Thanks for the writeup. It’s an interesting protocol, but I’m not sure account mobility and portability is quite as you paint it in your post. The main problem is that, like email and mastodon, most users will sign up through a service, rather than self-host. I wrote about this in another comment thread here:

Agree. It speaks to some bias the OP has towards WFH-preferring people.

I live in a major metro area close to the city center. I worked in a hybrid WFH environment prior to March of 2020 when COVID-19 started freaking people here out. I've now been fully remote 100% for a number of years, and I work with a firm based in another distant US state (with no local office). Do I miss friendly banter with some previous coworkers whom I liked on a personal level? Yes. Do I miss it enough to want to go back to an arrangement where I was expected to be in-office 2-3 days a week. Absolutely not.

For me the benefits in productivity and convenience while working from home outweigh the camaraderie or team lunches or whatever. I still lunch with some of my former coworkers semi-regularly. We pick a place fairly central and those who can show up do. Does this mean that I'm a socially inept miscreant? I think not. It just means that I prefer working in an environment that is maximally comfortable and of my own choosing.

To drive my point home allow me to make a statement: I will never again accept any position that requires me in the office full-time or really any more than a single day per week at most. I just do not have to. I don't tend to target working for <impressive-brand-name-company>, so I have plenty of choices to work with lesser-known companies whom are (very) happy to find someone competent to help them build out their tech stacks. I've found that those lesser-known companies are much less likely to push hardball WFO tactics. If they do...then I simply start answering my unsolicited emails. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck to you, OP. I hope you find happiness out there.

How to use a watch as a compass
I have been experiencing the same thing you are describing in terms of procrastination/free time being spent in the less productive ways than one wants to or imagines them, as well as productivity being inverse correlated with free time.

I think it is definitely psychological. Probably something to do with subconsciously feeling guilt for not doing what one is "supposed to", so they feel too guilty to embark on something else that's productive or educational (like reading that one textbook they planned for a while). And instead just go "ok, that one educational thing i wanted to do is gonna take a while, and i am already wasting a lot of my free time, so instead i will just check out a few cat videos and then get back to productive stuff". And then it just becomes a positive (aka self-reinforcing) feedback loop that keeps on feeding onto itself.

As for being productive with the least amount of tree time, I can confirm that my best GPA in college was during semesters when i had the heaviest workloads on top of a part-time job. Reminds me a lot of what many parents on HN say in the comments, how they became way more productive in their efforts and focus after having kids (as soon as they get to about 1-2 years old). No experience with that one myself, but seems very similar.
There have been significant issues building offshore wind farms because the speciality ships used to construct these behemoths are not built by US shipyards. There have been some discussions of sailing these vessels all the from from Europe and operating them out of ports in Canada to get around the Jones Act, but the inefficiencies are obvious.

Perhaps democrats could be persuaded into abolishing this rule on the basis of furthering green energy efforts.
Good thinking. Linkedin is super closed off. I tried integrating that more, but had a hard time figuring out how.

Startup sources, that is good. I could do that!

I'll look more into insurance.

Keep it coming! Love your good examples and sources.

I'm trying not to do a logged in experience right now. People really hate logging into things and figuring out options. I mean, it is a really low percentage and usage compared to the amount of coding work... But please think out more, I'll be thinking on these things!
We are talking about quite different environments.

Trying to simultaneously satisfy many customers in a market where there are multiple options, different ways to slice and dice the customer segments, different dimensions on which to optimize a product, different ways to reach customers, different systems to integrate with, it's just a whole different ballgame to building a specific solution for a specific customer.

And at somewhere like google for example, most of the PMs are former engineers and can see technical changes enabling new things. On top of that, at somewhere like Google engineers do meet with customers, frequently. There isn't some dividing line like you describe because all the business units are run by PMs or engineers. They are "business" in your terms.

It is what it is. Your observations and suggestions may well be true and sensible in the environment you are operating in.

