It is a strawman. Why would we retire a term that describes the exact logical fallacy you were/are making?

The original argument was essentially "I would prefer to die quickly than go through a nuclear holocaust". Your response was to put up a much weaker form of pain or suffering (i.e. living past 45 or in a rural area) so you could bat that down: "Are you going to kill yourself at 45 to avoid aging?"

That is literally the exact definition of a strawman argument.

German leihen is loan, while verleihen is lend.
The "ver" is akin to "away", i.e., "loan away" (though this isn't a 1:1 translation and only works for one of the meanings on both sides of the language barrier).
> I think our intelligence community and executive branch did an incredible job of establishing themselves as a high-credibility source from even before the invasion, allowing them to easily counter propaganda sponsored by Russia or whomever else.

I noticed that too, and I've seen a few experts other than you say it. I've always thought that the US fell far behind on information operations. Others like the Russians seemed to run circles around the US, which would produce anodyne responses much too late. I despaired that the US didn't seem to prioritize it, and would inevitably lose contests for hearts and minds, and lose them gradually in the long run. Organizationally, what do you think was the difference that motivated this change? Will it happen again?

Perhaps even less than half. At my last job, only three of the ten people on my team were going into the office, and yet the rest of us were still perennially out of the loop.

That said, I don't think it has to be that way. Companies and teams do have the ability to choose their cultures and communication styles in an intentional way. It's just that very few actually do. And this is a situation where you absolutely do not want to accept the default configuration.
I haven't had this problem, unless artists can do something that looks identical to this on the face.

I had an artist take "Album 1", "Album 2", "Album 3", and "Album 4", which I purchased through a whole-discography purchase, and merge them into "Album 1-4". It turns out I was able to download the originals anyways.

Same. I've never had a problem. I typically talk to my team numerous times per day via Zoom, Slack, Phone, etc.

I think the poster has an issue with their company that they are projected onto the industry.
I think you're reading the 2 hour a day thing the wrong way. It typically refers to actual work time, meaning...doing something. The length of your work day minus all the collaboration.

It's common for office workers to have at least 3-4 meetings a day which basically destroys the day already. You'll have only tiny snippets of productive time left, which are then again interrupted by email and chat. It would actually be a challenge to come to 2 hours of productive time in such a day.

It used to be that only managers were stuck in meetings and email all day long but now the same applies to office workers that actually need to produce something. A meeting is not a product, your customers didn't order a meeting and you can't ship a meeting.

Anyway, thanks for picking up the slack. I'm back to playing flappy bird now.

I worked on a Silicon Valley campus in 1999 and it was just the same: most of the people I interacted with _were_ on campus but it was seldom worth schlepping to whatever building they were in so we mostly used netnews and email.

> I don't think elsewhere it's called an "exit strategy" to seek financing

I don't think that's how it is used in this context either.

A lot of early stage money in tech startups is there for the short(ish) term, and they definitely want to get their money out (i.e. "exit") at some point, not build a business over decades.

It's their usage of "exit", and the need to have a strategy for it, which drives the usage more broadly, I think. Agree it can be a bit confusing by confounding the above needs.
Perhaps true, but quite offtopic

The POINT was that "merely performing typical state administrative functions" somehow makes them a legitimate government.

That is beyond absurd

Whether or not Mussollini made or failed to make the trains run on time, these administrative functions, whether performed well or poorly does not make any difference - they make them no less a criminal or despot.

EVERY warlord needs to perform some admin functions, and it does NOT in any way confer legitimacy if they do so. Mafia dons contribute to hospitals and festivals, but it does not make them less criminals.
> … is an interesting strategy. I would assume that US officials knew the Chinese would pass this information to the Russians, right?

Pass what information? Russia's troop movements? I'm pretty sure Russia already had that info.
That's right. I would remain skeptical of anyone with ill-gotten gains who promises future generosity.

> The above seems to put the lie to the argument I've often heard that the justification for these cost-of-living adjustments is that in-person employees deliver more value than remote employees.

Only the horribly uninformed would ever make such a bad faith argument. You've never been paid based on your "value" but rather what it takes to keep you as an employee. The company only wants to pay you enough to keep you and if you move some place cheap well they don't need to offer as much.
I read these and wonder what folks think about all the distributed teams in companies. Is the view that they are just generally less effective?

> I want to be able to quickly resolve any issues in person

I think this was more true for me when I was earlier in my career and remote tech really sucked. But now I see it as generally negative to have to sync with someone else to resolve an issue they (or I) am working on. In my experience, in-person bias is a symptom of a team that does not communicate well in writing (emails, Slacks, Jira, etc.).

> where someone can tap me on the shoulder when they need help leads to overall higher productivity

There is literally decades of published research that refutes this for knowledge work. IIRC the first studies were done in the 1950s or thereabouts, and I am not aware of any big studies that have come since that concluded differently. (IIRC Microsoft's campus was originally designed to give every engineer a solo office because Gates read _Peopleware.)

