Funny, because this particular article seems to argue the opposite. Two places in particular stand out to me where the article raised the specter of automation and outsourcing to scare people away from engineering-type jobs:
>Meanwhile, well-paying white-collar jobs such as computer programming have become vulnerable to outsourcing to foreign countries.

and

>But he offers this advice: "Don't train yourself or your children [in work] that a computer can do or a smart kid in China or India can do. Because that's ferocious competition."

Why the gloom and doom over science/engineering/math fields, when it's those fields that other articles have pointed to as the few with strong job prospects? There is some serious inconsistency between this article and other articles that have been posted around here lately, and the general tone leads me to believe this was a last minute fluff piece put together by someone who wasn't really paying very close attention.
It can take 5 minutes to explain a recommended solution to some technical problem.

But it can take anywhere from 5 hours to 5 weeks or even 5+ years (depending on the thing in question) to reach the point where you would know which solution to recommend and with confidence.

That differential is what should, in part, drive higher pay rates. In addition to the impact of the scarcity of raw talent, independent of education and experience levels.
Warren is obviously free to do whatever he wants with his money, I mean, he is the billionaire and I'm just some schmuck. But I think his money is already going a great service for the world - ie it is staying in the hands of lots of corporations who employ lots and lots of people making products that lots and lots of people use and depend on. The capital in his corporations consistently grow, if you throw the money at a charity the capital essentially disappears after a one time use.

It seems to take some cues from another game, the name of which I forget, where you could shoot different colored paint on surfaces to make them behave differently.

"We need fewer drifting straws on the stream of American business, and more discontented thinkers who listen thoughtfully to both sides of our national debates."

Both sides? How narrow-minded.
You know what is bad ui though, have an image of a ui element and make it a hyper link so that when you click on it you are taken away from the page you are reading to a page containing only the image.

All that was mentioned by people here is important, but the most important when you`re working from home, it`s to schedule work perfectly. If you`re wouldn`t have scheduled work would be never-ending.
It's definitely true that lower-income people spend a higher percentage of their income on groceries.

But it's also true that the % of income spent on groceries on average has been dropping over time.

Groceries may have made more sense as a metric when the CPI was invented than they do now.

"Between 1960 and 1998, the average share of disposable personal income spent on total food by Americans, on average, fell from 17.0 to 10.1 percent"

Have you tried microsoft access?
It’s a mindset change. With htmx you should start with the entire body updating and then scale down to achieve the ux you want, rather than thinking in terms of individual components updating. The htmx merge algorithm is pretty good and you often don’t need to target small parts of the ui.
I encountered exactly this when my brother went to film school. The students would rotate roles and it was his turn to be the producer. One day I came home from work and he was having problems with his Excel-based budget sheet. I noticed that his row of sums at the bottom of one sheet had hard-coded values rather than formulas. Thinking he had inadvertently pasted over them, I told him, "Look, you killed your formulas." "What are formulas?", he asked. Turns out that he had been tallying up the columns with a calculator and then typing those totals into Excel.

How does math software such as Mathematica solve integrals?
I totally agree, all those things have had a tremendous impact. Part of my family is in another country and I haven't been able to see them, but technology helps us keep in touch.

My first job had a coworker who didn't know how to sort the spreadsheet. She printed it out and cut it into strips, then sorted them while watching TV at home in the evening, then taped it back together. I was shocked and in the decade or so after that I have yet to run into anything like that again.

Very interesting from an actor. Real issue.
Apple will likely launch Armv9 CPUs (iDevice A16 and MacBook M2) this year. If they don't enable CCA and memory tagging, then we have to wait for Armv9 support in QEMU and a future Qualcomm SoC, https://www.anandtech.com/show/16584/arm-announces-armv9-arc...

> CCA introduces a new concept of dynamically created “realms”, which can be viewed as secured containerised execution environments that are completely opaque to the OS or hypervisor. The hypervisor would still exist, but be solely responsible for scheduling and resource allocation. The realms instead, would be managed by a new entity called the “realm manager”, which is supposed to be a new piece of code roughly 1/10th the size of a hypervisor.

