I'd say rather that some physicists are doing things that aren't properly called science. Science is only that which can be checked by experiment. This means clearing a space, acquiring tools, preparing the geometry, applying the theory to compute a prediction, and then executing the experiment, taking measurements, and comparing the measurement to predicted measurement. Drop the weight, apply the voltage. Press the button.
Well, at least they're still making games.
My negative reaction is related to Epic's microtransaction (aka gambling, often aimed at children) and DRM use as well as being 40% owned by Tencent so your puchases now will help fund genocide.
If you are shopping for a used car do you expect the price to be the same across the entire country?

No. Each region will have its own supply and demand that affect prices.

Employees are no different. If Google can find enough qualified people in Ohio for 80% of the salary, that’s the cost of an employee in Ohio. Just because it’s more in CA doesn’t change that.
I'm 55 now and I'm working on a side gig that's 'skillful manual labor' and I get a lot of satisfaction from the work and from becoming (let's hope) one of the best in the world at the thing.

Very nice article explaining SWIFT and some other things.

Being from a country no one gives a fuck about, I have experienced the sort of "discrimination" described many times. Banks, ISPs, stores, local ad users would just refuse to sell to me. It's a sad reality, but a reality nonetheless.

I still remember a needlessly lengthy email from an incorporation service explaining to me the difference between "lawyer" and "attorney". Seeing as I learned English from TV shows and the Internet... I still don't get why using the word "lawyer" got them so offended :D

I used to frequent the Amazon Bookstore on Southport in the Lakeview neighborhood because and it was actually pretty good for new title discovery. I always ended up getting books from there. The location was great with lots of nice shops surrounding it.

The 4-star store out at Oakbrook Mall though — I didn’t find as interesting but I’m not in the demographic that shops for gifts for others. It was pretty busy though.

Well yes. But in that sense, the Democracy has gone through a full lifecycle of elections, candidates starting, candidates retiring etc etc such that all processes for doing it are tested. So you can have confidence that it can handle a lot of things. But not necessarily ALL possible things so it may well be that something comes along and kills it. Maybe in 10 years, maybe in 100000 years. But for now, it seems pretty stable.

OP's point is that 2 years of remote work isn't a test that a company can successfully go through a lifecycle of a team of employees. You know, onboard a grad, get them up to speed, get useful productivity, maintain whatever system/documentation, have them leave AND repeat this until the original members of the team are all gone AND then check that things are still ticking along well.

It may be that said companies are "going well" because there is 1 person left holding the fort while a bunch of new starters fumble around with their remote work, not getting up to speed properly.

Unlikely maybe? But the point is that 2 years isn't a proper test of such working conditions.

EDIT: remove political rub.

He made a giant ruckus complete with mysterious tweets with hashes of secret documents to claim that Japan was going to have mass casualties from their ostensibly botched covid response.

It's okay to make a giant ruckus about something important that you believe nobody is paying attention to.

And it's okay to be wrong about that.

But it would be nice to see him publicly reckon with how he got it so wrong, and how he's altered how he reasons about the world to avoid getting it that wrong again.
Right, it is. Like I said, the figures I've pulled are from what I remember from 15 years back. Unfortunately I'm not able to find any sources with light searhcing.

I once flew in to the Bay Area from Europe for several meetings, but the most important one was with a team at Google. We were trying to finalize a deal and they really needed to be on board.

I arrived, checked in and was shown to a meeting room. A few minutes after the meeting was supposed to start the receptionist came scurrying in and connected me to the meeting via that cube looking meeting machine they had in every office. Everyone appeared on the screen from various different offices, some at home, and one person in the same building as me.

I regretted that trip the entire flight home.
The article gives the opinion that this is an entirely negative thing to have happened, and implies that it is bad for consumers. While it’s absolutely bad for Nvidia, I’m not convinced it’s bad for ‘progress’ of GPU/AI etc development. It’s obvious that Nvidia is big enough and rich enough to weather this storm, even if everything is released online, they will still be pretty dominant no matter how this plays out.

However I can easily foresee this info becoming public eventually making GPU tech cheaper and more efficient simply through increased competition. If there’s a dozen companies able to make ‘Nvidia Compatible’ drivers and hardware, then it stands to reason consumers will be the winners with more choice and lower prices. This of course comes at the expense of Nvidias, perhaps well deserved, monopoly profits.
My Stripe Tax Story
For me, "Give War a Chance" was where I started finding him less and less interesting, as he seemed to move closer and closer to Republican orthodoxy; "CEO of the Sofa" consolidated that for me.

The most memorable chapter for me in "Parliament of Whores" was Moscow on the Mississippi which, much like Whiffle Ball Life from "Holidays" was a great example of his willingness to turn his guns at the people who shared his party but not his ideals.
Thanks. CSPM products usually are great at finding any misconfiguration (compliance violation) in a cloud environment and mapping it to a Compliance framework.
This is important, compliance I mean, but I've seen numerous organizations struggle to find actual security issues within all those "compliance violations".
Don't get me wrong, configuring AWS Account contact details, resource tags and not underutilising resources is important, but not really a security issue.

