Re: rewiring the brain - these exercises feel like functional neurology exercises, were they inspired by those? "Neuroplasticity" is just a fancy term for learning, really, and if you dig deep enough there are some niche communities online that (at least claim to) use it to heal themselves from various chronic illnesses.

> People who refuse to work from the office, even a few days out of the week, look like total snowflakes to me.

What's "snowflaky" about not wanting to waste your personal time commuting?

Until companies are paying for commute time and transportation costs, they can kiss my ass about returning to an office. It's always been bullshit, now it's just more obvious that its also unnecessary.

So if you want me in the office you better pay me for the extra time and cost.
Maybe they can, but if they did, they would probably be shouting it from the rooftops as their pinnacle feature

Seems like there is already a mechanism, sans moving parts, of generating force post-launch. Not saying it is sufficient to correct a ground-launched, ballistic projectile though.

I am skeptical that there is no chemical propellant capable of resisting the initial acceleration. That seems like a bold claim.

What about gas-based thrusters(i.e. ion drive with xenon or even just nitrogen gas)?

I think this is true. Working full remote for a non-full remote first, even if the company is really cool about it, has practical nigglings.

The setup won't be as ideal for a remote worker as it could be. The dev environments will assume you are in the office physically, and not be quite as good otherwise. You might need to remote desktop or VPN, so any internet downtime (or even just shit latency) and you are off work.

Also culturally ... it will be an office based company still. Whether it be silly jokes about being the one working from home full time, for example, or needing to feel like you have to be there for your career. It can come through in subtle ways. Also things like regular synchronous meetings will prevail.
I think Brave is interestingly positioned, they sort of sound like a dream come true from a technical perspective, chromium with manifest v3 but still with fully functioning adblocking.

But I mean Brave has PLENTY of skeletons in its closet and is a dark horse that really doesn't seem to have the momentum. Firefox had TONS more momentum and they're still hardly relevant nowadays.
It's also very limited in scope compared to actual math courses.

It's a supplemental resource, not core instruction.

Don't try to make it into something it was never intended to be.
Important thing to add: Apple forces browsers on iOS to use the iOS webview. This is not Mozillas choice.
> Right back at you - it's your side that's trying to impose changes to the meaning of these pronouns by fiat. You can start using then differently if you want, but it's incredibly entitled to demand others conform to your novel definitions.

It's not really "my side". Lots of people are asking me to call them differently, and I'm complying. I think people who don't listen to polite requests about how to address others are rude. I think language is moving, and that people who insist to keep older conventions at all costs are A) generally on the wrong side of history, and B) rude.

Someone may have learned growing up that calling a black person a "Negro" was a polite form of address, and that "moron" is an accurate, impartial label. But it stopped being so. Trying to pedantically cling to something that now many people consider insensitive or rude is not great.

And, language moves on. We can assume a bit less from certain pronouns about what's in someone's pants or what they might wear. Of course, we could already assume a lot less about those things than a hundred years before.

Your comment is half-way down the page. I read it.

It really depends on what kind of site we're talking about; there's loads of times I want to see loads of results. Sometimes I don't, but there's no harm is showing me more than I want, either.
I know this isn’t quite what you’re meaning, but it sounds like you’re saying “don’t quit so they can fire you instead.”
Laws like conservation of energy are vicious. There is no escaping them. And they do not negotiate.
I was in Sweden a couple of months ago and rented an EV. In my case the reasons were simple. The main reason is that EV's are just nicer to drive. The second reason is to save money since petrol is much more expensive than charging an EV.
> Government entities aren't any good at building almost anything, but that's why they contract work out to private companies. I wouldn't expect EU government employees to work directly on FF, but rather for it to be contracted out to some EU company or companies.

I skimmed over the issue here: my more precise point is that government entities generally aren't good at building things when they outsource the actual building, either.

(Some people even go so far as claiming that outsourced government projects are worse than in-house ones.)

