What about cars? No one ever pays sticker price, but some pay more than others.

What about airline tickets? Some people pay more than others for the same class of seats, depending when purchased.

Elastic pricing is not the problem. The problem is the collapse of free markets in such areas as education, airline travel, etc. In the higher education area, it manifests itself with pretty much all private colleges charging $50K/year and up, regardless of their repute/ranking.

Ironically, it is usually the better known colleges who offer the best discounts (if you have high GPA/SAT, etc)

I wonder how many shining examples of - successful people who originally quit something with nothing lined up - it will take before people stop making such naive blanket statements such as this. Does her risk of failure increase by just up and quitting? Oh heck yes, but does that mean it's 100% dumb and irresponsible in every context?

You have one life to live and if you don't love what you're doing (she doesn't) and has the skills to do something else (she probably does) and has the guts to change her situation (she does), then in my opinion, she is making the smart and responsible decision.
A good graphic designer will get bored in pretty much any job where they're not being thrown into drastically different creative challenges every so often.

The comfy in-house design job for a single-product company means designing with the same palette and UI standards, using the same brand identity over and over and over. It's boring and creatively frustrating, particularly for anyone who's especially talented.

This is why you often see the best creative minds drift in and out of freelance or boutique agencies at various points in their career, having many different clients means having many different creative challenges.

I thought that software licenses and EULAs were designed to remove liability?

No doubt they try, but the fact is, those kinds of documents can't override the law. In some places, the law imposes minimum standards on what is acceptable in a consumer (or even business) transaction, and software companies have tried to play the "But the EULA says..." card, and if it's actually tested in court they have sometimes lost. They often rely on people not being aware of their rights and/or not having the time or money or willpower to contest the issue.

Even that barrier may not help the software companies in the long run. Coincidentally, just today the UK introduced a sort of lightweight version of US class action lawsuits as part of a major revision of consumer protection law, as well as various other explicit consumer rights relating to digital rather than physical content.

I would not be surprised by a world where only specialists (developers, graphic designers etc) have desktops and the actual majority of computers in use are locked down iOS or Android kiosk type devices.

I'm afraid that is one all too realistic possibility. But there are reasons for hope as well.

For one thing, tablets and the like are convenient for small-scale content consumption and minor interactions, but they're awful for serious content creation or more complicated interactions. I don't think general purpose computers are going anywhere any time soon.

Perhaps more significantly, there is now a push in quite a few places to promote computer literacy and basic programming skills even at school age, and to spread the word that you can still tinker and make cool stuff, perhaps using devices like the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. We also have Linux and the FOSS community following a similar philosophy on the software side, of course, and actually one of the nicer results of so many kids having smartphones these days is that writing simple apps to run on them is now an attractive introduction to programming for kids who enjoy playing with technology. Ultimately, there is a strong human instinct to create and many people enjoy making stuff that is fun and interesting, and fortunately no amount of marketing is ever likely to change that.

Dumbed-down, locked-in devices may be the majority in the future, but I think there will always be room for powerful, flexible tools and there will always be room for innovation and creativity. It's a big world.
Any idea if there is a catchable event to detect an integrity check failure?
Except they didn't corner the market, aside from when they're willing to sell them cheaper than anyone else. E.g. the company that Fortune article focused on, Molycorp, stumbled in various ways and for various reasons, including lower prices because the PRC's initial restrictive actions were of course followed by counteractions, including recycling.

On the company's web site, they say they're putting their US facility in maintenance mode, ready to resume if market conditions warrant it, and are fulfilling customer demand from the PRC and Estonia.

So, no, in terms of rare earths they aren't a necessary part of our military and industrial supply chains. A trade embargo between us would hurt us both, and it would be devastating if they could interdict shipments from Taiwan, Japan and South Korea (one of the reasons we maintain an expensive military, although fab lines have to be exquisitely vulnerable), but otherwise at 0th approximation it's hard to distinguish your argument from those made just prior to The Great War AKA WWI.

I'd also note that if we even had a complete trade embargo between the US and USSR I don't remember/remember reading of it. In 1980 Reagan campaigned on lifting Carter's grotesque grain embargo to the USSR, one of many pinpricks he made after they invaded Afghanistan and mightily embarrassed him.

This is bit of a silly blanket statement given America's main tech center (and a significant portion of HN's population) is in San Francisco, where rents are the highest in the country. It's really hard not to live beyond your means just by living there.
Not to be a dick but it sounds like you just make a lot of money. I'd consider owning a house and 2 cars to be pretty garish compared to the average middle class family. The luxury of being able to travel is something not many people have. Plus if you have ever had a parent help you with any significant expense you are much luckier than the majority of people. This sounds like one of those /r/personalfinance threads where the op finally paid off debt by cutting expenses, cooking at home, getting $200k windfall from a grandparent dying, etc.
> You'd run into exactly the same problem.

