The point was about NYC in particular, so US-wide statistics are not particularly relevant. And the original point was also about highly skilled workers without children. Your article is a study about 1 year after graduation (from undergrad).
On the garbage bin?
Yep! Feel free to star / look around on GitHub. http://github.com/amizra/bubbles
This reminds me of the speech Peter Thiel gave about how MBA flocking to a sector is a good early bubble indicator. The reason is that MBA don't give a crap about an industry until it is at peak. Then shortly the bubble almost certainly bursts . Examples he mentioned, junk bonds, dot com, subprime and now startups...
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't feel like you provide enough sample content to convince me that this is worth paying money for.

What does this book say that hasn't already been said by various mainstream self help authors, Steve Pavlina, people in the human potential movement, etc. ?
"But the best way for hotels to deal with rogue networks is to inform law enforcement agencies and help them apprehend criminals who are trying to steal information."

That's an absurd point to make. One does not even need to run a rouge access point - much traffic is in the clear, and many MitM attacks can be pulled off just using injection. Even if someone were running a rouge access point, it's pretty difficult to track down an exact location (not very hard to figure out what room it's in though) in a crowd without direction finding gear and special equipment.

They would get much more sympathy as far as security goes if they were only asking for the right to block rouge access points that have the same ESSID as their official ones.
no you are not the only one. Don't even get me started on binary space partitioning, don't these people even stop for a moment and think what the point is.
Yeah, thing is, as I explained towards the bottom of the post, it was this in combination with their failure mode that caused people to be able to steal all their money.

If they had a sane failure mode, this would never have been a problem, even if they completely fucked up their understanding of the Bitcoin protocol in incomprehensible ways, or if there was a bug in the Bitcoin protocol that nobody was aware of.
Floobits.
I'm curious if they are really going to block her channel completely, or if block just means she can't be part of ContentID anymore. Blocking it sounds pretty unreasonable, but "we won't help you monetize your videos if you're going to favour some other music service" seems like fairly reasonable terms to me.
And there goes four hours of my night to wikipedia
Hello hestipod.

I have been in your situation, and I have had certain privileges you do not have which helped me. So, I do not want to tell you: "just do XYZ and you'll be better". In fact, I agree with you that suicidal tendencies are not due to mental health issues; rather, they are due to deep societal injustices. Since I can't fix those, I can't truly help you. There is a reason why indigenous communities are particularly hard hit by suicide...

I am also not going to try and convince you to not go through with it. That would be selfish on my part. I don't want to have to deal with the hard truth that someone chose to stop existing because of the shittiness of this world.

I am however, going to ask you to reconsider what meditation is. I don't care about any of the religious crap around it, and I am also not going to reduce it to "sitting down and breathing deeply". "Meditation" must happen in every moment. I think about meditation as a sort of self-awareness which provides acceptance, and through acceptance, resilience.

I recommend reading Jon Kabat Zinn's "Where You Go, There You Are".

I had an allergic reaction to the idea of acceptance when I first came across it: things like "opium of the masses" came to mind. This is not that sort of acceptance. This is the sort of acceptance that provides internal stability when there is no source of external stability; it is the sort of acceptance that lets go of the disappointment and frustration, and then frees mental power to consider: "what now?". It's the acceptance that provides resilience which leads to improvements in social justice (and social justice starts with small, everyday victories: moments, individuals, and then society). Or the sort of acceptance that provides the freedom to explore things you would have been too scared to explore otherwise ("a person who has nothing to lose...").

In this vein, I think mathematics is an amazing way to spend time. Not only does it not deal with people, but it also helped me see a...largeness...to the world that I find hard to describe. I suggest starting from here: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hehner/FMSD/

In a sense, you're free. You're free of the "chains" of life. Breathe deep, not because you're meditating, but because you should relax: the chains of life no longer bind you. Let your mind roam now, as it is meant to roam. Build palaces of systematic ideas, which lead to results that are surprising and enjoyable. Explore the world around you: forget about space, but instead consider the amazing orchestra of chaos that is biology. How the hell does a cell work? Layers upon layers of beauty that is hidden because of the shit of our human world...

Or...pick something else to study that isn't what _this_ stranger cares about. Devote yourself to it. Do not let yourself be disappointed with the boring, care only about the exciting. Let the excitement of finding the amazing fuel your devotion.

Dare I say: "don't end the freedom you have earned by going through this pain early; use it, before you end it"?
Does anyone have a good DSL tool for diagrams showing services exposing ports and connecting to other services and ports? Maybe even showing hosts, docker containers, networks and firewalls?

