A call center is not really a collaborative job at all, so it's unsurprising that there would be some gain from WFH. I don't think you can generalize what works in a call center to what works for knowledge workers, though.
This could be asked at a few different layers of abstraction but I'd start here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_confinement
There is another reason why companies lower cost, and it's because of competition. We have seen company after company in all sorts of sectors lose revenues because of competition, so your theory that they only lower costs to increase volume doesn't hold water.
Well, that's up to your browser to prevent. It's a cat and mouse game; and I doubt something you can solve be clicking a consent button.
I have one from outlook.com, about 2/3 are custom domains (.com and .br), and the rest are from google domains.
I don’t believe that’s the case.

However, the system on top of WireGuard cannot just spit out a key to the user and call it a day.

The key (sorry…) is to make the system a) verify the identity of the users via an IdP (e.g. Okta or something similar) and then b) distribute short-lived keys, that can be revoked.

If one reads how Tailscale handles user authentication and key rotation, one will notice that they have a solid system in place for handling the keys and the product is much more sophisticated than OpenVPN.

I haven’t studied the approach of their competitors (e.g. Firezone) so I can’t comment on that.

The Russians are still actively attacking including destroying infrastructure with loitering munitions. This is so premature as to be either foolish or manipulation.

For, as you say, context: next summer makes 25 years that I've been working as a software engineer. I've founded startups, worked at other people's, worked for established publicly and privately held companies, and also several stretches in government. I've never worked at a FAANG, never applied to one, and don't plan to ever do so.

I've never liked working at the office, and the pandemic is not the first time that I've worked remotely for years at a stretch.

I resent the idea that, after working 40 hours a week (when your employer is not pressuring you to work 60, 80, or more, which is a whole other story), I'm supposed to spend the remaining time voluntarily hanging out with my co-workers. After a "long workshop meeting in the evening" (puke and double puke), if you want me to stick around for dinner, you'd better have brought a gun. I do actually hang out with my co-workers--the ones I like. I don't need my work to set my social calendar for me.

"There may be product managers that ignore the noise-cancelling headphone stop-sign", in the sense that there may be water in the ocean. And it's not just PMs, there are plenty of coders who see nothing wrong with looking over at someone's screen and asking why "they want to beat someone over the head with their keyboard repeatedly". Please don't do this. At least not to me. If I'm that mad already the last thing I need is someone interrupting my train of thought.

I wouldn't worry too much about outsourcing. People have been freaking out about it for 20+ years, and there's still plenty of jobs to go around. US programmers don't have a lot of trouble finding work, even as high as salaries for devs are here. (Of course, you can't do completely equal salary comparisons between the US and other countries, because of health insurance).

Finally, on a side note:

IDK if this is your idea of "exotic" but in case you hadn't heard, Opeth is playing the Admiralspalast next month.
I remember those. The interesting thing about those is that browsers went out of their way to add features disabling those, only to then implement the infrastructure for them to be re-implemented in-page in ways that are harder to block.

[*edit] I probably shouldn't have weighed in on this.
Research has consistently shown the value of breastfeeding for development. Part of that is the biological quality of the milk, but part is also the skin-to-skin contact and emotional bonding. So, until weaning, women have a unique biological ability that men cannot quite replicate. Obviously, pumping can address some of the biology and men can cuddle their infants. However, normal emotional attachment[1] of the mother to the child also develops pre-weaning, which has its own long-term effects.

Shouldn't women be allowed to take the first year of their child's life to provide for their long-term emotional development without jeopardizing their careers?

1. in the evolutionary sense of what human psychology has been selected for, including the increase of maternal prolactin and oxytocin during breastfeeding
Eternally subsidizing massive shipbuilding infrastructure as an insurance policy against WW3 seems beyond silly in my view. And remember, it has to be massive shipbuilding infrastructure or you're not doing any good. Having one or two shipyards that aren't very good at shipbuilding does zero if you need to suddenly build a lot of ships locally for "national security" which seems to be the argument of the pro-jones act commenters.
I think a better example would be the following. Let's take the perspective of cargo intended for a Honda plant in Ohio. This is a fictional illustration. The below voyage is impossible right now because of the Jones act.

1. River barge within the Mexican interior picks up a shipment intended for the Honda plant in Ohio.

2. Shipment is transferred to a larger vessel in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico for voyage to Houston Texas.

