I had a very different idea of what this article was going to be about before I read it. Since the article is kind of an irrelevant rant, let me share what I thought the title was encapsulating:

Corp policies asking users to change their passwords every 60 days or whatever, combined with the ever-more-arcane password content requirements -- yes, why the HELL are you asking me to change my password? I'll just go to one of the online passgens, generate a string, and immediately save it in a text file in my local home directory, because there's no way I will remember it.

Might as well generate passwords for your users already. Don't email me asking to come up with my own, send me a link to a form where I can copy the new password from.
> As someone with direct experience with someone that has a mental illness, there needs to be something better than the present system.

This is the truth. But the answer is not to go back to the system that the current one replaced (every US state has horror stories, in my state's case it was so bad someone opened a haunted house in the former state mental hospital), which was by all means, a lot worse. Right now the current system is so poorly funded that it has huge quality problems, care is largely inaccessible to people who need it, and workers burnout on high hours/low pay.

> I also think it would pay for itself, as lots of mentally ill people don't get proper treatment, yet are still a huge burden on the health care system.

Not to mention our social welfare system, judicial system and so on.

... but then you have two competing organizations: OLD versus NEW. This is how it plays out: NEW starts as your shiny, agile, start-up-ish org with all the young people with the latest ideas. A company nearby got rid of all their freelancers? Great, let´s hire all of them. Think big. Great meetings and people seem to really make progress happen. We´re getting rid of all the REST APIs and introduce Apache Kafka as a message bus for the company. Only then progress stalls and OLD slowly begins to crawl back in. Legal department audits the agile process and unfortunately German laws are quite tough on bogus self-employment. All the freelancers have to go and NEW loses all their expertise. Other employees follow as this whole thing does not pay that great and looks more and more like any other 9/5 job.
Fast forward, 5 years later: the startup spirit is long gone. Corporate culture at NEW mirrors OLD. And not only culture wise. The NEW, "-tech" company is not seen as an independent company any more but supposed to be merged with the parent company. Because why have two of the same, right? Meanwhile OLD made some progress and introduced some reform projects. So developers do not have to fill out a printed paper application to get new servers any more. Only now you have two Kafka clusters with completely different setups as OLD also started their one one at some point.

My learning here: new is not new if the culture stays the same. Also: never underestimate the power of old. People always talk about the new, shiny stuff. But old was there first. And is much more resilient than it seems.
Any reason why it needs iOS 16.4?
My former employer (in London) has just instructed everyone, finally after COVID, to be in the office for 50% of the time. Many of my former colleagues starting looking for other jobs last week.

It seems employers have two concerns: cost and presenteeism.

The first is easily solved, downsize your office. The second, is an organisational problem.

Why commute for 90 minutes each way to sit in a office with headphones on trying to avoid other distracting people to get some work done and then spend hours in Zoom meetings with those that don't come in on the same day?
Of course, there is a market for it. Even if you don't have to have it, charging times and rage are the main arguments gas car owners bring up in discussions as a reason for why they don't buy an electric car.
I consider myself a fairly good tipper — a trait I picked up from my grandfather. However I feel this is tipping culture is nonsense. The calculated amounts at bottom are on the receipt total, including tax —- why am I tipping 20% on that? Then there’s the misc fees. A random X% Covid, inflation, health insurance cost.

It’s not that I don’t mind paying. I look at the total bill and shocked by the the difference from what it was to what was advertised. That puts a real damper on an otherwise good time.

Consequently I vote with my wallet and stopped going out almost altogether. I much prefer cultures where the price advertised is what you pay. I hope the silver lining to excessive tipping results from backlash and the movement to a non-tip society. My wife is from a non-tip society (Japan) and always asks me why some counties can do it and others don’t. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Thanks so much for those super kind words!

I don't know if it's wise to place such a challenge in front of all of us.
Property "values" are extremely inflated in the countryside as well, that's why people move to the cities to work in the first place, because they can get better paid there. The average person born in a rural area has a really hard time affording a place to live there, unless they get help from the landed gentry (usually their parents) - no matter how hard he or she works.

Meanwhile, somebody born into rural property will never have to work in their entire life, unless they prefer to. They can rent out productive land, or sell it in small pieces to people who work. And this they can do for generations.
> And yet the world has not stopped. In fact everything seems to be going faster than ever.

Indeed.

