I really like the sound/music fragments. I also like the write up. Nice writing here:

Choosing a sound is step 1, then the music content.
Harmony tends to follow naturally in this process, but it's limiting of possibilities if one cannot stop hearing the timbre of playback

-the process is like sewing a quilt, one fragment at a time things are tied together into bigger context

-or maybe planting a seed; from a tiny delicate thing into a tree.

For context, for ideological reasons, DeWine chose not to spend billions in emergency money previously allocated to Ohio during an massive global emergency [1], so its sus that Ohio would ask for or need federal assistance for what amounts to a very localized emergency solely affecting a single town in a single state.

At any rate, Ohio already has the money to respond to this emergency.

> Plus the new CEO has very little to work with at this point due to truly unbelievable attrition. The C-suite told everyone in an all-hands sitewide roundtable "We're not adjusting salaries for inflation, if you feel you're underpaid then find another job".

Perhaps a bit concerning when Buffett has been telling everyone that if they just sharpen their skills and work to be the best in their field, they won't have to worry about inflation. Either his companies don't hire very well, or he doesn't want to have to pay to retain good, experienced workers.

“If you’re the best teacher, if you’re the best surgeon, if you’re the best lawyer, you will get your share of the national economic pie regardless of the value of whatever the currency may be,” the then-78-year-old said [in 2009].

The ability for a small number of extremely wealthy people to dictate what laws should not be passed is not protection of the minority, and if it was intended by the founders (which in some ways it was, though not in the form it takes today) then it should be opposed.
Many employees were hired over the past two years being told they'll work from home - and have been. They simply don't live near an office. What's being done about them? Or is this a way to get rid of them without having to lay them off?
So I guess we’ll see a rise of supercommuters flying cross-country 2-3 days a week, because I can’t imagine many remote employees either want to relocate back to the Bay Area (Seattle in the case of Amazon) or take a 70% compensation hit by picking up a job in the local market.

I suppose for the east coast people you can take the first flight out to California Monday morning and get back home in time to wake your kids up on Thursday.
Not having a commute is such a game changer for work/life balance that it's hard to give up. I would actually prefer to go into the office more often if I could instantly teleport there and home as needed. I'd rather read my emails in the morning at home, go into work, and leave early to spend the afternoon in silent working.
There are folks from all around the world online, and many countries place their currency symbol after the amount.
This is only tangentially related to the article, but I recently quit a 2+ year stint at Amazon where I was permanently designated a remote employee who could not be called back into the office (one of the stipulations I negotiated in writing before starting).

Not only did Amazon try to weasel out of our written agreement, but I found Amazon's management to be toxic, their HR department lazy and ineffective, their base salary is bottom-rung and their stock isn't doing well, their benefits were the most stingy and dismal of any company I've worked for in my 30+ year career, they treat their customers like shit and their employees worse. The only benefit to staying the first two years was the sign-on bonus, which is spread out over your first 24 months. After that, you're better off working at a bootstrapped start-up.

I was fortunate enough to have an excellent manager during my first year, but that is definitely not the norm at Amazon. I'm not sure why anybody works there to start with, let alone if they're forced into multi-hour long commutes everyday, just so they can be marginalized and abused in person.
I don't understand _why_ FEMA is saying Ohio is not eligible for assistance. Is it because DeWine hasn't declared an emergency or don't the right escalation steps to get FEMA involved?

Why hasn't FEMA responded with something like; Ohio needs to do x y and z before we can assist?

Is this the federal government literally telling people to just fuck off because there's other stuff going on right now and 1000 trains derail every year? That's why FEMA or the federal government won't help because it's not a big deal?
You have to remember though that coding interviews != production code. Taken to the extreme, are you also adding logging, metrics, performance benchmarks, etc?

TDD is great if you can get it working in a tight interview time schedule - they can also reveal any misunderstandings of requirements before the actual solution is implemented!

On the flip side however, many interviewers have experienced countless folks who spend the majority of the interview time on tests and setup, only to run out of time on delivering the solution to the actual presented problem. When I feel like somebody's spending too long on these things I'll try to nudge them towards wrapping up the tests and moving onto the solution. You would be surprised though by just how frequently it's met with open hostility, by candidates with only 10-15 mins left in an hour-long interview and no solution started!

The price at which the stock was purchased shouldn't really affect decisions about the portfolio, should it?

As I understand it, from the perspective of a rational investor, inheriting a stock and not selling it is the same as inheriting the equivalent amount of money and buying that stock.
How much more money would need to be paid to go back into the office? I would need a 20% bump to go into the office again.
I've been more remote than not for almost 20 years with it varying a bit depending on what I was working on. But, if I could walk to the office or even have 5-10 minute drive? If people I worked with were mostly there? I would absolutely come in some of the time.
What you're describing is more applicable to an ordinary partnership, where the partners are personally liable for any debts or legal judgments against the partnership. Corporations and LLPs allow shareholders and partners to escape those liabilities, and it's reasonable to expect some duty to act in the public interest in return.

