At the end of the day, wfh is a serious benefit for workers.

“Return” to office can’t just be seen as a return to “normal”, it’s effectively a pay/benefit cut.

If you’re going to cut my pay for non performance related reasons, you better know that you’re completely destroying your credibility with me.

The merits of the gains to productivity, whether true or not, don’t really matter. Cutting salaries across the board benefits the company similarly. You can’t spin that as a positive to the individual employee.
When I was young (maybe 8 or so?) my mom got me a book of B&W moiré patterns. It consisted of a book of B&W patterns and a clear plastic sheet also with similar patterns. When you overlaid the plastic sheet over the patterns in the book is when you got the moiré patterns.

Besides seeing yellows and other fringe colors appear from the moiré, I always wondered if the patterns were linked to ocular migraines I would have for some decades after.

> Nor do existing homeowners want to see their house prices fall.

In my area, people who own homes to live in (rather than as investments) love to see their house value fall because it reduces the amount they pay in property tax.
We're fostering a dog and it recently ran away while with one of the prospective adopters, was missing for a week. We retrieved her 7 km from where we were searching.

After that I looked in to GPS trackers for pets and it's all either subscription services (and their implications on your data/privacy) or otherwise some cheap Chinese crap.

I eventually found one of the cheap ones you could configure with traccar but to get that working took a lot of guessing and testing. The cool thing is the only command that works via the server is "change update period", so when it's at home it pings occasionally and when it's outside the geofence, traccar tells it to up the reporting rate. (Plus idle detection, so when her harness is hanging there's limited battery use)

I'm glad to see an open solution like this, would have loved to set this up if I had the dog longer term.

Our cats on the other hand, we never trained for a collar so this wouldn't work unfortunately
In what sense do you mean "culture war"?

Just asking because people usually use the term specifically for conservative vs. liberal belief clusters. So I'm not sure if you're saying WFH is tied into that culture war.
Oh wow! I'm glad you found something that worked :)

Yeah, off-label is something I hear a lot... and indeed it's super super frustrating

Ask HN: Any ways to find startups that are NOT remote?
I feel I’m in a pretty small minority but I thought I’d ask the HN community to see if there’s traction.

Are there any job sites that are for non-remote jobs? I’m a pretty senior software engineer but I’m tired of working at a big tech company and want to influence more at a startup, but I also enjoy the camaraderie and collaboration of a small team working in a room or a section of a floor solving problems on a whiteboard ad-hoc. Any way for me to find these kinds of startups? I feel like most startups are remote fully or across time zones and I’m really turned off by that experience.

It would have been more ridiculous if Apple's previous serial bus didn't have DRM.
One year ago, Ethereum completed the "merge" and successfully transitioned from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake.

At the time of the merge, the most economically productive use for graphics cards was to mine Ethereum. The merge caused a worldwide crash in graphics cards prices. GPT 3.5 launched two months later.

If Ethereum had not merged and instead stayed on proof-of-work, it would have consumed 0.2% of global electricity over the past 365 days.

The merge was completed with zero network downtime, like swapping the engine of an aircraft mid-flight.
The attacker-controlled DNS record pointing to an internal private address or an explicit redirect is a classic, especially if they can control the event template being used and the service relies entirely on edge filtering... Too much template control is a risk.

I mean, there's a lot of things you should do when dealing with this that most people don't pay attention to:

But it’s less bad because of HMAC, not because of CBC. Hand waving arguments that CBC is meaningfully better than CTR mode under IV reuse are silly. There are cases where a nonce reuse in CTR mode reveals very little (eg key wrapping) and cases where the same in CBC mode reveals everything. The worst case for both is equally bad.
... and take it private. In the end, the role of scientist itself is being put in question

Have you run git fsck? It should tell you what kind of an object is missing -- and might say who pointed there, I can't remember. Regardless, that's the next step to figuring out who points to it.

For this:

> I've cloned the repo again, and that object does not appear in the new clone, so I assume it must be from a commit to a local branch.

I hope you realize it can be within a pack, not just as a loose object. git cat-file -t 1cae71a9d5b24991c0d632b45186ca8a250e5d52 in the other clones.

> I don't think creators 'deserve' anything, but I think a hard 10 year period is about okay to the original creators or the publishers to monetize the product, then move on to an another product, or do whatever they want.

