> American workers across various ages, industries, and income brackets have experienced heightened levels of fatigue, burnout, and general dissatisfaction toward their jobs since the pandemic’s start. The difference is, more young people are airing these indignations and jaded attitudes on the internet, often to viral acclaim.

I left Amazon after a 10+ year career.

I was encouraged to hire foreign nationals from specific countries, because their visa situation makes it harder for them to leave Amazon without having to leave the country.

When my own people were being let go for no reason at all, I was told not to interfere. I was directly mentored on disconnecting myself from individuals in my organization, because it would help me do what’s “right for Amazon”.

I sat in an off site with various leaders from the broader company. American workers just won’t work as hard, I was told. We need to expand our engineering pool to other markets, to cut costs and because those people have a lower standard of living and will work harder. I am quoting multiple Amazon L10s.

Those 10 years, I was miserable. I cut off from my family. My friends eventually stopped calling. I became more and more isolated. I put on excess body weight. My mental health suffered.

To be clear, I’m immensely privileged and left Amazon with a boatload of money and assets. In retrospect, I was part of a machine that exploited people. That’s where my money came from.

Gen Z needs to realize that being smart about this and simply “dreaming” isn’t enough. My former Amazon bosses are ready to replace Americans with workers on the global market. They have no empathy, and they openly view it as a weakness. It is LITERALLY a rat race.
I suppose you'd have to write your resolution as "apnews.com will at some point publish a page with the <title> tag containing '49ers', 'win', 'Super Bowl'" and hope the possibility of some sort of retraction would be priced into the market.
This is interesting. Thanks for the link.

I expect it is more complicated than that, and less adversarial. The states really could make life more unpleasant for the reservations if they wanted, and the feds couldn't necessarily keep that from happening. It's in everyone's best interest to play along.

This is true. I have a Sony noise cancelling one that is pretty good both for music consumption and for piano practice. And that's about the only bit where I'm really picky, digital pianos can - and do - sound wonderful embedded in a piece of music but once they have to pretend to actually be a piano, for practice or to render midi files of previous recordings then suddenly sample quality is so much more important than just for regular playback.

I took a long time to decide which digital piano I would buy because I could not find one that felt close enough to the real thing to make me happy to practice on it but eventually found the Yamaha P-515 and it is as close as it gets feel wise and sound wise (but not on the built in speakers, but a set of external monitors). Especially in the low end that gets nasty quickly if you hit a couple of notes with sustain.

But that's not a regular listening to music situation.

Agreed on trying to 'match your hearing' the problem there is that matching your hearing and physical comfort are not always to be found in the same brand, and when you're wearing headphones for 8 to 12 hours per day physical comfort becomes a major factor.

I'm not sure which part of the article you rely on to assert that "the activity is overstated", but it claims:

> With blockchain analysis, however, we can track NFT wash trading by analyzing sales of NFTs to addresses that were self-financed, meaning they were funded either by the selling address or by the address that initially funded the selling address.

Any wash sale not doing exactly that will be missed. The article itself is titled "Chainalysis Detects Significant Wash Trading and Some NFT Money Laundering" which does not bode well, on top of the arguments made in the HN comment I linked.
Ejecting from a fighter plane is not only dangerous. It is relatively common that people who eject develop spinal injuries because of it.
I think you're on to something, but there is one thing that I question:

> As far as I can tell, the difference was that by the time they reached mid 20s they were quickly running out of peers who would tell them it was a good idea to embrace such a lifestyle forever. The real world catches up and you notice that your real-world friends who work normal jobs and “settle down” are actually having a good time (on average) while the vagabonding lifestyle gets progressively less glamorous as you get older.

ARE the people working normal jobs and settling down having a good time?

Interestingly, my sister and I, who now live together, took very different paths in our 20s and therefore ended up with different social circles. I was more of the studious, behave, responsible sort and so most of my friends/network is as well. My sister was a party girl (lots of raves, drugs, etc. - very much the vagabonding type of lifestyle).

