Amen. I talked to some guys in their 20s in the oil and gas industry in Houston and they preferred using the old TUI systems because of this exact reason.
>I very highly doubt the healthcare industry would tolerate doctors wasting ~37.5% of their time

I am sorry, have you been in the workplace in the past 20 years and have you tried adding up all the meeting that get shoved into your calendar? I am lucky if 50% of my day is not taken away from me

To imply that someone from higher up wouldn't tolerate' that most of my time is spent in meetings is simply laughable, they are the ones creating them!
Imagine going up or down a floor. Really hard to do on top of existing walls, pretty easy with conduits in walls.

For this house, the easiest way to pull wires from one end of the house to another (after the original construction) is to first go down into the crawl space, cross horizontally there, then go up again.
That social expectation isn't really present in american football: teams will do lots of different things to manipulate the game clock toward the end (choose to run vs pass because the clock stops on incomplete passes or if the ball goes out of bounds, taking a knee, spiking the ball).
I can tell you first-hand, that's common. I control the hiring but not the ultimate say in the budget. Up to $X I can approve the hire, up to $YY I need to seek VP approval, up to $ZZZ I need SVP approval, up to $LOTS I need CEO approval. But all of those are feasible, given the right candidate. There is no hard ceiling on the budget, it's all about who I can convince.
Overfitted to the current legal context, market conditions, regulations, etc.

A classic example would be a company which outcompetes its rivals by working around regulation that companies in that sector are subject to. That enables it to gain a competitive advantage within the system it's operating in, but is pessimisation rather than an optimisation when looking at the bigger picture and longer timescales.
this is pretty much the current state: https://youtu.be/LYhs9E2W5MI I'm still struggling with quite a few of the boolean operations, because I don't actually understand how they were supposed to work on color bitmaps.

You’re quibbling over the layers of indirection a representative democracy adds, but it doesn’t fundamentally change. If the majority of people wanted to strips rights for those with disabilities, they would be well within the constitution to do it.

> Democracy is ultimately the same thing as any other governing philosophy, except it’s more malleable by people without concentrated power than most other systems. Certainly more than a bank or whatever.

Sure, but the point is that regardless of governing mechanism, the government is not acting in your interest (unless you’re an authoritarian dictator and even then there is internal resistance).
It most definitely is. :)
Writing it out beforehand and rehearsing seems like a great idea. So much easier to just end up using non-productive (or violent) communication if you don't rehearse a bit and make an effort to keep your communication and language very purposeful and conscious.
Misleading information (I don't want to use the article's silly buzzwords) is a genuine problem, and a security branch of the government is the last party I would want "policing" it. In democracies we have other institutions more appropriate to counter this, eg. educational institutions, journalists, non-profits like EFF, experts in the relevant field, etc.
While that makes sense, it doesn’t really answer why you don’t leave it plugged in.
Sorry if I'm a security noob but I have a genuine question.

> You can set up two shell companies and have them buy and sell the same paper clip between them thousands of times a second, for a million dollars each.

In the case of used goods, the only effect on GDP comes from the transaction fees paid to the broker. Same with buying an already existing house: the GDP contribution is the real estate and legal fees.

And with the stock and bond markets: a trillion dollars' worth of stock changing hands only affects GDP to the extent of the brokerage fees, maybe a billion, maybe less.
I spent the last month prototyping code for a demo that will not be checked in. I have a few small unrelated CLs submitted (minor fixes) but I spent 5 minutes per each, my main work for the month is completely unaccounted for in version control.

Should I be fired?
This memorization and strict adherence to past ways of doing things killed me as a developer. I was tasked with maintaining and customizing an Enterprise Resource Planning system. It was a terminal based app. Sometimes system upgrades would add a field to a screen. For example, perhaps country code was added, split from the phone number in the customer screen. I would frequently be requested to suppress the upgrade, or move the new fields so they didn't 'ruin' peoples memorized routines.

