I believe it is probably because most people here are programmers.

If you are a wildly successful programmer you are automating the work of others, and putting them out of job.

Most of them though are working for the man and dream of a world in which they are free to do whatever they want, their dream job, without the risk that is involved on it (not being able to support yourself and your family).

So what they ask for is a "safety Net" that dilutes the risks onto others.

It did not work in the past, with communism, but they believe with the advances in automation, it could work today.

Personally I believe in "testing everything" before actually doing it.
I think it's so funny that you're implying I'm racist, but I guess that's what happens when they are firmly rooted in their biased convictions

I'll just add that as a note, Canadians are the worse case of "I'm not racist, but" that I've ever seen.

Canadian immigration process is severely biased towards things like education level, criminal background and language knowledge. So unfair, right?!
> There is a place in the market for something that makes doing laundry a little less misserable.

Not really. If it makes laundry a lot less misserable I totally agree, but only 10x solutions win. If you make laundry 1.5x easier for me, I'm still not dropping close to $1k for the device. It needs to be life changing.
It's kind of a joke or a proverb I guess since both houses and funds are investments with a certain risk but houses also double as a place where you and your family can live ;-)

I'm not really sure how you can say that but again enjoy your zeal induced tunnel view. You can't get any more free than the BSDL short of public domain. And neither OS has any binary only parts or parts only available if you pay for them that I am aware of. So again i don't know how you view them as not having strong convictions about free software.

Also consider that dividend income from the stock market gets taxed each year before it can be reinvested. So, it does not compound as rapidly as the untaxed "yearly dividend" (aka price appreciation) of the house.

OTOH, as you say, the easy mobility associated with renting can be quite valuable to some workers. It's like, "what opportunities and profits am I foregoing by being tethered to a house here in this job market?" etc.

I think it's all very complicated and situation-dependent, as you point out. We need to predict the housing market, interest rates, the job market for our particular specialty, changes in tax laws etc in order to make an optimal decision. We're all forced into the role of economic forecaster just to make the most fundamental decisions about life.
It's a well-known "joke", and it clearly plays off the idea of this article wherein calculating 52! is, genuinely, done by calculating 54! then dividing by a correction factor.
Re: renting is wasting money.

Think of the math this way. A $1mil condo in New York generates approximately 45k/yr income, or 4.5% return on investment per year in rents. Subtract taxes and amortization and ask yourself, can you get similar returns elsewhere? You could for example purchase an index fund with the same $1mil and contribute the gains towards rent. Either way you are living "for free."

It is however risky not to diversify. So if the $1mil is all you have and it is all in the house, you are in danger. Additionally, property is not very liquid. In the downturn it would be difficult to exit. For these reasons, I believe house ownership only makes sense as a portion of one's assets. Renting makes solid financial sense otherwise.

In the conversation of rent vs. own people often forget to take the opportunity costs into account.

Because hackers tend to believe in the idea that automation and advanced AI causes a reduction of jobs and the destruction of middle class. This leads to a lot of rich people who control the AI and robots and a lot of poor who can't find jobs.

To counteract this, Basic income is a good idea because it allows for low risk job switching, furthering education and a small bureaucracy but extensive social safety net.
I quite like dokku, easy to setup and manage.
Right, they aren't setup to bill the damn thing. It's ridiculous.

chimeracoder seems to be saying that this is because of the complexity that comes from interacting with insurance companies and the public payers. Where I don't really buy that explanation is where there is in fact a fixed capital cost associated with the machine, and a certain number of uses of the machine per year, and a pretty fixed level of complexity per use (different scans will take a different amount of time, but each type of scan will be reasonably consistent from patient to patient). So they can take a spreadsheet and put in the capital costs and the operating costs and the staffing costs and boom, they have a ballpark figure for what each scan costs. It won't be the exact number for a given scan, but it will be closer than not having any estimate at all. I don't see where complexity on the billing side prevents them from doing what I describe.

A Gentle Introduction to the Basics of Machine Learning
Consumers like being able to run their old software, and in the nineties (and more recently) that meant running software dating back to the 16-bit era of computing. "Solving problems of an organizations own making" is a very goofy way of characterizing that.
In the case of routers, things are beginning to change because the FCC is requiring that manufacturers prevent users from modifying radio parameters to their satisfaction and the easiest way to do that is to prevent users from using OSS firware

The flip-side is that this isn't the sort of security most of us want, and the fact that router firmware is "insecure" from this perspective is what enables things like DD-WRT to exist in the first place. See also: iOS jailbreaking, Android rooting, console homebrew, etc.

The descriptions on that page are really weird. They're just descriptions looked up by category, but they try very hard to obfuscate it by being uh, personable and witty.

On it's own, that wouldn't be so bad (just quirky) but the style doesn't lend itself to accuracy or brevity and it's hard to tell which, if any, of the text was written by a person maintaining the project's page on the site.

E.g. in answering the question: "Can I make it?" with an overall score of "98%"

Yeah, you will probably be able to make this. Feels like this is almost complete, only thing missing is your spirit and some minor stuff.

Below that is the actual list of things that are missing, which contains one item (apparently worth "+2"): Difficulty is relative, especially with footprints I have never seen before.

