I am in that 40%. During the pandemic when things moved to remote, I sold my suburban home and moved to a regional area. Truth be told, I was already working remotely anyway. I did occasionally go into the office, but everyone found that remote work worked so well, they just decided to give people the option. It's not super regional, but where I am there is no sewerage, so I have a waste treatment plant (a fancy septic tank) and my kids have a yard, everyone is happy. I still have a 1gbps internet connect that is very reliable, phone reception can be spotty, but we love it.

Remote work is not only a way of life now for me, but my household. Our family moved to a new area and while it was a big adjustment for us, everyone is so happy. When we were living in our shoebox of a house, it was nice to be close to the beach and brand name stores, but everyone seems less wound up. The traffic isn't bad, it takes 15 minutes to drive to the town centre which has a reasonable sized shopping centre and nice restaurants. Public transport isn't great, but there is transport.

The best thing of all about working 100% remote is the flexibility. Some days I need to do the school drop off and pick up, I just let my employer know and it's not an issue. Sometimes I'll start earlier to compensate or work through lunch. I never miss packages anymore (I don't miss going to the post office to pick up packages). The postal service doesn't leave everything at your doorstep anymore like they did during the pandemic. If you need to sign, someone has to be home or they're taking it to the post office. I get to eat lunch with my wife, do some chores around the house. Sometimes I will get away from the computer and go out and push the mower to cut the lawn.

If I were to quantify how much we have saved in child care costs, it would be immeasurable. One child costs us $70 per day for childcare. There have been days when my kids have been sick and I was working from home, so I could help out, but also work on my laptop (even if it's beside them). When I finish work, I can go outside and kick a ball with my son. Remote work has been tremendous from a family bonding perspective. If I were working in an office, my kids would only see me on the weekends as I wouldn't get home until it's their bedtime and I would be leaving as they were waking up.

The one thing people need to respect is not everyone wants or can work from home. And I think people on both sides of the fence should have the choice. Obviously, if you're applying at a company that only works remotely, then you waive the right to complain. But, if the company offers both, nobody should be forced one way or the other. Flexibility is now a perk.
Yeah explosions are often taken from the sound bank that total annihilation took from and every time the intro plays in my head
I thought that - generally speaking - you can set a device to static IP (no DHCP) and set no gateway to prevent it to access the internet.

Or has this changed?
I did something similar but went to a coworking space. A very nice 10min walk from my house, a bunch of my friends also work there so we have lunch together, in the evenings we sometimes go for a drink, close to my gym so can do gym breaks as well. Life changing!
I think ChatGPT will get to us whether we want it or not. It has more obvious consumer applications, and I'm sure it has applications which have not been realized yet. The most obvious applications I can think of off the top of my head:

- Customer reviews on sites like Amazon can be gamed with significantly better accuracy, at significantly higher numbers. Presumably there will be a period where this is successful for marketers, and then eventually people will come to wholly distrust customer reviews altogether. This will also likely be the death of the "reddit" trick, where you can just query on reddit for real, live customer experiences with products.

- Significantly increased ads on anything like a social network, where a "user" might be talking about a product.

- Generally cheaper ability to write advertisements in a broad category of platforms.

- Sponsored misinformation (government, corporate, etc.) at scale.

To be clear, I think that ChatGPT is going to be a disaster for the internet.
comparing to garden leave plus severance here in Germany makes this 1-month for every year of working up to 12-months is a meh for me.
I've been using Twitter for the last 10 years in write-only mode and have even given up that a couple of month ago.
The thing this article doesn't say is that maplibre-gl v2 supports directly querying pmtiles with http range requests so you don't even need lambda or cloud flare workers to make x/y/z routes in front of the file. So instead of 50c, this is essentially free.

If you are going to to set up that infrastructure you could just use an mbtiles file which has been around for years.

The interesting thing to me is that this stuff is all built on the open source technology of mapbox, and it seems like a real threat to large parts of their business model. Interested to see how it plays out.
The attack surface of yubikey vs a laptop you carry around is interesting.

Nobody seems to reflect that if you physically steal the laptop, guess what, the usb key that's still in there was also stolen.

Anybody using USB locks? If you are focussing on FIDO for password management, I am assuming you are protected against HID emulating devices, like a rubberducky or teensy flashed with some malware installing HID emulator.

And you do use USB locks on your laptop, right? Right? Because if not then all that added layer of secure feelings is pointless from an operational security perspective, other than preventing shoulder surfing. And if you are using a FIDO key, you usually have to enter a password to use it anyways, so it does not really protect against that either.

You could've just used a password manager with a LUKS encrypted system and you have the identical attack surface from an operational perspective.
Sounds like a very common approach - build a small atomic feature front to end, test it, expand on top of that. This is, for example, the suggested approach in the Shape Up process. Works quite well for my team.
BlackSnake Ransomware Slithers Out of Chaos’s Shadows

https://thecyberexpress.com/blacksnake-ransomware-malware-en...

After Onyx and Yashma ransomware variants, BlackSnake has become the latest offshoot of the Chaos ransomware strain, reported cybersecurity firm Cyble.

