Most companies tend to not flat out own their real estate but lease it, sometimes through a special purpose vehicle that only owns that building and was financed by the company. This allows a lot better flexibility and isolation from bankruptcy etc. But I would expect if my prediction is true a big write down for those owning and holding large campuses as other corporate real estate “right sizes” to what the accountants can convince the board of.

I hope the glut of office space can be rezoned to mid use - smaller office foot prints combined with residential and commercial. We are frankly overweight office space in regions saddled with a massive shortfall of residential space.

However I really emphasize with commercial businesses right now. Downtown seattle is a ghost town. The lunch crowd businesses are suffering, and the streets have been taken over by the mentally ill and those that feed on them.
Colleague got laid off a month ago, but I'm still here. He has 3 months off over the summer before looking for work again. I haven't had a break more than 10 days since college, I'm super jealous.
Hey thanks for the shoutout!

JanetDocs turned out ok in the end, it's been running on janet for years at this point, no hiccups to speak of really. (Please be nice to the server)
That is really good for you, you will probably be able to be paid more because you can be in the office, I just heard from a friend who got unheard compensation because he was willing to go to the office.
L5 Automation | Multiple Positions | Los Angeles, CA | Full-Time | https://www.l5automation.com/

L5 Automation is working to enable the next generation of automation by giving robots the same 'hand eye coordination' we as humans take for granted, starting with Strawberry Harvesting. Sizzle video here: https://youtu.be/WTOcdZh5lMo

We are an early-stage startup, with a total of about a dozen people, including several part time folks and a couple of interns. We have fielded a working proof of concept and are in process of building our first operational prototype to allow us to service our first commercial contract.

We are hiring for Software, Robotics, and Mechatronics. Prefer on-site but depending on role can consider remote.

If interested, please send a resume to careers@l5automation.com, referencing this HN Post and sharing a project you are particularly proud of.
The source is common sense, experience, and original thought. I don't copy every thought I have from an NYT article or whatever you're looking for.

Minimax is emphatically not even remotely close to EV maximization, especially for high-dimensional optimization spaces with sharp risk/return curves as I described.

Thanks for posting this. My kids are getting to their teens and the fog is lifting somewhat.

I couldn't think of an elegant way to mention that and suggest that OP should still attempt to maintain their mental faculties (nutrition, sleep, reading, learning within capabilities), so they aren't caught with their proverbial pants down when the kids get older.
Yeah, it felt kind of a letdown, but still pretty interesting to cover so many different topics and points of view throughout each season.
So how should I go about investing/creating a portfolio? I'm 29 and finally making decent money. Not sure how to move forward

This actually sounds like the exact opposite of Wittgenstein, who argued against the idea of a "private language".
twirp is great. You get all the benefits of a schema'd/proto'd wire format (like automatic client library generation), but using standard http infrastructure (web servers, loadbalancers, etc etc) without the custom grpc routing stuff.
> the bureaucracy and the more efficient capital allocation, is completely eclipsed by the massive waste of paying UBI to everyone who doesn't need welfare

I understand your idea. The crux here being neither of us are providing data, just rhetoric.
The CEO of the company I work for has announced an official return-to-office date, a couple of weeks away.

However, every lower-level manager that I know has told their reports that they can either come into the office or continue working from home indefinitely, whatever works for them.

I plan to mainly work from home but will probably spend more time in the office during the summer, due to: 1) Wife and kids will be home more, and I focus better in a quiet office. 2) I get to ride my motorbike in the nicer weather. 3) 50% less traffic along my commute due to college kids going home and university staff on vacation.
>Yeah Canada isn't the US, we have remedies available to us other than sending people to jail

Can you elaborate? Is there Canadian privacy law being violated here that doesn't stipulate any penalty other than exposing Tim Hortons to private lawsuits? Forgive the directness of my question, your comment reads like you'd know.

...to be perfectly honest, "launch a civil suit and get pennies!" sounds much more American than throwing people in jail for privacy violations. The data is already out there.
...the highest I ever got paid was 15K euros, per annum.

