Why not? I feel the same as the parent poster.

No forced commute, no stress positions in crap office furniture and the resulting daily back pain, no forced cheap hardware, no forced interruptions and conversations I have to compensate with longer work hours, no forced socialization with people I’d never choose to socialize with, no crap $20 lunches paying for the insane rents of the food places instead for quality products.

Please, do go back to the office yourself but don’t force others.

Having 10+ hours of additional personal time per week, working on much better hardware while playing my favorite music, eating quality food I cook myself and using the extra time to socialize with people I choose is worth finding another job if needed.

We just collectively proved the hypothesis that we don’t need to be in an office in order to be productive and that remote work is 20-30% more productive measuring the output of my department.

We have known this for a long time but companies were in denial and pushing strawmen.

But now we know.

So, forcing a much more painful experience and lower quality of life despite it being less profitable is insulting and clearly not about for everyone’s well being.
There's a difference between good faith and inventing things the person hasn't said. They said they knew the store owner. They did not say the store owner agreed to care for their child who was too young to be out on their own, legally. Good faith does not require me to make up facts that haven't been said to make their argument stronger. If they had a child care agreement with a store owner, that would be a whole different kettle of fish. But you and I both know that was never the case - they just sent their child who is too young to be out on their own to be someone else's problem, because that person owns a store, and 'they know them'.
> When in the last five years have you had difficulty [snip]

When until 2008 did anyone have problems with their holdings in Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers stocks?

Things are OK right up until they aren't any more. Afterwards this can seem (painfully) obvious. Beforehand, less so.
> Those returns were funded by other people's losses.

This may be true depending on what (which cryptocurrency and what time frame) you’re talking about. But it can also be true for other cases that the returns were funded by easy money created by central banks that were deployed to chase higher returns (hence the stock market bubble and the cryptocurrency bubbles).
Website says requires Bluetooth 5.1 but macOS only supports Bluetooth 5, right?

Intel's chip is more powerful than M1 on an older process node. So where is the design gap?
Maybe this post was given a second chance?? Not sure
I don't know about sports betting, that seems crazy, but I did know some people who partially bootstrapped their HFT startup by playing online poker at what would eventually become a trading desk once they finished building out their software stack. The few times I visited there was always one of the founders playing ~a dozen online poker games, one table per monitor. AIUI it kept the lights on in those early days for them.
> "Worse yet, when they go to France... the French will refuse to talk to them in french and default to English with them."

That's fascinating, so they pick up that it's Québécois French and then decide to do that? Is there something in particular that makes them look down on people from Quebec or Québécois French?

I lived in France for a while, and didn't experience very many people wanting to speak English with me since my French was pretty good, though I have a very thick anglophone accent (I'm American, but they always assumed I was British for some reason). Usually my experience has been that most French people don't want to speak anything other than French unless they are purposefully wanting to practice their English with someone (and not speaking any French and trying to beg people to communicate with you in English is a great way to make people instantly annoyed with you). The fact they would do the opposite with people that speak a slightly different variant of French is really surprising.

I don't know anything about the Canadian constitution, but I would find it surprising if this passed judicial review, forcing doctors to communicate with patients in a language they don't know is asking for terrible medical outcomes. Potentially having a dead patient because they couldn't effectively communicate with them (like a drug allergy for example) to preserve cultural purity does not seem "reasonable" nor "can be justified in a free and democratic society", according to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However, with how much other democratic norms and rights are backsliding all over the place it also wouldn't be surprising if this was upheld somehow.

Not in the US. In the US the author of the work gets copyright unless it is a "work made for hire".

A work made for hire is either:

1. a work prepared by an employee within the scope of their employment, or

2. a work specially ordered or commissioned for use in one of 9 particular ways [1] and the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire.

The copyright office has a good explanation here: https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf

[1] The 9 are contribution to a collective work, part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, a translation, a supplementary work, a compilation, an instructional text, a test, answer material for a test, and an atlas.
Xwayland has a lot of bugs with transparent always-on-top windows.

You'll get weird stuff like the 'click''s that are supposed to go through it will in fact go through multiple windows down to the next xwayland app, bypassing whichever native gtk app they should have interacted with.
So then install Android-x86 on your laptop. Use it for a bit, verify the mic fails.

Call them up and tell them that you're performing a hardware compatibility evaluation to the same standard of due-diligence that would be used ahead-of-time in any competent enterprise-scale hardware accessory rollout - and that a prerequisite step in this process is to validate candidate accessories on Android in unusual environments, to exhaustively verify interoperability considering the known variability of the Bluetooth landscape (on both sides of any given connection).

