I work from home because the office is not always a pleasant place to be. I peg the reasons as due to an open office floorplan and micromanagement.

Management has torn down the cubicles in favor of open workspaces. Several of my coworkers carry on loud conversations or use their speakerphones. There are frequent interruptions. I can't concentrate.

The preponderance of micromanagement (in the form of Agile + Scrum) also encourages working from home. Instead of sitting in useless meetings in person, I can dial in and get work done while the meeting drones on and on...
I've been working from home for 3 years now. I am part time now, but still manage to get more done than the other people in the office. I use the rest of my time to... work! I work on my own projects in the VR space, which probably nobody would have ever hired me for if I had just applied to jobs.

As other people have mentioned, I can't imagine going back. I've actually looked at going back, gone to interviews and such (I get pinged by recruiters constantly and sometimes I cave and listen to what they have to say). And every time, I'm just struck by how alien everyone's behavior is in the office. It's creepy, and then I remember I used to be like that, too. And then I'm good for another year or two.
The page doesn't do much to tell me why I would choose to use this over something I've heard of before.
There is a lot of coal left:

"America has plenty of coal. Its mines produced 1.2 billion tons in 2006, nearly all of it destined for electricity generation.31 That was a record year, but it barely scratched the surface of U.S. recoverable coal reserves, which are estimated at about 270 billion tons."

CNET Update – Apple Watch Mania Continues as Reviews Roll In
Pretty obscure complaints for a reader that doesn't even support EPUB...
What specific barriers were removed in France that should have been kept in place?
The 'problem' is that there are relatively few minor characters. Though there are clearly some overarching plot lines, pretty much all the arcs are very important to the story.

As a result you've got to focus a little bit on each person and in a 55 minute show that means 5-10 minutes per story arc per episode. This only gets worse as more characters become important. It's somewhat balanced by other characters being killed off, mind!
I've seen that happen, too, but I've also seen it work.

It's very rare that any country's government consists entirely of people acting in concert, so it seems strange to make a sweeping statement like that. Besides that, there are also real costs to environmental devastation.
Job you hate
I think this product is an interesting one. When the iPhone, iPod, or iPad came out you didn't have reviewers establishing their credibility as a "MP3 Player" or "Tablet" enthusiast in order to give their perspective merit.

With the Apple Watch you have watch enthusiasts though who come out and discuss why it is a poor comparison to industry standards established for the market. Ultimately I think a lot of "watch enthusiasts" will see through the marketing and be displeased while tech enthusiasts will judge the product on different standards.
Perhaps. Depends how you define 'recoverable'. Could it be recovered without machinery that runs on oil?
When I'm bored I mentally plan out my on-demand hamburger factory food cart. Seems totally feasible in my head.
If there was an option to just pay HBO per episode and then legally torrent the episode, I'd gladly do it in a heartbeat. Heck, it could be as simple as an HBO web page where I can donate an appropriate amount, and that would in turn legalize the download. I wouldn't even want them to digitize or host the content (they'd screw it up anyway). Sadly, that's not going to happen.

I think illegal filesharing threatens the industry primarily not because it's free, but because it offers a lot of features and convenience which the content providers refuse to grant their customers willingly.
Who says they didn't? Perhaps their families used to have more hungry nights.

Something like the Oculus (VR) or Hololens (AR) IMHO.

Problem with the "future mother of all demos" is that it seems the viewers need new hardware to experience it. How do you do an "AR" demo that's not distinguishable from movie FX (i.e. a fake example).
Why does it have to be anybody's?
"on and off" versus regularly during the experiment. So the baseline was not well-established.
There were frequently 10-15 people in the standups. And sure, you can say "if it's longer, it needs to be stopped" but management doesn't work like that.

What I don't understand is why does social life have to be tied to work?

It doesn't. But as you get older there are fewer and fewer other avenues to meet people, unless you proactively join social clubs and the like.
> So what? Let them. They get estimates that are relative to each other (~this~ story will take longer than ~that~ story)

First, they'll ask how much longer ~that~ task will take to complete than ~this~ task. Then, they'll ask how long ~this~ task will take to complete. Then, they'll use this little trick called "math"[1].

> and can estimate them however they like if they want to; we're not committing to their estimate

Well, guess what? If you refuse to give deadlines, then they'll be established for you. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a say in my deadlines (where possible).

If you haven't, it's worth picking up "What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry" by Markoff and "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Stephen Levy as well. The three combined come at roughly the same material from sufficiently different angles to complement each other quite nicely without getting too repetitive.
Yes. Dirt cheap (new) solar panels have been sprouting all over Africa, India and China in the last couple of years. It's quite a sight to behold, sometimes.

