The flaw in this analogy is that the current top earners (CEO, traders, White collar) net contribution to society has no correlation with the money they extract from the system. Does a CEO improving his company market value by firing people have the same contribution to society as a paramedic saving a life, a nanny taking care of a baby so the parents can work or a teacher educating kids?

These are highly valuable services provided to society that are not rewarded in either status or the current social credits.

I went to Mae Khlong a few years ago, the long way round: a train to Mahachai, ferry to Ban Laem and finally the train that actually rolls through the market.

Other than the train that barrels through every now and then, it's much like every other market in Thailand. That said, it's a good day trip, especially if you take a tuk tuk over to the floating market at Amphawa afterward.
There were one thread here at HN about it that took some time until the first posts went on discrediting the news.

That's the point of theverge: one reports it because another site did it and nobody wants to be the one who didn't have any headline about such event. Which site wants to be the last one to publish something?

Source checking takes a time, being left out of the event costs too much...

(disclaimer: I did comment on the previous thread)
>When a plumber gets satisfaction from a good day's work of fixing piping in people's houses, do they get their purpose in life / sense of being needed and useful (note: not the same thing!) from an authority figure? Hell no, unless you think clients are authority figures.

>But they are getting this sense from their work.

I guess I wouldn't say that self-employed professionals have a job. I think of it as a self-employed versus wage-labor distinction.

>Full employment can offer such a social framework (if done right, of course), while a UBI can't (no matter how it is implemented). Who are you to deny this to other people just because they're different from you?

This is, of course, where we actually disagree. I think that while a UBI is by no means a perfect solution to human worth or psychological needs, it's a much better solution than "full" employment to people's material needs, while many many alternatives remain besides employment for the psychological needs. It's a continuous tradeoff made under uncertainty, and we should talk about where we believe the tradeoffs are.
I don't like when people compare mental issues to physical disease because three doctors will all diagnose the same cancer as cancer, not so with e.g. anxiety. (Not to mention the race, class, and gender biases that come into play with diagnosing mental issues).

Beside that, there is some element of choice if the condition exists at the time you decide to make the other person your partner. If you meet someone with cancer and decide they'll be your partner, well, you make that choice and everything that comes with it. This is why I say I can't do it. I tried once, for a long time. If your partner becomes ill at some point after that, well, that's life. And it could just as easily have been you.

But anyway, yes, it's hard no matter what. Illness is bad, and sad, and it makes life hard for everyone.

He was drinking lots of protein shakes... It wasn't that he was maxing out at 1500, it is that he didn't seem to want much more than that. With the amount of protein shakes and other things he was eating, anyone else would have gained fat at the very least. He lifted, too, but he wasn't that dedicated, so idk.
It's really simple, if you need to be on Facebook, just set it up to send you notifications to your email. Only check Facebook when you get a notification.

Good to know, thanks for the info. Hopefully in VS "16", then.
Really? Stripe doesn't have big volume? That seems... surprising
> All they have to do is be somewhat less greedy.

Or alternatively, implement something to stop the "elites killed, their wealth stolen [etc]" bit.

Completely co-incidentally :), technology to monitor/influence large numbers of people seems to be happening, and research/development/manufacturing of automated weaponry for the er... "self defence" of said elites seems to be on the agenda.

Gee, that sounds like it'll end well doesn't it. :(

They have no reason to. The idea of commingling is they can pick the best warehouse to ship from when a customer orders instead of (potentially) shipping across the country. They actually like commingling because it helps their logistics.
How do we decide what to build? Or who to give money to to build those things?
Something thats probably worth pointing out, deciding that you are going to go into a specialty in criminal enterprise doesnt make you wealthy. The same amount of hard work is required to become a drug dealer and make a living as is required to do other jobs and make as adequate living, actually it requires a lot more work.

Obviously this is not relevant to the entire article, but I would suggest doing something like reading freakonomics before making what are imperically wrong statements.

Not that I dissagree entirely with the overall argument made by the article. I just feel like some of the examples could have been researched a little more.
A lot of commands know about patch nowadays.
Someone needs to create a let's encrypt of facebook and twitter. Just an API to facilitate social networking. Everything automated. Everything in a user controlled silo to share with whatever app they want. That's right there a multi-billion dollar industry you can bring down over night with probably a few million dollars in investment. Google should do it as a strategic move. Embrace the open internet.
yeah, braintree only has a potential benefit over stripe once you're forced to start caring about conversions & breakages (countries that expect to use PayPal, old people who trust the brand, etc)

Agreed regarding the disappointing flavor. My wife and I enjoy sampling a wide variety of foods (e.g., we've recently tried horse tenderloin [delicious], pork brains [bland], wild boar liver [extremely tasty]). We went to a fancy place that had some truffle offerings, and we were excited about trying them, but neither of us liked it at all. It was a strong, not great flavor resembling minced garlic that had been burned to a dry charcoal crisp.
"To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. On the off chance that military and political analysts are right, in the next few months we must test the enemy's intentions, in case this is indeed his last big gasp before negotiations. But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could." - Walter Cronkite, definitely opinion.

