He's not arguing with Axios facts. He's saying the fact that Illinois is gradually ramping to a $15 statewide minimum is not evidence that a $15 minimum is nationally appropriate, because the economy of Illinois is not the same as the economy of Kansas or Wyoming.

It also obviously factual that the prevailing lowest livable wage in NYC is higher than that of Des Moines; NYC's statutory minimum should be higher than Des Moines, not the same. It actually doesn't make all that much sense to push the ball forward on a living wage at a federal level.

How is working for Google, one of the world's most profitable companies, taking a risk?

I'm not averse to risk but I am skeptical that everyone working late at Google is doing so because they're having so much fun as "rock star" engineers that they can't wait to get back to work.
Chicken and egg.

How do you make key partnerships without great tech?

Think about OEM customization, i18n/l10n, backwards compability (etc). If MS didn't know how to do these, history would be different.
you're claiming there's a line in the sand somewhere.

The only solid line I drew was that flat-out anarchy is a step too far. You talk about governing bodies and "language governments," even though I endorsed the current "middle way" paradigm of house styles (like the Chicago Manual of Style, the Associated Press house style, the Times of London style) as offering the best of both worlds. There is no dichotomy of a total free for all versus having a "language government."

When writing something for a public or semi-public audience, I do think there should be a formal specification for English so that you can KNOW deterministically if your composition is correct.

See, I disagree with that. Being with the gamut of what is considered professional, written English is good enough. US English and British English have differing formal standards (and even those aren't fixed by any one group), yet are easily read by both types of reader. Having multiple standards within an overall gamut of professional English is the current system and people adhere to whatever house style they wish (or, more commonly, mix together different notions of what they consider to be good).

Working within a gamut offers both structure and flexibility without resorting to "language governments" or language anarchy.
I have found that older programmers are out date in terms knowledge and skills. It sounds ageist but that us my experience.
> First you have to shiv IE to accept it as a DOM node

I find this an increasingly weak argument as it's applying to <10% of the market and falling fairly rapidly ahead of the 2014 Windows XP end of life and is true of everything else in the HTML5 spec.

> Then after the DOM is loaded, you have to re-write the DOM to replace the <picture> tags with <img>.

This is a reasonable complaint - I'm not sure I'd consider it a big deal since the work of manipulating the DOM is a lot faster than doing anything like downloading an image or rendering it but for anyone trying to do a wall of images it'd be worth benchmarking at the very least.
Righteousness opportunism.

A few days ago I released a course about React hooks [1]; now, as promised, I just released the Next.js template in case anyone wants to create their own course.

GitHub: https://github.com/scastiel/nextjs-course-template

Demo: https://nextjs-course-template.vercel.app/

This template uses:

- Next.js, using static site generation by default.
- next-mdx-remote and remark to parse Markdown.
- Prism to highlight the source code examples, with the Dracula theme.
- React Live to embed interactive and editable examples.
- TailwindCSS for styling.

Ask me if you have any questions or need additional info :)

In the first year it was comically dysfunctional. Then it was concerning. Then it was deeply, deeply sad to watch as an outsider.

It did make me realise that some people think the U.S. has the greatest health care system in the world though. That took some time to process.
Agree. Just am pointing out that the energy consumption of bitcoin seems to be vastly overstated, possibly by an order of magnitude.
> Since Windows’ window management works much better than what OS X’s does

I find this interesting because to me, it just seems that macOS does this way better, especially on MacBooks with the gestures (some of which work on windows). I really miss Mission Control whenever I have to use Windows.
Do we actually know this, for sure? Obviously, it seems like common sense, but there's a similar argument about piracy, and an opposing position that piracy never managed to kill the industries it was apparently a threat to — if anything (so the argument goes), it might have even boosted them. I've bought physical books in the past, even though they were open source. I might also spend money on a digital open source book for various reasons, some of which you mention. It's likely that an author won't make as much direct income from an open-sourced book, but they might make 'enough', even before you consider indirect income.
> Meanwhile, the amount of misinformation around inflation and fiat money is getting ridiculous. Bitcoin proponents talk about Bitcoin as if the only alternative investment was to keep all of your savings in cash under your mattress. Too many people think that inflation means everything loses value except Bitcoin, all while ignoring the fact that inflation literally means the value of traditional assets and commodities goes up in dollar terms.

