even buy the house for $130 (you are the only company to give an offer to the developer), but if there are 10 bidders, you will probably end up buying (hiring) the house (developer) for $250.

It's a matter of how desperate the employer are.
If they already have many developers - lookup their salary and if it's low they are not desperate enough, eg. they already have a stream of cheap talent.
Some brave souls will compare to prior crashes by naming the years. But tying themselves to such also exposes them to ridicule if they get is spectacularly wrong. Financial "experts" only have their reputations to keep them employed so they need to be able to insulate themselves from any narrative.
It's funny that all of these type of comments mention Winnie the Pooh when I'm pretty sure this is a reddit injoke they've convinced themselves is important. Does anyone in China know they're supposed to be epically owned when you say that?
The Eastern Bloc did ... kind of a lot of violent coercion? The penalty for jumping the Berlin Wall was not losing your job.
> An MVP is supposed to actually work (be viable) and be something that you can actually put in front of users to test your business hypothesis.

Agreed, few of the comments in this thread seem to be throwing the 'V' of the MVP out the window.

It's not another word for a mock up or a proof of concept, and when did it start being a "process" instead of a "thing"?

I think Daniel Kahneman's book 'Thinking, fast and slow' lays out a very good framework for thinking about thinking.

To summarize: People have two strategies for thinking: System 1 (fast, reactive) and system 2 (slow, methodical).

System 1 works quickly but is less accurate; it's more about pattern-matching and reacting to new information. This type of thinking was historically useful to quickly detect and react to predators (fight or flight response).

System 2 works slowly and is more accurate, it's about synthesizing information with existing information, calculating and critical thinking. An interesting point made in the book is that most people cannot effectively use system 2 thinking when they're doing strenuous exercise or when they're under significant stress. Try multiplying 2+ digit numbers in your head while doing strenuous exercise.

I think this book neatly explains why fear is a good way to control a population; it suppresses people's system 2 thinking abilities and makes them lean more on inaccurate system 1 pattern-matching and makes them highly reactive (easily 'triggered'?)... Then the media can exploit this reactive system 1 state of mind (looking for a predator to fight or run from) to send people off on a wild goose chase in all directions (and pitch them against one another) to distract them from what's really going on.
What’s your strategy if the 2nd job is more time-consuming than you hoped for? Quit within a month?

Or do you only go for part-time contracted stuff, so you can prioritize your original job and then fill in the gaps with paid productivity at the part time gig?
I noticed that too, so many damaged/healing people in those “spiritual” communities, but I was refraining from the conclusion because I had begun to wonder if they were just more comfortable admitting it

Between noticing that and noticing that all the universe and energy talk is a proxy to shove Christianity down their throats, I find it strange and wonder if it is deliberate. Like many of the most obvious practioners will begin with being distinct from organized religion, offering a belief systems with no deity and the connectness of nature, but then get their followers with Christianity later. Clever, contrived.

Edit: from your third article

> “The other religious group that scores high in science-scepticism and anti-vaccine sentiment is white evangelicals.”

Okay there it is, thats because its the same people.
Long Long Ago
> if you're outside of the US, set up a local LLC so that US-based companies can treat you like an independent contracting business. That'll make it much easier to hire you across borders. And at that price, you can surely afford the $1000 annually for a tax advisor retainer.

In my experience you shouldn't need to do this. In fact, I suspect doing this creates both a taxation and legal nightmare.

You should have a registered company (or any other trading entity) so you can bill as an independent contractor. However, it should be registered in your country of residence. Services like Deel exist specifically to facilitate this sort of arrangement, it's a breeze.

If you register a company in the US, you can't just arbitrarily transfer the money to yourself internationally. You'd need to pay yourself as an international independent contractor anyway. Except then you create legal issues, since there are likely legal issues with a company you run hiring another company you run. Additionally, by operating two companies, you're presumably filing two company tax returns, and paying yearly registration fees for two companies.

I've interacted extensively with educated people in the West and China. The asymmetry is obvious.

Most educated people in the West have almost no clue about China. Most educated Chinese people at least speak English to some degree, they're heavily exposed to Western popular culture, and many use VPNs to get around the Great Firewall.

> I'd like to point out how much more distorted the news is within China than within liberal democratic nations.

The news in China is, of course, heavily biased.

However, when it comes to coverage of China, the news media in Western countries does a terrible job. Coverage is extremely distorted, and focuses almost exclusively on whatever issues the current US government is pushing (Xinjiang, Taiwan, etc.). Almost anything will be presented in a negative light. China builds a railway in Laos: is China trying to debt-trap Laos? China exports over a billion doses of vaccine: can we trust Chinese vaccines?