This is something that I tend to draw a lot at work, but it's always ad hoc and doesn't follow any formal specification. I tried some tools but keep coming back to doing it my way in ASCII with asciiflow.com or Google Docs drawings.
Explain the mechanism. How do I know this organization made this much money and that the amount I'm being paid is fair in regards to their profits? How can this code track all the money the company is making? It's not like they're being paid with their tokens.

And for minority of projects where indeed they're expected to be paid using their own token, how do I know the company owners don't run away with all the money they raised? Because this is exactly what happened with 99.99% of ICOs created on Ethereum. Now, of course scams happen in the traditional financial system too, but not to the same extent, because there's an enforcement mechanism in place. So, following your example, what stops a YC company from declaring bankruptcy and spending all the money on things founders want for themselves? Well, an investigation may be launched: founders are known, they can be found, prosecuted and sentenced. With tokens issued online, where you may not even have a company registered or have a company registered in some obscure jurisdiction, there is very little incentive NOT to steal the money. And, once again, that's exactly what happened during the ICO craze, which Ethereum is directly responsible for. A lot of people lost a lot of money funding scammers - and nobody blinks an eye!

I don't argue that everything has to exist within the traditional financial system. On the contrary. But in order to provide real value and allow investors to have some level of certainty that at least their money won't be outright stolen, the solution MUST include an enforcement or incentive mechanism strong enough to deter scammers.
funny how his SSL certificate expired.
That paragraph in Wikipedia seems to me to subtly imply his parents' attempt at "reforming" him could be relevant here.
Bitcoin is just a way of funneling money from financial markets into energy production.

Since we will need way more energy to produce out carbon free all electric future and solar is cheapest way to get new energy already I believe that bitcoin will eventually lead to more investment in renewables.

And since bitcoin mining is variable load that can easily be adjusted to momentary demand for electricity I think it will solve the problem of storing energy from renewables. Why store energy if you can produce vastly more than is needed and use excess whenever available to mine bitcoin?
didn't load for me; you should throw up an example screenshot of what the score looks like. have you thought about making an embeddable score widget (similar to what ohloh has) that you could put on a blog?
It's kinda the opposite for me. About 75% of my communication is with my 20-30 close extended family members. It's done a great deal in keeping us together. Despite geographic distance, we can still have common inside jokes not too much unlike like old times when we lived in the same hood and met face to face.

Given how I use fb, if it is between my family and my friends, the friends lose out. I unfriended the friend, not my mom in this case.
I haven't been anywhere near New Orleans in ages, so I don't think that's the cause.
You acknowledged that she had called, but if 'different levels' is putting the blame on FB...well go ahead. She could have just ignored the image and thought to herself "oh that son of mine and his friends".

But she decided it was worth a phone call.

Just saying.
Yvain wrote about this on Less Wrong. He described a study that showed that people who had just done one good act were less likely to do another: http://lesswrong.com/lw/1d9/doing_your_good_deed_for_the_day...

"All those biases that lead people to give time and money and thought to causes that don't really merit them waste not only time and money, but an exhaustible supply of moral fiber"
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with the October deadline for Denton's bet with Rex Sorgatz http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2011/02/nick_denton_gawke...

(By October, Denton promises to pay $10 for every 1 million pageviews below 510 million, and Sorgatz has to pay $10 for every 1 million above 510 million.)

Also, a minor correction with this article:

Gawker backtracked rather quickly on the redesign, adding a button to switch the site back to a traditional blog format, which allows readers to scroll through post headlines and excerpts in reverse-chronological order. But by then it may have been too late.

AFAIK, this button has been available since the beginning of the redesign.
Interesting. Thanks for that.

I'm still puzzled about the nearly instantaneous and complete market penetration of php.
Facebook stopped growing around 2013. I think that trend is if anything dwindling. electric cars and rockets are niche- the big change there is the digitisation of work which makes cars obsolete.
No, you are not, because it is a SUGGESTED price. You can walk into a Wal-Mart, see a First Act guitar where the box clearly says "MSRP $99" and you'll see $129 on the actual shelf price tag below the item.
This is an awesome question. I hope someone has good strategies for you. Life should be spent doing the things you find worthwhile, and the fact is, not all of those things are monetizable.

Given how esteem- and success driven HN as a platform is... you might not get too many ideas since I suppose people want to maintain their "hireable" status.

Success and "loving your job" are more or less empty phrases unless you are actually a professional moving your field forward or learning a highly complex subject matter - or you own a stake in a company.

