I think you're losing track of your narrative: this is about finding skilled engineers, not about money. The EU, Singapore, New Zealand, etc. have plenty of talented people.

Face it, even cutting off H1-Bs entirely, which thankfully is not what is being proposed by Trump, would not make weak candidates attractive to hire.
Ask HN: What was your most effective email subject line?
We're sending emails with new beta builds every 2 weeks. And after the 10th email I lost creativity. I tried many combinations from AppSumo website, but have 0 ideas now.

Could you please share email headlines that you have used? (for product launches or product updates)

I'm waiting that day, when we will be able to hire a native speaking copywriter....

Thanks :)

Well, in that case why debate anything at all?

People will always have biases, and if you limit discussions to those that don't have biases, then you remove all real life experience from the debate, at which point how would you possibly reach a valid conclusion?

Stating you bias upfront, then trying to come to objective consensus is the entire point of debate and discussion, isn't it?
If there was any incentive, it would be to deny the problem - after all, discovering global warming leads to the prospect of having to do expensive and unpopular things about it.
That's it! Keep making the bad facts go away!
I think that doesn't do justice to the many people who voted Trump because they didn't want to vote for Hillary.

Whether justified or not, many of the Trump voters/fans I've spoken to did not get caught up in Trump's 'narcissism'; they just feel so sick of 'the establishment' that they'd do anything to not get another Clinton in office.

To be clear, I myself would probably have voted for Hillary instead of Trump, because I'm a cautious person and I prefer the 'evil' I know over the unpredictable nature of Trump. But if I squint, so to speak, I could see myself voting for Trump just because I dislike Hillary so much. That in itself scares me a bit (I'm big on LGBT rights and whatnot, on a very personal level).

The reason why I'm pointing this out is that 1) we are now stuck with Trump, so let's try and make the best of it, 2) part of why we got here was the incredibly shallow name-calling and condemnation and stereotyping from both sides, encouraged by the media.

Our best way forward is to try and understand the situation and most important the people involved, and why they voted the way they did, and go from there. And perhaps being honest and factually correct is a good idea too.

Could be further analysis proves you right, btw. But right now I have no reason to believe that most people voted Trump primarily because they got 'caught up in his narcissism'.
> the same likelyhood of happening

I disagree. It's much easier to identify me by my real name than by asking a third party to analyze server logs to find an IP and match it to users (many of which may be using the same public IP).
I bailed out halfway into my CS/EE university program (to start working in software instead) a very long time ago in part so I wouldn't have to finish the signal theory/processing course, so please bear with me.

"I made the assumption that by harsh you meant dissonant sounds of a relatively high audio frequency"

Yes, that's what I'm hearing. Here is a comparison video where you can listen to the difference between the original NES (via an ADC, presumably) and the NES Classic Mini:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9EyI3mVhi4

Anyway, to me it sounds that by just filtering away some high frequencies you would get a better approximation of the original.

Edit: Oh wait, I see what I did; I mixed up high-pass filter with low-pass filter (again). Doh. I do maintain that whoever named them made a mistake.
> It seems that perhaps (while oil prices were high) these coal miners should've moved to North Dakota and Texas.

Easier said than done when one's entire social structure is rooted in one place, and has been since before one was born.

We forget how lucky we are that we can do our work from anywhere in the world; those of us who've moved around also tend, I think, to forget the real value of staying where one grew up.

I am looking for evidence so that humans can draw wise conclusions.

I point out that a group of people who are employed primarily by a single source are going to generate opinions that are favorable to that source.

If they don't, they are handicapping their ability to put food on the table. Work can still be found without catering to the primary source, but it's not as financially beneficial to do so.
That's similar to an idea I had a while ago. A cryptocurrency based open source application, using a margin generated on rides to fund maintenance and insurance, but I decided to pick something else (which I thought could be more helpful) as a startup idea.

I'd love to see if there's been any work on something in this vein regarding any company in the sharing economy. Traction/Marketing would be hard though.
People don't want to have to think about it. If the solution is built into the system, it reduces cognitive load.
What you are saying is the cost of keeping human life on this planet is too high?

And that even simple steps like not subsidizing coal, when natural gas is cheaper and there for responsible for the decrease in coal mining, it too expensive of a step?
I'm not an expert in this issue or doing any analysis, and neither are you. I shared a link I thought was interesting. I'm sure there is better analysis out there if someone cares to look, but I'm not going to do that right now.

