I don't think, I know it. I wake up in the morning (PDT timezone), and they have already produced and committed a massive amount of work, or tackled complex architectural design projects. On top of that, they stay pretty much active on Slack during my entire work day, until their local midnight/1am. By the time I go to sleep at midnight PDT, they are already committing code or following up in previous IM discussions (it's their ~7-8am). So, effectively they work twice my amount, and as I said they are very smart and motivated individuals, so they produce more than twice my amount.

If I were to start a company in the future, rest assured I would do 100% of the engineering hiring over there, after having seen their work ethics and productivity levels.

As an added bonus, they are really not in the mentality of profit sharing/equity compensation typically seen in the US, so you can get them with a cheap salary (think ~$50k/y), whereas a local senior engineer would cost you ~$250k + equity, and would demand a good work-life balance and probably resent you because your free lunch is not as good as FAANG's.
So if you’re curious, you’ll enjoy knowing road wear isn’t linear with weight — it’s exponentially proportional. Almost all road wear comes from large trucks and buses. So linear division doesn’t actually have relevance here. Buses are far, far worse than the equivalent number of cars in terms of road wear... but again, it's a non-issue because road wear isn't a main consideration.

The law does not distinguish between automatic or manual transmissions.

I am not sure about the cast/sling situation. But I imagine if it was considered a contributory factor in an accident, you would be culpable.

> It is a normal salary paid for the kind of job (cleaning) that usually has to rely on the black market or extremely temporary gigs.

Many cleaning workers are actually unionized, the SEIU is a large union of service workers with contracts for hospitals, large office complexes, prisons, schools, etc.
The VW EV record breaking pikes peak car was amazing. A friend was a marshall on the track and she told me no one was allowed to touch the car for an hour after the run until they had grounded the static successfully.
My feeling is this announcement is largely pr since VW aren't a force in motor racing and that EV's are really only good at drag racing up to 140 mph and hill climb. The high stresses of racing exhaust batteries within a few laps. Perhaps some racing R&D will help solve this major EV issue.
I'm not even a train enthusiast, but that is a gorgeous machine, the diesel being far superior notwithstanding.
I guess in practice it doesn't really matter much anyway because while my serial doesn't specifically follow the format described in the link it'd still be utterly trivial to brute force. So that they leak the whole thing onto LAN anyway just turns it into even more of a joke, but I guess would rarely make a real difference. Some of the HN crowd have security monitoring on their own networks that would detect suspicious hammering patterns, have more device isolation, etc, but I strongly suspect the vast, vast majority of PW installs are pure ISP default setting CPE environments. Using crummy default password routers full of their own holes too!
Upfront they say:

"It should be noted that Kinvolk has ongoing cooperation with both Ampere Computing and Packet, and used all infrastructure used in our benchmarking free of charge. Ampere Computing furthermore sponsored the development of the control plane automation used to issue benchmark runs, and to collect resulting data points, and to produce charts."

I'm not saying anything was intentionally done, but optimizations were likely done on the Ampere side.
The proposed new rules might mean an over 50% cut in revenue to a channel possibly driving the smaller players out. Very interesting side effects of regulations.
Individuals are not using copart to find parts in any significant number.

Copart is the defacto standard for most every mechanics shop and body shop in the country. When a car is being repaired, they can generally lookup available parts and prices using whatever software they use for generating quotes. They can choose from new oem parts, aftermarket parts, or salvage parts. The salvage parts will come from Copart's network.

In other words, when you get you gender bender repaired, there is a good chance that you insurance company is requiring that the shop try to use salvage parts first.
I've made more friends and acquaintances on Twitter than any other social network. It's also easily the most intellectual social network. If you care deeply about something, you will find your people on Twitter.

For me and many others it is a place where we can share what we consider beautiful and sacred, what we find compelling and carefully thought. It is an agora shimmering with such things.

Even though much of the good web has retreated to private spaces like email lists and secret slacks, I am in some of those things because someone was able to find me on Twitter.