Extremely sophisticated and advanced, Blacksnake ransomware has already been used in several attacks, targeting a variety of organizations, including healthcare, finance, and government entities, according to Cyble.

The ransomware is reportedly being distributed through phishing emails and social engineering tactics.

Moreover, the peddlers of this malware were spotted selling it on data breach marketplaces too.

You absolutely are knocking on crypto, as you should. The only morally legitimate use case I’ve seen for crypto was when it was one way you could still donate to the scihub lady.
Yes you should do all those things if you’re comfortable risking all of your company’s money on a bank about to collapse which could happen in a matter of hours.

the legal system is not black and white. You go to court and there’s a judge and possibly a jury that hears your story, and decides if what you did deserves punishment.

Attempting to safeguard your company’s assets hours before a bank’s potential collapse will garner sympathy from just about everyone.

I understand your points; but people banking with SVB may not be able to run this month’s payroll if they don’t move their money. That will cause more problems than anything else we’re talking about right now.

Unfortunately a bank run is very likely due to VCs mass emailing portfolio companies. I hate to be yet another person promoting this, but it’s always best to be the first ones out during a collapse.
Ahah carmageddon used that.
Could this become a problem for YC as well?

In a thread about dysfunctional and mismanaged projects, you describe a very dysfunctional and mismanaged project in a way that brings out the hilarity, frustrations, contradictions, and impossibilities of the situation. Good job! And then the majority of the replies completely miss the entire point and ask some variation of why didn’t you just superhero up and solo run the project? Providing extra entertainment by unintentionally highlighting exactly the manager galaxy brain that leads to such incompetently run projects. I love it!
It's not accessing that page live (or recently cached). That's not part of how it works. It's possible the model was updated and has learned from that, but it's also very possible it's just made up the answer. The old model cutoff was 2021 I think, I don't know if/what newer training has been done.

If you are having a substantial amount of kids at least one partner's income is entirely eaten up by childcare expenses so it is cheaper to simply not work and take care of the kids full time.

Ask yourself -why- this always pops up. We're learning a lot more about the side-effects of mRNA vaccines since a court denied Pfizer the 75-year moratorium it requested on releasing its test results to the public, and since studies have been released into the safety of the vaccines

> For Chomsky, I don't think I've ever witnessed someone speak who exudes more intellectual power than him.

Begs the question of whether he actually has that intellectual power, or you have only got this impression thanks to his successful bloviation.

> He seems to possess a near photographic memory, recalling specific phrases from some newspaper or journal article from decades ago.

Nope. Or, if he has, he uses it very selectively. Read some of the counters to his political writings, and you'll get lots of examples of him twisting the words of his opponents, and conveniently forgetting his own earlier ones.

> He seems to be quite honest about his own work and addressing things with humility.

No. Given his intellectual dishonesty in his political writings, I see no reason to trust his character elsewhere either.

If you’re trying to sell off several tens of millions of dollars of BTC, you don’t go to an exchange - you go to an investment bank. Goldman will happily run that for you.
Very helpful! I had previously mis-interpreted the “intelligence community”’s assessment of “high probability / low confidence” as meaning a 92.3% likelihood, whereas it actually means 75.8%.

If only I had been in possession of this arcane knowledge back when they were telling us about babies in incubators, WMDs, the domino theory, or any number of other hilariously inaccurate and/or dishonest narratives, I would have been much better informed.
Hi. Perhaps you and I and others can be part of making it good.

I went through a phase of seeking outrage online, and while I’m not wholly reformed, I can report that some conscious reflection and rededication of where my emotional energy goes has helped me feel better and have more fun.

A tour of your comment history find a very large proportion that might be characterized as political outrage, attacks on other commenters, or dead/flagged responses.

I don’t presume to know you or how you’re doing, but in all sincerity and interest in a fellow human and member of the technerd tribe, I might gently suggest exploring how you’re engaging here, and if another approach might accrue long term benefits.

Take care.

Surprised Xiaomi hasn’t disrupted that industry yet.

People have been doing that for a year now. It's not new. It didn't start happening because of SI and SVB.
Those are also the printers that track in software if the 'waste ink reservoir' is full (which happends after a certain number of printouts) and brick when they reach the limit requiring you to send the printer to the manufacturer.

you were just leveling with your teammates which were also hard workers. I experienced this in my last job and I'm trying to reproduce it, but I find it difficult to recreate in another environment.

It is different than being a super hero and hand hold a project while your teammates watch you from the side.
I'm anti-crypto because of all the time I have to waste listening to crypto bros about how awesome their digital tulips are. They don't take "I don't want to hear about crypto" for an answer, either

This is just false. People can be stuck at a company for a variety of reasons.

•probably no need to panic” is accurate.

But at least with my company’s money, there’s no room for “probably” when it comes to my ability to pay our employees.

Our company will be dead if we can’t make payroll or if we can’t pay our credit card bills. That’s not something any CEO wants to risk just to avoid a bank run.

A CEO has a fiduciary responsibility which includes making decisions that are in the best interest of the company. Taking no action at this point is just irresponsible.
Interesting, and certainly convincing. I have a paid account, I wonder if this makes any difference? It would make sense to me that it is basing it's 'reality' off of the prevous 21h1 page(which would have existed) and it understands the goal I am trying to achieve.
Local transfers in many jurisdictions are instant or near instant [1]. UK based FPS is just one of many.

