> revoke self regulation privileges, and impose consent decrees on company behaviors.

Why? I'm on board with punitive fines, but why should the government be in the business of being a babysitter to these spoiled executives. If they can't do their job without committing crimes, send them to jail and break up the company if it's too big to fail.
It's a drug-fueled, vision or dream which to me makes it great. Neither movie has any qualities I like in scifi. Neither plays through interesting what-if scenarios and their impact on society. Blade Runner, Ex Machina or Primer are great examples of that.

Nazi germany privatized vast swaths of their economy (steel, rail, etc.) [1]. So you want america to look like Nazi Germany? /s

This is not a serious analysis of history. Besides, a large number of countries (e.g., Sweden, Norway, France) have more public ownership of corporations than Argentina.

That's your job as a line manager.

Your job is to understand the domain. Your job is to talk with users and technical support staff and product managers and read about the domain and care about what your users care about.

From there, your job is to explain what you have gathered, connect it to the technical challenges, and explain this to the ICs and work with them to make sure they understand what the right thing is.

You can do all of this on zoom calls and sending links for them to read and reinforcing this in every 1:1. Ask them questions about what they understand about the product and why it matters.

And if your reporting load is too high to dive in deep, you need to delegate many of those tasks. Explain why you are delegating them - writing a status is not the most fun task for an IC but you can use that to distill what your managers need to support the team.
Most large enough orgs have teams distributed between offices. I routinely work with people in New York, multiple locations (far enough to not be able to walk over for a meeting) in SF Bay Area and Seattle. When everyone is in their assigned office location we are still on video conference. SF office is close to an hour away from Mountain View for example. The alignment is just fine and things get done. Whether a given person is in the specific room or not makes little difference, but whether the rooms are truly engaged does. I’ve been in plenty of in person meetings where laptops open and attention goes elsewhere.
The weather doesn't seem to have been a criterion, does it? If I think about places in Europe where I would like to live and work remotely, I'm thinking Portugal, Spain, Italy. Certainly not Luxembourg, Denamrk, Netherlands and Iceland...

Also, I've been to Luxembourg myself, and the people I met there were drawing a Luxembourg salary but living across the border in France, because real estate is just much, much cheaper there.

no, in summary, airframers all contract out their windshields to the same few specialists, whose replacements are routinely retrofitted without OEM involvement, and cracks developing in a windshield designed to be resilient to a crack developing in one of the layers is not an unexpected phenomenon.

(And fwiw the bit that fell off the DC-10 that the unlawfully overloaded Concorde ran over was an engine part on a GE engine incorrectly retrofitted [twice] by Bedek and Continental respectively shortly before it detached, so it'd be difficult to imagine anything that had less to do with the half of the airframe OEM that didn't design the the non-engine parts that didn't fall off over quarter of a century earlier. Might as well get angry at Bill Gates for air traffic control failures)
Obviously, CO2 emissions are affecting global warming, but there are other factors. One noted here is:

"Berkeley Earth and EU's Copernicus also noted that an international agreement caused sulfur emissions from shipping to drop by about 85 percent in 2020, which would reduce the amount of sunlight scattered back out into space."
I’m not in the same place, but I do find it still surprising at age 40 you can flail around randomly in a city and discover entirely new areas of life that fully captivate your interest. The other day someone invited me to join a math club and now it’s my favorite part of my week. I hadn’t thought about math since I was 15. but that’s example one of dozens. not that anyone’s asking, but I think if anyone isn’t feeling satisfied they can easily try very random things and find some satisfaction and that’s what I would recommend
My team is remote

I fly every 3-6 months to meet in person for a week and it has its benefits.

But last two times we actually ran out of steam by day 3 and I found my team working physically adjacent but mentally remote in headphone land by day 3, with some not even coming in by day 4.

I’m not sure I’ll stay more than 3 nights next time.
Silly me - I thought it said pining but it said mining.

RTO is like voluntary redundancies as a solution to layoffs. It seems like its a good idea but it's not.

You rarely hear about voluntary redundancies these days for good reason. If, say, you wanted to downsize by 10% you'd seek volunteers within each division. They'd get a severance package. The net result? All the best people left because they could take the money and get another job.

RTO mandates are quiet layoffs. They're layoffs without having to pay severance. It's great (for the employer). At least in theory. Layoffs are a tool for increasing uncompensated workload (as the 5 remaining people still have to do the work of 8) and suppressing wages. Some people can't RTO (eg they moved during the pandemic). Some just don't want to. Particularly in the Bay Area, the commute is a giant waste of hours a day. So, again, the best people just leave. The ones who stay usually can't leave because they're being held captive by work visas and green card applications.

Blaming employees is nothing new here. In any large company you will see reorgs happen every 6 months, maybe more often. Some VP you've never heard of (but is in your direct management chain) now reports to a different VP who you've also never heard of. Some orgs have their names changed and there's a new set of priorities.

The point of these reorgs is for leadership to escape responsibility for consequences. There's a perpetual handover or ramping up period. Nothing lasts long enough to fail. Nothing lasts long enough to succeed either but there's little value in success and a huge cost to failure so the people involved optimize to avoid failure. More specifically, the appearance of failure.

