Students in Korea study until midnight or later since middle school. I've done that before I moved to US. Most of my friends did it.
You do that for six years until you are eligible to take the nationwide exam that is held once a year.
Similar to SAT, but with many more subjects and more depth.
If you are sick or feeling nervous on that day, then good luck. Take it again next year or a year after.
It's very common that you end up taking the exam two or more times because you are not satisfied with your score, which means you have to study on your own after high school graduation for another year or more.
If you are a boy, you have to serve in a military for roughly two years. Most of students go to army during their college years, so they usually have 6 or more years of college.
When you are near graduation, start looking for jobs.
Not so easy. Unlike in the US, as a new grad, you can apply for jobs once a year for big companies like Samsung. It's a yearly thing just like the college entrance exam.
And, you have to take an exam and pass to even submit your resume.
Oh, popular companies share the same date for their exams, so you can only apply for one.
Make a choice before you apply. It's to lower the competition (or so that you cannot have a competing offer to drive up your salary).

On your resume, you have to put things like:
- your picture: they grade how you look. some people do plastic surgery for this.
- your age: you have to be fresh out of college. over 30? no chance.
- your family info (not sure if still required): what does your father do? how much does he make? where do you live? is it a rent or owned?
- list goes on.

Now if you are really lucky and you get into those big companies, then they will pay you $40k-$50k a year which is very high compared to small companies where $20-$30k is average.
But, now you have no life. There is no such thing as work life balance.
There's no equity compensation in Korea. You get only the salary and bonus.
Cost of living and housing price is very high (avg $400-500k in Seoul).
You need to slave away the next 30 years to get out of debt. Then, you must retire at age 60. (retirement age is set in stone and you basically get fired).
Now do you really want to give birth to your children who will probably end up living the same life as yours?
I think this somewhat explains the extremely low birth rate and very high suicidal rate.
I did not say Google is a problem, I said that either the current mechanism or the proposed mechanism would present a problem for companies (such as Google) when hiring new staff.
The input sizes in the diagram appear to be wrong:

It should be 24x24 in the conv. layer, not 28x28, and so on.
I understand your position, but I guess I've failed to communicate mine effectively - because you don't seem to understand me when I've said in two different ways that your nature argument is tautological.

To my mind, the judgments that Comey represents in his report simply aren't believable ("there was no intent"). The Patraeus prosecution is a good example of a case that was very similar in many respects.

Also, technically, in cases of gross negligence (which is surely applicable in this case), intent doesn't matter to the law. It's still criminal. It might have different penalties attached, but it's still criminal.
How much is needed for something to qualify as "significant wealth"? You seem to be dismissing differences in salary as unimportant, so it's fine to take a pay cut in exchange for even a small chance at significant wealth, because that's all that matters.

Let's say the salary difference is $50,000/year. Over 20 years, that's maybe half a million dollars, post tax, that you gain by ditching options. Maybe that's not significant to you, but it seems to me to be a pretty rational decision to prefer a relatively certain half million dollars over a low chance of some substantially higher payout.
The last startup I worked at went through a merger. In the process, they created a new company and gave all employees stock in the new company, on the same vesting schedule as the options had been on in the previous companies.

They organized things and provided help to ensure that all US employees were able to make a Section 83(b) election for our stock in the new company as soon as it was created. (This means we paid taxes early based on the current value (zero) instead of potentially paying much larger taxes in the future.)

Those two points are not necessarily connected. People can and do, do a good job at things even if they're just doing it for the money.

What writing are you thinking about? Personally, I can't think of anything that was better.
If the Moon Was Only 1 Pixel
I've found another document from the European Commission that seems to say that the 2001 directive actually also requires that all EU member states use summer time, not only when if they use it.

http://ec.europa.eu/transport/facts-fundings/studies/doc/201...

"European policy measures began to be introduced, leading to the present day situation, where Directive 2000/84/EC
requires Member States to put their clocks forward one hour on the last Sunday of March and change them back on the last Sunday of October each year."

And 11.2 (page 10):
"The cumulative effect of this succession of laws is
that all Member States are now obliged to observe summertime, starting it on the last Sunday of March and ending it on the last Sunday of October."

Ask HN: Is JavaScript the first truly universal language?
Write once, run anywhere has been a dream since as long as I remember, and I have been developing since 1997. Java was probably the closest we came (before the rise of JavaScript), but there was several other attempts.

JavaScript runs on practically every architecture, on client and server, and is even poised to become a major language for embedded systems and hence IoT. It's popularity shows no sign of slowing down. Like CSS or IMAP, it may not be a particularly good technology (though it is being improved with transpilers and the like), but it has become a de-facto standard that will be very hard to replace.

