$20k p.a. is a low-end estimate for minimal cover and high deductible. Here are the actual plans from Oscar for NYC -> https://assets.ctfassets.net/plyq12u1bv8a/1ffUyjqSleteGxYkSq...
Likewise, for a single, min cost in 2020 will be $500/mo.

GP figures might exist in NY if it's a) a very low-income situation or b) a generous employer that covers most of the cost, and the employee's contribution is minimal. Neither applies to a typical self-employed family.
All of that may be true, but I think doesn't address the claims of the article.

The article says " Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ... said, “The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.” " That's unscientific claim by Cortez. I think the point that exaggeration undermines your credibility is an important fact.

I believe that those of us who push a cause so hard that we lose sight of facts actually hurt the cause, because we alienate all the objective-truth-seekers.
>we have the pleasure of reading an anti-renewable campaigner's entirely siloed views of the impact of climate change and an argument for how everything will be ok and all the scientists are wrong.

The author explicitly quotes scientists and says that climate change is a problem.
Yes. The 741 data sheet says "The amplifiers offer many features which make their application nearly foolproof: overload protection on the input and output, no latch-up when the common-mode range is exceeded,as well as freedom from oscillations." The newer TL07/TL08 series has 3x the bandwidth (to 3MHz) and can be trimmed to higher precision, but comes with more PC board layout restrictions on the data sheet. For solderless breadboard use, the lower-bandwidth part may be easier to deal with.

(I haven't played with op-amps in years. Back in the 1990s, I tried to build a LIDAR, but I needed more expensive RF-type test gear than I could afford.)
I don't see the connection, no. There are lots of cases of feedback in the real world, where the output becomes an input to predicting the next output. What do you mean by "the logic breaks"?

This is the very definition of wait-free including the case that some concurrent operations never complete.

»A wait-free implementation of a concurrent data object is one that guarantees that any process can complete any operation in a finite number of steps, regardless of the execution speeds of the other processes.« (Wait-Free Synchronization, Maurice Herlihy, 1991) [1]

As far as I can tell - I am definitely not an expert - there is no hard requirement that concurrent operations have to assist but it seems at least a common solution because undoing the partially completed work of other concurrent operations may have the consequence that they can not make progress and therefore the entire thing is no longer wait-free.

By the way, there is no requirement to explicitly kill the thread, you may as well just run out of stack space, the scheduler may decide to not assign a new time slice, cosmic rays may flip a bit in turn triggering a hardware exception because of an unknown instruction or just buggy or malicious code messing with the content of your address space. Every process can fail at any time.

Because America imports all the best brains from all over the world using the H1B program ?
The author doesn't implicitly state this, only that his neighbor also has it. You're still failing to understand that a $50 SOHO router has a cheap transceiver and getting to your neighbors guest network is far more latent and prone to dropped packets and errors due to the distance. Also the embedded transceiver in the cable modem is competing with a lot of local RF from the cable modem.

Again, he's not doubling his bandwidth based on the above and a whole host of other reasons beyond these.

For those who try I'd say post true bandwitdh and latency test comparisons using multiple sessions that are shown using both links. Its actually pretty funny to me, having been in network engineering for well over a decade, that people are so passionate that they're sticking it to Comcast and "doubling" bandwidth with nothing to back it up. But, whatever floats your boat.
I .. failed to understand their 'speed test'.

Unless my English is way worse than I thought they're saying that they managed to get 50 students to the top floor by paternoster in ~10 minutes, while the elevator .. managed to bring up 10 persons in the same time?

1) That building seems to have 18 floors. Not 200. What kind of elevator is that..? Is it even moving?

2) The camera shows the inside of the elevator when the comparison begins. I count 13 heads.

(in the video at 4:00)
"The paternoster got its 50 students to the 18th floor in 9 minutes, 20 seconds. In the same time the conventional lift only managed to transport 10 people to the top"

I like riding a paternoster. But this comparison seems a bit off. Or alternatively the elevator is really, really slow and happens to lose a couple of people on every ride..
The way it usually goes is "Well we're giving you a visa on top of the salary, y'know".

Source: I've heard that exact line before. The idea is that you're valuing the ability to stay in the US semi-permanently higher than you value $$$.

You also have to understand that the US market for software engineers is absolutely gutted. Companies are pretty much picking scraps because everyone worth a damn already has a job and isn't looking. The kind of people I've worked with who get a big-ass paycheck in the US just because of the colour of their passport is absolutely heart-wrenching.
I'm not saying that this is the only possibility but merely that we cannot exclude it.
You guys are fantastic. Thank you so much, you helped me a lot. This is why I love this community, so much help for newbie.