> Applications within a realm would be able to “attest” a realm manager in order to determine that it can be trusted, which isn’t possible with say a traditional hypervisor. Arm didn’t go into more depth of what exactly creates this separation between the realms and the non-secure world of the OS and hypervisors, but it did sound like hardware backed address spaces which cannot interact with each other.
No heat seems bad, but I'd bet SROs with shared bathrooms would be extremely popular in NYC if they were legal.

The Ever Forward has been removed intact from the mud bank in the Chesapeake Bay. Donjon-Smit Salvage has been removing containers with big cranes for the last week. There's also been dredging. So, 500 containers lighter, and with less mud, this morning, the Ever Forward was pulled out of the mud using several large tugs and its own engines.

The ship is currently anchored in the Chesapeake Bay.[1] Next step, hull examination and repairs, then docking and unloading.

That's what you pay the big salvage companies for - slow, successful jobs.

Cash should be seen as medium of exchange rather than store of value. If you saved for a bike, the bike was probably worth much more to you than a picogram of gold. Even if you ended up forgetting about your penny jar and finding it in the attic as an adult, the act of saving itself gave your valuable lessons about planning and delayed gratification.

On the other hand, if you made even a conservative investment like a thin silver chain or a popular book with author autograph, I bet you will get more than your money's worth for that today. If you bought a share of Apple stock - woah, but I guess we couldn't have all known back then.

As adults, yeah we should know better than to keep our wealth essentially in the pockets of politicians. Invest in something that will be useful to your or someone else even many years later, or profit-generating businesses. But there is nothing wrong with children play-learning a simplified version of life rather than immediately having to know the difference between mutual funds and ETFs.

I had two, mind you two, programming classes in high school in 1966-7. We wrote FORTRAN code and ran it on the high school’s 1130, with 32k of 32-bit RAM. Stuyvesant. Cold War and the space race environment.

Hopefully that level of interest and funding is returning. When the Chinese walk on the moon, that will be a wake-up.
I hear you and there might be different models that can work for different teams.

And I will note that the greater Bay Area just got a lot bigger if its only once a week.
Interesting rule of thumb! Maybe the authors responsible for that ton of peer-reviewed literature I've just been browsing through - with 'toxins' in the title, should take note.
Wow, does someone know if I can wipe the hard drive, install linux on it (Arch or Debian) and use it for light development (Python with Emacs)?
This is relatively common in the UK. Online grocery shopping is very much mainstream. All of the major supermarkets offer it, plus Ocado which is online only (and the best).
Thank you for comments and insight everyone.

I have one more question. If we were to pivot and open up the platform to all users, do you think we should sell the software to everyone from the start? Or should we offer it for free?

I know Zaroth suggested $99/mth corporate account. And I think that's probably a good idea.

It's not a matter of absolute level of safety (is it more or less sage), it's a matter of cost/benefit. And a matter of diminishing returns.

Yes, it sucks that 6 kids per year still die in a tragic manner. Horrific for the family. But the article is pointing out that busses are already much safer than more common forms of transporting.

So the issue isn't one of more safety, less safety. If we could afford every convenience, then more safety would be better. But you cannot take safety in isolation without consider other factors, such as cost, rate of accidents, etc.
I tend to agree. It's a tad hard to see how personal privacy concerns require redaction of 75% of the material, unless the people chatting are romantically involved. If that is the case, then I officially withdraw my objections. :)
The books that you're describing are about the only ones I actually buy in paper format anymore. I read a lot on my Kindle, but I still need paper tech books to flip around in and use as reference.
>I don't understand how anyone can believe it's safer to be unrestrained and free to bounce around the cabin in a crash.

Did you read the article? That is the point; most people share your view.

Buses are safer because the tightly packet seats act like little pods of foam, like little safety bubbles. If the bus hits something, it's 4 inches of foam that the kid is going to hit...basic physics, f=ma, a=v/t...the foam increases the time it takes the moving body to slow to a stop, and spreads the force over a longer period of time. Since it would be instantaneous, not aggregate (I'm making both of those terms up, no idea what you would actually call this) force that you care about, a longer time at a lower force == a safer collision.

Think about it like this: you have two buckets, one of them is called "child" and the other called "seat". These two buckets contain a liquid called "momentum". If the bus hits a brick wall, all of the momentum from the child is going to get transferred into the "seat" bucket. The interstitial bucket you use to transfer this liquid is called "force".

