WFH is ONE workplace compensation claim away from ending at your company.

- HR exists to mitigate legal risks to the company

- The company cannot manage health and safety risks at your home

- HR is going to insist that WFH ends with implementation of the OSHA vaccine mandate

- The lawyers are coming to destroy your WFH comfy slippers and sweatpants

I seriously thought my wife and I were going deaf and crazy because we only watch movies at home with subs on. This article eliminates one of those concerns, but now we are crazy and mad.

This is worse than compression of pop music for Spotify broadcasting, this affects the core storytelling of the media. We purposely did NOT go see James Bond in the theater knowing that we wouldn't understand anything people were saying.

My first instinct is to throw a Raspberry PI at the problem, but I am not sure where to start.

50 years since building my first heathkit radio with Dad on the kitchen table and I still love reading about the bleeding edge of silicon, algorithms, philosophy, development ideas, and anything else we all churn up. I appreciate the group effort behind HN and rely on YOU for a focus on things that really matter.

Thank you for all the hard work

Before I started visiting, I was told that TABASCO was the key to surviving Japan because it goes with everything; fish eyes, ink sacks, sea urchin guts, etc... 20-years later I realize how delicious nearly everything is on its own. (I still don't recommend any of the aforementioned, especially while wearing a white shirt)

Won't somebody start thinking about the HUMANS!

Why are we paying all these scientists to extend the lives and study the well-being of MICE!

Stupid mice, all they ever do is steal the dog food in winter.

Come-on science! Get with the program.

This is a VERY crowded market. What are you bringing that makes your product unique and valuable? Videos?

Is the video content curated? By whom and how?

Are you charging the video suppliers? What's the model for you and for them?

If not, do you have copyright coverage for the videos?

This seems like a challenging app space for an independent developer

give back my scroll bars just like my 'esc' key!!!

First aid for burns. Imagine an ointment tube of this that you could immediately apply to large burns then simply add water and create a sterile coverage for moisture retention under bandages

The French called this the "le principe Donny et Marie," based on some research from the mid 70's for some reason. Oooh la la, those hot pants!

Great writing skills are what really drive humanity forward.

This amazing work could have been done quietly for the benefit of the ONE.

Now the MANY benefit from the fix and more importantly the process, the challenges, the failures. Writing the post doubled the work required and likely required longer than fixing the original problem.

IF YOU DON'T WRITE IT DOWN, IT NEVER HAPPENED.

There should be a Presidential award for posts like this this

[From one Product Manager to another]

Some have called Product Management the “Visionary’s Whipping Post” as role sits internally between the company’s development, accounting, production, and accounting teams who all need someone to blame for their woes. Others have describes the role in terms of shuttle diplomacy between external customer needs and internal corporate objectives. How would you describe or frame the role of Product Manager?

For your own organization, where do you strike the balance between Microsoft's "Promise everything even if you don't have it" and Apple's "Say Nothing until it's available in the store," promotional strategies and how does your position relate to your unique line of products, industry and customers?

Are you currently in a product expansion phase or option/feature expansion phase?

Are you positioning yourself for a new market segment or extending your reach into the existing customer base?

What products or industries do you admire or see as well managed?

Microsoft Office365 is not the same across MAC and Windows 10 machines. The Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Outlook features and capabilities are not the same.

Teams is barely useable on OSX

As a corporate user of both, side by side (thank you Barrier) I can tell you that it will be difficult for corporate IT departments to wrap their heads around a broad-based OSX-based deployment

Windows gives them the illusion of control through their master configuration abilities of Windows 10

1. Writing is FOR THE READER and your effort reflects this point.

2. This style is very effective across non-native languages and helps facilitate future communications by organizing back-and-forth discussions with topic numbers

3. Focused topics provide transition space in the reader's mind for internal language translation and context framing for improved comprehension. Each topic sits in its own compartment of the Bento Box for consumption and consideration

The LED components listed in the research aren't listed on the web site as available. In addition, DigiKey no longer appears to carry the product line...

How am I gonna build short duration dosing unit for my shower without access to these parts.

For the purposes of getting this into the public domain...

I propose a small, waterproof, battery powered device that mounts to the shower wall which directs UVB radiation at 293 uM wavelength at the midsection of the user for a timed duration when activated by the presence of water

Activation is delayed once water is detected to ensure the user is actually in the shower. The time duration is limited to ensure nobody gets cooked like Ron Popeil rotisserie.

