I hire the guy that read the papers and know who to hire :)

In an orchestra, the conductor is not replaceable but the instrument players are. Similarly, someone who allocates his or other's capital cannot be easily replaced very much like the worker's.

Your engineer leaves there are 100 others ready to take the place. Business owner leaves you'd have to find a buyer to keep everyone going.

This is different from a CEO funded by VC's where you are still replaceable but nevertheless a lot harder to replace than the cost intensive worker.

Being on the profit generating part of the business and cost intensive part of the business helped me understand why such discrepancy exists-those who are able to read and perform in chaotic and uncertain environments will always be valued than those who directly affect the margin's as a result of the monetary figure attached to their time which is always far more costlier because cost centres do not generate new revenues. Your top sales guy makes $9 for every $1 spent on him (+$8) where as your top engineer costs $3 for every $0 he generates (-$3).

tl;dr: revenue generators are king while cost generators are easily swappable due to the high supply of it as a result of it being a far safer and financially stable perception.
"Unless dependent employers compensate their H-1B workers above the required wage level, they must make
attestations regarding recruitment and non-displacement of U.S. workers"

Does this mean that a company can pay below the 130k if it can prove that it's not possible to hire an American even with higher wages?
Well, yeah. It has a smoothing effect on the sensor data. But you don't use it because you want a filter. You use it because you want to build a controller.
I think the point being made is that the people who his information was shared with leaned toward one political affiliation.

You need to stop, just for a second, and not look at this as a Democrat/Republican thing. When you have tens of thousands of people protesting it in countries outside the US (massive protests in London and around the UK yesterday) it's clearly beyond partisan politics and just about the issue. It's not red vs blue and it's certainly not left vs right considering our right is only about as right as your left.

Everyone I know (not exaggerating) knows about or has used services from BlaBlaCar.

Students use it regularly. Services like https://www.fromatob.de/ include it in the fare calculation.

Uber and Lyft are basically non-existent here.
The silver lining is that liberals will realize that maybe limited government is a good thing, because they can't always rely on their person being in power.

Yeah I've really enjoyed the last several weeks' display of disrespect for democratic results and the office of the executive. Very refreshing! If only we could convince people to hold on to this feeling!
My (non-Touchbar, 13 inch) MBP loses (2.4 GHz) WiFi when you plug in a USB-C hub, or Apple dongle with hard disk (noise goes up by about 25 to 30 dB -- depending on how good the WiFi is it's barely to not usable). The left shift key is unpleasantly sticky and non-clicky.

It's by no means a bad machine (retina is nice, keyboard is generally quite nice and crisp), but I'm not elated, particularly given that it was some $500 more expensive than the MacBook Air that it replaced.
You must live in some super privileged place; I wish I could find a 2013 Macbook Pro in a trash bin...

There's no way to win with ballpark pricing. Even if you have a consistent unit you sell by (servers, users, etc.), the feature set, volume, and contract term can move that price by a huge amount.

"Starting at $9 / month / server" starts all your pricing conversations at $9 / month / server, even if the solution they called to ask about is listed at $150 / month / server. That wastes a ton of sales time following up with people who can't afford what they think they can afford.

"Typically priced around $10,000" scares off people who might be able to buy a smaller package.
Services, basically digital content consumption (whether songs, or movies, or apps), is a very low profit business compared to hardware.

You're competing with Netflix, Google and Amazon there. Netflix and Amazon have near zero margin in their content businesses. Most of your profit is eaten up by licensing (or production as well now for AMZN & NFLX), and that is guaranteed not to change.

$20 billion in services sales, with $3 billion in operating income, won't scratch a $638 billion market cap (and won't compensate for tanking China iPhone sales if that doesn't immediately stop getting worse).
I have a new MacBook Pro, got two new LG 5K monitors with it and ran into this issue:

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/271120/connect-2-lg...

I haven't had any issues so far with crashing/instability except it once didn't wake from sleep properly and restarted its self. Still trying to work out if it was anything I did.
Sarcasm aside, it's an interesting point you make. Apple products often have an immediate visual and tactile impact that leads to impulse buys in the store. I haven't tried the new MacBook yet (not even in the store for a few minutes) but you've piqued my interest.
You seem to be making the assumption that people who make their living on a computer are "geeks". I think you're wrong. My wife makes her living on her computer. She's a working artist and spends much of her time in Photoshop. She loves her new MBP.

Programmers make up a tiny percentage of the target market.

Right and in San Francisco there is a ton of people making around the same amount as your friends likely which means there is a lot of competition in their demographic.