Then don't give your business to them. Let them very clearly know "we will not purchase your services until you support SSO at a reasonable price". Otherwise they'll never learn.

I love capitalism, but the fact that laws are so meek towards companies is a flaw of our implementation of it.

First, define productivity for each role. After trying to do so, most companies could probably fire 1/5 of their work force without repercussions.

> The more money the government prints the more the stock market goes up.

I'm not an economist, but I have some speculation (no pun intended):

When the government prints money, most of it ends up with the rich. The smart rich know that it's unwise to have lots of money lying around, so they buy investment assets, like real estate and stocks.

When quantitative easing started in 2008-ish, guess what got more expensive? When COVID hit and money printer go brrrr, what got more expensive?
Have we checked to see if this is already the case?
There's a game out there IIRC, but from experience, it's easy to get lost in your own code because of the obscurity of bf. That's it's charm ahahaha.
Why not do most of that too? Yes, it should be non-viable as a business decision, but also something that will result in very personal and life altering consequences for those running the company. If I spied on even just a single person like this I'd be thrown in prison as a stalker. "Charge them for all individual incidents at maximum allocation per law." would mean a life sentence for CEOs when really just a decade or two behind bars would be enough to ensure that companies don't risk it.
Two-portfolio theory is a good place to start.

VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market) + BND (Vanguard Total Bond Market).

If you're saving for retirement, 30% BND + 70% VTI is a good starting point. Bonds grow slower than stocks, but stocks are riskier than bonds. Both grow over time.

VTI charges a 0.03% fee/year.

BND charges a 0.03% fee/year.

These are very low fees. The management style is hands-off (which is why its so low): VTI buys every stock in the stock market proportional to their size. BND buys every bond in the bond market proportional to their size (ie: mostly US Treasuries, but also some company-debts). Since these are broad and diversified, you should perform decidedly "average", which is fine.

--------

If you're saving for something near term (ex: new car, new house) that's within 5 years, you'll want to be more-bonds and fewer-stocks, 50/50 or maybe even 70% bonds / 30% stocks

Research bonds and stocks very closely. Learn their details, how companies work, dividends / profits are distributed (in particular, learn the theory between dividends vs capital expenditures vs stock buybacks).

For Bonds, learn about inflation risk, interest-rate risk, and more.

Once you understand the basics, feel free to branch out and put small amounts of money into specific stocks (or specific stock-sectors).

This is called PostgREST: https://postgrest.org/. Never used it in production, but PostgREST leverages multiple PostgreSQL features: row-based security, schemas, authorizations, etc. I quite like PostgREST, and I'd use it for internal stuff.
I think satisfaction is largely subjective. There are people who can find satisfaction in the worst kind of shit. It's similar to how marathon runners and other endurance athletes "like" pain. That's one of the reasons companies look for people with athletic background and achievements - they're the ones who learned to embrace the suck.

How do you measure this? I think if you could measure subjective suffering, the situation may be better. Did you assume that people needed the extra $50 for something?
I'll somewhat echo the other response: I believe in Pat. He clearly communicates during his press releases, obviously is very technical and has a good understanding of the industry. He also seems to work well with others. I think it's possible he can turn that ship around (and may already be doing so), but it was just too late for me.

I haven't sold the $INTC I got as comp, and that probably speaks louder than whatever I say here.
My mistake there, I meant "the Gemini server" meaning to refer to https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/gmnisrv/ which I'm to understand is pretty popular. Bad English on my part, apologies.
What's the workload where you found that to be the case? The system allocator is heavily tuned for general use, and should be very difficult to beat -- generally.

What does this "middle end" do? Does it proxy to PostGraphile, or does it do something with the query beforehand? Or does it not proxy it at all?
"automagical GraphQL to SQL compiler" makes no sense. Is this just another Hasura? Is it a compiler or a service?
Leverage has not, in fact, shifted back. Every single person I've interviewed in the past two months for roles at my company has declared that they were forced to go back to the office by their employer and do not want to commute anymore. Companies are experiencing brain drain and their executives are too stupid to recognize that a permanent shift has occurred.

