I haven't worked anywhere "interesting" where this was not the case (except one non-profit in college)

That said, just because your employment agreement says what you do on your own time on your own equipment belongs to the company only does if the legal system decides it does

If you work for, say, a cybersecurity/network monitoring company and you develop a novel way of doing monitoring "on your own" ... yeah: that's gonna belong to the company

If you work at the same place and develop a clever way to increase fuel economy on an airplane engine? No, the company won't own it - because it's too far afield from their core competencies/areas of interest

The best way to approach this, though, without getting lawyers involved unnecessarily, is to get sign-off from $JOB that $PROJECT is not "theirs" ...and then stay the heck away from the company's core business with whatever your "project(s)" may be
> I'm not up-to-date about opportunities in India, but I can certainly say that the remark about prospects in China are outdated for Chinese citizens.

After spending around 5 years in a mid-ranked American university, I have to admit that the quality of physics PhDs from top Indian institutions (IISc, TIFR, etc.) is at least an order of magnitude better -- they publish more papers in better journals, meet with their advisers more often, etc. (Of course, the best American universities still produce some of the best work in the world, but again, they are only responsible for a small fraction of the total PhDs.) Indian academia isn't centered around obtaining research grants, so most theoretical physicists are still free to pursue hard problems that interest them. This also means that Indians who return to their country with a PhD from a mid-ranked American university with a thesis in a low-effort area will find it hard to get a job. And the Indian tech sector isn't particularly keen on hiring PhDs (who would anyway be overqualified for most jobs in the Indian tech industry). So yeah, Prof. Katz's analysis is still spot on for Indians doing a PhD in theoretical physics.

> With a PhD in physics, one could work for an investment bank; the government (e.g. NIST in the United States); the space industry; the private sector (e.g. optics, quantum computing); national security; and many other fields.

Sure, but most students enter graduate school with the hopes of becoming a professor at a university, not work as as investment banker. Jobs at NIST and in the space industry (and most federal labs) are often limited to US citizens because of security clearance issues. Also, these jobs are extremely limited in number (compared to say, data science jobs).

> The false premise is that the only opportunity you can get with a physics PhD is the opportunity to pursue a tenured professorship, which takes many years at low pay, and if you don't get a professorship, the only backup plan is computer programming.

Most physics PhDs I know who left academia are now working as data scientists. "Data science" wasn't a thing in 1999 when Prof. Katz wrote this essay, but at the same time it is not so different from a physicist becoming a computer programmer in the 1990s.

I use mind mapping as a tool for flow, and it allows me to dig an idea or a concept very deeply, very fast.

For example: If I have an unclear task at hand, it allows me to explode into sub-tasks, or ideas and in 5-10 minutes I have a big blob of more concrete stuff.

Also mind mapping is very useful to put very large concepts on a big canvas. e.g.: Need to design a feature? Easy. Write the feature, explore requirements/dependencies/blockers.

Lastly, I love to design contracts or tender documents with it. Put all requirements, group under sections, map dependencies, write notes, and convert to a document. Esp. with a large group. Reduces a 3 week intense work sprint to a week or 10 days of normal work at most.

Mind mapping is immensely useful and flexible. I both use FreeMind and MindNode.

Freemind is written in Java. It hasn't got much if any love in the last 10 years but it works fine. There's also a fork named Freeplane that's actively developed. The file formats are mostly compatible. I believe Freeplane files have some stuff in them that Freemind ignores.
Remember that the M1s are intended a the consumer line. Very few customers at that level are using multiple external displays.

I think most people look at it in a cost/benefit way. If it takes them three hours to research, they've spent 3x $hourly_rate + $item_cost—which in many instances may be more expensive than just selling off an item they can't stand and getting a different one. (To the extent that people do this even when it would pay for itself, I think it's mostly the result of just being in the habit.)

I try to view it instead as being paid (albeit at a lower rate) for my off time. (And if you do this for everything, you'll tend to spend less, have more in the bank, and the amount you get 'paid' will increase over time.)
> wild conspiracies

I gather that you didn't look at your employers Glassdoor reviews until after you left?

