How Industry Leaders Create Strong Brands
I am against the idea of anonymous voting. There is too much gaming involved here. I think only HN accounts that are identifiable to a real person should be allowed to vote. Not sure how you can enforce this though.
Non-strict (lazy) evaluation should be mentioned as another way to approach the problem.
The market is beginning to demand it, and Talia's story is one example of that.

If you want to understand why some people are afraid to speak out about the situation, you needn't look further than the backlash that Talia herself got.
German Humor.
Also, a lot of things are "hidden taxes" on the poor. For example, tickets do not scale with wages. Few things do.

I was without work a while back: I was near-devastated by a double-whammy parking ticket (total ~$100) I had gotten.
There is no way rare situations like that really add up to that much savings. Especially since imported products are absurdly cheap now. There are plenty of cheap goods that are roughly the same value as their much more expensive counterparts.

For every think like workboots or tools, there are things like clothing or kitchgoods were quality doesn't save you money.

A bigger issue is just poor longterm thinking. Poor people will buy a six pack of toilet paper for 3 bucks instead of buying 24 for 9. Sometimes it's not even lack of longterm, thinking, they may need that extra six bucks or they'd miss another payment and incur 15 dollar late fees.

And of course impulse control. We all know people who live paycheck to paycheck, but if they got some extra money they'd spend it on absurd shit. Not even stuff like booze, but like schlocky walmart stuff.

I don't blame them, you can't really save your way out of poverty anyway. Might as well YOLO it.

>evolving to detect reality in some sort of true pure mathematical sense.

I don't think this exists; a perfect description of reality IS reality. Let us contemplate our finitude and be humbled.
The idea that the world is "nothing like" the one you experience through your senses is completely ... stupid.

What you experience through the senses is a valid aspect of the world, which is incomplete, but accurate within its limitations, and largely non-conflicting with other ways of observing which reveal other aspects.

Physics, quantum or otherwise, doesn't flat-out invalidate what you see around you.

Besides, all scientific instruments translate deeper observations which we cannot make with our senses into a representation available to our senses. (In some cases, just numbers which can be visualized, and often direct visualizations). A scientific instrument is in the world, and I can experience its output with my senses.

> Suppose there’s a blue rectangular icon on the lower right corner of your computer’s desktop — does that mean that the file itself is blue and rectangular and lives in the lower right corner of your computer? Of course not.

Of course not, because the file is blue, rectangular and lives in the lower right corner of your desktop. (The desktop isn't to be confused with the computer).

This is real; the aggregate digital object which includes the icon position and color, as well as other information such as a name, modification time stamp and content, does in fact have among its undeniable attributes that it's in the lower right corner of a virtual graphically visualized space known as a desktop and that its color is blue. The position, shape and color are merely not a complete set of its attributes.

I'm not so sure about that, especially when compared to other forums. People here often cite specific laws, articles, and papers when making political points[citation needed].
Linux is on the desktop. It's just the definition of "desktop" has changed... The devices people use day-to-day are predominantly either iOS or Android, just like how the devices people used day-to-day in the 90's were Windows.

This is interesting but some studies has shown that longer cardio exercises as running for 20-30 min increase the production of neurons and gives you a clearer mind, of course this 1 min exercise is really attractive for the "I have only 5 min" people but I prefer the benefits from a long run.
Well, I like it... but it's pretty much the style I'm already using.
No idea why you were down-voted - it's a reasonable question. And San Francisco confuses matters because of the high cost.

In the US, the only time having a true roommate (two beds, one bedroom) as an adult is normal is in a college dormitory.

Beyond that, when American's say "roommate" they really mean "housemate", just as you suspected.

But, rent has risen to quickly in the Bay area, that it is increasingly common for adults to share rooms, not just houses/flats. It's completely abnormal and indicative of serious problems in the housing market in SF. To my knowledge, this is not a common occurrence anywhere else in the US. When it does happen outside SF, it is usually among the extremely poor, which often includes recent immigrants.
Good point. Maybe the US wouldn't be the ideal target market.

