> it's almost certainly true that overall work will go down (because efficiency will not go up enough to compensate for the loss of work time)

That might be true, or it might not. It depends on how much efficiency goes up and how much buffer time people has, right? In many jobs people spene a non-trivial amount of time reading news, or in FB/Twitter/etc, so it def can be true that removing one hour of news+twitter yields the same productivity.
>> And people that work 40 hours should get more than those that work 32 hours.

This is not how it works currently. You get paid your salary and are expected to do a minimum number of hours + any more reasonably required. You don't get extra for those extra hours in a salaried job so I don't see why you would if they reduced the hours required.
Sadly, they actively refused to work on mining IIRC. I think it’s what’s making me the more mad (and sad) really. They’re willing to work on stuff that don’t matter at best/make thing worse depending on PoV (because in all honesty imposing a specific plug does not matter, the market had _already_ chosen USB-C), but working on stuff that would actually do good, that they won’t.
Any large profitable public companies doing this? These guys raised $56M less than a year ago. Just curious who has proved the concept is sustainable without burning VC money.

Hopefully the limitations around expressions in JS will go away at some point and JS will become properly expression orientated. There are already proposals for this, although they currently seem to be stalled.
Once you know your master pass phrase in Bitwarden + email you can get back in. Providing of course you don’t enable 2FA, which could lock you out if your Yubikey gets destroyed. Bitwarden has an ‘attachments’ feature so you can upload the QR code seed image used to setup TOTP so you can set up all your TOTP accounts again in an authenticator app in a worst case scenario.
Unless people are machines, it's incorrect to strictly equate hours with productivity. What actually happens is there is quite a bit of slack time in the typical day. Going to 4 days/week is applying a forcing function[1] to remove some of this slack time and given it back to employees.

I think a better question is how much of this slack time is necessary to reach the current productivity levels, and how much is just...slack?

[1] There are a lot of anecdote stories where people have a kid which limits their available time, and suddenly they are more productive than they have ever been during that small time window and get their startup off the ground etc...
I live in Sweden and have never hard of any company doing a four day week. The closest I get is one of my first jobs which had a 37.5 hour week (rather than the customary 40 hours) but again, spread out over five days.

That said, some of the last few weeks at the time of writing have in practise turned out to be four day weeks due to public holidays. Could this be what causes the confusion?
If it's going down to a pettiness war, I don't think the legislators will give up that easily.

Apple reacting in a petty way not only shows that the legislators were right on the money (while adapting shows they were forced, whether for good or bad) but gives them even more reason to push the buttons further.

Digital Markets Act is definitely getting more fuel and attention after Apple's petty response to ACM's complaints in the Netherlands. [1]

Kindergarten teachers, as people who can have significant positive or negative impact, are bound by codes of ethics and practice.

This is also true of almost every other area of human effort, whether implicit or explicit. As a catch-all baseline, we have the various legal systems.

The fact that a significant proportion of the tech industry refuses point-blank to even discuss the idea of ethics is not a sign of superiority but immaturity.

"That will just make it more difficult to make fakes."

Yes that's kind of the point. Plus I'm sure they could put the whole camera in a tamper resistant case. They could make it very difficult to access the sensor.

Including focus data should make "record a screen" a bit harder too. I guess recording a projection would be pretty hard to detect, but how likely is it that people would go to those lengths, vs using a simple deep fake tool?
Given that it took more than a decade, I'm just glad they didn't go with FireWire 400.

Hmm, I think a long time ago (around 2005 or 2006) JSX was briefly considered to be party of ES standard. It didn't make it, and shortly after FB introduced React.

Think it may have being easier if JSX is just included in ES as a standard. So yes and no, JSX introduced by FB via react is a just a syntax sugar, however the original JSX is a meant to be a ES standard, with each node as a tree structure.

Somehow Dell XPS can do thin bezels without having to resort to a notch.
Calling it a scam is completely inaccurate, scams rely on people not being aware (on some level) of what they're signing up for, and on people making promises they don't intend to keep. Here it is perfectly clear what everyone's getting.

Tons of people would prefer a 4-day in-office work week over a 5-day remote work week. You may not, but there are many who do.
Just pick a couple of those USB-C docks on the market and check how many are actually working for you. I used over 10 different USB-C docks from different vendors. It doesn't matter which vendor, they all have various issues. They might be perfectly fine for some machines but lots lots of troubles for some other machines which are also perfectly fine with some of the other docks. I have never seen something worse than that.

