Cold boot perf is a good yard stick but it’s not that important in your workflow. Except when it crashes. They really should work on that. Quality as a feature.

Missing the word exciting in the title.

What wild times we live in that a regional court can block access globally to a website.

"Block access" doesn't capture what happened. A court with personal jurisdiction over the website operator ordered them to take it down under threat of fines and jail time. Websites are operated by humans, who are subject to the laws of their local community.

Yeah, I could have sworn we had a revolution to stop old men in Europe from telling us what we can and can't do.

Can you explain what has not gone well for you? How has it gone for the rest of the team?

To me personally, working remote makes me feel like I'm working completely alone. For me, it's hard to feel like anyone cares what I'm doing, which has made it hard to make myself put in effort. That's a recipe for a downward spiral, which is exactly what my work has been since the pandemic.

I'm not saying the office is some perfect, joyous or highly social place or anything. I just think for me, it makes a big difference to have a place (different from my house) where people come together to work on common goals, and occasionally interact face-to-face while doing it.

Thanks for the explanation.

Can you imagine feeling fine with more frequent WFH yourself, if something about the culture changed?

For example, could you otherwise get the vibe that people were engaged and wanted to be working together, even when it was on intermittent chat and videoconf?

(And if there were occasional in-person meetups, if only for more personalizing or focusing?)

That's awesome, I'm glad you have the option to work in a way that fits into your life.

Maybe I’m not stating it clearly: I want to work on a team that’s in the office full time, which I don’t currently have. I’d take a pay cut to get it! If you know of anyone doing this, please let me know. Not hybrid. 5 days in office, for everyone.

I know of one company, Axis Communications, one of the reasons I'm not working there anymore.

But there's a fair amount of forcing involved.

Me thinks you're not going to find many companies filled with people who enjoy living in the office.

None of those things change by physically being somewhere else.

Nobody cares what you’re doing because they’re sitting vaguely near you.

Those rose colored glasses are goddamn dark, my friend.

I find it so hard to understand this type of militancy. In what other situation is it normal to respond to the statement "I have a preference for X" with "no you don't / you have issues / take responsibility for yourself"? I prefer working with others around and I'd like to work with others who feel the same way. That isn't a personal attack on you or anyone else :)

Interest rates are dropping. Jobs are appearing and new ideas are forming. There will probably be fewer silly startups. Hopefully we will see some new technology that has a meaningful impact.

The first two sentences are in opposition to the third sentence.

I agree, people's creativity in grabbing cash from VCs has no limits. You'd think you've lived long enough to see enough and the next day you get another surprise.

But maybe that's the way it should be - a lot of rubbish and among them one good idea that gets developed and actually make some positive change.

Even the VCs will tell you that is the case.

If you’re looking for privacy don’t bring a two way radio gps tracker with you everywhere you go.

I'm not looking for perfect location privacy from the government. What's that got to do with the subject at hand?

I think there are plenty of other competent alternatives on the market now that match the price points of Teslas. Their supercharger network with free or cheap access was their main competitive advantage. I don’t think it’s as relevant now for a purchasing decision.

I mostly agree. Tesla cars have been surpassed quality-wise for quite some time now by the established manufacturers from Europe and Asia. But Tesla's charger network is still a boon. Charging on the road is really a hassle with all the different networks trying to lock you in. In Europe AFIR [1] is going to change that, but it is going to take some time.

There really aren't.

Great cross between civil engineering and cyber security with a couple of good examples of past incidents.

To recreate this, start a new chat conversation, tell ChatGPT to ask you about your first week in high school. Then, use the browsers dev tools to hide the first message sent by you to ChatGPT. Watch SkyNet grow.

I’m curious what value this story has for a hacker news user? I saw this headline, and moved on without blinking.

For me the value is the intelligent commentary produced by such a story.
