Not only that, but having a camera with you at all times is fantastic. Besides the typical selfies with friends and random shots, it's a way to capture some proof that you gave someone money, or that your car was hit from the side. Then there's the ability to take notes without worrying about losing a pen and paper. Basically, it's a "digital recording device" that we've taken for granted.
> Sometimes, we can talk about the difficult philosophy behind it all, and probably wont come up with concrete solutions in the process, but it might be a worth while thought exercise.

The term you're looking for here is Free Will or Determinism, in respect to the State. Different folks have different views on these. Your views seem to place a large weight on Determinism. I personally think Determinism in the State is a philosophical dead end based on the evidence of the last century.
>sometimes the hobbyist mindset wins.

In this case, you’re absolutely right. Had they just sat on it they wouldn’t have the losses they do today, furthering the panic selling.
Where did you find these remote positions?
Alternatives are getting more expensive too.

Orange Pi Zero went from $7 three years ago to $25 now, that's from official store.
I’m currently on vacation and the hotel breakfast buffet has a gluten free bread option. Granted, it’s prepackaged toast, but I’d say it’s better than hungry.
Thanks for sharing. Seriously.
Have you heard of facebook marketplace, esty, shopify? EBay doesn't have the monopoly it once did.

People go to court for murder yes but they also go for smaller things like a neighbour's tree causing property damage. The cost are different.

Companies that force users to give up the ability to sue need to provide an alt system.

"Rather 10 criminals who go free, than one innocent person behind bars"

This is not how things work outside of tv and talk radio. 1/3 of people in jail are innocent. Cops being sure doesn't make a fact true. Everyone has different priorities and cops are extremely good at jumping to simple answers because this is in their collective interest.
value = value[0] if value else None
That, of course, is ultimately extremely defeatist compared to the ideals that the USA claims (the practice and history, on the other hand, would be another discussion).

One of the things the right wing (especially the religious right) in the US does far better than any other groups is to claim lofty egalitarian or noble-minded principals while not applying them to themselves.

But if we throw that out, and want to embrace the cynicism, why lean to "let's just anoint the rich" over "let's more aggressively limit them"?

After all, we know disruption and innovation rarely comes from big incumbents. Tax the shit out of them and turn that into funding and options for the rest.

EDIT: there's a good tie-in there, actually - make it legible, that makes it easier to regulate and tax! ... Except I'm struggling to see why the elites would actually want that if it's not about formalizing and ENHANCING their power. So that seems like the real motive, here.
I'll provide counter example

I didn't use smartphone till very late 2021

now I enjoy going for 1-2h walks waaay more cuz I can just listen to music and disconnect myself from the people around and focus on thinking about various stuff

Sure sitting at train and thinking about your life instead of spamming on HN is likely a good thing, but sometimes it's just awkward - depends who you sit with
I’ve heard tales in my state it is “required” but only ever seen people slapped with that charge when the cops weren’t quite able to pin the original charges they’d pulled them over for.
I worked for a company that embraced remote, distributed work long before COVID.

WFH doesn’t automatically lead to outsourcing, but it does move it a lot closer. Once the company dynamic has shifted to all communications and interactions being online, it’s very easy to add someone from a different country as long as the time zones aren’t too far apart and the logistics of employing and paying them aren’t too onerous for HR.

The company I worked for eventually did ramp up foreign hiring and perform layoffs in the US. It was just too to hard to ignore the fact that they could hire 2-3 engineers in foreign countries for the same price as a single engineer in the US in many cases. Or, as they discovered, they could pay 75% of US engineer wages and still be giving someone in a foreign country top-1% compensation for their country. This made for ecstatic, hardworking, loyal foreign employees. It’s hard to ignore situations where you’re paying less and getting more.

It didn’t mean that everyone in the US was laid off, though. Certain talents and specialties were still easier to find here than in foreign countries.

However, I think a lot of people are in denial about how much remote work is setting the stage for a flattening of global engineering compensation. Engineers in lower comp areas will see their salaries rise as they get access to more opportunities. Engineers in higher compensation areas are going to see downward pressure on salaries as they compete on a global stage. The exception will continue to be engineers with the most in-demand skills, who were likely already competing on a global stage.
I spent a week in Denver and boulder and continuously got the eerie vibe that every person I met who moved there, is an example of the most self centered person I would have met in any other situation elsewhere. I suppose the type of young person who’d move to CO “for the outdoors” is gonna select for the trend. Everything, including the assholish cycling, was indicative of that. Noped out of that place for this reason.
FancyZones seems to forget currently selected layout every time it is updated and every time a new Windows developer preview is installed. Other than that, it should be exactly as you left it.
Your analysis is idealistic and based on the false premise that your value is properly recognised.

