I suspect that as you get up the latter in the restaurant business it gets harder to cover the costs.

Chefs and the general staff expect higher pay, the restaurant needs to be in a high rent area, you need to make a very specialized meal, and you don't have the customer turn over that you have at a fast food place. Plus their's a limit as to how much you can charge. How many people can afford a $200-$300 meal? Not many... So taking care of the staff in terms of sick time is probably easier at a fast food shop.
Ask HN: Is identity theft protection service worth it?
I have been a member of Lifelock for a number of years now. It seems more expensive than it use to be, and I don't get copies of my credit reports anymore.

I am debating whether I should continue with the service.

What is your opinion on these types of services and are they worth it?
Thank you, and good luck to you!

- SSRI - I was on these for a few months near the start. I think it was the wrong timing, they masked the symptoms but didn't get to the core. My motivation was at an all time low so I flunked happily instead of just flunking. I was dropping everything and becoming a zombie. Now motivation is coming back again I think they or CBT might have helped move things along.

- distractions - I need to work on this more. I've done some, but as I'm starting to wake up a bit, I know I should do more. I need to get at least one space of the home back to cltter free and break the mental clutter too. It's too easy to feel I'm continuing the chaos of the workaholic times.

- writing - I like this. I've been doing something like this last few weeks, just into an editor file, and it's given me enough shape to know I need to be "not here".

- acceptance - Oh I am so bad at this, and rather good at obsessing how broken I am at the end of a day. I had a good head, and find it too easy to remind myself, and how stupid I'm being. Now some motivation is coming back it's probably worse - I was more like a teen with "yeah whatever" to everything six months ago.

Some good points to think on, and work on.

Sure, you can always find parameters where one party or another is hurt, because the parameter space is very large.

For example, without the excess profits provided by price discrimination, a company may decide a market is simply too small to serve, in which case all surplus is lost.

Also, the baseline for comparing a crippled product is not necessarily the same but uncrippled product. If a manufacturer knows crippling is unavailable, they may just develop the reduced feature set entirely, in which case rich consumers are hurt.

Microeconomic theory can be subtle, and whether something is good or bad depends very much in the specific case.

Here is what I don't understand about this argument. When the USA first started we lived in a very agricultural society.

https://ourworldindata.org/agricultural-employment/

You would think by this logic that removing these jobs would have caused a MASSIVE unemployment issue in the USA. Which it did to some degree. I mean farmers were pushed off their land by bigger farmers, and other groups and they went out to find other jobs.

If you look at the Great Depression there were a lot of similar things going on to what is going on now. The wealth is sitting at the top 1%, people end up working crazy hours to make it. Skyrocketing property costs.

The recession was an indicator of this and my question is, where we able to divert disaster or did we just kick the disaster down to the next decade? What political movement will help turn around the disaster that we are currently facing (if we are facing a disaster)? I don't know the answer to this but I personally see that there are a few economic bubbles we're sitting on tech, real estate, government employment. Any one could pop and cause a massive problem.

Does anyone have a place I can go to learn more about this? Specific books, blogs, podcasts or sites that talk about these issues?
Here's the research paper, Automated Whitebox Fuzz Testing by Patrice Godefroid, Michael Levin, and David Molnar:

"Our approach records an actual run of the program under test on a well-formed input, symbolically evaluates the recorded trace, and gathers constraints on inputs capturing how the program uses these. The collected constraints are then negated one by one and solved with a constraint solver, producing new inputs that exercise different control paths in the program. This process is repeated with the help of a code-coverage maximizing heuristic designed to find defects as fast as possible."

WoSign supposedly logged all certificates they issued to various Certificate Transparency log servers, so domain owners could check those records for any mis-issuance. There probably aren't too many organizations who check CT regularly right now, but it's better than nothing.

There's been some talk on mozilla.dev.security.policy about actively distrusting WoSign/StartCom-issued certificates for domains that have not been disclosed to CT as WoSign/StartCom subscribers (by baking the domain list into various browser binaries). That's probably the best option all around, though I'm not sure if it's going to happen (the report doesn't mention this).
This will rise for a few more years and then will start to slowly fall off as the old professions start to die, and more and more young people choose professions still in demand. We are now simply in a transition period, both in regard to the technology and the effects of the globalization.

We've heard this quite a lot - there's actually a few ways to tackle this, one of the most common is to either use Ingress (which is a built in L7 load balancer) or run an nginx instance in a pod on the cluster (https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress), and, in either case, direct all traffic to your node port across your cluster.

