The government is already sort-of in that business, according to the BBC:

> As the law stands, employers can dismiss staff who fail to live up to "reasonable" dress code demands, as long as they've been given enough time to buy the right shoes and clothes.

> They can set up different codes for men and women, as long as there's an "equivalent level of smartness".

Speculating here: One might be able to argue in court that for a receptionist, high heels are a greater level of smartness than whatever the male dress code is.

I have a Linux box and a Windows machine.

Since I do a lot of .Net stuff my work is done on a Windows machine for obvious reasons. The rest of my front-end work is usually done on my Linux box.

Most corporate places I've worked at are Windows shops. Even in those big corporate places, there are only around 1% who use Macs.
I feel like this is based more on wishful thinking than a sober examination of the facts.

“if you can't define what files have what encoding” — I can, but not by name or extension. See this:

“you can do is apply the binary filter I posted to all files and write a script” — yes, I know git is open source and very flexible. But Unicode is 20 years old standard widely accepted by the industry. Git should support Unicode out of the box, without my custom scripts.

Yes, but "quality" is both vague and subjective, not only will different people evaluate aspects of quality differently, different people will legitimately have different views on what components "quality" of a link has. I don't think it's unreasonable to consider the source as a one factor in overall quality (if nothing else as a proxy for things the rater is unable to evaluate about the article in isolation.)
Oh come on. Did the regulation in the financial system protect "the customer" against a massive loss of jobs and against having to subsidize a bailout of the entire industry in 2008? Did it protect people from banks who were betting against them(Goldman Sachs.)?

I have news for you all of these exotic and toxic investment vehicles that these investment banks cook up, largely because a previous loophole was close are essentially high flying risky startups inside the context of the bank.

Deposits and retirements savings did not survive in the last financial meltdown and this had nothing to do with fintech, these were white-glove investment houses. So yeah people do want protection, protection against this established racket. The established racket is the largest offender.

This looks cool and the price is appealing. For me personally, the range is a bit short and 30mph doesn't cut it - in some cities it'd work, London is full of 50mph roads.

I'd love to buy a Zero (linked lower in the thread) if I had a safe place to store it or some good insurance (motorcycle theft is common in the UK).

WRT weather and other concerns - frankly, the time saved by riding a motorcycle in a congested city blows that out of the water, IMO. In conditions other than gridlock you can maintain an average speed ~50% higher than all other traffic.

I'd love to see electric bikes go mainstream because I think they address almost all of the concerns people have about cycling (sweaty, no good for the unfit/disabled, etc).

You can park 4-5 scooters in a car parking bay, tuck them away at the side of footpaths and in front of stores, if the roads became populated with them it'd possibly double or triple throughput for single riders.

I currently own a 125cc motorcycle and it's a godsend. Especially in the summer months it turns commuting into a joy, and reduces the time taken to perform errands by 5x over public transport (there are plenty of places I can ride to in 20 mins or take a combination of buses and trains to get to in 1.5 hours).

I think living in a large metro area for an extended period of time would be unbearable for me without owning a motorcycle. Most cities have radial transport networks - concentric journeys outside of the core have ridiculous routing as a result.

The Princeton Bitcoin class and companion text are very thorough. One of the crypto-currencies of note highlighted during the class was zerocoin, which adds a layer of anonymity to the blockchain. The Zcash implementation of zerocoin is currently launching in alpha. It may prove an interesting way to witness the progress of a crypto-currency being bootstrapped in real-time. As well as gaining insight into cutting-edge zero knowledge technology, that some believe may become standard in all future crypto-currencies.

Former B&W technician: All film is developed in complete darkness; it it sensitive to all wavelengths. The B&W photo paper is not sensitive to red, which is what allows you to have a dim red light on while printing enlargements.

And yes, it takes time to learn to navigate the room and work in pitch blackness. Gave me a lot of respect for the blind. At school, we could develop one roll at a time, allowing for the use of small containers which would let you work within a dark bag for a small period of time. At the photo shop, they had a machine for processing film in batches of 10+, which required the entire room to be dark while loading it.