(And yeah we all need to vent, and have our human bouts of melancholy. But if you use twitter solely to participate in the negative, you are really missing out!)

> I explained my app. "Since senior citizens are not good at swiping," I said, "I made it possible for them to play by tapping."

I have a similar experience. A few years ago I implemented a traditional Chinese dominoes game on Android for my grandma. (To date she still plays the game every night for two hours.) When I let her tested the game, the first thing I observed was that she was poor at dragging the dominoes to the table. So, I quickly changed dragging to tapping. (Tap a dominoe once to choose it and tap the table once to play it. To cancel a wrong choice, tap the chosen dominoe again.)

An upvote/upmod is also called a "save." If you look in your profile, you can see all of the submissions you have upmodded under "saved stories." There have been a couple times where I glance at a story, know it's interesting and something I want to read later, and upmod it to save it for later.

To be impressive in a sea of impressive people like MIT, I don't think just hard focused work is enough. It's also important to consider nurturing your general cognitive abilities. Primarily, don't drink too much in college! For an extra edge, get cardiovascular exercise regularly. It leads to higher levels of neurogenesis.
Still fallacious. To continue your analogy, this is like saying that all McDonald's stores have unpleasant food because of that one store. Yes, something should be done if it wasn't a one time thing, but no that does not mean the other stores necessarily have the issue(although they could).
Why wouldn't a Mac workstation not be worth it? My iMac 27" is worth every penny for the huge hi-res IPC screen alone.
You don't qualify as an accredited investor with only $450k of savings, so you won't be able to angel invest or invest in SecondMarket shares.

Start off by contributing the maximum amount to a Roth IRA every year, even if it's just for the tax deduction.

Personally, after that I would put about 25% into a no-load index fund, and the rest into high-interest savings (like ING Direct). I would optionally invest no more than 10% of my savings in speculative stocks.

The nice thing about this setup is you can make a decent compounding return with your index fund and you won't lose the farm if it tanks, but the majority of your money is immediately available in case you need it for your side projects or just want to blow it on a vacation (and you won't have to pay the higher taxes for cashing out stocks early). If you don't need it, it's at least not sitting around doing nothing.
How would this compare to the old school taxi industry? Are there any numbers available that London publishes for comparison?
> This means minimum wage workers have been getting a pay cut over time.

This here is the strawman of the argument. Very few employed continuously for ten years continue to make minimum wage / don't move on to better jobs.
I strongly disagree with your understanding of software engineering. In my experience, the best engineers adapt as layers of abstraction permit them to no longer be as concerned about the lower level considerations, such as the ones you noted. The engineers most useful to a business are generalists who have an enormous breadth of knowledge and can specialize at will, where and when it becomes necessary. Much of the knowledge you’ve acquired in the past, will and should atrophy as it becomes less useful. You need to stop having a fixed impression of what a software engineer is and realize that the definition is constantly evolving.
Your fundamental assumption is that labor economics works like an economics 101 course. It doesn’t, that’s why it has it‘s own field of study. As an example, free markets depend on equal information and workers don’t have the same information as employers, so their ability to negotiate isn’t nearly as robust as you imply. Also, many companies enjoy a monopsony on local labor which distorts the traditional relationship between supply and demand. Those are just two examples.

It isn’t inherently negative if your hourly wage is increased but number of hours decreased. Doesn’t that give you more economic freedom? You can use that extra time for leisure or fill it with other hourly work. You might even make the same on fewer hours, which sounds like a win for low wage workers.

I’m not sure why you are redirecting to another study on minimum wage while also trying to “debunk” the Card & Krueger study instead of commenting on the substance or data in this article. Do you disagree with the headline or any of the analysis presented within?
I tend to reach for postgres on all of my projects just because it’s the simplest option. It’s ridiculously easy to get running (you can just start the docker container), every framework seems to support it by default, and its types and query syntax just seem a little more intuitive than all the others. I can’t speak to performance since I don’t have anything particularly intense running on it.
Sorry, that was a very poor choice of words. What I actually meant was "a small commercial hosting company", i.e. not Amazon. Amazon IPs can have a dicey provenance.

