If I was working at Tesla, towards the end of the 20 years, I would start shopping around other states and try to get a similar package to move there, and then let Nevada counteroffer.
Benefits are fine and you should choose where to work partly because you like the benefits.

But when benefits become venerated to the status of "part of the culture" and good employees are labeled as "not a team player" if they don't visibly celebrate the benefits, then it's a problem.

I'm saying the problem is that these benefits are inane when they are marketed as part of the culture and not merely benefits.
I can speak directly to this. I recently started making electronic music of my own, and have been building a small community of fans and listeners. I don't want to give the wrong impression here (it's still friends and family and only a few strangers), but if SoundCloud goes down, it will basically destroy the progress I've made so far. I am a bit freaked out right now with this news. I really hope the torch gets passed and I don't have my community pulled out from underneath me.
And play in browser could be handled by something like torrent time, no?
You're assuming good-faith on the part of the police. Then using an emotional counter argument. Think about that. A police officer really believes that you're a terrible person and guilty of some terrible crime; and use that to justify a tiny little lie by pretending s/he didn't know that they couldn't do X.

Of course sane people do not want guilty people to go free. What's wanted here, and what's important here, is not that the guilty go free, but that the innocent aren't subject to harassment, embarrassment, and all sorts of other -ments from the government. And before you ask, yes, it's okay with me if some murders go unsolved due to the absence of pervasive surveillance, or even the overly liberal application of the "good-faith" exception.

Nokogiri.
Shouldn't states be able to compete among themselves, in a free market fashion, in order to attract business development that is likely to pay huge dividends over the long term?

It's a little disingenuous to divide the incentive package--which is effective over 20 years and only if Tesla meets all its targets--by the population of Nevada, without similarly considering the taxable revenue the company will generate over the same period if those targets are reached.
The single biggest reason why America has been such a great nation, comes down to its openness and its willingness to embrace change.

If these two values are hampered in any way, then America's decline is inevitable.

I still don't understand. It doesn't matter where the compression happens, because it should be undetectable to any light/matter that's fundamentally a part of that space? If one of the arms gets compressed - the matter will be compressed too, so light still has the same density and amount of space to travel through?

It's not a gaping logical fallacy. It's human nature to tell interesting stories. Black holes colliding is sexy. "We measured a 10^-18 variation in the diameter of the Earth and we are uncertain regarding its cause" is not sexy.

Ah, makes more sense. Yeah, I don't use either. Thanks for the enlightenment.
Slack Finally Adds Time Tracking Integration
The state owns everything in communism, so that makes the leader of the country the de facto owner of everything. See the comments between Forbes and Fidel Castro in the mid 2000's.
Something doesn't make sense to me:

Guy became a felon in 2004, but is involved in a shooting in 2006, and now the feds suspect he might have illegal access to firearms (because felons aren't allowed guns) - how did he not get popped for that after the shooting in 2006?
I think that's three solar masses.
This seems like incredibly abstract, spurious reasoning to say that something which as been around for many years will never be viable ever again.
It's useful to be able to just track time directly from Slack, e.g "/start development", and I'm glad to finally have an app that does it.
Yes, because before the ACA, there were at least options available, albeit expensive. Her situation is complicated, but now there is pretty much nothing available that she qualifies for. Or worse, if there is, I am unable to locate and communicate with those people who can help me, and the people in charge of helping me are not properly trained (another example of the situation above). I've talked to our State's Office for Insurance, and they're trying to help, but are also frustrated (and very sympathetic) with the situation.
Yeah, that makes the whole thing meaningless if you ask me. Well, maybe not meaningless... I supposed I can say... as an X, I'm most likely to marry an elementary school teacher. But if I meet an explosive worker, this will not tell me how likely I am to marry them... which I think is more interesting.

I used CoffeeMeetsBagel. Nearly every women I'm matched up either has a Masters, PhD, Law Degree, or Med Degree.

Too bad none of my statistical positives (wealth in real estate, part ownership of a successful startup) show up in my profile. Wouldn't be surprised if they balked at my lowly Bachelor's degree. I say this as a person who met a woman who said she basically doesn't date anyone who has anything less than a Master's degree.

I guess it should read "adds time tracking integration".
I recall reading some years ago that gravitational wave would be used to prove multiverse theory. How would that scale compared to bh-bh or ns-ns mergers?

Also, have read today that this discovery backs inflationary theory, how so?

It seems highly unlikely that they could say a specific bh-bh merger was the cause. It seems implied they are triangulating the source, with two detectors?