Modern film processors frequently don't even require the dark box (unless the film canister is in really bad shape) - just stick it in, close the door, push a button. Remarkably slick.

It's hard to say what "heavy/investigative reporting" means in the context of Buzzfeed. I don't expect we're talking multi-month government corruption investigative journalism. But a couple of weeks to a month is still pretty reasonable for a 6000 word story that requires setting up and conducting a bunch of interviews and doing other research.

My rule of thumb has generally been about 1000 words a day not counting any heavy research so your numbers seem pretty reasonable.

Furthermore, freelancers rarely have a fully booked schedule and they need to spend time on tasks like prospecting for new work.

In a prior life, we'd get paid very nicely on a daily basis for consulting and other custom/semi-custom work. But the reality was that we weren't actually on the clock very much and spent a lot of time maintaining the knowledge base that let us do those jobs when they came along.

Ask HN: Would you want to do projects and get personalised feedback?
Hi everyone,

So Udacity is a really awesome place to learn coding, and has projects you can complete and get personalised feedback if you’re on the subscription plan ($200 a month). But it is on the little more expensive side.

If there was a platform where you could solely complete projects whilst using the resources that are already available to learn coding (like Codecademy, Udemy, Udacity’s free courses)- and get personalised feedback for the projects ($5-$30 for each review/feedback), would that be something anyone would be interested in?
Google Chrome's business model / goals are (were?) providing the fastest and best browser experience available; they were given green light by the Google organization for a simple reason, faster internet = more ad views = more revenue for google.

This sort of adaptivism has got to go. First of all, nothing is there for any reason; it just is. Evolution is an ad hoc process where things happen because they need to, and they happen based on expediency. There are many facets of life that escape adaptive constraint - selection has a limited reach.

This comment supposes that aging protects cells against cancer; I think this presumption is based on the antitumor properties of telomeres, which impose the 'Hayflick limit' on cellular division.

It is presumed by humans that this mechanism may have some adaptive role in tumor suppression. However: this is not why it appeared (all eukaryotes have telomeres, even unicellular ones), so any antitumor properties are an ancillary benefit.

It is incorrect to assume it impute reason to evolution. It seems highly likely that aging rests close to the border of selective influence, and it is highly presumptive to imagine it is governed by consequence.

I always recommend very specific resumes and cover-letters written against the job description.

Imagine being a hiring manager, getting 20 resumes that all look "good" and one that is obviously specifically for this job.

For the resume, keep the design of it super-simple and modular (so you can swap in pieces as necessary). Make sure to use every keyword you see in the job-description (you could be being auto-filtered by software or recruiter that doesn't really understand your resume -- both use keywords) I personally also bold them and repeat them in every place it would be relevant to do so.

The cover letter is a writing sample where you are making an argument for why they should interview you. You know the part where they say "Excellent communication skills" -- this is the part where you show that. It should be impossible for you to send this letter to anyone else and have it make sense.

If you do this, you probably can't apply to many jobs -- instead be choosy about where you apply -- pick the places where the letter and resume you send can be a bingo for the job.

If you get in touch, I can give more specific pointers. Show me a job description that you thought was ideal for you and the resume/letter you sent. I can give you an example of mine.

2. Self-driving is not going to happen in China the way it happens in the US. The roads are full of pedestrians, e-bikes, people breaking any sort of nominal rule or law... it's too accident prone. Plus you have the extra challenges of the politically accuracy-challenged navigation systems. No, I don't think this reason floats.

3. Maybe partly. Locking down stable long term CNY income via a one time USD investment seems like it could even be seen as long term corporate tax planning.

For developer workstations, we get good results from Samsung drives. We run Intel enterprise class drives in servers and they're fine, don't even have to think about them.

We've pretty much stopped buying spinning drives, with a few exceptions where we need lots of capacity and don't care about performance.