This was the strange comment I was referring to:

"You honestly think an American flag officer would defect to Saudi Arabia? Really?
Russia, China, or Iran would be a far "better" choice for a number of reasons, chiefly the fact that the Saudis might turn the turncoat back over to the US for any number of reasons — like pulling American maintenance contractors out of KSA, which would ground their air force in a matter of days and leave them very vulnerable to Iranian aggression. Hell, without contractor representatives giving them cues I wonder if they can really run some of the gear we've sold them.
Besides, if I'm going to be stuck in one dictatorship for the rest of my life (because you could never safely travel again), I'd pick somewhere like Iran over KSA in a second."

Which seems to be aimed at addressing a different topic.

I had the good fortune of being able to work that schedule once, and there is a lot to be said for it.

I believe that a lot of our current employment arrangements revolve around the primitive data management and "ERP" technologies of 100-200 years ago. Anything but the simplest arrangement (everyone works 40 hours every week with very limited exceptions) was hard enough at scale.
What if the the Americans screw you for 8x the cost (number the article uses), and you get a smaller inferior ship in return? Why not go with the foreign product at that point?

I enjoy WFH, but I do wonder what that does to tech industry compensation over the long term. It's one barrier to companies just shopping the global market. There are other barriers, of course.

But, whatever portion of us is employed by old stodgy companies seems more at risk now that most of them have figured out how to have productive WFH techies.
no, you're just going wrong about it; nothing Feynman was doing was new. Except for the fact he had a nice semi-directed graph to make sense of the celestial equations and the quintuple of the time; the Dirac Sea, etc
As long as you are logging the error with the context somewhere that's fine. You could always include a timestamp or request ID with the user message to not give away information, but be able to easily search your logs for the occurrence.
Process gates are for when you know you aren't going to get many iterations. Some things really are one shot or few shot. Example: a set of masks for a silicon chip costs millions of dollars, get it wrong and that's a million dollar coaster. Recognise when you have that problem and when you don't.
Even when using semver it just means that there were never any major breaking changes. React is also still 0.x :)
I spent the entire decade of the 2010's WFH, 1500 miles away from my company's HQ. I rose through the ranks (albeit more slowly than some of my peers), and left the company on good terms.

Thusly anecdotally armed, I can tell you that for cases towards the center of the bell curve, employees working in the office is better for the company and arguably better for the employee long-term. More shared vision, more opportunities for cross-pollination, more quick problem solving. All the usual arguments. It worked in my case, but productivity plummeted for the next guy who tried it, and we had to let him go.

It worked in my case because this was before the time when every kid expected to be able to work from home, and so I was terrified on a daily basis that out of sight would become out of mind. In the early days I made a point of traveling to HQ one week of every four, to meet the new folks and maintain relationships. I strove to overachieve so I didn't become redundant. Even so, by the end of the decade, with the growth of the company I was noticeably detached from the centers of power and the office culture, serving a role not much different from a contractor.

Not this specific post, which is reasonable and well-thought-out, but many rants I've heard by WFH proponents come across as myopic and naive. Yes, it can succeed sometimes, for some combinations of office culture and individual. Just based on my own experience, more often it doesn't.

> Generally, the stance of the WFH crowd is that each individual should get a choice of what makes that individual happy.

Salaried employment in this business (at least in the US) is a contract between you and somebody who wants to give you a lot of money, with some expectations in return. The person offering the money has the right to set the terms of that contract, and you have the right to reject that contract and work somewhere else. I view this as the actual "choice of what makes that individual happy."

Finally, let's not forget that people working in group settings is what got us here. It gave us the airplane, modern medical care, and the internet. New is sometimes better, but sometimes it's not.

The immune reaction to SARS-CoV-2 tends to happen at the boundary where the immune system encounters the pathogen (your mucosa, and the respiratory epithelium, where T cells and Natural killer cells hang out), but the immune reaction to the vaccines can happen in the muscle in your arm or in any other part of your body that the vaccine's components (eg. mRNA, lipid nanoparticles) or its products (eg. modified spike proteins) subsequently travel to and concentrate in, so we'd expect to see autoimmune disorders that affect things like the nervous system in weird and wonderful ways being caused by the vaccines in a way that we wouldn't expect to see being caused by the adaptive immune system.

