Does it mean you work with focus from 8am to 5pm? And suppose that you're working in a competitive environment and you won't meet the expectation for your job if you don't work a few extra hours?

I entirely agree it's your right, but if you're ambitious and working more can help you to achieve certain goals, it's not unreasonable to work more than the bare minimum. As long as it's a personal choice, I think it's fine.
>He also had a tendency to drop out of long meetings when his camera overheated,

Also make sure your digital SLR or whatever expensive camera you're using as a webcam doesn't have a 30m video limit, which some do. This is one of the most recommended pieces of advice on /r/videoediting (non-professional) for new streamers.

For most people, if you want better video quality for Zoom meetings or teaching Yoga online or similar, then a relatively recent smartphone camera + better lighting and microphone is more than sufficient.

I think GP probably needs to be more flexible about their "must-have"'s. If you could get a nice phone with a small screen, would a small bezel on top for a camera be such a disaster?
Couldn't it also translate into a falling standard of living in developed countries as large populations of increasingly affluent people compete for the same limited resources?

It could also translate into an increased rate of extraction/depletion of natural resources, as the economic incentive grows stronger.

It ultimately needs to reach an equilibrium where a developed nation lifestyle for the entire world population would only consume natural resources at the rate that they can be replenished.
compare reading a monthly magazine back then to today where it takes milliseconds to doom scroll through your unlimited, hyper-optimized for engagement “happiness highlight reel” social media newsfeed in the palm of your hand with 24/7 availability… yes it’s much much worse for kids today and both psychologically and behaviorally.

Modern Art is a cultural placebo for the vast majority of admirers. If it has the right signature or is hanging in a museum people will dig for rationalizations of their faux appreciation.

SpaceX is imminently switching to methane fuel, and an engine design that should offer much more complete combustion of the fuel. I was hoping to see at least a comment about this in the paper.
As a retired programmer, the main part of my career was last century so if I could communicate this situation with my 20th century self he would be horrified by (among other things):

1) The lack of privacy

2) Being location tracked

3) The expectation that one should be available for work communications 24/7 for no extra pay

I'm sure he would say something like "Wow, it's too bad America is no longer a free country. We programmers are building the systems that enslave us. We're building our own cages, without asking if we should. In the future out employers will prioritize themselves over our families, partners, children and mental health. What do your kids have to say about this?"

We all dismissed the idea of unions because we were highly paid salaried professionals that employers bent over backwards for, but come to find out, unions are more than about money.
The phone companies haven't even bothered to ask people what they actually want. They just take a wild guess, they make a bad phone and it sells bad, then they claim "see, people don't want small phones". That is just ignorant behavior on their side.

No, we don't want ugly or clumsy phones. We don't want overpriced phones. We don't want brittle phones that can't stand a fall. We don't want phones with weak batteries that won't last a day. We don't want lousy cameras. We don't want laggy and buggy phones. We don't want good phones that are only available in other parts of the world where we can't buy them (Sony is making small phones...but only in Japan).

The companies should ASK the consumers what they NEED. But they don't.
I would also add that most businesses of a certain size ARE corrupt.
The DVD service wasn't available outside the US, as far as I understand.

The reason they can rent-out DVD titles from anyone, is because of the First-Sale doctrine[1] in the US. Basically, once they buy the DVD, they can do with it what they want. It's the same law that lets libraries operate.

With streaming, they need permission of the copyright holders. Who, at first, were all "Who gives a shit about streaming, it doesn't make any money and the quality is shit". Once Netflix proved out how to do it right - then all the studios realised there was money to be made by doing their own platform (even if you do a shitty job of it)

> This is where you need data.

More specifically, this is where you need data which does not and cannot exist. Specifically, an objective scale which would allow you to compare the cost or benefit of policy to the platform and the sellers. There is no such objective scale, because value is subjective and not comparable between different economic actors, or even for the same actor at different times. Any model which assigns numeric "estimates" for these costs and benefits so they can be compared is substituting the authors' own subjective valuations in place of those of those who will be affected by the policy.
There's that, but happily isn't the word. Every year I'd go on a research spree to find a replacement but it had to be as small or smaller. Every year I came up empty so eked out another year on the old phone.

I'd happily replace more often if only palm-sized or smaller phones were available. I'm not particularly price sensitive either, I'll pay top premium price to get a conveniently-sized phone if someone is willing to sell it to me.
Wow why is this so fun and joyful :) So satisfying...

ABB's had some recent 360kW charger deployments[1], and has a plan with Shell to deploy these across Germany[2]. This is just under 500HP charge!

It's old now, but there's a video comparing a Model 3 & Audi e-tron charging, on a 350kW charger[3]. I'm mainly looking at the charge rate directly, since the cars will have different efficiencies & packs (70 & 85kWh I think?). The Tesla starts at 180kW but by +10m is charging alike the Audi, who holds steady at 140kW for a long time, while the model 3 keeps dropping. At +25m the Audi finally starts dropping charge rate, a bit, but is still doing 120kW at 80% SoC! Just interesting seeing the Audi be flat & the Model 3 really ramp down. Old video though. Oh, seems the Model3 can do faster. I suspect the Ionity caps out at 400V & that's holding up the charge. I wish volts & amps were visible in more charging videos, could be shown by the car too!!!