In all of this, you, the employee, are entirely expendable. Your life can be completely upended for no other reason than someone wanted to cancel a project to give the appearance of a reorg or your name was randomly picked for a layoff on a spreadsheet. Always act in your own best interests.

> “Divest from states whose names begin with R, but not from states whose names begin with I”

I’m not sure why you expect your comment to be convincing. The facts on the ground are obviously different. I sincerely believe those differences matter. Reducing my argument to a straw man only leaves me suspecting you don’t understand my point.

In any case, if you take this as axiomatic:

> We should divest any occupier state

Do you also believe that non-indigenous people are “occupying” the USA, Canada, Australia, India, South Africa and so on? Should we all somehow return “home”? If you see Russia and Israel as the same situation, is it not also the same situation in many other countries? Where do you suggest we draw the line?

And where, exactly, do you propose the Israelis should go this time?
I didn't have a typo. Also I'm going to use names now because letters are hard to read.

The way Bob found out that Alice was ready was because Alice was uncertain about group readiness.

Maybe Alice was uncertain because she knew her own readiness but not Bob's readiness. This is the way the riddle works.

But maybe Alice wasn't sure of her own readiness. In that case Bob should not answer.

And, second issue, what if Alice was saying "Hm, I don't know [what to pick]." as a way to tell the waiter that no, everyone is not ready.
I think your and nostrademon's comments are both insightful.

What I would add as someone who has been managing collaborative science teams embedded in large companies remotely, pre- and post-pandemic, is that some forms of alignment translate to the remote setting, but other forms of alignment are more challenged. I think the boundary is probably: if the teams were aligned pre-remote, you can sustain the alignment, even with new collaborative initiatives, but gaining new alignment with new teams is way more challenging.

Which is fine when what you are doing is Business as Usual, but falls apart when there are crises or disruptions that require net new collaborative relationships.
They don't staff the counter anymore so you order from a kiosk, and if I'm ordering from a computer anyway, I might as well use an app on my phone, and then I can do it from my car in the parking lot instead of going in. I'd love to hear from McDonald's how many orders are via the app vs the kiosk vs drive thru.
I think this post does a great job of arguing against its own thesis. This woman was apparently the rank one poker player in the world. She obviously has great natural ability and works hard at what she does. So why doesn't she stick with anything for longer than a few years? Why has she had an impressive start to four or five different careers without following through on any of them to real greatness?

She believes, or wants us to believe, that her personality has helped her overcome her modest abilities. Instead it seems that her immense natural ability has overcome a personality that should by all rights have led her to ruin.
Saying something is art is really not an excuse to not put in extra effort. Proof of engineering makes a statement in itself.
Yes, you are being too paranoid. Once booted into Openwrt the router will only be running Openwrt code. I guess there's the tiny possibility of a backdoored bootloader but that would have to be a pretty sophisticated backdoor!
They invest in it because Docker is waaay out of spec with how things are done on Linux. Doing things that break the system, struggling with rootless for years, and who can miss the vendor lock-in? Podman is open and compliant and compliments k8s as well. It’s just nonsense the amount of effort developers have invested in Docker because it was first to market for easy containers.
If the RTO support is substantial And backed by the executives, why is RTO support not heard in the workplace? Except by a tiny minority? At least that's what I see in the co I work for with several thousand techies.
This is projection that gets repeated by corporatists. We've let the large corporations have their laissez-faire way since the early 80's - foreign ownership is way up, middle class ownership is way down, and the QoL for ordinary citizens has nosedived. We need to go in the opposite direction - robust, competitive and small companies that innovate and outcompete foreign behemoths.

The preference seems to be highly asymmetric. People who want to RTO want to go back and think they'll be more efficient there. People who don't want to RTO may have things childcare routines, hell, even recent moves to distant cities, that make RTO a severe hardship.

I don't mind going in to the office to meet up with my coworkers sometimes. People who took advantage of the opportunity to move to cheaper locales may have an incredibly hard time with that.
I find myself in the same hole but not because of lack of opportunities from peers or life, not because I dont have good ideas or dont know how to excecute them.

I have work mostly all my life working as a freelancer and havent been able to find a workplace that I feel really confortable. That and situations that always seem to happen in the worst possible moment, I found myself in the necesity to make my own company, what do we do? what do we make? software and hardware. anything specific? no im working towards that.

Thank you for your post, feels good to vent a little bit
USA has always been at war with post-soviet Russia.
85% of the population of Gaza has been displaced. Officials have from the start constantly stated goals of evacuating people to live in tent cities on the Sinai peninsula. This includes lower or retired officials, leaked documents, and Netanyahu himself to foreign leaders. Make no mistake, this goal is ethnic cleansing. Just because they haven’t been successful, that doesn’t mean this isn’t their goal or that they haven’t been trying. It is my inclination to believe those official given that the reality very much matches their rhetoric.

