Also - put another way, not even including the cost of facilities, and equipment - I'm paying $8500 for 100 hours of instructor time. $85/hr (admittedly shared with a small group of other students) of a world class education, where every single second is optimized.

Seems reasonable to me.
You are saying that the additional price for local talent has to be infinite? Because otherwise I don't totally understand this position. You could almost always find local talent, at prohibitively high costs. Pay enough and people will retrain, too. This sort of thing is dynamic, and what doesn't exist at one price point does at another.

Of course, I also don't think forcing higher costs on everyone in the name of favoring certain groups of people over others is a particularly laudable goal.

Everex Uses Ethereum and 'Cryptocash' to Bring Financial Inclusion to All
But there are two different things - selling and using. Using is only marginally criminalized. Selling and distributing is a much more serious offense. Alcohol in some ways is no different. I can home brew all I want and bottle it and put it in the refrigerator. If throw the garage door open and start selling it to the general public I can expect some trouble from the legal system. Crossing state boundaries and using a Federal system like the mail further compounded this individual's situation.

Another Google Mail trick is to use periods. Not as useful as the +, but for those sites that don't accept +, one can usually add in a few extra periods to place sites into buckets (multiple adjacent periods don't work).

We just use "c0mp4nyn4m3" everywhere, unless we just use "companyname". Or the same passwords on multiple servers, or a few well-known passwords which are used again and again.

Wallace and Gromit – The Great Train Chase (1993) [video]
Interesting things I noticed: (1) They say bread should be in "perfect condition [...] at least one day old". (2) They insist on removing the crust. (3) "Cut the sandwiches to either square, triangular, long, narrow, round, or crescent shaped". (Anyone ever had a crescent-shaped sandwich?) (4) "Rolled bread sandwiches" = pinned bread rolls. (5) The use of maiden hair fern is recommended for sweet sandwiches. (6) 'Smilax' = sarsparilla. (7) Americans were already widely using Tobasco sauce in 1909. (8) The word 'salami' was followed by (Italian Sausage) suggesting it was still considered exotic. (9) An early Welsh rarebit recipe. (10) Many interesting European references (Berlin, Limburg, Montpellier) (11) Reference to relatively obscure American ingredients of the era like 'Waukesha Cheese' (which apparently now no longer exists) and 'Hickory Nut'. (12) Suggestion of emptying (though a small hole) then stuffing a whole loaf with filling for picnics.

Old-style science was not as expensive as new style science. If a team does something for commercial gain then it becomes publically accessible 20 years later when the patents expire. Probably sooner if people ignore the patents or find a way round them. The worst case scenario is that they sit on their invention and do nothing about it. The best case is that they create a new viable industry. Either way, eventually the technology will become available to everyone for free. If there was little incentive to develop these ideas then fewer people would bother and this tech may only have been invented in 100 years time.
some feedback on the documentation...

From the intro, I don't fully understand what this is. Is it a web server, is it a reverse proxy, is it for microservices?

An older discussion on HN about an experiment that was unable to replicate the effect when using batteries

Right...but the existence of a federal tax is irrelevant; there is still tons of tax competition because the states assess their own taxes. The federal tax rate, from the competitive perspective, is irrelevant because everyone pays it. But every state has different taxes and they compete with each other to give the biggest tax breaks.

For for example you might have:

State A:
State income tax: 5%
Property tax: 5%
Sales tax: 5%

State B:
State income tax: 6%
Property tax: 6%
Sales tax: 5%

Yes, everyone in both State A and B pay, let's say, a federal 7% income tax and payroll taxes. But the state taxes make a huge difference. State says to Wal-Corp - build a store here and you'll be exempt from property taxes and sales tax for 5 years, and we'll give you a special state income tax credit that reduces it to 3%. That's the kind of deal making we have going on with states, except the federal government doesn't intervene to stop it like the EU did here.

Transforming Your Organisation to Support Multiple Platforms
I've been doing some reading on this recently, and as far as I understand it, this paper is not going to settle the matter one way or the other. IANAP so take these notes with a grain of salt.