Look up your state's legislature and see how many people are employed as staff and analysts and then look at how many bills are proposed every session. Most bills are not written by the legislators or even their staffs, whether or not it's big business, activists groups, or whatever.

As for some of the over the top bloviating in this thread, that kind of nonsense just makes opposition useless because it's just not persuasive. "Democracy is a sham" whether or not you believe it in whole or in part or not at all won't help you get anything done and I'm willing to bet that the person saying that doesn't even know how to find what bills are pending in their state, let alone care except when a news headline makes them outraged. If you care that much do something, don't write revolutionary fan fiction.

Most laws don't affect you. If they do, support the people who vote how you want. It's not that hard and I'd be willing to bet that for the majority of people here the system is working out just fine for you.

Sure there's a radio signal, but Sidewinders are heat seekers. While I can believe one went for the electronics package on the Chinese balloon these pico balloons shouldn't have anything more than a bit of solar heating.

Detecting them is probably easy--note the balloon material appears shiny. Probably aluminized mylar, it will show up on radar.
Well that sounds like a sneaky "soft" RIF. And neatly avoids triggering WARN.

Romanians moving to Germany (as an example) should definitely be counted as immigration. They are still foreign nationals for Germany, with the caveat that due to agreements within the EU they are free to live and work in Germany without any extra bureaucracy.

That said it makes EU countries actually a lot less restrictive in terms of immigration than the US. EU member countries are not in anyway way equivalent to US states.

Hmm, I'm a grammar pedant and that one has never bothered me except in formal prose (real journalism, marketing copy, books).

It's spoken that way ("one-hundred dollars") so it's actually kind of intuitive to write it that way, even if it's technically 'wrong.'
I've successfully used SH3D to create plans for a 14'x24' workshop that a contractor then used to build it. A year later I used it to remodel 2 bedrooms with some funky closet arrangement and again gave the plans to a contractor to do the work.

It's got its quirks, but it's good enough to get a good idea of what things would look like. Most irritating is when its 3D viewer fails because of some random error as a separate window and has to be closed and reopened. Then again this was an older version. Maybe things got better since.
I’m going to suspect that HN is dominated by more senior folks with somewhat more established lives (like me). Often remote work is preferred for us. We already see work as more transactional, have more mobility, don’t benefit from the same level of coaching as juniors, and probably live farther away from a central office. Many of us could join a company and hit the ground running.

What I haven’t heard much - here at least - is the fresh, brand new junior employee perspective. What does it mean to be hired out of college into a fully remote company? Without the structure required of an in person college? How do you become coached and mentored as intensively as junior employees need? How do you establish early professional relationships?

Maybe in office had the benefit of paying it forward for these folks? From the senior generation helping acculturate the juniors to the company, but more importantly general technology culture?
I think it's funny. It reminds me of a paragraph in Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" book in chapter six:

There are far-reaching, visionary, and even revolutionary implications to the space program. Communications satellites link up the planet, are central to the global economy, and, through television, routinely convey the essential fact that We live in a global community.
Meteorological satellites predict the weather, save lives in hurricanes and tornados, and avoid many billions of dollars in crop losses every year.

Military-reconnaissance and treaty-verification satellites make nations and the global civilization more secure; in a world with tens
of thousands of nuclear weapons, they calm the hotheads and paranoids on all sides; they are essential tools for survival on a troubled and unpredictable planet.
We're very explicit about it in our hiring process. Our culture is that team leads serve to mentor junior people. If we introduce barriers to question-asking, then we're shooting ourselves in the foot. "Shut up and code" isn't our culture, by choice, and we let candidates sort themselves out accordingly.

We are embracing the term, because when everyone is a conspiracy theorist, it won't work to discredit people anymore by calling them that.
> You say tampons but do you mean contraceptives?

I don't want to come across as a proponent of an ugly situation, but I was being specific with my verbiage.

The law is currently stacked against women and makes it difficult to obtain contraception, and impossible to address the consequences of its non-acquisition or failures. Abortion isn't an option, even for rape cases. Obviously women want contraception, but it is being denied to them on purpose. The men in charge are playing the long game and shaping the circumstances to compel them to produce children.

(The conspiracy theorist in me suspects the current Adderall shortage is an intentional test run of dependency interference to see what the public is willing to put up with-- next time, it'll be a manufactured disruption in supply of chemical contraceptives.)

Your observations are correct but I was too terse-- it's not a tampons OR diapers dichotomy. Demand for both is going to increase. If there are more women, they will buy more (and better) hygiene products. If they are denied birth control, "choice" in child-bearing is reduced to a game of consistently beating the odds. When their luck runs out, they'll need diapers (and affordable childcare).

Only lesbians are safe from this nightmare. I don't know what they like to buy though.

I don't think they hired people fully remote. My 'remote offer' was still tied to chicago office, with expectation that i'll be back in office at some point.
I feel like a lot of these older platforms are being shown to be as rickety as they actually are, as malware and hacking toolkits improve and proliferate. Bad practices are going to show through, bigtime with this next cold war the US is entering.