I'm from KY. According to NPR yesterday, McConnell himself has said that the easing of regulations and executive coal alignment is unlikely to create many coal jobs. Not sure if that was political posturing or not.

The "clean coal" that Trump has pushed for costs way too much money to create, transport, and responsibly store the solid carbon. Coal already has a price advantage when compared to natural gas.

However, I agree with you that the voters in Appalachia generally vote against their own interests. Usually for social reasons.
Having a system that is better unfortunately doesn't mean that this point is overblown.
How can people buy cheaper fridges when they're no longer employed because it is cheaper to employ someone to do their jobs where safety, benefits and human rights don't exist?
It's not clear whether Trump even opposes single-payer healthcare.

He pushed the repeal of Obamacare pretty hard toward the end of the election when it became apparent that was a winning message. But he has said repeatedly that he does not believe that the U.S. can just abandon people without healthcare. "We have to take care of our people"--he said things like this a number of times.

The big question now is how much control Trump will have over his own administration, vs. the established GOP machine in DC.

Trump's inexperience with governing means he doesn't know all the tricks and levers for getting what he wants. He's used to just issuing commands to his corporate staff. The executive branch does not work like that. Everyone has their own agendas, and will undercut or sell out the president if they think it will help them.
In New York you pay 1% property tax/year (effectively), and it is quite universal. I think vancouver's 1% on empty is an addition to any property taxes. I was referring to the prevalent 1% tax on property which is applied to cars, places with unlimited apartments etc.

Disney should be able to own Mickey trademarks for as long as they maintain them - but they shouldn't be able to tell me not to copy or remix Steamboat Willy. They got 50 years of monopoly on it they were promised when they released it. It should be public domain now.
I think this cause effect is well understood and people who are not impacted can be clinical about it but when your livelihood depends on not understanding something you won't.

What happens to all these people, their families and lives put in disarray. This is what the economic and political system of a society is supposed to address - the well being of all citizens. And we can clearly see this is where globalization and the current economic dispensation falls apart spectacularly.

Wishing it away or washing your hands off is a kind of sociopathy. Are these people to be left alone to form an underbelly of society susceptible to any demagogue willing to exploit their disenchantment for their own ends. This self serving plan of action directly leads to social unrest, breakdown and worse.
I remember a good post about Silicon Valley etiquette, which suggested startup founders to answer on emails within 24 hours. That's a good advice, but sometimes developing product is more important them answer on 101 email.
Oh so after all that time accusing my generation of being lazy and unmotivated, they would rather stay unemployed and vote for a racists than change it. got it.
The problem is finding which point was wrong. What behavior was done here that should be discouraged or banned by society? People don't like the outcome, but where should the government intervene?
Sure you can, it's not exclusive to your kids.

But let me give you an example. My ancestry is very well documented back to 1100ish.

Most of my ancestors had either a military function or later on were law enforcement officers. When I grew up, my parents left me the choice to do anything I want.My grades were good enough to go to a University and become a doctor or lawyer. But since I've been a child I had a natural desire to protect people. I did that in school. And well I am retired now, but I did that for all of my life more or less.

This could of course just be imagination as there is no scientific proof.

But I think that some of these values were passed down our bloodline. And that is just different than learning values from someone else. It's like an imprint.

So if you decide not to have kids and you don't have a brother or sister who can keep the bloodline going that is an absolutely fine choice, but it's also a shame that that genetics and traits that were passed down for centuries get lost.

English is not my mother tongue, I hope you can get my point.
Total misunderstanding of economics along with voluntary submission to the State, that's just what I could read from this whole shit.
That's true! I'd completely forgotten about MM. It always felt like a "mod" of sorts to OOT.
>What would America be like if global manufacturing & trade to the us halted and full trade sanctions (like Iran/Cuba) were imposed?

What would China be like?

Beyond the economic damage it would do to China, the whole idea is laughable because China dwarfs the US as an emitter.

But to entertain the hypothetical: the US is the single country that could hold up under autarky. We have fertile land, wooded forests, productive mines, lots of fossil fuels, an educated population, and ample industrial infrastructure (much latent, but much still churning, like semiconductor fabs, car plants, steel, etc.)
> where I see rural America and ordinary Americans, like me, still struggling to make ends meet, after eight years of the Obama administration.

