cool title but the article wasn't good.
It's essentially about power differentials and narcissism, not money.

When you call out someone trying to lowball you and they start ranting, they're really ranting about a narcissistic injury to their self-image.

Someone who does that will be a terrible client, because they're operating from a position of contempt for the people they employ. They do not see you as an equal, but as an inferior.

If the "inferior" challenges their default entitled one-up world view by expecting to be treated like a competent and well-compensated professional, they're absolutely going to have issues with that.
Show HN: How this man gets away with this
> You're not going to get Hollywood to publish online without EME.

Then they don't publish online. It's not the end of the world.

> This is the discussion about whether you want Hollywood movies to exist online or not, and they're perfectly happy to go without online streaming.

I'd say "perfectly happy" is an overstatement... given that they are the ones trying to push nonsense this though.
> Not one of those alternatives is good enough, because they’re just not the same.

So what is the problem exactly? Is it really that hard to make a good reader?

Personally I don't really care. My Reader list was so bloated I never had time to go through anything. Just speculating but could it be that many people were like me, using Reader out of habit? So when it disappeared it didn't really matter much because algorithms and aggregators had already replaced it. That could explain why none of the alternatives really took off but I don't know.
Which is sort of the point I was trying to make, but evidently quite badly. Yes, I agree with the author - these cases should be dealt with through the court system.
Just because it's a lifestyle that many people would kill to have doesn't mean it's actually worthwhile. It just means it's well marketed. Like living and working in Hollywood, or being a banker in London.

If you drink the koolaid AND you get really lucky, you get to have a profitable business that changes the world for the better. For most, it's actually a job like anything else, just with the added expectation of utter devotion and unwavering belief.

I think her point is that despite the perks, she's just "shoveling it into her body", all of it, and can't quite get over the uncanniness of it all.

Also, I thought Facebook at first too, and thought it was a bit strong, then realized she was talking about LinkedIn.
> The proverbial 'general public' never could be bothered to spend those ten extra minutes getting to understand that orange icon with the stripes

Eh, the general public didn't care about smartphones for awhile either (email on blackberry? who needs it?)

The same can be said for VR right now, I think

RSS never got its chance. Google Reader seemed to have growth until it was killed

Google could win a little bit of confidence back from the dev community if they brought it back. I wonder how much it would cost them.

Admitting your mistakes is nothing to be ashamed of. When big companies do it and provide what their most passionate users (computer/tech addicts) want, it shows strength, not weakness.
My grandfather often took the engine room night shift on 'mud barges'. He'd just sleep and any change in sound that might indicate an issue would wake him up instantly. He likes to joke that he got rich sleeping.
For this reason alone I would trust autonomic trucks much more than human driven counterpart. I must admit, I've drifted away few times as well while driving passenger car over long, boring highways..

I wrote mine along similar lines, except without using hashing at all. Files of identical size are compared byte-by-byte instead, until first difference or end of file. As many files as possible at a time, of course, to avoid having to read through files multiple times. This avoids any uncertainty about hash collisions.

To find out how many files of each size you have:

find ~ -type f -printf '%s\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Sarcasm aside, what's a few pennies per sale on $105bn in sales?
Actually, this wasn't the reason. I already knew the guy who approached me. They were developing a data analytics solution quite similar to others I have worked on/built in the past. They needed a developer with a real-world product experience in their domain. Unfortunately, it wasn't my acquaintance who was responsible for the hiring.

Luckily, the software development market is global and there are some really sane people out there.
This guy is a legend, but I don't find this to be a particularly good illustration of the Atari's graphics. The Display List is particularly poorly described. The DL is literally a list of what graphic modes to use on which raster lines, from the top of the screen to the bottom. For example, one line of text would occupy 8 raster lines. Then the next entry in the display list might be for the highest-resolution graphics mode, which would be only one raster line. Then the next one might be for a large-text mode, taking 16 raster lines.

When you added up all the raster lines for the entries in the display list, they'd tally up to the 192-pixel height of the screen.
That's the same thing. But we are apparently only capitalists when it means keeping the minimum wage down.
It's because of the UX. Email has traditionally been letter sized messages, each message takes up your entire screen or some other large fraction. Email for most people is HTML flyers sent to them by companies so it would be difficult to render a message and letter based UX with the same standard. The amount of friction to send a message is pretty high too.

Also because of the design of email, the speed of interaction is pretty slow compared to a message style UX. The creators of these apps favor low bandwidth network communications, so sending the word 'ok' to someone doesn't involve a large header, the rest of the conversation quoted in the same email. It's just the word 'ok' and maybe a conversation/user id.
So from talking to flirting? Flirting to lightly touching arm? Lightly touching arm to sitting closely? Sitting closely to staring into eyes? Staring to kissing? Kissing to hands on body? Each escalation of foreplay?