I'm still sifting throug the comments, so please be patient, I'm trying to answer to all of you. It might just take a while :)
Formula E's greatest strength is also its biggest weakness: the tracks they race on. The low noise levels make racing in city centers possible and brings a big crowd but the races are a bit boring.

In my opinion, the best race footage of Formula E is from their pre-race testing ("event simulation") where they ran a full field of cars at Donington Park, a traditional purpose-built race track with long sweeping curves and significant elevation changes.

There's something funny going on with the title of the other post - the chart in the link shows it jumping from 4000 to 16000 in April/May of 2020. So there hasn't been a sudden increase in the last month.

But I don't know what any of this means, so I'll let more knowledgeable others weigh in
NoScript also blocks those fucking "give us your email address!!!!!!!!" popups and other similar trash. It's a hassle to use, and it sucks that it's required, but that's the web we built.
I've only used Fiver, and only as a client. Absolutely amazing, for my passion video game project I've been more interested in the journey of getting my artwork made, and working on the video game then finishing it. Once I get all the custom models done, I might go ahead and shoot a trailer video but it's already been a blast.

One thing I would advise entrepreneurial people to do would it be to just hire people who know what they're doing for some stuff. For example if you want to build a website but you don't know how to design a ux, hop on Fiverr pay $200 for some UX mock-ups and go from there.
>The last ten years have seen a massive redistribution of wealth from this age bracket into older demographics.

This has very strongly increased during that year of pandemic. In my country a vast amount of money is spent on protecting old people that future generations will be liable for.
I see a 50 pin connector, so I would guess it's limited to SCSI-2, 5MBps/40Mbps. That seems to be right at the top of the range that you can bitbang GPIO reliably on an Rpi3 (50Mhz).

You're right in that the old rule was that bitbanging was limited to low bandwidth stuff in the past. The advent of cheap, high clock speed and small devices like the Rpi, ESP32, STM32Fx, etc, changed the game a lot. You can now bitbang VGA reliably on really cheap MCUs, for example.
Curious, who in your opinion has the "right" hands?
I'm overlooking the "teeth" part of this story to share a bit of an anecdote here. I'm a guy, and I lost my hair when I was about 21. I spent a while trying every medication (many of which have sexual health side effects), but I don't think I was ever actually happy until I just accepted that I was bald and that was just part of how I looked. Don't get me wrong — I would love having hair again, but it doesn't bother me that I don't.

If it helps anyone else out there: no one else thinks about your hair besides you. Getting rid of my anxiety around how my hair looked (checking it in the mirror all the time, using products to make it look less thin, etc) was absolutely worth giving up any illusion that my hair was going to stick around. Plus, it has made putting on sweaters so much easier, and I never have to worry about helmet hair.

If you're reading this post with a touch of anxiety about your hair, just know that it's gonna be fine and you probably look cool as hell (albeit a bit different) with a buzz cut.
One big difference is AROS only aims for essentially source compatibility with Amiga, while both ReactOS and Haiku aim for binary compatibility[0].

I've only toyed around a little bit with AROS back when I was a teen, but my impression is it's something a bit different than just a clone of any Amiga OS. It's sort of Amiga-like, but does things differently, and targets very different hardware. Which I think is pretty cool :)

[0] I believe Haiku intends to drop binary compat with BeOS at some point, maybe they already have? It's why Haiku still uses (used?) a version of GCC from 2003, for binary compat
Journalists were so desperate to take out Trump (and Republicans in general) that they torpedoed their own credibility.

4 years of non-stop "The world is ending" crises one right after another, with barely any time to realize that one amounted to nothing before the next one started has left people disillusioned. Add in the fact that when actual problems like Covid did occur, the press was slow to pick up on them. They wasted months mocking VC firms for not allowing handshakes instead of digging deeper into what they were talking about.

People will go listen to Elon Musk et al directly because they've learned that when they compare his actual words to journalists' interpretation of those words, they are completely different. If they stop lying people might start listening to them again.
Typo in the title; if -> of
Yes, they would. If Posterous users opted in to such a feature by installing some Tumblr code on their site, Posterous would not block it.
Michael's article makes sense to me. BTW, I am trying to do all of my work in just Clojure and Ruby - a nice choice, but some Java and Common Lisp work keeps coming up that prevents a clean break.
it is not the same.
apple is not the owner of apps you make, they only distribute it. Imagine the world where a news paper distributor(news-stand) would limit the type of ads you run on your newspaper.
I would ask the keywurl developer, but I'm sure he'd be fine if you went ahead and did it .. I am desperate for a keywurl extension here :P
As far as scientific/numeric computing goes, you would probably find that NumPy/SciPy perform better (assuming you can vectorize your algorithm).
Write a guest post about a topic of interest to that blog's readership that doesn't directly pitch you product. Then insert a shameless plug (and label it as such) at the end of the post.
Surely no boss would have a big enough ego to Google his own emails? Oh, hang on...
If Tumblr had an attractive analytics suite that users loved, I doubt Posterous would attempt to forbid its users from using it.

