Ohh, good to know.
Was hit head on in my Subaru Impreza while turning left. I was going 15 Mph, the guy that hit me is estimated to have been driving at around 55 - 65 Mph, a Nissan Titan pickup truck, which already had about 2000 lbs on my car, on top of the stuff in the truck bed. I was shot back 40 ft from where the impact happened, here are the pictures of the aftermath:

The entire passenger compartment is completely intact. All doors still opened, front-end was completely destroyed, everything worked as it needed to. The engine dropped, the transmission shot underneath the car, drivetrain collapsed, front crumpled, dash shifted up and out of the way, airbags deployed, seatbelt caught me. But everything from the A frame to the C frame was completely intact. Doors opened without issues, and if you looked from the back you'd almost say it was a minor accident.

I walked away from the accident, much to the surprise of first responders that arrived on the scene and saw the carnage of my cars front-end.

I went back and bought another one, just a model year newer as soon as insurance sorted everything out. Modern cars are cages designed to protect their occupants, and I am very happy that is the case!
I'm bothered by the "no matter whose data it was", especially for multi-car crashes and for crashes without other parties being hurt.

In a multi-car crash, I'd like to see this: all data is available for defense in court. For offense, you get your own data and you also get the common subset of data from every car. If somebody's car provides nothing, then nobody's data can be used for offense.

Example why: Suppose your car records that you are going 20% too fast. The other person was going 150% too fast, but his car didn't record anything. It's not fair that he can use your evidence to prove that you are at fault. His failure to provide evidence lets him get away with much worse.

Don't forget who the biggest victims of background checks will be. Unemployable ex-cons. Anyone who's been convicted at any time in their life will have yet another door to employment shut in their face.

Maybe 10 or 20 years ago, New Zealand decided to ban anyone with a record of sexual offending from being a taxi driver. That sounds good and safe to the average Joe but one poor man, in his 50's I think, lost his job because he'd been convicted as a teenager of having sex with his then-underage girlfriend. They'd since been happily married and still were. Somehow that meant he was considered unsafe to drive people around in a taxi.

Background checks are a blunt and harsh tool to re-punish people for unrelated crimes.
Pursuing a PhD only makes sense if you want to go to the academia. Staying in the academia only makes sense if you genuinely love science to the point that financial reward is much less motivating for you.

(There are some shortcuts and exceptions to that. If you have PhD in physics or probability-related applied mathematics, you can become a quant trader; a common career path for those who decided that purely scientific pursuits are not their cup of tea.)

I have... a racquet in there. That's it. The hatch is insanely spacious, though I usually leave it empty because I transport my two goldens back there. But even with them in there, there's still room in the side cubbies for the mobile charging kit, and the under portion has even more room. Honestly, it's insanely great for storage.

I have always heard the loan should be 3x or less (so 100k salary = a 300k loan). Though that was back when interest rates were much higher and initially you would be paying mostly interest. Most people here are doing 5x or more.

As far as income, some engineers make 150k but then make close to another 150 due to bonus and RSUs.

The real question is will you make that for the next 30 years it takes to pay off the mortgage...

I wrote an article with my thoughts, and I've posted it to HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11652578

Feel free to comment there further if you want.

Peace :-)
I read the article yes, thank you for checking.

And to be perfectly clear:

>> he didn't think he'd had that, and only then saw "turbinate reduction" in the records

So what? That's just something that was in the article. Who knows what really happened. Maybe the guy knew and he forgot about it (it's called cryptomnesia). Maybe the article misreports it. Maybe, who knows what. You can't draw firm conclusions by something someone said once.

Now can I check with you whether you read what you wrote? Because it didn't make any sense at all. How can anyone who hasn't had turbinate reduction think they have a condition that is caused by turbinate reduction? That does not compute.
Ask HN: How do you like the trend of auto-playing videos on mainstream sites?
It seems that today's Internet is full of major sites, news, tutorial, entertainment, and others, that all play videos automatically as soon as you hit the page. This has aggravated me for some time. It is an annoying game I must play with my computer's mute button -- the only easy way I've found to stop the madness, rather than hunting for the Pause button.

Even when paused, the videos typically still buffer. If you are not interested in the video content, you must still waste the bandwidth to load it, despite having never told the page you wanted it (never pressed any Play buttons).

Is it me who stands alone with this grievance? Or are others bothered by this too? I feel like the net is becoming no better than basic network television.
Surely one could use this to previsualize stylistic changes before committing to repainting by hand?
Yikes. How sad.

Would be nice, for those who are overweight as well as those who suffer from the externalities of those who are overweight, for Governments to treat overeating/junk food like it does smoking and drinking - an addiction that should be discouraged through education and disincentives (tax etc.). Some do but it's obviously not effective.

Then there's the popular cultural angle. We disparage magazines, fashion Houses and websites that present clinically underweight models as the standard, the same should be applied for the clinically overweight.

Who is saying anything remotely like "if parents lie to their kids for long enough then we have a duty to make those lies come true"?