ARGOS takes (currently) a subset of controls from well-known frameworks (like CIS, NIST, etc) and maps them to security frameworks like MITRE Att&Ck, but also automatically investigates each misconfiguration to see if there are other things in the environment exposed because of this one misconfiguration (i.e. "is an AWS RDS exposed because its SG allows access from an EC2 that is publicly exposed?") and then draws a diagram of the immediate environment around this misconfiguration, literally showing a "path" (cyber kill chain) that someone could walk if they were to make it into the environment.

ARGOS doesn't claim to find MORE things in an environment, we save you time where you'd have to manually investigate each alert, we show more context than just "here's a single misconfigured property" and we even have remediation baked into the platform.

Really, ARGOS probably doesn't 100% fit into the CSPM category. We have users that use a CSPM AND ARGOS.
Permanent underclass? Yes.

Mass incarceration? Depending on your definition
Just remember you aren't just fucking over your manager but also everyone else in the company and the customers.
How does going back to the office help with that?
Well, if it seems that more and more people are becoming full of themselves and it affects your mental state, I'd recommend changing your own attitude towards it. You can only change yourself, not other people.

I agree that the MAX design should have been fully redundant.

But the only reason there are pilots at all on an airliner is to deal with the unexpected.

I was told about one case where the elevator actuators froze in the slightly nose up position. The pilot called the cabin, and asked everyone to pack themselves into the front. With that he managed to bring enough pitch control to land it safely, but it surely was a terrifying ordeal for everyone on board.

(The actuators froze because of water buildup turning to ice at altitude. Actuators are now heavily designed and tested with freezing water. The stab trim test for this was quite thorough - the motors were very powerful and the ice scrapers on the nut would just peel the ice off. I also enlarged the drain holes in my car doors to Boeing spec so water wouldn't build up in them and rust.)
I think so. Systems like remote work, American Democracy are not simple enough to have a scientific proof to provide guarantees. So many factors that might not otherwise have affected the outcomes could affect an outcome in future. So the only fair statements are that remote work has been proven to work for 2 years and american democracy for 200ish years :-) This is quite fascinating
It does. The names of both concerns are (maybe were - been a few years since I passed by) on the sign in front of the building. I always wondered about the place, but looking it up slipped my mind.

Complete manipulative nonsense if they ever use "top of the band" as reason to change their relationship with you imo. A Ferrari doesn't stop being Ferrari just because it's parked amongst Priuses.

Ok, I can see what I have written that could read this way, but the context is completely about backward compatibility. Forward compatibility isn't a concept that appears often in software.
Being good at solving Wordle means having a low average score. (About 3.6 is best). You can't "win" that in one isolated day.
i "retired" (read, burned out) after 15 years and a failed startup attempt. loafed around and partied for 3 or 4 years.

Bought the farm. Wanted a house but not enough money, so i got a job framing. within 6 months i hired a guy i was working with and started a business framing houses just this january.

Its a lot of kinesthetic learning (and i was never in good shape let alone an athlete) which was a total 180 from what ive done my whole life.

And im now in the best shape of my life, went from hypertensive 130/80 and 80-90 pulse to 121/71 with a resting bp in the high 50s. and i started doing strength training, which is necessary to excel.

i guess it was time for a change of pace. and to round myself out. im going for the whole Renaissance man thing. Ive picked up so many skills and hobbies since i left the industry.

i still code for fun, and looking to automate some processes on the farm one day soon. namely watering.

> I personally prefer a company where everyone's on site. I want to be able to quickly resolve any issues in person

Many things at a big company like Google require working with people in different timezones. I would say more often than not, if requires working with someone in a building far enough away that you have to do a video conference anyway.
If anything, it's the opposite. Distributions provide security patches that upstream often do not.
I mean I can only speak for myself, but I don't look at another man going into a bathroom and stall and think "wait a minute.... is he NOT taking a shit?" then start getting my stopwatch out and cross-referencing that with studies of average defecation times.

Surely no one really cares.

There's a lot that can be done online, namely shopping (food and items), bills, taxes. It works because a $20k salary in US might be worth $80k in say, Malaysia, or $120k in somewhere like India. So you could probably hire someone very good with very little money.

What you describe seems close to the role of a home maid/nanny. They're popular in developing countries; households with a working couple here often have a maid or two. Ironically, they're uncommon in developed countries because the cost of living/minimum wage is too high.

If you have a friend who will do a blinded test for you, (a battery and charger in an opaque plastic container, plugged together or not plugged together) then you can figure out if the problem is real or psychosomatic. If real, there's various things you could try to mitigate it.

If psychosomatic, then good luck.
The problem with vowels is that there are sooo many words for each vowel pattern.
Probably just managers encouraged to increase the % of people who go on PIPs.