Your manager (or a company) will often mismeasure your value. And I can think of plenty of valid reasons you might need to sack even good “partner level” employees. Anecdotally I have seen lots of companies misvalue key profitability employees, and losing them. Or companies sacking valuable key employees.

There are also “D-player” in your scheme: low level negative productivity employees. Often well meaning but overall they will cause costs (even beyond their overhead) and never learn or improve.

And then there are the “player player”s: employees that cost the company large amounts, usually at the higher levels of the company. Often camouflaged as a partner, or A player. Sometimes very productive in one area, with the costs born in another e.g. risks.

Edit: The other problem with your taxonomy, is that it implicitly presumes that people know their value. Too many people undervalue themselves: they are deeply profitable for a business but they are unaware of it. The worse case is when you think you a playing at partner/A level, but actually you are deluding yourself or ignorant of your other costs or ignorant of other company issues, and then you are perplexed when a company values you correctly and lets you go.
> Using authority to take power over their own children away from parents isn't something I'm sure I'm onboard with.

Just in case you have not noticed, we do that nowadays, to combat child abuse. Giving parents 100% unrestricted power over their children would enable horrific child abuse, selling your children for slavery etc ... Funny how casually it can be suggested.

The answer lies in the middle, as the parent post suggested :)
Looks great, would love to build one too
Job market is hot, but the great race for comp seems to have died down. Big tech is still offering good money.

Things will probably swing if/when the next great tech co IPOs successfully. Eyes on stripe, bricks etc.
What happens if your American passport expires, can you fly on whatever foreign one you have only?

As long as you don't fly to the US. US citizens need a valid US passport to enter the US, even if they also have another passport[1]. Entering the US is literally the only thing I use my US passport for and the only reason I get it renewed.

[1] I guess you can try to lie on your visa/ESTA application and hope they don't notice, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Hey, for a fair comparison with pinboard you should check out our personal pricing plans, https://www.tefter.io/personal which start from $9/year. The 39$/month you mentioned is for team workspaces of unlimited members.
It's a silly little topic but such relatively low stakes geeky discussion are definitely fun on a quiet HN Sunday (as I work to setup a new NAS unit as it happens), glad you found it interesting and a fun thing to contemplate a bit myself. I've believed in more local capabilities for various reasons (not least being in a rural area with crap internet promotes more on your own LAN), long before I heard the "homelab" term. I'm not on any of the sites that use it myself, but it didn't strike me as odd when I first encountered it either.

>Calling any desk that has a computer, tools and a few RasPis belonging to someone who is comfortable writing code a Homelab? Still icky.

Everyone starts somewhere! You can do a great deal with not much which is one of the magic things about tech these days. A few tools and RPis could be more power in some respects than state of the art facilities a couple decades ago. I think it's the spirit as much as anything, whether someone is digging and experimenting. And really don't forget our bubbles, for most people having a single RPi at all, let alone one dedicated to messing around with vs serving a specific purpose, would be unusual. And then if the bug bites them and they want to start going further, what term should be the umbrella under which they head down the 'ol rabbit hole? "Homelab" seems pretty on-point and innocuous?

>I’m going to finish up in my Plantlab, spend time in my Exerciselab and then go make a sandwich in my Calorielab.

Well, if you're actually breeding brand new experimental plants, inventing new exercises or probing the limits of your body with cutting edge bio monitoring/hacking, or spending lots of time coming up with new recipes then no matter how small scale by all means call those all $Xlabs! But by this terminology I think you might be more correct calling them your Selffarm, Selfgym, and Selfrestaurant if you're mostly using them to perform routines you're already practiced at and are interesting primarily in results... :p
Equalized outcomes are a pipe dream. The more equal the outcome, the more bickering there will be over perceived slights from minor differences.
Still very hot. What makes you feel things are “tightening” up?
Lol - “move quickly”

Tangentially - I’m always astonished at the lack of self-awareness of many municipal/utility service providers - they pretend like I’ve sought out their service and WANT to engage with them, when in fact I just want them to provide me the thing I need (or am obligated to do) with as little hassle as possible…
Not the original poster, but my main problem install Dendron as a vacode plugin was sometimes my Dendron directory wasn't "Dendron", and sometimed Dendron seemed to load and do things when in directoris of unrelated markdown.