> The reason for forking rather than throwing money at Mozilla is that Mozilla doesn't seem to be doing a great job of managing themselves.

That might be true. Or perhaps they just have different priorities, and the EU can specifically pay them to do some work on EU priorities?

> Also, Mozilla is an American company; the EU would naturally want to give money to an EU company that hires EU citizens to do such high-value, high-paid work, not send that money to the US.

That's, alas, true from a political point of view. But not from a macroeconomic economic point of view, or just getting bang-for-your-buck.

> Plus, they can get a lot more software talent for their Euro in the EU (esp. eastern EU) than in America.

Mozilla can already hire from anywhere, too, can't they?

In any case, I already mentioned in my comment that the EU can pay someone other than Mozilla. The point I wanted to make is that the EU should not fork Firefox, but rather try to get their favourite contributions upstreamed, if possible.

In any case, I still think it would be a waste of taxpayer money for the EU to pick winners (ie award the project to someone). Instead they should focus on streamlining bureaucracies and regulation etc so that private entities (companies, or foundations or otherwise) that provide what people want (software or otherwise) can flourish in the EU.

My job doesn't have an office in town.

If they start to insist I move to one of the cities they have an office in, I will refuse and they can terminate me if they want.

I'm not doing it.

If they open an office in town, I'll consider going in once a month or so
> I don't really care about all the fight about Chrome vs Firefox

And this is why Google has the ability to force things like Manifest V3 down people's throats.

Glad I stopped using Chrome years ago.
> I understand completely why this was kept quiet.

Are you suggesting that Apple and Facebook normally have these kinds of discussions in public? Because that is not at all the case.

Possibly there is something nefarious going on here. But the fact these talks were secret means nothing, since all talks between companies are secret by default.
About $400k.

That's double what I'm paid now, but I used to be a high school teacher and it was twice as much work (as measured by mental and emotional strain, not hours) as my job now.
Probably, but not because of going back to the office.

If anything, being back in the office would be welcome for me. Sure, commute is a bit inefficient, but a lot of time is wasted when no one goes to the office ever.

Three times a week seems like a good balance to me.
Once a month?? Why the office hate?
Apple sells app install ads and charges advertisers for conversions on those ads. Apple blocks Facebook from doing the exact same thing (recording conversions on app install ads). Apple has defined “third party data” so it doesn’t include transactions on an advertiser’s app through the App Store, so they can say they don’t use “third party data”. But also, Apple won’t let anyone else run an App Store. So they are forcing transactions to go through their store, defining their own use of the transaction data as privacy-compliant, and then banning other means of collecting the same data. A pretty genius way to use their power as platform owner to cut out the competition and somehow get good PR while doing it.

Apple has defined themselves as party one or two in any interaction with the device, so the data they touch is not “third-party” data. That’s a masterful work of lawyering and whoever came up with that strategy is a genius, but we shouldn’t accept the definition and repeat it.

Let’s be clear about what is actually happening: Apple sees that other companies are making money on iPhones (in part, through data), and they are using their platform ownership to collect all that money/data for themselves.
Agreed, containers are great. I love them and wish they were a standard feature across browsers. Still some room for improvement though. It would be nice if the containers acted like an entirely different instance of a browser, with different settings, history, extensions, etc. With the current design it's still possible to accidently leaked details across containers by visiting something in the wrong one if you havent set up exclusive browsing for a particular site, and history is shared across containers. Would be nice to be able to export container settings as well as a lot of work can go into setting them up.
Exactly, expensive cities mean "local" can mean a handy little 2 hour commute one way. The market has moved to remote. Sometimes the market favours the employee like this. Sometimes it favours the employer, like when some big companies were working together to limit salaries.
When it happened, by the media coverage, you would have thought he dropped his pants in the middle of a preschool or something. There was this almost uniform narrative that this 'scream' was crazy and it baffled me. These people all know how microphones and live events work, and it really felt like a concerted effort to drag the guy down - particularly given how gaffe-prone Bush was (putting it lightly), and especially given the whole Trump thing. 24-year-old me felt like it was a media drive-by, and I don't subscribe to the "big bad media" narrative that a lot of folks do. (I worked for a newspaper for a while, local journalism is especially important, which is why it's been targeted and gutted, but I digress)