(Actually, the company was recently acquired so they may not be so small any more. The company is called ZeroLag and they were acquired by Total Server Solutions.)
To take your argument further, it's not the equation of the A-bomb, it's the implementation? That's somewhat compelling.

But, at least in the US, firearms aren't illegal. Using them in a crime is the illegal part. The biological act of moving your arm isn't illegal, but hitting somebody is.

The analog would be making it illegal to form a fist because you might use it to attack something.
I particularly like that they walk the ladder of abstraction downwards, not upwards. I'm not totally convinced, but I have a strong hunch that walking down that ladder is more pedagogical than walking up. At least in math I have a much easier time reading the proof if I know what it's trying to prove beforehand.
From what I hear, Bush is actually extremely charming in person. I wonder if that will come through.
Source? How does one even begin to measure the opportunity costs of pitting politicians with short term incentives against each other? Many of the supposed benefits aren’t even able to be calculated.
AMC did exactly that, they sold a bunch of new shares at an inflated price
I think it's very fair to say that Bitcoin is not the best cryptocurrency. From a technical standpoint, it's probably near the bottom of the list.

But it was the first and there is something to that in my opinion. Especially given the network effect.

What Bitcoin will never be is:

- A replacement for daily spending

- A stable store of value

What Bitcoin is, imo:

- An appreciating store of value/currency devaluation hedge

- Resistant to government intervention
> When I hit the start menu, it’s because I want to launch an application. I don’t need to see the rest of the desktop. So why is the Start menu by default only occupying a small portion of the screen, and wasting the remaining space?

Hilarious.

I mean, I fully agree with the author on that. But since the author is not tied to a Windows ecosystem, he doesn't know that a full-screen start menu actually happened on Windows 8, and it was nearly boycotted by Windows userbase because of the fact that it occupies full screen space. Users demanded to have a Windows95-style start menu, and MS had to redesign it.

Why it's so important for Windows users to have a Windows95-style menu, is beyond me.

There you have it :D

yeah, Heroku infamously had a really hard time getting Ruby to scale well.

Ruby traded safety (GIL) for absolutely speed, although it should be noted that Ruby's C interfaces do allow you to op out of the GIL, which means if speed is absolutely paramount you can write a Ruby C extension to opt out of it.

I've done it in the past, but OTOH if you're to that point maybe Ruby no longer makes sense.

The point is people don't understand this. You have never voted for president, I have never voted, your mom has never voted. You cast a non-binding recommendation on election day. There is no difference between casting a ballot for president and not casting a ballot. It is the same thing.
Does DC plan to use the site for money laundering?
To a degree the broad points are still valid. However the economics are a lot more complicated now because of 360 deals.

A while ago, labels realized that if they were investing a lot into a band on things like art, tour support, promotions and marketing, it was silly when other third party companies made the money, often with worse splits with the band.

360 or all-rights deals mean that the label helps with all aspects of the band from Fanclub to touring and publishing, and splits profits, usually 50/50 on all but recorded music (which has different splits)

So basically the band an label are in a agency/client model. This is great if the label can deliver on the promise of the deal. That is why I was brought into a label, for in house tech. Not happening as much right now but that can change.

This is a similar way CAA and William Morris work. Shared risk/reward and if done properly on both sides can leads to more incremental gains earlier and with less upfront spending.
I'd call it as people who already have bitcoins trying to raise the value of the currency. The difference is that while I could use 1 BTC to buy 80¢ of US currency or a hundreds of them to buy drugs or something, I'd find it much more valuable to use them to buy coffee, food, and beer locally.
If you are in good health, try fasting for a a week or so. I know, it sounds crazy, and everyone tells you that you must eat 3 meals a day, or else you'll die of malnutrition.

Turns out that you can go about 40 days without food and sustain no irreversible damage (although only 1-2 days without water). The first two days are often hard, but that's because you're experiencing carb withdrawal symptoms (yes, you ARE addicted to carbs). Afterwards, you just don't think of food at all until at some point (in my experience, 7 to 30 days later), all of a sudden you can think of nothing but food - THIS IS HUNGER. what most people call hunger is appetite or carb additiction.

