For those interested in the relevant history that lead the US to this point, may I suggest American Character by Colin Woodard [1].

The ideology that drives the oligarchy (and arguably modern libertarianism) is descended from that which informed the founding of the Carolina and West Indian slave colonies.

Colin Woodard's previous book, American Nations was the most interesting book I read last year.

No. As long as you concede that some pumpkins can be unambiguously called a pumpkin, then you just ask which is the first object on the list that can't be.

I don't like the fact that bitcoin basically relies trading electricity for money in a nonsensical way.

> It's still legal in the UK for a company to require female members of staff to wear high heels at work against their will. Dress code laws should be changed so that women have the option to wear flat formal shoes at work, if they wish. Current formal work dress codes are out-dated and sexist.

It follows this case: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-36264229

> Temp worker Nicola Thorp, 27, from Hackney, arrived at finance company PwC to be told she had to wear shoes with a "2in to 4in heel".

Judging by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11687660 the answer is 'yes'.
In my experience developers are usually pretty consistent in estimating as long as they're in an environment that they have some experience. I don't mean they're usually right, I just mean that they're usually consistently optimistic or consistently pessimistic and by a relatively constant factor.

Also, and again as long as it's an environment your familiar with, the Donalds (the known unknowns) are usually relatively predictable i.e. you know the sort of things that will bite you and the sort of impact they have.

So I can usually estimate a project of 9-12 months duration to +/- a week or 2 as long as I've done at least a couple beforehand.

BTW that's not to say I always deliver on time. Depends entirely on who guessed the deadline and resourcing. But I can usually be able to be both annoying and smug by letting senior management know upfront how late they'll be and by how much.

Also worth pointing out that it's not because I work in a relatively static industry. Far from it.
But if you have systematic errors then it makes sense to account for them. I do find it amusing that, in technical matters, most devs do this without thinking but seem to have a blind spot when it comes to planning or general project management.

In a philosophical sense, it is not helpful to perceive the difference between "ideas" and "execution" as a binary reduction on two sets. Instead, I view it as the idea-execution gradient.

The theoretical limit on an idea-first mindset is 'literally only your idea matters. It doesn't matter how you execute it.' The theoretical limit on an execution-first mindset is 'literally only your execution matters. It doesn't matter what the idea is'. We can represent your stance on this gradient with a rational number coefficient, M. What you believe Matters.

If you have a low M, you are idea-first. If you have a high M, you are execution-first.

Let's assume the existence of a hypothetically Platonic M. By definition, founders of the most successful startups have a Platonic M.

My point was, I believed the Platonic M is currently far lower than what the Valley rhetoric advocates for.

I've been wondering about that. They say you can use it to control lights/netflix. If you don't want 10s delay it has to do wakeups every 30s or so depending on the wifi setup to stay connected to the network. And wifi transmission is quite power expensive. If it does that, I wouldn't give it more than a year (maybe more like a few months). If it doesn't, the latency must be terrible.
From my perspective, semantic web (if we are talking about the same things) failed not because of mobile, but for a variety of other reasons. When semantic web was taking off, the web was very heterogeneous, and web authors could not be expected to write proper tags. In addition, it received little support from mainstream search engines like Google, and for good reason; while the intention of semantic information was to help indexing and other agglutinative tasks, by being invisible to the user, a malicious web page might misrepresent the nature of their content.
One can be correct and have an opinion at the same time. They're not the same thing.

Even if you don't agree with an opinion, that doesn't make it wrong. You may be even more biased the other way.

If you are not correct, then your opinion is not worth very much. See: birthers, anti-vaxxers, chemtrails, intelligent design, faked moon landing conspiracists etc.

I am Italian, I live abroad and mostly speak English since ~8 years. The "issue" I face is that the dialect version of my Italian feels easier and easier, but I believe I still kept a good written version of the language. Few years back I spent 1 year in Spain - I had serious issues communicating in Italian during that time. I think as long as your foreign language is very different, you are good, if it's similar, not so much.

Edit. Ok, to tell the truth, I don't feel very compelled to maintain a good spoken Italian. On the other hand, I do want to keep my written version as sharp as possible.
As someone in Europe, with 10+ years experience, I'm seeing a LOT less in the way of serious recruiter outreach (not spam) and opportunities than 5 or 10 years ago (when I had correspondingly less experience). Just one data point of course and could be personal circumstances, but it looks pretty dire here outside one or two tech hubs.
I guess I can see the case for using Go for something basic like CRUD that you just want to "crank out". But to my mind the kind of code you can program that way shouldn't be something you program at all - rather you write a system that handles it all generically (e.g. Rails/Django have generic model editor forms). Maybe in a business where programming is incidental it makes sense? But certainly it would destroy any kind of "hitting the high notes" business.
No, it wouldn't have. That's the point of why they improved you. By that point there was no one else available to do it.
Ask HN: How do I transfer from Freelancer to a PM?
Hello.