I think you misunderstand the problem. /usr/local exists in OSX, and is one of the recommended install locations for user software. But if you change the permissions on /usr/local, OSX will interpret that as damage and fix it. Homebrew does this, which is in conflict with all uses of /usr/local in Unix history.

> and (b) it can be written to by a normal user.

Critically, no. This is a security risk. A larger one back when multiuser systems were the only Unix systems, but still a risk. Violates all standards, even the ones OSX doesn't attempt to comply with.
I agree, combining TA with Sharpe Ratios for example.

I've also protected portfolios from showing close to zero gains by using basic stats and TA principles available to anyone, to avoid creating positions in overbought stocks. While also sometimes overweighting on stocks that they are keen on buying, that have either spiked down or have shown significant retracement, oversold, days before.
Your numbers mean literally nothing to me. What do your expenses cost per month? Children? Food? Housing? Student loans? Car payment? What is your income tax rate? Sales tax rate? Insurance? Phone? Internet?
I would argue we tolerate it from the insurance industry, particularly health insurance. Medical providers and drug makers blow up their prices to ridiculous levels, and then use insurance to discount the prices for us so at the end we "only" pay co-pays. There's some token anger against insurance companies, but at the end of the day what do we do? Demand to be their customers!

Right? You should have at least a 6 month emergency fund, and if you're saving properly then you'll find it's not much of an issue. People love to complain about their money as they spend most of it on dumb things they don't really need.

You can request to load a particular script that you know comes from a given site. If it loads instantly (for some value of "instantly"), then the request was almost certainly served from cache.
I don't even know where to start with this comment. If you read any "how to plan your life financially" books which are not written for multi-millionaires, but the average "Working Greg", you will see that the agreed upon advice is that you are supposed to save about 25% of your after-tax earnings. I didn't make up 10%-15%, I intentionally lowered the amount from the standard advice because I knew that 25% would elicit responses like yours. Fine, forget the 10% - 15% number.

Let's see if you agree with the following:

We've been toying with this idea in earlier revisions of the spec, basically using the hash as a cache key and not loading the same file from websiteB if it has already been loaded form websiteA.

I have fully switched over to Rust to do my web backend's. I use Nickel.rs and it has worked great. The code is very succinct and fast. The only downside I have found to this is that there is no "Hot Reload" which I had with Flask(Python) and Play(Scala).

As the ecosystem grows I only expect it to get better.
> But you choose where you live

Given that it takes money to move, no, you do not always have a choice in where to live.
What exactly is it that you are feigning surprise over? That people on high salaries can save a significant sum of money? What's counterintuitive or surprising about this?
(1) Akerloff's paper "Market for Lemons": ability to assess quality depends on information. Adequate information may not be available to all parties equally and may be costly to acquire.

It may not be realistic for private individuals to assess the quality of their healthcare or tuition, even after the event. See also VW: it's easy to lie about details which affect the quality.

(2) Increasing perfection of price discrimination: market participants charging different prices to different customers. Airlines can do this because of the ID requirements and non-resaleable tickets. Private healthcare can do this too.

(3) Switching costs: Oracle win at lockin. Big problem in the software world, but also for tuition (incomplete courses not portable).

(4) Regulatory capture & paid lobbying: applies to pharmaceuticals, textbooks, DVDs, healthcare.

I don't imagine any browser vendor implementing this at all. A hash collision seems unlikely but if it can be constructed, the results are potentially disastrous. No one else should be able to decide where code from site is loaded except me.

"pretty sure" isn't really good enough.
There were a few aims I wanted to meet:

- Stick as closely as possible to the GLSL specification by using the reference grammar with minimal modification

- Produce a haxe version of the parser so I could do some haxe-compile-time magic with it

Haxe is fairly similar to javascript so I tried altering PEG.js to spit out haxe. The result was a 9000 line file which it turns out was too big to compile. ANTLR looked promising but it appeared to be a bit too much to work create a haxe port of the runtime.

Lemon was minimalistic and had a simple syntax which was fairly close to the syntax of the reference grammar. The core parser is only about 300 lines[0] and everything else is in data tables[1] which are generated by the lemon command line tool.

2) I have been having good returns (for over a year now) with 2 vehicles: lendingclub.com (P2P lending) and futureadvisor.com (which is in a space I suppose is called "computer-assisted wealth management"; competitors include Wealthfront, etc.) It's basically a financial advisor without the advisor, and thus, extremely low-fee. You get a person if you need a person, and they lean heavily on quantitative analysis to reduce their own investment-decision workload.
I know people that live in the United Arab Emirates too (the country with the highest marginal tax rate), and besides housing, the rest of the stuff is ridiculously cheap, so it makes sense that if you have a high income you can save a lot.