This pattern is nice, but it makes a lot of IDE's shit the bed completely. I'd really love to see a stronger relationship between Optional and Stream. Right now using both together is very ugly and the function name space is super fucked up, where there is an Optional.map and a Stream.map and you could have them nested or chained. I think there is some resolution in JDK9 for the latter issue though.
Full disclosure: one of my startups is very similar, but our take on the topic is very different. Good luck!

Or maybe they could move them and give them a raise from all the savings found elsewhere.... Like rent, property, taxes and so on.

In Canada CN move their head office from Toronto to Calgary. They paid for the moves, gave everyone a one time extra bonus plus raises. They saved billions and not that many complained.
What is really going on is that the uberwealthy elite (.01%) have built their empires on exploiting third world countries via central bank douchbaggery and IMF corruption. (to elaborate on that point alone is a thesis paper waiting to happen)

Now that all the third worlds have been exploited into the ground, and the cannibals have no new prey, they are turning inward on their own populations, and are already in the process of extracting wealth from the first world countries.

Where are they extracting it from? The upper-middle-class wannabe wealthy. When all the "rich" people in your neighbourhood are actually upside down in everything because they jumped into the debt based system, they only seem wealthy. When the banks start calling dues, stuff will start collapsing (as can be seen in my area of the Texas oil boom.) When stuff collapses, it's the perfect opportunity for the big players to buy up assets for pennies on the dollar.

As for investing, it's the same thing. You have huge players who have the ability to do things like spike/brown LIBOR and other super-shady backroom stuff that manipulates the market, all the while increases in cyber-security of the trading platforms is going to muscle out all the hungry investor startups trying to do the same thing. The entire stock market system is a huge ponzi scheme, but instead of crashing down, the crashes are created and used as huge pivot points to profit for those in the know.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Bankers are the true terrorists.

>you can't possible go more intense than "all out"

Sure you can - the stronger you are, the more energy you burn during an 'all out' sprint. My 'all out' peak wattage and cadence on a bike today is far from what it was when I was at my cycling best, so the load/intensity does vary.
Reddit on your wrist with Milkeddit
Increasing the intensity as you adapt will prolong the benefits, as will shortening rest. For example, a tabata is pretty much the standard of this type of training, and is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 4 minutes (8 rounds total) and can be completed with any movement.

And the goal is typically to maintain the same intensity throughout, not to get the highest total number. So if you're doing calories on a stationary bike, 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 is much better than 15-13-12-10-8-6-5-5 (usually).

This is basically saying the US government should take over the movie making business. Why?
> There is no way rare situations like that really add up to that much savings.

It's not rare situations: it's everything. Also, take this particular cost and multiply it by the number of kids. This is just one particular example. Others have mentioned related situations like emergencies, which can have even higher dollar amounts.

> A bigger issue is just poor longterm thinking.

Stuff like this only works if you have the space to store it. My family did, luckily, but before we moved out of the small apartments we started with, we didn't really have the room.
Some search engines have a "link:" modifier that you might already be aware of. That can help you find paths leading to a particular page.
That's sort of how startups work, with equity grants to early employees. What you are proposing for larger businesses is simply impractical and so inconsistent with the current state of affairs that it really has no chance. To succeed, you're going to have to fundamentally shift our business culture. I see the ideal that you are striving for, but I can't fathom a path to get there from here.

Don't conflate annotations (a compile time construct) with how they can be used. They can be used in many ways. When used as runtime metadata they can be "magic".

Most of the people got me wrong. My muslim friend said that people stopped following him (muslim friend) and not about Snowden.