I'm not pointing out they may not be talented, I'm pointing out that you are making a fundamental misattribution error by assuming that talent has a direct and causal factor to success and therefore observing success is equivalent to observing talent. Success is at best a weak indicator for talent having been fostered, which is a very different and vitally important distinction. The reason why this is important is because we do not live in a society with equal resource distribution.
Can we please stop with this lazy take? “ID your child in case of bad things” kits and programs have been around since at least the early 90s[1] if not earlier. Blockbuster used to have a program where in addition to fingerprinting your kid, you’d make a video tape about them [2] and school based programs have been around since at least the 80s [3]. This sort of lazy “no one would ever worry about their kids safety if it wasn’t for guns” hot take doesn’t do anything at all to contribute to the general discourse.

Poverty Data
Frankly, that's a distinction without a difference.

A governance policy is only as good as your ability to identify and enumerate your data, their provenance, their location, access controls, etc.

If no one person can do that job, it means they aren't actually tracking that information in a way that it can be holistically assessed, audited, etc.

Going to the original article that Business Insider cribbed from (which, of course, elides a lot of fascinating detail, because BI isn't a news source, it's an aggregator for people without attention spans): https://theintercept.com/2022/09/07/facebook-personal-data-n...

We find that this is supported by an internal Facebook document where an insider stated that:

> “We do not have an adequate level of control and explainability over how our systems use data, and thus we can’t confidently make controlled policy changes or external commitments such as ‘we will not use X data for Y purpose,’”

Which makes sense given one of their engineers noted:

> “It is rare for there to exist artifacts and diagrams on how those systems are then used and what data actually flows through them,”

With one specific example given regarding their ad tracking:

> “It would take multiple teams on the ad side to track down exactly the — where the data flows. I would be surprised if there’s even a single person that can answer that narrow question conclusively.”

So, to sum up: no one person can determine what data they're collecting. There is a profound lack of internal documentation and knowledge about how data is processed and where it flows. And Facebook themselves admits they can neither control nor explain how systems use that data.

And I'm supposed to believe that "Meta does have thousands of competent engineers, ensuring their data remains exactly where they want it to be"?

Please.
it's very rare to hear from such young parents having what sounds like a mostly good experience. how much were your parents able to help?

here in china the tradition is to get married early, and then live with the parents who are then able to help a lot with watching the kids. if i look down in the courtyard of our building it's practically only grandparents that are out in the morning with toddlers that are not old enough yet for kindergarten.

i find this model of a multi generation family very appealing. if only school were a bit more flexible with students who have children.

may i ask which country you are from?

if you imagine living in a country where parents get unconditional financial support, and you wouldn't have had to work, then i think, at least with your attitude, having children that early doesn't sound like a bad idea.

if only the attitude in that country would not be to look down on having children at age 15. it's almost always considered a failure, kids having kids, being ignorant about contraception, forced to drop out of school to take care of their baby, because society is simply unwilling to accept that with the right attitude this doesn't have to be a bad experience.
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing!
The APIs usable for adblocking in v3 are extremely limited in scope relative to the equivalents in v2. You can make a v3 adblocker, but it can't have all of the features that e.g. uBlock Origin users have come to rely on such as "cosmetic filtering" (blocking page elements, not just URLs).

uBlock Origin Lite (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin-lite...) shows what will still be possible under v3.
Well hell here goes my afternoon...

I've always wondered if I could write a good elevator algorithm. This gives me a framework to experiment with.
Good move on selling it tbh. Don't really see how much of an edge companies like this have considering it's built entirely on the GPT-3 API.

Congrats to Qasim.
Ha, good point. I'd like to get back to it someday but kids, work and lack of place to set up drums make it extremely challenging.
Men can raise children, but cannot get pregnant or breast feed. Going through that cycle with potentially multiple children is a big time investment that cannot be delegated to men.

Beyond that, yes, men are perfectly capable of performing child rearing tasks. Note, of course, this does not negate the argument against a two income family. Having a society where one income can support a family means fathers can devote themselves to raising their children, and so can mothers. Or alternate roles. Or one full time career and one part time career.
> No one is arguing about the general case, but specifically about Brave as a browser.