My father-in-law picked up his wife’s medication (narcotics) the day after she died from cancer. Just going through the motions… arrested and charged with fraud.

He’s still waiting on his court date, nearly four years later. Thank god he was allowed to post bail, go to his wife’s funeral, and live his life while he waits. His daughter who was in the car was also charged just for being in the car (she had no idea what was going on), and denied bail. She wasn’t allowed to come to the funeral.

There were several points at which someone could have said “dude, I’m really sorry, but you know your wife passed away yesterday?” Not a single person did that in that small town.

I guess the point is, even if you can prove it was someone else, or that you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, you can spend years in jail just waiting to tell a judge.
> You get paid your salary and are expected to do a minimum number of hours + any more reasonably required.

This is a geographically limited factoid, and even then lots of companies do pay overtime. But in those cases where they do not: I always wonder how those companies would respond if I treated them the way they treat their employees.

> You don't get extra for those extra hours in a salaried job so I don't see why you would if they reduced the hours required.

Because it is fair.
In other words, another management team fails to understand that many of the best software engineers work most effectively in silence, and on their own for large periods of time, and that this is best done at home.

Land costs are a sunk cost as I said. If it's too expensive to build skyscrapers then it will make sense to build midrise. If it's not too expensive to build skyscrapers then it will make sense to build skyscrapers. There's no scenario where "it's upzoned so we'd better leave it empty instead of building midrise" makes any kind of sense.
It was the best weather API I've ever used, for a few reason:

1. Pricing. It was affordable and straight-forward pricing. There wasn't a huge "tier bump" - I think it was like a flat fee per 1000 requests after the free alotment.

2.You always could expect the same response, regardless of location or date. You could get an hourly forecast 3 years into the future, or 20 years in the past. Most other weather API will give you hourly only from "now" into the next few days. Or you can get daily for the next ten days or something like that. So you had to build logic around into your app. With DarkSky I got the same response no matter the day, time, or location. So it was much simpler to deal with.

3. Accuracy. I was always amazed at how accurate it was.

> it's very strange [...] why it's only specifically 'public blockchains' and not all blockchains both 'public' AND 'private'?

There is nothing objectionable with private blockchains (except maybe the hype). They are permissioned, and don't need PoW. As such they're just another data structure: an append-only distributed database that certain people can append to (like git).

It is neither wasting energy, nor a scam, nor an unregulated mechanism to move/launder money.

>> I'd rather walk to the lake and go for a swim during the afternoon, than walk to a train to walk to an office.

This requires some degree of motivation. When you had to go to the office you were forced to get dressed, get outside and travel etc. When you are WFH it is so tempting to get up late, get online, and stay comfortable. This is true even when you know what you are doing is unhealthy. It's similar to people eating a poor diet. They know they're doing it, they know it's bad, but it's hard to do the right thing (even when the right thing is relatively easy to do).

I say this as someone who loves WFH but also has fallen into a lot of bad habits that have definitely impacted my physical/mental health.

This is a very good example of vulnerability introduced by badly organized security system. One does not keep backup access codes in places which are unavailable in case of a failure of primary access methods. Store your 2FAs in a separate phone kept in a SAFE, a combination to which you do remember. Also, adding 2FA to a password manager is probably excessive, just use a really long password which is easy to remember. Like "HowOn5EarthsCanAPersonForgetHisPazzw0rdToPasswordManager?", that'll be enough.

People can (and have) said the same thing about gold for thousands of years. The evidence is in, cryptocurrency is some sort of asset. It is unclear how big the crypto market is, but at this point it seems a safe bet after the last decade that there there is enough interest to sustain a billion dollar market in cryptocurrency even under the most pessimistic of scenarios. It is probably going to be quite a bit bigger.

The next real question is how to value it. That'll take a recession to figure out by clearing out the scams, but it'll become clear in time.

Two-factor authentication terrifies me.