Exactly. Afaik the entire point of inflation modern monetary strategy is to force people to take the money out of their mattresses and participate in the economy.

Bitcoin is basically just a better mattress. The most compelling arguments for bitcoin's usefulness is as a store of value.
Uh, a Windows-loving thread on a hacker forum!

Let me try to make myself useful, and add an important addition that's missing from the original thread:

stop Windows 10 from restarting automatically

https://superuser.com/questions/973009/conclusively-stop-wak...

In particular, step 2... my Windows Surface Go hasn't auto-restarted in months... and this is plain vanilla Windows 10 Home version 2004 (not a fancy Professional or Ultimate).
At both the office and home distractions abound. Different distractions, and there's generally less at home, but they're the types of distractions I either can or need to engage with.

At a coffeeshop there are distractions, but they generally aren't ones I can or feel compelled to engage with. For me, it's easier to focus on the task at hand.
I would like to see some analysis done on the Blockchain itself; it should be pretty easy to see if there are any compromised addresses like this according to their paper.

As it is, I think it's probably unreasonable for someone to worry if they're using a generally available audited ECDSA toolkit for their signature signing. You have to imagine that the ECDSA kit has a way of secretly storing these numbers and keeping track of their state across calls which might span months. Sounds hard to implement in an open source project.

On the other hand, the idea of something like a Trezor leaking information isn't too hard to believe; at least, now that this paper is written.

Those sorts of attacks don't seem likely to be economical, which is to say a highly secure hardware wallet implementation might be worth more as a company than any one user's single address. You probably couldn't do it more than once or twice before shit got real nasty.
I'm talking front page stories here.
You'd be surprised at what is being done in the government to reeducate disabled and hurt soldiers. Some of the engineers at my company are working with some 20 veterans who have no training in software. Unfortunately they're being lead and managed by beaurocrats who also have no software experience. It's so awesome to see the kinds of pratriotism displayed but in many things government the effort/focus is in the wrong direction. They should have hired software folk to train these guys and lead them.
Theoretically, your employer pays half the employment taxes and you pay the other half. When you are self-employed you must pay all of them. Of course, this simply equates to W2 employees being paid less income.
Excellent point. In my opinion this sort of rhetoric is a substitute for addressing the real issue which is the value actually being provided by government services.

If you tell a poor person "We spent your social security on the war and now we're going to lower the amount you receive" that's asking to be voted out of office. If you tell them "The greedy rich person got a tax cut and that's why your social security is gone. Let us fight them" that gets a lot of people upset and helps politicians win elections.
I agree. I think people need to try harder to improve their situation. But that's easy for me to say because I'm employed. Maybe one creative (okay, not that creative) solution is for people who are employed to try harder to help those who are not so fortunate. If we have the training to keep income coming in and food on the table, certainly we have the ability to train others.

Although this will not generally directly benefit the trainer financially, it can help the overall situation of a community which benefits the trainer in the long-run. Plus there are the non-monetary benefits of helping someone less fortunate.
Did you actually meet real people that believe the chip story or are you just repeating what some anon on the Internet said?

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you wish, but I am not so sure these people actually exist. Except of course the occasional nut case that goes out yelling on the streets and you would simply ignore IRL.
This looks excellent. It's exactly what I've been looking for and considering creating.
That picture of all the bus riders with their heads down in the newspaper... The more things change the more they stay the same. And people ignored each-other in tight spaces long before the smartphone came along.
Noooo! I love delicious and am using it daily, it's one of the reasons I don't completely switch to Chrome (since the plugin is not as good as the Firefox one). OK, time to dire off the API and suck off all the bookmarks.