I know many people who used to religiously go to the office 5-days a week. The only time they were not in the office was when they were on holiday or they were sick. It's what they did for their entire working lives. And in some cases it's what "custom and practice" historically dictated in their industry, e.g. those working in the financial sector.

The pandemic forced their hand. And now my unscientific sample would suggest 80-90% of them now only go to the office for client meetings. Most weeks they don't go at all, or maybe they pop-in for a couple of hours on their way somewhere else. There is the occasional week where they do a full-day in the office for one or two days. But nobody I know is anywhere near the old 5-days a week regime.

Employers attempting to force (or, if we're being polite "strongly encourage") people to return 5-days a week are playing a loosing game.

The future is now and the future is hybrid or fully-remote for 99% of jobs. There are very few jobs out there that genuinely need you to be in a different building 5-days a week to do your job.

The very next para points to the problems associated with forming such a correlation;

To be honest, I find these correlation a bit unsettling. Clearly, there is more to intelligence than brain size, or classic geniuses like Albert Einstein, who had an average-sized brain, would have been out of luck! It is important think about how we should actually define intelligence, and to keep in mind that the studies cited above only show a correlation between brain size and a person’s score on an intelligence quotient test. Although IQ is historically the most widely used intelligence measure, by no means does it account for all aspects of human intelligence, nor is it an entirely consistent readout of cognitive ability between individuals. Furthermore, a closer look at the results of the gene-association study reveal that most of the relationship the authors found between HMGA2 gene variations and cranial size could be accounted for by the fact that the gene is also correlated with human height. Correlational studies have only established a weak to moderate linear relationship between brain size an intelligence, which is enough fuel to ensure that the brain size and intelligence hypothesis doesn’t burn out, but does little to explain the true basis of human cognitive capacity.

That is not a problem. As long as you spend that money.

Our problem right now is that the money is not spent. The earlier you retire to spend it the better we are as an economy. So yes. Go for it. That is the point :)

This is a really good idea, if time is not important. If you want someone experienced, in the US or Western Europe who does freelancing full time to prioritize your project, you should budget $100-$200/hr on the junior end, up to $300+/hr for someone more senior with specialized skills. Less than that and you're going to be dealing with someone who's either learning on the job, or trying to fit you in every now and then around their full time job. Either of those scenarios might be totally fine for your startup, you just have to understand what you're getting yourself into.

> wait staff

I don't think OP is advocating for not tipping at places where you're getting table service. Agree or not that's the standard arrangement and it's a total dick move to refuse to tip in that situation.

What everyone's complaining about is situations where you order at a counter and are offered an option to tip on the payment system. These usually default to having a tip selected, which means you have to change it to "0%" to avoid tipping for counter service.

Seriously though, please don't come to the US and stiff waiters at sit down restaurants of their tip. It's a bad system but that's the system and it's wildly unfair to the table waiter when someone decides they're not tipping due to some sense of principled resistance to the practice.
A local place near where I live have a 15% employee wellness fee added to the cost of the purchase. This money goes to the employee and is, in essence, a tip. There was no sign stating this fact. I found out after looking at the receipt. I’ll never go back to that place.
I was assuming they had a reason for not doing the simple thing and offered something similar
Do you have the option of just not hiring anyone if no candidates come through that the team feels good about?

I had one particular role where our team had the same issue and eventually really ticked off higher management when we kept open vacancies on the team for too long. They effectively said fill the spot soon or they'd move the headcount elsewhere, making for a really dumb choice between filling a seat or committing to be under resourced indefinitely.
That is illegal. You should report the business to the IRS.

> “Revenue Ruling 2012-18 reaffirms the factors which are used to determine whether payments constitute tips or service charges. Q&A 1 of Revenue Ruling 2012-18 provides that the absence of any of the following factors creates a doubt as to whether a payment is a tip and indicates that the payment may be a service charge:

> - The payment must be made free from compulsion

> - The customer must have the unrestricted right to determine the amount

> - The payment should not be the subject of negotiation or dictated by employer policy; and

> - Generally, the customer has the right to determine who receives the payment.

Of course that excludes all the things they eat on bread.
They did everywhere which is why the last 3 years have included massive ongoing cascading supply chain shortages across the world. It's very efficient as long as nothing ever changes too much too quickly which tends to be the case in manufacturing outside a pandemic but is much more rare in software.
Note that the goal is not for the government to get it.

The goal is for you to spend it. Because hoarding it like this to pass it to your children actually make it harder for them to have a good life and for the economy to grow.
And therein lies the push from big companies to force back-to-office working.