You don't get to (a) keep wages low for existing employees in a market where wages have been increasing by 10% a year for years and (b) make demands of them that they almost universally disapprove of.
There is a brainfuck variant supporting syscalls. Seems like a great candidate for a llvm backend. You could have mostly any app you want.

Fun thanks!
GraphQL is the extra. It's usually a lot easier to reason about a graphQL query and the necessary data for a frontend component, than to write a one-off SQL query for the same purpose.
>I had never seen swappable IO for starters.
Cool as they may be these are just dongles that integrate into the chassis, the exact same can be accomplished with a dock or dongle. Additionally IMO most consumers could count on 1 hand how many times they have used external IO, a person might use a flash drive once in a blue moon, but everything is in the cloud now.

>Finally when it comes to upgradability you can't upgrade the motherboards/cpus on 99% of laptops, certainly not to hardware that came out after the laptop shipped, you can on the framework (now selling 12th gen intel cpus).

While this is true and awesome, I would like to see if they are able to continue this when the upgrade is more of a major shift, for example to compete with the M1 we could see a shift to integrated HBM, and WiFi in Intel and AMD CPUs.
And only 4 other laptops have scored as high as framework for repairability since 2010 - and only 1 other from this decade, none of which were as modular or upgradeable after the fact.

I think it's more that folks wish we would build upwards more.
If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Since it is easy to do what everyone is doing, your investments will not do better that the market. Therefore, if you want to beat the market, it is difficult. Consider the most efficient easy strategy to be minimizing fees.
My unsubstantiated view is the growth of broad market index funds. Because billions coming in to buy and hold, why would it drop value?
Smos: A comprehensive self-management tool
Do they? When I was that age, I read all the time in tech-friendly press about how much I wanted those things, but I assure you I never did. It's always seemed like a narrative pushed by people who have just assumed the next generation will line up to spend even more money for less. I suspect if 25-35 year olds could reasonably afford 3 bedrooms in the Bay Area we wouldn't be having this issue at all, ignoring density of this area.

But don't make the mistake of conflating 700 sqft apts w/urban centers. On today's remote wages, an engineer can afford the kind of modest home in a walkable urban area in many parts of the US, but affording that on even NY and Bay Area Big Tech wages is looking out of grasp for that next generation. It certainly looks a lot riskier.
If you're looking for something like GraphJin, PostGraphile or Hasura but with less boilerplate and complexity, more end-to-end typesafe approach and optimistic updates, check out Thin Backend https://thin.dev/ (https://github.com/digitallyinduced/thin-backend)

Thin Backend takes a bit more of a higher level approach to database operations than services like GraphJin, but solves fundamentally the same problem. Doing things in a more structured way also allows us to do things like optimistic updates by default that require manual work with GraphQL tools.

To see some code examples, here's a small example project done with thin-backend: https://github.com/digitallyinduced/thin-backend-todo-app It's running on Vercel here: https://thin-backend-todo-app.vercel.app/

If you're interested in how building a small demo app with Thin looks like, check this video https://youtu.be/-jj19fpkd2c

There are existing frontend tools that can compose GraphQL but only string builders can compose SQL, AFAIK; it also seems to act as a "paper over the underlying database specifics" by using what seems to be MongoDB-esque criteria: https://github.com/dosco/graphjin/wiki/Guide-to-GraphQL#othe... meaning the consumer need not know the postgres-vs-mysql-isms (in theory, of course)

Also, don't overlook the whiz-bang of the GraphQL introspection tooling -- it's super handy for just kicking the tires on something in ways that "dump the SQL schema to the browser" likely wouldn't do

The related pg_graphql posted a while back (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29430720) actually mentions GraphJin positively, and talks about a bunch of competing implementations, although it's not one-to-one with GraphJin because it seems to support mysql whereas pg_graphql is of course a PG extension
It's because they didn't sell it directly on the market. They were sold to funds that would lock up the Lunas for 2 years and so on. The Lunas were also sold at a discount (relative to the market price back then).
I worked remote for 12/16 (the 4 years being somewhere in the middle).
Working from the office was surely fun.

