It's probably a little simpler than that. My guess is that, in the 2 pictures, the boys were friends and the girls were girlfriends of the boys.

It's also likely that one of the friends saw the photographer's advert and between them only had contact details for the other men. I doubt it's possible to extrapolate much as there were plenty of women in the other photos.

How about capping the salaries of doctors at, say, 100,000 and nurses at 60,000? US salaries in health care are incredibly high. Administration and the like could be capped at the nurse level. Only a very small minority could realistically get higher paying jobs outside the US anyway. If your main motivation is to make a lot of money, choose a different career.

Also, cap profits to almost zero while moving to a completely not-for-profit system.
HPC? NVidia is completely destroying AMD on the deep learning front. The most popular deep learning frameworks use CUDA and do not have stable OpenCL support out of the box.
Disclaimer: IANAL.

Most licenses disclaim liability.

99% of all software comes with an end-user license agreement saying “we aren’t liable for anything that’s gonna happen to you because of our software”. Also, EULAs sometimes (like in MS Windows) forbid usage of the software in safety-critical applications, defined as “device or system in which a malfunction of the software would result in foreseeable risk of injury or death to any person”

Other 1% of the software, legal teams underperformed and were unable to press public enough to accept similar agreements. So, in automotive, avionics and especially medical devices, users sometimes indeed sue manufacturers over faulty software. However, I’ve never heard about a process for hiring someone incompetent. People usually bring claims against companies for making a defective product, asking for compensation.
I have a disagreement with my neighbor, I'm taking him to court. The court of me, overseen by me, the court finds in my favor. Now I appoint myself to enforcement, with my deputies Smith and Wesson.

Letting people choose their own court is a terrible idea. It's basically binding arbitration for the masses.
Can you elaborate on what kind of apps are you developing and where you are getting good reuse? My apps are generally heavy on the UI and moderate data and I'm wondering where the sweet spot is.
"Where does HN get it's perfectly compatible partners from?"

Truth is women in our culture are still somewhat of a status symbol. My wife is essentially perfectly compatible with me that was achieved by not simply selecting the most physically attractive person who would marry me but instead finding someone who actually is a decent human being. Her ring cost under 50 dollars. She wants me to spend the short time we all have on earth with her, not working to buy her shiny rocks, a overvalued house or an expensive car so she can impress her friends. I wouldn't have it any other way.

A great book on this is Healing America by T.R. Reid, who saw doctors in eight countries about his bum shoulder and wrote about their healthcare systems. Interestingly, single-payer isn't the only good option, or even necessarily the best.

Canada was the only country with single-payer like we talk about in the U.S. The U.K. is single-payer but also single-provider, the doctors work for the government-run healthcare system.

But the best results were in France, Germany, and Japan. They function a lot like Obamacare (multiple insurance companies, though all non-profit, and mandates to buy insurance). However, they add several critical features:

- Government controls on the price of services. Doctors make a lot less money than in the U.S.

- No claim denials allowed for anything on the national price list. If a doctor prescribes it, prompt payment is guaranteed.

- Good digital medical records.

According to Reid, a lot of German doctors don't bother hiring office staff. They swipe your medical card, get all your records, prescribe what they want, and get paid in a week. They can charge less because their costs are lower.

At least one of those countries also has subsidized tuition for medical school, I think Japan. Japan has the lowest costs (only 5% GDP on healthcare, with great outcomes despite an aging population of smokers), and the tightest cost controls; e.g. they make do with simple MRI machines without a lot of bells and whistles, but they do the job, and an MRI costs $100. Japan implements their mandate in an interesting way: you're free to not pay, but if you go to the doctor and you want it covered, you have to pay your back premiums.

Anyway, it's a fascinating book if you're interested in this stuff.
Or it is a side-effect of Apple's reality distortion field :)
I have not incorporated. It is expensive to incorporate in Delaware and to do it anywhere else is a big paperwork headache. (You'll need a board of directors, annual meetings, etc.) If you are making less than $20,000 a year it is probably not worth it, if you are making a lot more it probably is.

As for taxes, the penalties are not particularly punitive if you screw up and you have years to manage the situation before anything critical happens. In particular, if you go one year without making quarterly tax payments you will probably walk away with no penality.
It's not that far-fetched to imagine a wacky legal situation where you are exposed to some sort of liability for answering. He's doing the best thing in the circumstance.

There's nothing in this review that convinces me that the touch bar is improving anything. If anything, paragraphs like these convince me it's at best on par with just regular keys:

> you no longer have one-touch access to brightness and volume adjustments; instead, you need to tap the button and then dial in your changes on a slider that pops up beside — not beneath — your finger. I’d be annoyed by that, but fortunately you can move the slider without actually touching it, by keeping your finger held down on the bar. It’s surprisingly inelegant, in that you end up controlling a slider that you aren’t actually touching. But it is efficient, and I got used to the new control scheme within a day, able to operate it by muscle memory the same I would a physical key.

They don't seem to have integrated this themselves, even. Why introduce something that you can't even use reasonably yourselves?

