I actually worked for a company pre-pandemic that had this epiphany and almost went fully remote just based on cost. The reason they didn't was because there were people who couldn't work from home for family reasons and some who didn't want to.

We may find that being able to work remotely becomes a commodity the employee can offer the employer. As it's certainly still true that working from home doesn't fit everyone and we still haven't solved that I don't think. Renters can't build on an office they don't have for one example, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect an employee to work from their living room. But maybe co-working spaces will become more popular for the edge cases.
Not at all. We now have access to a waste universe of information. The trick is to filter out the noise. For example, I am watching talks on YouTube by world class experts in metabolism from the comfort of my own home. Without the internet, I would have to fly to another country to watch talks at that level of quality. However there are also a waste number of pseudo-science videos on YouTube. So you have to carefully filter out the signal from the noise. It’s a bit annoying but absolutely worth it.

Eh, the demand shifted to more rural areas with the remote work shift, so nation wide the trend didn’t change much.

Changes in interest rates will be quite visible there, unless millions of people get ‘snapped’ and their houses remain intact anyway.
When I am in a period of intensive writing, I recall my dreams at a higher than normal rate. The dreams also feel more layered than normal dreams, although I recognize that this is not quite knowable. I will often record these dreams as part of keeping my literary diaries. My most compelling narratives are dreamlike, in that their composition borrows a structure from the mere recording of dreams. These narratives feel like dry land dreaming that, like dry land training for skating, allows me to dial in on the technical aspects of the very fluid experience that is dreaming.

This connection between dreaming and writing is of great interest to me. I am somewhat surprised that my most compelling writing was not inspired directly by any dream that I remember. The phenomenon of the one and the other are that similar. A kind of background hallucination can be intuited when writing fiction. In my experience, these hallucinations indicate that the writing has attained a degree of formal completion. I observe the characters of my story as though they were made of clay and also diminutive. Why clay? I am unsure, but I think it has to do with this clay’s yielding but inelastic quality.
based on my experiences dealing with this, facebook and instagram absolutely let you fine-tune your notifications, account-wide, with a surprising degree of control. Twitter didn't last time I checked. No other social media I use consistently has the problem
I don't know, I've worked with tiny startups and bigger companies like Red Hat, and huge banks, and GSuite is very widely used. The biggest corps don't seem to use it, but I definitely don't think it's only used in a small insular bubble
We have that (well, only 11h minimum gaps, one free day per week, and jail only for recklessly endangering worker health by violating limitations (and maybe for falsifying documents like time sheets?)) in Germany. Though we cap the average workload at 48h, over any IIRC 3-month window, with shifts capped at 10 hours with sizable breaks once 6h are exceeded.
If Apple or Google really cared about their users, this is the kind of thing they'd ban, not third-party payment processors.
> I should buy antibiotics for my kid without waiting four, five hours to be seen and processed

Disagree. Antibiotics should not be taken lightly, especially by kids. Doctors have been far too liberal in prescribing them even when unnecessary and this has caused people to think antibiotics are to be taken like vitamins.

This antibiotic abuse causes issues that are out of scope to discuss here.
I'm pretty sure the average American will be dead long before any of this meaningfully affects their lives in a concrete way.
People who are very online, and generally left, they create the social pressures needed on people who are otherwise uninvolved to take interest in things they might not.

I've been caught in the crossfire and had various distant parts of my social network try to vote me off the island at some point for one reason or another, they usually come back when the moment moves on - but not always.
> I LAUGH at silly FUD like "you can't run a business without MSOffice", "You can't read documents ", "format compatibility problems!!", because that all is just FUD.

Not really a FUD if you're dealing with Excel spreadsheets from other companies, especially those that uses integrations with Excel. However PowerPoint/Present compat is a hit-or-miss bother but not world-shuttering like with Excel though, and Word compatibility is actually okay except when dealing with weirder documents that is also fragile with different Word versions.
Same here. The little extra time I spend on the road trip we make twice or three times a year to grandma's house is more than offset by the 10 minutes a week I don't spend putting gas in. I never want to give up home fueling.
Cool thanks, that makes sense! In my head I was thinking the diff from 2 to 4 would be something like "x += 2, y += 5", and 3 to 6 would be "x += 3, y += 0"... which of course wouldn't be idempotent and wouldn't allow you to apply the update to different client states.
While I don't think that it happens any more, you used to be able to do that using the same version of desktop Office apps, but a different default printer (not in print preview, just regular editing with a different default printer set.)