I'm really confused about your apparent conflict with having quit a toxic employer. Remaining only enables the a##holds to survive by pointing at nice guys like you. So being conflicted about leaving is likely down to the similar kind of human collective survival instinct kicking in that kept the 3rd Reich functioning until the organisational Medusa was finally beheaded.

Surveys like Glassdoor probably (in my hand wavy land of concrete civic ethical computability probably proven, but it does seem necessary to appeal to more than one kind of human evaluation to break chains like these) only contribute to the problem by giving antisocial and anethical CEOs sources for deriving operating limits that I suspect wouldn't work if more good folk such as yourself heeded Glassdoor information prior to accepting employment instead of maintaining a impossible to calibrate open book according to our individual experiences, which we then go right ahead and discount for being outliers based on our total presumptuous imagination that the obscenity of a organisation we're suffering from is actually quite good and normal because obviously we started giving the boss a neutral score because that's what fair unbiased scientific folk do.

That's exactly what fair unbiased scientific folk do also with great results, only every other situation where we apply our fair logic we're using wildly capable arrays of the most sophisticated linearized SI / ANSI calibrated measuring equipment that leverage chains of custody for reference and operating systems maximising the cumulative learning of mankind and human ability to reject misleading but tempting fallacies for fair fact.

This is a gross misunderstanding of my comment. Once more, do you believe that Twitter is hindering actual useful scientific findings? Of course not. The people who are funding useful research demand that the results be accurate. They are paying for it.

Governments can save a lot of money if it turns out climate change has no anthropogenic cause. On the other hand, if it does have an anthropogenic cause, they can save a lot of money if they understand that and take action. It doesn't matter what the Twitter mobs say.

That "reasonable subset" is to a first order approximation feminism.

All "isms" contain outliers, but it's a mistake to get too hung up them in almost all cases. One of the oldest tricks in the book for people trying to push back against idea is to identify these outliers and generate a narrative that this is what the idea is actually about - it's bad faith argument and shouldn't be engaged with.
I highly doubt it will ever be required at my company. Too many people made permanent moves away from the office, some nearby (2-3 hours away, but doable occasionally) and some far away (cross country). They know they'd lose a lot of people if they called everyone back.
> Tossing out a system that basically works in the hopes that a complete rewrite will solve all of our problems never works

Does it "basically work" though? You are, for example, aware that profit motives have driven things like:

- the water crisis in Flint, Michigan;

- the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by the United States and its allies in the early 2000s;

- the ongoing destruction of the Amazon rainforest (and the genocide that continues to go hand in hand with it) by ranchers seeking to increase their bottom line;

- the instance by airlines to continue flying completely empty planes all over the EU "to keep takeoff and landing times";

- the refusal to pass a TRIPS waiver for the mRNA COVID vaccine that prevents much of the world from accessing the most effective vaccines in a timely manner (or at all);

- the ongoing exploitation and perpetuation of underpaid or outright slave labor in many parts of the world by countries proped up by western colonial powers intent on delivering luxury items to their citizens at relatively low costs (while still reaping massive profits off those sales);

- etc, etc, etc.

I don't disagree that we need some intermediate solution like enforcing existing anti-trust legislation, repealing anti-union restrictions that outlaw effective labor organizing techniques, actually enacting harsh and swift consequences on companies that continue to destroy the environment (and the people who live in it).

But those are only short term solutions to immediate harms being perpetuated by a system that has for well over a century brought death and destruction to the earth and its people... not to mention what capitalism's ancestors did in the never-ending, blood-thirsty western colonial expansion throughout the globe.

So yes, let's enforce anti-trust laws... but let's not do that and think that alone will solve the myriad problems that have been thrust upon the peoples of the earth by a small number of extremely rich, profit driven people. And let's definitely not claim that the system that props up and perpetuates that behavior "basically works" when for most of the people of the world it patently does not "basically work".