As the company customized more and more of the code base, upgrades to the system became more and more difficult. Every upgrade required a manual comparison of custom code to be merged with the baseline code. This led to skipped upgrades, and eventually a cessation of upgrades. Of course, after no upgrades over a long period of time it was eventually decided to move to a new ERP system.

I am still appalled at the things sacrificed to prevent disruption of a small group of peoples work flow.
Eh. I could offer anecdotes ( as I am sure many would as well ) about office life and how much time is spent pretending to work by engaging in vaunted water cooler discussions that recent anti-WFH corporate propaganda had the balls to brand as spontaneous collaborations. And I am saying this with over 15 years of experience in corporate bullshittery.

I honestly do not count "is he in chair staring at screen" as productivity. I count successfully finished projects as such, which brings to question what those managers are trying to measure if they are clearly failing so badly at this. I said before and I will say it again. Managers in US had an easy ride for the past 7 or so decades. Now they are actually asked to work instead of 'managing by walking' and they can't handle it. They need 'throw away their skill set due to Covid'. See twin trail of tears in my eyes?

Managers have all the tools they need and then some. The sheer amount of corporate monitoring software on corporate lappy is beyond astounding. Our manager does not seem to care, but I am horrified to think what other managers use it for. It is very, very intrusive. In other words, if managers can't measure even with those ridiculous and invasive tools at their disposal, what are they doing exactly?

<<I think Satya is on point when he talked about what employers say about productivity and what their managers think is actually happening.

Satya may be repeating what the managers are saying, but managers are saying that they have to actually work for morale and motivation. The horror.

<<Those who are being far less productive, though, are kinda ruining it for the rest of us and lots of managers know it.

Well, is it not manager's job to motivate and coach the less productive employee?
I don't really understand the purpose.

There was recently this info-graphic circulating here on Hacker News [1]. It shows all the metals we mined in 2021. There's a huge cube representing Iron, of which more than 2 billion tones were mined. Then there are progressively smaller piles. Aluminum, the next most mined metal comes at a paltry 68 million tons, Chromium at 41 million, and copper at 21 million.

Uranium is there, but it's not that easy to find. It comes at 48.3 kilo-tons, about 50 times less than nickel and 200 times less than Titanium.

Of course, coal is not in this infographic. People would get a bit spooked if they realized we mined 3 times more coal than iron ore. And we promptly burned it.

Has this even been released? I went to look for a release on the repo and website and only saw instructions for using it with Next js. Might as well call it Next.js if it can't easily be used with anything else. The only way I found to build it was from the master branch. The latest tip in master is not a release.

In this case 2FA is useful if someone sniffs your password (key logger) and uses it later to try and fail to log in without your presence. Many wireless keyboards don't use encrypted comms. Keyboards can be bugged easily. There is tech to observe to thermals of keys after they are pressed from a distance. And listen to key strokes. Or capture wirelessly transmitted keystrokes with a parabolic dish pointed at you from across the street if you are far away and an SDR or ASIC. Or a compact omni antenna in a backpack sitting next to you if you are in a public area. The possibilities are endless!

I've been poking at doing something like this lately. I'm so sick of browsers and I agree with your thesis. It's a lot to think about putting together a browser project from first principles so I've only done a few tests and flowed some stuff out. WebGPU really is the future especially because you can pipe around remote rendering and data. Is there an existing open project moving in this direction? Do I have to start it? Would you like to help?

I want to like this a lot, but it's not quite there for me.

A datum says it is "Project Billing" and has a rate of $300. Is that $300 per hour? Is that $300 total? What does that mean?

I need to be able to filter by location. For me, comparable large US cities. My cost of living is vastly different than someone living in India.

For this to be most useful, I need to be able to put in my rough skillset and then find how much similar people charge. Just browsing rates around the world isn't that useful.

And that brings me to the last issue. Hourly billing is stupid [1]. As much as possible, you should avoid charging hourly. It incentives you to work slower, more poorly, and have a worse experience with the client. But it's too hard to say, "I charged USD 100k for my project," because you need to have a complete and intimate understanding of the project.