Macports, meanwhile, continues to work quite well because it 1. places packages in /opt and 2. has always installed via sudo.

Macports just has a much more robust philosophy of building its own universe largely separate from OS X, and only rarely impacted by system updates. The downside is that it takes forever to install the first few packages. Homebrew offers a much faster initial install because it leans on OS X libraries for various things. But then it is much more fragile when your system updates. Macports really only depends on a slice of Xcode; from time to time updates will fail to install until you open Xcode and accept whatever new license Apple has bundled with it. But you don't get key components changing out from underneath your packages due to an Apple System Update.

My bias here is that I'm a longtime happy Macports user who has tried to use homebrew repeatedly, encountered lots of failed recipes, and gone back to Macports, shaking my head at all the hype around homebrew and the fact that is has somehow become a defacto developer default despite some really sloppy, poorly thought through practices. (And I know that's harsh but for a long time they trashed Macports right in their tagline — "Is MacPorts driving you to drink?" — which just seemed gratuitous.)

Babadook: Connectionless, Persistent Powershell “Backdoor”
I've done it, twice. (And probably a 3rd time in the next 12 months) And I'm definitely not a trust fund kid.

First time I took a year off to ski bum and travel (late 2008 just as the recession started to get rolling)
In 2012 I took nearly a year off to start my own thing.

I noticed both times that as soon as I didn't have any income, I knew where every dollar I spent went and lived very frugally to stretch my funds.

In general, I live way below my means and save as much as possible. I'm early 30s and have always had shared living situations (either SOs or roommates) and that means right now my living expenses are about ~12% of my take home pay, so basically that means even after I max out my 401k I have a few thousands of dollars per month to do what I want with.
I appreciate the suggestions and trust me I'm working on it. I wasn't trying to turn this into a thread about my money issues. It's just that HN tends to have a lot of very young and very very well paid people who tend to think everyone else is in that same situation. I'm not sure they realize how fortunate they really are.

A. /usr/local has never ever been writable by a nonprivileged user. Every standard that exists, including the principle of least surprise, is emphatic on that point. The security implications of "any other way" are massive.

B. If Linus or the FHS changed their ways in this, there would be outrage. It's inappropriate and just plain dumb. [edit: I shouldn't have said "dumb", please replace with "in violation of all guarantees of system integrity".]

C. See above.

You apparently have issues with SIP. That's a separate issue from the current thread, but OK. You should reboot to securely change nvram settings that will allow you to manipulate the protected zone of the file system (including /usr) because this concession to inconvenience saves you from privilege escalation attacks.

The real question is why you deleted /usr/local in the first place. It's standard OSX, and always has been. If you deleted it before SIP, but object to its absence now that SIP applies to the directory where it lives...I'm not sure how to help.

I second the other comment. Fuck you, just, fuck you.
I agree. When i read this email this morning, I came away feeling more secure with the company, rather than less. I hope that more companies do it this well, and realize that admitting the breach well can strengthen the trust.
> Not to be a dick but it sounds like you just make a lot of money.

I do not. I make just over $70k a year now (a lot more than a few years ago) and before we had kids, we cut back so that my wife's income at the time went entirely to paying off debts. Our home is worth ~135k (three bedroom in a nice cheaper US city), and our cars are nothing to write home about but they get us where we need to go. My total income now is higher than our combined income was then. Like I said before, planning goes a long way.

Your comment does come off as a bit dickish, by the way. You made a lot of assumptions about me that are not true.
Perhaps the easy of writing recipes, combined with good timing (Ruby was all the rage), is what made people go to homebrew.

I think you are forgetting how much money someone like this makes at their job. We're talking something like 5 or more times what someone at the bottom of the income ladder makes. So technically just saving for 3 months will give you more than a year of runway in a much less expensive lifestyle.
You got me interested, but step 1 is already too steep, I guess I should convert it to local currency. And what's that thing about "mortgage"...

Looks like it's too naïve, but it's good advice for people living in the U.S. and that have mortgages.

Just for the record when someone says "not to be x" they are almost always about to be X. I was wrong. You are in a situation similar to me though. About the same income/housing price with a wife and first child on the way. There is no way I'm saving 20% in the foreseeable future though. I have two car payments though. One that will be paid off this year and the other I'd like to get rid of but I'm too upside down right now.

How do you know this? They get paid for the data and selling it to the government guarantees that they will be allowed to keep collecting it in the future. It's clearly a mutually beneficial agreement.