> Or, that the best thing to improve your employability is adopting a typically white female name?

- I don't think that would actually work that well.

- Suggesting people should reasonably pretend to be white to get employment basically concedes that the game is broken, and it's kind of offensive to boot.

- While women may get (barely) more callbacks, I think we have filters earlier in life that make them less likely to end up with tech work; and we have filters later in life that tend to lower their economic compensation.
This will have a lot of unintended dystopian consequences too. Rich people won't care or notice how much power they use when but poor people will be strongly impacted and have to spend disproportionately more of their time managing electricity usage. I'm ok paying a few extra cents so that the old lady down the road doesn't have to wonder whether or not she can afford to make tea now or she should wait until 1am.
> What i want to know is who benefited from the crypto-run on luna.

Literally everyone who sold first, that is, the $hundreds of $millions of dollars that were sold on Saturday, May 7th, as described in this article.

That's the thing about bank-runs. The *first* person to sell benefits. As the whole community slowly realizes what is going on, they all rush to sell at the same time. This causes the death spiral.
Right. Half of Git's strength is that it's ubiquitous with an unmatched community of users. Nearly every development tool is built to integrate.

An scm can be better, some probably are, but it won't match these other traits.
There was always a style drop-down in the toolbar. My experience goes back to Word for Windows (named thusly to differentiate it from the DOS version). Check it out: https://www.idgcdn.com.au/article/images/750x750/dimg/m_img_...

It's the management and use of styles that I find has regressed drastically. When I press the Style drop-down, I want to see only MY styles. I don't want to scroll through a shitload of canned styles that Microsoft has laden the application with, featuring every variety of color and thickness of underline. The last time I tried Word (not that long ago), there was no way to get rid of this huge pile of crap.

Word peaked at version 6, I think. Is there anything important missing from this toolbar? https://www.versionmuseum.com/images/applications/microsoft-...
You charge it yourself. There’s no attendants at any chargers I’ve been to.
It once again comes down to the fact that we are the product, not the customer. In this article, Devin Booker is the customer.

Also, after reading many comments with suggestions and hacks to work around this (which I also do, btw), I think we may be missing the point, our time is valuable, and if we've all just spent half a day figuring out how to get the proper applications from a single app on our phone, we've already paid the price - and it's not right.
My apartment complex already has chargers. Eventually most or all will.
Hopefully the visit will not coincide with an epic fire, in which case it will indeed feel like a hellscape.

Theres actually no legal limit to the noise level. I found it pretty terrifying when I discovered that.
This is further evidence that "dreams" aren't actually being recalled, but instead that people wake up with their brains in an inconsistent state and rationalize how their brains came to be in that state. Creativity enables us to create detailed rationalizations.
It's mandatory to support in IPv6 so the only thing lacking in the general population's mind is a convincing enough reason for people to force it for every connection which will cause a lot of breakage due to the aforementioned middleboxes. But if you can convince that there's nothing about existing IPv6 implementation that would prevent it from working as described today.

Switching to IPvX would be the same problem as convincing people to always encrypt with IPv6 just amplified as there is 0 hardware with existing support for such a protocol and IPv6 has had a 20 years head start on rollout that would be wiped away. It'd have the added "bonus" of being even harder to pitch adoption for since "NAT on IPv4 is working fine" and you'd still have to wait for those people THEN the IPv6 people to migrate.

Meanwhile things like QUIC, HTTP/3, and TCPLS give all the same advantages as migrating to the hypothetical IPvX without breaking when they run into middleboxes. Just think of it as IPvX but with a wider header field than you were planning. After all you'll still need some header that tells the network where to deliver the packet then the encrypted payload it's just that that dumb destination header uses more bits than it needs to if it were designed fresh.
My guess is that your GPU is rendering everything. Install the proprietary drivers and enable hybrid graphics mode in the BIOS. Mine was the same way. Nice and quiet now and battery life is nearly twice as good.
I always find this to be a weird statement, primarily because I think there are like 50 other things that are waaay more difficult when it comes to software development, but I hear people time and again say git has a big learning curve.