I will admit that working in interrupt-driven style does produce the feeling of getting more work done, whether or not that is actually true.
Fraud is defined as wrongful or criminal deception that results in financial or personal gain.

A company telling me my worth is based on where I live at that exact moment definitely feels like wrongful deception intended for financial gain.

You SHOULD be putting the smallest amount of effort/time into work and try to get away with as much as possible. Worshiping the line going up and to the right so an executive/founder can write themselves a bigger bonus is fruitless. Putting any of your personality/self worth into work is a personal fault you should improve on as well.

I applaud all shirkers, they are the winners in your story.
I would think it's something like coil whine. I often get annoyed by crappy chargers making high-pitched noises, and high pitches definitely have the propensity to cause headaches.
There are plenty of people who voluntarily fast the whole time, though, and it's widespread enough that almost everyplace has a fish special on Fridays. Anyone 'feasting' on anything is kind of missing the point. This is the kind of thing where you can find examples of whatever you care to look for, though.
One is legal the other isn't.... This isn't hard you would be committing fraud no questions. Also depending on how you've lied you'd also be on the hook for tax issues to the government rather then just and issue with your company.

>Only the people with an assigned desk in the offices that are re-opening are mandated to go back.

But you are still using the same word that I was getting tripped up on. Either the return to the office is optional or it is mandated. It can't be both.

Hard to assess. If the charger uses a high frequency switching power supply = you may be strangely sensitive?
One easy solution is to place the charging battery in a metal box = a Faraday Shield or cage. This block radiated energy. The power cord must go through a gap n the lid, but 99% of the radiated energy will be blocked(depends on whatever gap you leave) - one assumes normal AC line radiation is not a problem as it has not happened before.

Their design and layout (the "4-star" stores too) borrowed heavily from popular late 90s/2000s UK bookstore chain "Waterstones" IMO.

I've always found the physical similarity of Amazon's own retail store efforts to Waterstone's curious, as Amazon actually tried a partnership with Waterstones to sell Kindles and such years before opening their first stores back in 2012... First Amazon book store with remarkably similar design and layout to a Waterstones followed in 2015. As a UK expat living in the US my first thoughts on entering an Amazon Book store here was just how much it was like Waterstones.

Could just be coincidence!

I just don't understand why it's physical rather than verbal. You have to talk to solve the problem anyways right? Isn't that the point of being colocated?
Unless their performance becomes unacceptable, I don't see the problem that someone works only an hour per day.
Individuals as well. My team is going to mixed-remote. Every single application for full time remote work in my org of hundreds was approved.
You could just use `history.back()` instead of pushing a new url... beyond this, you may need to listed to history changes so that your UI response... most spa frameworks have a router that supports this without much issue.
I’m living in Russia. If no one from outside will use nukes, then he will be fine. Everything operates normal, people doing everyday work and relax at the evening. You won’t see much difference from any EU capital in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
I love SPAs. When used correctly.

SPA stands for Single Page Application.

It makes sense when what you expect is an actual application. Tools that just happen to be running within a browser for convenience. The browser just happens to be delivery mechanism.

On the other hand if the user expects navigable, hyperlinked content, SPAs just get in the way of navigation and make users' lives miserable for no good reason.

I want to move forward, move backwards, make a bookmark, open multiple tabs. It is frustrating when the application makes it impossible when those would be completely reasonable operations on, say, news site.

"Confirmation bias" seems overly harsh. EEG does actually measure brain activity and it's certainly useful for some clinical/research tasks--if you don't mess it up (which is very easy to do). The trick is that you have to play to its strengths, which involve measuring large-scale activity patterns, like sleep (or epilepsy). If you want to measure something very localized, you need another technique (ideally with a hole in the skull).

In fact, I'd say that there is no overall "best" tool.

fMRI has the best (non-invasive) spatial resolution, but since it relies on blood flow, the temporal resolution is sluggish.

EEG has great temporal resolution, but even with fancy source-reconstruction techniques, the spatial resolution is very poor. It's certainly useful for some things, especially those related to global "state" factors. It's also very portable--if you can control EMI and movement artifacts.

MEG is something of dark horse: very good temporal resolution, and the spatial resolution often good--mostly. Since it relies on detecting magnetic fields, it cannot detect neural (electrical) activity that is radial to it. The other big drawback is that it required a large and expensive system with cryogenically-cooled superconducting detectors. However, the newer OPM detectors are cheaper and work at room temp, so more real-world things are possible.

fNIRS, PAT, and ultrasound seem like they might be good in some applications too.
> How do you feel about psyops deployed domestically, against US citizens?

Short answer is that PsyOp is not used domestically.