International transfers are certainly not instant - Wise originally innovated a cheaper and faster solution to this problem, but that crown is fast vanishing as rivals heat up their offerings (Atlantic Money, Revolut, amongst others).

BTC is a valid alternative to these options. My real gripe is the on/off-ramp between FIAT and crypto. That's where the fees are in my experience.

By "fair enough", I was mostly thinking of edgyquant's second sentence. With regard to "entirety of all earth life", I think the point here is that these are all subjective opinions - The universe either will or will not undergo heat death regardless of what any of us think about it. Obviousness is an opinion, and in my opinion, SketchySeaBeast's attitude to the possibility of heat death is just as obvious as edgyquant's, and there is no objective reason to adopt one over the other.
>> "the human mind is nothing but a pattern matcher"

The role of PM is not a creative one, the purpose is bureaucracy to improve the noise/signal ratio.
I had a similar setup: private office (not a great view, though) and 5-10 minute commute.

I would still only work from home.

I enjoyed riding my bike to work when the weather was nice, but I’d rather ride to other places instead (better routes). Same goes with walking, I’d rather walk around my neighborhood and nearby parks and lakes than the central business district.

I suppose my point is that even if you’re in an ideal situation, the office still doesn’t make sense. Most people are not in that position so it makes even less sense.

The occasional face-to-face get together is nice, but you don’t need an office for that.
> After dozens of hours of training, ChatGPT still does not fully understand the TLP principle, and the predicates in some of its rewritten SQL are wrong. All things considered, however, sufficient training may help ChatGPT fully understand this logic at some point in the near future.

ChatGPT remembers nothing in between chat sessions - so "dozens of hours of training" here doesn't make sense.

What would make sense here instead is coming up with a prompt (within a sensible token length limit) that can be pasted into future ChatGPT sessions that gives it some extra context it needs based on prior experimentation.
The quality of my ecotank's printing is terrible on normal mode, but when I put it into high quality mode it looks nice.
A few years ago, when our startup was just beginning, our bank simply closed our account out of the blue. I guess it wasn't worth it to them, as we had no revenue yet and bootstrapping, so very little money parked. It took several days to get our money out, we couldn't make payroll and pay vendors in the meantime.

We later opened two accounts in two different banks as a backup/failover strategy. One handled incoming invoices and accounts payable, while the other handled payroll, so we'd always have money flowing through both banks at all times. If one of them failed, locked us out etc. we'd have the other to fall back on. It actually happened once: due to an admin error one of the accounts was locked for 10 days. We just routed payments and receivables to the other bank and went on with our day.

The example in the article doesn't make sense to me. It basically says "You want to switch out a piece of a monolith to a new service, you do it with feature flags etc. That's hard." Which is true.

But then it says "Steel Threads is better. Instead of switching out a part of your monolith, you... switch out a part of your monolith but it's a smaller part. That's not as hard". Which is true but isn't that the same thing? It's not clear to me what the qualitative difference is that requires the introduction of new terminology?
Heh, not real music. Exclusively chiptunes that run on old hardware, mostly covers with some originals. I'm starting to post those here, I've got a dozen more that I just haven't rendered the videos for yet:

I have a lot to learn, and melody writing is still not a strong suit, but it's a fun side project all the same. I'm working on a rhythm game for NES, so the OST for that will be my first big original music project.
The problem is that one (ambiguous) term in English can cover more meanings or scenarios while in other language it may be required different words based on situation, for instance "lap" in swimming pool or stadium, heck even very basic "subscribe" can differ whether you are subscribing paid service or some free content in some languages, while in English you can easily use same word for both scenarios.

One would think TM and glossaries are the very basic requirements when requesting translation to update already existing translation, but I agree some companies don't provide these, which can cause inconsistencies when changing translator/company.
I have a paid account too. I'm very confident that it doesn't fetch URLs, despite doing an extremely convincing impression of being able to do so.

No one can do meetings effectively like this. This is why I always suggest to participants to prepare upfront and use the meeting time to make decisions and not deep thinking. Also I try to never let myself be pressured into a decision without deep thinking up-front.
No, by outspending them militarily, encouraging Solidarity in Poland, and forcing Gobarchev to realise the inevitable.
> I think it's pretty unreasonable to call him a "hustler" [...] a mark of striking (and uncommon) intellectual honesty.

No, given his towering intellectual dishonesty in political writings, he is a hustler.

If his actual scientific work isn't a hustle, too bad for him: Having revealed his character in one arena, he's shot his reputation and disqualified himself from the benefit of the doubt in all arenas.

So we are a little over a year into this aggressive monetary tightening policy and we are seeing banks begin to appear to fail with base money demand issues like this SVB crisis.

This happened in 1930 a year after the crash started and again in 2009 a year after the events of 2008.

Fed policy will be interesting in the near term. I know they are fighting inflation but they may have to concede this is a battle that will be fought over the next several years and that deliberately destroying the economy through too aggressive rate increases is bad medicine.