Blaming the President for your situation is pathetic. You are responsible for improving your situation and cannot expect government to fix everything for you.
But the costs happen at different times. We are already paying some of the cost of climate change, but what we're currently paying is far less than the cost of prevention. It is a short-term vs. long-term problem, and unfortunately short-term thinking is ascendant.
What is the value? Whenever I go back home I of course am happy to see old friends and family. But I'm also reminded of all the reasons I'm glad I left, from poorer economic opportunities to poor political decisions manifesting themselves in everyday life.
I know it is in the guidelines. I am saying that I disagree with that guideline as it does not accomplish the goal the guidelines are intended to accomplish.
Argh, stop saying that Stallman is redefining "free". Fine, "Guber" is all that anyone ever hears and the top comment and the most important thing to discuss about all the other points that Stallman is raising against Uber (sarcasm), but there isn't anything non-free about the GPL. Having laws that forbid others from removing freedom isn't itself non-free.

Freedom is always limited by the rights of others. Always. You are not "free" to punch people in the face or "free" to be a harmful member of society. Copyleft is just a way to ensure that you can never take away others' freedom, to secure the rights of people other than yourself. It is not a redefinition of freedom.
That might change until the 3 is being delivered in Europe. BMW has a network called ChargeNow or something. However, it is not sufficiently large yet.
This is a relatively common misconception. The location calculation in GPS is independent of any time dilation between the GPS receiver and the satellites (as long as the satellites have roughly equal dilation), because the receiver clock is derived from the satellites' signals. This is also the reason why you need at least four satellites for a 3D fix, and three for a 2D fix - you are always deriving an additional unknown variable, time. (And this is also the reason why a GPS time receiver works with only one satellite: the position is locked when they are set up, after that they can work with 1+ satellites. More satellites will reduce errors, though.)

The time dilation is therefore only compensated so that you can use a GPS receiver as a very accurate, absolute clock.
Rapidly shifting environmental conditions usually lead to less, not more, animal diversity, because of invasive species and ecosystem collapse. Greater temperatures are associated with greater biodiversity overall, but this would be of foreign species.
I was just about to post something about how The Witness would fit right into this article!
There are reactor designs that leave virtually no waste, and can actually consume existing nuclear waste stockpiles. Check out the LFTR [1], for one. Thiel is a big Thorium fan, not sure if he will whisper that in Trump's ear.

Regarding the "mainstream Media" I fail to see what they did wrong.

From what I've been reading and my own anecdote it's that they didn't follow Trump enough. They didn't hear his true message, and that was one that appealed to many. You don't have to be racist to buy into it.

My anecdote: One fine afternoon, in fact it was the afternoon after Trump won the NH primary, I found myself at home for some reason far too early in the day. I flipped on the TV and came across a news network that I had never seen before. It's called the One America Network. The mission of the One America Network is to bring a conservative viewpoint to the masses through media. Fox, it seems, has become nothing but a bunch of crybaby liberals and for Real Americans (TM) OAN is the new place to be.

OK. Let's see what these dipshits have to say.

On comes Trump. He is at a rally in (IIRC) South Carolina. OAN had him budgeted for an hour of air time, but stayed with him until he finished.

He talked about ObamaCare. It was a horrible system. It was made by Obama but he was in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry (sic - most would say insurance, but- truthiness...). He was going to throw it out and replace it with something better.

Did you catch that last part? Had you heard that before? His appeal to his supporters was that ObamaCare wasn't working because it was written for big business by corrupt politicians and not for everyday Americans. And he was going to have a better plan. For them.

You don't have to be a racist for that to resonate. And for the mainstream media to miss the nuance in these messages (I'm guessing there were more) is to not understand what the election was truly about. And, as everybody on this board knows, when you don't understand the fundamental concepts the Final Exam is a crapshoot.
Do you have happen to have reasonable sources for 1. ? That's going to hard to google...
In my experience, people found the area they were interested in, and made a fold around it, so that the map was easier to handle. Much like the newspaper folds that bisect the paper vertically or laterally into fourths.
This is absolutely not true. There is a huge difference between a 3 degree world and a 4 degree world. Yes, 2 degrees seems out of reach already, but the Paris agreement is considered a genuine breakthrough amongst many many people who fight for preventing climate change.

