> In both cases productivity was noticeably worse, most especially for new employees onboarding remotely

Then that means your company doesn’t have a proper onboarding procedure. I was hired at $BigTech in June 2020 and didn’t meet any of my coworkers in person until 9/2021. I had a complete organized onboarding experience including all of the prerequisite indoctrination.

You guys really need some humility, you'd think the stock market and by extension your collective portfolios, but particularly tech growth stocks losing +60% (including FAANGS) would do it, but until you guys get rolled into the mass tech layoffs and get a taste of what living precariously due to extermal economic crisis' is like will you understand what a self-serving bubble you've all been living in. The level of self-delusion isn't just cringe, it's honestly the cruel self serving narcissism that explains the 'how and why' the Valley looks like the cesspool that it does: financial inequality, mass poverty, rampant substance abuse and poor mental health are all the costs of entry so we tech titans can make billions of go-no where apps like Doordash burning VC money. But we get to tell ourselves we're above everyone else because we're rewarded with foosball and free snacks in our workplace.

With that said, a market correction was necessary and admittedly my timing was off (I felt a 50% correction was about right in early May, I felt it was the bottom), and we needed to clear out the mess just like the ICO craze; this is just next wave of mal-investment being cleared seen in a healthy market and if you want to know the truth: it's in bear markets that this is when the tech gets built--lots of exciting things are being built in layer 2, as well as continuing to reduce the network's energy use on fossil fuels. These yield farms were the biggest scams and we told people that NYKNYC for a reason.

But, you wouldn't know that because you've apparently convinced yourself that your clairvoyance has imbued you with a divine vision of some sort... seriously, stop drinking the kool-aid guys, it's why the satire in Silicon Valley (series) hit so close to home.

> And they don't even provide much power

Typical caravan hookup here is single phase, 230V, 16A. This is ~3.5kW. Typical EVSE is 3-phase and 32A — ~22kW. That is fast enought for fully charging an EV overnight/during a working day. In fact there are plenty of EVs where AC charging is limited to 11kW. This is not a roadside fast DC charger, the application is quite different. Statistically most people charge less than 20kWh to get to the full battery in such scenarios.

Yeah an entire generation of engineers is obsessed with this stuff, it's not going away.
Yes, you can take huge risks within the law if you want, and if you do, have fun! You're probably going to lose it all at some point soon. Cryptocurrency/Web3 has had a lot of actual fraudsters and thieves, and a lot of them deserve jail time. Hopefully, some of them will get some.

By the way, expanding on the arbitrage I mentioned, the Kimchi arbitrage was a well-known trade and the big players in cryptocurrency weren't doing it for good reasons. South Korea's capital controls and anti-money laundering laws would make it very difficult to do legally without risking your other trading operations in the country. SBF was brazen enough to go for it (and risk-tolerant enough to carry a huge number of Bitcoins on his balance sheet for the ~week it takes for them to actually move) and it worked out well for him. In retrospect, it revealed a lot about his personality.
In the articles hypothesis were correct this might not be a surprise, building a weight lifting robot would likely be much easier than one that could traverse complex terrain at even 4 mph.
I had a manager who was exceptional during the time she was allowed to lead. Later she got a new manager who micromanaged her so she lost effectiveness.

She trusted us to be experts in our domain. She was adept at navigating stakeholders and getting us what we needed.
> So why not let them have a bit more salary then you?

One can agree that child-rearing and domestic work are productive activities while still disagreeing with your proposal to inflate salaries.

For instance, instead of what you're proposing, the state can treat these activities as an actual job and pay accordingly. This no longer conflates the issue by making other entities (private employers, tax code, etc) fill in the gaps on what society at large claims it values. Now, I'm not saying I endorse this solution, but rather that there's more to the discussion than how you're framing it.

I don't agree with your logic that childless adults are free riders, and you omit many of the upsides to raising kids that childless adults willingly forgo, or the fact that childless adults often play vital roles in their families and communities that regular parents often don't have the bandwidth for.

You also haven't really talked about the ecological impact of first-world nations having more kids and whether that's wise or sustainable. You act as if it's a priori a net good.

Last, I'd argue that one of the benefits to having a sufficiently advanced society is that people are granted more agency to live as they see fit.
> How many dialects of C++ are there

Dozens. The standard language has been through numerous revisions (C++ 2.0, 98, 03, 11, 14, 17, 23), with no doubt many more to come - each version is a dialect. And there have been dozens of compilers, all of which define extensions to the standard - some of those extensions are copied by other compilers (and may eventually end up in the standard), others are unique to that implementation - so each compiler (even each of its successive major releases) can be viewed as a dialect. And then there are dialects defined, not by the core language features, but by which features are used, by which external libraries are used, etc. One C++ programmer is addicted to esoteric template metaprogramming, another avoids templates and treats C++ as a slightly improved version of C. One C++ programmer uses every Boost library they possibly can, another refuses to use any third party dependencies. One uses exceptions and RTTI heavily, the other always turns them off. Aren’t those all effectively different dialects, even if they are both using the exact same version of the same tools?

