I agree no one is owed, and I hope the tone of my post did not imply otherwise: it wasn't my intention. But there are negative consequences to those failures of a business that bleed over into other areas, impacting businesses that may otherwise have been healthy, or bleed to the economy as a whole.

In that way, it's less about what is or isn't owed to a business and more about whether external actions could be taken that keep the entire system from weakening. Take baby formula: Abbot isn't owed a functional formula plant, or government assistance to bring one back online, but not having it online impacts hundreds of thousand of babies, specifically those with special nutritional needs. Abbot screwed up an doesn't deserve tax payer money or special considerations or stop gap measures, not in the narrow sense of getting it's business in order. Bt the alternative hurts people in a very immediate & real sense. External intervention is less about helping the business and more about saving the health of many thousands of babies.

That, however, is a much different circumstance than the labor shortage. I just offer it as an example where what's "owed" is not the only and maybe not even the primary issue. In the labor shortage though I just don't see a clear external action that could save collateral damage. There are no good solutions.
How to make critical infrastructure safer–there’s a long way to go
I am in my mid 40's and recently really noticed this. It felt like some of the teeth in the gears of my mind were worn down and things were slipping.

After complaining about it to some peers I was informed this could be due to low testosterone so I went and had that tested. Apparently my testosterone level was that of a 70 year old man so I started testosterone replacement therapy. I can say that it is a complete game changer! Yes I feel like a shill saying/typing it but it is true. My energy has gone way up and my mind is feels much sharper than it previously was.

To be honest at 30 this may not be an issue for you but I put this out there for others who maybe older I definitely recommend getting tested at a clinic that specializes in testosterone replacement therapy.
That explains it. I recently had to download their activity upload app, but it was nowhere to be found on their website. Eventually I found a binary somewhere on the internet and it worked, and their upload infrastructure is still running it seems. As long as I can get the activities from my 8 year old TomTom Runner to my Strava account, I'm good.

>"I bet a third of them once were physical scientists/mathematicians who mostly regret their degrees"

Would mathematicians truly be regretting their degrees, if they decide to work in software? I read that mathematics one of the best degrees for a career in software engineering, as computer science is very closely related to mathematics (to the point where studies of algorithms are largely the same for mathematics and computer science students).

The "decriminalization" that is the status quo is merely the policy directive that the police decline to arrest and prosecutors decline to send regular users to jail.

There has been lots of evidence that the police very strongly police drug use and regularly confiscate drugs from drug users.

https://thetyee.ca/News/2020/09/18/Police-Drug-Seizures-DTES...

This is one of the core main changes that will be coming from this legislation. It's real decriminalization and the police can no longer confiscate small amounts of drugs.

This is likely a practical precursor to enabling doctors to prescribe a safe supply of drugs so that drug users don't have to rely on toxic street drugs that will kill them.

But beyond that, if police are no longer stopping and frisking drug users to confiscate their drugs, then this should limit risky drug use behaviours which should save lives. Right now people use drugs by themselves quickly to avoid the police. If they're no longer afraid of the police it may increase the likelihood that they use safe injection sites and more public drug use sites where they are safer and can be more easily connected with the health system.

>I'd think at some point, an excess amount of illegal migration would have a noticeable impact in some areas.

The problem is that housing isn't where the jobs are. That this is reflected in labor prices should be evidence enough. The prevalence of right-to-work and union-busting means that workers want to live in a place with multiple job options, which means that there is demand for cities. Working for the only paper mill in Covington, Virginia isn't such an attractive proposition when you can be fired at will and have to move to a new town.

For reasons you don't understand?

You don't understand that people need a few basic needs to live, and the suburbs aren't pulling their weight in providing them?

You don't understand that the suburbs keep harassing and arresting people for being homeless, and taking their things, until they fuck off to the city?

If we did that to you, until you left whichever town you live in, would you consider yourself getting kicked out of it?

You don't understand that if Seattle did the same thing, all of those suburbs would suddenly discover that they had to pull their own weight, and not just sweep their problem to the other side of lake Washington?

You're splitting hairs over semantics of what 'kicking out' means. The bottom line is that rural America gives it's problem people a choice between jail, harassment, death, or taking themselves and all their problems to urban America.

It then complains about how urban America is a cesspit that 'invites vagabonds'.

The parent comment linked to a tweet where he ~says~ implies everyone else working remotely is "pretend working".

Also in the emails:

> There are of course companies that don't require this, but when was the last time they shipped a great new product? It's been a while.

Seriously, no one else except Tesla in the whole world ships great products?

He also regularly makes disparaging comments on his competitors whether it's auto manufacturers, the self driving industry or even insults at politicians. Seems totally unnecessary for someone in his position of power.