I have been doing freelance web development on and off for three years doing various things, main focus being full-stack development. I didn't make it full-time job as I was studying at the uni.

Now I want to get a real, so to speak, job but I think coding is not what I am looking for in the long term. While freelancing, the most enjoyable part was collecting business requirements and making roadmaps for the development. With my limited experience I feel I am good with people skills despite being a bit of an introvert. This lead me to a belief that I should seek an entry-level Project Manager or IT Consultant job, these however require at least a little experience in hierarchical organization managing people or at least being a scrum master. That being said I feel like I could prove myself.

Do you think that this is the path I should be looking for? How do I convince them I am the right person? Both Black and White hat techniques are welcome.

Typically langauge services are decoupled from compilers. The 1% case still dominates how compilers functions. Furthermore, typically compilers are not deamons and build systems would take care of caching etc. Do you have other examples of consolidated tooling like that? It seems like a good idea but I don't think it's the standard thing yet or that everyone thinks it's a good idea.

"the temptation will be to grab at the first thing that offers you something" I actually think this is a good idea, since it will give you a chance to pay the bills while you take your time to find the best next step in your career. Also, like it or not, there is real bias against hiring the unemployed and you are in a better position to negotiate compensation when you are currently employed.

Where do you store videos and music you work on? Where you do you store containers or vms or build artifacts for software development? Prices of SSDs have to come down at least 5 times to be in any way comparable (10x actually to match $/GB but 5x would be huge).

We absolutely need bigger drives because we will have bigger files. Think video (4k, 8k, VR, HDR), archive of operating system images for development, data to use for ML, NixOS style immutable operating systems, all the data from your personal IoT gadgets. Readily available larger storage gives us many benefits:

1. requirement for OS stack to adapt (think ZFS)

2. doing things we wouldn't consider possible at home before

3. more complete backups with history

By enabling new things for the masses, we enable the development of new stuff by people in their free time.

Let's not mix tablet/phone use of storage with that of computers with keyboard+mice.
> I'm sure there's several scenarios that demand huge amounts of storage - e.g. storing HD series, etc - but I'd argue that it isn't mainstream in the greater scheme of things.

That was my point; almost nobody is storing HD series anymore because people want to (and in many cases legally are only able to) stream them instead.
My lasting (but maybe wrong) impression of the semantic web was that it was basically about interconnecting things. I think when focus shifted to mobile, where closed app store with isolated apps were the norm, that idea became less practical. But I can't say if it was because of mobile or just that the companies "grew up" and this was then reflected in not adopting the semantic web and how mobile was designed.
Maybe not fraud, but the recklessness is pretty staggering.

Good post. Random thoughts from me on reducing layoff potential:

When hiring people, hire people that can work in many different roles/projects, think about hiring a person that will improve the business, not just someone to do a particular thing. This is not saying hire marketing/programmer/designers, but rather, know that a software developer can learn anything in a few weeks and is not just a developer in language XYZ.

Hire people when you are really hungry for people and can't handle what you need to do with the number of people you have in a particular area, and you expect that need to be sustained for the long term.

Avoid the idea that you can hire contractors for short term things, when contractors is really a euphism for disposable employees. Push management to hire full time employees.

Make sure there is available revenue and burn rate to cover people. Even if you need help, hiring people when you are in dire straits may be bad for them if finding a new job is difficult. (Still, providing jobs == good).

When projects end, give these folks new jobs and give them time to learn new things, rather than getting rid of them and then hiring new people for the next project that may be booting up in just a few weeks.

Larger companies seem rather guilty of thinking a person just is hired for a department/project, and somehow thinks it's ethical to shut down or shrink whole departments. They should instead look about how to have lots of potential ideas in the pipeline for the future and move people around better.

> Was it just dumping it into a Stripe account, and then any refunds for situations where there weren't enough orders would be manually processed?

I'd love some confirmation on this too. I had a protracted email exchange with some members of the Stripe support team which I didn't find favourable. Mainly because they didn't understand my actual business. But it lead me to choose a competitor who was actually happy to work with me.

Their main issue was the amount of refunds that I may be getting due to the business model. At the time of the email exchange I hadn't even started to operate!

So with respect to refunds. What's the operating procedure? If you get too many, do they suddenly close your account? In my instance, if my current provider were to close my account. I'd be out of business, instantly!

That's why I didn't go with Stripe. Which is a shame, as I wanted to use them, as I heard some good things about them.

Thanks

Thanks - this is the bit I was un-/miseducated about.

To this day, I thought infrared → heat and heat → infrared.

Some people have mentioned this before but I forgot who they were: The blockchain is very likely to disrupt the financial sector, specifically the whole industry which is now in place for settlement/clearing when transferring financial contracts (shares, bonds, CDS, etc). A unified API and single public ledger could really bring costs down for those transactions and that's what a lot of financial institutions are interested in. I don't think it will have much value as a reserve currency, especially since it relies on computational power (so the amount of control is mostly based on economics - ie. the availability of cheap electricity and APUs) rather than political power.
