but its not on the clock. So if I have an accident on my commute I am insured via work, but regardless the time spent on the commute will not be coming from my 40h/week time account but cut into my free time.
I have worked with 4 different modes:

- HQ in China (Singapore office where I work, as a subsidiary), the contractors sign contract with a contracting firm and the contracting firm sign the contract with HQ (This is called 人力外包 "manpower outsourcing")

- HQ in China, HQ set up subsidiary in China for managing contractors, the contractors sign contract with subsidiary directly and are de facto employees of HQ except there is no official contract between them (This is called 内部/子公司外包 "internal/subsidiary outsourcing")

- HQ in Singapore, set up subsidiary in China (need to have someone with Chinese citizenship to make it smooth), contractors sign contract with Chinese subsidiary.

- Freelance arrangement where the contractor sign a freelance arrangement with company directly. The jurisdiction and validity of the contract may be quite blur so it relies on good working relationship and trust.

In my opinion, there is a large pool of talented developers based in China and the main obstacles for them to get a remote job are international bank account, language barrier and the great firewall.

If you can overcome the 3 issues then you have access to some really good developers across all levels.
Yes, and it is getting a little annoying at this point to be frank.
Yeah, that's really
I didn't say anything about using it 'as a paper map'. But using it as a map is the point of a map.
No charges have been filed by any of the supposed victims and the investigations started by state attorneys were quickly dropped, after which the conversation moved on to feminist talking points of power dynamics and the partiarchy. The point is that the media again hyped up a single person's account turned shitstorm posted online.

That only happens once. Maybe twice. Most people learn.
>The desired end state of the world is one where is a well developed and mass-usable "third option" besides the duopoly. There should be a well identifiable app store where vital apps that one cannot not use (public sector, banking, medical etc) can be available, ideally as open source.

It's much easier to regulate the heavily entrenched duopoly at this point, like how EU is trying to do, than somehow get a third player on the market, and convince people and devs to jump on board off Android and iOS. That's just not gonna happen.

Even Microsoft was forced to throw in the towel and exit the mobile market and Windows Lumia phones were actually great, so there just is no space on the market for a third player that comes in so late in the game, to gain any sizable market share, that would convince users and devs to switch and allow for a sustainable business.
I wish people would do a little bit of yak shaving when they run into errors (usually some form of merge conflict when pulling) to learn how to fix them, roll back, etc. They would learn how to appreciate the power and flexibility of git then.

I've helped people in my own open source project when they hit git roadblocks. They've never needed to save out their work and wipe their repo. There was always a solution within git and once they learned it, they really understood how version control worked much better.
Ridiculous considering they want people to use their app.

Goes to show the app is not useful enough then.

BTW there is nothing dumber than hybrid work. Either have everyone go to the office or have everyone work from home.

There is nothing stupider on this planet than having 3 folks sit in an office, 1 in another office, 4 at home... The office microphones only half-ass pick up voices so you can never really understand some people.
It's very hard to read that on mobile. What changed?
Remote work has been implemented successfully even before the pandemic at even large companies like IBM. Sure there was a strange eb and flow cycles of flexibility vs coming back to the office every few years but a large company like that already works “remotely” due to the vast number of people working there and all employees end up having to work with people outside their office every day if not very often.

It’s pretty clear that any directive to force people back into the office at that point is either a petty power move or a way to force voluntary attrition before having to do layoffs.

You lost me entirely on the second paragraph. Some kind of militia attitude or trusting private armies probably means you are getting well beyond normal civilian behavior. You buy locks, you compare lock manufacturers, if you aren't the easiest of targets or the most valuable you represent a waste of time.

I am not religious you moron. Stop making random assumptions. How many times does this need to be explained to you? Why are you fucking stupid American leftists incapable of understanding that people can disagree with you for GOOD reasons. You aren't automatically right about everything just because you're on the left and you were born in the USA. You're an absolute fucking dolt.

Back in the day, when not everyone felt the need yet to be on the world wide web, I knew at least a couple of mechanics and builders who would explain they'd heard of this Sheldon Brown guy and ... could I please print out some stuff from him like gear ratio tables or spoke length calculations or lacing patterns? :-) Simpler times. RIP Sheldon.
I think we should be careful to throw provocative words like hoax around.

There is no official statement from Korean Society of Superconductivity and Cryogenics saying it is a hoax only that they are still waiting for a sample from the original scientists.