People on that moral crusade never seem to take the time to actually think about what those words and numbers mean. If a friend let you borrow $100 for 2 weeks, I don't think a 6 pack of beer ($8) would be an unreasonable "thank you"/interest payment when you pay them back. That would be a 192% APR.

These are small, short term loans. Of course the rates become insane when you extrapolate to a year.

The other side is a lot of people seem to assume they're compounding rates, I have never seen one with compounding interest. Sure, the fees keep accumulating but they are not compounding.
I don't know where you have those numbers from, but they are very inaccurate. The average household income in Berlin in 2012 was 1650€ net per month [1], so that would be about 20k per year. According to what you wrote, Berlin streets should be essentially free from cars, but I can assure you that this is not the case.
Let me give you some real numbers. I am married and have a small child. I earn 55k gross, which is ~38k after taxes. My wife earns significantly less, providing another 7k per year. I don't know right now how much she earns before taxes, but our gross income combined is well below 80k. So we have about 45k per year and we easily get by. We have a nice flat, eat out several times a week, take ~3 vacations a year, are paying into a private pension plan, and are still saving money. Granted, we don't own a car, but we could if we wanted.
I have no idea if the reported 80k are accurate, but I would be very surprised, as it would be far above the average income for software developers in Berlin (and I think most of their employees are devs).

One of my dreams is to actually see how all of that works. I'm not in it for the music - I just really am a music nerd and would love to know how all that stuff is stored, pulled together, and queried.
Thank you, I was wondering why this was such a thick line.
> the visualization was adjusted to always show same sex lines.

We went back and forth on this a lot. Just showing the top relationships by number would result in omitting all same sex relationships, which didn't seem right. Their inclusion seems to have caused lots of confusion though - maybe it should have been called out more prominently than in the methodology. Even better would have been to have a toggle to show the more distinctive relationships.

Property taxes are used to build infrastructure used by the taxpayers, such as roads, water & sewer connections, et cetera. Presumably they will be building such for Tesla, so they will be out some 'real money'.

Commercial telegram's thing of the past, but if you want to experiment with it, there's the National Traffic System if you are in the US, other country may have similar system in place, ran by radio amateurs. You can pretty much send non-commercial message to anyone (as long as third-party message is legal in the country for domestic message, and originating/destination country have third-party agreements.)

Although, it can be bit challenging to get hold of someone who can actually place a message to the system. (If you have a license, you can actually originate message yourself through your local NTS net.)

> For comparison, the sun makes up about 99.8% of the Solar System mass (500x as much mass as all the planets, dust, etc. combined).

That leaves just 0.2% for all the planets, dust, Oort cloud, Kuiper belt, etc. So ... no.
It seems to my understanding that the power needed for us measure the gravitational waves needs to be enormous - so big in fact that these colliding events only happen once every 10000 years. Can we use gravitational waves also to measure other stuff and not just super powerful rare events?

With the adjustments in place to highlight same sex couples +relatively unique combinations of professions -- I'd love to see someone speak up with HEY! That's me and my spouse!

Fine, but I find comments like "I don't really grasp what's going on, but I can show it's crap using high school logic" to be extremely low-quality, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

>It's a comparative figure, which is particularly important for underscoring the consequences of owing money in the long term.

But it's not comparative -- in e.g. mortgages, they separate out costs (e.g. "closing costs", PMI, inspection) that should rightly count towards the effective interest rate [1]. If they did the same for payday loans, they could (reasonably IMHO) break out the (far more legit) processing costs -- say, $5 in labor, $5 (amortized) for overhead like security, and then you're paying more like $20 for "interest" if you measured by the same basis as a mortgage.

[1] For example, if they loan you $300k for the home at 5% but require $3000 in such costs, then they've really loaned you $297k at ~5.05%.

Ask HN: Do you know of any bootcamps for computer security?
I'm aware of all the bootcamps that have sprung up in recent years and these are almost all geared exclusively towards development/design.

I have a high interest in learning about the security side of things (vulnerabilities, hacking, etc) and have begun a recommended reading list starting with 'Gray Hat Hacking The Ethical Hackers Handbook'

I've always learned better though with a mentor/course and was wondering if anyone here knew of any bootcamps (or similar things) geared towards computer security.
The intent was understood, and it's a pretty minor quibble. But I agree that line threw me for a second as well, and I had to read it twice. I was expecting the next line to be "and then today our version control totally saved our butts!"
Companies with hundreds of developers typically have their fair share of junior developers as well that will earn below average.

