>In the absence of government intervention, wealth is more likely to tend toward the center. The issue is that any democratic form of government featuring any kind of legislature reliant on voting will be bought.

Every non-democratic form will be bought even faster, if it's not operated directly by the "buyers" in the first place.

Though I doubt that "in the absence of government intervention, wealth is more likely to tend toward the center". There are dozens of ways for the rich to get richer and fuck the poor/center over without government intervention. In a more anarchic, no-government-at-all situation, for an extreme example, they are the ones to afford the best mercernaries and dictate terms...
Academia has always seemed like a colossal joke to me. You pay a lot of money, give up a lot of opportunities to advance in life that are offered to everyone else, have no skills relevant to working in any industry related to your field of study, forced to give up family and community, will probably end up marrying someone who is also from Academia, all so you can have three little letters next to your name.

Or just not have them at all. Children are expensive and postdoc salaries suck.
Are they missing the money or the environment? It could be both, but bigtech compensation is one of the few places left to create a solid balance sheet for a household, and that's first and foremost what bigtech offers to its employees.
Academia also has a lot of work to do to reconcile the idea of an expanding research sector, and environmental responsibility.

It's kind of hard to reconcile exotic conference destinations and increased travel to visit your family with a future with less planes, and academia being a very small ivory tower with few people is a thing of the past, so this can't be pushed under the rug anymore.

There are job tiers, especially if you have two working spouses, where full RTO for one if the other can stay remote could mean it's cheaper just to have one spouse stop working.

Another factor is always housing.
My spouse is on a team with a bunch of people that essentially relocated out of commute range during COVID. If you don't need to be within 45min train of SF/NYC, you can save 25-75% on housing, and probably have lower income tax rate too. A lot of these people also bought housing at 3% mortgage rates which would need to be replaced with a 7% mortgage. $200K in say PA outside Philly or CT outside Greenwich tier is absolutely killing it. $200k in Manhattan/Jersey City is permanent renter status, maybe 2 bedroom if lucky.

I'd also say that there was a 2 year peak of hopefulness that big tech jobs would become a national phenomenon.. rather than crowding all the good paying jobs into a few zip codes where you need to pay everyone a ton so they can piss all that money on overpriced housing. Yet here we are, the economy has turned and companies having the upper hand want to go back to 2019.
Well negotiation is definitely a work skill and every single person does it many times per day so it’s a valuable skill to improve.

Is that not a sunk cost? From here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost

I got:

The bygones principle does not always accord with real-world behavior. Sunk costs often influence people's decisions, with people believing that investments (i.e., sunk costs) justify further expenditures. People demonstrate "a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment in money, effort, or time has been made". This is the sunk cost fallacy, and such behavior may be described as "throwing good money after bad", while refusing to succumb to what may be described as "cutting one's losses".
Determiners can't be used as adjectives, ever. When applied to a noun, they fit into the determiner spot. There is no way to change that.

"Determiners can be used as pronouns" isn't true either, though many of them can. See whether you think you can do it with every or a(n).

I just don't understand how they can package all of this for $20/m. Is compute really that cheap at scale?

I also wonder how Apple (& Google) is going be able to provide this for free? I would love to be fly in the meetings they have about this, imagine all the innovators dilemma like discussions they'd be forced to have (we have to do this vs this will eat up our margins).

This might be a little out there but I think Apple is making the correct move in letting the dust settle. Similar to how Zuckerberg burned $20 billion dollars for Apple to come out with Vision Pro, I see something similar playing out with Llama. Although this a low conviction take because software is Facebooks ballgame (hardware not so much).

Ask HN: Booking.com terminated our account. Can anybody help?
After 10 years, booking.com terminated our affiliate account, saying that we breached the contract.

We did not do this, but now have no way to appeal or get any sort of help. Customer services ignore all our messages.

We normally convert thousands each month, and been doing everything according to their rules all these years.

I am certain that this is caused by of some automation that incorrectly terminated our account.

I am hoping that someone who works at booking.com sees this and can help.

I've finally replaced my iPhone X with a 15 Pro.

The X had a cracked screen for a couple years now. It's still waterproof (at least under the sink, I haven't submerged it for longer than that) and the crack didn't really bother me much so I never replaced it.
While all these theories sound plausible, you have to keep in mind that Microsoft does not have an RTO policy. Their campus is 20 minutes from Amazon.

Much of that growth comes from the West exporting manufacturing to low cost countries to reduce costs. This of course enriches the rich and the powerful in the west by the 100%+ margins they are able to command by the above while also reducing costs for consumers in the West at the same time.