It's really one command to do either - if you have trouble, please ping me (aronchick (at) google)!

f.lux was pretty life changing for me when I first tried it, but I'm uncomfortable with the fact that it is free-with-no-ads-yet-closed-source. That's just ... odd. Eventually, I uninstalled it and instead just started going into System Preferences by hand when it gets late in the day and switching color profiles (which is all f.lux seems to do anyway) to something that is based on a lower white point. In my admittedly unscientific testing, it seems to have the same effect as f.lux, which is what I would expect.

I hope Apple releases Night Shift for macOS soon and then I can stop manually switching color profiles around, but for now it's not a big deal.
> Today, it takes nearly 2x the median household income to get something resembling that kind of life.

In some cities. In other cities, that's just not true. Example: in Atlanta, GA, the median income is right over $55k. According to Zillow, that will get you a house in the $227k range. There are tons of single-family houses with yards in that price range (or even half that) in the city.

I ran similar math for Dallas, TX. I'd bet there are a lot of markets where this is true.

Technology is making things more efficient; things are produced cheaper and more efficiently and with less humans.

The problem is that policy hasn't evolved with technology. Technology has caused two things: 1) increase income disparity & 2) increase unemployment. The problem is that what worked for American til WW2, a laissez faire economic policy, doesn't handle these two things well. We need to encourage our policy makers to figure out a society that has better wealth distribution and can handle a large % of the population not working.
In 1999, a devastating cyclone hit the Indian state of Odisha killing 10000 people.[1] In 2013, Odisha was again hit by a cyclone of similar magnitude[2]. However due to advance warnings by weather satellites[3] 550,000 people were evacuated and only 45 people died this time. What is the worth of 10,000 human lives?

Without a dedicated sales staff willing/able to compete with big ad suppliers like Spotify and Facebook, then you are likely selling so-called remnant impressions delivered automatically via ad networks like AdSense. Remnant impressions are highly commoditized.

Unless you are in a shady or otherwise lucrative niche that has limited supply of impressions and attracts lots of competition (e.g. Asbestos removal or DUI lawyer advice) you can expect to earn $2 CPM or so on a good day and as little as 8 cents per thousand ads for some traffic. There are quality/revenue tradeoffs: typically, the higher quality advertiser, the less they'll pay you for remnant.

Even with multiple ads on the page, these are very hard economics unless you operate at a very large scale. I'd advise a fellow journalist not to pursue an ad strategy until they have more than 2,000 people on their site every day, and ideally more like 10k+.
Hubble finds additional evidence of plumes on Europa
It's not actually any different; "technical unemployment" has caused many problems that are clearly visible from a cursory examination of the historical record.

The obvious place to start is the horse: the horse population in the US peaked at 26M in 1917 and had declined to 3M by 1960, almost 1/10th of its peak value [0].

When those horses were unemployed by the automobile, we did not retrain them in new lines of work. They just died. It got so bad that conversation societies were established to protect endangered breeds.

Eventually we created a handful of new jobs in the recreational sector for them, so the population of horses is rising now, but it is nowhere close to the peak value, and of course we did not create those jobs within the lifetime of any displaced horse.

In fact what the historical record shows is that massive technological shocks produce long-term unemployment. It doesn't seem to matter if it's a horse, because of course they're just resources to be exploited in the furtherance of human goals. But then again, so are you.

Seriously, I have, right now, just dropped out of Vim into VSCode to debug a C program, because the VSCode debugger is fantastic. Everything just... works. In fact, I'd drop Vim in a heartbeat in favour of VSCode if only the vim keybindings were better, but right now they're pretty terrible and my fingers get confused. (Mercurial integration would be nice too, but mostly I use hg from the command line so I don't mind.)

I like the new Microsoft.

Ask HN: What would YOU do with a technology that passes the Turing Test?
What would you do if you created technology that passes the most popular interpretation of the Turing Test?
Imagine that you have a technology capable of having a "normal" conversation with you (via text/chat) that is indistinguishable from a regular human. Let's call it "Chatty". Chatty understands "common sense" in the way most humans do (i.e. that if you get hit by a bus the consequences are much more serious than if you are bitten by a regular mosquito), has some cultural background that lots of you can relate to (i.e. someone who lived in North America for 10 years, maybe has't seen Cheers but knows about the Simpsons and the Game of Thrones) and a very good command of English.