I never did figure out what was going wrong, but I moved to Obsidian mainly so I had a clear separate note keeping app.
I agree, and I would hardly call this 'a steal' as the article says.

But, for many people an Arduino is black magic even if they're quite skilled at programming. I know some of them. I can imagine this would appeal to those people.

I'm personally more into electronics too, kind of goes with growing up in the 80s when computers and electronics were just inextricably connected.
They are too competitive and my odds of getting in one are slim to none ._.
Anyone who mentioned this back in '45 in the Anglosphere would have been immediately dismissed as a crank, and if they had any hard evidence, there would probably be treason/demoralization charges headed their way.

Sigh.

That means he "happens to have a number of bits of equipment for messing around with video," he said.

This is an important line. It was done this way because they had the equipment on hand, not that they think it's a good solution for anyone else. The bit about replicating their setup is just the author being dumb. You could do this with fifty bucks in capture and output equipment.
People assume this is a bad outcome, but in a society where "being true to one's authentic self" is promoted as the main virtue, one would be expected to embrace selfish behaviors if they reflect. It's a low-brow blending of Nietzsche and Rand, but marketed as proto-communist mysticism. Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what the world owes you!
There are different use cases that demand different tools. For personal projects the simpler tools from before were totally fine but now they are longer accessible. I think that's a loss.
anonymous mastercard is an oxymoron
If we connect the dots, it seems you're suggesting that raising children with different values, values that may not set them up for optimal economic outcomes, constitutes child abuse and should be actioned as such. I disagree. This was also the case made by the residential school system, just by the way.

Child abuse is pretty well bounded and defined. Ranking of cultural values is certainly not.
You, sir, just blew my mind. I have some reading material to go through. This is fascinating indeed!!
My grandparents don’t wish things back to the good ole days. It’s possible to have balance.
I don’t really get why this is evidence when it’s just asking an ethics question and having people “let their mind wander”. The context they mention is extremely important.

Practicing mindfulness is not just letting your mind wander. It’s practice, just like exercising or coding. You get better at it with time, not just a Homer Simpson moment of following your thoughts after being asked a question about being a decent human being.

The whole idea of mindfulness is to get to know yourself better and work on the not so great parts such as when your ego gets involved. If you practice it today and have found tremendous results, great! Also if you tried it and it didn’t help much, that’s okay too.

I’ll continue to do it because it’s what I believe separates good from great in my life and helps me accomplish more. I’m glad they mentioned this:

> “The effects are much weaker than had been proposed.” Like Hafenbrack, he suspects the practice can still be useful – but whether you see the desired benefits may depend on many factors, including the meditators’ personality, motivation and beliefs, he says. “Context is really important.”
Yes, and I'm looking forward to blue, and have used nero as well before I knew blue existed.
Like the idea of black, and implementation, but its "taste" unfortunately leaves a bit to be desired.

Pushing extra spaces into slices is another one I don't care for.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm.

Seems like an unfair standard to hold for these people over any other people.

Very few people are equipped to handle crazy people on the street, even among people who are trying to become better people, whatever that may mean to them.

You yourself attended the seminar on "loving-kindness" but couldn't resist dunking on these people some time later. But the thing is that I don't consider that inconsistent just because you were trying to improve yourself.

Even if the seminar were about helping crazy people that were standing in front of self-help seminars, it's still an unfair standard.
I've had 3 fully remote positions in my career so far and I found them in the following ways:

1) filtering listings on AngelList ---> the job before last

2) searching "remote" on the "Who is Hiring?" threads here of HN ---> my last job

3) looking at the job listing page of companies whose work interests me who I've heard have remote-friendly or -only cultures ---> my current job and most of the places I'm currently applying
It's not like the West doesn't have its own meditative and contemplative traditions. The Cynics and Stoics of the Classical world could have very diverse attitudes to wealth and material comforts, with the former being quite more disdainful of them and quite literally "living like dogs". We see the same thing in Western ascetic monasticism later on - some Western monks and nuns focus on helping others and doing their assigned duty in society, while others pursue a more focused spiritual and contemplative path.
Yeah, the Ars Technica article makes it clear that this is a temporary use of hardware they already had on hand, and the $10k is just an estimate of what it would cost to buy this vintage hardware online today.