Now we're in our 30s and while my friends might have slightly nicer apartments, their situations aren't that different.

My proper middle-class friends can't afford houses, can't afford kids (or they have to give up their career/take a huge standard of living cut), can't afford healthcare, are buried under student loans, and can't save enough for retirement.

My sister's vagabonding friends can't afford houses, can't afford kids, can't afford healthcare, and can't save for retirement, but at least they got to have some fun.

I'd say that the reward for behaving is much less than it used to be.
Where you do live? in the US 30 hours is the minimum. I hope they know their local law

It is neither.

We are already quite well practiced in handling and transporting liquified methane, which in only incrementally easier than LH2.

Rockets are lately designed for methane in large part so that concentrating Martian atmosphere for fuel will be more practical, but also for CO2's greater molecular mass, important in an earthly first stage launcher, which needs absolute thrust, to get moving in 1G, much more than efficiency.

As fuel, LH2 may find use mainly or even exclusively for aircraft, but it is exceedingly valuable as feedstock for other work, including ammonia and, yes, methane synthesis. Methane is itself feedstock for many other processes. Ideally these would not result in released CO2...

I was able to excel at CS in college because my parents shoved a DOS computer in front of me when I was 5 and challenged me with math and general problem solving at every opportunity. My whole childhood was basically debugging and critical thinking. If you didn't have that growing up, it's really hard to start learning the skills when you're 30.
"whether you're tiny, typical or tall."

I love the alliteration here in place of short, average, tall.

I think that's a cool thing to be proud of. I also wish we would kind of go in the opposite direction and find solutions that work well for most people while being simpler and having fewer moving parts, a la modern faucet design that handles both hot and cold with one handle.

Nice! Have you considered publishing your crawl data?
Right, inflation is based on consumption. So home prices going up is not inflation, as homes are considered investments. So when Bill Gates becomes the world's largest private farm-owner and buys a billion dollars worth of farmland, there's no inflation there, or is there?

Bill is in it for the short-term capital holding. He's going to do what he can to make as much money as he can, but if he thinks this is just a short-term flip, no need to build a full company around this, it's not worth it. He'll rent out what he can rent, find some sub-contractors to do what they can, and the harder to rent stuff just sits there.

That's the problem here. He's one man, with many responsibilities, hoarding over what might be 4000 different lots worth $250k. He just doesn't have the attention to deal with that. So while normal farmland owners will use everything they have, now we have a bunch of land empty, and that empty land is pushing the supply demand curve of all farmland over. And that's just one man doing a one percent hedge.

This same exact issue is happening in housing, and its happening at a scale much larger than a single billionaire. I bet there are thousands upon thousands of used cars just sitting in a field somewhere. There are legitimate business that need to ensure that they can get oil or steel or lumber or whatever else they need, and the futures markets are all insane because these investors know that the recession will hit before they need to buy, and everything else will drop in proportion to these commodities.
This is ridiculous. A game that has no online component has roughly zero maintenance burden. This is why, for example, the original Deus Ex is still one of the better ways to spend your time playing games on PC.

Network connectivity has brought along with it a certain level of toxicity around updates and maintenance and such. At the very least Apple could be shipping older runtimes, downloaded on demand similar to Steam Proton runtimes.

The Most Popular Node.js Frameworks in 2022
I think the simple term is "bad boy syndrome." Everyone knows bad boys are popular, and this could certainly lead to more sex. The phenomenon is demonstrated in countless books and films and well known to girls and gay guys.
It's harder to maintain the illusion of possible upward mobility.

Let's look at a typical scenario. You graduate from university with 100k in student loans. Let's say you get a fairly decently paid entry-level job paying 75k. Great, you might be able to pay down those loans in 10 years, if not more. And when you're finally ready to buy a house, the ones that haven't been converted to rentals are all costing 8 or 10 times your annual salary. So you're asking someone at 21 to hope that everything works out and they might get the American Dream in their late 30s. Assuming there's no intervening major crises.

