This was just an idle conversation we were having at work. Imagine that one day you wake up and you've been sent back in time, where you are now a researcher at DARPA in the early 1960s. You've got the influence to effect fundamental changes in the next sixty years of the Internet's history, and can make your changes any time in the next sixty years - but you know that as soon as you change one thing in history, you'll be sent back to 2021, to continue living in the world you have wrought. How are you going to make the Internet better?

Ask HN: Any US companies who offer less than 40 hour weeks
18 by mooreds | 9 comments on Hacker News.
This came up on a slack of which I'm a member. I've heard of some companies here and there who have less than 40 hour weeks for their entire staff (googling for them reveals a few). And I know individuals who have been at a company who have done it for a short time or a while. But is there a list of US based companies that offer a 4 day work week or less? I did some googling and didn't find much.

Looks like they mined my Gmail account and got the e-mail. From a damage control perspective (obviously I want this info known to nobody but me and my healthcare provider), what can/should I do? Are LinkedIn's affiliates looking at this data? Who are they sharing it with? I'm hoping to publicize this enough that someone at LinkedIn takes notice.

New best story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Feeling guilty for doing the bare minimum at work
Ask HN: Feeling guilty for doing the bare minimum at work
509 by awaythrown1 | 363 comments on Hacker News.
For as long as I've been working professionally, I have been slacking around a lot of the time, reading blog posts, HN, often even reading (tech, biz-related) books and just doing the bare minimum for appearances sake but no one seems to notice. In the office I book a booth to work in to have some peace & quiet and have a couple of code commits prepared to not arouse suspicion. In companies with perf reviews I get some useful feedback here and there but most of the time it's positive, people love to work with me, I do get stuff done if I have to, but as soon as I can get away with doing close to nothing, I'll take the chance. I don't think I'm blocking other teams and I don't think I'm preventing my own team from having accomplishments and often people refer to me as being either partially or mostly responsible for shipping something because I manage to have a clear mind and focus when things get close to a deadline. If I am motivated and the task/project/product is fun I throw myself into it but that isn't sustainable. I've read a few of these posts from people at FAANG doing almost the same so I don't really feel bad about it. I'm just wondering how wide-spread this is. One of my theories for this behavior is that this is related to 40+ hour work weeks. I think I'd be able to get my devopsy work done in ~3 hours/day if I manage my time well and schedule most meetings on Mondays.

Ask HN: I was hit with a patent troll lawsuit, how do I deal with it?
488 by jblake | 193 comments on Hacker News.
This particular patent troll has filed lawsuits with at least a dozen of my competitors in the past year. Some were voluntarily dismissed, some ongoing, rest unknown (based on my limited research skills). The patent in question involves downloading a remote database to a mobile device used as a lookup table when scanning a QR code. Yeah... I'm a one person company and have no idea what to do.