Twitter actually tried to provide accommodations in their offices recently and ran into issues because of zoning and permitting. Some occupations (i.e. firefighters, doctors) do have short-term accommodation on the premises. It's complicated and may not be entirely down to decisions by the employer is my overall point.

His death aside, what is there to dispute? Did he or did he not have an island where he would enslave/have sex with 14 year old girls or not?

Did he or did he not have girls inside the high school getting paid to solicit and bring other high school girls to his house to give him massages?

Like what was Ghislaine Maxwell's defense? He was innocent and so was she? None of it happened? Some of it happened?
Regarding the commute, to me it feels like the employer saying "You're going to dedicate at least 5 more hours a week to work where you won't be compensated and won't be productive".

>But the water droplets/sand particles do NOT form a straight line if you accelerate the jug. You have to decelerate the jug with exactly the right timing to form a straight line, not accelerate it.

You can make a right triangle via either acceleration or deceleration at the same rate as gravity. However, you can only make an Isosceles Right Triangle with acceleration

Vertical position is a function of t^2. If you have constant horizontal velocity, you get a concave curve like this:

What a dumb post. Remote work can be just as productive or more productive. Workers work for a paycheck and want a good quality of life. That's not entitlement, it's called not being a bootlicker.
But I guess it doesn’t mechanically increase the stock’s price? Unless the buyer is Warren Buffet and it makes the news?
Agreed, those are the ecosystems that "just work".
It's weird, 10 years ago I implemented using Google Maps API a website with dynamic maps, distance matrix, geolocation, map overlays and address autocomplete completely free also at high traffic. It was also easy to use.

Five years ago Google started to charge an outrageous amount > $1000/month and we could not continue so we switched to something that cost $100/month. And that was for only the maps. We had to scrap the distance matrix and address autocomplete.

Today it's still the same status, and if you want something cheaper then you have to work on putting pieces together like the Washington Post does.
Oh really? Then why don't we say QUESTION MARK or PERIOD verbally for each sentence of you think the $ literally means "dollars?"
To me it seems like a very strange explanation.

Part of it is: If you wouldn't buy a stock at the current price, why wouldn't you sell the stock at the current price? Shouldn't the band where you do neither be very narrow?

But the bigger part is: Why do you care what someone else paid? All that should matter is what you are paying for this acquisition, especially if you're only keeping the AAPL.

Including AWS? (their golden goose)
Good point. Also consider this scenario:
Direct competitors choose different WFH policies.
Company A: exclusively in-office.
Company B: exclusively WFH.

Company B can allocate all the savings from office space and infrastructure towards increased employee compensation (or whatever else they choose to spend on).

Will the cost of office space prove valuable for the benefit of the in-person bonus performance?

I think that a "Company C" that kept all their office space and still allowed employees to exclusively WFH would be making a mistake.
In the worst case, you would react by directly attacking the adversary that launched them. Hopefully by the time things had reached that level you would have had an opportunity to exhaust all diplomatic channels and could have found a more peaceful resolution.
Non-elites are child-trafficking pedophiles as well.
I'm not familiar with policy surrounding this. Is disaster-relief funding fungible in the manner that you're suggesting it be used?
I also took it as "even if the end result isn't perfect, having it done is better than not doing it at all."

It has helped a lot with my hesitation to start projects.
You get wildly different results depending on how the team and leadership adapts to the situation. Neither is guaranteed to succeed and either can work if the team is committed.

For context, I work with hardware in a role most employers think is necessarily in-person.

The team I started the pandemic with adapted to lockdown by spending $500/person on buying equipment and having "just chat" times a couple times a week or before meetings where you could talk naturally. Periodic in-person drinks/dinner/events and an active chat helped too. That worked really well and the infrastructure we built turned out to be useful for all sorts of automation where people wouldn't be physically present anyway. The team is overall in a better position than before.

I also observed a team that didn't do any of that and simply went back to being in-person when lockdown ended. One way that manifested was as excluding remote workers from meetings/information flow. By complete coincidence, that team has trouble hiring and retaining people. When the people they do have take normal vacations or need visa renewals, they're completely unable to work because they never dedicated the time to building infrastructure around employees not being physically present. They're no worse off than they were pre-pandemic, but they effectively wasted 2 years.
I had a need for this kind of tool a while ago, and this was the ONLY decent option I found. I'm just wondering what alternatives are even available. I figured there must be some professional software for this, but if so, I don't know what it is.

I was pretty happy with this for whatever project I was doing at the time. I recently started using inkscape, for a general purpose drawing of my house. I can also include layers with other kinds of information like a circuit map. I can also include exterior information, like landscape design, buried utility lines, or assorted raster maps.

It just seems like a "whole-house visual diagram" software tool should exist.
Samsung and Intel exist and can serve TSMC clients for bleeding edge nodes. More fabs exist at older nodes. So if something happens to TSMC, there are options.

Though it would require significant work to move. And the alternatives may not perform as well. And there 100% would be supply shortages.

So overall pretty bad but I think Apple could survive it.