The foam seat means that you're using a little tiny thimble to transfer the momentum from the child to the seat...it takes a long time, and it isn't very big...it's "gradual".

It's counter-intuitive, but that is one of the reasons that buses are safe.
That is even better! Because that creates incentives to continue supporting it.

In the last several years I've spoken to libertarians, conservatives, progressives, various schools of economics etc. It's become clear to me that when platforms are free, more wealth is created. When Netscape open sourced their codebase, we got Firefox and WebKit. Linux, Webkit, WikiWikiWeb, Git, in fact all those image formats you can display without paying royalties or risking getting sued, obviously led to more wealth creation than proprietary siloed codebases. Eventually even MS opensourced their platform, after years of copying by Mono.

> cheap reliable Androids

They exist ? Low cost Android devices are absolutely nasty. They are buggy, extremely prone to viruses/malware, complex with terrible build quality.

There is always a market for simple, focused devices that "just work".
The most interesting thing to me was the bit about dedicated road hardware(!). That just sounds so awesome. I imagine someone inveting that or implementing it.

I used to have a ZX Spectrum clone and still remember liking Chase HQ racing game. This was late '80s, on a 3MHz, 48K machine and they had road barriers and tumbleweeds that you'd bump and they'd bounce off. It was a stupid detail but it really stuck with me as it being a fancy feature.

Here is someone playing it:

AFAIK Chromecast uses DLNA underneath (which is mostly RTSP + mDNS discovery?).
Well, that's one perspective. There are a lot of people who believe that disclosure like what Google is practicing will ultimately increase the rate at which bugs are fixed and decrease the frequency of computers being compromised.
I seem to have more than one project going at once and assume I am doing something wrong - lack of focus or some such.

It's interesting to hear this - can you expand?
I don't think that's precisely right either. If I've understood the article correctly, she has three options here: sign up to the new agreement and continue receiving revenue from third party uploads that ContentID matches to her content, stop receiving third-party revenue and leave all third party videos up, or stop receiving the revenue and take all third party videos down.

I'm not sure this would even stop her from getting ad revenue from videos that she uploads herself (the article doesn't discuss this). ContentID accounts are about getting revenue from things other people upload that include your content.
And the funny part of it all is that most times the job being interviewed for is simply maintaining/building a web or mobile app for which the candidate will never in the history of their entire career need to think about solving any problem even remotely close to this one. Just end up hiring lots of "experts" capable of creating complex solutions for simple problems.

> In the summertime Whittier is bustling. Seasonal workers come for jobs on fishing boats, charter boats, or in the cannery, and cruise ships bring hundreds of thousands of tourists to the harbor. But thriving harbor industries—freight, fishing, tourism—don’t seem to translate into growth for the city. Over 700,000 people visit Whittier annually, but most tourists don’t stay in town for longer than an afternoon, if that. Instead they go directly from the cruise ship to a train that takes them to Anchorage. Residents sell food and crafts to visitors, but most of the tourists’ money goes straight out the tunnel. The Alaska Railroad Corporation is the majority landowner in Whittier, but it doesn’t pay property taxes, and it employs few residents. A supply barge comes into town once a week, but most of the workers who unload the freight commute from Anchorage. Not everyone who tries to live in Begich Towers can take it—a newcomer from Florida compared it to jail—and there simply isn’t much space on which to build alternate housing

I'm seeing this same exact issue on my MBPr13. Occasionally I'll wake the laptop and it will show gray garbage on the screen, so I'm suspecting some kind of video issue / interaction with scrolling in Safari. It really got bad with the 10.10.2 beta, so I'm hoping they fix it with a point release.
It seems the tourists mostly disembark and take the train to Anchorage[1]. Though I suppose out of 700000 that visit every year even if 5% make purchases it might sustain the population along with the grant they get from the Alaska government.

The late Dr. Randy Pausch, of Last Lecture fame, said that his rule was to archive all emails, no exceptions. [1] IIRC it was because he figured that if everyone saved all their emails, it would would provide future historians with a treasure trove of contemporaneous research material.