And each and every time I did this (would be around 10 now), it fixed my sleep schedule for a few months afterwards.

The wider shot definitely had an uncanny valley feeling for me. His head movement seemed unnatural.

> How is Chrome anymore of technical success than other browsers?

When chrome was new it was extremely innovative with how much space it gave to websites, and also came with orders of magnitude faster javascript. The other browsers then copied Chrome so all of them are now fast and sleek, but back then the difference was huge.

> Third, people who use Silk Road 2.0 are very happy punters. The average score out of 5 left by drug user on the site of was an impressive 4.85.

> This is the most important thing of all. Because it offers competition and choice, the power here is in the hands of the buyer rather than the vendor. Drug dealers on these markets are very polite and attentive – desperate for a positive review because anything else would damage business. I emailed a number of vendors during my research and all were extremely helpful. As you can see from this Wordle, ‘great’ ‘fast’ and ‘good’ are the most common words left on the written feedback section. There are a lot of happy users out there. Markets really do work!
Does your opinion change when referring to white American terrorists? (nazis, white nationalists, other groups that incite domestic terror)

Bullshit.

If firing up a piece of software creates an unauthenticated, unprotected (non-TLS) endpoint to read-write data, that's a loaded gun. That is PRECISELY the default behavior of ES.

ES has jacked around for years by making TLS and other standard security features premium. To that, I say this: Screw ES and their bullshit business model. Their business model is a leading cause to dumbasses dumping extremely sensitive PII data into a DB that is unprotected - those same folks aren't going to go the extra mile to secure the DB, either by licensing or 3rd party bolt-ons.

Thus, why it must be shipped secure by default. Anything less is a professional felony, in my eyes. Also, screw ES again, in-case I wasn't clear.
Yes it can, and that method has been used to capture badly-behaved pet owners. There's even a startup for it: pooprints.
I loved doing OR for my final project at Uni, it was great solving the travelling salesman problem for a taxi network routing it to the correct people and picking people up in realtime around an imaginary map of points. I remember thinking as I took a cab into halls from the station "wouldn't this be amazing if I could have a device that told me exactly where each cab was at any point and maybe hook into the satnav somehow". In 1999 [1].

Comparing Fluent Design to Bootstrap is a bit apples-and-oranges. It's a design system for multiple possible implementation somewhat more akin to Material Design [1], and just like you might use a Material Design Theme to Bootstrap, you might find a Fluent Design Theme for Bootstrap.

The most direct Fluent Design System library to consider compared to Bootstrap would be Fabric UI which covers Web, iOS, and Android:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric#/

Up until recently Fabric UI didn't always match Fluent Design goals, but they've aligned to Fluent a lot more over recent releases.

Though, generally the "closest to homebase" implementation of Fluent Design is often regarded to be the WinUI library that is the basis for most "modern" UI controls in Windows, in particular its where you see the most of some of the exotic materials Fluent Design likes such as the "acrylic" backgrounds that a lot of people really associate with Fluent:

As far as I can tell, it was neither fallacious nor completely off-topic. It was a response to the logical argument, "We should not do this because this is slavery, and we know slavery is wrong." This is a valid argument, so they were replying that the argument is factually unsound, which is a descriptive sub-issue within the larger normative question. If we are not allowed to debate the facts and can only debate the normative conclusions, arguments almost invariably devolve into emotional shouting matches.

Who owns Maker's Mark? It remains one of my favorite bourbons for some reason. I think its one of the best for its price range. I think it beats Knob Creek (similar price) hands down.

I think doing bourbon right is kind of like doing wine right. It certainly takes more finesse than beer.

However the difficulty in mastering a craft seems orthogonal to whether its a corporation or a single guy doing it.

If anything... bourbon whiskey being brewed by guys who have been doing it forever implies that if you're a craft distillery... just keep distilling and perfecting your craft and you'll do just fine.