Beyond that you are toiling, and if you like your job, it's glorious toiling like gardening (pleasing, but not important, but you love it, so it's great) or terrible toiling for living that eats your soul.

I'm basically in a job that is quite important for my org, I get compliments for good job, but I hate most aspects of my daily work since the tech stack is complex and fugly. I probably _appear_ motivated but I'm just a neurotic who hates failing. If I didn't need to feed and house my family I would have moved to a lower paying position long ago that is intrinsically more motivating.

Success and "loving your job" have nothing in common in my experience.
I think slashdot is simply too old and younger millennials+zoomers went elsewhere.

I remember reading it as a teenager for news, but felt completely disconnected from the community and never even created an account. Jokes about Micro$oft from the 90s. My subjective impression was that the average age of users was about 40.

Similar fate awaits HN eventually. I don't see alpha gen coming here, the culture is going to feel too old - like mingling with their parents

This reminded me of the Opal incident: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941.

Regardless of the letter, I have a little story to add. I first heard of RMS back when I was living in an isolated land on this planet (there are only a few of them). A self-made hacker, which was to some extent my mentor told of his communications with him, since he was active in some GNU projects and RMS had assisted him with publishing his work. Not much, but it was a positive move in support of a young man in a remote place.
There is https://assembly.com/. It's not hackaton oriented but it connects people that want to build things.
The "business meeting" use case pictured doesn't make a lot of sense. The copy at the bottom says the stick itself is a computer, not a video receiver, so there'd have to be a keyboard/mouse/controller of some kind connected to it, and they'd have to get the slide deck onto it somehow, and open PowerPoint, and that just doesn't seem particularly useful. It's much easier to use some wireless display technology and cast it from a laptop, or plug in a cable.

What they say they're aiming for are simple, self-contained (display-only?) kiosks... which maybe could be useful, for some people. You could also use it as a media center. If it could magically transform a huge TV into a touch screen, on the other hand... that would be amazing.
I have seen so many people blame Amazon for not including Google Play, but this is really Google's decision. In order to use Google Play Services, you need to make all of Google's services default and unremovable. This was done specifically so companies like Amazon could not include it on devices meant to push competing services. Even though I use plenty of Google software, I am more than happy to see them have competition. They honestly do not have enough, and I am glad Amazon is working to offer an alternative to total Google control on Android. Android is fine now, but increasing centralization is not going to benefit anyone but Google. Acquiescing and becoming just another company pushing Google services would be a terrible move for Amazon.

I don't get it, why ad-blockers can't request a DNSBL managed by them to know if that CNAME is authorized or not?
Granted, it requires a bit more network request, but completely breaks the CNAME cloacking method.

I've got the same car and you're dead on.

I really wanted the automatic cruise control but the truth is it's a hassle in the city on the highway. I don't want to constantly adjust the distance between the car in front of me and my car as conditions change so I end up just managing it myself without cruise control or setting it 'classic' mode where it doesn't use the radar.

That said shortly after I bought the car I drove it across state and the automatic cruise control and lane keep were FANTASTIC. I know the lane keep seems kind of lazy but when you're driving across the plains with heavy cross winds it makes things SO much easier. Really a road trip feature.

The 'you must steer' alert is fun. I've discovered one or two places near my house where the street is straight enough (along with the alignment on my car) that it will briefly trigger some times. Note that it's ALWAYS active (unless you turn it off), it's not only in use when you're using the lane keep function.

EDIT:

Also, sadly, Honda doesn't have a full-stop automatic cruise control like some other brands. If the traffic gets too slow it will disengage and warn you that you're in control. It's never something you could use on a standard street, highway only.
Who knew iron pills broke vegan edge?
It seems pretty safe. Significantly safer than driving. That being said, I'm not taking it because I don't know if it'll have negative consequences to my health in the long term - something I'm pretty sure we don't have data for.
ux is seriously broken. i run my own instance and even i cant verify my encrypted sessions. Like i already have some three security codes that i have no idea when to use and verification of my own devices often randomly fails.

its just mess and i think it works properly maybe on main instance.

its nowhere near encryption on signal
It’s easy to restrict imports of that kind of wood.
You do by having the majority of the workforce doing so. No one said this would happen overnight
Think it's worth reading this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22593771) from a few days ago and in particular watching the whole Nanjing video. If it is accurate (or was accurate (because from other commenters the restrictions are loosening daily)), you can really get a sense of how extraordinary the Chinese efforts to combat this have been.

