You can do the same thing in a remote environment. Schedule a meeting in the morning of the next day as people are logging onto work. Or schedule stuff for after lunch before people get back into focus mode. All of this stuff can be done with proper scheduling rather than just grabbing people as they go and assuming that it's not interrupting their work.

"…In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast Map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography"

The map is not the territory.

There is a clear benefit: you get to hear what they're saying, while without signing the NDA you won't.

On the other hand, there's very little downside to signing an NDA. Sure, it'll prevent you from revealing the information. But without signing the NDA, you don't get access to the information in the first place, and just as unable to reveal the information.
Yikes - you can't post like this to HN and we ban accounts that do. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on, we'd be grateful.

I don't want to ban you because you've also posted good things, so please use HN in the intended spirit going forward. That means thoughtful, respectful, and above all curious conversation.

Are most advice in self-help books not good productivity/happiness advice?

The problem with both is that people who can follow them for effect already are following them. So in practice, diet and exercise is what I call "fuck off advice": the person you give it to, should they believe it, will try and try and not see much effect, and eventually fail - but the process will take 3-6 months or more, during which they won't bother you with their problems, and at the end of it, they'll blame themselves for not being good enough, and perhaps even see you as a good person who tried to help.
This is great! Thanks so much:-) Added to my feeds.
I’d expect it based on the absurdity of the difference - it’s a master programmer and now it can’t do anything! - combined with self-knowledge that 0 attempts were made to make an objective comparison.

If my Tesla went 80 mph and started going 15, we wouldn’t attribute that to the-nature-of-Teslas, or a software update: there are vast incentives for anyone who knew that was done to share that publicly.

Instead, we know something is wrong with the individual car and we take it to the dealer.

Here, the missing part is objectivity via a speedometer: I have one, I know outputs are consistent on 0315 models at 0 temperature.

Maybe I am biased by my background in finance tech but I saw a ton of guys get rewarded for what (at the time) seemed like boring maintenance of systems.

In retrospect - it was recognized that they built or took good care of money making systems with little drama and that was well appreciated by the companies.

In FAANGs I see now more of "what will get me promoted" versus "what is gonna make the company money" ethos.
And having more redundancy presumably means you can build each one cheaper and don't have to inspect them as much.

Smallish helicopters aren't that expensive. Maintenance and fuel are though. Going electric already helps with the fuel, going for many motors helps with the maintenance.
There’s nothing surprising here.

This is a typical cycle for a venture backed technology business. There’s just nothing else to say here other than this is 100% expected outcome if you decide to build a product on venture capital money, which requires an exit and an increasingly large exit to the point where you IPO.

Unless you avoid this structural pathway, you will be 100% guaranteed to do this.

I am unaware of a venture capital funded technology company that has maintained the core of what they do, and the value proposition, but didn’t push most of their money into paying for sales marketing executive compensation and eventually finally, stock buybacks, or other things that directly enrich investors at the cost of employees.

Having had a couple points with Jeff Lawson I believe he’s a good person who wants to do the right thing for the most amount of people and do it ethically, which is why he jumped into this thread. However, he faces the same pressures as everybody else, and so it’s honorable that he is attempting to find ways to mitigate the downside harms of this new direction but at the end of the day the arrow of history is clear.
It seems like the rumor is self-referential. Is there anything more substantial here?
Not sure I buy it, never really heard any of the rest of the stuff they say in the article except maybe from old people who are second language English speakers. Careful your head though I heard quite a bit.

I irritate women, it may or may not be under my control, for example if it’s due to my race then it’s not, if it’s due to societal clichés then it’s not; and for what is under my control, I have seen for about $10k of psychologists and I was never told the defect I have, probably because that would discourage me, instead they say there’s always a chance, never try never know, ask them out and blah blah blah.

I’d love if someone told me my truth, but until then, I can’t do much.

Granted I didn’t try a dating coach, I don’t know where to find them, their answers will always be “pay me $100 and believe in yourself”, and yes I’m very afraid that if I find out a dating coach helps, I’ll have lost my life for nothing, but it’s impossible to talk about it because no-one ever accepts to envision that, yes, when you reach 40 without capability to date regularly, well you’re fucked, I’d commit terrible things to make people admit that I’ve lost my life if I could,

Why can’t people accept that, yes, it’s hard, I see uglier people than me succeed, I see total losers succeed, so yes, the only artifact I see is:

I - irritate - women, they become between sarcastic and mean to me after knowing me for a few weeks.

Could even be that I don’t ask early enough, that I don’t sexualize them enough, I’m always too careful about not stalking them and ensuring they don’t feel like a bag of meat, so maybe they’re just frustrated that I don’t kiss them on the second date. I don’t know, hypothesis! but that would at least be a fair explanation that I could work on.

Instead, the only feedback I have is, that I’m selfish or whatever trait that you could judge anyone with - Let them first, I also donate to charities way more than friends, I’ve also belonged to more charities than much more of the population, I’ve also accompanied by best enemy through cancer, til he died with us playing the song he himself composed, this asshole got the most beautiful death he could imagine, I mean the accusation of selfishness or closed-mindedness doesn’t hold any cold-headed analysis.
So are taxes and trees, but you have to pay them and hold insurance anyway. The point is that society as a whole has interest in the community in which that home exists, and it regulates the behavior of homeowners for the benefit of everyone.

