Reducing costs by hiring in other countries is not as easy as it seems.

In reality there is an opportunity to hire wider pool of full time applicants in US because now you can offer even 1 day a week in the office instead of 5 or doing 1 day a month.

If I have to consider company that is 2h driving away - one way - and be there 5 days a week, that is a deal breaker.

Doing that once a week is still much more manageable and opens up opportunities for employees and employers as well. Especially if someone can't just move to next big city on a whim but can drive there once a week.

I was going to suggest considering looking into vosk but... clearly that suggestion isn't very useful to you. :)
are we really not that identifiable with all of the fingerprinting techniques and what not? the majority of people do not use VPNs to cover their tracks, and most home ISPs don't rotate their IPs that frequently that my tin foil hat suggests that for the non-techie person attempting to foil the IDing, they're IDing them.
I think it's going to be both different for different people and different for different types of jobs. maybe making web apps is not affected at all by work from home where as some other jobs, say game dev, where you'd like to tweak something and hand the controller to your partner to test immediately "does it feel better than the last tweak from 15 seconds ago?" is more affected by work from home? In an extreme example, I suspect people practicing to put on a live play together can't each do their role at home over video chat. Or back to games, I suspect adjust local-multiplayer gameplay is not something you can do without actually having multiple people in the same physical location.

As for different people, I'm way more productive around others than by myself. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being most productive, I'd give being around my teammates to be 9-10, being at a cafe with people I don't know around a 7. Being at home by myself varies from 3 to 10. Their are certainly spurts of productivity at home for me but there's also zero feeling of camaraderie which is something that gives me energy.

Maybe it's related to the similar feeling of watching a movie at a full theater on opening night vs watching at home on my large TV. There's an energy at the theater that's missing from the home viewing. Similarly, for me, there's an energy at work with teammates that missing from working at home. By that's just my experience with my jobs.

No, sorry. These are all defeated by hiring contractors.

The real issues are, ironically, the collaborative barriers. Different cultures have different standards of work, a different working culture, and honestly different time zones.

The “24 hour dev shop” is a risk, but work moving overseas is only a problem at the commodified software level, like a SaaS b2b where a shit tool with one little innovation saves five minutes can scale to millions in savings.

Attempting to have a conversation by laughing in someones face as a starter is incredibly obnoxious. If you thought so little of what I had to say why reply at all? What are you hoping to gain by doing this?

I'm not sure you how get a 200x multiplier from per GB prices when the list prices are not per GB of transfer but per GB of capacity. Or are you taking a 1Gb/s price average of $1000/mo and then assuming 100% egress activity on this pipe then multiplying a full month of this 100% usage by the AWS price and dividing the two? I get around 230x there, but this is not a practical comparison, and these types of links are quite different than a standard COLO, so you're in for quite a bit of overhead.

Plus, if you actually used this much bandwidth on AWS, 2.5PB, you could get nearly a 10x break in pricing, bringing the multiple down to 23x. If you didn't try to pre purchase the multiple would be something like 80x because of their built in automatic tiering.

In terms of CloudFront I'm getting a global caching layer. In terms of EC2 I get the VPC. I'm getting quite a bit more than just the bandwidth. In terms of luck, we feel we don't need it because we've actually sat down and calculated the costs (even all the above) for running the type of product we're running, and it's /far cheaper/ to do it entirely inside AWS.

This is all assuming you actually wanted to discuss this on merit.

Not an expert, but I have read somewhere probably the most effective use of this is to pump water back up behind dams - imagine you could pump water from the bottom of hoover dam using wind power or whatever. All the generation equipment is already there, so you sorta get that for free. Additionally with lake mead shrinking this might enable more hydro power from existing infrastructure even in the face of climate change.

What this means for water-rights downstream, I have no idea - probably not good.
I also had a bit of an annus horribilis last year, and ended up taking almost a year off of blogging out of a sense of embarrassment and shame. I wanted to thank you for having the courage to write this and share the work through which you have been processing everything. It really would have helped to see all of this writing about 10 months ago, so I am glad it is here for everyone else and for my own inevitable next time at "rock bottom."

I also wanted to encourage you to keep going with your creative work, because I know it can really help fathom the depths of your mind in a way that "logical" thought really can't. For me, it was playing the piano and writing some (bad) compositions. You write very well, and I hope it brings you some clarity and relief.