These panels became such a 'threat' that Obama slapped tariffs on them.

I work from home and it's less than half and half for our team. But working from home doesn't mean you don't communicate. Email, Document collaboration, Regular VC all contribute to the visibility of your work. No one can take credit for my work because I'm extremely visible through multiple channels. I don't even show up at the office more than once every few months.

Visibility doesn't have anything to do with being in the office. It has everything to do with communication and you can do that with a VC pretty much as easily as you can face to face.
"Or flip a biased coin twice" - TFA argues that there is no such thing.

> That's why cypherpunks each bring their own coin and XOR the heads

I'm not sure what part of the article you are referring to here, but this is more about the XOR being decorrelated from either of the inputs than about anything to do with the efficacy/existence of a biased coin, right?
Exactly. Get them out of the conference room and back at their desks. They can put on headsets, run a collaboration tool (like Sococo) and turn on their video cameras. Now everyone is on an even footing! And its actually better than what you're doing now - everyone can share docs with everyone else; others can be called into the meeting in seconds; folks can chat privately and get their stories straight so presentations go smoother.

Even though we make Sococo, we had to train our management to ONLY do Sococo conferences for exactly the reasons you mention. Everything went much faster after that.

In fact we have to train them to stop calling it a 'conference call'. Its just a meeting, like any other meeting you ever held before. Except everyone can hear everyone perfectly; more than one person can share docs (at the same time!) and everyone can keep in sync effortlessly.
I can't go to a newline, both my enter keys are not doing anything. Is this intentional?
They're just empty threats to make you sign up for HBO service. I don't recall hearing of HBO ever going after anyone who just downloaded a torrent. They've said in the past that they accept some level of piracy as part of the business model; so long as people are watching their shows they will keep making money.

It's not "sure, go ahead and pirate our shows!" but more of "People pirate our shows, so we look at piracy for trends to see what countries/audiences have a large, underserved viewer base for our shows." Some people pirate because shows are unavailable, so you can sell to them and make money. People who pirate because they're cheap and don't want to pay aren't HBO's target customers (and they probably don't have enough money to be worth suing anyway).
Just skipping a meal every now and then isn't even a problem. Fasting through a mealtime or three isn't going to hurt anyone who is otherwise healthy and well fed for most other meals. It may be uncomfortable, but you don't need to eat every day, the body stores fat for good reason. (and as you said, a less balanced Clif bar or a handful of almonds would carry you through single-instances of missed meals pretty well too).

To me, Soylent is only interesting because they're wanting to replace every meal for normal adults living normal lives. Anything less is just better marketing of an Ensure clone.

I have worked for years from home. I'm currently at the first job that requires me to be in the office every day. However, there are no managers here - in fact, they are the ones that are remote while all of us developers get work done.

I actually like being in an office where I can talk with other developers about projects. That is something I missed working remotely as it was harder to tell if I could call someone up and would be interrupting them if we just talked about programming or ideas.

At any rate, I'll be returning to working from home in the near future I think. Even good algorithm talks don't beat time with family.
Well I probably should have said "necessary reading abilities to acquire topics through available means."

They are capable of understanding the topics. They have problems with sitting down and learning the topic through reading vast amounts of text. It is all well and good to have professors or search engines boil things down to bullet points for easy absorption, but some topics (law, literature, medicine, physics, religion, history) require the reading of original text. That text could be 100 years old and cover hundreds of pages. Understanding it sufficiently to discuss and debate with others means spending hours, days, doing nothing but reading. No cooperation, no building teams, just you and a book/screen. The students I see, products of modern highschools, lack that skill.

Generally, developers focus on a single platform (eg: iOS), and whomever hired them hires another dev to handle the each other mobile platform (eg: Android, etc).

Six Things We Need to Get Right About Email
Let's say government A implements a carbon tax that increases fossil fuel costs by 25%. Government B chooses not to do so. So energy, the driver of the economy, is 25% cheaper for government B, giving them a competitive advantage.

Now government A will be under massive internal pressure to abolish the carbon tax, because they're losing market share to the cheap energy of government B.

That's why it won't work. Externalized costs are a problem, but they're not a problem we're going to do anything about in a serious way.
I agree - it's the automated aspect of it that I feel uncomfortable with.
All of these systems are security by obscurity. Just suggesting them on a blog ruins them. Watermarking is not truly possible with current technology, which means you can't give someone something without given them control over it. Is that such a bad thing?

Right, but the point is, all the easy coal was mined first. To get those enormous stockpiles, you need advanced tools.