Gosh.
I agree with you fully - it was hard to understand Kafka (as a student) until presented with half a life of examples from society.
This story is about teenagers who haven’t even had the chance to touch adulthood or freedom. They have bright futures. These are not people with the full context of life who are able to make a sincere decision about whether they want to live. I once was in a similar situation in college and through therapy worked on my issues and now am very happy I’ve been alive - my best days were after the hard ones - and I’m willing to bet a lot of the HN audience has similar experiences
I think phones calls still serve as infrastructure of last resort.
It’s main downside is also it’s benefit, the pressure for immediate interactive response and attention.

It’s preferred to call a restaurant to see if they have the wallet or card you lost. Your flight got canceled? Best call to get the quickest list of other flight options. Typing while driving is right out, but calling is not, even if a voice call is arguably still distracting.

Whenever someone talks about mindfulness or stoicism, the name that pops to my head is Tim Ferris. Like a less crappier Joe Rogan with an actual brain maybe? I still listen to some of his podcast episodes because he gets guests who I want to learn about. But oh my god the narcissism! I get it the podcast is about success and how to succeed, but for the love of god try to take your head out of your own ass for a minute? I’ve listened to tens of hours if not hundreds and haven’t ever heard him talk about a single act of kindness or help he or his guests have ever done to strangers.

You know what he’ll bring up every day? Mindfulness or meditation or stoicism. Like buddy, if you can’t sleep it’s probably because you know you’re not a nice person deep down. No amount of meditation is gonna help that.
Management is aligned because this makes money. Programmers do deserve $100/hr for what they do, the problem is whether it's what's needed. It's the same situation with tax software. You never needed one before but the parasitic co-evolution of tax software and tax complexity pushing each other means now you need to pay and Intuit can be a blood sucker year after year.

Unless your day-to-day is so extraordinary that you don't have any kind of routine, it seems that you are using the exceptional cases to justify the rule?
This was my thought - opportunities are limited. So if you are talking about equality of outcome and one group is over-represented, you are talking about policies that hurt their group. The most obvious example being that you have to hurt Asians if you want to change demographics at Harvard. There are only so many slots open.
This is "built into" PowerToys Run. In fact, at the beginning that was all it could do.

It's now been moved into a bundled plugin named after the original app that was morphed into this: WindowWalker. I don't remember what the special character you have to type to target the plugin is because I made my installation of PowerToys Run use that plugin by default without a prefix and I disabled all the other plugins.

Trust me, there are also plenty millennials, gen-x and boomers hooked on the internet and their phones as well. Plenty.
That’s just an uninsured simulator. People in poverty could still have insurance if they are paying for it. Low levels of routine spending can get stressful.
Because you want to track individuals, and to do that, you need consent, probably acquired by a popup of some sort.
This happens even at large zen monasteries. Truth is, Buddhism has no mechanism for distinguishing between mental illness and the usual suffering all samsaric beings experience. Therefore, Buddhist teachers cannot deal with mental health emergencies: all mental suffering is seen through the Buddhist lens
"de facto" is used as an antonym of "de jure". Travel to Cuba is controlled by 31 C.F.R 515.560. It is controlled by statue, therefore it is "de jure".
Well - how many of them did you need to help you?

Something like this occurred at my buddhist temple during a meditation, except it was one of the members who collapsed. Someone went over help and the rest of us... couldn't do anything more. An ambulance was called. they got medical treatment.

Should we have collectively wrung our hands? To what end?

The point here isn't averting your eyes in the face of suffering, it's about correctly judging the situation and taking only effective action. Collectively performing impotent empathy isn't any more useful to the ailing person than quietly sitting and sending them prayers/lovingkindness/whatever.
Even a little research would show that Google is far more sophisticated than that in tuning its search engine.

I would try to disassociate my work income from my personal worth as a worker. We always leave some money on the table, but can always do all the steps we can to reduce how much we are leaving on it.

In case I have an offer that I'm actually happy with, personally I'm the opposite. I already reached my expected range, failing to negotiate for more doesn't worry me so I can do it more confidently, which may kind of help me in a way. Don't ask for too little tho, they may notice they can get you less than what you are asking by holding firm.
This is why you put it in silent mode and check every couple hours. That has been my compromise on the issue.
There is still use for that if the asset you deposit is:
