I can work fully remote for a company in San Francisco and make 75% of their in-office wages, but 150% of my local in-office wages.

Remote companies can draw talent from everywhere, but also have a lot more competition from every company on the planet offering remote.
"Jeff had developed simulation models of the geographic and temporal patterning of urban crime, and had created predictive software that he marketed to law enforcement agencies."

It's that second part, predicting where crime will occur and selling that to the police, that's controversial. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see where this is going.

I'm not a woke type, but that is some horrible stuff, and I'm not surprised he got pushback for this.
for sure. but a newly established company with strong revenues in a part of the world where there are no rules? difficult to answer.
Here again I ask - what are the reasons?!
Came across this post [0] by Graydon Hoare (original author of Rust and member of the Swift team) in an HN comment the other day. Lots of interesting discussion about future paths for language design work, including some discussion of Effects Systems.

Curious how Tao is pushing the limits on that front?

Standard sample-size of one caveat, etc. etc.

I worked 100% remotely for four years, and while the pay was higher, so was the expected workload. In the remote job I'd regularly work 10-12 hour plus days, and often had to work weekends. My current job, with 2 days a week in the office and the rest remote, is basically 9-5. I reckon in my case the extra hours cancelled out the higher pay.
> "will make their proprietary video and messaging platforms "interoperable"

Because it's Europe, and also FaceTime and such aren't anywhere near as popular over there, it is possible that Apple will just pull them from the market there. You can't be forced to provide interoperability with a service you aren't operating.

Whatever the result, this does mean iOS 16 is going to have many "features" that Apple didn't announce...
That sounds unlikely. Those are expensive locations.
If you're a company with good intentions, solving trivial problems won't cost you any significant time, then.

So, if things are working mostly, and you're intentionally not fixing the trivial problems, then you have bad intentions either directly or indirectly.
Not to mention how insanely difficult heterogeneous memory management can get if you start needing coherence and/or relaxed atomics.

I have taken multiple swings at getting good at mixed computing and decided in most cases it's better to just pick CPU or GPU, trying to use both at the same time increases the difficulty by orders of magnitude.

Hats off to people that are good at that shit.
I honestly didn't know that.

I don't agree with the cost of living remark.

The main reason is that contrary to pubs, restaurants are doing extremely well. At least where I live. Quite a few pubs are converted into restaurants and they're full all of the time. Even in my small town. For sure there's a COVID catch up effect, but this is a long running trend. It suggests that just price is not a very strong driver for changing behavior.

Yes, a full time pub life is increasingly rare, but as it comes to health, I don't think it's a serious consideration for young people. Or the particular group of young people looking for "fun". They still drink, just differently. Or do lots of drugs. Health seems the least of their worries.

I do agree with your last point: many more distractions and types of entertainment. Pubs might have filled a void that no longer exists.

Except for one: spontaneous socializing. You can just walk into any pub and with a bit of luck, have an interesting/healing conversation, meet new people, perhaps even a friend, or find romance. Nobody in the pub would find any of it awkward as that is kind of the point of a pub.
So what? Nobody is obliged to serve any market, or a markets obliges to open for individual companies. If company A won't, companies B and C propably will.
You can't expect others to hand on a silver platter the reasons for you and your progeny's existence!

Yes, with your open OpenID server you basically become your own SSO. I've set up a Keycloak instance for my self hosted stuff and now I can add 2FA to almost any web self-hosted service without the service even needing to have support for it.

Keycloak is quite a complicated system to configure, though, there are easier alternatives out there. If you're just trying to get anything up and running, something simple like Authelia may be better for your use case (disclaimer: I've never tried it, but it seems light weight and other people online seem to recommend it).

SQLGlot's parser handles a superset of SQL, so it's much more flexible than any one engine.
Ruja Ignatova From crypto queen to FBI's top 'most wanted'
$465 million for one season of TV seems very expensive.

But $465 million as part of the bootstrapping/rnd budget for some new gpu-adjacent compute offering would be pretty easy to justify ... and potentially being able to move some of the development cost associated with that new cloud offering out of aws and into some other budgetary boundary is almost certain to provide stock boosting effects.

It seems obvious to me that the tech companies with streaming platforms have started using tv/movie production budgets as a way to fund research into offerings appropriate for development teams that are highly-creative/technically competent/and driven by result oriented pressure. Adding value to the production stacks used by those kinds of teams is hard but also technically worthwhile and pretty measurable. And having discerning and hard to please customers as early partners/beta testers for a new service could be very valuable.

I suspect Apple is doing this kind of thing as well with their shows where you can see the same or similar high-end visual effects appearing on multiple of their shows -- feels like the kind of thing you'd expect to happen with different creative teams using converging 'in-house' tooling ...
Why do you buy servers with metal flakes in it? No quality controll on your side?
The obvious intent is forward moving, not retrospective. Nothing can change the past hurt. However, you can control your future emotions. Sticks and stones is not a full instruction set, but an introduction to the concept.
That's actually about how it is going to work. Apps on both iOS and Android are in the read-only system partition. Even when you disable an app on Android, the read-only system partition version remains and the latest version installed in the rewritable user folder gets deleted. It is absolutely just going to be a visual switch.
Using different browsers and setting them as default is already possible in iOS. They are just forced to use WebKit as the rendering engine instead of Blink or Gecko.

I never understand "x times less" valuations. 1.9 times 100k, for example, would be 190k, so is it paying 190k less? How is this intended to be calculated? I never went to college so maybe this is a common way to express something being a percentage of something else, a percentage less than something else, or perhaps an average static value less than something else, that I'm not aware of that is being taught.

I would say the HN title probably needs to have the editorialization removed so that it reflects the actual article title and reduce the confusion (Full remote tech jobs pay better, Global Tech Talent Trends shows), but it appears within the article they do use the 1.9x less pay phrase.
Wow, I've been trying to come up with a way to do this on the web for a while now, but haven't cracked it yet. Had no idea it was a common thing in other UI technologies.
I'd argue that if some music doesn't bring enough pleasure for people to want to support the artist, then that music shouldn't be pair for at all. Seems to me like a much better alternative to the status quo of music industry manufacturing "artists", forcing them upon people through mass media, and extracting money whatever way they can.
I think there is definitely a technical reason, but I'll explain the UX problem with an example: what does, intuitively, `push --force --tags` do?

1. force push both the branch and the tags

2. force push only the tags

It's very ambiguous - both answers make sense. And that's a big UX problem!
In a previous revision of the language, I did! (https://github.com/zesterer/tao/tree/old). I decided against it because, in short, I find the trailing delimiters to be quite ugly.

Because this is purely a personal project, I'm thankfully not constrained by such mundane concerns as "ergonomics" (unless such concerns relate to me while I'm working with it). I think Pythonic syntax is probably the way to go long-term though...
I host a lot on AWS but you will need as many people in IT support as before. You can use consultants for a time but after a while your infrastructure will disintegrate because nobody knows about the intrinsic properties the infrastructure of your company.

I believe the self hosted options generally offer vastly more flexibility and can innovate at a faster pace. But only FedEx will know if it is a good decision, perhaps their infrastructure was indeed not competitive. But I heavily doubt they will save 400m in the long run.

AWS support is actually awesome and you usually get responsive within a day, even smaller businesses. But cloud hosting is only useful for certain scenarios. In this case it is Azure and I believe Microsoft currently innovates far slower than Amazon. Of course Amazon could be a direct competitor to FedEx in a few years too given they do more an more logistics. If they aren't a competitor already. In this context I would understand the decision to close their data centers because it is hard to compete with Amazon in the cloud space... a computing alliance with Microsoft would make sense.
What do they mean when they say "1.9x less"? If job A pays $100,000 a year, and job B pays "1.9x less", what does job B pay?
Yes, I think you're right. It _depends_, as always. Mostly on the field, and in my case, on country. I am in Germany and Universitities are mostly State financed. There has been a pretty liberal trend at Universities in Germany the last 10 to 20 years, pushing towards open science for society (any society, not just Germans). We have such a department you describe, too, but no one has ever heard of it and its not really used, or lets say regulations exist but are not enforced. The University itself also pushes for Open Source publication and free sharing of results and technology, except for rare cases.

The irony is that Disney is the great copycat. First they copied classic stories like Snowwhite and Cinderella, now they do the same with anime style storytelling. And all this while reaping enormous benefits from copyright law.

I worked somewhere with a private cloud. It was permanently over-subscribed and the VMs were nearly unusable because of it.

Not saying it can't be done well but there's less incentive for a company whose main business isn't providing infrastructure to ensure they've provisioned enough resources to meet demand.
> They might choose to do so with a special version of iPhone that only works in the EU with EU languages and EU carrier bands (no English language strictly necessary because the UK left, remember?)...

I think Ireland (and Malta) would like a word:

"English remains an official EU language, despite the United Kingdom having left the EU. It remains an official and working language of the EU institutions as long as it is listed as such in Regulation No 1. English is also one of Ireland’s and Malta’s official languages."

Sorry for the late reply.

Title being shortened, changed drastically, etc . I think the HN admins could simply note the reason.

For example if a user changed a title to something bias, even if that's the mods opinion, multiple times perhaps something can be done.
I don't think anyone's going to argue with you about the points you listed out. People who genuinely want children don't go through exercises like this; the fact you've made this post at all makes it abundantly clear that your decision has already been made.
God so much this. I see entire teams of developers who are, theoretically, software engineers. Yet their entire day is just configuring AWS. Endless meetings with endless acronyms and endless complexity to solve problems that have been solved for 20 years, but instead of focusing on the metal and first principles, the entire architecture is lost in a sea of "cloud services" that require multiple certifications to even begin to understand. All of this in service of an application load that could easily be handled with a few big servers.
It was a joke. But it made me realize, thanks to the comment above, that Earth's population is around 8 thousand millions, and not 8 billion as I'd come to believe.
We see a ton of bad story telling, agreed. How women are protrayed is not among the reasons.

Disclaimer: I have been handled pretty easily by women in BJJ and kickboxing / boxing drspite being 20 kg heavier and a head taller. And I am not un-trained. Get over it, competent and strong women do exist.

Edit (because I have to get of my chest): The latest Dr. Strange is propably the best example of bad story telling I've seen in a long time. I quit the MCU after Black Widow (I like the character and Scarlett Johansson) and swore to maybe watch the next Thor, max. Until I saw Dr. Strange was already free on Disney+, and I needed some distraction. All that bad film did was making me not watch any MCU film ever again...

True... forgot them, my apologies to both nations.

Though... Apple could just pull out of those nations...
I think there are good intentions behind it, but it also misses the mark by targeting big tech specifically.

The good that could have come of it, is a sort of open sourcing of tech companies... but of course none of that is going to happen.

Yet we have standards; like USB-C which are a good thing. Question is who should enforce creating more standards (to address eg the interoperability of the messaging apps cited in the article).

The big issue I see here is it is completely unfair to Apple because Apple is really in a league of its own. It's very essence, what makes Apple.. Apple.. is that they create BOTH the hardware and software. When I buy a Mac Mini, or an iPad I buy the whole package, that is the value of it...

It's like the EU telling Apple they know better how to design products and that Apple should redefine themselves as a company.. yet.. by finetuning and crafting software for their platforms Apple offers a user experience that is simply the best.

What the EU should have done instead is try to force big tech to work together?

I don't know how to feel about this but as a European I'm tired of being a peasant... and this is going to set us back even more. :/
Thanks this makes sense, My underlying assumption was that a typical star has magnetic acceleration paths which have many orders of magnitude more energy than the LHC (Many intentionally used ambiguously as I have not done the math).

I suppose given the energies involved, we would need to observationally ascertain where in the sky the cosmic rays come from in order to put bounds on how they were made and what they are made of.

Do yo know of any efforts to observe cosmic ray sources or build a cosmic ray telescope?
How is it any different than being locked to AWS/Azure/Oracle/Google?
True. But this "friendly stance" might change if browsers choose to use their own rendering engine now that the EU allows them to.

Also a sample size of 1, but: my current full-time remote job is strictly 9-5/5 days a week with upper management extremely concerned about ensuring people have a solid work/life balance and sufficient time off.

It also pays 2x what I’d make locally.

Just to say that fully remote is by no means necessarily a stealth sweatshop.
> so the only reason to do it in house is they can't trust any company they hire

Now I'm deeply confused. Any company hired either has a profit margin (plus enough to fund an "Oh shit" fund in case times turn bad) or will not stick around longer than a few years. At which case why not just hire people directly and cut out the other company's profit margin? Assuming you hire similar people at the same rate, using your own existing and already-paid-for HR, how is that not cheaper?
Tech jobs in _general_ pay as much as you job hop

The good news is that just as X has a modern replacement in Wayland, there's a modern replacement for NeWS -- the browser/Electron. The architecture is fundamentally similar: the server uploads code to present the UI to the client. It's just in JavaScript instead of PostScript. It would take a bit of work, but something like a desktop environment that runs as a single full-screen Electron app with a React UI should be feasible.
I have a sibling who is constantly reminding me to 'appreciate the wins' and give myself credit for accomplishments. I need this reminder, because as soon as I complete a task these days, I immediately forget about it and begin compulsively obsessing over everything else that needs attention. My to-do list will never, ever be finished. I will never, ever be good enough. I see far more that is wrong/bad about my situation than what is right/good.

It wasn't always this way. I used to be able to bask in the glory of an achievement for at least a little while. But after going through some rough times, my mind has somehow been trained to be constantly looking ahead to the next problem, always fearing the worst. I'm not sure how to turn it off beyond heavy self medication and sleeping.
The way I'm sharing it with the person being reviewed is: "This is all the feedback you got from people you work with", without attaching names to it.

If I have reasons to think the person will take it personally or the way it's written is too negative I refrain from sharing it raw and I prepare a tl;dr.

What's important is to extract the main points from the feedback.

That's not my experience with NIMBY coalitions. They're usually saying things like "more supply increases prices". I know it's a bit of a baptist-and-bootleggers dynamic, between self-interested homeowners and dumb but sympathetic activists. But the idea that undersupply contributes to high prices runs directly counter to NIMBY goals or strategy.
No, you're right. While "1.9x more" is common enough to have an agreed upon meaning, "1.9x less" is not a common expression. It's just a low quality article, don't think too much about it.
One thing I miss from those times: themes with textures for your windows. I wouldn't use it since they look distracting but they were beautiful.
It explores both. Some characters are cynical. Others, like (one of) the main characters Huey, is a hopeless romantic who believes in the basic goodness of people and doing the right thing. He also listens to a lot of Billy Joel.
That's not the whole story, though. Charges that fall outside your policy's coverage are entirely your responsibility. The OOP max refers to services covered by the policy, not 'all health care charges'.