The tech world is always churning through standards. Has fortuitous circumstances combined to make JavaScript the universal language that has been desired for so long?
One might say the subjects taught have no bearing on the purpose of school. I would say some subjects have more utility than others. But schools primarily provide babysitting and psychological conditioning services, so that we are ready for the grind when it's our turn.

I think this casts my explanation in a very ungenerous light, I'm not really such an absurd person. Think of how a reasonable engineer would do it.

Speaking as an engineer, some of us have a tendency to want to refactor and polish code past the point where we should ship it and move on to something else. Management also has a tendency to view refactoring as unproductive and hurtful to the company's bottom line. Both are very reasonable positions. In most cases, the best strategy tends to be in the middle somewhere.

The auto_ptr class is gone from C++17 because it is error-prone to use it and there are better alternatives. However, I don't need to explain the intricacies of auto_ptr to my boss. I can just say something like, "We want to keep up with the latest industry best practices and standards. Some simple changes to our code base will reduce the chance for bugs and reduce support costs, and make it easier to develop new features."

The fact that auto_ptr has been removed from the standard entirely sends a stronger signal that you really should stop using it. Which is a good signal to send.
Glad to be of service. If you'd never heard of GPS time before, I can totally see how you could understand it the other way.

"My favourite part was when James said that he's started off by just wanting a better understanding of how logic gates worked, and it just escalated from there."

That's hilarious. Maybe a common thing. My posts on analog computing, esp neural or general-purpose, started similarly. I noticed analog and digital cell development used similar tools. Also that they used to build computers that way. The rabbit hole followed.

Huh, somehow I didn't know about apt-get source. That's really nice.
are these "legacy inhabitants" or whatever the gentrifiers refer to them as?
Agreed. I just wonder if we'll ever actually be able to achieve a complete post-scarcity world. I'm optimistic, but not completely so.

There's also a question of whether there is such a thing as "basic human nature" at play. As long as we are driven to compete with each other for access to the most desirable mates, etc., it seems there might always be some cause for humans to attempt to stomp on one another in various ways. Even if there was no shortage of material goods, food, water, etc., I suspect we'd still find some kind of basis to compete on, which could still lead to conflict.
You may also consider using this tool to drive traffic to another product/service. It's advertising but you would benefit more than slapping on some Adwords. I think micropayment is a bad strategy, adding any payment/signup friction to a service like this and users are going to bounce

> Riding to work the other day, I heard about protests occurring in France. Workers were complaining about potential changes in labor regulations that would make their jobs less secure. In brief, French workers like it the way things are: they can’t be pushed beyond 35 hours a week, and employers’ ability to terminate them is subject to a drawn-out, torturous and uncertain program. They also like their lengthy vacations and the extensive benefits provided by the state. The question is where the ability to pay for above average benefits will come from if neither the hours worked nor the productivity per hour is above average. Governments and regulations can’t produce prosperity.

This memo neatly glosses over where the productivity gains in the last 100 years have gone, and makes it seem as if it's fair for wages of the American worker to stagnate while the megawealthy get all the profit. If a worker in 2016 can build a car in a-fourth the time it took a worker in 1935 to build a car, why is it implausible for them to work 35 hours a week with better benefits and more vacation time?
I'm not sure I agree with that. Basic income is much easier for the government to setup than basic housing. And people could just use their basic income to get housing.

I have really never understood the confusion over why this doesn't get implemented. It has always seemed clear to me that there's not enough demand for change, and investors and founders want things to stay the way they are. It's a really, really good deal for them.
> Alternatively, the businesses owners in their distract want more work and are willing to donate to get it

It's either:

Congress members are voting for job programs for their constituents so they can convince their constituents to re-elect them

Or:

Congress members are voting for job programs for their donors so they can raise money to buy advertising so they can convince their constituents to re-elect them

In either scenario, the endgame is about the voter.
> So what? Those trade agreements were made under the assumption that they'd be good for America. Now that we know they're bad for America, the assumptions under which they were made are invalid.

Do we know that? It's easy to quantify slower income gains, but harder to quantify lower costs for goods and services. I'm not even sure what the closes proxy would be. Inflation?

>We're a net importer. Tariffs in other countries would only really hurt if we did a ton of exports.

History has shown that tariffs do result in counter-tariffs, which end up being unprofitable for both sides, driving up costs.

> Lower taxes and cut the size of government. Stop printing money and allow interest rates to rise.

100% agree.

> A tariff is not a wall. Trade would still take place and there'd still be interdependence.

But it is a barrier, starting as a low hurdle and tending to rise over time.

> An American who used to be unemployed or paid minimum wage, but has gotten a much better job with an greatly increased salary because he no longer has to compete with desperately poor people who will accept pay far below the US minimum wage.

those are extremely biased unemployment rate. It's been known that unemployment rate conducted by government is totally a bullshit with too many restrictions to be categorized as "unemployed".