If we're going to use terms like "deserve", then why are you deserving of someone else's work? It doesn't sound like you're even arguing that you could build upon that work, you just don't want to have to pay for it. Having some third party selling other people's art work without licensing them isn't exactly the proliferation of the arts typically argued for with lowering the copyright duration.

You're also severely downplaying just how hard it is to earn money from a creation. Bootstrapping a business is a lot of work. It can be years before you earn even a paltry sum. A good chunk of that 10 years is spent earning nothing. Maybe an established player like Disney can turn on a spigot and cash comes out, but that's not how it works for most people. I also don't see how investing in the creation of something that others find valuable is "rent-seeking". You're completely free to ignore that body of work. Nothing is restricting you from creating your own.

You see the free exchange of art without remuneration in this hypothetical future as a way to drive down costs. I see artists saying "why bother?" and an inevitable stifling of art. Most of us aren't independently wealthy or magnanimous enough to work for free.
I agree, I was just pointing out the only way is live in car. It's a problem for the towns and businesses. I hire coaches for ski clubs and it's brutal. The other factor is the rental pool is going largely to airbnb so there's very little long term rentals in these areas.

"who operates their own game store and is courting developers aggressively with generous revenue split"

Yeah, I wonder why, almost like they're trying to slowly gain market share lead to then have a monopoly.

Arguing that just because right now there's alternatives that don't seem like they'll do that, right now. Is not a good argument against open source.

if any of those engines can retroactively destroy your livelihood, or make games unavailable forever for users because of $ reasons, then that is a huge enough reason to simply drop the engine.

Unreal will get eventually damage from this unity move as well, if I was a game dev I would seriously consider Godot right now, luckily I am a software dev not a game dev, only game dev I do is modding warcraft 3 so I don't have to bother about that stuff

> I disagree on 1

I disagree with your disagreement.

Your statement has achieved nothing as it doesn't address that it is a frustration users have (I'm not the only one) that might incline someone to thinking a product is garbage; "I disagree" is a moot point, as the behavior discussed influences user experience and opinion. I don't know how to make that more clear.

> For 2, it’s just a tab you can hide no?

What's your point? I don't want it. I don't want to see it. It's advertising garbage to me. I will choose products that don't do that and rank products that do as closer to garbage than products that don't.

It's also essential to the most important feature of Plex: Parse my fucking media and let me search and view it. It is core functionality and it's garbage.

I wasn't aware we were being restricted to complaining just about the UI of Plex. Can you show me where this goalpost was established? I must have missed it. As Plex is a self-hosted application, non-UI behavior is relevant to the user experience. This includes the setup and operational process.

Security updates don't really do squat in the realm of reassuring you that you're okay, and definitely wouldn't even be a thing if we had comprehensive documentation of the underlying hardware/firmware these bastards are running on. Software/hardware gets better with age, but only with full disclosure and a full, unblack-boxed picture of what you have to work with.

God, how I wish for a modern, fully documented, fully public Mobo+Processor+chipsets of reasonable oomph. Kill the firmware blackbox, and watch the quality that can be bootstrapped.

Maybe? We don't know about the other code. Most code I work with would be sticking this output in a db or email or something, so any larger piece can't be isolated, so is no longer a single unit.

I’m talking about much higher taxes than that. If you can afford a 10m slope-side deer valley home, make it a 1M+ annual tax.

The problem of people not being present cuts both ways, and I fall on the side of preferring people to be present. I want to live in a place where people are present in their communities - that doesn’t mean you have to go to every council meeting, but it does make you more invested in the quality of the neighborhood and town. Yes, you use more community services, but isn’t that the point? The local businesses have higher cash flow, you have to deal with that pothole on 7th that hasn’t been fixed yet, etc.
In Europe price labels have to have the price per kg or per unit (eg box of dishwasher tablets), so that you can easily compare.

We would have to calculate the rate of influx vs construction. There are places where there is a lot of construction but the new construction still isn't enough to keep up with demand so instead of reducing prices it just slows down the increase. In your example I would guess if that high-end housing hadn't been built the increases would have been steeper and the new arrivals would be displacing the people in lower cost housing
In theory, that's true. But what I see every day is the opposite. It's essentially what people are calling "enshitification". Mostly short term decisions that screw customers up for a quick buck.

I do agree that private does not mean good. It all falls under the CEO/Founders in my view. But there seems to be way more greedy short term thinking leaders out there.