I think that bad establishment news and "fake news" being relevant at the same time isn't a coincidence. The lack of trust in the establishment news sources opens a market for alternatives. However working outside the establishment is inherently the Wild West, so what you're going to get may well be even worse on average. But it's very important to keep around because some of it will be much better for certain topics, and it'll at least keep the establishment in check.
No. 23andme.com only provides SNP information on the most common few hundred thousand variants (mine has ~600k called), typically those which are present in >=1% of the population. With these sorts of mutations with serious fatal effects, the mutations are, for obvious reasons, present in <<1% of the population. So 23andMe is very uninformative about rare mutations like in OP. (23andMe does provide an exome sequencing service, which might cover OP's mutation, but it would still miss many other problems, and due to its high price of ~$900, has never been popular - at that price point, you might as well get a whole-genome.)

If you want paypal, why not use PayPal?! You think Stripe could turn into an multinational bank/processor/transmitter/card network/tokenizer/anti-money laundering quasi governmental entity plus whatever the hell else PayPal is without having the same problems PayPal does?
Do you only recommend prescription drugs? I'm asking because dietary supplements have reportedly also worked for mood disorders. See e.g. the book of Julia Ross, "The Mood Cure".
So how is this different from say SNL perpetuating the false notion that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house? Call it satire and you're free to propagandize all you want. Only after the anointed candidate of the power lost, must we examine the means by which propaganda (specifically that we find unfavorable) is disseminated. Fake news is the crop you reap when you show mass censorship. Trying to double down on the censorship will only hasten your irrelevance.
We had the same issue. Our 120V circuit couldn't recharge fast enough overnight to handle ~ 50 miles daily of commute/errands. We ended up getting a 240V/40AMP circuit installed for a 32AMP charger and now it charges in ~ 3 hours. The faster charger also meant we could time it to always use the night time electricity rates.
No, ActionCable for this one, it's a Go service that's handling the websockets.
People need to educate themselves about corporate medias 'fake news' and how long they have been pedaling it.

This hysteria being whipped up by them has an agenda. And its more then likely an attempt to push for censorship of the independant free press.
Ask HN: Those of you making 200k+ what do you worry about?
I want to get answers directly from the source itself. A lot of people here make 200k or more in jobs or business. What dp you worry about most?

I think there are differences

IfI just met you, and you say you got a real condition, like tourette, I will probably believe you, because I think tourette is real.

But if you would tell me you had fibromyalgie, I wouldn't believe you, because I don't think it's a real condition.

This has nothing to do with how long I knew you.
Bingo. It's not a work problem; there's so much work to do. The problem is who will pay and how much.
Yeah, I think the used marked for ICE cars will be with us for a long time. There will always be people who need a car and don't have the savings to buy a new one, and if used ICE cars are cheap people will continue to buy them and drive them until they aren't worth fixing. So, there's probably a ten or twenty year lag between when ICE cars are no longer worth making and when ICE cars are no longer widely used.

(Some googling led to a claim that the average car life expectancy is about 8 years and 150,000 miles. That seems low to me, but maybe I'm biased by having owned long-lived reliable cars.)
More importantly: Being wrong costs nothing, being late costs everything.

I'm not sure what can be done to increase the costs for being wrong, but as a whole humanity does need to find a way to solve that.

So, real-world Onion News?
Very little of people's assessment of the state of the world is based on reality. Almost everything is better today than it has ever been (at least for humans, not so much for other species), but many (most?) people are still convinced that we're on the wrong track. To be sure, we have significant challenges ahead of us, and things could easily take a turn for the worse. But right now things are pretty awesome. We're in the middle of the longest stretch of world peace in history. There is less poverty (in terms of percentage of the population) than ever. People are healthier and living longer than ever. And we have Pokemon! It's a golden era.

I amended my comment, since I know that Walter did give opinion. That was not the spirit of my comment.

Thanks. According to Snopes, the story is False [1]. It's pretty ridiculous that "credible" news sources can write a story like this and then take no responsibility when it's wrong. I don't think it's enough to just correct a story after the fact. There should be a fine or search engine punishment, or something along these lines.

For instance, I read this story earlier on Variety and it was presented as fact. If you go back to the same url [2] the story and headline have completely changed.