There are many articles (written in Korean) that list those restrictions, for example:

For young people, more realistic unemployment rate is 34.2% or 1.8million according to this article:

Ask HN: Where are the end-to-end encrypted DBaaS services?
Database as a Service offerings like Firebase seem to be gaining popularity as a way to outsource backend administration, scalability, security, etc., and they seem like a great fit for apps that just need to sync key-value data to the cloud with little or no translation or processing.

Similarly, there's been a lot of buzz around end-to-end encryption (e.g. WhatsApp, Telegram, Symphony) as a way to restrict access to private data without relying on a trusted third party.

Given these trends, why haven't we seen an end-to-end encrypted DBaaS yet? Is there no significant market for it? Are there features (e.g. analytics) that are infeasible to provide without sharing keys with the service provider? Or are there already better ways to realize the above benefits without such a service?
How is a "work-free world" even possible? There are always problems to solve, who will solve them? Finding and applying solutions is work and one or more people must do it.

Getting paid is orthogonal to the effort. Even if performed voluntarily there is still work that needs to be accomplished.

Even having fun is a hell of a lot of work in all proportion. It's no mystery, work is the implication of existence.
I think "people who are homeless because they can't afford homes" and "people who are homeless because they voluntarily enjoy living on the street" are two different problems and should be addressed differently.

In particular, I have no problem criminalizing the latter if we can address the former. Criminal laws are supposed to prevent mass unpleasant behavior in public. Pooping in the street is not a lifestyle choice we should encourage or support. (though "having public toilets" might be a better solution)
The problem with startup RSUs is that you are taxed when the RSUs vest. If there is no liquidity (which is the case for most startups) then you're paying taxes on RSUs which you can't sell and may never be worth anything.

You can still do remote work from a cheap location, or stay and have FU money.

Giving up 500k in salary for a chance to make 500k in stock is a terrible bet. Alternatively, only save up 100k in 10 years, go to Vegas and bet it all at slightly negative odds. You can set things up for a 20% chance of getting ~500k which is better odds than many startups while still having more day to day money.
If you're saying that we need to specifically provide free housing to the homeless and/or poor then that's a program that some cities have already tried with mixed results

Where can I read about these mixed results?
I don't know, I come to the opposite conclusion - some people simply do not want to be "upstanding" (or even minimally participatory) members of society, whether due to mental illness, severe drug addiction, or simple preference. I don't see how giving them "free" money will change that.
> I think hardcoding exceptions and edge-cases like Tactician cards would vastly increase the number of calculations you'd have to make

The current algorithm is exhaustive, so one run will generate all of the possible solutions to the given deal. Once all the solutions have been computed, the AI could run through the top n solutions and pick the best. This way the number of calculations is additive, not multiplicative. That's still thinking per-round though (not at the game level). It should be possible to determine if there are enemy units within striking distance of the base and deploy counterunits (so your eggs aren't all in the same basket of the top lane).

I haven't encountered any tactician cards yet (confession: I haven't even reached Hate Bit, I've been so focused on the coding/blogging and it's easier to debug against Fancybot).
Less paperwork presumably. Everyone already knows what Russian summer time is. If Russia unilaterally bumped time zones that would require a lot of administrative work.

Honestly, if the sun is such a big deal then having summer office hours would make more sense than changing time-zones.
And they don't even need to close them. They can just request that data be shared with other countries for the purpose of identifying tax avoidance.

This idea that the future will consist of everyone using tax havens is ridiculous. Most ordinary people are scared of the taxation impacts of using them (and rightly so).
Yea, I have been thinking of selling Windows to a non profit foundation for a while now.
Exactly. They can be installed on a FPGA. Plus, slow as old systems are, one might even be able to build connections to them into individual, logic gates or virtual transistors. Speed difference between FPGA and older hardware might cover performance losses.

And you still get blinkenlights per gate or transistor in emulated design.
You read the linked discussion in my post and realized that what is now called "Google for Work" had different names and at one point was also called "Google Apps for Family" and a lot of families purchased the service to give their family a custom domain.

It turns out that even before these recent family plans, Google had a used and loved family product.

The paying users for that product, now cannot use any of the family offerings.

And all of this still stems from Google's arguing that a Google account has access to everything Google provides: "One account. All of Google.". It says that now, today... even though it's clear this isn't true.

In digging around to answer nosegoes question to find one instance of someone getting on the registry for peeing in public I found this site. It's interesting to see a compilation of bullshit ways your life can get ruined.

http://www.solresearch.org/report/Look_Whos_on_Registry_Now

This is an example of a broken system in the USA. The rules to get on the registry are broken, but the idea of a registry in and of itself is, in my opinion, good. As a parent I want people to be on there who abuse kids, but also as a parent, I expect judges and police to know the difference between child porn and a family member capturing memories.
