letsgo39··on Investors sue Treasury Department for blacklisting crypto platform Tornado Cash
I just want to say, I find it very Orwellian that HN shuts down immediately any conversation about theft of IP through these 'archive.ph' links, and even removes the 'reply' button to ensure so.

Just watch how quickly this comment will disappear or get downvoted.

also maneuverability. If another SUV from the opposite side of the road gets in your lane, good luck avoiding it with a fast reaction.

Your own weight has to decelerate to a stop, and the force it takes for your head to go 60 to 0 doesn't change based on what's around you. What does change its that a heavy car may resist the obstacle more -> longer distance until stop -> longer time to stop -> your head has more time to stop -> lower deceleration force on your head.

because you would have some consideration for other people. But hey, there's no law that says you have to care so you can keep thinking the way you're thinking.

letsgo39··on Amazon CEO says company will slow hiring rate, no hard return to office planned
that's absolutely your right. But don't try to force what works for on everyone, or confuse your desire for what the market overall will do.

There will be plenty of remote work but the articles about death of in office are exaggerated. In a recent informal poll of a top VC startup CEOs (via a private mailing list) many were bragging about how they went back to the office and the benefits they are seeing as a result. However, this is an unpopular opinion you won't see on twitter.

Finally, if someone can hire you in the middle of nowhere they can also hire folks in South America which is a huge engineering demographic and currently underpaid. Same timezone. They can also more easily hire people in different timezones like India or Eastern Europe. Because of that, I do expect over time salaries of in person to diverge from salaries of remote work.

Remote work may still be a great value prop for people like you, but as I said don't pretend everyone is moving to remote work or expect the same benefits as those living in major urban hubs and showing up for work in person.

You should be able to see the 'real' increase from death rates, assuming the cause of death is correctly identified as cancer pre or post mortem.