Apple placed a low-ball bid for for AdMob, when they got outbid, they figured they'd simply use their dominant market position instead of out-competing them. This sounds awfully like that other OS vendor that got in trouble for driving a lot of companies out of business by using their market dominance.
Well at least he did it in a good belief - even though I wouldn't trust everything that Voltaire wrote about...
We all knew this already.

Most of the content in The Atlantic is inane.
Yes, I immediately thought of what was it, the BingoDisk fiasco when I saw it was Joyent commenting on AWS' outage.
But the key word here is "you".
The whole system of a corporation owing only to its shareholders demands this "do stuff and see if you get sued" mentality. The Mozilla foundation, being a non-profit doesn't need to bully anyone into submission. But that's besides the point, as I think today whatever race there is to browser dominance is not driven by the notion that "win the war, win the market", but by a more sensible notion, and therefore I hesitate before I call the situation today a "Browser War".
That's not the CEO that's the board selecting the wrong person and creating the wrong compensation package. Just like a basketball player getting hurt after signing a huge contract.

EDIT: Look at PG's response above. same thing.
Scavenger hunts are set up as linked lists.
Not only that, but if reddit started carrying those ads appropriate to its demographic, it would face a massive revolt from its own users. Redditors get irrationally angry at reddit whenever an ad targeted at them so much as plays sound, let alone insults their self-image as high-brow intellectuals who “deserve” premium ads on par with the sponsors of Condé Nast’s other properties. (Pretty funny stuff, for a site that had to petition Google to hide “jailbait” and “nsfw” from its top eight sitelinks.) But yes, that’s the dilemma.
He must really hate ajax.

This may have been the hedge apple, which resembles the breadfruit but actually grows in temperate North America.
4.8 to 7.1% is quite a bit more significant than your initial claim of 2 to 3%

edit - also, how do you claim to have any kind of confidence in the accuracy of your own estimate, while simultaneously arguing that reaching any sort of accurate value is impossible?
Typos being run time errors is because of implicit declarations; it's not because of type systems. Implicit declarations are messy for others reasons too. See Python's 'nonlocal' keyword for an example.
I believe her technique is effective because it tries to combat hoarding using the same kind of emotional response that gets us to stockpile on stuff in the first place.

Others will suggest attacking the problem with logic: “Do you need this now? No? Get rid of it.” But stuffocation is as much a problem with our emotional attachment to things as it is to our evolutionary hardwiring. In my case I was finding it easier to find reasons not to keep something by doing what Mari suggests: take items into your hands and ask yourself if it actually brings you joy.
Submitting this because

i) The ASD / programmer overlap is there

ii) I'm not sure the overlap between programmer or founder and mental ill-health is any greater than the general population, but some on HN seem to think it is

iii) People in the US might be interested to see how UK government does this kind of consultation work

iv) Previous submissions about learning difficulties and mental illness have had useful discussion so I thought people may be intersted in this.
“Independent” agencies are not independent of the separation of powers. They are “independent” within the executive branch in that their leadership does not serve at the pleasure of the President, is allocated under law by a process designed to provide some viewpoint diversity despite being appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and their leadership can typically only be dismissed for cause, and their power is assigned by law not delegated from above them within the executive branch. They also tend to be delegated either or both quasi-judicial or quasi-legislatove powers by Congress (which also happens to non-independent agencies.)

> To say that there are agencies that are simply outside of that system... it seems to fly in the face of the basic things that kids learn in Elementary school.

In every field, the basic things that kids learn in elementary school tend to be incomplete or wrong, and government is definitely no exception, but independent agencies are not outside the system.

> I mean, it sounds as if they're claiming to be a Legislative Branch agency.

No, accountability to Congress is not exclusive to legislative branch agencies.
I found the first edition of StrengthsFinder very intriguing. It's the type of book that gives you a paradigm shift.
I'm not sure that the best solution, it's just a solution.