Now look at the houses priced $10-20m. If you can afford one of those are you going to start buying up the $1m stock because you can't find the one you want or are you going to build the one you want elsewhere?
Awesome, I will check it out. Thanks!
> I'm either plugged in at my desk or wireless elsewhere, so tripping over a cable was never really an issue for me once we hit the 5+ hour battery mark

I had the same reaction to the loss of magsafe. It was such a cool hardware feature, but ever since all-day batteries became the norm it's just not the same world as when we had to be constantly plugged in at every meeting, cafe, etc. Remember those days of always searching for outlets at cafes, and the rats nest? Mostly gone.
Anyone who can afford and BMW can afford to lease one to avoid all this crap.
Ideally you'd use Tandem along-side your text editor. It's not meant to replace writing code - I think in most cases it's easier to write code by hand than use a visual tools. Though, I think there are cases where it's easier to use visual tools against a live application preview for making small adjustments - that's where Tandem fits in.

Here's a better video demo to help demonstrate this:

I don't have a 2016, but I won't miss Magsafe. In every situation where Magsafe would have protected my laptop, it has failed to do so. If I grab my cable and yank as hard as I can, all that happens is the laptop slides across the desk. Every time I have tripped on the cable, it's pulled the laptop to the edge of the table, not unplugged. I imagine this problem becomes more common the lighter the laptop gets.

The only time Magsafe breaks like it's supposed to is when it's sitting on my lap and my leg bumps it, pushing it straight up. Which is just an annoyance, not a safety feature.
Business owners cited religious reasons to deny service to black people too. The KKK was founded as a nominally Christian organization.

Folks who fought for Jim Crow laws did not view themselves as willfully evil people who discriminated for no reason. They viewed their own support of segregation as a principled moral stance. That's why they fought so hard.
True, but not likely with beer except in the case of rations from what I understand. Its not quite like watering down wine or rum.
You don't have to "replace peripherals" in most cases. USB-C to USB2 and USB3 cables exist. Just buy a cable and enjoy not having to guess which way is up for the first time ever.

The only major pain point is really the monitor.
And the result is that Reagan-Bush were strongly supported by the intelligence agencies.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Surprise_conspiracy_th... for a conspiracy theory about how far that support might have gone. (I personally put that theory in the range, "quite plausible, but unproven".)
Yes. Please explain how a blanket travel ban on entire countries helps national security.
ACLU is not that organization, and doesn't claim to be.

But then I hope you're not sending a single cent of your money to NRA, either? I mean, they also don't "support the Constitution, completely and fully", right?

Or is that okay because they're explicitly scoped to the Second Amendment?

If so, then ACLU is in the same exact boat, being explicitly scoped to everything other than the Second. And then some: ACLU is the American Civil Liberties Union, not American Constitutional Liberties Union - US Constitution to them is a tool to aid in protecting the civil rights they care about, it's not a definitive list of rights that are worth defending.

We should just deprecate setenv(). There is no need for it because we have execve().

I suppose there is system() on non-POSIX, but then you don't have a portable shell anyway nor do you have portable environment variables. You're off in 100% non-portable territory at that point, so no point having it in the standards.

You forget the one probably underlying problem: the feeling that Apple has given up or on its way to give up the Mac.

As you said, there is not major failings in the new MBP ... but it comes after 2 years wait, in a side event (i.e. not really the big front stage for this "Back to the Mac"), with muddled message. Apple has made bold decisions in this Mac but didn't follow up by giving the impression it was behind it. You get USB-C, yeah, hopefully maybe some third party will do cool stuff, like screens because Apple is not doing those anymore, ... It is also bad timing with the phasing out of the Wifi Router dropped like that as an unremarkable footnote despite being key in cloud feature like "Back to my Mac" or "Time machine". There was a definitive feeling that something was off.

MacRumors all black buying guide, Apple regular lack of comment about its future plan made that feeling even worse.

Twice in a month after that, Apple had had to confirm that they are still committed to the Mac, both to the public and to their own employees ! That's what people are concerned about. Nobody wants to buy into a dying ecosystem and Apple 2016 has done very little for the Mac. We will see how 2017 turns out, but I'm part of the people that prefer to wait until November 2017 to see if Apple is now sliding the MBP into a bi-yearly release cycle to decide if it is time to think about a plan B.

edit: Forgot to mention. I think on its own that the new MBP is a great machine, I'm itching to get one. I'm actually delaying the purchase decision as much as possible for the reason mentioned above.

This. I've seen agencies that look like they're 11s on the give-a-shit scale. Usually it's interactive creative design agencies that are both small enough and young enough to really care about their reputation.

That said, using an agency to build your startup probably isn't the best idea for so many reasons.
That's not an excuse either.
I'll tell you a story that happened to me

One day as I went down to Cork by the sea

The sun it was hot and the day it was warm,

Says I a quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm

I went in and I called for a bottle of stout

Says the barman, I'm sorry, all the beer is sold out

Try whiskey or paddy, ten years in the wood

Says I, I'll try cider, I've heard it was good.

Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again

If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten

I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up

10% is easy with modern equipment and yeast, but remember that pure yeast strains didn't exist until Emil Hansen isolated one at the Carlsberg Laboratory in 1883 [1]. In Early Modern times people used whatever yeast happened to grow locally, saved between batches as "barm" (flocculated yeast). Selection pressure with this propagation technique is primarily for flocculation ability, and it produces strains much more flocculant than wild strains. These strains have lower attenuation because they drop out of suspension before all the sugar is fermented. Try reaching 10% ABV with a traditional English strain like Fermentis Safale S-04 - it's pretty much impossible.

I love the idea of a "free market in education" in theory but I do think that we have enough data to know that '"poor people will not be educated" by such a system.'

Every implementation of a freer market for education that I've read about has had a significant amount of scamming and kids left behind.

We have a free market for food, we subsidize food for poor people, and the market for food is much 'thicker' and 'fluid' than the market for education -- but we still have food deserts. If the free market + subsidies can't make healthy food available to everyone, what chance do we have with education.

Show HN IRL (Mountain View, California)
Local to Mountain View (South Bay)

=== SHOW HN IN REAL LIFE ===

== What ==

A recurring local meetup for people building stuff to show others their stuff (and hang out with other people building stuff).

== Why ==

Building stuff alone at home is lonely and sometimes you get stuck with an obscure technical problem that someone else has already figured out.

Also, having a peer IRL support group that meets regularly can help keep you accountable to shipping that cool half-baked hobby project of yours, even if version 0.1 isn't pretty.

And oh, make some cool new friends.

== Where ==

Mountain View, California.

Exact location TBD, but likely, at a coffee shop. Probably, Red Rock Coffee on Castro St. (Caltrain accessible)

== When ==

First meetup this weekend-ish, depending on when most people would prefer to meet.

(A) Fri evening (2/3/17)

(B) Sat afternoon

(C) Sat evening

(D) Sun afternoon

(E) Sun evening

== Contact ==

Drop me an email if you're interested and tell me which of the times above you can make.

I'd love to meet some new people IRL and show y'all some stuff I've been hacking on for some thoughts :)

Email me here:

ACLU is not in the business of protecting the Second Amendment, and they're upfront about it.

NRA is not in the business of protecting the First Amendment, and they're upfront about it.

Why do you have a different standard for ACLU compared to NRA? You're saying that you're unwilling to financially supporting them, not based on what they do, but based on what they do not. How does what they do not diminish the utility of what they do?
It's simple economics. H1B's increase the supply of developers in the US, relative to the demand. And that drives the price of developers (i.e. wages) down. I don't think any intelligent person can fail to understand that.

To answer your question, I don't have trouble finding or keeping employment. This move will simply drive up my market value. So I'm for it.

4 shots of whiskey is quite a lot but for many people wouldn't lead to anything resembling drunk if consumed over a period of several hours.

And it made perfect sense in the age before refrigeration. Since alcohol doesn't spoil it's a great way to achieve long-term storage of calories from grains (beer, whiskey) or fruit (wine, brandy). For many centuries the French peasant would be sustained in his daily labors by the bottle of wine in his pocket.

In rural areas alcohol was a necessity, not a luxury. Part of the reason why the young Federal government ran into trouble imposing what it thought was a tax on vice [1].

Conservatives are the ones that created this nightmare in the days after 9/11.

The secret surveillance goes to the FISA surveillance act, from back in 1978.

I'm not inclined to put a party's stamp on this, I too believe it's systemic. But if you must, that was under Democrat Jimmy Carter's Presidency, with large Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress.
>> "I haven't been to a bank ATM in over 10 years."

I'm curious how this is possible or if you're exaggerating. I live in London, so a pretty well connected city, and although I can use card/contactless almost everywhere I still need cash about once a week as some small places won't accept card. 10 years ago I'm sure cash was much more necessary.
I'm not saying it's not constitutional, just that it is unrelated to civil liberties and should probably be outside their purview if they're to be a politically neutral organization.
I don't mean "on the stage" so much as the way Shakespeare -- and other public domain works, like Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, or Dracula -- forms the nucleus of new works of art. Every few years a new director or actor will put their spin on Sherlock Holmes -- two movies starring Robert Downey Jr, one staring Ian McKellan, and two on-going TV series. Romeo and Juliet is the basis for like a hundred movies, sometimes with tragic endings and sometimes with happy ones.

Retelling well-known stories with slight variations or twists is something humans have been doing for millennia.
