Well, the Japanese yen being 10% cheaper against the US dollar since the beginning of the year would make it even more tempting for tourists to visit.

Even in 2019 they received a record high amount of American tourists because of their currency getting cheaper, so it would be similar once they let people in again.
I suspect that the metric for more white people working there stems from the demographics of the SF Bay area where Apple is located.

Whether it's correct or not is a separate question.
> So stop putting them under a lot of pressure. The second tip hints at this, but it only seems to be a reactionary measure. Maybe all this goalsetting, OKRs and such is exactly the problem with the industry, always having to feel pressured to an extreme by metrics and stats which effectively mean nothing, when most people just want to put in an honest day's work and progress.

Yeah I wish you'd at least be given a chance to be responsible about delivering, and not always crack the whip by default, there's just no way you can ever have a healthy working environment.
> I talked with my nephew about this, since I noticed he and his friends never really have sleepovers and such like our generation did, and he cited this very reason. His friends are more fun to be around in a Discord call than in person.

To each their own, I suppose, but I find this unhealthy. I would encourage my child to be interactive in person, not to hide behind the computer. I say this as a WFH IT employee who games - the desire to be away from people in person, the desire not to interact with others, the disdain for in-person contact, are all symptoms of a problem in my view.

I don't mean it to say I think less of people who are like this, or that they are worthy of derision. I simply think it is bad for the individual and the community.

There's got to be more to this than what's in the article. Does anyone have more information about what's going on? The article briefly mentions connections to gold mines and politicians as possible aggravating factors, but some of it seems so petty, like this:

How do you tell the difference between an error and a trading strategy?
I've heard of that rule before (explained to me in the exact same way you explained by one of my previous doctors), and it definitely worked in a similar way for me in the past too. But for the past few years, my process has been much easier and simpler.

My insurance provider (Premera) has their own mail order pharmacy (called Express Scripts[0]; technically independent, but Premera officially partnered with them), so i dont have to go at all. My doctor writes a prescription, sends it directly to the insurance, opting for the mail pharmacy option checkbox, and I get my meds in the mailbox. They arrive all at once, with a single pill bottle containing 90 days worth of medication.

Just in case it varies by state, that's how it works for me in WA.

In my opinion, social media like Facebook and Twitter were (mostly) fine before commercial interests killed them.

There are plenty of reasons to connect with a group of people and have asynchronous communication. In many ways, current messaging groups are a poor replacement of early facebook and twitter.

Where it went wrong was, in the case of facebook, the lack of control over the visibility of updates, and for both facebook and twitter, the lack of control on how to filter and sort updates.

Over time, the initial concept of people who have something to say, watered down to liking or forwarding other people's updates.

Topic-oriented discussion is great. But there is also a need to connect to a small group of people that just want to talk about random subjects that come up in everyday life.
I'm pretty pro wfh, but for a lot of people (myself included), the value of a slack conversation is less than a in-person conversation, so as a recipient I'm less likely to make time for it. That doesn't reflect on the worth I put on the person, but rather the type of communication.

I really like buttondown, but I stopped using it. The main issue was that mail would go into spam more often than other newsletter providers (I checked this against substack, mailchimp, revue, and tinyletter).

Any reason why buttondown in particular would be more affected by this? Or maybe it's just me.
I could never say part 3 doesn't have atmosphere. The music, the art, the overall feel was different, but great on it's own.

On the other hand, the story, and the subtle humor from 1 and 2 was lacking or different.
Well, you can have both, don't see why that should be a bad thing.

A woman should have full control over her body, this decision is counter-productive.

In my view USA is making a turn for the worse and setting out on a very dark path.
Because I like interesting problems. Sometimes that's programing. Sometimes that's being at the roundtable of decision-making for the business. But either of those things get boring and tedious when you reach a certain scale; when management starts to grow.

Sure, but just because nation states can hack you doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and give up on keeping your data as secure as possible. There are non-state actors who would love to get their hands on your data for profit.
> As I’ve moved into larger companies and am shackled by OKRs

Try moving into a large company _without_ OKRs. How much redundancy do you need to buy to achieve your service reliability goals? Well, you can decide on any goal you want but management now has the right to declare the decision wrong post-hoc:

Got an outage? Should have spent more
Didn't have an outage? Why are we wasting all this money?

And of course, by avoiding any public commitment like an OKR, they are somehow absolved of accountability in the matter.

I'm willing to accept that most of that traffic is people who can't work from home.

That being said, I really do miss the traffic from those first few weeks of the pandemic, when I could get from Cupertino to the airport in 12 minutes at 6pm (a drive that now takes about 25 minutes, and pre-pandemic took 45+).
My understanding is that the paravirtualization provided by Xen is an effective control. The guest shouldn’t have direct access to the hardware device io right?