"But that's a computer."

"Yes, running Android, an OS explicitly supported by logos on your packaging, specific instructions in the user manual and support in the official app."

"Using this hardware on a computer is not supported."

"Your official product communications clearly convey that you unilaterally support Android regardless of device type. The type of Android device I am using here is an x86 laptop, precisely to facilitate wide-range compatibility testing, and to catch potential compatibility issues early on. I'm interested in using this hardware, but after only 20 minutes of testing I've found I experience dropouts while using the officially supported app and running on an officially supported operating system."

I would be very interested to know how the conversation would continue...

Sadly this would be one of those Weird Thing In Instruction Manual-generating events ("why does this say it's not compatible with Android on PC???") but it might work.

(And if the person on the other end of the phone is mostly listening for keywords and they actually think you might be doing some sort of enterprise rollout (*cough* and want to buy a lot more hardware *cough*)... they might suddenly be very interested...)
Do you know how'd it'd work for plates like ham radio ones where you CAN'T transfer them to another another person, but it'd also make no sense to turn them in? Can you keep them to use on another car eventually?

This whole "turn in the plates or we'll go after you for not having insurance" seems completely insane. I've never turned in plates and no one's cared.
Was it really "well known" that the complex number multiplication opcodes needed the destination to differ from the source or that the intermediate results were rounded to ensure they were commutative?

Phaethon, the Son of the Sun God Helios
"In most authors, Phaethon is the son of Helios, and out of desire to have his parentage confirmed, travels to the sun-god's palace in the east. There he is recognised by his father, and asks him for the privilege to drive his chariot for a single day. Despite Helios' fervent warnings and attempts to talk him out of it, counting the numerous dangers he would face in his celestial journey and reminding Phaethon that only he can control the horses, the boy is not dissuaded and does not change his mind. He is then allowed to take the chariot's reins; his ride is disastrous, as he cannot keep a firm grip on the horses. As a result, he drives the chariot too close to the earth, burning it, and too far from it, freezing it. In the end, after many complaints, from the stars in the sky to the earth itself, Zeus strikes Phaethon with one of his lightning bolts, killing him instantly. His dead body falls into the river Eridanus, and his sisters the Heliades are turned to black poplar trees as they mourn him.

Phaethon's tale was commonly used to explain why inhabitable lands on both sides of extremity (such as hot deserts and frozen wastelands) exist, and why certain peoples have darker complexions, while his sisters' amber tears accounted for the river's rich deposits of amber."

I find this fascinating and am now in a rabbit hole of Greek mythology. Would love recs on any good books on the subject.
> With the above assumptions, this paper would conclude that only one operation in a transistor is "computing" anything

Why? A transistor is just an arbitrary boundary. You could as well draw a box around any combinatorial circuit and just call it a "computational element". It has inputs and outputs and a switching energy for each unit of computation it does.

This is just the process of breaking computation up into abstractions--"boxes".

Clearly we must do this, otherwise we'd have to reason about individual electrons.
> poised to push back against commercial mass surveillance

By consolidating all surveillance to Apple?
Unfortunately there are plenty of laws and regulations that make your assessment just plain incorrect.
This was always the case with DRM music back in the day, or DVDs after it was cracked etc.

Or, the very much infuriating HDCP that was cracked before being in use and that hasn't stopped anything but legal use. Causing immense frustration worldwide.

We are poisoning ourselves.
> And crypto requires no party have too much control over the hash rate or else the advantage over traditional finance is lost.

what is your threat model here? what practical attack do you think is going to happen?

>Not technically. Even crypto-to-crypto trades still involve miners at least.

miners are not middlemen, they have zero control or ability to interfere with the transfer of funds. wiring money involves handing control of the funds to a middleman like a bank, who you have to trust to do what you ask. there are incentive structures but it is ultimately a human system. this is not the case with eg bitcoin -- any individual miner or validator who didn't want to process your transaction would simply be replaced by one of the thousands of others. if you're savvy you can simply run your own node.
Geekbot does this on Slack. Granted, it’s a standup meeting replacement, not a journal input bot.
There were Onkyo receivers with support for Spotify Connect for example.
It's pretty hard for a lot of traditional Japanese companies to adapt it seems.

Try using a Japanese bank when traveling, wow...
The lock-in makes it impossible for me to use most of their services though. I need to access all my stuff on Mac but also on Windows and Linux.