That you invoke the historical example of the Nazis seems interesting to me. World War 2 is the most devastating war in human history. About 3% of the global population died in that war. You may think Hamas is that frightening but I think this level of destruction is not proportionate to the actual threat imposed by Hamas.

Instead I would like to invoke the historic example of the IRA. Another resistance group that did horrible acts of terrorism, causing countless civilian civilian casualties. IRA was not defeated militarily, instead the Catholic population of Northern Ireland were granted equal rights, and the system of oppression was dismantled.

Israel seem very reluctant to even consider a peaceful solution as an option. So far in the current conflict peaceful solutions has save over a 100 hostages, military options has saved a single hostage (and killed at least 3).

The point with these three goals you—and Israeli officials—claim, is that they are vague or unachievable. Genocide is hardly ever stated as a goal, instead it is hidden by a rhetoric such as these. Particularly the promise of security.
Well, latest trends to talk that ultra-specialized I-shaped specialist is not good, but in modern environment should be Pi-shaped (Greek Pi letter with two legs), or multiple-legs shaped specialist, like m-shaped or even more legs.

I'm not I-shaped, so I will talk separately about different matters.

Technically, or on cybernetic industry, I'm absolutely optimistic, I'm sure, we will see Great achievements nearest time.

For others, I'm not so optimistic.

In my "viewport", international politics is not looking enough optimistic, I think it's not fatal, we will live, civilization infrastructure will survive, but possible millions of victims of non-optimal control.

Similar thing about international economy - it will sure suffer very much from non-optimal politics.

I believe, Earth will avoid new world war, but it will cost huge resources and huge number of victims in local conflicts.

Very high probability, we will see one of more waves of millions of refugees, and current refugees will not return to their home countries.

Yes, must admit, largest world subjects have great crisis, but I believe in democracy and I know from history, democracies usually become stronger in crisis.

So, also high probability, in nearest 2-3 years old democracies will resolve their crisis and world will become better, safer place, with more democracy, and next years will be just other technological circle.

Unfortunately, for non-democratic and for border worlds, things much worse. As democracies busy in their crisis, "third world" will suffer great shakes, already existing local wars and some tensions could also transform to few wars.

I'm sure in "third world" tech achievements will be used at war. I want to avoid such scenario, but I have not enough resources to do so.

And latest, sure, will be huge differences how these years will live "first world" and "third world", but I'm optimistic about border countries, who now making desperate tries to become important for "first world" - I think, their pains will be considered in "first world" and they will got significant support.

Hope you are doing okay, stay strong.
I don't have much to offer you, but I have some questions if you're willing to answer:

1. Do you have a live in partner and/or children?

2. Do you work remotely?

I ask because I'm seeing similar sentiments more lately from friends who work remotely and live alone. Even those with active social lives still have this sense of lack of fulfillment.

But I don't see it amongst peers with live in partners or children or who work in an office. In fact I had some friends who were working remotely alone who either got partners or returned to the office and their outlook improved.

To be clear, I'm absolutely not suggesting that you should get a live-in partner or children or go to the office just for socializing.

I'm more making a comment on a trend I've noticed with the rise of remote work, and one that we as a society will need to work on fixing together without forcing everyone back to work.

> And somehow they should be paid lot of money for this...

They get paid to be productive from the point of view of the company paying them. And by slapping layers of stuff together until it barely works, apparently they make profit for their company.

They are not paid to write optimized (or "good" or "useful for society") code.

Which is sad, no question asked. But it makes perfect sense given the system we live in.

I recently realized everything else I'd ever worked on amounted to nothing, because I had never figured out how to be someone. (I was something to someone growing up, but someone who still doesn't know other people are also someones.)

So I'm working on becoming someone. That's a combination of figuring out what things are just given in my life--that I am or I like or I want unprompted, naturally--and what things I choose, where I'll actually make an assessment from my values and apply my will and effort to making a change.

Hopefully once I do this, I'll be able to be someone who works on something, instead of living the remainder of my life afraid of the responsibility, and continuing to be no one working on nothing.
> When people ask questions like "Why does it take X engineers to run twitter?", well that is the reason.

What drives (drove) most of it is that as a product matures and the user base grows, polishing smaller features and chasing 0.1% wins can meaningfully drive metrics to a point that having a team focus just on a single user flow is a net positive. Enabling this often means a more modular codebase and system architecture so people aren't stepping on each other's toes. There are also exploratory features that are unlikely to pan out, but at the scale of 500M users, if they do, it's huge. A lot of this work might be wrong, but some of it isn't, and you won't know what's what until you try.

At 500M users, you also need more spam detection, account protection, content moderation, etc.

You can run status quo Twitter with fewer engineers, but don't expect incremental growth, and expect more issues like the recent SEC mishap.

There is already a lot of telemetry on North American transmission lines and even more on transmission substation equipment, because the utilities understand that these are their highest-replacement-cost assets. But in our regulatory environment, squeezing out the last increment of dynamic capacity is more of an RTO concern than a utility concern. The RTOs may be doing cost-benefit analysis on things like this, but that analysis will be very complicated.
