The real value prop of having a full time employee, is you own their full time focus five days a week. It's not about practicing a trained skillset, or providing expertise ONLY, it's also about owning part of the business, managing other employees, and deep understanding of the product and how to market and deliver it to the user.

I'm not saying that's good or bad, however it is definitely not clearly stated-- not in schools, universities or in job descriptions. Society tells your for decades you're supposed to specialize and then get paid for that skill, yet most companies are expecting so much more.
With (imho closely related) bayesian statistics you can add those rules into your model, the problem is that it quickly becomes computationally intractable to do exactly (in a calculate this N dimensional integral with N>>1000 kind of way).

So in the end you still end up fitting some simplified vaguely similar model/function to your data and/or using sampling to keep things tractable.
Feel free to read how to do it

Real co-ops have similar structures as you describe. There is a large variety, since their structure often depend on regional regulation, the companies own "constitutional" rules and the legal category they fall onto (worker collectives, client-customer co-ops, co-ops related to banking or credit, agricultural co-ops...).

There's often:

* Minimum ratios of owner workers (never 100%, often more like 30%)

* Maximum difference between lowest and highest salaries (they often have difficulties offering competitive salaries to executives).

* Limits on how much of the profits are reinvested or shared as dividends.

* What happens during crisis times: regulated salary reductions, more executive control...

There can be configurations that can work very well, with a good compromise between worker ownership, openness to investment and global competitiveness.

It's always been niche though. In reality (from personal experience) if the first few founders are able to get minimal capital, it makes much more sense to hire instead of get more co-founders. Even if you can't, it tends to be preferable to keep the founders pool quite small.

Individual shareholder-hires can bring in little capital, have a disproportionate influence on how things are done and are hard to get rid of if things don't work out or if the situation changes (which always does frequently in a startup). There's a reason why this has only been done seriously when workers were desperate to revive an economy, or when they are being exploited by monopolistic corporations. Collective ownership tends to be very hard to organize at the beginning and can be quite inflexible due to the inevitable internal politics. When things are bad, everyone tends to be more aligned towards making things better together. And it only tends to scale when this culture becomes deeply ingrained in the organization.

It can get a bit cultish, Mondragon has their own (rather good) university where they train the type of employees they need (mostly talented hardware engineers, but many other degrees too) and educate them on their culture early. It's just a normal university, you can go anywhere afterwards, but you do end up quite connected to their network in practice.

OK cool you have a hypothesis on how you can reduce the amount of harm done in the world. How are you going to go about doing something about it? Are you going to increase the severity of the punishment for stealing a car? Or should you address a root cause? To use your metaphor a seed would be much easier to control than trying to tell a grown tree where to drop its leaves in the fall.
> 4. RISC exists on three levels... Finally, a hardware implementation style (deep pipelines, etc) that results.

I agree with the philosophy and ISA, but I don't think RISC is actually counts as a hardware architecture.

Yes, there is a certain style of architecture strongly associated with RISC, the "classic RISC pipeline" that a lot of early RISC implementations share. But RISC can't claim ownership over the concept of a pipelined CPUs in general and designers following the RISC philosophy almost immediately branched out into other hardware architectures directions like superscalar and out-of-order execution (some also branched into VLIW).

Today, the "class RISC pipeline" is almost entirely abandoned outside of very low-power and low-gate count embedded cores.

The primary advantage of the RISC philosophy was that it allowed them to experiment with new hardware architecture ideas several years early than those competitors who were stuck supporting legacy CISC instruction sets. Especially when they could just dump their previous ISA and create a new one hyper-specialised for that exact hardware architecture.

Those CISC designers also followed the same path in the 80s and 90s, implementing pipelined architectures, and then superscalar and then out-of-order, but their designs always had to dedicate more gates to adapting their legacy ISAs to an appropriate internal representation.

----

But eventually silicon processes got dense enough for this inherent advantage of the RISC philosophy to fade away. The overhead of supporting those legacy CISC ISAs got smaller and smaller.