The article thus asks: if we lost those tools, and the knowledge/infra to make them, would we have enough readily available energy to practice and re-discover them, given that you need those tools to get to the remaining energy?
Yeah. Communism is great in theory as well. It doesn't work though.
Well, they're 'really' 20 different companies with a long history of cooperation. Refineries pretty much have to pay attention to their suppliers and customers because they're a captive market with no ability to remarket or rebrand.

ISIS (at least last year, don't know right now) funded their operations in large part with stolen oil. When the price of oil halved, that hurt their operations significantly.
While I agree with you, I think what is claimed it that Israel and AQ are unique in their potential for destruction ("threaten world peace") not necessarily their previous actions in that regard.

If that is the case, comparing their body count is almost meaningless.
One reason they don't catch on is that a keyboard is like $20. I always wanted to get a DataHand but they were over $1000. Buying one for home and one for work made it even worse.
I honestly think that there needs to be a compromise between the weekly releases common in TV and the season dumps common by streaming services like Netflix. Dumping the whole season at once doesn't allow any communal discussion or suspense, dragging it out over 2 months is meant more to drive revenue for the distributors than the enjoyment of the viewing public. I think releasing 3 episodes a week is probably the optimal strategy; it gives the show's communities time to confer and it keeps a reasonable pace without placing what some apparently feel is a demand to watch all 13 episodes in one sitting. It mitigates spoiler paranoia that you get with Netflix shows (which only further diminishes the communal aspects) and does other good things. I think it's all around the best strategy for the consumer. I understand Netflix uses binge releases as one of its selling points, but maybe now that they've established a respectable pedigree, they can stage some of their releases in iterations moving forward.

>developers being empowered to work on what's most important at the moment
There's the problem, the "moment" is the sprint. If you're need for a flexible time frame is less than a week then Scrum isn't going to work for you. There are other methodologies that might work (Kanban say), but I'd also question whether you're doing pure development or mixing in support as well.

> "Project Managers" don't exist in Scrum.
> Right. Just project owners. Uh huh.
"Product Owners" should never, ever, ever be Project Managers or anything like them! They're supposed to be from the business end of things. The worst projects I've ever seen in Scrum land have been developing for project manager's needs (the only time PMs get to be POs) and it went horribly because they act like project managers not business people focusing on what they actually need the product to do.

If your consultants are confusing Kanban and Scrum then I'd run screaming for the hills. I've literally just come out of a retrospective where we had a discussion about switching from Scrum to Kanban for a load of impact analysis heavy work, they are different beasts both good at different things.

i am less convinced

i read a long time ago someone's interpretation of the history of film as being invented in reverse: starting with impressionism and developing hyper realism;

it's an overly simplistic break down with all the standard caveats but it has a certain amiable pithiness to it

look at some of these movies that are attempting higher frame rates and you'll see the audience is suddenly unimpressed by the same set tricks and computer effects that were stunning them days before in another film at lower frame rates

i remember the first time i saw an HD tv that i was truly impressed by they were playing a battle scene from film i had seen many times before, i walked by and stopped in my tracks because the wall mount appeared to be a window, the title characters were riding horses on an expanse of pasture before the battle, it was stunningly beautiful, but after some dialogue they took off running down a hill to meet another army and the camera panned back and i could very easily pick out which ten of the hundreds of charging horses were real and which were drawn in triangles, i could nearly count the triangles

very similar to the effect while watching an animated film with lush painted backdrops: you see a forest scene and you just know that one tree branch is going to break off because it was painted by the animators and the hue and stroke is just slightly off

i think efforts like the one in the article, and the one in the comment above linking the shinobi 3 video, may come prebaked into visual media

i buy a copy of iron man 3 in the year 2071 and it will display on my super pixel screen in such a way to make it appear like it is being watched on the tech it was built for, smudging those lines between organics and triangles

Well, Russia is neither North or South in this context, it is East. There's also a slant so that it's perhaps Nort-West compared to South-East.

But I also have the perception that within Italy, there is quite a strong north-south divide? Turin and Milan are quite different from Naples and Palermo, also in the mind of Italians, regarding level of corruption?

RED Introduces 8K Full-Frame WEAPON Camera, Shipping End of 2015
In normal countries when you forgot the key in the ignition and your car gets stolen as as consequence, the law comes down hard on the thief. And then the law comes down on you. To borrow Smokey Bear's slogan it's because "Only YOU can prevent crime of opportunity!"

In normal countries, such things as criminal energy expended and severity of the crime also factor into the size of punishment, but that isn't the point here; the point is that through their weak security practices the administration fosters a criminogenic environment.