3. Vessel travels along the coast, which makes for a perfect transport waterway because of its shallow and calm waters.

4. Vessel stops in Houston. picks up and drops off containers at various terminals.

5. Vessel enters the Mississippi river system and continues to drop off and pick up goods throughout its voyage.

6. Our original cargo we care about, is offloaded in Cincinnati at the Queen City Ohio River Terminal and transferred to the rail network, ultimately for delivery at the Honda manufacturing plant outside of Columbus Ohio.
Tried to adopt it about 8 years ago but their very traditional architecture didn’t fit well with the infra we were using. Also some jruby based plugins were buggy
AAC is an audio encoding codec. It's not about Bluetooth latency - just audio quality.
This is an attitude I really try to build up in junior devs. Soooo many people seem to default to writing code like, "if input is null return null" (when input should never be null) or "if valueThatShodBePositive < 0 silently skip the code that was going to use the value". If the app detects that something is in an invalid state _I want it to break_. The worst problems to debug are the ones where you have to work backwards through miles of strange behavior and corrupted data to find the root cause, because the program tried valiantly to soldier on long after it had been shot through heart with bad data.

I guess this is because no one really teaches error handling. I assume a lot of students end up with a mindset of just make the errors go away instead of, deal with the errors effectively.
This is really a short, useful book for anyone getting stuff remotely manufactured in China. Some examples of what went wrong from someone who lived there (so things shouldn't have gone wrong).

A good example of a problem: supplier underbids to get the business; first and second shipment are fine, then the third has an unauthorized change because now the factory wants to cut their costs to make a profit. In the author's case IIRC it was shampoo: he ordered a set in different scents (lilac, almond, coconut perhaps?). Suddenly all he got was almond because I suppose the factory got a better deal if they bought more.

Also remember that Apple gets the quality they do by having a lot of their own personnel on site to stay on top of everything that is going on. You can't afford that.

Please read my post again, lowering of internal costs does not lower external costs unless doing so increases profit due to volume changes.

You're arguing that a company with competition may choose to lower its price whether or not internal costs have lowered (or not). That's a different question entirely.
It’s interesting to see that even though the project seems to boast being about 10 years old it still doesn’t have 1.0 version. For some this might not be important but it does seem to subtly convey a message of instability of the product. I haven’t read much into it but have to wonder what is stopping them from releasing a “stable” 1.0
This may be an example of skating to where the puck is at.

Consider that the new iPad has the same power as a desktop and can be used with a desktop monitor. (This is the $450 version.) You can also connect an iPhone to a display to an HDMI monitor, but they haven't done the work to have a desktop mode yet. Android desktop mode but they haven't been . If iphone cracks it, android will have to catch up.

Phones have the power today and they have the storage today. It's just missing the work and make an external keyboard and storage display a first class experience.

And the moment you can can add a $100 monitor, a $15 cable, and a $40 bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, you are at a developer machine for about $150 over their phone that they have anyway.
>"why you want a career?"

Financial independence.

Anyone who thinks SAH parents can free themselves of this worry is naive. You never get the time back, you never get the experience back, you never get the training or the raises or the bonuses. You never get the retirement savings. If you are unfortunate enough to live in the US you are entirely dependent on your spouse for healthcare.

It's an unfathomably vulnerable situation to be in but it gets brushed off. There is still an attitude that SAH is a 'gift' given to a parent, see how often a working spouse will say they 'let' their partner stay at home, that the working partner 'supports' the family. A SAH spouse is not an equal partner with a 50% contribution. More of an oldest child with extra responsibilities and a higher allowance.

Pre-nups are often advocated as a way to ensure fairness if the relationship falls apart. I'd rather see pre-SAH legal documents. The SAH spouse gets half the earnings, gets half the purchases, gets half the retirement savings. A working spouse who isn't willing to sign it is a working spouse who doesn't believe that being home and watching children is a 'real' job.
It's sad that we have to consider children a disability to get companies to realize that parents should be treated with at least as much respect as we would give to someone who falls under the ADA.

Nobody would even think to say "I hate when our meetings get interrupted because Suzy has insert medical condition here and has to go off-camera for a few minutes".
3 of my 4 kids were all born with my wife being 38 or older. Youngest son born when my wife was 44. 2 of those 3 were not even planned. They're all healthy.

Stop freaking out, it's not too late.
This kind of shocks me honestly. Maybe it is because wifi is shit as you say but I wouldn't have thought hundreds of kilometers was possible, much less with one target moving.