All high-performance CPUs these days seem to have settled on a common hardware architecture, doesn't matter if they use CISC or RISC ISAs, the diagrams all seem to look more or less the same. This architecture doesn't really have a name (which might be part of the reason why everyone is stuck arguing RISC vs CISC), but it's the out-of-order beast with absolutely massive reorder buffers, wide-decoders, physical register files, long-pipelines, good branch predictors, lots of execution units and (often) an uOP cache.

Intel's Sandybridge is the first example of this exact hardware architecture (though that design linage starts all the way back with the Pentium pro, and you also have AMD examples that get close), but Apple quickly follows up with Cyclone and then AMD with Zen. Finally ARM starts rapidly catching up from about the Cortex A76 onwards.
yea let's surely blame Russia out of the blue without a shred of evidence! Don't you have a Die Hard movie to write?
The same trend applies to all forms of close relationship. So no, it is a problem if you want to maximize any form of social cohesion.

So do microservices.
The piece of the WFH debate that I think is the most interesting is the “I work for someone else but think I get to dictate where and how that happens, despite the mountains of labor laws that say the exact opposite” mindset.

Negotiate what you want from your employer, move on to a different employer, or hang a shingle. Leave the entitlement out of it. This has nothing at all to do with “freedom.” Business is business. If you sell your labor to someone who chooses to buy it, you’re in business.
That solution works pretty well, but also has limitations. I much prefer WFH, but am happy to head to the office every once in a while (current rate is about quarterly). But COVID made it reasonable to hire fully-remote workers, and now that the office is open (and has been for a while), our coworkers thousands of miles away can't really pop in on short notice.
To the downvoters: why?

What a missed opportunity. Imho Capitalism should be understood as "a system where the size of your capital determines the actions in society", which is undoubtedly where we are. Some financial actors have become so large they can buy a significant share of a company and effectively dictate what they want them to do. And they don't even need their own money. They are using _your_ money.

It is your money inside pension funds, or index funds which large financial institutes can use to get more influence throughout the economy. And you can thank private equity for the hollowing out of the housing market or medical care sector.
It's not just bosses brains, imagine working in a low payed role with no WFH option, and you don't get any benefit like WFH, what is being done for those people so they don't resent the WFH class.
My org had configured it so I can't use any of these apps that use the API, so that's pretty disappointing.
> WFH people don’t have a reason to insist that their colleagues WFH

One potential reason is that some companies don't treat WFH employees as first class citizens, and due to various reasons in-person employees get ahead, get better projects, are promoted more, etc. I think I agree with the child comment saying companies probably have to pick one.
I agree with just about everything you've said, except that bit about rewrites. Rewrite projects typically go down in flames, and on the rare occasions that they don't, the business stakeholders are still mad because their precious feature factory was down for maintenance for months.
Even the end entity keys are rarely interesting. Increasingly they are signature keys, and so the only thing you can use those keys for is impersonation, which is cumbersome. What you want more often are session keys so that you can either listen in live (if you obtain in time) or decrypt a transcript later if you don't. Because this is passive it's harder to detect and easier to deny.
Or copy to usb and mail. Or take photos with your phone.

Does it?
Cognitive-Driven Development
Non-imposing mixed work as in "and we supply an office if that's your thing" is basically the same as WFH, so it can't be the worst of both worlds.

Task-based mixed as in "those activities require coming to the office" doesn't create a lot of problems, but you will discover that workers will demand some incentive to engage on those activities.

The one that is the worst of both worlds is just the "we require your presence 3 times a week", but that is just the failure mode the article talks about presenting itself on a different way.

Maybe this is anecdotal, but all the people I've seen who love working at the office are either single, or have something at home they don't want to be around (whether that's partner, kids, neighbor, parents, etc).

All the people I see at my (current and previous) jobs complaining about WFH and wanting to be in the office are the people who I'd see there still working at 10pm.