At this point we don't know (a) whether LK-99 is a RT superconductor and if it isn't (b) whether it was simply an error in their research or a conspiracy amongst the scientists to commit fraud. Until we definitively know both I don't see why people should be slandered.
In the UK, there is a similar mechanism, but also with a perverse twist.

Housing is very expensive, and buying your first house is often a titanic effort. It requires years of saving, often ain informal loan from family and then a substantial mortgage.

So once you buy this thing, your biggest fear is that it will depreciate. Never mind making money out of it.

This creates a lot of very strong local NIMBYism, and in the UK it's not that hard for the local population to stop housing projects.

When phrased like this, I do sympathise, even if it's "selfish". A mere announcement of new housing projects in the vicinity can cut your house value by 10%, or easily more.

So we created a world where house owning club is super expensive to join, and once you're in, it is your existential imperative to keep house prices high.

All this before you even say "appreciation". I posit that most people in the UK would be quite happy with affordable housing whose price is linked to inflation or sth.

As I already explained, the topic of this thread is not bigotry, but something that you, unilaterally, have labelled 'bigotry'. Those are different things.

Wow you seem such a nice and tolerant person. (inb4 you bring up the 'paradox of tolerance' in a way that demonstrates you didn't understand it at all)

> apple went further than many with on-handset scanning

Genuine question: what “on-handset scanning” does Apple do?
This is not true. At least in the US you are required to notify customers when you change the terms of service, and as far as I know in the EU as well.
Well… that was supposedly considered at some point:

Not to mention other super-important features like background blurring. It has very recently become available with in-browser solutions, but still not exactly on par, and with less options (e.g. no green screen support). That alone justifies using Zoom.
Service _is_ a pricing issue: pricing is about the valuation of a service.

If the price doesn't outweigh the benefits of the service, people will not use the service.
I doubt it, the author's other articles suggest they want a revolution to get rid of capitalism.

It's ironic that they criticize the current approach for not working, and then suggest a nebulous 'transformation' that has even less chance of working. Even if they created a communist revolution in the US, they would then need to extend this to the rest of the world which would likely involve wars that increase emissions.

It seems like a system that can't be easily changed mid flight and it's leased from the manufacturer as an alternative to buying the 'upgrade'.
Yeah, this mindset reeks of the same kind of mentality that tech-bro SV startups... "I'm the main character, with this technology (I found an open source GitHub repo with 50k stars) I will save the world!" but with an open-source Stallman-esque twist.

Open source software is a great thing for humanity, but as software engineers, we should keep the big picture in mind. Software is software. The sky has been blue and the grass has been green since long before software existed, and the sky will be blue and the grass will be green long after software ceases to exist.

> A native of Maricopa County, Arizona, he leaves behind a wife and six children, as well as a string of newspapers and a legacy of fighting for free speech.

And people wonder why Assange is fighting so hard to beat extradition: this is a US citizen with assets, likely access to high priced lawyers and a family grounding to seem him through this and he still took his life rather than go through the steamroller that is the US Legal system.

That is says it all, really:

> "I had just come back from school in Mexico City and had been exposed to the Mexican student movement in the late 60's and early 70's and they were really serious radicals, serious revolutionaries, and a lot of them were killed in the ensuing years, murdered by the Mexican government. I realized that politics were serious," Larkin told Reason in 2018. "I felt that the paper…really had an opportunity to be politically powerful."

"Law enforcement, politicians, bureaucrats, regulatory types. They don't really understand the First Amendment," he [Larkin] added.

It's sad, freedom fighting has always had a huge risk, but running a website that the US deems not suited to exist can get you multiple life sentences, Ross Ulbricht was a prime example of this. While actual Drug lords, murders and rapists can get out etc...

I remember when I first launched my startup in fintech and it coincided with Backpage's payment issues: my first customers were actually the ladies of backpage inquiring what this whole Bitcoin thing was and how it worked because they needed it to list their ads when they pulled Visa/MC paymnets (just like at they had wikilaeks). We learned quickly how to deploy payment rails at scale almost overnight because of this.

I've seen a lot in my Life in various Industries, but this was incredibly sobering, it was not at all what I was expecting: it was mainly a string of young single mothers who had the system fail them and wanting to make rent or pay for baby supplies or food.

Most here will always cling on to their illusions that they are high risk taking disrupters because they are some foot-soldier at a FAANG or some startup with Series B, but when you put these kind of stakes in front of them them most if not all will run away and not even contemplate this as a worthy pursuit and happily live with their cognitive dissonance.

It's actually a very common theme, and why I think SV culture has decayed from it's roots in the 90s to whatever grifting-perversion it is now. Larkin would fit right along with Zimmerman or the early cypherpunks given what took place back then.