Jokes, ping pong, lunches, going to the gym, coffee breaks, beers, useless meetings, company parties.

Most of my time in the office wasn't productive but I was sure happier about the company.

Working remote it's easier not to give a crap about your employer. Still, at least you have time to get stuff done without anyone bothering you and then have some extra free time.
ProtonMail has been re-branded
Not OP, but i've recently set up 5 cameras, 2 more on the way. My system is Ubiquiti with the following hardware:

- UDM Pro

- 24 Port PoE Switch

- 3 G3 Instant (Wifi based Camera)

- 1 G4 Pro (4k Cam, optical zoom, etc)

- 2 G3 Flex (cheaper/simpler option to the G4 Pro for less important areas)

- 1 G3 Doorbell

- 2 Wifi 6 Lite AP

I've been mostly happy with it so far. My only complaint is that there seems to be a semi-common issue with scrubbing timeline history. Downloading the clip works fine, but the websocket driven UI seems to lock up - i suspect it is a UI Software issue.

Aside from their software i've been very happy. Also the cameras, i believe, serve standard RTSPS so if i get fed up with Ubiquiti software i might switch to something standard. Though i'll probably try changing the hard drive (something faster perhaps) or even a dedicated NVR in an effort to make the history scrubbing work better.

Seems like a minor issue that could probably be resolved easily if it was FOSS :/

VisiData is really, really, really cool and I have fallen in love with it. There's a great primer here: https://jsvine.github.io/intro-to-visidata/
I do this and haven't had nearly as many problems as the author for a couple of reasons. First, I refuse to give out my email in most of the situations he complains about. I almost never want or need to link my physical retail purchases to an email address, and in the cases where I do, it is usually faster and easier to ask for a loyalty packet and sign up online than to dictate all the information to a clerk.

Second, I'm not strict about it, and use a generic address (my-formal-name@example.com) in situations where I do need to give an email verbally (like contractors asking where to send a quote). And I also have my-nick-name@example.com which I give to friends and family.

Since I only use the catch-all emails for things I do online, they are all stored in a password manager so I don't have any problem forgetting them.

With these more relaxed rules, I still end up using a catchall email the vast majority of the time, with a fraction of the annoyances. The only time it really comes up is for telephone support calls with accounts I created online, and it isn't a big deal.

The benefit is that I can block 90% of spam using nothing but a black list of address that have been compromised. And the novelty of knowing who has shitty security with my information.
I'll be honest I assumed that information was in wikipedia.
Notably, in the linked article, the greatest good didn't come from the legal change. Instead, it was the normalization that allowed others to seek help that had the biggest impact.

Joe Polchinski’s “Memories of a Theoretical Physicist”
the most important thing is diversification. First of all, max out your 401K immediately and then get an IRA if you're income is low enough. Within there buy the SPY and maybe VTI (you want as much diversification as possible). Outside, of the 401K and IRA, you also buy SPY, VTI (but remember, you won't be able to sell that in any year where you make income above 40K because of "capital gains", lolz "gains", history 100 years from now will call that a misnomer.)

If you invest in GOLD, do it in an IRA otherwise you will be hit with 28% collectibles tax, no matter how low your income is.

Get some bitcoin (or GBTC in an IRA), the two wrongest allocations for bitcoin are 0% and 100%, but many financial professionals today will recommend 3-5%.

Disclaimer: I know nothing and This is NOT financial advise.

Most importantly, try not to pick winners. that's a fools errand. Pros that know absolutely everything can't even beat the market, so just try and be average. If you can be average with the VTI, then you'll beat the returns of most people who try to pick winners.