"Your home has to have people in it" is, 100%, a valid policy goal. And in extremis, paradigms like adverse possession exist to ensure this.
If you follow that logic, then the Dacia Sandero is the only car you can buy. Every other car just comes with pointless overpriced extras that nobody needs.

Do me a favour and list the policy promises of each side (be it implicit or explicit ones) and then we check what political ideology they stem from.

Example: Banning books or drag shows, for others because you don't like them is not what I would call "liberal". But hey, in certain political circles words have lost all connection to their meaning, so knock yourself out.

As a European I don't like the Democrats either, but pretending both sides are the same is a spwcial kind of mental gymnastics.

I think it always a mistake to start a goroutine without passing a context to it, since you are no longer able to cancel the goroutine unless you build your own mechanism to do so. Given that, I think you can handwave it a bit and regard context variables as goroutine local.

That depends on the person. If your coworker is someone who requires pre-planed meetings for any type of interruption, you'd know. Oh boy would you know very quickly. I usually only feel bad for the cleaning or mail staff, but you and I would immediately know those people.

Otherwise, most other people are either available, or will tell you when they are not and you can easily say back "no worries, ping all of us when you're done" and everything moves 100% more efficiently.

If code reviews are absolute blockers on your team then your team is dysfunctional. There are a few rare scenarios where code reviews are higher priority (high chance of merge conflicts, hotfixes) but code reviews themselves should be asynchronous. But that situation should be rare and clearly signalled as higher priority.
I see a lot of people say this. Maybe I've just been lucky but all of my security audits have been sensible and easy.

The only exception was at one company, an auditor flagged that weren't in compliance with "antivirus software is installed on all storage servers," and as they defined it, that would have included our Docker image repositories and S3 buckets. They gave us some suggestions on how we could do this, for example a Lambda-based solution that would scan all files uploaded to S3. We just said "no" and they dropped it.

Joe Lieberman refused. I don't really get this conspiracy narrative. No, Biden isn't a king, he can't pass laws without 50 senators. He didn't have that because he can't remove senators who vote against his policy like they do in the UK. Dems are not a monolith, leadership supporting a bill doesn't mean the politicians will vote for it.
>> You could *also* notice their output go down quite drastically.

neither waking up at 10am nor taking a meeting from outside imply that they are not being productive. We should measure output by output, not by how it's done. By linking the two I feel like you have a bias against people waking up late or taking a meeting from a non conventional location. Those things are not inherently bad unless they are also linked to low output.

The usual RISC-V FUD points. It gets boring.

>It has a soup of wacky opcodes to optimize corner cases

OK, go ahead and name one (1) such opcode. I'll wait.

>obscure vendor specific extensions that are absolutely CISC-y (examine T-Head's additions if you don't believe me!).

Yes, these extensions are harmful, and that's why they're obscure and vendor-specific.

RISC-V considers pros and cons, evaluates across use cases, and weights everything when considering whether to accept something into the standard specs.

Simplicity itself is valuable; that is at the core of RISC. So the default is to reject. A strong argument needs to be made to justify adding anything.
That does happen when property taxes are delinquent - typically the county seizes the property and sells it to pay back taxes.
It's not a matter of opinion, the recording did not include a threat or blackmail. Asking to be bought, even if done so coyly, is neither extortion nor blackmail.

Blackmail is a threat of revealing damaging information. That didn't happen.

Extortion is a threat of consequences. However it's clear that Selig can't enact consequences on Reddit. It's Reddit who can disable Apollo's API key. Selig can't render any kind of damage onto Reddit. This is further supported by the fact that Selig has no choice but to discontinue the app and will take a loss on the refunding of subscriptions.

Additionally the provided context of the conversation matches the discussions that Reddit has been having with other developers: i.e. API access and the future costs of that.

If one wishes to set a low bar for extortion: Then it would be Reddit attempting to extort 3rd party app developers by levying unrealistic API access costs, effectively ending their businesses. A concept that could actually hold water as Reddit develops a competitor app.

> The problem is that the laws aren’t enforced

I would argue that legal punishments only work well when they are consistent and swift. The US legal system has failed on both accounts. Violent crime closure rates are abysmal, and the end of that funnel is just that someone was charged, not the right person being convicted.

In practice, the IS legal system depends on leaning hard on anyone who might be a criminal (especially with bail bonds, the slow time to trial, the failure of public defenders to handle their caseload competently, and the overwhelming dependency on plea bargaining — which was unethical in this country until after the Civil War).

Also, saying “the laws aren’t being enforced” seems naïve to who isn’t enforcing the laws and why.

This is due to the market for electric vehicles growing much faster than Tesla is. The note reports 78% market share in 2018 and 62% in 2022.

Numbers for illustration only:

In 2018 there were 100 people who wanted EVs and 78 of them bought Teslas.

In 2022 there were 1,000 people who wanted EVs and 620 of them bought Teslas.

In 2026 it is predicted there will be 10,000 people who want EVs and 1,800 of them will buy Teslas.