I understand what you're saying, but I don't see the granularity as being clear at all. Nor have I ever seen anyone else pressure women into obtaining explicit consent at each escalation.

You mention in another thread consent could be given non verbally. Non verbal cues are easily misunderstood - and we're taking about using this as a basis for determining guilt for a serious crime here.
Ah, good point.

Thanks for showing me the problem with my argument.

I have seen people threatened to have their work visas not renewed in Sweden.
The Robert Frost reference I played because I always feel like I can keep learning som much more, do so much more, as I think he tries to convey in his article. And I played it off the English translation of his Latin quote, 'Nil nove sul sole' ('Nothing new under the sun') to convey that too.
You're never stuck; it's in your head. I grew up poor in Brooklyn, and I have taken lower paying jobs after higher paying ones for the experience and fun of it. You learn to live within your means. You don't need a remote job to move to Indonesia. I live on very little here. I spend more on luxuries like books and credit for Internet. I am far from any big stores or town, so the temptation to just spend is gone too. I am sure you can manage to save $10K USD in a year. I am spending the time studying, exercising, sleeping (I have slept an average of 6 hours or less per night for the past 30 years or so, and now I try and get 8 to 9 hours, sometimes more!). The old cliche 'Life is short' rings more loudly as you get older, and peers start dying around you. In our youth we rally to 'Seize the day', but we don't own it. As Joseph Campbell said and wrote, 'Follow your bliss'. The rest will take care of itself just like the feet and hands wash themselves in the process of showering or bathing. Semoga berhasil!
That wouldn't make any sense if
the only reason was money.

Yes, it does.

Fewer Swiss would work for tech wages, because they can more easily get jobs in banking, finance, law, medical that pay better and/or are easier. Or hail from old money, and are artists, musicians, run galleries ... A similar phenomenon is at play in tech in the US, which is full of foreigners from EE, India etc.
Sure, the C runtime initialization runs before main. Unless you're looking at the stack at _start, it's probably unintialized. And it depends on your libc implementation, etc.

It just happened to be zero in the author's case.
Sure, this is a valid concern, but in the context of a learning experiment like the one discussed here, this is not really important.

"Hey kid, nice treehouse, but what about burglars?"
> Great in theory, unworkable in practice.

In advertising agencies it's not unheard of to hire creative teams (for example an art director + copywriter duo) who are used to working together. In fact where I work most hires and departures in the creative departament in the past few years were in teams of two or three people.
I find it interesting that the author completely looks over Cortana when listing the various voice assistants. Cortana is perhaps the most widespread voice assistant, it being on almost every windows pc.
Yeah, like the UK universities I attended offered me a discount for being Bulgarian ...

EDIT: funny as it is, my rates were probably a third less than what a local consultant would have charged them.
Come on, don't be so negative.
I ordered a ball on FK and a week later I got an email saying that my order was canceled due to lack of stock. This has happened to me on Amazon as well, but the difference was that the email from Amazon came in a day or two.
> just autofill the title from the submitted URL

This is a case of Jerry Weinberg's dictum that when you hear the word "just" in software development, replace it with "have a lot of trouble".

It's one of those ideas that seems like it would work until you look into it. In reality it doesn't come close to working, because many web pages have titles that violate the HN guidelines, include junk, or are meaningless. There's no substitute for editorial judgment.
I often wonder this and I think that's probably the reason. Someone somewhere is offering a good deal for people to write spam software for them. A real shame, because it's not a trivial task and that skillset could be used in much better ways.
>Hiring processes need to be standardized. Candidates deserve a consistent experience and consistent evaluation. A company can't meaningfully evaluate candidates if it treats each one differently.

I can only agree with this to a certain extent. It seems to me that sometimes, special candidates at a smaller company might require a special process. It's very hard to standardize this kind of thing and not that worth it in the long run, especially for startups who are hiring for all sorts of positions.

Now this doesn't mean I don't agree with the rest of the points, as most of them actually seem pretty on point.

I don't think amalgamation means what you think it means (obligatory reference to 'The Princess Bride' ;)).

And if you mean by amalgamating that he united or tied together a lot of different opinions on a lot of different things, how is that unpleasant?
If the person remains totally passive at each of these stages, or repeatedly says or does something not affirmative, like "I really need to go" or turning away from you, what do you think you should do next? Is this really that hard?

The only way what you're saying isn't really creepy and odd, is if you have a version of affirmitive consent in mind, that doesn't correpsond to reality.

edited to add: It's worth bearing in mind the history of this, were a person doing the above would be told that it didn't count, that they were expected to "fight off" their rapist, because that's what good victims would have done, and clearly they weren't a good enough victim because they just remained frozen in fear, or were nearly unconcious through drink or drugs. Both the potential victims and the potentially accussed are better of with this extra clarity, that silent, passive, borderline unconcious acceptance of what you are doing is not enough to avoid later accusations.
not the good ones
> you pay for user experience

Which isn't vastly relevant in a single-application-suite workflow. It's end-to-end Adobe so you plug your SD card in, it copies some files out to an Adobe library and you edit them in Lightroom.