What is the alternative? If you don’t use a VM you have to expose dom0 directly to device io.

EDIT: ah I see we’re talking about a Linux phone! I agree with your point I’m not sure mobile devices have the resources to isolate every component into a VM. Overkill indeed!
What I dislike is how some in the community hijacked the idea that unsafe code blocks are for possible memory corruption code, as introduced in Algol languages since the late 1950's, and now everything that consider might be error prone is an "unsafe" API.
It's despicable that you equate "neuro-normative" with "racist".
In general you're already contending with correction algorithms any time you use a digital camera, so that's not as big of a problem as you might think.

Even if you shoot in "raw" there's probably a proprietary or pseudo-proprietary bit of software in your image editor that runs demosaicing, lens correction etc on the data from the camera sensor.
>there's broad agreement on the main parts of it

>This is not remotely true with respect to macroeconomics.

Macroeconomists agree largely on most econ topics. Probably anything you'll find in undergrad (and most grad) macro textbooks the majority will agree on.

As evidence, here's [1] a useful site with polls dating back a decade of ~100 of the world's leading economists. Even on these hard questions you'll find they tend to agree quite well. They agree even more on topics not as near the fringe as these questions.

I'm a remote work advocate.

> Can anyone honestly and sincerely tell me that online whiteboards are exactly equivalent to in-person whiteboard sessions?

Of course it's not an exact equivalent, but it doesn't need to be. Anecdotally speaking, the number of whiteboard meetings I had that I wanted to have were about 1 per year. Remote workers use tools like Notion, Miro, Jetbrains Code With me which have many/more of the advantages of a whiteboard.

> There is no value in having lunches together with your colleagues?

This one is company specific, but I don't need to be in the office to go to lunch with my colleagues. In my last office job, I had lunch with 2-3 colleagues maybe twice a week. In my current all remote job, I meet my colleagues once every other week for lunch, and I _still_ meet my previous job colleagues for lunch once a week or so.

> There is no value in body-language when communicating?

Honestly in a business setting with "trusted" coworkers, less so. I tend to take what my colleagues say at face value. With remote work, webcams do a reasonable job of picking up the "I'mn really uncomfortable with something you've just said" and "holy crap they've hit it out of the park". Again, in previous office job, a non-trivial amount of communication _in_ meetings happened in private slack groups that were messaging during the meeting - that still happens today. The big advantage now is that people who would have been steamrolled in meetings have a chance to get their thoughts heard, as most remote teams tend to practice async communciation practices (which are not required but are often combined with remote work)
OC's point is that the data was _already_ being used for other less palatable uses.
We had a whole civil war and enacted several amendments to address the unique situation of a majority in a state enslaving or discriminating against a discrete minority.

That has nothing to do with a majority of people imposing restrictions on themselves. 59% of people in Mississippi oppose abortion, including the majority of women. There is no need for California or New York to parachute in and tell them otherwise.
Its good enough in user experience and storage, in fact far superior to Monero’s experience. When a user then wants fungibility the one time they want the state’s money and financial institution then they use Monero as a conduit.
People being that reliant on turn by turn navigation is not just sad, it's also quite dangerous. Any time the navigation app's instructions are wrong, unclear or simply a bit too late, it is quite likely to cause that kind of driver to make a sudden and unsafe maneuver. Having a general familiarity with your planned route and its surroundings before you put the car in gear goes a long way toward preventing those panicked reactions.
Computers as a whole seem so boring nowadays. I get that we all have supercomputers in our pockets, and it should be amazing, but it's just dull.
Exactly! We need real privacy legislation, with consent framed similarly to the EU's GDPR. Without some type of general reform, every little bit of outrage about how our personal information is being abused is just a surface distraction.

Furthermore with regards to the misleading headline, apart from a few counties in California there were no "lockdown orders" in the US. There were closed businesses [0], and there were suggestions that individuals stay home. There were no widespread orders with the force of law telling individuals that they must stay in their homes.

[0] who I feel for, especially when things like small hardware stores had to shut down while Home Depot could remain open.
Based on the places where they were putting their threats I doubt mining was their goal. It sounds more that they were spelunking in case they wanted to ransomware and/or just wanting the information in a straightforward way. I wonder if also they were just using these servers as a foothold to attack something else. If you are mixing your traffic among an org's business presence it would be difficult to chase as a hop.
This isn't about fearmongering, it is about consistent application of the principle. If the legal principle of privacy and autonomy doesn't apply in Roe, then its reasonable to conclude that it doesn't apply for marriage equality either.