Later - I can't remember where - I saw a series of shorts that broke down these pivotal moments. Dukakis in the tank, Dan Quayle and potato, the Dean Scream, and others. It painted a much more nuanced picture around complications within the organization of the campaign that were playing behind the scenes, and with or without the scream, Kerry was playing a much stronger game, apparently. I feel like Howard Dean might have even contributed to the documentary. It was really interesting, I wish I could remember the context of these shorts. "Did anyone in the crowd react in that manner" - I remember accounts from the time saying that in the room, it wasn't weird at all. Everyone was pumped.

None of that changes my mind that media supersaturated the scream. Late night shows, NPR, cable news, and I'm sure conservative media in particular were going to town.
While there is legitimate variation in how jurisdictions will treat a public domain dedication (e.g. wrt rights which can be relinquished vs can't be relinquished vs must be explicitly forgone, which a public domain dedication doesn't necessarily achieve), realistically (a) you're pretty unlikely to get sued by someone who tried to dedicate their thing to the public domain (b) the intersection of "jurisdictions that will read a foreign litigant's public domain dedication as All rights reserved" and "jurisdictions whose opinions anyone particularly cares about" is approximately empty.
> I would still prefer to go back to the non-tech non-startup industry.

No. It is. One of many that say all the hand-wavy stuff sounds great until physics.
Quick question...

Why would we really want to prevent a war between these two giant companies?
If you're in a country with any kind of decent labour rights, getting let go is 100% better than quitting.

If you quit you don't get EI, you don't get any kind of payoff from the company, and it looks worse than "I was let go due to company downsizing" when interviewing.
Anything unlicensed should be treated as coming with a permissive license. If you care so much about protecting your IP, take the effort to write up a license or make it proprietary.

I am aware that is not how it is now, but in my opinion that is how it should be.
That is quite a different beast in numerous ways, and I'm failing to see the connection.
There's a boatload of other staffers nearby, to say nothing of individual soldiers who might have their own account of what they heard. It seems unlikely that a general would really get away with, "oh I didn't hear it" when everyone else there clearly did. I mean, they might escape court martial, but everyone there will know they're full of it.
Why on company time?

(I typically don't officially track work hours anyway (only informally for myself to keep track of my work/life balance), and just worry that I get my week's worth of work done. So I wouldn't even know how to do any extracurricular activity 'on company time'.)

no, the similarity (and why it was posted) is that both games consist of kids attempting to stick their fingers up somebody else's butt.
'Wild' yes, but was it .... Crazy?!?
So get fired for not commuting to work then.

There are a number of hiring boards and search engines that list jobs which are solely WFH. I wish I could find companies that are in-office only.

I have a WeWork office, which I pay for with my own money. The change of scenery is nice, and I like commuting farther than 10 steps again, but what I really miss is being in one building with all my teammates. I cannot replicate that with a WeWork. I feel like I don't even know anyone in my company hired after March 2020.
I'm certainly no fan of shutting people down for asking questions. I think we may be interpreting the context of the question differently though. The parent poster was recounting having worked as a math teacher, stressed out every day from the planning and grading demands of the job, working in excess of 12 hours per day, earning a salary low enough that colleagues without a spouse's income to help out had to work a second job - and who still has nightmares about being back in the classroom. And then moving on to a software job with double the salary and half the stress. I read it as saying teachers should be appreciated / paid more and the response as why are teachers still doing unnecessary grunt work, making lesson plans and grading papers? Isn't that dumb work that a software engineer could just solve for them?