Nanjing is a city of 8M people so roughly the size of Wuhan. I came away from it thinking that the numbers coming out of China could very well be credible given how strict movement/social distancing/etc is/has been. Of course that is not Wuhan, which is why the stricter lockdown still going on in Wuhan would seem to make sense (but I can't vouch for the authenticity of any of this).
That's fair, I have to keep reminding myself that "the early aughts" are not less than 10 years ago.
this is just fascinating for me since I picked up The Stranger last week and am mesmerized by his writing style. The Plague is now next on my list. I don't want to compare him with others since he very much has a distinct & brilliant style (short crisp and far from pretentious - sentences are clear and appeal to uneducated riffraff like myself - think I have seen this also in Orwell and Hemingway). The feelings and emotions he raises in me are nevertheless similar to those I get when reading Kafka and Dostoevsky. Truly amazing being in this man's head. I only regret not having picked up his work sooner.

The average age was older, but the oldest age was younger. Very old people stop going on cruse ships as do people with significant heath issues. Aka the average 75 year old is in much worse heath than the average 75 year old on that cruse ship.

For the oldest populations you can look at the Washington nursing home which quickly had 10+% of the total population die, and that number is still going up. Again, an outlier but useful for calibrating projections.

Italy’s population is unusually old, and tend to be smokers both of which are already pushing them to the collapse of the healthcare system.

Edit: Those low numbers are for early in an exponential growth phase it takes 2 to 9 weeks after infection to die. The disease is easily detected long before then. Thus after South Korea vastly slowed their rate of infections their case : death ratio been increasing from 0.5% on March 1at to 1.2% on March 20th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_S.... It’s still low because most of their infections are in young people with 26.93% of their cases being in 20-29 year olds.
These meetings don't exist. Occasionally fraud and negligence happens, but not this casually. People running PayPal-sized companies are neither completely stupid not completely evil. A bit yes, but not this much.
HN should have been on the cutting edge of crypto, given its “hacker” supposed ethos, but a large group of no-coiners couldn’t understand it and have posted the same tired arguments ad nauseum for years.

There are a lot of people on HN who love and support crypto but the arguments are exhausting and you get nothing but downvotes. All of my friends and family I convinced to buy and hold have been texting me how I changed their lives. It’s just so sad to see what this website did to engineers who normally have open minds but were convinced to hate crypto.

Many Republicans chose not to run for re-election in 2018 and 2020. Perhaps those are the "former Republicans"?
the problem has been is the lobbying in Washington and even at state and city levels has become a friends and family thing and even a parking place for politicians who are down and out.

hence the amount of wealth that politicians, their family which usually means children, gain while they are in office is phenomenal and can lead to positions at state and city levels. the real one percent are these upper end politicians and bureaucrats who just operate with near impunity because its basically impossible to follow all the trails or because much of it has been made legal; usually by making laws that say one thing and do another.
"It's a place open to the public, so it is a public performance. "

No, that's not a rational inference.

Care to take a moment and search the case law for this?

Given that millions of people play music in public every day, can you find even a single instance of case law that supports the absurd claims in this thread?

No?

Nobody ever charged for listening to music themselves?

This comment really helps to highlight how badly HN melts down in the face of facts they don't like.

By your argument, playing music at the beach or at the office, even to yourself is a against the law.

It's a false argument based on a magical reading of the code.

It is 100% legal for someone to play music for themselves, full stop.

This is not one of those issues that IP lawyers just don't pursue because it's not worth it, rather, they don't pursue it because they cannot.

Just because you are 'in public' does not mean you are giving a public performance. Otherwise every radio everywhere would be banned, or come with a warning label.

If you are playing music in your store, for customers, you may be breaking IP law.

If you play it for a large number of employees, maybe.

If you play it as part of a performance intended for the public and have a public audience, then probably.

And of course, if you film someone listening to music - real or rehearsed (like a cop) - and put it up on YouTube you're probably breaking copyright. Maybe.

> When you compel others to do something, whatever it is that you've coerced them into doing cannot be a noble act. No good ultimately comes from that which is not freely chosen.

I couldn't care less about whether the ADA increases or decreases the number of "noble acts" that happen every day. I care about its actual effects on people's lives. And it has demonstrably done a lot of good for a lot of people, despite your assertion that such a thing is unthinkable.
> This has already happened in places like China (or, more organically, India) which until recently were effectively separate civilizations with strong cross-pollination, much as the regions within the EU have been.

China and India would be an unfortunate direction for the EU to evolve into imo - both increasingly monocultural with increasing levels of repression against minority groups.