Chatty learns and remembers all of its previous interactions with you and is capable of convincingly faking emotional responses.

This is not AGI by any means, but it does push state of AI forward, far surpassing anything that has been done before in many subareas of the field.

How would you use this technology? Would you try to commercialize it and if yes then how? Would you open source it? Would you apply to YC with it? Would you try to sell it to any of the big players (Siri would become just awesome if it used Chatty) and if yes how much do you think it would be worth to them?

Just getting solid wood is a challenge.

Take a look.

http://thecraftsmanblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/old-g...

Item on the left is old growth, and is a century or more old.

New growth is 'cheaper' but quality has gone way down.

You also want to avoid buying any wood that could have come from South of the Equator, it'd be like handling conflict diamonds.

Happily since a Tiny House requires 5x-10x less material than the average house, you get to pick and choose and the premiums are manageable.

Another challenge is that many useful things in a house off-gas dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde. Woods natural and artificial, insulation, paints, plastics, chaulk, they all give off gas for years. It is widely acknowledged in the building industry that this is so, builders do warn their clients of this, but home buyers optimize for sq ft (making the use of superior materials much less likely) + time to move in. Now that regular houses are using passive house principals for air tightness this is going to be a big problem for health.

Because a Tiny House is small, this is an even bigger problem. So you need to do your research on VOCs with respect to woods like MDF, insulation foam or chaulking. If you ventilate correctly or have a HRV and you wait for a month of venting before moving in, that would be an intelligent thing to do. Chances are that you'll live longer by at least a month!

Absolutely – as someone looking to enter the container orchestration space, I have been spending time evaluating Docker Swarm (1.12) and Kubernetes. While consensus seems to be that Swarm is immature and "productionability" is questionable, Docker's documentation, while by no means perfect, was by far more approachable than whatever Kubernetes has thrown together.

Perhaps that comes as consequence of Docker shooting for the all-built-in approach, but I'd like to see a better overview and ramp-up in the Kubernetes space – their "101" and "201" docs are laughable.

Yes, cost of land was factored in to the original post. That's what the whole section about density was about. Keeping land costs at 10k per unit defines how many units you need to put on a given plot of land, based on price paid.
Mozilla in android crashed within 10s. But it was totally worth it.
I should have clarified. Yes, increasing supply satisfies some demand and brings down prices. My point was that demand is so much higher than supply that the market value is still much higher than the intrinsic value. Saying you can build a home for $50K doesn't mean it will cost that.

Regulatory concerns are a large part why homes so much more expensive.

I built a 2 story, 4 room structure inside of a friend's warehouse for $3,800 total. I got a book on framing and just bought a bunch of lumber and drywall from Home Depot and built it myself with the help of a friend.

It wasn't legal of course. If I actually followed the law I couldn't have afforded a place to live and would have been homeless.

I agree that technology follows an exponential curve and will bring construction costs down, but gov't and society in general doesn't move at that speed and so I don't anticipate homes being much cheaper.

That and inflation.
I thought this was a blog post. Not a misleading headline to a vendor site.
Good point. Let me correct that: if you return something that doesn't have a name, or is a local variable in the function you're returning from, it will always be moved. Usually it amounts to the same thing, except when non-const lvalue or rvalue references are involved (but it's fairly rare to return via a non-const reference).

A agree with your metrics and your conclusions as well.

The Linux desktop is now in a much better overall shape than it has ever been.

The desktops themselves have reached a fairly polished state. Much less annoyance than before (like multi-monitor settings and other basic stuff). I use Cinnamon on my Mint laptop and KDE Plasma on my Neon dev workstation and both are fairly polished and stable.

OSS applications like Kdenlive are also getting polished and adding more professional features. I also use a macOS laptop and I actually think that it is now as easy/quick to edit videos with Kdenlive on my Linux machines than with iMovie on the mac.

KDEConnect is another great example, it is just brilliant.

LibreOffice is also progressing rapidly with other productivity tools.

Using both macOS and Linux desktops for java/web development, I actually think that Linux is better, faster and more stable in most respect. E.g.: Finder is a joke, it is even worse than Explorer, none of them come close to proper Linux file managers like Krusader, Dolphin or Caja.

All in all, the Linux desktop space has seen great improvements and the hard work seems to be paying off now (see the latest upwards trend on Linux desktop market share)

Guys, keep up the good work on both KDE Plasma and LXQt!!!
Your work is greatly appreciated by many-many of us, happy Linux users.