Even interesting people have spammy days where they most too much (like at a conference) or stuff that's uninteresting to you. Permanently unfollowing is not a good solution to that.
Freelance may be my best choice at the moment. I do however have to make sure I have a little more in the bank before I make the jump if I don't have a full time position lined up. Instead of killing myself with extra side-work raising my freelance rate may be in order just to have a little bit more of a cushion. If I didn't have a family to care for I wouldn't be as worried.

Thank you for your advice.
So Windows RT is dead ? I'd say good riddance, it was just too closed. I remember having a family friend buying one of those devices and trying to install Chrome on it. Well, no luck, WinRT's closed policies won't allow that (and it's not a technical issue.). But their store policies will still allow fake "Chrome" apps packaging an IE webview.
I read that. Can someone shed some light over the motivation of the attacks?
"Are you implying that private corporations are more motivated to take advantage of their employees for profit, rather than just trying to keep them happy and productive?"

I'd say yes, of course they are, apart from very few exceptions. Isn't the illegal wage-fixing move by Apple, Intel and Google a prime example of that?
I would love to see these types of metrics for other domains. I think any technical question about some distribution across the american population will produce results that contrast with reality, simply because people don't know how to reason about mathematical distributions or large numbers very well. This isn't to say that America does not have an issue with economic inequality, of course.
I'm a bit conflicted - I actually quite like both the skeuomorphism and the 3D transitions separately, but the two in combination doesn't really make much sense to me!
Let's say you have a business process, like if a shipping manifest goes through any one of the following 3 cities, then you need to file form XYZ, unless the shipper is one of the following official government agencies and they've filed forms ABC and DEF. That was the original requirement in 1980. It was documented, put in a series of binders, and placed on a shelf.

1982, Adds another port to the list of special port cities, but only if shipping goods of type JKL or MNO. That change was documented in an inter-office memo and filed away. Except the only time you have the type of goods information is in a different module - so even though it pertains to the original business process, it's in another module that prints the ship's manifest to (physically) mail it to the insurer.

1989, the original requirements binders are moved to a storage facility.

1992, The memo is also sent to an archive facility. Original manuals have been destroyed because the records retention policy is 10 years.

1994, There's a change in the law and an emergency fix was put in, and the comments were put into the source code.

1995, The source code with the comments is lost, so an older version of the source code is recovered with the just the code change.

And so on and so on

Until 2015. You have 5,000 to 10,000 lines of code that deal with the original requirement. They're split into multiple modules. They reside in a source code base of 5,000,000 lines of code. The people that use your software have a combination of the software + a whole bunch of unwritten rules like: "If it's this country, and this port, and this port of origin - PF10 to get to the override screen and approve the shipment. Add 'As per J. Randal' in the comments."
Indeed. I currently only have Chrome, Outlook, and Lync open and am using 4.2 GB of RAM. Over half of that is Chrome alone.

Now, granted, the OS does use more RAM has availability increases (I have 16 GB) however Chrome is a beast no matter what.
If Heroku actually does make the free tier unusable (12 hours a day availability), and if custom domains aren't free anymore... then Heroku, time to part ways, and no more referrals to others.

This is the reason I chose Heroku as my platform in the first place over competitors, and if my experience is common, it worked out well for them because I have paid for premium tiers on certain apps along the way, and spoke glowingly of them to others.

I'm also still a little bitter that I incurred financial loss on one app because one of their quiet upgrades bonked Ruby 2.1.1 support, causing a big delay in a critical production push. (But I'm more annoyed that this will be about $100/month cost for me to keep my lighter traffic personal apps on Heroku).
I think that this website is a very great idea...
I am a web developer, but I am also passionnate about career advices...
I can give a real sample to explain why I am so happy to talk about this new website.

I have a great network of web developpers, system administrators... living of North Africa...
Here in Paris, we need them, but it's not so easy to hire them...A website that focus only on companies that are ready to help you sponsoring visa is a really great idea.

In another way, On my linkedIn account, I often receive propostions from recruters (dubai, asia,...) or startups in other countries that are looking for webdeveloppers.
Now if I receive one, I'll forward them to techmeabroad...

Ben Younes Ousama.
I've long believed that the best way to interpret this part of the 4th Amendment is that people have a right to be free of scrutiny unless there's a reason to suspect something. If there's nobody with a legitimate belief that I'm doing something wrong, then nobody's got the right to poke into my business.

My interpretation yields a pretty simple rule; the path we've been following for some time yields lots of exceptions and subjective judgments.
The way one of them vaporized their reddit presence (from what I could tell from a few minutes looking at the time), they didn't feel very safe about the information they may have leaked.
That's precisely what GP originally said. Here he was clarifying that tax brackets themselves don't work this way, although government assistance can.