I wish there was a good privacy-embracing cloud platform that I could just pay for directly instead of via buying hardware as Apple does.

iCloud private relay is a great idea but I need it on all my computers and phones. I use Firefox now but their VPN option doesn't hold a candle to what Apple offers with icloud relay. It's really a different thing altogether.
It is weird right? And yet it isn't either. Selling weapons to people so they can vanquish their enemies has been a time honored tradition. If we were less invested in which side won, I wouldn't be surprised to see companies selling to both sides, because business is business right?

There are "rules" (and by rules I mean what is interpreted as "participating" vs "supporting" in a conflict that have been established and enforced for well over a thousand years. And supplying weapons has been firmly established in the 'supporting' category not the 'participating' category.

This conflict is illustrating a lot of things that haven't been seen since the cold war, which is an opportunity to learn new things about how the world works if you haven't seen it before.

The next interesting step happens when this conflict settles out, what does it look like.
Many modern receivers support both Chromecast and Airplay, as well as some level of HomeKit / Google Home / Alexa integration.

I think for Onkyo, they just fell in an awkward middle. Not as high end as Denon/Marantz/etc. and not as cheap as < cheapest thing you can find >. Combined with the drastic decrease in people "needing" receivers and speakers (many people now just get a sound bar, or Bluetooth speakers) and the market squeezed them.
You may lose money if you sell them before maturity.

Having lived in various suburbs in the US and Canada, these are car-oriented places. Living space is as large alone can afford and every activity occurs at the other end of a car ride. Or a bus ride if one is a pre-uni student. In more-affluent, newer suburbs, there can easily be more cars than people and so there's been a tradeoff between useful yard-size (where kids can play) to pads of asphalt and concrete (where cars can be parked). Also, as ground is expensive, the inter-house distance and the yard size has dropped over the decades.

If one wants to interact as the original poster is used to, one lives in the city. And there are parts of the country where such city-based living is possible (usually larger, older cities). Biking has tried to break down the car-dominated nature but that's more work than many people are willing (or able) to put in. Which makes for a bad situation for the elderly.

And in the US at least, association with one's neighbours has declined.

Maybe the "Cuties debacle" refers to the promotional imagery put out by Netflix with regards to the film. See here [0] a side-by-side comparison of the original poster for the film and the Netflix poster for the film.

People who only saw the Netflix poster could have a very different view of the movie and some might even refuse to watch the film.

So what percentage of your matches have turned out to be unsuitable for you because they were, in fact, not childfree? Are we talking 20%, 80%?
It's usually cheaper to buy more hardware than to burn engineering hours except at the very low scale (1-2 engineer) and at FAANG scale.
Look at stack overflow. They run a very popular site as a monolithic app on a small number of IIS and SQLServer boxes (and presumably some amount of CDN/cache)
This depends on your country and specific copyright laws. These differences exist mostly between common law and roman law countries.

In Germany there is a distinction between copyright holder (Inhaber des Urheberrechts) and the entity that is allowed to act on the copyright (Inhaber des Nutzungsrechts). If I take a picture that you contracted me to take, I'm the former and you're the latter.
Seems like stock and crypto trading completely replaced sports betting a year or two ago when pro sports games couldn't actually be played. Hence the rise of the r/WSB phenomenon. Bringing up sports betting seems anachronistic.
It's too bad Denon (DENki ONkyo) didn't buy this Onkyo to make the merger complete :). I'm guessing it wasn't worth it to go downmarket via Onkyo, and it sounds like Onkyo had been accumulating debt for years.
Actually, absent a work for hire agreement, that isn’t true [in the US.] I used to be a contract photographer for Reuters, Time, and a bunch of other places you’ve heard of and my standard agreement was a day rate, and the client would have rights to the specific photo they published. All the outtakes were mine and I subsequently could sell those through an agency. On other assignments, specifically corporate and advertising, those would often be a work-for-hire agreement in which case they owned everything I shot. Of course I charged a lot more for those assignments because I wouldn’t be able to make residuals from agency sales. An example is I photographed Ken Lay for Enron as a work for hire. So when the Enron scandal hit, I couldn’t sell anything from that shoot. Another assignment was a Bush family portrait for Reuters in 1998. I was able to sell my outtakes and that made me a pile of money during the 2000 presidential campaign since there was no work for hire agreement. And the Bush’s didn’t have any rights to those photos despite being the subject even though I shot it in their family home.