I don't think watching CNN or reading the NY Times regularly will confer even a basic understanding of China. The picture you'll get will be warped beyond recognition.
I went to their website, and it says:

Note from Jonathan Mayer, the Principal Investigator
Hi, my name is Jonathan Mayer. I’m the Principal Investigator for this academic research study. I have carefully read every single message sent to our research team, and I am dismayed that the emails in our study came across as security risks or legal threats. The intent of our study was to understand privacy practices, not to create a burden on website operators, email system operators, or privacy professionals. I sincerely apologize. I am the senior researcher, and the responsibility is mine.

The touchstone of my academic and government career, for over a decade, has been respecting and empowering users. That’s why I study topics like web tracking, dark patterns, and broadband availability, and that’s why I launched this study on privacy rights. I aim to be beyond reproach in my research methods, both out of principle and because my work often involves critiquing powerful companies and government agencies. In this instance, I fell short of that standard. I take your feedback to heart, and here is what I am doing about it.

First, our team will not send any new automated inquiries for this study. We suspended sending on December 15, and that is permanent.

Second, our team is prioritizing a possible one-time follow-up email to recipients, identifying the academic study and recommending that they disregard the prior email. If that is feasible, and if experts in the email operator community agree with the proposal, we will send the follow-up emails as expeditiously as possible.

Third, I will use the lessons learned from this experience to write and post a formal research ethics case study, explaining in detail what we did, why we did it, what we learned, and how researchers should approach similar studies in the future. I will teach that case study in coursework, and I will encourage academic colleagues to do the same. While I cannot turn back the clock on this study, I can help ensure that the next generation of technology policy researchers learns from it.

Fourth, I will engage with the communities that have contacted me about this study, which have already offered valuable suggestions for future directions to simplify, standardize, and enhance transparency for GDPR and CCPA data rights processes. I very much appreciate the earnest outreach so far, and I will be reciprocating.

If you have questions or concerns about the study, please do not hesitate to reach out. I gratefully acknowledge the feedback that we have received.

Thank you for reading, and again, my sincere apologies.

Emotion is the product of stress. As the economy continues to deteriorate for the average worker, expect a lot more feeling.

Real wage deterioration starting around the time that this chart peaks lines up nicely with my hypothesis.

Rich people don't feel this stress so they can't understand why poor people are emotional.
That's the distinction between an MVP and a Prototype. While it can be useful to put together a hack and slash version, it needs to be marketed as such. Shameless plug, but I wrote about this exact thing: https://www.machow.ski/posts/galls-law-and-prototype-driven-...

What does this mean?
I'm in Barcelona.

There are many vegetarian and vegan restaurants, yes. But when I go out for dinner with my Spanish friends they wouldn't pick those places. They'd always go for traditional places.

Which means you end up with exactly the kind of thing you mention "Uhhh yeah we might have a salad for you" :D

I'm not strictly vegetarian so it's not so much a problem but I had a colleague who used to come with us for lunch who got fed up with that.

But as a tourist you'l be fine yeah.

I'm from the Netherlands myself and the supermarkets there have a huge range of vegetarian and vegan foods. Here it's usually a corner of one of the fridges.
It matters in the grand scheme. The pandemic started 21 months ago, and there is still insignificant movement in wages.

Also, if you offered 20-30x, the people would exist (for your facility). And if you offer 2-3x market rate and cannot attract people, then not only is x not the market rate, but 2-3x is not either.
Unless one is socially inept, it reads as a veiled threat. When someone asks one a question, it is likely to the point of certainty that social humans will consider (1) who is asking (2) why are they asking (3) what is the tone and (4) what is the text of the question. Failing to understand this or refusing to acknowledge it just means that one is bad at humans.
In that case, just cut out the middle man and start reading their medical records. Who needs privacy?

(... And then people rationally respond to such an invasion by no longer going to the doctors and lying about their medical history...)

We can't interpret people's desire for privacy as damage and route around it. There's decades of history of scientists interacting with the public to show why that has negative consequences for society.
Don't those workers working multiple 'full time' jobs usually have temp contracts paid by hour or service?

I haven't seen a full-time contract that would allow me to take other such commitments from other companies. Whereas when I was a freelancer I had to demonstrate that I have at least 3 roughly equal sized clients to be legally recognized as such.
In my hospital (located in Ohio), yes it's about that. We are seeing the overwhelming majority of deaths from unvaccinated individuals. I don't have the exact number in front of me but I believe before I logged off on Friday it was somewhere in the upper 90%s. Like basically every other hospital system in the state we've been above capacity for months.
Headsets? Man, you're behind the curve. We are all floating in our Otherland haptic tanks now, immersed in tactile gel and walking unimaginable rich worlds. Plus we get to entertain The Zuck, our king. Should've accepted that policy.