I've been looking into a way to get a wifi link between a couple locations maybe 500ft apart and wasn't sure if even that was possible.
I empathize with the shitty commutes of kitchen and janitorial staff who aren't paid enough to live closer. My fellow SWEs are paid more than enough to live comfortably in the city. Some of them choose to trade off commute time for other goods; that's up to them.

I disagree that coming into the office is such a burden or that Zoom is so benign.
I think the idea here is to enable people in places of the world that may not have laptops, where mobile phones are people's only computer. That's how I'm looking at this, but that's just my guess.
Show HN: We made a GitHub App to build custom analytics for software teams
On True Believers and Mercenaries
Hi HN! I'm Antoine, co-founder and CEO at Okay (YC W20). We are building analytics for engineering teams and we have released our new application on Github Marketplace.

Getting good metrics on engineering work is hard. On the one hand, you can build your own pipeline by ingesting API data from Github, JIRA, your CI tool, etc. Then you have to ETL that data, link it to teams and services, and finally select a dashboarding tool to display metrics. That gives you ultimate flexibility at a high cost of maintenance. On the other hand, you can go with out-of-the-box products but a lot of them focus on very specific metrics, such as DORA Metrics, PR throughput, etc. - not necessarily what you'll be interested in tracking, and you might even disagree with the metrics definitions or ethos of the product.

We've gone through several iterations of Okay and we think we now have the right balance between flexibility and ease-of-use. We solve ingestion + ETL and we give dashboarding features, but we leave users free to define metrics using our no-code query builder (with plain SQL coming soon). We specifically avoid forming opinions on what users should actually be building in terms of dashboards - in that sense, we are closer to an observability tool than to "development analytics" products. We are seeing a range of use-cases, such as incident tracking (with JIRA and PagerDuty data), sprint reviews (JIRA / Github), velocity & DORA (mainly Github + deployment data). We are building on BigQuery, DBT for the ETL and our custom ingestion code for API syncs. Our frontend is using Vue with a mix of D3.js and common charting libraries.

We'd love to get the community feedback on this current product approach! This Github app makes it easy to start on our free plan.
I didn't assume anything, just stated a historical fact.

It is possible for parents and grandparents to structure their lives around it being convenient for the traditional role. The fact that American society doesn't do this is a bit of a tragedy. I know families that engage the entire extended family, including grandparents, in raising the next generation.

(In fact, its an evolutionary thing. It answers the question of why does evolution keep grandparents around and healthy? Generally, when an organism no longer serves a useful purpose towards propagation of the species, it dies.)
Also check that the camera doesn't rely upon a proprietary configuration tool, e.g. a Windows-only IE plugin, and that the camera doesn't need internet connectivity to function. Some cameras will stop streaming, even locally, if they can't hit the manufacturer's cloud-based platform.
Tattoos, that is a good use! Glad it helps you. Please let me know if you have any more feedback on what could be improved!

This may be the most confoundingly and consistently irritating thing about using an iPhone, to me.
Kids adore doing whatever their parents are doing, so giving them some "office equipment" can be a great way to get them "working away" for quite some time.

Maybe I should dig up some old IBM PCs, those things were tank-like, but likely the kids would start trying to beat each other with the keyboard.
Hawaii isn't a territory and represents significant Jones act related commerce. While I'm not pro jones act it's worth noting Hawaii/Alaska have congressional participation in the democratic process so you can say it's kind of 'their fault' because they're held to the 'social contract' of the majority vote, to whatever weight that validates following laws.

Territories do not have congressional representation and thus cannot be faulted for failures of democratic federal decision making. I think even from the pro-jones act perspective there's a compelling argument to exempt territories.
If it's not practical to mitigate against some risk, then the potential reward isn't high enough. Ignoring the risk and continuing without optimal mitigation is only a logical course of action if the potential reward outweighs the possible downside.

If research is sufficiently dangerous to necessitate a BSL-3+ lab, then it should have to meet a correspondingly high bar for demonstrating its potential reward. It's not clear to me that gain of function research could ever make such a justification.

In an ideal world, we could do this research with remote controlled robots in an orbiting space capsule. If we can't do that yet, then we could at least do it in a desert. Otherwise, shouldn't we be asking the local population to approve each research proposal that could lead to a local outbreak of a dangerous virus?