RIP, Larkin.
Because then it would be much harder to bait investors. By forking, they can more confidently say things like, "We built Hydra to solve real problems affecting real people who will part with oodles of money to access our totally unique solution."

The discussions among team members was that once the U.S. had reliable predictions of crop yields then the State Dept could respond in the grain markets. Thee were grain reserves that were available that could be used to flood the global markets resulting in lower grain prices and lower revenues for Russia. The undersanding was that "Grain is Gold", and it appears now that that is still true.
There is no data.

And even if there was they would never include ALL data, e.g. you have to weigh paying rent in Hong Kong, New York, Sydney, San Francisco, London etc etc expensive places for an office building that a remote-only work place doesn't need.

Being 5% more productive in office might not make up for billions of dollars in rent and overhead.

Because Apple allows it. It's their prerogative, after all, not Amazon's.

I mean, really, if your employer told you that the only way they can pay you is if you used their in-house payment system that took 75% of your pre-tax earnings as a commission, you'd go elsewhere too.
The blog is indeed the worst example you could run for this case. As you pointed out, modern C# would be same length (which is his "wow" effect on the functional core) but also has the F# not really a higher readability than the shown C# code.

No links, no proof, too emotional, and somewhat childish — I'm too old for this stuff.

Agree, systemd is not the last word in init systems.

There are use-cases where linux/whatever is used to run a single system across a cluster of hosts. For this, you need a scheduler to dispatch across a set of machines.

There is room to debate whether init should happen at the system level (driven by OS tooling), or at the application level (not driven by OS tooling).

Systemd is bound by single-host assumptions. Hence, systemd is either inadequate (OS tooling) or else too complicated (application driven).

If you wanted to do something in the spirit of systemd (OS tooling), but which was suitable for clusters, the scheduling function would live as a consensus across a grid of hosts. Hosts would have a simple init that joined that consensus at boot and which acted as an agent for the init consensus.

This would scale down to all the use-cases systemd currently covers - you could have a consensus of one.
There absolutely is a black market for selling airplane parts to sanctioned countries. As an example, Cuban state airline Cubana has been flying ATR turboprops with American made engines (and many other parts) since 2002 or so. Even with wide sanctions, Iran has maintained an operational fleet of old Boeings, and during past decade even newer aircraft.

I suppose that "stigmata" makes for a sensational headline, but it is important to note that true stigmata are mysterious and miraculous. Many a charlatan has been caught, trying to cut into himself/herself, or cause his own wounds in the "correct" places. The only authentic instances of religious stigmata are those which are wholly unexplained by medical/physical science, and thoroughly tested by contemporary professionals.

The subjects of true stigmata also suffer greatly from those wounds, because they are real and physical, and you don't enjoy the benefits of anaesthesia, cauterization, or sutures.

I’ve seen this, quite common for federal contracting. Although it’s also common to hammer-click 8 at the end of the month..

That said even if you’re not clocking in it’s common to want to work a full 8 hours or close to it.
To be fair, you'd still need a private constructor in Discount, otherwise the sumtype is not closed, like it is in the F# case. And the percentage Value should be `float` :)
> They have to learn to say no and prioritize work-life balance over getting their dream job.

Or… they could unionize and try to shape the job of their dreams into something sensible. If the union somehow ends up ruining the job, why would they care, given that the alternative is not doing that job at all, or dealing with unbearable working conditions?
There are 2 things in favor of the Korean team

- Hyun-Tak Kim is unlikely to ruin his career and legacy for something careless and frivolous. But stranger things have happened, so lets assign a 10% probability to give some benefit of doubt to the team.

- The various DFT papers show interesting flat band structures. But DFT is an approximation and also they do not take into account electron electron correlations. So lets assign another 10% probability for this support.

This crude estimate would give a 20% chance of RTSC. Rest has to be resolved by actual demonstrations, primarily from the Korean team themselves, and then from reputed Western researchers/labs.

> Zoom is a really great product, they’ve really worked hard on the basic ”join a meeting” user experience. At least a few years back they provided every meeting with a custom installer(!) that deployed Zoom, then automatically whisked you into the right meeting.

This is a horrible user experience -- and impossible to do in most enterprise IT environments today. Take a look at other platforms: get a link, click the link, join meeting in already installed browser. Done.

Zoom on the other hand annoys you with user hostile shit to get you to install their client. I wonder why! Their only saving grace is that they are an equal opportunity annoyer, even Linux users are not safe. /s
