No, it’s from Elon to his ExecStaff distribution list informing them of a policy change. They’re to execute and he will personally review exceptions. This means expectations for Tesla are now you work from an office or Elon must personally approve the exception.
Indeed.

Why shouldn't there be a binding UN convention that enforces work from home where possible to save us from climate change?
Seems fair enough for the execs

I was surprised he missed mega.nz, unless I misread his requirements.
It’s interesting. Would a hardware company like Atari, or Apple, succeed if all the execs were fully remote? My gut feeling tells me no.
> you can have periods where you're not anxious and periods where you are not

I'd say in that case there's not much to worry about ;)
>I wouldn’t be where I am if remote work was the norm

why not? It's probably just as likely you wouldn't be where you are if your several pivotal points in life went only slightly different.
> I'm not saying France doesn't have power from gas. I'm saying that the reason we have gas plants is completely unrelated to nuclear.

According to this line of thought we prefer gas over nuclear. This is not true: on an economic perspective and also emission-wise nuclear + hydro is a better tandem. However it cannot fully cope and needs 'backup', which is nowadays mainly gas turbines in powerplants.

Why, in your opinion, do we need to use those gas turbines?

Right now https://www.rte-france.com/eco2mix shows 9% gas, and everyone can check that it is a quite common figure: https://www.rte-france.com/eco2mix/la-production-delectricit...

> The article you quote does say the opposite

No, your quote means "nuclear can be used", it is true and I don't deny it: I showed limits (stated in the very same document), meaning that nuclear follow-up cannot be done "at will", and also that other non-desirable (but more flexible) sources (gas) are in use. Why are they in use, if not in order to compensate nuclear's limits? Why do we need fossil fuel for power generation?
I've heard various iterations of this philosophy over the years: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-it-can-pay-to-buy-the-...
I've worked at a top research university for the past 15 years as a research software engineer. Many of these comments have some truth but a lot are definitely not universally true.

Poor compensation: Yup, I'll cop to that. I could be making way more in "industry" but I make enough to live and I don't build ad-ware and do take pride in my work.

Being a PhD but little respect: I actually have the opposite experience. I'm not a PhD, I don't even have a Masters. But I can write decent software and I get respect and recognition from my PIs and other top-tier faculty that we've collaborated with. I feel like I've gotten just as much respect with my humble BS in Comp Sci from a state school than if I got a MS/PhD.

Micromanagement: I have the total opposite experience. I've worked with the same group for a long time, maybe that changes things. We apply for and receive grants to work on projects. We make high-level assertions for what we will do during the course of the grant and our PI gives us lots of lee-way to meet the goals of the grant in whatever technical way gets results, is FAIR, and open. Granted, I may have just lucked out here.
Shit happens, indeed. The question is what recourse there is when shit happens. Usually, one would contact the company and figure things out with a support rep, if the company is any good. In facebook's case, that's virtually impossible. And that is pretty much by design.

Great concept, but the obscurity of the terminology at times will make this....trying. Plus, it does not appear to validate words nor automatically fill out variants. For me, this was fun until I got past guess 200 or so.
Pretty cool if it becomes a therapy that is generally available to people.

Not sure I like the "he said it was traumatic" part though.
I don't think scientists want research software engineers. PIs typically like to assume any and every role on a project, including software design. They don't like handing things off and letting people build modern, best practices software. You start talking about source code control, package managers, a language used in industry that they've never even heard of and don't care enough to learn about, etc., and you just get asked "why can't you just write it in Python or C because those are the only two things I'm remotely familiar with and zip it up and put it on a USB drive?". Heaven forbid you actually want to do something novel, no matter how enabling it could be. I have been continually inspired by Bret Victor's Seeing Spaces talk and have always wanted to build such a system described for a lab, but unfortunately, it was really hard to get anyone interested much less excited by such an idea. Scientists are far more institutionalized, conservative, and myopic than they admit. Physicists don't even use the proper word for code. They call it "codes". (I've seen in first-hand, in research papers, and in published books. It's endemic.)

I've literally sat in meetings trying to get access to scientific projects I'm interested in and applied for jobs even at the university I already worked at in similar capacities, and yet, it's filled with PIs just wanting grunt labor (i.e., what they're used to from graduate students) to build things that they understand or you absolutely never hear back or the pay is a third of what you already make. And then there's pockets of software people in this niche world that only want to do things their way, because that's all they've ever done, and they can really be quite obstinate. They're like this massive pillar you must somehow work around.

I really, really, really like writing software in scientific contexts, but it's such a quagmire. I'd like to return to that world some day with the lessons I've learned outside of it. Software in support of an interesting domain or context is just really fun. I've also tried getting a job at an architecture firm that had some very neat ideas for building out a tool, but the response was basically the same as described above.
LoL. Whose gets to decide "possible"?

Two Pax Americana timescale elements:

- Technological progress has increased worldwide interdependence, to the point of destroying resilience. The world is one vulnerable system now to a much larger extent than any time in the past. Think Ukrainian grain exports to the North Africa. Hundreds of millions have grown to rely on that. Hardly even technologically possible 100 years ago.