What was Tokyo Like in 90'S?
In fact I do use a 12" Macbook for development (C++). It does alright; certainly no worse than the 2011 13" Air it replaced. I should mention the CLion IDE makes it get hot and drains the battery unless you turn off certain IDE features. Code::Blocks does fine on it performance-wise, but initially the UI was too fuzzy to read due to incompatibility with Retina display. I can't remember if that's fixed in the latest version or if I found a work-around. I haven't tried to use XCode. My favorite thing about it is that the taller aspect ratio of the screen reminds me of older 4:3 monitors and IMO is a better layout for programming.

Edit: I have yet to plug anything into the single USB-C port except the charger. I don't own any dongles. I just use WiFi and bluetooth.

I spent 3 years at the Vedanta Academy[0]. The experience was life changing, mostly ineffable.

If you pushed me, I'd say that it provided me with a solid set of first principles from which value judgements could be made. It seems like I was 'living randomly' before.

If you're interested, check out this talk[1] by the author. Then if you'd like to visit the Academy you could shoot a mail to visitinfo@vedantaworld.org

I have to wonder if part of the trend is that a generation of software developers came out of college and jumped into the startup scene during its most recent run. These folks are now forming relationships and starting families, or wanting to spend more time doing not-software dev things. They are realizing that stability in your job lets you do and plan other things in your life.
Given that there is no economic certainty in working for a small start up in a city with an astronomical COL, many are deciding the risk isn't worth the rewards.

It's also possible that there are really large challenges being undertaken which require resources that actual start-ups with 10 million in VC can't do. Things like autonomous cars (Uber isn't a start-up anymore IMO), rocketry, aerospace, energy, foundational biology. Is it possible that many great minds see these as more worthwhile pursuits?

There's probably a form of survivor ship bias going on here.

From the text he took a lot of photos. If he advertised in local newspapers, school/football club sites etc, he wouldn't need to find everyone. He'd just need find someone who could get a quorum of the people from a particular photo.

As such, it's probably more likely that he'd only find friends as he wouldn't need to find the group, just an individual. If, for example, he had found one of the girls but not a boy, chances are he wouldn't have taken the photo.

This is a huge step forward, as this means I don't have to buy a new laptop just to work with C# (I've been waiting for Black Friday just for this).

I wonder if this means SQL Server Express is coming as well, but that doesn't matter as much to me since I think Entity Framework takes care of working with a different database engine
Yes but creating an open source product that's reliable and useful enough to get installed in so many cars is a good thing.

How many developers need more capacity than the new MacBook Pro but still less than the largest laptops offer? The few non-gamers I know who are still CPU/GPU-limited are using clusters of machines because no single machine is large enough and in most cases it's significantly cheaper to rent capacity for the few times when they need it rather than pay up-front for something which will be idle a fair percent of the year.
That's what I do today but what often happens is I just never check them. Also some newsletters contain events or occasional time sensitive bits so partial filter has proved a challenge there. Curious to hear if you've experienced either of these.
Interesting idea that could co-exist with newsletters, but as a business person newsletters are the best. Seriously, nothing compares to a good list. Not Twitter, not Facebook, not Ads. It's gold.
NB: Steve Keen is a liberal economist from Australia (currently in London) who is doing ground-breaking anti-establishment work. He is well worth looking into regardless of your political outlook (I'm a conservative and he has changed my thinking on government deficit spending.)
I use C++ mostly like "C with classes" and for me (a low-level game programmer) it's close to ideal. It absolutely baffles me that there is not yet a language that's explicitly a thoughtfully-designed "C with classes".
Nothing currently wins over the format or ease of use of newsletters. This is why they're becoming MORE popular as an engagement tool. I think there's a vacant startup space for a tool that can beat newsletters for ease of both entry on the sender side and engagement by the recipients in the many-to-many communication mode.

I implore you to take some time and read at least one or two credible papers on the subject, because your understanding of fractional reserve banking is frankly too misinformed to unpack in the space of a forum comment. Suffice it to say I've certainly never seen any indication that removing easy availability of credit results in positive outcomes for the classes who already lack in capital. I'll include some links for you to get started at the bottom.

What can be addressed is the concept of affordable housing. Housing, to a certain degree follows a pretty tight supply and demand curve; put simply if you want affordable housing, pressure your local government to green light permits to build affordable housing[2].

I've owned horses too. It depends on what you want them to do. If you want to jump on their back and ride them around, sure. I don't do that personally, and while they don't read you like a dog can I've taken unsocialized "mean" horses and turned them into friendly companion horses with nothing but patience and the occasional cookie or carrot.

GWBasic is an old version of Basic used on PCs in the 1980s. I've used it as my online handle for about 20 years because the first time I logged into a dial up BBS, my GWBasic manual was the first thing I looked up when I had to come up with a handle.

For a period of time, googling for "GWBasic" lead to my home page, even though there is no mention of "GWBasic" on my web site.

I once got a support request for GWBasic. It was rather flattering, and my response basically went along the lines of "I haven't used GWBasic in 20 years and no longer have the manual."
Back when I was a grad student at Cornell I wrote a random number generator for Javascript (back before there was an RNG function for Javascript.)