Better Load Balancing: Real-Time Dynamic Subsetting
It should also be noted that the CMO who originally greenlit this "publication" (that no one else in the company really understood or seemed aware of) left the company in March.

So I look at this sort of layoff as not strictly indicative of the broader Netflix concerns (which are real and valid), but just as much about the executive sponsor of a project going away, and thus the project being dropped.

Unfortunately, I think we will see actual Netflix layoffs in the future, especially as they have to to deal with loss of subscribers, lower investor confidence, and the fact that Wall Street is finally making them answer for those bloated content budgets, but I don't look at this very small, and seemingly largely focused group of layoffs as a canary in the coal mine as much as some of the trade publications (that frankly, should know better), are trying to frame this.
I love a lot of modern Art, but I do feel Picasso is both way overrated and simultaneously a bit under appreciated. I think this is true of most of the big names in modern art. “Meme art” if you will. Some of it is deserving, but most of it is going to lose value over the next century, by a lot, and that will be a good thing for Art and for artists.

Really wish there was an easy way to short sell art. Artists themselves are pretty good at judging this stuff, but the market can stay irrational a long time.
This is accurate. Casual users will not ever acquire a following and may never tweet. It was advertised back in the day as "public text messaging" to send small updates to your circle. That died a long time ago and they never really updated the branding. Now, it is for celebrities big and small. Lady Gaga can reach a few million people, a charismatic geologist can reach a few thousand with earthquake facts. It's good for industry people discussing niche topics with an open audience. It's good for some businesses to reach customers. There's a modicum of interactivity. I setup a pretty solid feed of high-quality commenters and publications. I still quit in under a year.

Ask HN: How to Compete in a Global Remote Work Environment?
I was recently applying for a remote job in which the interview committee informed me that as the role is remote, they are recruiting globally. I was then asked for my salary expectations.

I am genuinely confused as to how to answer this question: as this is a position that is hiring globally, it seems that applicants who live in regions where the cost of living is substantially lower can of course in turn list their salary expectations as much lower.

Logically, global-hire positions then seem to me to be a race to the bottom. If I list my salary expectations as the equivalent of $20 an hour, an equally-qualified candidate who lists theirs as $10 an hour will of course logically get the job instead. So what do you do in such a scenario? Offer to work for practically nothing, or risk not getting hired because someone else is willing to work for less?
That's not really science though. Science requires developing a hypothesis. I've yet to see an AI do this. Not trying to raise the bar or anything, just saying let's not call it scientific.

In both Go and Chess the strong engines available now have already shown us human strategy was off the mark somewhat. Said simply, humans put too much weight on margin of victory vs probability of victory. In these games the difference means humans favor maintaining a material advantage more than the engines, who are more likely to trade material for a positional advantage.

You're being downvoted, but the reality is for a lot of workers the time that's passed since the pandemic started hasn't felt like working from home, it's felt like living at work, and this is especially true for workers who live in towns that don't have a lot of tech companies. It's hard to stand your ground when there's only one tech company in town, or you're a young engineer who doesn't want their resume to show they left their first job out of college less than a year after they were hired.

My impression was that the last time I was using R intensively there was a movement back from tidyverse to base R. But that's a few years ago, so you say that's reversed again?

I'm not against it at all, in fact I was doing nearly all of my work in dplyr, reshape, ggplot,... and I second that it's much more convenient and intuitive than the various apply's,...

My impression was that it was quite political and Hadley Wickham had antagonized some people in the core R community (and tbf, it was a bit annoying with him introducing redundant packages, reinventing and relabelling multiple ways of doing the same things, and presenting each new iteration as the end-all-be-all).
> In my own specialty (industrial organization) unsolved problems which would be of interest to readers here include optimal regulation of platforms and two-sided markets. Theory and empirics are difficult, so regulators are to some extent fumbling in the dark a bit. It is not at all clear how to regulate (for example) Amazon’s offering its own versions of products sold on its marketplace OR what the right tariff Apple should charge for access to the App Store is.

The subject was "unsolved problems in economics", not "unsolved problems in politics". Regulation is a political topic, not an economic one.

That last point might be economic in nature, but only if Apple is the one making the decision, and is free to choose their own price without fear of regulation. Otherwise it's still politics.
OP isn't blaming anyone but himself in his post though!