I know from my previous company who are huge in the US who were very candid and honest about it saying they had signed several years worth of leasing and couldn't pull out of those contracts and basically the middle management didn't want to appear to have these expensive contracts on them when nobody was using the offices and the infrastructure that was also involved.

When something isn't needed, it tends to atrophy. It took us a long time to realize that offices are not needed when working only with information but it is undeniably the case.

You can argue that it is somehow better when everyone is typing on keyboards and exchanging air pressure fluctuations in close physical proximity but you cannot argue it is necessary. Furthermore you cannot make any conclusive claims regarding the relative effectiveness of WFH vs WFO. You can, on the other hand, conclusively make claims that commuting is time/energy consuming while largely being an externality for most companies (as they do not have to pay for roads, cars, time, ambulances, carbon emissions, etc.). You can also make conclusive claims regarding lease costs, building maintenance, etc. Offices are plainly irrational from a first principles perspective.
Oh that's a good way to put it! I do this as well, especially on commutes or on walks, but sometimes on the couch as well; I have an idea and think about it actively, but to continue my thought process, I have to look at some code, so I open it on the phone.

It always felt weird to get my laptop and look on the "big" screen in those situations, and maybe it's because I just want to think, not to code.
Well... I recognise that these companies have made a lot of money, but how? I remember the day of BeOS, it was technically 15 years ahead and Microsoft killed it (just as an example), the same company that years later tried to kill Linux and killed Nokia. Google with their motto "Don't be evil" ... sure, just collect personal data in every possible way and sell it against your will. Yes, they have also done many positive things like Golang or Android for example, but when they see that they are losing the grip (and monopoly) on the project, they switch to something else (Flutter ... Fuchsia).
The real revolution (apart from the Internet) of the last decades has been open source, without it we wouldn't have *BSD, Mariadb, PostgresQL, Linux, Android, dozens of languages, databases, knowledge sharing. and with it freedom : freedom to choose, freedom to learn, to collaborate with other people around the globe for the benifits if not all, at least many. In my opinion, the open source philosophy has done more for human evolution than all the big companies put together (and their money stacked in foreing countries to not pay taxes).

Again - great job with with the OP's browser. Android is just so much customizable to begin with, IMHO.
Yeeeep exactly. We have pretty good data on this nowadays. I have seen some research from the french INSEE, equivalent probably exist from the OECD if you search. The data is a pita to collect and compare but it supports this scenario.

Yes, but usually the plane won't take off at all without getting lighter, the issue is in taking off, not in getting altitude once air borne.

Typically in case of particularly high temperatures or other adverse conditions, the plane is loaded with the minimum fuel needed to reach a near airport with better conditions, so that there is an added landing and take off, and since there are added costs for this, companies try to avoid it by disembarking luggage and even passengers.

The most recent case that made the news has been about disembarking some 20 people and their luggage by EasyJet:

What's the 'conspiracy'? It's out in the open.

>New Jersey and Texas are states that stand out for spelling out exactly how often employees must work from the office to qualify for tax breaks. Before the pandemic, several New Jersey tax programs required workers to show up at least 80% of the time, and one Texas program set the threshold at 50%.

>Miami, which has seen an influx of new businesses throughout the pandemic, created a program in 2021 that requires companies to sign a minimum five-year lease for office space. The city of Sugar Land, Texas, outside of Houston, launched a new incentive in November that requires businesses to renew their existing leases for five to 10 years and invest a minimum of $1 million in office improvements.

I bought a license when I first got serious about music with the launch of 5 in 2015, and I'm still getting updates. I've moved on to Ableton Live for making music, but there's no match for Reaper when it comes to editing or finalizing audio. SWS and Reapak provide a tool for just about any operation.

For example: I use Ozone to do a quick and dirty master on songs. The tool suggests running it on the loudest part of the audio. SWS provides an action that moves the playhead to the loudest part of a clip so there's no guesswork.

>the customer shouldn't be brought into it

This is a dodge of the actual issue at hand. If a person is choosing to patronize a restaurant and get the benefits of someone's labor, refusing to tip is wrong. The direct result is that the person waiting the table is unfairly denied a portion of expected compensation.

If you want to "be the change you wish to see in the world," patronize restaurants that have no-tipping policies. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
If AI can replace abundant jobs in customer service, this will mean that the entry level becomes harder and harder for people to access. Because the work that's left for humans will become more skilled and complex - the stuff the machines can't deal with.