It might be interesting to investigate the larger dynamic context of this situation. Of Americans making $250k how many recently made more than that and have been forced to downsize?
Also in my 30s, one thing I found that improved my focus/cognition more than I ever expected was strength training and exercise in general. I had never exercised regularly until a couple of years ago, and after two months of 2-3 times a week strength training with some cardio mixed in my brain felt like it was 20 again.

YMMV, but that and adequate sleep was what really did it for me. Also go easy on the alcohol, see if you can restrict it to once a week. Chronically imbibing even low amounts of depressants tends to, well, depress cognitive function. The enlightenment was driven by coffee and tea, not beer.
40 hours minimum means you only need to be there 40 hours, like most salaried full time jobs.
Self-learning Machines based on Hamiltonian Echo Backpropagation (2021)
Yup. If the org in every aspect is not ready for scale, stick to simpler solutions.
Having worked in academia before the age of 40 (though not in computer science), I can agree with this view. To enjoy the benefits of status, compensation and, to a certain extent, flexibility, one has to reach the level of professor. After failing to reach this level at 40, I switched to software development, without ever regretting it.

A while ago I saw a position for image recognition in astronomy advertised by the university of my town. It sounded all very exciting for someone who enjoys figuring out solutions for a complex task -- until I looked up the pay grade: Less than half of my current hourly rate, without the flexibility I have (working from everywhere I want, even pre-Covid). Well, the problem seems to be that a competitive salary for a software engineer would probably have to be higher than for the professor leading the group.

As an aside, I recently had a discussion with a friend in my country's military about the cyber defence forces wanting to recruit software engineers. There is a similar problem here: if they do not use contractors (whom they can pay what they ask for), they have difficulty finding an appropriate pay grade, since a well-qualified software engineer would have to be paid better than a general.
I put Amazon referral links on my technical blog whenever it's a hardware project. So far I have made < $5 on it so I should probably remove them. But for others I think it helps justify the time I spent writing up the blog and doing the project.

I don't get where you are going. Supply and demand being the same does not depend on the reaction of people. They are the same because they measure the same thing.
While their current focus is on badges and rewards using tokens, I see other possible directions for this product that could transform the opensource landscape. The founders seem to be looking at this direction in the mid-to-long term as per a comment on ProductHunt.

The early contributors to an Open source project often go unrewarded when it becomes a commercial hit.

Cases in point - Mongo, Hadoop (Hortonworks), Memsql, etc. started out with a good amount of community support, and later went on to becoming commercial successes. While they recognized a lot of the contributors through various programs, and sometimes hired them in, the others who didn't join their journey full time might not have benefited.

Many other companies start with a "Develop in the open" philosophy now, despite being VC backed from early stages - cases in point Meteor, Gitlab, Appsmith, etc. The community engagement is slightly on the lower side once the project is well staffed. The motivation seems to go down.

What if the contributors could have a pie of the company? A very small pie that is proportional to the importance of the feature or bug fix at that point in time. But, as the company grows, the value of the pie grows. Just like an ESOP, or any token. Could say a project set aside 20% of their enterprise value as tokens, and use them as rewards to drive their roadmap with the community? Higher the importance, higher the bounty. That could change the dynamics around OSS contributions, which are currently driven more by the interest of the contributor more than the importance of a feature or a fix to the project.

I see Aviyel could also potentially drive such a shift.

Not actually true, to be clear, for outlets. Yes, the majority are allowed to be 15 amp circuits, however there are a few circuits (notably, ones in the kitchen) that by code (any recent code, NEC 2007 or beyond I think) that mandate that they be 20 amp circuits.

Notably:

* Kitchens must have at least two separate 20 amp circuits (for use for small appliances on countertops, traditionally) for general use

* Fridges need a dedicated 20 amp circuit

* Microwaves need a dedicated 20 amp circuit

Beyond that, yeah, absolute minimum is 15 amp throughout the house.
THIS. In my homelab, I spent roughly a day cutting services over from Docker-Compose to Kubernetes. That day included writing the Helm templates for everything, bootstrapping three bare metal nodes with a hypervisor (Proxmox), clustering said hypervisor for HA on its own isolated network, making images and then installing K3OS onto six VMs across the three nodes (3+3 control plane/worker), installing and configuring persistent distributed storage (Longhorn) with backups to a ZFS pool as an NFS target (Debian VM configured via Packer + Ansible), configuring MetalLB, and smoke testing everything.

A day's work for one person to accomplish that isn't bad, IMO, but what that doesn't capture is the literal weeks I spent poring over documentation, trying things, running tests, learning what didn't work (Rook + Ceph is a nightmare), and so on. I went so far the day before the cutover as to recreate my homelab in Digital Ocean and run through the entire installation process.

Having services that magically work is hard. Having a golden path so you can create a new one with a few clicks is even harder.
