> Fascism rose in Spain, and Italy, and was defeated.

Someone forgot about the 40-year long fascist dictatorship Spain was under

996 can only be celebrated in a deeply rotted culture without worker rights and labor protections. Embarrasing.

This article is akin to pondering if people should cook their own meth because the dealer they used to have is now selling adulterated stuff that's less powerful.

This is literally an ad.

You don't need ordering guarantees for diffs: apply them out of order and the final result should be the same (that's one of the key properties of CRDTs).

So why do you need timestamps? Or, why do you even need a third party server to run HME to begin with? Why not just encrypt the data and let the client figure it out?

> Other big constraints are: marriage, religion, and choosing to go the VC vs. bootstrapped route in a SaaS business.

This gave me a chuckle. On of these is definitely _not_ like the others.

Which one do you have in mind? For each of those three constraints mentioned, I can think of a reason why it's not like the other two, but there's not one in particular that seems to stick out especially.

Marriage is the odd one out.

VC/SaaS is surprisingly like religion!

Could you say that taking money from a VC is like marrying them?

> If you were offered 7-figures USD to do these kind of hours from anywhere in the world, would that make a difference?

Depends, if your work schedule leaves you so drained that it leads to extreme burnout and eventual depression, along with a string of health issues, then it doesn't matter how much money you make, because spending it won't bring you the joy back, and you may fall into a shopping addiction in order to keep you stimulated. Sometimes I think of telling my boss that I don't want a raise, I want less hours at the same rate.

tell em! i feel a lot of folks feel obligated to burning themselves out to justify their newly gotten raise.. then they get burned out and are functionless at work - or worse, making constant mistakes.

removing artificial stress from the workplace can be very powerful; valuing employees wellbeing crucial (but it involves caring, paying people, and a healthy work-life balance) - to me this means less work hours and keeping the pay consistent, plus removal of commutes (especially if the job is computer related enabling somebody to click buttons on a website so the end-user never has to leave their home couch).

happier healthier employees means they can focus more and care about what theyre doing.... otherwise, be a zombie i guess

the issue is many companies don't value people who "work less"

Jornada partida doesn't tend to apply to office workers and white collar work in general. It's common to see it in small shops, but it's in steep decline even in those areas.