I mean, once I understood the major concepts of git, and understood how its model was fundamentally different from something like svn or cvs, it wasn't that hard to use it. Sure, it took time to learn, but given that it's a tool so integral to my working life, I'm fine with spending a little more time learning it if it makes me more productive in the long run.

> Hybrids have so many more parts needed, that I feel like they will simply have more problems long term.

Hybrids are well tested technology. Both Toyota and Honda have been producing hybrids for over 20-25 years now. We had a Prius that worked flawlessly for over 250K miles, before it had to be retired when its catalytic converter was stolen.
It's been a while since I had to deal with windows registries. I thought the registry had ACL's so that you could hide entries from a regular user. Is that not the case? Or not the case with Defender? Or is everyone logged in as an administrator?
Sounds interesting, although it's one of those which really probably ought to include "in mice" in the title.

Still, there's so much progress being made in health stuff generally. Makes me optimistic about my older years.
There’s also network effects, companies slight provide some things as a loss leader to other things, so the cost of A doesn’t mean A is all the company needs to charge to remain in business if their model uses A’s profits to support B etc.
> Everyone who owns a charger, most likely in a garage, attached to a single-family home is != everyone.

The majority of people in the US live in single family detached homes. While there are a significant number of people living in apartments or condos, we have a long ways to go before that's going to limit adoption.

> most homes don’t have an electric charger

Every home has 120V sockets, and installing a 14-50 isn't cost prohibitive given how much you save in the first year alone compared to gasoline. The average person could charge every day with a bog standard 120V outlet and be fine. 14-50 is nice when you go on a road trip and want to recover full charge by the next morning, though.

Am I crazy or are all of these pretty far off?

(1) Relations between China and the US aren't great but it's far from a cold war and even farther from a hot one.

(2) This is a bit wishy washy with the word "expected" but technology has transformed the economy and the world.

(3) Is accurate but had basically already happened by 1997. The transfer of public assets to oligarchs happened 95 to 96

(4) Way off. You can sort of squint at Brexit and say it's true, but besides that set back Europe has been on a steady path of integration.

(5) Way off. No famines and no major price increases attributable to climate change.

(6) Is close. We saw terrorism but I don't know that we've "pulled back in fear"

(7) Not even close to an overwhelming increase in cancer

(8) Not even close to a huge increase in energy prices and alternatives look close to replacing completely.

(9) Had a pandemic but not that deadly.

(10) Progress continues.
I’d encourage comment OP to continue writing comments online, so that you can learn. The damage done in misinformation here is probably extremely limited.

If comment OP was trying to misinform on purpose, it’s a different story as there’s no opportunity for improvement there.

Lots of parts of the US already have time-of-day electricity rates.
> is that US investors have a higher risk appetite than those in most other OECD economies

Certainly here in the UK and certainly upto the mid 00's, if someone ended up bankrupt their life was over, blocked from credit in most cases, massively high interest rates in the future if they could get credit, the lenders certainly got their pound of flesh so it wasnt worth feeding the parasites, the population became risk averse.

The other problem is the Class system, something Royalty holds onto dearly, and what some euphemistically call the old boys network, but it keeps people in their place so the [European] Caste system acts as a drag on the economy.

> 3. What is the relation between high creativity and high intelligence?

When asked "Which, nature or nurture, contributes more to personality?", psychologist Donald Hebb famously replied "Which contributes more to the area of a rectangle, its length or its width?" [1]

I'm no psychologist, but I'd imagine you'd find the relation between creativity and intelligence in the same context is similarly orthoganal.

Yeah it's a great post, except for the part where he counter signals himself while trying to have his cake and eat it too. Then again, I guess it was written a couple of years before all the rebels got shit tested by lockdowns.
well, aphorism only goes so far in describing reality effectively instead of pithily.

So two notes:

if everyone is always telling you how great you are you would probably still be full of yourself.

if you are great at something that means you are good at it, perhaps the great also tell everyone how good they are, although in my experience they just let you know they know it without being so gauche as to have to mention it all the time.