I have no idea what this means (I suppose it's about PCB footprint? I think the first part of the sentence is just banter?), but anyway, the top text is just a representation of the 98% "Can I make it?" category, which a less witty website would describe as "Project progress" or something. The representation of 73% is Yeah, you might be able to make this. There's still quite some homework left, but it's doable for you, isn't it? And I didn't even quote the parts where they anthropomorphise the website...

To end on a less curmudgeonly note, apart from the copy-editing, the overall execution seems good; I like how they break down the total cost of the project.
Because moving a family of four is extremely disruptive for everyone, and it's very rare to have more than a year's security with a lease, even with a good relationship with the landlord. Not only that, but if your kids are school age, there's serious pressure to find a new rental in the same school area, which makes shopping for a new home that much harder.
While I agree with you financially, when you have kids, buying property is a safer vehicle to leave something behind for them. Sure, if the rent is low enough and you invest the difference of what you'd be paying for a mortgage, you may grow a much bigger capital in 25-35 years. However, most people are risk averse or simply do no understand how investing works, hence: they buy real estate.

My random advice from the internet:

0. The best thing you can say to your child is "I love you and I'm very proud of you." The second best thing is "Did you have fun?" The third best thing is "Where do you want to eat?"

1. "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy" applies to parenting [and I'm not implying children are enemies, even surly teenagers].

2. Your child is a person with their own independent life. Living vicariously through your child will happen. Learn how to recognize it and stop. Don't use "we" when referring to the events relating to your child's football team.

3. There is no hacking children. Each is an individual person not a mechanical system. Each grows at their own pace. Or rather paces, because their are many dimensions to growth and maturity both as an organism and as a person. Children tend to turn out ok despite our plans or our lack thereof.

4. Don't get caught up in comparing your child to other children. Don't get caught up in their getting ahead. There isn't a race. There isn't a prize for the first kid to reach first grade. Even if their were, nobody would inscribe it on a tombstone.

5. Get to know your child as a person because your child is an amazing person.

6. Everybody is still a child. Enjoy the excuse to act like one and just spend time playing. No matter how old your child gets or how mature, remember they're still a child. It's wonderful.

7. Practical advice given to me by Julie when my beloved was pregnant: For the next year, baby and mama are first and you are third. Unless you have a dog, then you are fourth.

Congratulations and good luck.

I'm most excited about integration testing on sites with http/2 deployed.
GNU was created on the basis of the GPL. It's not an accident that the "GNU stack had the GPL", it was a plan from the beginning to create a system which people could use in freedom. The toolchain would not exist if Stallman hadn't made the decision that user freedom was something he should work towards. And we wouldn't have any free software without GNU, because that's what the world was heading towards in the 70s and 80s. BSD would still be proprietary, since Stallman talked to Berkeley to convince the developers to release their improvements to Unix.
Do not forget maintenance, insurance & taxes that go along with that monthly nut. People used to always tell me I was throwing my money away on rent(until the "Great Recovery"), but I've never had to pony up thousands of $$$ for a new a/c unit or replacement appliances. As always, YMMV.
The story of Switzerland's direct democracy is exaggerated. There is no such thing as a complete direct democracy, even if a few individual questions are decided by popular vote.

The only questions you can decide by referendum is things that either have no budgetary consequences or things that set a long term political direction (join the EU, basic income, ...).

Anything that has a shorter horizon needs to be tightly coupled to the budget and you can only adopt a complete budget, not decide on individual questions. Once you accept that you only choose between budgetA and budgetB for the next year/term - you also accept that those who write those budgets as propositions are "parties" and you have arrived at parliamentary, not direct, democracy. Most democracies already have referendums on things like this, but still aren't "direct democracies".

In short - the Swiss have just slightly more referendums than the rest, but they too have a parliament with parties that propose complete, coherent budgets. I like the idea of slightly more referendums but no country that has a budget with thousands of expenses and thousands of different taxes could be governed only direct votes on each of them (perhaps most importantly because no one is interested in voting on thousands of issues).

I have seen a lot of tossed-off racism on HN before, but this is the first time I've ever seen it deployed against the Irish.
to be robust you need to deal with overflow and underflow and also pesky differences in domain.

overflow breaks (x + y) / 2. where x and y are large
underflow breaks (x / 2.) + (y / 2.) where x and y are small.

and of course the problem where x is outside the exponent of y. But one of these values gets treated as though it were insignificant and effectively 0.
Question, how does Switzerland avoid becoming more polarized country with so many referendum questions each year?

In the US, many vilify their political opponents as crazy and/or morally inferior. This has happened around referendums. We also try to get civic organizations to adopt politicized codes of conduct and have politicized social media campaigns to kick people out of civic organizations. I hope Switzerland doesn't have those horrors.

> Case in point, it's only 5 years since Backbone came out. Backbone! And if feels like we've had 3-5 transitions already (Angular. No wait, Ember. No React. Oh, and add Flux. Actually, go Redux.).

And yet you can use any/all of those as desired, still - Backbone's still chugging along, being a mature framework at this point - Angular still has a huge community - Ember definitely still exists, and I'm starting a project using it.

What you're possibly missing out on is hacky "components" and "integrations" with whatever CSS framework, protocol or SaaS service is popular this week - but all of them have pure javascript versions which you can use just fine in any framework you want.