Thank you and my best wishes to you and your family.

I think you missed the point, there's two forks in the history of Blink (Chromium). Yes, Blink is a fork of WebKit, but WebKit is a fork of KHTML. So it's not like it originated at Apple either, it originated at KDE.

And its not weird to separate strategic choice from execution. I am arguing against somebody that said the strategic choice should have been to develop 737 successor instead of 787. That's just strategy. They could have the same kind of production issues and execution issues in that plane as well.

The 787 has fantastic product market fit, has good new technology in it and will be a cornerstone for Boeing for decades. The issues with 787 are production, not understanding what it can do. But despite those production issues, orders keep coming in.

Sorry, i dont have time to read the whole thread. A quick search for "blender" revealed just one hit. Here is my unprofessional take.

Use blender as a gateway for his visual ambitions. You can use his drawings as a background and sculpt something pretty from that blue print. Then get to animations, then the blender game engine, then python. Just as options ofc.

Blender looks frightening at first, so you might to learn some before to overcome the first hurdles but there are also alot of kid friendly tutorials out there.

Good luck :)

Edit: Working with blender is actual fun and this graphical approach has also the advantage for nudging him very slowly into this monumental task :)

They did have Google Videos before they bought Youtube, and integrated it a while after.
I find it fascinating that, even in countries that have used metric for centuries, humans still prefer non-decimal fractions of the base units: my mother would buy 1/2 a kilo of ham or 1/4 kilo of butter for example. Her cooking recipes required a cup of milk, not 1/4 liter, and so on.

For me work avoidance is a symptom of not having enough interruption free time. And in-person is actually substantially worse than remote.

Most of the problems I’m working on you can’t bang out in 10 minutes. Reality is that for some problems you need a highly skilled engineer to spend 4-8 continuous, highly focused hours producing iterations or trying to troubleshoot a broken build in a 20,000 line log file across 100 interconnected dependencies. So if you’re going to be productive it requires a time commitment and a certain working style.

No, the whole point of the "me too" apps is that Google forbids choice. The device has to have the Google apps pre installed and the only way vendors can attack this monopoly is by putting their apps in addition ("instead" is forbidden).

Sure, the vendor apps often suck, but that is no reason to support monopolies.

Surely any sophisticated ad buyer would understand how "audience" is calculated, and know to account for people who download but don't listen, right? Like isn't part of the reason to have per-podcast promo codes is to figure this out?
Not necessarily.

Consider this situation: you hire a contractor. They work for you for several years, and then you fire them. The contractor goes to the labor court in their country and files a claim stating that, yes, their contract says that they are an independent contractor, but no, since you've employed them "full-time" for several years continuously, they are a defacto/de jure employee. (Which is a valid argument under the labor laws of certain countries)

What will you do:

- Spend the time and money refuting their claim? (You need to find a good lawyer in that foreign country; lawyers are expensive; and someone on your side needs to spend their time coordinating with them)

- Ignore the claim? (Not a good idea if you ever want to visit that country in the future)

The claim itself might be nonsense; that's immaterial. You're faced with a Hobson's choice if said contractor drags you to court.

(Addendum: this is why I made the point that labor law is local. When you hire a national of a foreign country, in general, you subject yourself to the jurisdiction of the courts of that country for labor related disputes.

I am not sure if a clause in an employment contract stating that the agreement is governed by U.S. law would be accepted by a local court; and even if it did, in litigation, you'd most likely have to represent yourself before the local court to make that objection.)

Yeah, that is true. And even as I typed that I thought, PTP can be fairly hand off and auto negotiates most stuff. I guess E2E vs P2P it can't really because they can represent different physical infrastructure.

I like the other comment that stressed the kid doesn’t want to learn to code, he wants to make a game and spend time with you. If anything, I’d find very quick 2D tools and sell him on it as a “draft” or proof of concept that you can convert to 3D later. Then focus on design and let his imagination run wild storyboarding it, etc.

A complete trusted boot chain, lack of third-party kernel modules, and remote attestation. Nothing runs in iOS kernel space without Apple saying so (which is NOT the case for desktop operating systems), which is a prerequisite for remote attestation (which iOS also supports).