That's how tech companies usually do layoffs. Rather than admit they overexpanded and have to cut people (or that they are cannibalizing their own people to boost executive compensation) they blame it on departing workers by increasing the PIP-rape cutoff.
The fact that the policy is company wide certainly lends more pressure towards returning to the office. That being said something can be mandated but poorly enforced. In the Google case, it appears that the enforcement is tuned down by an (apparently) usable exception mechanism. One can infer based on this, that in the language of the article, the new policy is somewhere between “mandated” and “optional”. With all due respect, I think you are being overly pedantic.
Bandcamp isn't really great as a store either. They don't have a real shoping cart, only client side stuff that can fail and empty your cart and/or make the entire site stop working until you clear cookies (support's response is just "oh yeah, that happens"). It seems unlikely that Bandcamp isn't sustainable from an ordinary business perspective considering that they have been voluntarily giving up their fees one day a month to support artists.
Are Putin's nuclear threats a deliberate PsyOp to strike fear into the public so as to reduce calls for help/sanctions?
Facebook's remote work policies aren't even as generous as Google's as far as I can tell. They have level requirements.
I'll add - self proclaimed gatekeepers and self-absorbed "leaders" make hypocrisy obvious, leading to a lack of motivation.
The only people really comfortable in offices are the ones who are in it for the politics. Ditto everything you have said here including the taking a break. I learnt to code in bedroom 20yrs ago, and now im an architect at a global company working fully remote. our company has fully committed with Work Life Balance and now that means fully flexible - if u want to be an office, be in it, if u want to WFH, WFH. We are remote first, so there is always a video call for any meeting.

I actually think offices/the rat is a large part of our sickness we have as humanity. People are "forced" todo what they dont want, and therefor, they are less empathetic to others plights. If "i have to, they should". "i need to goto work, slug it out, they should do. they shouldnt leech of the state. they shouldnt take our jobs. they shouldnt.". It feels like the root cause of so much conflict.

Atleast thats how it played out in my immigrant family. They came to this country, dedicated there lives to work, made money, and died before they could appreciate it. Ive now had an education, and realised that their way of life, back on an island, is more satisfying for the soul. So im trying to bring both of those concepts together and live the dream they had for me. Instead of how their parents slugged it out 12hrs a day, and never spent quality time with them... Which resulted in little growth of grow social/parental skills, talked to everyone like they were a client, and were easily manipulated by conservative media because they never had any time to understand world events for themselves.

No longer does remote mean isolation. I have better relationships with my neighbours and community. I have internet access at the level of any city folk. I have less worries, i can take breaks in my workday that are meaningful for me, and therefor i give more of myself to my job. Thats how being FLEXIBLE to your employees brings about efficencies. Much more complex then a simple commute.
> How strictly is that enforced?

Anecdotally, I’m a CA homeowner and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
There may be personal legal repercussions - I want to travel there freely, but never do business there.
Ah, OK I thought anybody who lived in Santa Cruz and reported to the office 5 days a week would take a pay cut. This is just if you're fully remote, I guess. Still seems like a slap, Santa Cruz ain't cheap even if it's slightly better than San Mateo or Mountain View.
$800M feels rich though. Is it validated or just speculation by TechCrunch?
Congrats Troy! You’re building a great platform, glad to see this on HN today.

This is probably a biased question, because whenever I procrastinate, it will usually be here. There are days when I work 8 hours or more straight and I don't even think about visiting here.

But let's say about 4 hours/day. Days with a lot of meetings make it impossible to do maker work so I end up on here a lot more.

"scarce resources"

I wish the effort was put into making them less scarce. It's one of the very specific illnesses of American economic culture that we are willing to bite and claw each other over access to things that need not be rare.
A lot of companies will pay for stuff like a coworking space. It's a legit business expense. I specifically made sure to ask about that before I started at my current gig.
I too reread this sentence a few time to try and understand the message. I think that the author is trying to convey that he believes his work has a positive impact to the "global health" of the internet. Although this may come across of "full of himself" I think that it may be more of a positive mindset view of his work. If we can't convince ourselves of the value of our work then how we will ever convince the world?

I think the world would be a better place if you could all truly be this proud of our work. Is there anything we can do to make a material difference here?
Maybe workplaces should explore other campus styles, to replace the necessity of walking moderate distances. Maybe a campus built around a small lake, and employees can swim/row/kayak to their morning standup? Or some kind of giant multi-story climbing wall to replace elevators or stairs. I know I'd move across the country for a job where I could zipline down to the cafeteria.

There may be a few ADA and liability issues with these ideas... ski lifts would be a fairly accessible fun option.

This is all very interesting but it’s not really about perspective. Perspective is fixed based on the relative positions of the objects. What changes is how we perceive perspective when we squash a representation of a wide angle of view - ie what our eyes actually see - into a much smaller area (ie a photo or painting).

Stated like that it’s obvious that they can’t possibly look the same and you either get disappointment - the photo doesn’t look how you saw the scene - or if you’re an artist you deviate from reality to make a better painting.

If you make a really big photo and stand at the right viewing distance everything will look right