Unless you're claiming 7 billion people in the world were born in Canada, the most distinguishing fact about these two is obviously not that their parents pretended to be Canadian.
This is probably quite common among Grauniad writers.
>Government is all about restricting what you can do (don't steal, don't kill, etc) under the banner of providing for other members of society (provision of safety, protection under the law, etc).

No that is not what government is all about.

The just purpose of government is to coordinate usage of communal property, for the general betterment. So levying a split rate property tax, to pay for national defense, would be a just exercise of government power, because the average person is better off with a portion of land rents being spent for this purpose, than the land title owners collecting this portion.

Where there is justification for the government using force against an individual, it is in subduing and punishing those who who violate people's rights. Banning theft is okay. Banning marijuana usage is not. This is basic non-aggression principle stuff.

>where there isn't, and you don't happen to have enough wealth to survive.

Then I either ask for help or resign myself to my fate. Robbing people cannot be justified, and legalizing such a solution is not sustainable.

>once they start to be replaced by computers / robots the changeover is going to be astonishingly fast, so you're going to have an awful lot of them hit the job market very quickly, worldwide, and most importantly d) they're not particularly well paid so they are unlikely to have a whole lot of wealth to invest.

Then they better start saving now! Their financial situation cannot be made someone else's legal responsibility, or else you create a political system where political activism can net you resources coerced from others, and one where the consequence of your irresponsibility can be passed on to others against the other's will. It totally perverts capital allocation and incentives, and is rank authoritarianism.

>Lots of announcements of huge layoffs across multiple industry sectors but almost no announcements of large job creations

There are always huge layoffs in an economy with hundreds of millions of people.

Statistics on large scale trends contradict the OP. We have seen unprecedented automation over the last 40 years yet today in the US the unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since 1963. Similarly all around the world over the last 30 to 40 years we have seen rapid automation and hundreds of millions of jobs being replaced by machines, yet there has been massive growth in the total number of jobs, increases in wages, and improvements in standard of living, over the same time span.

Anything less than statistics on global trends in employment is totally invalid as evidence for technological unemployment, and unsusprisingly, the author provides none.

Ask HN: Freelance developer hit the ceiling: what to do next?
Hi there,

i've been a freelance developer on Upwork/oDesk for 7 years, and gradually i realized that my income stopped growing (some 4 years ago). I tried to do everything i could think of and yet, there was no further growth, i hit some ceiling at about $100K a year. Trying to figure out what was wrong, i did a study using Upwork API to find who the top developers are and what are they doing to get there, and the answer didn't please me: i am one of the very top developers (#10 at the time i did the study) and there isn't much room above. Yes out of hundreds of thousands.

Which makes me think that freelance sites aren't for me: it is that proverbial room where i am the smartest guy in, and when you are the smartest guy in the room, you are in the wrong room. If i am comfortably within top 0.1%, i will definitely make a lot more in the environment where i will be the average one.

Question is: where is that room? I am in the EU (can be anywhere except UK/Ireland). Anyone who had a similar problem please share your experiences, what did you do to grow from there?

One obvious idea is to do my own startup, which i am now trying, but that is another story. Trying, but i am not sure startups are for me, i'd better work for hire.
Basically the 5 billion will elect the Trumps.

The 1 Billion in Zuckerworld will have no idea why the Trumps are getting elected and what the hell they are trying to do their lovely VR worlds.

Zuckerberg will then step in and propose to build a wall to protect the 1 Billion, as long as they hand him over another 50 Billion to keep the world "open and connected".

The 5 Billion then get pissed. Guillotines get erected. Trump does his Robespierre bit. Zuckerberg does his world conquering Napolean bit. But at the end of the day France survives. And is better for it.

>> Indeed yellow to red is the range of hues that some human females might be able to discriminate better than males.

That's interesting indeed, because I was wrong about the male/female dichotomy in Indian traditional dress: yellows and reds (and also fuschias, turquoises and so on) are worn equally by males and females. Blues and purples are also very commonly worn by women. The difference is in the patterns and the shape of the dress, but not in the colours. Apologies for that- like I said I'm Greek, not Indian.

Additionally, the other cultures I mention have an equal spread of reds, yellows, and what have you among men and women, so again I don't see how any genetic thing is at play here.

Finally- All this doesn't say anything about why pink is "girly" only in specific parts of the world. If pink in particular was a genetic thing then it would be all over the place, not just in a few countries.

Definitely an interesting story, and I'm loving the other ones that come up in this comment thread.

But I have to say the article name is a little overbearing. USB serves the same purpose parallel ports originally did plus more. Yes, devices designed for the parallel port might have trouble playing with modern hardware, but you're just as likely if not more to have drivers that don't run on modern operating systems and are closed source so you can't do anything about it.
My parents taught me how to drive when I was around 13. By 15.5 driving was just driving. As a teen driver, I took a few chances, but was not a wild driver. I remember thinking, I just want my vechicle to last. Fooling around, and racing was just not my first priority?

It was a different time in history though. These days a parent would be jailed for teaching a kid how to drive in Sears parking lot after closing hours.

My mom was my driving teacher. Happy Mother's Day!
I found that this talk (selinux for mere mortals) was good for me to start off - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNoVgDqqJmM

After that, Red Hat's documentation was probably the next most useful thing for getting started; https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterp...