IMO the simple problem here is that people are being paid for their time, not their output. Sure, the output is what is valued, but folks are paid for their time via an annual salary.

In part, this is because it’s too challenging to value and measure each person’s output, especially in orgs with a lot of different roles. It’s just easier to say, “well the market for a designer is X so let’s pay some % of that”.

The problem with that, often, is that folks don’t actually know how much output they might expect from a lot of roles. Is this designer performing? This PM? Unless you have a real breadth of experience in these roles (almost nobody does), you look to other metrics like “are my teams unblocked”, “did this product ship”, “do these slides seem reasonable”, etc.
IMO those are also imperfect because a great team, a great project, etc. can sometimes easily mask someone’s meagre contributions.

I think some employees knowingly exploit this knowledge gap. I don’t think it’s common, but it happens. We’ve seen people post their own examples of doing that here on HN.

So, given they often lack experience evaluating output, some managers want to see their high-priced employees at work to even understand what they’re buying. You can call that onerous micromanaging, if you want. A less cynical take could be “managers want other signals to understand how their team members contribute.”

That’s my 2 cents, at least.
I can vouch for my Arctis 5 to be the most comfortable PC Headset I've ever bought. I had to replace mine after ~3 years due to multiple parts slowly failing (cable, plugs, volume knob on the headset).

I'm not sure I entirely agree. It definitely can be, but I think adjustments can be made.

I usually point at the way F1 teams do their meetings where everyone wears a headset, even if a bunch are in the same room: https://tinyurl.com/2uenm69f

But often if you suggest this to traditionally office based people they feel daft doing it and plough ahead with a mic/speaker in the middle of the room and the remote guys become second class citizens, not being able to hear half the room.
CSS frameworks became a thing because CSS lacked a built-in way to handle two-dimensional layout (also known as a grid), so we used frameworks to handle the misuse of floats, layout: table (a.k.a. CSS tables) and Flexbox, to deal with page layouts.

CSS Grid for two dimensional layout enables us to make far more sophisticated layouts than frameworks every allowed with much less code. Yes, there's a lot to Grid and Flexbox (for one dimensional layout), but even if you get 50% of it initially, you'll be far ahead of most developers who can only use Bootstrap and the like.

Many developers didn't learn CSS correctly in many ways; unfortunately they'll be writing crummy CSS for as long as someone allows them to.

But for those willing and able to go back to first principles, Every Layout [1] is a great resource; so are Jen Simmon's talks on Intrinsic Design [2].

I went thru this seven years ago, leaving my startup which I'd been with for about 15. I still considered it a startup after all that time. The opportunity had long since been missed and all that remained was a long slow grind down to nothing. Which is exactly what has happened as it continued after my departure.

For me it was as close as I could imagine giving up a child would be like, but in hindsight it was the best choice and I grew hugely as a result.

Exactly. So either the 'butts in seats' are to please the managers or they're incompetent at discovering/dealing with unproductive employees, whatever that might be the reason. So which is it?
Easy, banking and especially banking software is not an efficient market.
This has already happened in practice, as https://beehaw.org and https://lemmy.world defederated due to some (hopefully temporary) issues.

I don't wanna go into the drama / discussion here but lets just call it some nerd drama + lack of moderation tools that can solve the issue. (Beehaw.org is very confident that if Mastodon-like tools existed, they'd be able to refederate and get the things they want. The issue is being blamed right now on Lemmy's relatively new codebase that's missing some features that Mastodon users are familiar with)

https://Lemmy.world is continues to host the copies of the "old Beehaw.org" material, allowing Lemmy.world users to talk. But the "federation" has shut down, you can only talk with local users (because Beehaw.org serves as the "True copy". So upvotes / downvotes, and federated messages/comments are coordinated by the Beehaw.org server)