There are a number of criteria for something to be considered actual factual psyop activity, and a private company attempting to influence US citizens would automatically fall short of those criteria. My work was done exclusively and entirely in Afghanistan.
My opinion is that for a couple of years companies were able to coast on the retained employee knowledge while remote.

However as people leave the company or new people join, it is pretty difficult to ramp people up to be as effective as their replacements. I don’t work at Google so maybe everyone who works there is a genius, but I’ve noticed this at my work where it takes quite a long time for people to be 100% effective and it’s mostly because people have meetings and other obligations that make it challenging to bring ppl up to speed.
Orgs vary. There are absolutely people who had applications denied. All I can say is that in my org (hundreds of people), every single application was accepted.
I would counter that data freshness and authZ concerns make SPAs a poor fit for most things. What you're proposing in this thread is that good SPAs essentially need to hold all data client side and not have to worry about out of band cache invalidation, which seems like a pretty rare set of circumstances.

Fitch Downgrades Russia to 'B'; on Rating Watch Negative
The odds of ordering nuclear Armageddon are quite different from ordering a limited nuclear strike to show them you mean business and to deter further intervention. The Russians might opt to nuke a carrier. Or a small city. Putin is explicitly holding the world hostage at nuclear knife-point, and you let him take your wallet, let him slice off a finger (Crimea). Now, the nuclear thug shoots you in the arm and nukes a town. What do you do? Do you allow them to mutilate you because if you don't you'll be in a struggle where you could both easily die? Or do you choose to resist, and risk death, because they are going to take more and more of you anyway?

As long as the nuclear bully refrains from this behavior, it's all good. Once he starts it though, we're in a new era of nuclear risk. I hope that all of our governments have explicit, mechanical contingencies in place to react to a limited nuclear strike, and that immediate escalation is NOT standard operating procedure. But what is the proportional response for the US if Russia nukes a small city in Western Ukraine? I have no idea. This is all really very terrible and we'll be lucky to get out of it without at least one town glowing in the dark.
I believe you described the principle of least privilege, or something similar to it.

I mean... sustainably replacing senior people with junior people is the predominant arc of life throughout all human history. People retire or die.

You need to make sure you aren't replacing them so fast that the median experience level is dropping, but it's certainly the case that the average experience level of the incoming cohort is expected to be lower than the outgoing one.
The journalist has an incentive to maintain and advance their career. That's really the primary incentive at play here. There are no rewards for integrity or honesty.
Yes! You are hinting at something fairly important which is, the whole != sum(parts).
Most of these studies show individual productivity is higher when remote. That doesn't mean overall productivity is.
Individual productivity only matters in the big picture, if everyone is 100% aligned and focused.
Which, will never happen.
This is quite sensible comment. I am sure not much liked here.

At my work at very anti-remote employer, there are so many people who have obtained permanent remote. So I wouldn't be surprised people who Google thinks valuable would get individual arrangements and other who just themselves think they are valuable are in for rude surprise.
For me, I'm just not comfortable sitting in an office. It's cold, the air is dry, the windows are tinted a horrible deep blue and don't let in any natural light. Everybody else is fine with these conditions, but I'm not. There is just no way to have the exact same conditions fit everyone, which is one of the problems with offices - everyone stuck together in the same room with little to no power over their surroundings.

Additionally, I can't push myself to be productive for 8 hours straight. My productivity has gone way up now that I can have a good long break in the middle of the day. You can't really go and have a 3 hour break in the office and even if you did, what would you do? - at most you can sit in the cold kitchenette and stare at the wall, at which point I'm literally wasting my life.
What happened to my career after 2010? (2021)
> Can you go remote within commute distance of the office and keep your salary?

Yes. I know somebody working remotely about 10m driving from the office.

To keep your salary you'd need to stay in the SF bay area, which is defined according to country lines.
I think it could be a common delusion of the invaders. In the Iraq war, I think the Bush administration really thought, in a fit of megalomania, the Iraqis would welcome them as liberators. I once read a military historian who said (paraphrasing), "you can always identify a bad war plan when it ends with 'and then the local population will rise up and join us'". It's such an incredibly egocentric view of the world.

I knew someone who was in one of the lead units in the Iraq war. They said they were instructed to tell people in each town that the US forces had come to liberate them, and that the locals would of course rise up and help the Americans. They said every town was the same: they'd make the announcement, and then they'd hear the mortars coming ...

It turns out people don't like foreigners with guns taking over their towns by force, no matter what their stated intentions. Imagine how you would feel.

In fact, SingleFile implements several ways to save space. In practice, the most effective mechanism is shaking the CSS tree.

It's amazing how much CSS is useless in a page. It's especially annoying for SingleFile if it contains images... That's why SingleFile removes (almost) all unused rules, selectors and CSS properties by calculating the CSS cascade.