I think many of the problems people are describing is more to do with what's being compared in hardware. Different monitor resolution, different CPU, etc.

My own objection is buying top-end rubbish from a photography equipment supplier. You can get similar spec stuff and much cheaper. This seems to be an exercise in trying to spend $4k (which is actually quite hard when you're not buying a Mac) rather than building for value.
From the user pov, that's just engineering.

Users want stuff to work. They don't care about the engineering behind it. In fact they want to see as little engineering (friction) as possible.

Alexa is the part that makes the engineering fun and useful. And it's much harder to build a system like Alexa than it is to build a 433MHz dimmer system for your lights.

Alexa is actually the new Windows. MS, Apple, and Google are following not leading now, and they should all be worried Amazon got a successful and popular consumer hardware product into this space first.
And still, I was probably 30% cheaper than a local consultant. Anyway, if a relationship starts in this way I cannot image what working with the client would be, so I did myself a favor.

That's fine, money isn't everything. But this is definitely not the strategy to employ if money is high on your priority list.
That's an excellent example. If a man is initially unsure about sex - he says he needs to go, but still stays - and a woman changes his mind and they have sex, do you consider her a rapist?
People have all of their traffic tracked by their ISPs, they use chrome, they have full activated accounts on their phones, they add tag themselves everywhere around facebook and they are mad because someone wants statistics over google analytics... you IT people need to relax...

This has gone full circle and honestly is quite irritating at this point.

People say that Google uses GA data for advertising, I say that this is not the case and then you just chose to ignore that. So I'm just gonna ask directly - can you show some evidence suggesting Google uses GA data for building advertising profiles or did you pull this opinion out of your ass?

Because as someone who analyses marketing and advertising data, I can tell you that I strongly believe they do not use GA data in this way. 1) They have no need to, they have better data; 2) This data is unreliable; 3) GA prohibits the use of personally identifiable information; and most important of all:

THE WEBMASTER CAN CHOSE TO NOT SHARE IT WITH THEM. If this webmaster went out of his way to tell google not to store IP information, I think it is pretty safe to assume that they did not opt-in to share the data with google AT ALL.

Apart from these technical reasons, using GA data in the way you think they do opens a regulatory risk of EPIC proportions.

But if you have some evidence to suggest that they do use it for "advertising profiles", please do share it. But if you can't and you formed this opinion because you are prejudiced, I would like to see you admitting it.

If you are accused of raping a girl on the sole grounds that she was drunk when you had sex, then the fact that you were also drunk should be grounds for a counterclaim of rape against her.

Obviously, that would be ridiculous. But so far as I have read, only Brown's policy explicitly takes the position you advocate, that while the female being drunk casts blame on the male, the male being drunk casts even more blame on the male. ("A charged student’s use of any drug, including alcohol, judged to be related to an offense will be considered an exacerbating rather than a mitigating circumstance.")

Making London (or any city) better to live in is a good idea if it's affordable, as is attracting more people to places that have a relative advantage in attracting investment and creating jobs. The terrorist argument doesn't make much sense - London must already be pretty high up on the list of "attractive" terrorist targets based on all kinds of factors and I can't see how a million or two more (or fewer) people is going to make much difference.

On the other hand, there's an excellent argument for creating infrastructure outside London, it would be great to see a much stronger second city (or metropolitan region) - this would be attractive to some businesses that may be put off the capital by cost, relieve pressure on London, and be great for people for a multitude of reasons.

Given how cheaply governments can borrow money right now, I don't understand why they're not doing both, or why developed countries in general currently spend so little on infrastructure.
Essentially yes. Rape is not a "strict liability" crime, which means that intent is an element of the crime. By definition, "the perspective of the alleged perpetrator" is a key element of the crime, just as it is with murder, assault, robbery, and a host of other crimes. You can't just say "Alice killed Bob, Alice is a murderer!", you have to stop and ask what Alice was thinking or intending. It might not even be a crime, it might be negligence, manslaughter, etc.

(Well, sort of. Technically it's the perspective of "reasonable person" in the alleged perpetrator's position, which is a well-defined legal fiction. As Wikipedia notes correctly but unhelpfully, "the 'reasonable person' is not an average person or a typical person".)

The author is correct: Rape cases, by their nature, do tend to revolve around discussions of what the accused reasonably believed about the other parties consent. The mistake is in suggesting that there's anything we could (or should) do to change it.