From a legal perspective, purging emails can lead to accusations of "spoliation of evidence," [2] which in some circumstances can lead to the judge instructing the jury that the jurors can presume that what you destroyed was harmful to your case. You can argue that you didn't purge any relevant emails, but that becomes a he-said/she-said issue.

[1] I believe it was in his Last Lecture at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo, but it might have been his time-management lecture at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blaK_tB_KQA

Consider the following:

> Imagine a government agency with only two tasks: (1) building statues of Benedict Arnold and (2) providing life-saving medications to children. If this agency’s budget were cut, what would it do? It would cut back on the medications for children. Why? Because that would most likely get the budget cuts restored. If they cut back on building statues of Benedict Arnold, people might ask why they were building statues of Benedict Arnold in the first place.” [0]

By fixing the problem by allowing more housing, the politician would be able to extract less resources and power from the population. Never let a crisis go to waste. Or perhaps I'm being overly cynical in characterizing the political process.

So then are you willing to give it up in the wireless space? Because there appears to be plenty of competition there.
Wasn't it the problem for some areas where Google Fiber was proposed too? They removed some bureaucracy from the way. Why can't NYC do the same?
But then there are family crypts with 4, 6, 8, 12 bodies interred pulling the average down. Not to mention the number of people who have been interred and then the cemetary later moved because it was on land deemed desirable to the developer (and of course a standard trope of many horror movies). So I doubt the dead could "crowd out" the living but they could certainly end up stacked in a cave somewhere far away from their original burial.

Where did “white” come into it? I can see how such a system would benefit the rich, but would it benefit a rich white more than a rich black? No. Why are you bringing race into it?
Honestly, a self driving car race would be more interesting to me, especially if there are no rules (except maybe a budget cap).
Historically the tradeoff between government jobs and private sector jobs is that the government jobs pay less, but have more security. Depends on what you want out of life.
On such a pleasant Saturday I hate to nitpick, but I do have some feedback:

I think you should take a critical look at the front page and see what it is communicating. My personal take: I have no idea. A modern ticketing system... like TicketMaster? Train tickets? Is this an API that interfaces with venues? After my developer instincts kicked in I thought maybe a bug-tracking system. The page needs to be specific about what type of ticketing and who will want to use it.

Ah, in the Windows Fact Sheet I found this: "NodePoint is a ticket management platform based on the Bootstrap framework. It is meant to be simple to setup and use, yet still offers many features such as user management, access levels, commenting, release tracking, email notifications and a JSON API."

THAT's what should be on the front page, although "ticket management" still is vague, and referring to Bootstrap seems irrelevant to me personally - that's a developer detail.

----

The "Changes and Improvements" is way more visible than any further information, which is way down in the footer. The "Sales" link is just an email link. What type of enquiries are you expecting? What is there to sell, if it is free? You might have two audiences: small businesses and developers. You may need to totally separate the messaging so they each can see what would interest them.

And finally, the demo requires me to register which isn't going to happen when I know so little. What if you just generate a random login and auto-login the visitor?

So look, I personally think the page could use some rethink for clarity of target audience. Then I might investigate a bit more.
In Australia, there is a minimum 1-year warranty, which is extended 'a reasonable amount' if the product is sold as a quality item (ie: 'put your money where your mouth is').

It was funny watching Apple a while back market its products to consumers as a quality item, but tell the government that it was 'just another computer', because they didn't want to honour their warranties past 1 year.
I think you need a couple of activity (comment for example) on your account before you can upvote.
Wow, I didn't expect this to appear on nytimes or HN. This is kind of a big deal in Spain, but I didn't know he was that well known in the US. Anyway he was widely considered one of the best Spanish guitar players ever, so it's understandable. He played a lot along with Camarón de la Isla (or just Camarón), one of the pioneers of flamenco-fusión.
The funny part to me is that people think this is new. Companies like Euclid have literally been doing this for a couple of years(and quite successfully I might add) http://euclidanalytics.com/

Not only is it not new, its probably not going away.

I think this is great! I am going to use this to create a debugging version of my Mac app, for the times when I am at a loss for what is going on, I can have the user install this version and then give me their IP address and I can have a better way of seeing whats up. Thanks for sharing!