According to him the immigration can look at your social graph see how many Muslim friends your have can their system can raise red flags for you based on that so a lot of people avoid muslims.
Out of the hands of politicians and bankers and right into the hands of a script kiddie when the box that stores your wallet - be it locally or an exchange - gets hijacked and your wallet depleted. Or where nobody can get to it after you suffer catastrophic data-loss and you can't get to your wallet anymore.

If you want a hedge against a catastrophic collapse of the dollar (or whatever your local currency happens to be), there are innumerable other, better alternatives.

Besides, if there was such a collapse, who's to say that Bitcoin won't get dragged down with it? After all, more than likely you're using bitcoins to buy things that cost dollars.
How do you figure? Under my proposed rule, the people who own it now are free to meaningfully split it off from Comcast and operate it as a content production company, probably with Comcast as a customer. No national ownership involved at all.

I'm certainly talking about restricting what we allow privileged capital structures to do.

So what? A bias doesn't mean that these observations and theories are wrong. There can be non-conflicting, different ways of looking at the same thing. Usually they will have something in common (at least that thing itself, plus some of its attributes that are included in both aspects).

A bias doesn't preclude objectivity, either; "biased" is not a synonym for "subjective", and therefore not the opposite of "objective".

Yes I have. And easy is relative. Of course my back is a little sore some days, and I've worried about carpal tunnel/RSI in the past. But if you're looking at manual labor (it's called "back breaking" for a reason), there's really no comparison.

Life is hard no matter what. We don't need to look at people who have it objectively much harder than us and say "but these florescent lights give me a headache" to try and make our lives seem harder than they are, just like we don't need to look at people who have it objectively much easier than us and say "they have so much money and free time they couldn't possibly understand how hard I have it."
I think a lot of people misunderstood my comment. I obviously understand that there are basic questions that can be answered by documentation.

But my point was that for any community to survive, it should be welcoming to newbies and have an environment where people shouldn't be afraid to ask questions, even if they are "dumb" by some arbitrary metric. It's also a good way to convince someone of using your particular framework, programming language, etc.

A newbie may ask why should I use X, and if experienced veterans of the community give set Y reasons to use it, I feel that's way more convincing than "RTFM scrub". It's way less elitist too.

The parent comment likely meant private as in non-government (I doubt they were unaware Comcast is publicly traded). Being traded on a stock index has nothing to do with that, you're still wholly owned by private shareholders.

Property rights don't vaporize just because you do an IPO. By current law Comcast is not in fact a utility - they offer a utility product that is regulated by the FCC, there's a critical difference between those two concepts.

1) Well they'd have to fire their current employees and then move. Nobody is going to move their call center employees to Cleveland. They'd just fire/rehire.

I'd imagine their employees would rather have that job than no job. Otherwise they'd just quit right?

2) A lot of millennials would rather live near poverty in SF than living middle class in Kansas City. I think that is nuts, but it's no sweat off my back.

Ugh, in-app purchases are the worst thing to ever happen to the game industry. Unfortunately there are two types of IAPs:

1. Extra content (eg extra decks in Agricola, more levels, etc)

2. Pay-to-win purchases.

And there's really no way to distinguish between (1) and (2). I loathe (2) but (1) is where all the money is. The market has (sadly) spoken on this one. :(

Ya know, it just occurred to me that paying to win has precedent. The old arcade machines used to let you keep playing by inserting more money. Or some of them did anyway. This is analogous.

I've stopped even looking at new games. I just keep playing Bejeweled HD (Diamond Mine).

If there is any comment in this thread that should be read, that was it.

Attacking civilians is bad in any context and strictly illegal.

Declaring war then attacking government, military, and critical infrastructure after such a declaration is quite different from flying a plane of civilians into a civilian building out of nowhere. Equating the two is as disingenuous as comparing a loan shark beating someone for non-payment to someone getting evicted.
When you are talking about "Comcast" as a business entity, those are one and the same. Comcast has a natural monopoly because of its utility status, and a result of those network effects, can enjoy a free distribution network. You don't think that should be regulated?