I don't like that the numbers get added randomly, but pretty fun otherwise
HY4 - Zero emission electric air taxis with hydrogen fuel cells
Probably the McKinsy report: http://mckinseyonsociety.com/downloads/reports/Education/UXC...

Most notably, the number comes from self-reporting. So this could range from "barista" to "sales" to "software engineer".

I'm not particularly surprised when someone's first job out of college doesn't make use of their education. But there's a huge difference between a business major going into sales to learn an industry (or a code monkey stuck on a boring project they could've worked on in high school), and an English major becoming a taxi driver.

In short, from the data, it's impossible to distinguish between "putting in your time" or "bad first assignment", and "actually under-utilized".

* This doesn't generalize well to STEM graduates, where the numbers are closer to 75%.

IMO the GP's assessment that we've reached "peak school" is absolutely incorrect. Rather, we've seen a big shift in the type of labor that's needed in a short time frame. If a freshly minted college grad can fetch $100,000+ and great benefits, then "peak school" isn't a real problem yet.
Wow. Internet startups FTW.
Gotcha, agreed. My first comment was based on a surface reading of your comment. Retract.

(slight quibble about your example: a fulminating socialist could just as well make that statement in the absence of impropriety. the additional information that that's the best possible report would indeed make it sound like a meow.)
Yeah, I agree that they are more suited to designing new languages rather than parsing existing ones.

Parsing toy languages is not a big deal -- but then I have to make the observation that metalanguages are solving precisely the problem that's not a big deal.

But parsing real languages is a big deal. How many C, C++, Perl, Ruby, or shell parsers are there? How many text editors or lint tools contain poor implementations of such parsers?

Those are languages people actually use. I think the lesson is that humans can understand more complex languages than "standard algorithms" can, and they PREFER those languages (as shown by voting with their feet).

Metalanguages should be designed for the languages that people actually use rather than constraining them to an artificial model.
Authorize.net (unlike Stripe or Braintree) will also allow to obtain your own merchant account, at whatever rate it charges you, and use their payment gateway. In that case, they do not charge the 2.9%.

"Facebook everywhere -- Facebook is already on our phones and computers, pestering us with notifications"

One thing that iOS got right from the very beginning is granular, a la carte permissions. While I have Fb installed, it has almost no access -- no gps, no contacts, no notifications. It cannot intrude, I need to consciously start the app to see anything Fb-related. Same with Messenger.

I've recently removed Fb's media access (called "Photos" on iOS) because I noticed it was doing collages of the photos I took previously during the day -- I would like to think they are not uploading any data from my gallery to their servers, but would not put it past them.

Also, the mobile web version is usable, I think they purposefully hold it back to push people to the app, but you can get by. Because I'm not sure if they're scanning my gallery and extracting/communicating metadata back to their C2, I now do picture uploads thru mobile web, that way they do not have permanent access to my media. Would be nice for this to be an app permission, one-time and/or user action-initiated access vs the current permanent access, which includes unrestricted background access.

Another permissions to disable is "Background App Refresh," which if you have notifications disabled there should be no reason to have enabled. They can send a C2 ping which has IP information and who knows what other device profiling which, even with GPS disabled, can still probably give them a lot of information on your whereabouts. Unfortunately, on iOS, the main Fb app is implemented in a tricky way and does not even list itself in the main app permissions list, you need to find some of the permissions individually, and BG App Refresh does not appear to be defeatable. The Messenger app does list itself normally and can have all the perms turned off in one place.
I don't think I'm at the point where I need something like Xero. Slimvoice, however, looks very presentable.

There is a wide continuum of lawlessness; this fish market seems to be close to the benign side, where the setting is risky but people have good intentions.

As less and less people have a choice about their condition, you get to self-governing slums. Towards the far end of the scale, you find places like Kowloon Walled City, Saipan in the 1980s, and Mong La in Myanmar -- places which external law has failed to penetrate, and are rife with the exploitation of people.
If you see that much of a difference, you weren't being cynical enough.
Amazon has long had a reputation for high engineer turnover and brutal office climate. I wonder if a constant talent bleed is finally manifesting in the quality of their product.

It's pretty bad that some third party startups are offering products to determine if Amazon reviews are likely fake and Amazon with all of their resources doesn't seem to be doing it themselves.

This feels like MySpace all over again. It's clearly possible to build a superior product, in contrast to something like Google who have constantly reinvented themselves to stay on the top of the curve... it doesn't look good..
True; many/most street food vendors are allowed to be present in Bangkok because of an unwritten understanding with authorities. Eventually when the government wants to claim the space for a clearer sidewalk or building development, they set a date by which the vendors in that area need to move on.

The Collison's will probably use this money for growth & new products. Growth in the form of country expansion and new products which are probably along the lines of something like "Radar" and less like a full scale PayPal alternative.