Where should I put all my bookmarks? What other bookmark service has a nice browser plugin, APIs, etc?

After this I'm also convinced that Yahoo is hopeless.
This comment from Youtube is spot on... "WHY CAN'T I STOP WATCHING BOT FLY VIDEOS!?!?!"
Free markets married to wide-scale individual liberty protected by a democratically elected representative government.
Bubbles are, by definition, predicated on the perception of some measure of value that is not really there. This could include creation of unreal assets or fictional derivative values on real assets, as happened in housing. But it doesn't have to. You can easily have a bubble that involves nothing more than overvaluation of tangible assets. Commodities bubbles, for instance.
This sounds like a really interesting project, Ill be interested in hearing updates as you go along, a domain / twitter account would be useful.
Do not underestimate the ability of human beings to act individually against their collective best interest. Or to act in accordance with whatever authority tells them is their best interest, without pausing for analysis.
Well that makes three of us that had similar ideas and didn't managed to fully implement them before Christmas :-p

Mine's more early alpha stage (and on hiatus) as attempting Facebook integration was biting off a little more than I can chew...

I still think there's a lot of mileage in the concept though as I think there are some pretty key features (other than vendor independence...) that Amazon's wishlist and Best Buy's Giftag are missing. Happy to talk
I'm almost at the point where I should probably go bookmark-free. Inevitably, bookmarks start becoming a micromanagement nightmare. The ability of google to find the site I'm thinking about it is almost on-par with my ability to find it hidden in my bookmarks.
Just because Yahoo's expectation$ weren't met doesn't mean delicious didn't live up to its potential. Many people got accustomed to use it as a search engine and it fulfilled its purpose quite nicely. Imagine if facebook couldn't figure out a way to make money, would it then be considered a failure even though millions of people find it useful?
Used this for a long time, and it was functional...ended up switching to Evernote for that (and importing Google Bookmarks to it), and love it--but I don't have a massive volume of bookmarks.
The person I replied to said housing was being 'denied' to millions. Living somewhere with expensive housing, whatever the reason, is not being 'denied' a place to live. There is an enormous amount of entitlement that goes in to thinking not being able to live somewhere already extremely desirable is being 'denied' a place to live.
Sounds like something that needs a manager appointed to hire a team to determine the appropriate process. Don't forget the Project Manager to keep track of scope, the Business Analyst to prioritize according to company needs, and the Integration Engineers to ensure that other groups will be able to properly implement the solutions. Of course, the everything will need to go before the Change Management Committee and assigned a risk score before it can be implemented.
>They're looking to maximize take-home pay.

Within the limits of "what they already know how to do" and of "what risks they are willing to take." That is why there are so few creative and self-employed types - most people would far rather work longer hours than have to learn anything new or take any real risks.
How's you do things, if you had a blank slate?
Not specific to AirPods: I’ve had the same issue before with Bose Quiet Comfort 25. After using noise cancelling a few hours for a few days I was having this high pitch issue for a day or two. So not a permanent tinnitus (for me), still doesn’t sound good.
I agree, it's not a false claim. You definitely put it in better words.
Those are potholes. A little 2-crew job. We're talking about roadwear. Where the actual asphalt grinds down to the expose the substrate. And in particularly bad cases the substrate breaks down and the road develops ruts. Potholes are a few hundred dollars in repair, roadwear is tens of thousands.

Having seen "i" used for 3 different things on the same blackboard at the same time and 4 in a single lecture, A reasonable shorthand seems like a great idea. Limit things to 4 or 5 letters and spL, lorzF, Enrg, rtMa are all clear in context and hardly wasteful.