How Donald Trump Answers a Question
Having seen this now several times, I find myself wondering if people are aware that it should either be "dispense with once and for all the fiction that..." or "dispel the fiction once and for all that...". To "dispel with" is to use a thing to dispel, such as "Let us dispel the fiction that the sky is green with this spectrograph result." (although that is still so klunky I'd never say that).
> The Adam Smith argument is that everyone should advocate for what is in their own best interest.

The actual Adam Smith argument (that is, the one actually found in the Wealth of Nations [0]) is that different classes of people whose interests are more or less aligned with the public interest on matters of public affairs -- the former including both the landed aristocracy and wage laborers (though, in the latter case, he describes that class as being incapable of understanding their interest despite the fact that it is aligned with the common interest), the latter consisting of the capitalist class (though, not anticipating a term that would be coined around a century later than he wrote, he calls them "those who live by profit".) And that the last group is to be especially distrusted as their recommendations will consistently advance their own interest at the expense of the public interest.

Smith was advocating that people be aware of the fact that people tend to advocate in their own narrow self-interest in public affairs as a safeguard against the threat he saw from certain powerful groups doing that (and, particularly, the danger he saw from business proprietors -- who were both aware of their interests and had interests opposed to the general interests -- manipulating wage-earners -- who he saw as having interests aligned with the common interest but being ill-equipped to recognize either their own interests or the public interest or to advocate for either -- into supporting the interests of the owners.)

This is exactly why amateur athletes cannot take money for their wins/etc. Because as soon as they do, they are professionals by definition.
Well one thing to consider is that a great many countries have managed to do it so we aren't exactly charting scary new territory. We've essentially been told that this has succeeded so the real question is why haven’t we at least tried our own version of it?

Every single job or project has the risk of eventually being taken over by less competent people (or at least, people who didn't understand the entire original vision). Every taxpayer has to live with the fact that he or she won't agree with everything the government does with money. I would have personally loved to have contributed no tax money at all on the military wastes of the last decade, for example. Taxpayers don't really get to choose at a low granularity, otherwise everyone would find some way to cherry-pick to the point that nothing big could get done.

The way to fix it is to put skin in the game personally. Quit your job and apply to work for the government; or, write to a congressman and really press on them that you consider this important; or better yet, tell 50 of your friends and get some network effects; or join some larger group that petitions for change (as so many other groups do).

I'm wondering no-one mentioned Electric Universe which is the greatest opponent of this gravitational hocus-pocus religion. It would be much more beneficial to the humanity to focus smart peoples' attention to Birkeland currents or plasma or to the recent experiments of the SAFIRE project.

I'd argue the offending party is the library pulling in Request for making a few simple HTTP calls.

Request itself in my opinion is a great piece of work, it does pretty much anything one would want to do with an HTTP client.
Of course he's changed things about how he works. But ESR was wrong about the specific change he was arguing for (more frameworky code for device drivers) in that mess of musings about maturity and intelligence. See elsewhere in this thread for links to the context.

Actually, we have ample proof of the distortion of spacetime in a gravity well - gravitational lensing. It's an observed effect around very massive objects and we have been able to see it at work very well. Also, arguably, the fact that we're not falling towards the sky is itself evidence of a spacetime gradient near the Earth, but that was also explained by Newton's Law of Gravitation.

But back in 1916, Einstein also theorised, as part of his general theory of gravitation, that there would be such things as gravity waves, caused by very massive objects moving through spacetime making 4-dimensional ripples appear in spacetime. Until today, that was just an unproven theory, though everyone believed it was likely to be true. There is now solid evidence to back it.

> Unfortunately, their standards have really gone up since receiving said education. I'm not saying this to bash, it's simply my observation.

I suspect that part of it has to do with the circles you hang out in. If you are a non-professional man, you are less likely to interact with professional women. If you do, you will have more chance to pair-wise bond. Anecdotally, a guy I train Krav Maga with, works at the maintenance crew at a local hotel. His wife has a degree in Aerospace Engineering. They met at a gym.
That would be ridiculously high, but do you believe it? Especially 80k on average?
A New Way to Conduct Real-Time User Research
I have a better explanation. She was talking about the kinds of stuff she was into, and didn't sense that you were into the same things. Then when you said you did do stuff like that, she was interested because you had more in common.

She didn't have an ego, you did. If you didn't, you guys could have talked all about the particulars of the stories she was telling, interspersing with similar tales from your adventures.

But no, you wanted to prove that you were better than her. So you let her talk thinking not of having an actual conversation with her, but wanting to go on your spiel.
