ct0··on Evertop: E-ink IBM XT clone with 100+ hours of battery life
There are a few commercial products popping up and marketing. I think youll find what you find here interesting: https://old.reddit.com/r/writerDeck/ Im using a Boox palma 2 on a stand, and a Thinkpad Keyboard 2 to emulate the same thing. The battery life may not be 100 hours but considerable.
ct0··on Putting Bounties on My Goals
How does this interact with Structured Procrastination? Im a huge fan and avid strut-castinator. This is an entirely different approach to accomplishing goals though, as I'm frugal and hate to waste money. https://www.structuredprocrastination.com/

ct0··on Show HN: I analyzed 1500+ job ads to find the most wanted skills by recruiters
In my experience, the parent category would be a Competency. With skills, tools, knowledge, and personal ability as children categories. Most HR analytics software breaks it out similarly.

ct0··on All federal agencies ordered to terminate remote work–ideally within 30 days
Pay for a study? It would likely only be possible to do these studies at a company level, where there is enough sample in the headcount. There are plenty of People Analytics teams that exist on large F500's that would tackle a project like this.

I havent seen any data that shows the people who RTO and "stay" are bad at their job. I think low preformers are going to get RIFed either way if they RTO or not. Those who RTO easily will generally be the employees who are already geographically close to the office, satisfied with their job, and see future career opportunities.

The good ones already have had the opportunity to leave all along, and if they are good enough, they may be able to set up a home based position. Maybe government roles do not need high performers at scale like the private sector does.

This will become a savings play in the long run. Forced RTO has generally been considered a headcount reduction approach, which checks out with new administrative direction. After RTO stabilizes, its likely the office assets will be optimized to minimize wasted office space.
ct0··on Always go to the funeral (2005)
We must have gone to the same funeral and had the same friend. I regret not speaking up either to share a story I think about often which highlighted my friends better qualities. Maybe I'll make a post about him after thinking about it for a few more years.
ct0··on Mysterious New Jersey drone sightings prompt call for 'state of emergency'
Common, "false flag" or deception tactic in military simulation. Leaving the lights on would be a good deception/psyop tactic. If these are adversaries, they are sure learning the rate of response by military forces.

ct0··on Cox slows Internet speeds in entire neighborhoods to punish any heavy users (2020)
They don't call it Cox for nothing, damn you got hosed on that one. I've always been careful with upsells as there's always a catch, or a Cox.
ct0··on Take a closer look at Starbucks CEO's contract, which covers his commute by jet
Many large companies (f50) have fleets of jets and salaried pilots. Its not uncommon at all for commuting by jet to be the standard. Not sure why this is such a big deal or any different than the thousands of c-suites that commute this way.
ct0··on Car dealerships revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider
Manufacturers want to offload the customer service as it's extremely expensive as well as limit liability. That's why dealers exist and will continue to exist.