So what you really need is broad support for higher prices and possibly leadership change in the west.

Eventually emerging economies will switch to domestic consumption as the wealth driver but they're (especially China) is already well ahead on renewables as they neither produce oil, not have the military muscle just now to ensure uninterrupted supplies from elsewhere - so much so that anti dumping duties have been implemented or threatened on import of renewables from China which slows down renewables switch in the West, increases its costs and achieves the opposite of the sacrifice you mention.

So the situation is a lot more complicated :-)

Ending the mortgage interest tax deduction would also be a good move. It does nothing but subsidize larger mortgages and asset price inflation.
Yes, it's absolutely a sunk cost.

Which doesn't mean some companies won't fall into the fallacy, but it's not likely to be the primary reason for RTO.
Sorry, often enough it is incompetence and malice. Just look how much all the various dictators of "officially" piss poor third world countries have looted away. Robert Mugabe, who wrecked Zimbabwe, is suspected to have looted over a billion dollars [1], and he's just a small fish compared to what other dictators have looted [2]. Libya is one of the world's top oil reserve holders, and yet the country is in shambles, with war lords not caring about anything. Venezuela just the same, tons of oil but mismanagement has worn down everything so massively that they depend on foreign imports of refined oil products, not to mention food.

Were it not for utter incompetence, these places would be swimming in money - enough money to restart local agricultural production and provide wealth to all citizens to a degree that would let Europeans look at them like when they do at a transit in Dubai.

Fun fact: a lot of this wealth is safely guarded here in Europe. We could seize it any day we wanted.

Really, the problem isn't tokio. The problem is this:

> An inconvenient truth about async Rust is that libraries still need to be written against individual runtimes.

That's really the heart of it. If it was really just a runtime, it wouldn't matter what implementation you plugged in.

...but it's not true for the rust runtime; I mean, it's understandable, how can you have one runtime that is multi-threaded and one runtime that is not, and expect to be able to seamlessly interchange them?

I understand it's hard and lot of work went into this, but let's face this. This article is right:

Practically speaking, tokio has become 'the' rust async runtime; but it's an opinionated runtime, that has a life cycle and direction outside of the core rust team.

That wasn't where we intended to end up, and it's not a good place for things to be. I, at least, agree: avoid async. Avoid teaching rust using async. When you need to use it, partition off the async components as best you can. I <3 rust and I use it a lot, but the async story stinks.

We should have an official runtime, officially managed, and guided by the same thoughts that guide the rest of the language.

What we have now is a circus. After 4 years of async being in stable.

The speed of user-visible progress last 12 months is astonishing.

From my firm conviction 18 months ago that this type of stuff is 20+ years away; to these days wondering if Vernon Vinge's technological singularity is not only possible but coming shortly. If feels some aspects of it have already hit the IT world - it's always been an exhausting race to keep up with modern technologies, but now it seems whole paradigms and frameworks are being devised and upturned on such short scale. For large, slow corporate behemoths, barely can they devise a strategy around new technology and put a team together, by the time it's passé .

(Yes, Yes: I understand generative AI / LLMs aren't conscious; I understand their technological limitations; I understand that ultimately they are just statistically guessing next word; but in daily world, they work so darn well for so many use cases!)

In the vast majority of cases, you’re not going to know what an individual brings to the job for 6 months to a year at the minimum. The majority of the pay difference between 2 people with the same job title (assuming standard bigco leveling) comes down to negotiating ability.

Published pay ranges aren’t going to solve anything, but they do reduce the information asymmetry a little bit. They give you and idea of what is possible for they title in that company at that location. Companies have an incentive to post a relatively accurate range, and in most of the jobs I’ve applied for it was.
Corruption happens under any form of government, it doesn't require democracy. The risk for corruption is always there when power is centralized, the more you centralize the more incentive there is.

If anything democracy has only shown that it isn't a magic bullet for corruption. Part of the goal is that oversight by the voting public will eventually weed out the corrupt, that works somewhat and should certainly be better than no oversight from other forms of government.

A business is stuck paying for that lease regardless of how many butts are in seats in it. That is a fixed sunk cost they can't do anything about.

However, every employee not in the office isn't using office pens, putting wear on office furniture that will need replacement, filling office trash cans that need to be emptied by someone, burning out office light fixtures that need to be replaced, and using office toilet paper that will need replenishment.

Bringing them back to the office doesn't make the lease any cheaper, but it does make operating the space more expensive.