It's disingenuous to claim that there are only token gestures. Chinas commitment is real, Europes commitment is real, India is more questionable, but the Obama administrations actions through the EPA were also real.

Trumps win will cost us. It means many many more gigatonnes of CO2 in the air, that means a hotter planet, and that means more dead poor people. To the best of sciences ability to tell, THAT is reality.
So much credit goes to Villeneuve, who elevates scripts that could easily go wrong into works of art. See Sicario if you haven't, for example—a script that would have been a pedestrian drug war film in lesser hands.
Ask HN: I will quit my job as a PM to join a coding bootcamp. Am I crazy?
I have an MBA from a top 3 school and have a high-paying job as a PM at a top 3 tech company. But I don't feel like I am building tangible skills as a PM, it is more about project management and coordinating. I think about the future and get excited about technology and the types of things you can build and contribute to if you know how to code (e.g. block chain, deep learning, etc.). I have a feeling tremendous opportunity will be available over the next 10 years to software developers while other disciplines such as management become less and less important. Am I crazy to make this career switch?
The top comment in an article is often a digression when HN does not like the article.
My father is in the same position as this demographic you mention. Working at large firms, facing regular layoffs due to offshoring and outsourcing, and yet moves around the U.S. when the opportunities are elsewhere. And he has a mortgage, and he's at least 55 years old IIRC.
I wonder if any of the researchers evaluate the ethical decisions behind this. Right now it looks naive.

We have a president who is very anti-muslim and Pro-surveillance. What if this falls in the wrong hands? What if it classifies the wrong person?

Snapchat filters are already racist with dark color tones.

To actually understand what we as individuals can do, I recommend reading the Sustainable Energy book.[1] It's free online.[2]

As a developer, you can educate and help people conserve energy. Heating and cooling are enormous culprits. Learn to be comfortable at 60-65 in the winter, and 75-80 in the summer. Transportation is a big culprit as well. Buy a bicycle and use it for everything under 10 miles. Of course green technologies are helpful, and I don't mean to discount them, but the reality is that our cultural attitudes towards consumption are just as much of the problem.

To visually see what I mean, check out this graphic from the book: http://www.withouthotair.com/c18/page_109.shtml
The red bar on the left represents a typical Britain's consumption (which, mind you, is statistically less than the typical American's). The green bar on the right represents the pie-in-the-sky most insanely optimistic output of all the green technologies. Like, if they covered the entire country in solar panels and surrounded it with windmills and tidal power. It's basically a completely unreasonable estimate of the top-end of green energy production, and it doesn't even match the consumption bar.

The music industry specifically has this problem. The video and gaming industries watched what happened to music and learned a lot of lessons about what not to do.

For example, they didn't give up on DRM, and they funded a lot of their own services for online distribution (Steam, Hulu, etc.).

They also have been much more aggressive negotiating with 3rd parties. Netflix started developing their own content because it became clear that movie studios and TV producers would soon start pulling out, in favor of their own software platforms.

Vertical integration is the name of the game now. The ISPs are all buying content producers, the online stores are all developing original content, and the content producers are all selling out or doing partnership deals.

Tidal is an example of musicians trying to do the same thing, but they're so late to the party it might not matter.
Or, because Goober is slang for a bumpkin. The joke is that it's an inversion of Uber.
Most scientific studies are not funded to give those that paid for it false information to make them feel good. It is to get actual scientific data. You can lie to yourself in a bubble for much cheaper than paying teams of scientists to make up a fake reality for your own ego.
The head of the EPA is subject to Senate confirmation [1], so you could start with your senators. You could also contribute to organizations likely to lobby on climate change.

I think it's also worth looking at your own personal standing in society. E.g., many business owners are starting to recognize the economic costs of climate change, and they can talk to various business associations. People interested in national security also see climate change as a potential threat (due to disruption of large populations and increased competition for access to resources like water and arable land). I know some veterans have been speaking out on this. Climate change will have very broad effects, so many can speak out about what it means to them.

Oh man I totally disagree with this.

Elon Musk has almost "manifest destiny" ideas about the inherent goodness of America. He talks about the virtues of unfettered capitalism while his lobbyists keep India from playing in American satellite markets. He donated to Marco Rubio as well as to democrat candidates.

I don't think Musk is particularly principled. We're just lucky that he thinks rockets and alternative energy are cool.