Everything is open source because everyone needs this

Where is the line between your right to repair and Caterpillar's rights to the intellectual property embedded in the various controllers on board the equipment?

When does this become an issue when you and Caterpillar have regulatory obligations for the operations of that equipment with regard to emissions, OSHA, MSHA, etc... ?

I am sincerely interested in understanding the reasonable expectations between anything we purchase (hardware, equipment, cars) and the IP we license that provides the functionality we expect from those devices.

If the license were to say up front, before purchasing, "You are purchasing this hardware and receiving a license to use the embedded IP in perpetuity. If you screw around with the IP, all functions will stop working as expected and YOU personally take responsibility for the hardware from that point forward."

Would that address your concerns about, "Right to Repair?"

It's a start, because it clearly articulates the relationship between you and the the hardware you purchased, however, I suspect you also want more information so that you can take any reasonable maintenance actions necessary for the life of that hardware without relying on the manufacturer

But that is speculation on my part

I want a clearer understanding of where you would draw the lines and what you really want from a modern, culturally significant, "right to repair" policy.

I want Picasa + Web Gallery

I miss the excellent facial tagging that Picasa offered and none of these solutions offers any facial tags.

This man had a huge impact on my outlook to life as a youth and helped create a framework for me to disassemble difficult issues in the world around me. Picking through arguments and finding the absurdities is an artform, turning them into compositions is pure genius. I learned that scary things could, and should be defanged, dried and hung for public display rather than feared in the shadows.

I love you Tom, I always have. This move is one more song, one more satirical poke at the music industrial complex

Because fools are so ingenious

Proud purchaser of the app - love it.

I'm 53 and still laugh at fart jokes, let the dog lick my face, and wear shirts with collars as "office camouflage" only when necessary. I am way ahead of you on the timeline and will let you know when it's time to grow up.

Media publishing is about having a target market and not worrying about the segments you don't hit. Late night comedians don't worry about not having Rush Limbaugh listeners in their demographic and vice versa.

As you rightly say, your blog posts are part therapy and part knowledge transfer. That doesn't mean the "technical publishing" meta-tag doesn't also reasonably apply and brings a segment of readers with certain expectations.

I really appreciate that you opened the curtain a bit on their concerns and your disdain for them.

They aren't your customers and never will be

Saddle up the unicorn and keep riding

The old guys want us back in the office as well. The party is over. It's a shame. I am getting so much more done at home. I can't believe I have to go back to that hell hole. There's no way I can replicate my home office setup. I think I am going to glue my headphones to my head claim it as an ADA accommodation...

And I want a drinking fountain that shoots out Johnny Walker blue...

Excellent, thank you.

In other words, it's more difficult to be precise about the resistance increments. With weights, you know exactly how much you added and how you are manipulating them. With bands, you have infinite variation, but less control over it. You can combine them in steps, but they are very big steps. This makes a lot of sense

What is the community experience with resistance bands? I see them more frequently now and wonder if they aren't a reasonable alternative

OMFG that was hilarious and a brilliant viral promotion campaign for a crappy online storage company.

The market decides if this new interface exceeds the expectations of users. This is how unregulated capitalism works. Someone with a unique perspective identifies a potential opportunity for competition in the UX space for HN and creates something better. If their understanding of the marketplace needs is more accurate, and their solution better solves those issues, then users move to that interface.

IMHO, I don't think this is the case for HN users, but the the new layout would improve advertising accessibility for future revenue opportunities if someone was so inclined. However, I suspect the integration of graphical elements and advertising would NOT meet HN user needs having well established that HN users eschew exactly these elements of traditional web media.

But I don't get to decide, the market does. I get to watch, and tug at my beard and wonder at the results over time.

I can't imagine 6 tonnes of charred pine needles dumped in the Ganges effectively lasts more than a day for the purposes of heavy metal absorption. The math is beyond me, but it doesn't seem overly difficult. Especially when you consider that the needles don't show up all at once. They fall from the sky one at a time. After the first harvest, little Jimmy will be wandering through the once-lush, and now barren pine wasteland individually picking up pine needles with an eyebrow tweezer. It's interesting, but probably only "three legged dog" interesting.

HN is the new /.