In practice, this means that all the Beehaw.org communities has become kinda-sorta useless on https://Lemmy.world. But, the copies of the conversations (up to the point of defederation) do exist and remain on your local (erm... more-local?) server.
One woman’s RISC is another man’s CISC. The “perform operation and branch on flags” operation described here might not be part of RISC-V, but it 100% was part of ARM 1 when ARM was at the forefront of the movement.
It's a hard problem. I think the best way to deal with abandoned houses would be for the municipality to forcibly auction them (once they are left empty for some time) and keep the funds acquired by the sale (minus the costs) invested into bonds or something and ready to reimburse owner if he shows up.
Let's take as an example a website which compares prices in different stores and shows which has the cheapest price. You can do it manually, but using automation it is faster and more convenient. Is doesn't make sense to read websites manually when you can use a script or a language model.

Obviously for consumer it is better to be able to scrape sites. It is only those store owners (greedy capitalists) who do not want consumer to know that their prices are inflated.

Another thing is looking for some information, it is better just to have a language model go around the web and summarize the data for you rather than read someone's site with white letters on black background and weird font.
Exactly, I'd love to see some proper proof other than "the parent company owns a residential proxy service"
> Israel isn't even a major arms exporter

Israeli MICs primarily make money off IP licensing, not exports.

Companies like Rafael, IAI, Elbit, Elta, etc will generate the core IP and then sell the IP and co-manufacture with MICs in countries like South Korea, Taiwan, France, USA, Italy, and India.

This is the same business model that France used with Israel in the 70s, and also acts as a way for Israel to not piss off Western allies and generate revenue because a first world country with 9 million citizens can only manufacture so much.
That doesn't sound very humane. When you employ someone FTE (vs contract), you employ the whole person, not a machine in a factory. People have good days, people have bad days. Some tasks get unexpectedly complex. Sometimes you need to switch to other tasks. Paying someone for the time lets you average things out, provides psychological security, and lets you share risks.
I didn't even read the medium article, only the first one. That's what I quoted from. I agree, investigating traffic would be an excellent idea, but I don't intend on putting my credit card into nord's sketchy site (they apparently don't accept paypal)
Oh, I have nothing agains paying for the app. I just find it funny that they let me install and configure everything then wont play anything. At first I thought its just needing that for 4k/HDR/HVEC stuff, but it also did not play SD h264 content. And at that point I just do not understand why it comes as a "free app" in the first place.
Either let me install & test it for free and demand the pro update later (thats fine for me, if I know it works, I'll pay) or demand pay from the get go.

Now, I am aware that it might just be the selection of codec and resolutions I happened to try are all paid-only. But the way it went, I indeed felt "cheated".

Yes, Infuse may be a very good _paid_ app, but I do not like it the way it tells you that is a _paid_ app.
Exactly - full-time is about paying someone for availability more than hours of focused labor. It just so happens that being available remotely looks way different (and is generally more leisurely) than in-office availability.

Having slack is key to being an effective business. And slack is literally people not being at max utilization 40 hours a week.

The ArbStättV (basically German "rules for places where people work") says in Anhang 3.3 (2):

> (2) Kann die Arbeit ganz oder teilweise sitzend verrichtet werden oder lässt es der Arbeitsablauf zu, sich zeitweise zu setzen, sind den Beschäftigten am Arbeitsplatz Sitzgelegenheiten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Können aus betriebstechnischen Gründen keine Sitzgelegenheiten unmittelbar am Arbeitsplatz aufgestellt werden, obwohl es der Arbeitsablauf zulässt, sich zeitweise zu setzen, müssen den Beschäftigten in der Nähe der Arbeitsplätze Sitzgelegenheiten bereitgestellt werden.

Roughly translated:

> If the work can be done fully or partially while sitting or if the workflow allows intermittent seating, the worker has to have a place to sit at their place of work. If due to work circumstances no seating can be set up directly at the place of work, even though the workflow itself allows for intermittent seating, the worker has to have a place to sit close to his place of work.

Very roughly translated, sorry.