(Also, following through on this, if such a solution - computers planning your lessons for you, so all you have to do is what the smart computer tells you to - were to become reality, the lack of teacher appreciation / salary, which was the main point of the parent comment, would not improve at all - it would likely get worse, with teachers getting paid less for fewer available jobs. The deskilling of labor would probably follow, reducing teacher roles to individual, specialized, repetitive tasks, since it saves an enormous amount of money if low-skilled workers can simply be swapped out if they don't work out.)
This july I tried one month of living close to the beach, in a rental apartment. I took half of the time off, and the rest of the time I worked from “home”. I went to the beach every day, and plenty of days I went all day.

By the end of the month I got tired of sitting on the beach.
Everything about working in an office sucks.

Commuting sucks, paying for parking sucks, shared kitchens suck, open floor plans suck, office politics suck, being at the whim of people "just dropping by your desk to ask a quick question" sucks. Getting sick all the time when people don't stay home and they spread it around the office sucks. No seriously, I haven't had a cold or flu since the pandemic started, I love not getting sick every flu season.

What is good about offices? Why do you like them?

The LEO post-launch force you link to is for minor orbital changes. Or large changes over a large amount of time. The problem with an orbit that begins at the ground is that you have exactly one orbit's worth of time in which to convert it into a real orbit. Magnetic or ion propulsion won't cut it.

My comment about solid rockets is due to the fact that they include fully combustable fuel in a ready-to-use mix. Solid rockets don't require much input to get them to combust. I assume no one is considering solid rockets for this application; I only mention it as part of assuming they would need a liquid rocket so I could explain the problem with liquid rockets which rely on pumps and pipes.
> China is falling into recession. Europe is falling into recession. A Federal Reserve governor(Kashkari) is now expressing doubt that inflation can be reined in without triggering a recession. Stonks have recovered from the initial drop, but that is a familiar pattern in many previous stock bubbles before the market really plummets.

You (nor anyone else) can forecast neither recessions nor 'stock bubbles'.

Otherwise they'd have already made a fortune in the financial markets.

Of course, a recession is always possible.
had my BT headphones go dead halfway through a flight. Options..? Stare out the window

My bluetooth headphones give around 3 hours of use from 15 minutes of charging. Apple iPods supposedly give 1 hour of use after 5 minutes of charge. Annoying to have it happen in the middle of a flight, but it doesn't mean I have to forgo music for the rest of the flight.

My worst case-scenario would be something like:

> People who refuse to work from the office, even a few days out of the week, look like total snowflakes to me.

Why are you being a "snowflake" and judging people on some personal decisions which doesn't affect you at all?

By the way, I really don't like that word ("snowflake" to mean too-sensitive, fragile) and you could as well say that people are making a big deal out of it, and with that you are just judging individual actions, and not labeling people.
All things being equal, you are much less likely to be laid off from an employer you have been with, where you have a track record than at a place where you’re the new person and still need to be trained / onboarded

> People who refuse to work from the office, even a few days out of the week, look like total snowflakes to me. I think the flexibility is good, and hardline rules will not go over well, but likewise I think people who refuse to work in the office at all -- when they're local! -- are eventually going be terminated.

This is the sort of toxic colleague people are choosing to avoid at the office.

It's easy to do, and you'll be pleased to know that termcap/terminfo supports them, so you can use almost all your usual terminal programs with them. If you run into the occasional exception, you can run it in screen(1), which emulates a VT100-family terminal using terminfo.
The real problem here is companies are not cops and should quit acting like cops.

The instant a company has evidence of a possible crime being committed they should be required to hand the evidence over to the police and then take no other action other than preventing distributing it or the like.

This is not just Google's AI goofing up on what constitutes CSAM (and it sounds like given the witch hunt about such things that Google was being reasonable in informing the police), but colleges expelling "rapists" without evidence etc. The accused never gets anything resembling a fair trial but since it's not the government doing it that doesn't matter, there's no repercussions from messing up lives based on completely incompetent investigations.
