Do you have an example where CH was more reasonable? I don't have enough experience here, so would greatly appreciate hearing what you'e seen. Thank you!
Good point - if it's just a cost-savings, it less awesome. Not knocking it, I mean you gotta do what you can. But I love the idea of carving out your own balance of work and life.
I was thinking it would be great for a company to incentivize a family nomadic trip (during a school break or something) to a timezone that might need better coverage for whatever the remote worker does. You know, here's extra funds to spend some time in APAC or EMEA for someone who specializes in a needed topic. Bring the family, make memories for a week. Would be a wonderful perk.
Like the meme of a cover where the Recycling and Trash holes drop into the same garbage bag, it seems the whole system does more to make people feel better than it does to increase reuse.
In America, reusable material has a 1 in 4 chance of even getting into the system, then it moves along a reuse maze to evetnaully be illegally dumped in India or elsewhere:
Why does it seem like we're just polishing the glassware in the Titanic's dining saloon? Making everything look clean when it's all going to end in disaster anyhow?
I own my place but only the floor. I'm in a 2-unit condo, so I don't own the roof per se. That means if the guy upstairs has a toilet overflow, I get the downstream effects (that happened; not fun).
I wish I had a standalone home (floor to roof and all in between) - especially in an area where the retrofits from the article were possible. I've been 11 years in my current place and now I _really_ know what to look for next time.
I suppose it's like anything: once you've spent enough time to see how small cracks will widen; enough time to know what gutter configurations will cause; where the architecture might collect rain and cause flooding; where rodents can find ingress -- once you're pretty battle-worn, a new house shines different.
My wife is looking at places and because I've run maintenance, we look at things quite differently.
I work for Timeplus, and just to mention for those asking how to use this? One real quick use case was mentioned on HN a few days back. Use Proton to view Hacker News API in any way you want. Why not try something like this with Flink? You could, but Flink's learning curve is sort of high and needs more setup. Proton you can get with a brew install command. A few minutes later ... and you've got HN sliced and diced any way you want. Now apply that to any live data stream - including crypto, stocks, etc.