There was an experiment done by a Chinese lab a few years ago, which seemed to support the effect, but when they re-did the experiment using an on-board battery instead of a power cable, the effect disappeared.

So far noone has publically replicated this condition (i.e. battery instead of power cable), and either confirmed or disconfirmed this null-result, and I do not think this new paper will report any experiments using this condition either.

There are however efforts underway to actually put one of these things into space in the form of a tiny satellite, and see if any thrust is produced there, which seems like the perfect experimental setup.

All in all I think it is going to be years before we know what is what in regards to this technology.
Just tested this with my google apps account and it works there, too.

In the eyes of the traditional establishment, LSD is an extremely dangerous substance, not because of it's potential for causing physical harm (which is very close to zero), but because of it's consciousness altering ability, also called "mind expansion" ability.

People who go through a proper acid trip are permanently changed. Their core philosophy, religious and political views can be dramatically altered.

They stop believing the stories that the State and Church wants them to believe and some become hard to control, insubordinate, etc which I would sum up with one word - "free" (of course, with it's own set of consequences).

If the System "brainwashes", the LSD "braincleans".

And then people turn into "hippies", wearing flowers in their hairs, hugging trees and eating vegetarian food. They look at all people as "human beings", instead of "Communist", "Muslim" or "Gay".

They also want everyone to take it.

If I were the military-industrial ego-centric paranoid war-mongering establishment of the '60s, then I would definitely outlaw it and try to get rid of everyone who promotes its use.

Fortunately, LSD and Marijuana are making a major come back, now globally, with millions of young people "waking up", which in our day and age is vitally important, so I hope we'll see news like these more often, including the release of Ross Ulbricht of SilkRoad fame among others.

Beta testers: Trello roadmap generator
I've put together a roadmap generator for Trello (see http://changelog.jetti.io/ as an example). It's useful if:

- The content / descriptions of what you delivered is in Trello and you don't want to copy and pasta
- You don't want to open up Trello to all users (it's an internal tool)
- You're lazy

You can do things like RegEx stuff out of titles (we put dev points in the titles) and RegEx in/out lists (we have delivered columns but don't want in progress lists to display). It just pulls through the title and description, so internal comments are left out.

Not for everyone, but let me know if you want to try it out.

And yes, Blackgate is a reverse proxy for microservices. The reason not using Kong is because if you want to start a Kong cluster, you have to run a bunch of dependencies in several nodes, like Nginx, PostgreSQL, etc.
Blackgate is much simpler in this case. Write config, and Run instance. Nothing more.

I believe the architecture is not built in one-day. In early state, we can choose a simpler tool to avoid over-engineering.
Second that. The nicest thing I've seen is at a large company, where you had to go through a very long and time consuming bureaucratic process in order to obtain the password (companyname123, identical for everyone).
I really like your approach, just ask people to share sensitive information on a public website. Anybody sharing their company credential storing policy here should be up for an early performance review by their managers, boss.

Here we start with not writing our policy on public websites.

First off,

$15 to just drive to your house wouldn't be "fair".
$15 to pay for a haircut is borderline "I don't consider you a professional".

If you don't think cutting your hair is that hard, anyone at the hair place can reasonably be expected to do a decent job.

I think it really comes down to you thinking you can save some money on an easy haircut. Why not buy some clippers on Amazon and get a friend to cut your hair? That's what I did/do. I don't do it to save money, it's a convenience thing. (I have very little hair.)
I swear somebody posts this link in every thread with a question.
Jessica's words were:

They really were doing this because they were out of money. And this is like a Hail Mary for them.

The sensible advice YC partners will always give you is to avoid running out of money.

If you've run out of money, there's not much advice the YC partners can give you, and the only options are to (a) shut down immediately, or (b) throw a Hail Mary.

The lesson here is that if you're the kind of founder who, in a do-or-die situation, can figure out a Hail Mary that actually hits the mark - and if you believe in your idea enough to be willing to try anything to survive, even when nobody else in the world believes in your idea - you're more likely to be the kind of founder who will accomplish huge success in the long term - due to the determination and inspiration you've shown yourself to possess.

Of course, nobody should fetishize getting in a situation where you have to throw a Hail Mary - but as Jessica explains, in the 2008 climate, it was hard to imagine how they could have avoided it.