For my bank from my country of origin that I maintain, I get a battery-powered RSA token. From that I can generate a mobile 2FA token in an app that I can use to log in for day-to-day transaction. If I lose the devices with the 2FA token, I have to pray that that CR2032 is still alive or I lose access to that account until I spend thousands of dollars on international flights (replacing the battery resets the device)

This is one of my great fears. I'm a nomad and all my possessions are in two bags I carry around with me from country to country. It's much easier for this to happen to me.

Not sure what the solution is?

In the past I've tucked away a piece of paper with recover codes on it at a family members house. So in such an emergency I could call them up and tell them where it is.

I should really do that again.
I do this.

But I also enable 2FA and store the seed for that publicly... on the internet. Just without any context at all as to what it does.

By itself the 2FA seed is useless. You need to know what it does, and you also need the email (it's not my public email) and the password (which is very strong).

I also have a set of plain instructions that my partner has explaining how to Bitwarden and access all the things if needed, including how to use a 2FA app, etc.

As a brit where at least 3rd party insurance is a legal requirement,I consider that everyone should be fully comp. It's not just your car you're damaging, it's likely another car and potentially legal fees and loss of earnings.

Even if insurance went optional I'd still go fully comp, as the cost of a new car is not what I need if I'm already financially struggling due to injury
Cables, not chargers.

Your chargers are USB-A, and you can make them usable with an A-to-C cable.

There are no chargers with micro-USB output port (USB never specified such thing). Micro-USB has been designed to make cables essentially disposable (and not meant to be hardwired into any device), because the more robust side of the connector is in the device's port, and the fragile side is in the cable.

Yes, correct, and exactly what I was alluding to: the significant difference between owning and leasing!

EDIT: Maybe I'm missing something (we've only ever owned vehicles outright, never leased). Q: If you are leasing a car and you have a (let's say fairly serious) crash, are you allowed to have it repaired in the manner of your choice, even at a third-party repair shop, and not even be obliged to inform the leasing company about the accident and/or the repairs?

>Just pick a couple of those USB-C docks on the market and check how many are actually working for you.

1) How is it the spec's fault that random OEMs go to extreme cost cutting measures in order to price dump themselves to the bottom by not following the spec? Of course they won't work properly.

But again, for the 100th time, that's not the specs fault that manufacturers actively choose to ignore it.

If a driver chooses to knowingly run a red light, is it automatically the fault of the spec (the highway code) ?

2) You're moving the goalposts. We are talking about USB-C charging spec here that's super easy to follow, and Nintendo didn't, not USB-C docs with display-port and other fluff. So this dock example doesn't apply to Nintendos' refusal to follow the charging spec.
I agree with everything you said, but I we shouldn't deny that opportunistic bad actors don't exist. Or it might get on their radar and be exploited. Open source tools also tend to be better maintained, documented and reliable, so the bad guys will have a better tool.

That being said, bringing it to light also has benefits like you said. If the tool is out in the open and state of the art techniques are used, technology to detect its use will also benefit.

A couple of months ago I asked my wife to put on an a specific album in the car. I was surprised to find out she had just turned on the spotify artist shuffle. She then explained that this is how she listens to all music on spotify: search artist, press the big green button.
This is very anecdotal, but since then i have been amazed to find out that a huge chunk of < 30y olds i have asked listen to music exactly this way.

I'm still not sure if those users use spotify this way because the ui is so bad or if the ui is molded towards those users...
Are you using any API or scraping to get this data?
Exactly my point, in the end this is just up to voters.
I've seen no compelling evidence to suggest that working fewer hours will raise efficiency enough to result in the same amount of work being done in those fewer hours. It _can_ be true, but it seems unlikely enough (to my intuition) that I'll assume it would not be the case unless someone can put forth a convincing argument/evidence.
Maybe visit your relatives once in a while and use them as a data drop. It’s really not that big of a problem he makes it out to be. He screwed up.

It's almost comedic that the point of backups is to remove the single point of failure and then security paranoia creates new ones.

Perhaps what I should have done is stored all my backup codes and recovery keys on a USB stick and then given them to a friend?

If you're going to be that secure, put them on a USB stick and bury it in your yard or in the hollow of a tree. Easier to update and won't be destroyed when your house burns down.
That checks out to me. I occasionally rent an ebike to go much further, faster, than taking public transport or my regular bike.
With no second factor you are vulnerable to anything that could sniff your password. I guess this is fine as long as you never log on from any untrusted machine/location?