But mostly it was a lot of proding and poking whilst setting various things up that helped a lot, and remembering that when something doesn't work, to check selinux first.

The 'settroubleshoot-server' package for the Red Hat based distributions is also good whilst you're getting started in dev, as it takes the avc logs and 'guesses' what the likely cause of the problems you've had are, giving percentage likelihoods of the policies and booleans that might be causing problems.
What would possibly be funny and/or interesting would be you taking this opportunity to disrupt the whole funding business, not just in a kickstarter vein, but by some means that does help to reinforce your own values. Of course, pinboard's business model already does this, to some extent, but I'm sure you could do something innovative by exploring the next level of investment.
Is there anything like that for windows? or any command line tool?
Ask HN: Near 100% remote development setup?
I have a bunch of projects I am working on locally and pushing to a remote git location.

A CentOS VirtualBox VM with a PHP codebase in it, a couple of small Go hobby projects and a Java project.

I want to set up a fully remote configuration, to be able to change computers and only requirement is to have SSH keys to login to remote boxes.

I am fairly confident with Emacs and Vim, terminal workflow, tmux.

Installing the projects remotely is not an issue, but I do use Intellij Idea for Java and Phpstorm for PHP projects. Lately, Visual Studio Code has been just fine for PHP projects.

Places I work from mostly have good internet, but I will be travelling soon and it's going to be more problematic.

My experience so far is working with the code on terminal is OK, but there's always a slight delay, no matter how good the connection is. I assume if it's not perfect, the experience gets much worse. Is there any software that helps to alleviate this, queue based command execution of sort?

The ideal scenario is developing locally, building and running remotely (if and when the connection is good)

Does anyone have experience with this configuration? What is your workflow? Any caveats?
Show HN: Run your own A/B testing back end on AWS Lambda and Redis HyperLogLog
I was expecting the "web naming industry" to go through a full cycle of trends to stay unique and googleable. Trademarks, open-source libs, product names, languages, I was expecting that more and more strange names would become acceptable:

- random strings (xkcd) - longer as all 4-, 5- and 6-letter domains are reserved

- names (Levenstein distance) - More and more strange names, perhaps invented

- patterns (.ly, .io) - But that gets crowded very fast

- composed names: "Diffie Hellman"

- 3-part composed names: Will that be seldom in 2020 when all 10-letter domains are taken?

- Even a small sentence, as long as it's unique enough for Google to identify it.

But it seems I'm not good at predictions: Companies keep recycling the same names, the domains expensive, and VCs don't like founders who didn't put enough thought in their brand.
Why is there a sudden surge of articles pointing out delays, possible hickups for ramping up production etc recently? Is there an orchestration behind it? Sure, this is just an opinion piece, but still.

Genuinely interested.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I've always remembered this as

*Ugly* bags of mostly water.

Am I wrong?

And along with several other commenters here, I strongly dislike this sort of multi-direction navigation with no overall map showing what's there, where I've been, and what I haven't yet visited. Beautifully designed and presented, with no concern for the user experience.

A bit like the cars being described.

The car is designed | The presentation is
perfectly. | designed perfectly

Any crashes are the | Any inability to navigate
driver's fault. | is the user's fault.

EDIT: The Wikipedia page about this episode agrees with me, but other "quotation" pages have "ugly giant bags of mostly water." Does anyone have the episode to hand and the time to watch it? Am I paying too much attention to trivial details?

EDIT II: Found a script[0]: First reference is in an initial translation and is:

Ugly... Ugly... Giants...
Bags of Mostly Water...

Subsequently as the translator gets better it's:

Ugly Bag of Mostly Water

So there we are.

EDIT III: Wow - downvotes! No complaint, obviously people feel either that this comment is wrong, or doesn't belong. I'd appreciate knowing why people might think that, but I guess I'll never know. Which is a shame, I'd welcome the opportunity to learn.

"Commercially transport people" he said. Do you normally charge a fee when you transport your family? If so the. You are a taxi service and fall under the regulations.
Yeah, pretty ghastly.

Certainly do feel like I missed parts.
Of course. Being born in a country with economic and educational advantages helps though. Being born into a family whose socio economic circumstances means you grow up expecting to be successful helps even more.
Those are benefits.

There's an important distinction between benefits and perks, which is something you sometimes have to explain to startups looking to hire when you ask them about benefits.

I work with PLCs and read the paper the article links to and it looks legitimate. They do note that the PLC program is stopped for 10 seconds when the worm infects a new host which may or may not give it away depending on the process the PLC is controlling.

I guess I'll start putting a password on my programs, although they point out that the protection was all based in the IDE and could be removed by writing directly to PLC.
How the Global Elite Have Spent Eight Decades Being Injected with Sheep Fetuses
To add to that point. The following quote is from an old version of dlang.org[1]

> Can the power and capability of C++ be extracted, redesigned, and recast into a language that is simple, orthogonal, and practical? Can it all be put into a package that is easy for compiler writers to correctly implement, and which enables compilers to efficiently generate aggressively optimized code?

Although this has slightly differed now, one of D's core objectives was to make a better C++ from the ground up.