And then there are entire languages defined as extensions of C++, such as Apple’s Objective C++, or Microsoft’s Managed Extensions for C++ and then C++/CLI and C++/CX - and also more modest extensions such as OpenMP

Considering C++ is an object-oriented extension to C, it belongs alongside other such extensions - most notably Objective C and D (and even, to a lesser degree, Java and C#) - and there have been other attempts at that which weren’t successful - aren’t they all (in a sense) C dialects?
A large factor in the push for C# was that MS was sued by Sun for their not-totally-compliant Java dialect, Visual J++, and had to drop it as part of a settlement.

They also had Visual J# which ran on .NET, allowing Visual J++ and Java programs to target that platform.
Dropping precipitously in value isn't actually a sufficient condition for a bubble. Something highly valued initially but undermined completely by a tech revolution comes to mind. Bound encyclopedias come to mind, post-internet.

I think there's room for what looks like legit player like Coinbase, a HN unicorn, in addition to decentralized exchanges.

People who want to go into crypto need an on-ramp / off-ramp like Coinbase.

Coinbase claims actual people really deposited at least $44 billion USD and that these USD are used to back the USDC stable coin emitted by Coinbase 1:1. But that doesn't tend to be mentioned here.

Coinbase's stock rose 20%+ after FTX's scam was exposed. So there are actual people out there thinking that, no, this is not the end of crypto and that Coinbase will actually benefit from the FTX and BlockFi (and hopefully many other) scammers' downfall.

I wish tether/iFinex/Bitfinex would die a quick and painful death and Coinbase were to completely replace them.

To me there's room for legit centralized players and I sincerely hope Coinbase is one of them and I wish them the best.
Selling features to sellers, locking them in? I'm just guessing here.
> The moment you name the type, you're talking about a particular implementation, no?

Depending on the language, no. In many languages types can be subtyped, and if you name the supertype you do not know necessarily which implementation you have. (Incidentally, in Haskell, a Map is not a HashMap, it is a tree map.)

> The actual definition of the hash map data structure is given by the algorithm. In fact, without inspecting the algorithm, it's impossible to know it correctly implements a hash map, you're just trusting the arbitrary name of the type.

This is exactly my point! The question we started with is: does the type signature help you to reason about how to transition from one data structure to another data structure without having to think about the details of the algorithm? I argue that it does, because I tend to trust that standard library designers aren't capriciously violating my expectations for what a Map is.

If you trust the standard library designers, then the type signature abstracts away the implementation details of the algorithm so you can do what Rob Pike recommends and focus on the data.

If you don't trust your language's standard library, you have worse problems than difficulty reasoning about type relations.
It absolutely does not work. Violence finds a way.

Another issue concerns money laundering. There are all sorts of regulations to try to prevent this in the traditional financial system. If crypto gets regulated then money laundering regulations are going to be added to it--and there goes a major use case for crypto.

Hey, I got an idea!

You know, we could attack The Declaration Of Independence -- because we don't like any of its writers -- Thomas Jefferson? He owned slaves! John Adams? He was affiliated with that seditious Washington guy! Benjamin Franklin? He wore a stupid hat! <g>

We could attack The Constitution in the same way!

Steps:

1) Choose a random writer or signatory.

2) Find the one unvirtuous act (in a whole lifetime of more-or-less virtuous acts!) -- that the public is most aware of.

3) Use that act to frame that historical writer or signatory -- in the most unvirtuous light possible.

4) Now, because the writer or signatory is framed in this way, that creates (by implication) -- the idea that the document is "bad" in some way -- when in fact it is not!

In fact, we can do the same thing to all the great historic documents of all time -- for that matter!

The Constitution Of The United Kingdom, The Magna Carta, The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights -- the list goes on and on!

Just attack one or more authors -- and you're attacking the document!

Harry Potter? Harry Potter sucks because J.K. Rowling did some small unvirtuous act in her youth, and that makes the book bad!

Star Wars? Star Wars sucks because I heard that George Lucas stole a piece of candy when he was 12! <g>

Your Math Teacher told you that 2+2=4? Well, that's wrong because that Math Teacher is a bad person because of some small unvirtuous act they may have committed (it's alleged, not proven!) -- 50 or 60 years ago! (I think it involved not thanking a student for an apple, or something like that, at least that's the way it was reported to me by a newspaper who reported it from TV news article who reported it from another newspaper who reported it from a guy who claimed it to be true while buying some donuts in midtown Manhattan...)

It reminds me of that quote from Billy Madison...

"Maverick boy genius that shatters conventional wisdom" is a well-established media trope, with decades worth of films and TV shows priming people into thinking that is plausible.

Fwiw, most CSS-in-JS libraries don't use `style` directly, and so also allow the same features. One thing I've seen often is to use a `css` pseudo-prop so that it looks a bit like using `style` (but you've still got access to the full force of normal CSS rules).

My favourite variation of this so far has been typestyle, which I believe works along essentially the same principles as in Elm.