I don't know what the ideal system is. I have my own utopian visions but I acknowledge they'll likely never come to pass. But we _have_ to try something different than what we're doing now. The current global economic trajectory is a deathwish that most people have not consented to.

Depends on what you mean by success. Those who rise through the ranks tend to have a combination of ambition and ability. I've worked with plenty of great devs who didn't have ambition to become a lead/manager never mind a VPoE. And, I've worked with plenty who had the desire to but they didn't have the ability.

I agree, but I think the HN crowd might grossly underestimate how difficult it is for lay people to get accurate, actionable advice that is also fully understood.

The default takeaway for a not small number of people is “don’t get married if you are successful and like financial security”.

Choreography in terms of doing things in concert with other road users without classing, including vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists). My point is that unleashing it on Tesla owners is obviously going to involve interacting with other road users.

Basically I use the same kind of philosophy as RFCs, and document things using ascii art where some kind of diagram makes sense. For example, see the TCP RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc793 where they use it for packet layout, flow diagrams, block diagrams, etc. It makes the whole thing self contained, you can copy paste diagrams to almost anywhere, easy to modify. Disadvantage is in some more complex diagrams it can get noisy

Every benchmark I've seen, things like boiling a quart of water show induction faster then electric faster than gas for comparable ranges.

You sure about the pans? Generally if a magnet sticks to your pan you are good. You don't need new pans marketed as "induction ready", you just need ones that a magnet can stick to, i.e. not completely aluminum.

Iron = ok, copper bottom = ok, any of the copper/AL/steel type sandwiches is ok. I've got a collection of pans from both sides of the family, years in college, and years since buying from various places. I've yet to find a pan/pon that does't work well.

Also keep in mind that induction creates inside the pot/pan, fire has to start working on the outside and let it conduct through.

If you ask a representative sample of men most will disagree strongly and loudly.

Even something as simple as getting feminists to condemn "kill all men" is hard.

I don't think you need these things to find a partner and have children.

Just go to a maternity ward. It sounds like you think everyone there is highly motivated, physically fit, and dedicated to working on relationships. They aren't. They're just normal people with a range of human flaws and a regular cross-section of society. Fat, thin, lazy, hard-working, professional, unemployed, etc.

This is why I love Ansible. As a DevOps enigneer I do not design or implement complex systems or programs. But I am responsible for the reliability of our systems and infrastructure. And Ansible is just pleasant to use for the same reasons stated by the author:

- no client side software
- pure SSH
- simple playbooks written in only YAML

Focusing on simplicity and maintainabilty has helped me deliver reliable systems.
OP here. You don't pay til you find a job. That's really how it works. It takes as long as it takes.
The innovation of the S-97 and it’s kin isn’t the main rotor but the pusher propellor which allows it to operate at speeds and altitudes far above what a conventional helicopter can achieve but it’s not fast enough for the main rotors to be locked in a fixed wing position, mainly because it’s not a good trade off for the roles which these fill.

It overall it kept quite a few design elements from the X wing such as the rigid wings on the main rotor and that the forward propulsion is achieved by a pusher rotor instead of the jet exhaust on the X wing.
> in theory they'll be generating over 10x the amount of power that they're putting into it

> Even your article states so

It's a subjective statement that cannot equate to some absolute "superior" claim.

> Electric cooktops take a lot of time to heat up and cool down,

An example of the "Gradual" archetype, I mentioned. This is beneficial in some cases and undesired in others.

> But with induction, you're afforded super precise temperature control which allows for more controlled cooking.

Precise temperature control is not the same as "controlled cooking". It's just one quality. The ability to spike/flash heat or spot heat a dish are examples of different forms of control as well.

> When you turn the burner off, heat transfer stops immediately, so there's less of a chance of foods boiling over or overcooking."

In some dishes this is preferred. It is a rare occurrence that you want to overcook (to then take it off and let it cook down as it cools).

Again, many of the points raised by bother sides seem to come down to required competence and skill for meals, rather than some absolute measure of utility.