It got used all over the web, including the home page of Peoplesoft, which set me up to receive a lot of spam, and then when the "Love Letter" virus and it's competitors came, I was getting something like a million viruses an hour. As of 2005 I was the biggest email recipient at Cornell.
You might want to look into Exponent. They're a YC startup that build a framework on top of React Native. https://getexponent.com/

The team is made up of a few React core devs and some ex-FB folks. They actually helped organize the last official React conf. The scope of what can be built using Exponent is expanding rapidly. And you can build apps that are virtually indistinguishable from Swift/Java apps.

If you want an example, I'd encourage you to download the Android version of this app: https://li.st/
For the power users, those of us who learn and have hotkeys streamlined into our work environment, the Touch Bar doesn't add much to us, except perhaps a new medium of fine controls (think sliders)

However to the users who aren't savvy, or who don't know hotkeys, this brings controls that would otherwise be in deep within the menu bar, right in front of the user. I think that could be incredibly useful to a lot of people.
You may have missed my point. Under sea cables that distance are proven tech. EX: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_to_England_Interco... a 40 MW 65 mile under sea cable.)

Knuth is such a class act. I don't think I've ever heard a negative story about him. Contrast him to, say, the harsh laguage Linus Torvalds routinely engages in or the many stories pointing out Steve Jobs' unfriendly side. I'm not 100% sure if you have to be a jerk to get ahead in life and lean towards 'yes' on this but when I see guys like Knuth, I wonder if nice guys do win sometimes.

As an 80s BBS kid, I thank you for this. I'm sure I used this many times over and never considered the author. I think this was commonly used to package text files for download back in the day.
Maybe I'm the exception to the rule, but I've been able to consistently spot a CZ, even from a distance. I thought maybe it was just the average cut of a CZ, but doing a blind comparison between similar quality cuts of CZ and diamonds with a jeweler friend, I was able to pick out the CZ first try every time.
Kotlin is a breeze compared to Java, and it's conceptually similar to Swift (syntax, null safety, type inference etc). I love Kotlin but it's not with it's own quirks.

I would love to see a true cross-platform solution, but honestly it's a dead end in my experience. I would say C++ comes close, but I wouldn't be surprised if people feel unwelcome due to it's syntax and quirks.
If they came across and were familiarized with your name and email address in multiple locations, I wouldn't want to make them angrier for the 1% who are going to go manage to find my address somewhere and come find me. Best to just not touch the situation at all.
Car ownership today, as then, is actually a pretty big financial hurdle for the poor. Cars are probably the most expensive way of getting to work. Let's count how they are expensive:

1) Large initial capital outlay; back in 1950 this might be $1500 but your earnings might be $3300 a year. You'd either need to get a loan, save up a significant portion of your salary, or get a used car (which were less plentiful as car ownership was much lower and earlier cars were less reliable)

2) You need to pay for ongoing maintenance. Oil changes, tires, etc. all add up. In the 50s the cars were more mechanically simple, so probably the labor costs were much lower (you'd probably do at least a portion of it) but there was more work to be done. Oil changes were more frequent, things like points had to be adjusted, etc.

3) Gas is not free. In the 50s this was in the $2.00 per gallon range in 2016 dollars. Cheap, but again not free

4) Parking costs money, then and now

Compare that to the previous costs:

1) Buy bus / train / subway / streetcar ticket

2) Shoes

It's much easier to afford a single trip as there is no capital outlay involved.

You're thinking like a well off software engineer. Think like a poor person.

Several of my family members have trouble getting to work because of unreliable and expensive car based transportation. They work just above minimum wage.

Their town has no real public transit to speak of, except in one or two unreliable bus lines, so getting to work is an actual hurdle.
Should there be a HTTP verb for 'list' or 'search'?
Yes. From a Singapore Digital Ocean instance I cannot lookup domains (using dig) for the company I work for that have DNS hosted by godaddy.com. I am able to resolve some personal domains hosted on custom DNS servers. Weird.

A dig +trace works fine until it times out at godaddy:

Twitter Money How to earn $100/day
Even if you want to publish a phone number, you can get a voip number for under $1/mo from many providers these days and redirect it as needed, block numbers, send to voicemail, etc. Complete control over it and complete separation. It may have made sense at one point but today it seems crazy.
Disclaimer: I work for AWS.

To solve problems just like these, we offer EBS (elastic block storage) with provisioned IOPs guarantees. Essentially, you can get guaranteed IOPs if you need it for I/O intensive applications; up to 30,000 IOPs per EBS volume.

But, PIOPs EBS volumes wouldn't be my first recommendation. It sounds like what they really need is an elastic, scale-out filesystem with NFS semantics. We have Elastic File System, or EFS, which is exactly that. It's a petabyte scale filesystem that is highly available across multiple availability zones, and scales in IOPs and performance as it scales in size.

Their application should also look at leveraging S3 object storage, rather than NFS, because that is a highly distributed, highly available object storage system, that is likely to give better scalability, availability, and performance, than rolling your own Ceph infrastructure.
Pointless and amusing. Thumbs up.