Sure, there might be ways to slightly goose things, but they turn into terrible-quality-of-life stuff like "work 3 jobs", "live on rice and beans forever", or "constantly job-hop to seek out a higher salary." If these are your alternatives, maybe it doesn't seem so absurd to embrace stagnation.

I'm in my early 40s. I did everything "right" -- I got a full-ride to university, studied CS, and acquired 15 years experience. I work for a mid-sized fintech firm and draw just over 100k. It's full remote since long before Covid, I generally work about 40-42 hours a week, and the technology is both interesting and feels actually important. I still don't feel like buying a new house is affordable on my budget. (Here's where you say "I should have been job-hopping every two years and making 400k at a FAANG by now/chasing an exit at some kale-as-a-service startup").

My parents were able to buy a house in 1988 for about 4x their annual salary, where the "salary" came from a modest skilled-trade worker. If I were to buy a comparable house in the same basic middle-class suburb, I'm looking at 6x my salary. I'm lucky in that I can live with them, pay down their mortgage, and be able to live reasonably well. But I sure as hell don't feel light years better off than my parents were at 40.

I found it a very comprehensive dev tool. I still have the manual, having safely survived many moves!
"It will run just on just about any terminal on any OS" is an extremely tall claim and requires more than stating what's easy to imagine, in order to back it up. Xterm is not some kind of universal standard, it's a constructive definition.

I have a difficult time imagining what a test suite looks like that can exercise all the relevant test cases in, and correctly evaluate the output of, terminal emulators across all OSes. So to me, this statement probably means "we tried a few sample scripts in VMware at some point."

I changed a mix of dockerkiles, shells, configs and others things to a SINGLE nix file.

Is truly great.

About complains:

- Nix as "language": Is stupid, that is true. As any other stupid language on this space, name it: bash (TERRIBLE), docker, yamls, pseudo-TOMLs, etc. So is not that worse than the median. I wanna know what other real option is here, except use a language as python instead.

- Documentation: Is not lack of it, is how spread and badly stitcher together. is like docs made by JavaDoc. But I remember Docker at first, and I waste as much googling as with nix. Docker is not intuitive at all, and worse, it change per distro!

The actual thing is easy, and the best thing is just look at the code. Most of it is not that hard to figure than docker files, yamls, etc.

What was very confusing is the idea of how each config are done. Exist many things that are not "together" like setup NGINX also need to touch the firewall, then maybe systemd.

Is not different to deal with unix, that is a mess, is that at first you think all is "just work" by default.

More exactly: Not exist a clear convention that is applied everywhere. Lack of uniformity is the main trouble. Still, same as other tools in this space.

Also: Very hard to debug things.

Also 2: The hack around "home manager" to manage user config is a hack. Make not sense: I use too much time trying to do it "natively". Do it manually in *nix is so simple "just cat/touch this file in this path", so is the main reason I almost drop it.

The whole migration for me take 1 week. That is not that much than before the first time I doit with custom docker files (One of the companies I work for before I use 2 weeks making it. This was when alpine/small containers were not as common as today).

So, YMMV but the end-results is very nice.
You only notice the difference when holding a key for auto repeat, which I almost never do, much less with alphabet keys.

Some teams surely are also much like an extended family, no doubt, even if I like WFH now (and not just from now) at uni time I've always preferred spend time at the uni just for the social aspects I found there, but how many teams are like that, small and harmoniums enough? IME not near-zero surely, but still not that much in percentage (opinion of course, I have no real data, just too-small scale observation and casual interpolation on that).

Another point is made the environment aside: in a small/medium and spread city, with various amenities, people might like live there not just because it's near the office and once there it's a pleasure going outside. However for instance in my old big & dense city going outside was and still is definitively not a pleasure, too much traffic, pollution, noise, only the social aspect of having a big choice of people to be together instead of just accept some neighbors because there is no much choice in place is actually a pleasure, here now however I have nature around, with countless of activities, no traffic etc, so much of the issue of the city are not worth just the better social/service part. Surely, I'm not that rural, and cities are still just half an hour around...