How a truth is delivered to a person matters I think. You can go the dopaminergic snarky route or have some empathy or call it maturity even. This comment reads like 'I told you so' for really no clear reason besides a perhaps grumpy commenter. Anyway not disagreeing with you in general but maybe you have an idea now! :)

In the end he lost a small project domain so there really isn't anything to add that the OP can't figure out himself especially about personal responsibility and victim mindset (lol). He was probably just looking for someone to chime in with some loophole recovery advice or otherwise.
I don't believe that's true, but happy to be proven wrong. How exactly do you self host github?
A decent dynamic mic handles background noise well by design, as opposed to using software to attempt to process the dirty signal coming from a tiny ECM. I can comfortably take a call on my setup while people are talking next to me and with the TV on. If you want to go further there are ENG mics which can handle even noisier environments - think an interview in the middle of Times Square.

A mixer or interface also allows you to monitor the microphone signal in your headphones or speakers. It keeps your tone and volume more consistent and you'll immediately notice if you accidentally back away from the mic (as opposed to the other side complaining they can't hear).
Simply being dependable and competent makes you a pain to replace.

Don’t underestimate the slack the average worker has before being fired. Changes are you will be let go at some point based on stuff that has nothing to do with your personal competence at which point all that extra effort you put in being a stellar employee was largely pointless.

Getting a promotion sounds great, but jumping from company to company is generally the better option at which point you have again lost any befits from picking up the phone at 11pm on a Friday.

>Capturing sensitive data is possible thanks to the wild and messy world of real-time bidding [...] Here’s how it works: Each time a smartphone user opens an app or website that shows ads, their device shares data about that user to help show them a targeted ad. The advertiser with the highest bid for the available ad space wins.

>The data can go to dozens or even hundreds of companies for each auction. Google says it transmits the data of American users to about 4,700 companies in total across the world. Each “broadcast” — as they are called in the industry — typically shares data about a person’s location —including “hyperlocal” targeting, according to Google own pitch to advertisers — personal characteristics and browsing habits to help ad firms build user profiles.

Does Google transmit data about users to these 4,700 companies? I have no doubt ad companies are tracking people in the most horrific ways possible, but it was my understanding that Google's ad business is centered around hyper-targeting, and the 'data about a person's location' is not actually shared.
Indeed, I desperately want a smaller phone, but I heavily use the camera on my phone and in the end I decided I wasn't willing to give up camera quality for the iPhone Mini. So Apple's data may suggest that I don't want a small phone, but the reality is that I want a small phone that's actually as good as the big ones. No one has offered that.

"An American far-right activist group Project Veritas released a video purportedly showing..."

Project Veritas has a long history of fabricating charges against their political opponents. They are not a reliable source, and a news outlet that reports their "findings" uncritically is doing a disservice to the public.
I think ping differences lead to very interesting effects. One example is, imagine you have a "favor the shooter" system, and you have a 1v1 where one player has a sniper rifle that takes a while to charge to full power when they put it up to their eye to shoot, and you have the ability to become instantly invulnerable when you press the shift key. If the packet that says "she is putting the rifle up to her eye now" arrives 100ms late, then you have a false sense of security, because your mental model of her state of charge is 100ms behind reality. It means you use your invulnerability too late when you think it's time for her to fire a fully-charged shot, and you die instead of live. (This happens in Overwatch; if you play Mei you'll know what it's like to die inside your ice block.)

Another interesting scenario is projectile-based weapons. For reasonable Internet latencies and reasonable in-game distances, the projectile can travel faster than the packet announcing that it has been fired. The game state that gets sent from the shooter over the network is "I fired my weapon, I killed them". At the time you die, your client has none of that information, and since the shooter is favored, you just die out of nowhere. (This is less annoying, because I don't think you could move out of the way fast enough for it to matter. "My opponent's WiFi is bad, so I die half a second later for no reason" still feels pretty bad though. In the intervening milliseconds you had grand plans to win the game!)

All of this, to me, is a great lesson in eventual consistency in distributed systems. People break their keyboards over this stuff. Thinking it will be fine for your more-critical-than-a-casual-video-game system means this stuff will be happening to you multiple times a day, and you can't break your keyboard because you can only blame yourself for brining that system into the world. Tread carefully! Tread very carefully. Shit gets weird when your system has a split brain.
Transformers managed to confuse me about what interpolation and extrapolation really mean in high dimensional space
> "it's pretty predictable"

It quite literally isn't, otherwise there would be no billing surprises in the first place. Your entire argument about predictability is counter to the problem of unpredictable charges.

> "just stop accepting new data"

This is still effectively data loss and a major problem in production. Customers would rather negotiate a bill than lose data.

> "Nobody cares if the spending limit is accurate to the cent. What people care about is not being surprised by huge invoices."

Then it's a soft-cap, and if that's all you want then you already have billing alarms. Otherwise what's the buffer amount? What overage is acceptable? Is there a real hard cap? What if that's reached? You didn't actually provide any solution here.

> "the glacier pricing scheme, or at lambda pricing ... It's almost impossible to know how much it's going to cost you ahead of time."

How so? AWS is completely transparent about pricing. The calculations for it might be hard, but that's an entirely different issue. There are plenty of tools you can use if you don't want to do it yourself, however this is another logically incongruent point where you claim billing is easy enough to calculate and predict accurately for caps yet simultaneously hard enough that it's "almost impossible".