The other option is to use 3 symbol code for common notation which might take a little effort to standardize and memorize, but could probably cover all of science, math, and engineering.
Apple is probably glad to be rid of nerd/hardcore users.
I won't miss (suburban) malls (shopping centers). I was never a mall rat, so maybe my perspective is skewed. That said, why not repurpose dying malls as living space for: homeless, hackerspaces, and those in more prime locations, raze and use the land to make into condominiums --malls typically have good transport connections. Make use of the land and buildings. That said some malls are built with expiration dates of 30 years or so, it would seem.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I imagine if you use the Facebook app on your phone, then Facebook can grab your number and attach it as metadata in your account.
Only if you can ensure transparency in all aspects of life, which includes political lobbying, credit scores etc should you bother with regulating something else let alone AI like software. Who the hell do they think creates these systems?

It's funny how so many people came here to complain about the state of the internet... on the internet. Maybe it's just me and I don't get it, but if you don't want to be on the internet anymore, just yank the ethernet cable out of your computer and cancel your plan. One less bill to pay, right?

Coming here to complain and not seeing the ridiculousness in it makes me think some of the people in this thread need to take a long look at themselves and ponder if they might, in fact, be part of a certain cohort that actually makes the internet a worse place to be.

Just my two cents. Feel free to downvote.
I think you got confused. These weight numbers are for towing, not to be put into the truck bed.
Maybe I need to rewatch it, but what I got from it was that he's not arguing against the right to free speech, he's arguing against allowing the right to free speech to impinge on other rights - specifically in his words, the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
> Government needs to deal with the small number of people who cannot care for themselves, but the vast majority of people can be self sufficient, and having their personal car makes them more self sufficient.

More 25% is not a small number. A car only helps if people can actually get out. A mass evacuation by car of LA, San Francisco, Seattle or NY would fail utterly. Any place that already has significant traffic issues during rush hour (the sorts of places where buses are needed) would face massive drops in the evacuation rate due to gridlock and the areas that they would be evacuating through would rapidly run out of supplies (as happened with Fort McMurray with only 88k people being evacuated).
It's not free to run and it is not generating revenues.

The problem is that it is worse. The system begins guessing what users want, and that means the system will be wrong. It often is.

For example, on my Pixel 3, Spotify is terminated if I open the camera app around 80% of the time. Is it a resource issue? Who knows! The system gives me no insight.

Is this what users really want? I'm very doubtful.

I heard this about 3rd hand, so consume with a large helping of salt: the Ruby core developers are considering using the Rubinius stdlib for Ruby 2.0.
Agreed. It would be interesting to also see 'average characters per word', to see whether this has DECREASED as the number of words has increased - almost a 'dumbing down', so that the title can still fit into the 66-70 character Google limit (before it cuts-off the result title in the search results pages).

I was always very excited about wave, and was looking forward to a time when it was in common use. The possibility to unify all my communication around common threads makes sense, being able to use it as a replacement for chat & email - as it has properties of both - and pulling in external sources like documents, lists, PM tools, tickers ...

However, Google definitely messed up the execution of it's release to the general public, it never got any critical mass and the concept was presented in too abstract a way for most people to get it and therefore try to use it, but I can see how a large organisation, such as those discussed above, could pick it up and deploy it internally with success.
Wave was a paradigm shift with too many paradigms.

Had they integrated only the functionality you could find in etherpad into Gmail the story would have been very different IMHO.
HTML5 allows making any element focusable and supports ARIA that exposes custom elements to accessibility API, so you can make pretty good custom widgets using DHTML.
I had about the same; when switching to Firefox, it opened a new tab and before this was opened I was still able to look at an existing tab of someone else.
Here's an ultimate solution: privatize all surrounding property, remove all restrictions, but also all liability caps, don't bail anybody out if liability drives them out of business, and let the oil companies, their insurance companies, and the property owners figure out where they want to drill.
> This feels unethical to me.

Not really. The site operator has done nothing that has not already been done before, and it's little more than a basic nmap scan for services (which anyone can do).

It might be considered unethical that a PLC system is using VNC with no password.

There's also an awful lot of CirrOS systems in there, which tell you the default username and password, alongside a kind note saying the default user has full sudo privileges and you can just sudo into full root. The particularly bad thing about CirrOS is they are almost all running on OpenStack and other cloud providers, whom should know better.