The question is, is it reasonable that we should allow one's right to privacy and autonomy to only exist in some states? And if so, then this principle could apply to more than just abortion. Yes, reimplementing a ban on interracial marriage in any state seems completely unreasonable now, but so did banning abortion a decade ago. Things change. A senator just recently stated that anti-interracial marriage laws should not have been struck down by the courts [1]

Interracial marriage is brought up for multiple reasons:

- To demonstrate that the roll-back of constitutionally protected rights to individual privacy and autonomy have negative unintended consequences

- To demonstrate that some who are opposed to constitutionally-protected privacy apply the principle inconsistently (usually contingent on whether it meshes with their personal/religious views)

- To demonstrate that those who do support this rollback consistently are willing to let gay and interracial couples be collateral damage in the pursuit of their ideological goals

I've not used Resolve but I've tried pretty much all Linux NLEs. Here are some questions arising from my workflow:

How about resource file support for non-standard (as in TV/cinema) parameters, such as video framerate, video resolution, video formats? How about integrating these into the timeline, including per-clip pan/zoom?

Have you used Vegas Pro (for Windows)? I feel like no Linux NLE is able to replicate the flexibility Vegas Pro allows you in treating each clip as an independent, resizable, transformable asset. Instead, many NLEs enforce an "all clips must keep the same parameters as the project file" rule, where e.g. you can't incorporate a 60FPS file into a 50FPS project.

One thing as a manager I was passionate about was monitoring the team stress. Some team members work better under pressure, others don't and it's a balancing act. For instance, I've had co-workers that need the constant pressure to accomplish their goals and they can go on like that for years. The act of accomplishing something is worth the stress.

Personally, I don't really get burned out. I have limitations on hours I can work, but happily work 80 hrs a week. I work 6 days a week, sleep 6 hrs a night, and effectively have two full-time jobs. If for some reason the stress lets up, I just pick up more work.

One of the things I've enjoyed recently is https://www.read.ai/ it lets you track interactions between co-workers. As I'm fully remote and often in meetings. When I see someone start getting stressed to the point it negatively impacts interactions we can talk it out, do a "game day", etc to improve the situation.

Anyway, I think it's important to note that "preventing burnout" is extremely relative and most people handle it wildly differently.
I hear you and see you. Fully remote sounds like a boon to you!
Not that I think this is a solution for everyone but my personal experience is VR can provide many of these things. It's surprising how much body language comes across just from seeing head tracking in a shared environment and facial expressions are likely shipping this year.

Also, unlike Meet/Zoom, in VR you share everyone's screens at the same time (show a virtual monitor/laptop for each persion, have multiple shared whiteboards, have different people virtually standing in front of different whiteboards, etc....
> The burden of proof is on Onyx, and not some random commenter who mentioned that there's no proof that they're GPL compliant.

I agree with you that Onyx is likely in violation of the GPL. That said, the way I'm used to things is; the person who alleges a crime is committed is the one that has to show evidence. Onyx doesn't have to prove they're innocent. The prosecution has to prove they're guilty.

So if we want to see Onyx punished, then we need to find someone who owns an Onyx that has asked Onyx to comply with the GPL and provide source, and showing that they refused to do so. At that point, they would immediately be non-compliant and thus susceptible to many injunctions, meaning their products could be stopped at the border. Pretty sure they'd pay attention to that.
Yea came here to say the same thing -- you can just imagine the executive level conversations.. "the company is really struggling, and here are these bozo's sitting at home enjoying their life while I am stressed out in this board room... we need to be all rowing the boat in the same direction, and the only way I can see us doing that is by seeing everybody else stressed out along with me at the office..." so yea.. unless the management is also work from home, you can pretty much guess that a recession will cause a whole bunch of "well, when we said work from home forever, we meant like, ya know while the company was running fine.."
Coddling social anxiety is not a good argument for WFH. There's a difference between introversion (needing time away from people to recharge) and social anxiety (not speaking up or interacting differently in person vs online). Unless you're banking on some cyberpunk future where people only ever interact online, social anxiety is a maladaptive disorder to be confronted, not a personality quirk.

And FYI there are plenty of extroverted engineers. Some of us actually enjoy team sports as well as technical problems.
My current job has pretty low standards for maps in reports, and unfortunately QGIS has a dealbreaker issue: I'd like to just import a basemap, display my data on top, and then export as an image; however, in QGIS the resolution of the basemap scales with the resolution of the export. So, for example, if you want a 300 dpi image, all the city and and street labels (from the basemap) will be microscopic. It's baffling that the software does this, and as a result I have to use ArcMap for these simple maps.
This makes their policy even more baffling. You're basically getting the worst of both worlds, you still have the commute and all the BS around working in person, yet once you get there it's essentially remote work.