I can probably count in my hands the amount of companies I follow that are not prioritizing the short-term. Maybe I just don't follow that many companies and I'm biased, but that's the impression I get.

Public companies seem to have an even higher rate of short-term profit seeking though.
This is what I have decided. I am leaving it in the oven and will see what happening on the Nexus in a year.
this location timeline page https://timeline.google.com/maps/timeline should be included up along in there. if not deceptive, it's certainly badly designed and confusing enough for you to overlook what options are available to you. in dark mode, these little buttons (that actually manage your data and obscure important options) are almost unnoticeable. and this is somehow the only way to delete your location data, both web and mobile. even on android it's still just a redirect to that same web page. there is no native 'delete location history' button. (and if you do open that page on android, you might have to sign in to your account again before even seeing anything lol. as always, burying and obscuring controls. it couldn't be that hard to implement a 'delete all' button on activity controls page right before, but oh nooo, what if people would actually deprive google of location data.)

why can't you just forward those radio samples back, and process that on the receiver end (your phone), vs processing on device and sending back the location?

It should be a tradeoff of less battery consumption on device, and no need for large storage, at the expense of a lot more bandwidth? Would having to send all the raw samples consume more or less battery than just processing it and sending the result?

Inflation can allow corporations to be less price-competitive, because it gets harder for consumers to judge price competitiveness. For example, you sit down at your favourite burger restaurant and see on the menu the price is now $12 instead of $8. Are they just passing on increased costs? Or are they taking the opportunity to pad their profits? I can't really tell, not without seeing if prices have gone up comparably at similar restaurants, but I'm here now and I'm hungry.

The price used to be $8 because they were in a tight battle with other burger joints, and that was as low as they could get it. Now they have to fight their suppliers, but not so much with their competition.

This is one of the reasons why high inflation creates unstable inflation, and why central banks like to keep inflation low.
The problem is that behind OS software there isn't a lot of incentive to develop.

Your question is very legit. I have been researching on that too and the best I found is this: https://finbox.com/NYSE:CHD/explorer/gp_margin

BUT, we don't really know how these gross margins are actually calculated (meaning, the reporting is all done by these corporations with very complicated accounting methodologies). All things considered though, 41.9% gross profit margin for 2022 is still pretty good. With the supply chain easing, I am very curious to see how that profit margin looks like in 2023.

My totally unsubstantiated guess is like this: labor probably got a 10% bump since COVID; raw materials and oil/gas (for transportation) probably also had like 10-20%% bump in total. Then the remaining 5% (from 35% increase in just the price, NOT including the profit from shrinking) is probably going toward the extra coffers of the corporations.

- I don't trust Google at all, data or hardware support wise, from experience.

- Apps are generally better on iOS, IMHO, although I miss the hackery apps available on Android, but I have a SIM-less Pixel 6a to play with those.

- I find the iOS experience more polished.

- iOS Shortcuts are great and well-supported. I know there's equivalents on Android but they're not as polished or well-supported by apps.

- I find the iPhone hardware quality (fit, finish, durability) is much better.

- I use AirPods and Apple Watch heavily. I'm aware that's lock-in, but I'm okay with it, for now.
American bully XL dogs to be banned, Sunak says
The relevant regulatory authorities at national and European level decided that the company had breached the law of the land and applied the appropriate fine based on that law. Would you agree with that?

It's fair to take issue with the GDPR itself, or how e.g. the people working at the Irish DPC are selected or something like that. While I have sympathy for criticisms of the system, these are free democratic entities which rule by consent (rather that tyranny) and they're applying law that was written by a great many people across many legitimate institutions. That looks like "justice" to me, unless you feel it contravenes some natural law. If you think it does this, please explain the relevant principle under which you find the fine unjust.

> the rentier class who add nothing to the value of the transaction

I lived in one of the most expensive rental markets in the US for a while, so believe me, I'm not inclined to defend landlords, but the availability of rental units do serve a function. Even if we make the crazy assumption that a law forbidding the ownership of more than one residence would have resulted in a median home price one-third of what it actually was in my market, for half the time I lived there, I couldn't have afforded a down payment and a mortgage, and for the other half, I wouldn't have wanted to. There's a risk in tying up a significant chunk of your net worth in an illiquid asset.

For what it's worth, I believe rent-seeking (in the economic sense) behavior should be heavily discouraged as a matter of public policy, and believe that a system of taxation that is centered around land-value tax is the best way to achieve that, at least for residences.