There are many things shaping life so shaping work preferences though for what I've read here and there (different posts from different sources around the world) and my personal experience much more prefer WFH, at least those who have a voice, who know how to spread their feelings and ideas, witch left me a bit uncertain about how many prefer the office vs how many prefer living in a spread and vast Riviera, WFH... No doubt however about the abundance of advantages vs disadvantages in the short and potentially, with a bit of incertitude, in the mean/long run.

The dream of a less dense society where moving by flying cars is normal as now moving with actual road cars, so a society where a vast riviera is also a dense city since anything is few minutes of fly away is the dream. Potentially can be real in tech terms, but I do not know if / when it will ever be in reality, nor I know how many time, issues etc we will see before having experimented WFH enough to have a new paradigm working and tested enough to made general comparisons.
This used to be true, but hasn't mattered for a long time.
The reserve requirement is zero for most (all?) US banks.

> For all the talk about minimum wage jobs, only around 1% of jobs actually pay federal minimum wage.

I see this stat a lot and it leaves me wondering how many people are within, say, 50 cents or 5%[0] of minimum wage. The percent of workers earning minimum wage doesn't seem that useful (and I guess neither would the figures returned for my request).

In any case I'd find hours required to live alone within ~30 minutes of work a more compelling statistic. It adjusts for CoL and represents a reasonable lifestyle to shoot for.

If Facebook started charging $1,000/hour to use, all these entities (including government offices... for me, it's not about my family at all) that have de facto chosen to conduct all their public-facing business on Facebook over the past few years would reverse course, and then we really could ditch our accounts with no problem.

Unlike eucalypts in Australia, in California and Hawai'i nothing eats them. Tasmanian bluegum is the most common eucalypt in that range [0]. Therefore a) they grow very rapidly, and b) are useless as structural or furniture woods. The Berkeley Hills "Tunnel" fire of 1991 [1] was driven in large measure by the presence of eucalypts. In much of northern California today, eucalypts are seen as large flammable weeds.

I suspect that there's a fundamental conflict in semantics somewhere between drive and posix filesystems. Any sort of filesystem wrapper on top of drive would immediately require making annoying compromises, and the trade-off is convenience vs. data safety.

Targeting a locked down OS like Windows or Mac isn't too difficult, because those compromises can be carefully implemented in a way that avoids accidental data corruption but doesn't negatively impact user workflow too much. On a Linux system, there's hundreds if not thousands of configurations that folk would expect a filesystem to work in, and so it's a lot more difficult to strike that balance.

Years ago, I remember a coworker dragged a directory around on his MacBook, and it completely flattened the company's entire drive directory structure.
You should write that up somewhere. Maybe even here.
I just want to point out that this attitude is actually strictly rational.

Suppose you have a credit card that is not yet at its limit, and you are not accumulating late fees... you can buy a $200 TV in exchange for paying $5/mo in perpetuity, at a 30% APR. Interest rates connect the indefinite future back to the past and in fact they set an equivalent time horizon. So you can phrase the exact problem as asking what cancelling an unused $5/mo Netflix account is really worth to you, and the answer is again $200. The indefinite future of payments is just 1/r, a conversion factor of 40 months in this case.

If you are getting into late fees those can triple interest or so, you might have a time horizon only a year off. Or if you are into payday loans and 400%/year interest, the indefinite future is literally only 3 months away, you cannot rationally “think past tomorrow.” At 30%/year your rational time horizon is a little over 3 years. If you then have debt paid back and a retirement account in an S&P index fund and we call that 10% year on year, your indefinite future is 10 years away.

“People are willing to save and/or hustle for 5-10 years” indeed, 5-10 years is financial eternity for most people!