But offering this story as a perfect example of how determination and inspiration can lead to massive success continues to be entirely appropriate.
Here is a tip when you're faced with an acronym that someone that works the IC throws at you. Just Google it with "CIA" attached. Even though NBP is associated with the NSA there is enough link juice connecting the CIA to basically everything you could possibly associate in intelligence. Another example, "BND CIA" => first result is correct. "ISI CIA" => correct. etc.
What happens if multiple people load the same page and type simultaneously? I'm on a phone and can't test that for myself, but the simultaneous access/editing is what Google Docs truly valuable.

Does this do that?
I would argue the opposite. If your credential storing policy is so sensitive that it's not sharable, then it's probably not that secure in the first place. Besides that, how can I even possibly make use of that information when I don't even know the name of the company?
Well, yeah. We're not using SMS for 2FA, just for delivering monitoring alerts. With those reliability statistics (and the impossibility to improve it) I wouldn't do SMS-based 2FA at all.
I also use a Unique-per-service email address with Paypal, and I noticed that Paypal actually passes on that email address to the retailer when I pay with Paypal.
I receive order confirmation emails (from those retailers) and quite a few unwanted newsletters to my unique paypal address now.

I have no idea what Paypal is trying to achieve by passing on this fairly personal piece of data. I always have to enter a separate email address with the retailer anyway, and because of this scheme, those two of course never match.
Agree. If they support Google Authenticator, even better. Sometimes the text messages don't come through.

Yes, doses are in the order of 100-150 micrograms, for a basic dose. 100ug will do as an approximation.

How many doses of 100ug are there in 1g? Oooh... About 10,000.

So yes, 1g of crystal is a substantial amount, that's the point. Compared to a handful of doses on a gram of paper, it makes a mockery of the law if I were to be charged the same way whichever of the two I was carrying.

(Of course the law is an ass anyway, where it comes to drugs)
AWS Lambda: Calling functions from a web browser
> I'm just saying that everything that Angular makes convenient via the hints it throws in HTML is handled behind the scenes by calling Javascript libraries.

Well, of course, but I'm not sure why this would be an issue. Earlier, less well implemented versions of Angular sometimes produced headaches this way. Current versions really don't. Considering the amount of boilerplate I find this saves me having to write and maintain - thus freeing me to spend effort on those parts of my application which are essentially complex, not just accidentally so - I find Angular a pretty clear win there.

Of course, maybe I just can't write computer programs, and my now almost two-decade-long professional career doing so is simply a preposterously unlikely fluke. Who knows?

Also, stop connecting H1B to the hiring company!

If the H1B company isn't offering a good salary, the person should be able to change jobs to another in the US without paperwork. This would remove most incentives for a person to take a below-market wage, removing the downward pressure (that I think is theoretical but...)

Plus it stops treating people like indentured servants. +1 for humanity.

I agree a lot with this. I'm shy introvert and low confidence, and started going bald before 18. But somehow I never felt ashamed of going bald. I kept on being shy introvert and low confidence, but not having a lot of hair was more or less the same as having two hands.

The point being: having or not having hair, muscles, big tits, big penis, beautiful hair, a high IQ, wide shoulders, a quick sense of humor, a lovely accent, a big car, a sexy startup, a cool job description, or whatever, are only proxies for "perceived self[1]-value", that one can use to either gain or lose confidence in him/herself. This is happening right now in your head, and it is a positive-gain feedback loop that's harming you. You need to identify it as such and find ways to cut that loop. Being unable to relate to the other sex is just a consequence of that destructive loop, not the actual source of it.

London: Moneybox launches to help Millennials save and invest their spare change
I once caught someone lying on a resume, but only because they mentioned a former employer that was also my former employer and while they worked there, they didn't work on the project they claimed (which I had worked on, it was a small team, and which happened before they got hired there.)

But that was a lucky catch in a relatively small town.

How did you decide not to move forward with a candidate? Are you sure you didn't make a decision based on uncorroborated data? (EG: One can say whatever one wants about someone online, and when you google their name it may come up, even though the source has an axe to grind.)