For example, my latest consulting gig was fixing some Google Analytics and Facebook conversions for a small business. They were broken, and I fixed them. It took me ~15 minutes, and they paid me $1000. They got incredible value (their ads started working properly again), and I got paid for minimal effort. What do I put down on a site like this, $4000/hr?

> If a junior employee was to write up job descriptions for all of the roles on the org chart, what would the CTO's role and responsibilities be?

This is a fantastic question and good way to think about the issue. It may very well be that if I were to write down what I think he ought to be doing, that it would differ greatly from his own perception of what his role. But at least by identifying the divergence, we can work to rectify the situation.
Don't bother clicking. Business Insider wrote a bunch of words and glued some advertisements to a quote from a 2010 blog post [0] by Jon Manning which answers the "why" in the title:

> "We design the keynotes so that the big reveal of the product happens around 40 minutes into the presentation," Forstall said. "When the big image of the product appears on screen, we want the time shown to be close to the actual time on the audience's watches. But we know we won't hit 40 minutes exactly."

Ironically, the big reveal of the headline happens around 40 proverbial minutes into the article.

I have almost exclusively worked in early-stage startups, over the past 10 years as a CTO / Technical founder and I agree with Eric here, most start up founders have no idea what they are doing when it comes to equity, so more often than not its not malicious, you just get unfavourable terms because of a misconception of things like Dilution and other requests from VC's for further capital.

Dilution happens, but being diluted more than the founders is a no-no. It needs to be on the same level playing field. Having not only this in a contract but also a remediation should dilution pass a certain level is prudent.

It might feel like bad form to talk about this when you aren't even at the company yet but your due diligence now matters more than when you are on the job. Ask to see the finances, ask to see the investor holdings, ask the founders what % they own, research the VC's and funds that are invested, calculate the remaining runway at 2x growth, 3x growth etc - how long do they really have before they have to start raising funds. If there is any perceived opaqueness or subterfuge - walk away.

Also don't accept a low salary on the promise of equity alone unless:
- You are a founder and have preferred shares (and the amount more than makes up for it)
- It is something you truly believe in and you have a decent stake in it
- You have a pool of reserve funds to keep you going for 6 months should the shit hit the fan

Many start-ups fail because they can't get the funding they need and sometimes it gets desperate and VC's can smell this a mile off so the terms get worse for everyone - knowing this will help you know your worth at this point.

I think after this next start up I will be looking for a period of stability so I will only be going with well funded (3+ years runway at 3x growth size) start ups

"Democracy" is just the latest invention of the ruling class, frustrated by such events as the French revolution, or more recently, the fates of individuals such as Nicolae Ceausescu.

In practice, it causes the rabble to redirect their grievances from a formerly monolithic leadership to each other, increasingly turning a blind eye to mounting corruption and abuses of privilege within their own ranks, while blaming all the evils of the world on the other side.

This is how the restaurant chain deploying those kiosks sees it.

> the restaurant saves having to pay a person at the counter to take the orders, at the expense of massive customer frustration to the point where I hardly ever go to these places anymore

This is self-correcting over time, as more and more places adopt such systems. It's just another supplier-driven market. Fast-food restaurant meals are not really commodities. If I'm in a mood for, say, a McDonald's cheeseburger, there is no other vendor I can get it from[0], so I'm going to suffer through the kiosk experience. It's calibrated to be just about bearable enough that I'm not going to skip the meal because of it.

Everything seems to become more and more like this, in every market - burgers, fridges, cars, phones, webapps, everything. As annoying and abusive as possible without making it a deal-breaker, offered on a supplier-driven market, so the non-annoying, non-abusive alternatives don't exist.

A company like calendly telling people how they are supposed to use it as the post suggests, should be a non-starter, but experience suggests it's exactly the kind of thing a tech company would do.