It depends on the user and how they use Outlook. Microsoft’s tools for managing email are hot garbage for folks who get alot of mail.

But… many folks don’t understand how to use GMail effectively with things like labels, and Google lacks alot of the things that users rely on. (Drag and drop of messages into messages, folder structure, lack of message view, etc)

Unless you have a know how to be a good Gmail user, you’re gonna miss messsages.

In the long run, Outlook is in the middle of a long re-engineering process and will probably be better for it. Google definitely underinvests in their products… perhaps the webifying of Outlook will drive change there.
Companies that insist on employees working in the office will simply be less competitive than companies that are WFH flexible. A large percentage of experienced developers will not apply for jobs that are inflexible. So inflexible companies might end up with employees who don’t have any other choices.

Or you could answer whether insurance is rent seeking that's parasitic on society. I don't know the details so could be wrong, but if insurance is mandated by government and supplied by an oligopoly, it's fees don't necessarily reflect the actual risk involved. It's easy to see comparisons of different health/car insurance costs across jurisdictions to see that.
$ of loot box / drop chance = value of asset
It seems intuitively unsurprising that health insurance claims are not a reasonable source of information for epidemiology, but it's still interesting to see an attempt to examine that scientifically.

Even the government and etc sources probably have some level of outside biases in reporting, although looking at diseases other than covid which are less in the public eye probably helps with this some.
I'm not positive that a hybrid is actually that much more complicated than a traditional drive train with an engine + automatic transmission.
The more I'm interested in my dreams and the more of them I write down the more of them I recall. But since all that writing and analyzing takes a long time, I rarely do it anymore, so I don't recall many dreams, but I'm still pretty creative.
The first time I filled up in Oregon after moving into the state, the attendant pulled the nozzle out of my truck while it was still filling up. Gas all over my truck and the ground. The manager came up and apologized, saying it was his first day on the job. The kid was probably still in high school, and the first day he ever had to fill a car up.

And there I was sitting in my truck realizing I had about over 25 years "job" experience for what this kid was doing, and I had never done that.

> If people were using electric cars with similarly distributed infrastructure that took 1/2 hour or more to charge, it would be impossible to go anywhere.

This is a good point. The charging infrastructure seems to be ok to support EV requirements right now (I don’t think I have ever seen a charging station full), but with EV purchases increasing at some point this could be a problem. Without more infrastructure you have to resort to time limits to serve the need. This would be a problem.
Managers who can’t manage people unless they are in a specific geographical locations every day should be fired for incompetency. I am dead serious. Management is about outcome not activity.

How can you process production requests without the matching data? Processing a user with UUID X taking action Y depends on those things existing in the DB.

I can't tell if this is brilliant or insane. Brilliant in that I see the potential of catching bugs. Insane in that you'd need to be really really really sure that the environment the requests are diverted to can't change production data. Including sending out e-mails or other communciations.
> No one here could understand how to combine rudimentary image processing in such a way as to track a moving object over time?

You make it sound easy, I don't know why those 10 authors even wasted their time publishing this. It reminds me of a joke about getting grants, you show someone your proposal and they'll tell you it's a bad idea and will never work, you show them your work after a few years and they'll tell you the results are obvious and everyone already knew.

I didn't tell him it's impossible, I said it requires a lot of work beyond scripting and specifically listed some of the aspects of the work that are easier to get into.

Of course they could get a job doing it, that would involve spending 8 hours a day working on the topic and doing all the things I described. You word it like you're disagreeing with me but go on to list skill after skill that's required to actually achieve this. A bachelor of science alone is three years of studies, data science and image processing are very specialized scientific skill-sets that take a long time to acquire. I've seen plenty of people take a 6-months bootcamp who are barely able to manipulate a matrix at the end. Knowing which datasets and problems to work on requires a scientific culture which you acquire by reading the literature, not just googling. Combining all these skills into an idea that results into a quality publishable scientific output is a job and it requires as much work as any job does.

By all means, let people do the work and contribute if it's interesting to them, but everyone here feels the same way when we see a paper come through here in which they "just" combine some Hough transforms and some observations "oh I could have done that." It doesn't work that way.
I've been fortunate enough that the canned styles have worked for my requirements but I can definitely see how they won't work for every case.