The point is that work-for-hire has to be explicit. For medical imagery, it would seem that the creator of the images would have the rights, but HIPAA would preclude them using them unless there was a specific release (which is common in teaching hospitals.)
slicer.org is a great open source viewer, the learning curve is something but the results can be impressive.
I have always wondered if a business model like below would make money.

For example, I could take this. Host it on heroku. And charge cheaper price than calendly.

Not aiming to make millions a year. Maybe 1000 a month is good.
No. Absolutely not.

A clinician's ability to use medical data is governed by the patient (barring certain exceptions).
How would you know? Whether or not something is protected by copyright is not something you can asses with a blanket statement. Medical images can definitely be protected by copyright.
That awkward middle also included the reputation that they would easily break down after a few years, which made many people choose for a different brand.
I've been working remote for almost six years now and still am willing to quit my job to preserve this ability. There are small things I miss about working in an office but they're outweighed by an order of magnitude by what I like about working remote (or don't like about working on site).
How does that tie into what I explained?
Thanks for sharing this, I have the 75t which I use for mobile and work. I love them and would rbuy again in a heartbeat but this kind of nonsense is unacceptable.
Yes yes, we get it, you don't like where you work or your coworkers.

Maybe that is a signal in itself you should find a place where you do enjoy it? We spend so so so much of our time at work, we should strive to make it something we enjoy.
You really think that in decades of linguists studying Linear A, no one has thought of trying Zipf's law?

If scientists have studied something for this long, and you come up with an idea that fits in a single paragraph, it's probably been tried and didn't work. Unless you're the field's leading expert in which case you would be off doing it, not posting it on HN :)

Edit: typos

Except if you’re a pattern day trader (even with more than 25k) in which case you get the middle finger and nothing. Zero interest. Which is ridiculous because they make more money on these people.

a concept of "cancer" comes to mind when you describe that, somehow..
The problem is that even if everyone is in the office, they are often in different offices. I currently work at a company with people resourced into projects from two other countries (soon 4), with a plethora of customers on other sites in my country. We have three offices in this country as well, and the head office is in a different country again.

Almost every decision (which requires a meeting) requires someone from this diaspora. So we are on video no matter what.
Thanks, I think you're right, I'd misread what they said.
That's pretty much useless, though. We know for a fact that the brain uses irreversible computational processes and that essentially all the input information is erased. So the lower bound is indeed valid. There is indeed a necessary connection between thermodynamic bits and logical bits. Indeed, since we know that we can assume irreversible computation, we know that the computation isn't dominated by those zero-work algorithms.

And indeed, if you minimally look at the neuronal model of computation, you can obviously see that computation is going to be irreversible (though reversible calculation is possible in theory).

Now, you're right that there is a lot of wiggle-room for implementation, but the lower-bound is indeed robust. So there is clearly value to the argument.
Linus Tech Tips needs this on every video involving Linux.
That sounds absolutely right to me. I would guess that there's more likely to be creativity, and therefore a copyright, in the brief medical notes written by an expert who has examined the image. So, if you want to worry about the intersection between copyright law and medical data ...
For an entire book’s worth of this article, I highly recommend Lowenstein’s biography of Buffet.

Fantastic, detailed read and I had zero interest in the man beforehand.

Then, skip it?

I'm interested in the discussion, so ....
Good point. Now that you are pointing this out I see this reflected in the behavior off my friends. I have friends in the US who make very high salaries but are much more focused on that and piling up money for retirement as quickly as possible whereas my friends in Europe are earning much less but are prioritizing happiness. At the same time some of the offers I've seen for the same people at different companies for the same person differed by significantly more than my European friends' entire compensation.
ICE uses data brokers to bypass surveillance restrictions, report finds
my first thought before reading the article was, "are we even talking about an electric computer here?"

There are all sorts… some MIT wonks built one that plays tik tak toe that's made of tinker-toys and powered by a crank… in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, a computer built from a church pipe organ is used to decrypt third reich punch cars… all quite feasible.

But yeah, this is algae-for-electricity… pretty cool regardless, but it does make me wonder if some sort of bio-abacus could be possible
Hundreds of thousands of developers use Macs every day to produce both content and software. And the Internet is still open to you (in most countries, at least) to add your own service or website.

Also, technology has advanced so much in the past 15 years that people are replacing their Apple devices significantly less frequently than they used to.
I’ve been working from home for 13 years, so, yes? It clearly works for a lot of people.