User experience is the biggest one that keeps popping up in my head.
That last anecdote is a generational change, regardless, I think. I’m probably close to your age, have a family and a traditional income-producer/homemaker marriage, and I bristle at terms like “babysitting” and “watching the kids.” I’m their dad!
this is, according to the article, NOT kept by third party [cops etc], this is filled out and kept by parents, at home.
Unfortunately, since their tags are so abundant, most of them (mainly the "too specific" ones) are far from exhaustive/complete in term of being actually used. And things like hair colors are extremely subjective so you're not sure if an image is going to be tagged as brown_hair or red_hair.

If you want to find some images by tags, you better stick with more generic ones.
WFH equates to more flexibility and freedom for most WFH proponents. Freedom to choose how to spend hours reclaimed from commute, flexibility regarding when exactly and how to work, depending on what works best for the individual. Freedom to choose where you live. Having the option to move to a place they may find more enjoyable for whatever reason. Move to the countryside, move closer to parents, whatever.

When you suggest having mandated WFO time, no matter how little, you suggest taking away some of their freedom. People tend to not like their freedoms being taken away.

And… Don’t worry about Eastern Europeans taking your job. In a WFH world they don’t have to settle for Berlin salaries.

EDIT: If you’re serious about social cohesion, do cool retreats and events. Having actual adventures make people bond more than water cooler chitchat.
Don't sign predatory non-competes. If one is executive material, negotiation is a necessary skill :-)

I was helping a friend buy a car the other day. The salesman kept coming back with a "final" offer and "we can't go lower than that", etc., etc. But I advised my friend to hold the line, and he did till the offer got into his price range.
Stopped reading as soon as they quoted Lawrence Summers.

it's literally a fictional story isn't it? Why the "probably"?
64gb along with the price hike is egregious at this point.
Well, more units would put some economic pressure, but presumably landlords wouldn't buy those buildings if they have pressure already. So those buildings would go condo, and maybe some renters would step up to be owners.

That's more pressure on condo prices than on rents.

Cartels derail schoolbook supply and demand ideas.
There are magical places, though they seem a tad less magical when they get overcrowded. I see owning a piece of 'magic' as a level of privilege that I don't think we can expect most middle-or-above class workers to indulge in without decimating away the magic, unless the population finally drops.
> maybe it's a mid-life crisis where we worry about our legacy

It makes me laugh when people talk about having a "legacy"

99.999% of people are unremarkable. There are currently just over 1M Wikipedia articles about living people. Meanwhile, there are 7.7B people on the planet. Even if you made the incorrect assumption that all 1M were about living Americans, with the US population being nearly 330M, that means you'd have to be in the top 0.3% to even have a Wikipedia article about you.

Unless you become the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or at least a state-level politician, or become a high-profile criminal, you will probably be forgotten entirely within three generations of your death.

It surprises me that some people have a hard time coming to terms with this.
I feel this strongly, I used to enjoy being in the office and working with my coworkers and these endless zoom calls suck. Maybe I'm a weirdo, maybe I had a good set up/team, or maybe just macroeconomic despair is hanging over things. Maybe the earlier part of the tech business cycle was just better and we're at the end of it and things seem just generally pessimistic. IDK.
What if you could buy the bread for $0.12 and spend the rest of your dollar on other things? Your quality of life and standard of living has massively improved. You send paper overseas and get actual goods in return, and you still have $0.88 to spend on other things.

I use $0.12 because as the article points out, local shipyards cost 8x as much as foreign shipyards.
Being productive all the time isn’t a goal shared by everyone. I’d honestly be surprised if it was even a majority view. Hedonism has been a goal of the financially independent since antiquity
Doesn't human knowledge come from intuitions? How can we come up, as humanity, with something that's outside our combined intuition space?

I can see how different people can have different subspaces for their intuitions, therefore having access to some ideas that others don't.

This is one way in which I see math. Math can make lots of sense for the people that have these mathematical concepts inside their their intuition's space. And considering that intuition can be trained, I somehow expect to be able to understand the most complicated/complex of concepts, if they were to be mapped to my own understanding of those concepts.
I mean it kinda makes sense. When you're coding, you're constructing something. When you're debugging, you're deconstructing something. I feel like it's natural for people to take a sec to codeswitch, bc they were likely in a state of flow w/ considerable momentum up until they saw the error
Internet connectivity is an obvious candidate for this.

Could not connect to server? Check if WiFi is on. Check if Dns is working. Check if ping to router is working. Check if ping to google is working. Link to wifi settings.

Whatever you do. Just don’t do this the reverse way, like my smart ass Samsung tv does! It determines if internet is working by pinging a Samsung server, before it even allows other apps to use their internet. You can probably figure out what will happen when Samsung servers are down.