- Physical limitations to economic growth. Technological progress has made humans increasingly expert at exploiting natural resources on an ever larger scale. The same cannot be said of management of negative externalities. In other words, we can probably manage peak oil. Peak water? Less so. Global warming? Do you see a way out of that?
Indeed that is possible, the problem is all the greedy corporations that want to suck all our data, so they can't simply trust the signed messages of Metamask and want instead to implement layers of poor software for their profit
Well for starters, the moment (nearly) all other nations dictate the laws of your country, you no longer have a country – and certainly not a democratic one. Your elections become irrelevant because people in distant lands (including those with tyrannical governments) can simply overrule the will of your people.

Codifying the long-term destruction of your own nation into law for the sake of a single issue is a bad idea.
lol, yes, sure. But why don't you sound horrified?

Version control at least is essential for something of any size with any number of people working on it. You must be able to "revert" a set of changes quickly and reliably if the application has any importance at all.
this is a direct application of fluid mechanics, such as navier stokes for the optimal length of the oar, the shape of the paddle, etc.
Same. I am just not good with remote work. Slack (our org is massive) and staying up to date with so many things async is stressing, and I honestly miss having my coworkers around. As a single 20s guy, I had fun in the office and was able to create strong connections with my team.

Now everything is just boring, dull and disconnected. I feel like a worker drone just going from task to task, trying to balance slack in the mix to not get left behind. There are other people in the company or my team, but I don't connect with them. They could equally be NPCs.

Same as you, I am also very worried about not being able to advance in my career any further if things continue the way they do

How many accounts per year do you think are hacked this way? How many accounts per year do you think are hacked in other ways? Facebook has a finite amount of engineering effort, and the effort they put in to stopping hacks probably goes toward things they expect will prevent a large amount of hacks.
As an amateur musician, having played in different sitiuations, eye contact with the conductor or drum major is important. Professionals can probably do all of this without a conductor on stage but when things start to fall apart and go out of sync, it's kind of a weird feeling. You have to force yourself to go deaf and play the music in time with the conductor's gestures until you're back in sync again. If you don't go deaf you will end up playing in time to the people around, you who may or may not be in sync with the conductor.
> For #4, this is actually frustratingly difficult, but if your constraints are not adding to the complexity, your best bet is to not, and just set your cookies to the domain. But if you like, one approach that would work: - Cert with SAN - CNAME's on the CF distribution - S3 Bucket And the sneaky bit: Use a cloudfront lambda to redirect "wrong" Hosts - comes with a cost, but it's super marginal.

The topic has become highly political because other people going to the office or speaking positively about offices threatens remote work for the rest.

Same thing that happened with masks, no one was ok with someone else choosing differently because the bigger group would force their way over the smaller group.

This looks like a mix of narcissism (yes, feeling a looser is one of possible manifestations) and adhd, but don’t take it seriously - im not a psychiatrist.

What I believe you _should_ take seriously is to find a decent professional who can thoroughly examine you (including blood tests etc) and proper diagnose you. Not just drug you out based on couple conversations with you.

$350 is basically free in terms of skilled technician time to solve a problem that requires any non-trivial amount of investigation. You're devaluing the labor and thinking only in terms of the raw materials.

From experience, modern Lenovo laptops are significantly more annoying to take apart than the Framework, because the Framework uses magnets instead of plastic clips like Lenovo does. Lenovo has also moved towards soldered memory in their Thinkpads, with the X series having entirely soldered RAM and the T series having one slot available (so the user has to choose between having dual-channel RAM and having more RAM), while the Framework has two slots so this isn't an issue. Lenovo's parts site often has parts back-ordered for at least a month, and I have received counterfeit parts from buying off of eBay.

Just curious, have you sampled many robotics companies? I have worked with dozens and it seems like there are some with well-balanced power dynamics between mechanical-electrical-software.
Yeah but that's not how statistics work. 20 concords isn't a large enough sample size to pull statistically signifigant conclusions from.

Furthermore, the crash you reference was not a result of a design flaw or the "suoersonic-ness" of Concorde but a combination of human error (they took off too heavy for the conditions) and an accidental strike of an object on the runway left by the previous (Boeing) plane.

It's no doubt that several of the accidents you reference in your stats are design flaws, it only takes one to make it worse than the concords perfect record (excluding the one crash because it was a combination of human error and failure of another plane). So in reality, adjusting for non-design related failures, the concord has a better safety record than any other commercial airliner.
> if I'd want static types I'd be using one of the many static typed languages out there.

Some of us want to have the concurrency and resilience of the BEAM with ADTs for data modelling and other static type advantages.

Caramel, gleam and purerl are worthy efforts in this direction. A more production ready half-ass alternative is to use elixir with whatever type advantages you can get.

> Being successful is not about being smart or competent.

An interesting perspective, but I suspect that you're using "likeability" as a cynical proxy for how well a person works in a team.

A person with an exceptional personality that motivates their entire team to work harder is likely infinitely more valuable to the employer than a more individualistic employee that might be exceptional when compared to any individual employee but still severely underperforms compared to a motivated team. Should the employer be compelled to pick the later just because they are smarter and more competent?

The problem with using PK cryptography is that if you lose your keys, you'd be locked out.

Then we would probably have other key schemes M-of-N etc or social proof to compensate for the problems with single-key PK, which then has other problems.
Given that there is no legally required severance, couldn't companies just fire large groups of people. I thought paying people during a layoff was just a morale booster for those who remain anyway, so a thinly disguised layoff benefits no one.