I'm telling you that the criticism against Brave's use of cryptocurrencies is informed by a well-warranted generalized belief that all crytocurrency schemes are scams. The only reason I don't slam my door on girlscouts is because it is immediately obvious to me that a little girl in a girlscout uniform is not a kirby salesman. I can see that difference plainly at a glance, without having to read or hear anything they say. To perceive the difference between Brave's scheme and a typical cryptocurrency scam takes a lot more effort and careful examination. It isn't fair to blame people for not putting in that effort, given the general odds in the cryptocurrency sphere.

A judge's signature is a necessary but insufficient part of such raids. It is absolutely reasonable to hold an agency with a troubled past accountable, regardless of which judge rubber stamps the raids. Hold judges accountable, sure, but the spotlight should be on the agency.

Then you go and block them as much as you'd like.

There are some people however who do see the benefit of trading (directly or indirectly) their attention for services and products. These people should be able to do it without having to give away their privacy as well.

The thing is: we have two different business models. On both of them, ads are a reality. But one of them they are (1) opt-in, (2) private and (3) still give the user the power to "vote with their wallet", even if there is no money directly involved. The other is what we have: Surveillance Capitalism, big players exploiting user data and a total misalignment between producers and consumers. To me it seems pretty obvious which one is better and which one I'd support.
>Women can get pregnant and breast feed. Men can't.

So that's 9 months + some amount of months breast feeding. What's the excuse after that? Couples of all types need to find the balance that is right for them, but the comments in this thread trying to use biology as an excuse to make 18 years (or life, as I see it) worth of child-rearing strictly a "women's issue" are living in the past.

>Many people will choose the elderly parents and little kids over academic work and promotions, given they have enough money to support themselves.
The academic work and promotions are just a means to an end, which for many is the ability to support and raise a family.

Must be nice. Meanwhile, the people in my area have shitty low paying jobs and can't afford housing, and are still trying to support their kids and elderly parents, all while having eff-all in the way of access to quality, affordable health care.
Spend any amount of time among ( let's be honest ) men and you see this attitude over and over again. They "let" their spouse stay at home. The SAH spouse spends all "their" money. The working spouse "supports" the family. There's a constant stream of posts on reddit about how how a working spouse should be able to come home and play video games for hours - they work so hard and deserve a break. Does the SAH spouse work hard deserve a break? What a ridiculous idea. See how often someone complains that they come home and the house is a mess and the laundry isn't done and dinner isn't ready. This isn't the attitude of an equal partner, this is the attitude of a boss. Does the SAH spouse get to review the working spouse's productivity each day? Give them access to the JIRA board and let them start asking why it's taking a week to support a minor version change.

I'm an introvert who treasures deep work. I'm not a monk. Going several days between IRL contacts is as distressing as going several days without solitude.

I think it's more nuanced than the introvert/extrovert duality. One needs a mix of socialization and stimulation levels. And ideally, control over that mix. Cycling between social and private spaces throughout the day was a way to achieve that. Now there's only one space. Either it's got other people in it, and there's no escape from them, or it doesn't, and you'll only ever see people by explicitly scheduled plans. Both of those are bad.

The open office wasn't a particularly good equilibrium, since you were stuck in a highly stimulating environment the whole workday. What I'd really like is what I had in college: access to a private room, shared but silent workspaces, and social/lounge settings. No one's going to pull you out of deep focus if that's where you want to be. But when you want to come up for air, you can wander over to a more social space and there's probably a few people there.
The practical side of WFH is what gets me – you're right, given that you can work from anywhere, why would a company pay top-city dollar when the same job can be done in a similar timezone by someone else who is still ok, but charges half.

> It's been amazing to me that developed countries have bemoaned birth rates... and then done nothing effective about it.

I always thought a low birth rate was a net-good: Something all countries are striving for. Like when your country drops below 2 births per woman, it has "made it" into the ranks of Developed Countries. Lower birth rate means fewer bodies to feed and a smaller environmental footprint. Sure, I guess it also means you have less "cannon fodder" both economically and militarily, but net net low birth rate countries are better off than high birth rate countries.
