Thanks for posting that; I definitely misunderstood the mechanism. The effect is the same though (price control on base interest rates), just with a more convoluted series of steps.
> "The solution is a steady increased supply of market-rate housing."

Politically induced zoning density restrictions which benefit landholders over tenants and those who wish to buy housing should be reversed and then allow markets to create more housing. The cost of the high cost of housing is for this reason -- a market failure called "rent seeking." Fix the market inefficiency, -- the market failure -- and everyone but landholders benefit.
There are bigger problems with nuclear powered cargo ships than just waste disposal. They would need larger crews of highly trained (more expensive) experts to operate the reactor. Look at how much the US Navy spends to train competent technicians and engineers.

Every nuclear powered ship becomes a prime terrorist target, either to hijack it or destroy it in place and cause a radiological incident. So you also need constant armed security (also expensive).

A more practical way to have "nuclear powered" ships would be to use electric power from land based nuclear plants to manufacture synthetic hydrocarbon liquid fuels, then load that fuel on the ships. Nuclear plants on land are far more cost effective since they can be built much larger to achieve economies of scale on operations and security.

Adding to this, we often see a pattern of Innovation -> Commoditization -> Aggregation.

Cloud computing is currently in the commoditization phase. The next step is aggregation.

There will be an opportunity for a company that successfully "abstracts away" the many different cloud providers, creating a single interface to a computing marketplace with supply spanning all providers.

There are a few companies trying to do this that I've seen. Can't remember the names offhand, but I know packet.net partners with one of them to sell their excess capacity.
Fathers today spend far more time with their children than they did 30+ years ago. [1] is an example study, but this is far from the only one showing this trend. Check out the 2nd graph in particular. Anecdotally, I leave for work at 6 AM, and am home at ~4-5, and have time to coach one kid's basketball team, lead another one's Cub Scout den, and spend most of the weekend doing family stuff.

It's not an accomplishment of EU, it's because of the reduced significance of European powers.

When England and France and Germany etc fought, they were huge colonial powers (or wannabe powers), controlling large parts of the world. So they were in competition, and there were great stakes from the outcomes of such battles.

After the 50s or so such a war would have been insignificant as they don't have much to split. And of course Germany was in diapers and closely parented, split into Eastern and Western Germany.

So the US and USSR took their place on the global arena, as major powers that competed with one another at a global scale (and thus justified a Cold and several warmer proxy wars).

For the periphery of Europe (e.g. Balkans and Eastern Europe) there was another reason for the early 20th century wars: there were many nation states formed quite late and still fighting to define their borders and control. After they have solidified into a more or less homogeneous population and solid borders, there was less reason that war (and if there was one, it would be civil war).

But unlike the global ingignificance of the old colonial powers (which doesn't seem to reverse course), the above balkanization might re-appear again, in the form of a split between the "native" population and a large, not-really-assimilated immigrant population in some countries -- which, in 2030 or 2050 or so, can turn into wars between those parts of the population.
>But I also think it's totally wrong to say we don't have a technology labor shortage. The best evidence of this are the salary numbers for people with math and science degrees. It's not because physics and math suddenly got more valuable. It's because tech is so starved for labor it's hiring people from different disciplines to do the job and it's actually brought the average salaries in line with CS and engineering graduates.

This series of claims is so different from the reality that myself and many others have observed that I don't even know where to begin. Physics graduates are literally jumping off of buildings because of how poor their employment prospects are. Can you provide any sources for the statements you just made?
>people getting scammed or worse by shady drivers or landlords

People get scammed by shady taxi drivers and landlords all the time. Regulations don't work. Haven't you heard about all the taxi drivers who don't take credit cards because "the card reader is broken"? I've had this happen many times, and I don't even use taxis very much.
I also thought about it, but I do not see people flocking to synthetic biology. I have the feeling they are further from big breakthroughs, but this might just be my environment ...
Unpaid internships are illegal, if the intern is doing real work for the company. https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.htm
Thanks for the great report!

I'm looking forward to seeing how Rust (as well as its standard library) will be tweaked to become easier to learn (which is a goal for 2017). I don't think you'll be able to reduce these 2 weeks to 2 days this time next year, though.

You are one of the first people/companies using diesel in production, btw, which is really awesome! I hope we can help you get rid of your dependency on plain postgres sooner rather than later :)
The author seems to disregard studies that don't back up the claim:

Academics with industry funding claim otherwise, but one can see how it makes basic economic sense...
I would like to see some over the counter take home device that lets you figure out what spikes your blood sugar, and then creates a diet tailored to. I'd be okay with some finger pricking device.

Yes, decreasing caloric intake can cause weight gain - I want to know what the most effective ones to cut are, and replace them with less potently delivered ones.
To a large degree, the ongoing utility of Perl 6 depends upon the continued vibrancy of the CPAN community. IMHO, CPAN is anything but vibrant by today's standards.

While CPAN hosts a vast archive of nearly 35,000 modules[1], many are aging. Fewer than 800 modules are known to exist for Perl 6.[2]

[1] http://www.modulecounts.com/
[2] https://modules.perl6.org/
> ... be otherwise explained?

A few things: you asked about it being unavoidable. Remember, the rust compiler and standard library is a near decade long project evolving extremely rapidly. This means that many things in the compiler aren't exactly done the best possible way as if you wrote things from scratch today. The standard library is shaping up. But a _lot_ of time and effort has been put in towards modernizing things. Years of your language changing as you implement your language is a recipe for lots of tech debt.

Furthermore, you asked about a lot of stuff that's _not_ in the standard library too, so it's not clear that pointing at the standard library is a good way to demonstrate how those things are developed as well. And while we have developed a decent set of stuff in the standard library for these cases, it's not like stuff just gets added anymore, either.

So, lots of reasons.
I am not in the country anymore. Was in US for 4 years. Left it for Canada as a permanent resident.
There are a couple reasons why there are so little people in jail in the Netherlands and not all are positive. Crime reporting rate has never been lower. People have very little confidence that reporting a crime will lead to the criminal getting caught or even convicted.

Many crimes are not solved. The crime solve rate is about 2-3% which means out of that small number of actual reported crimes only a marginal amounts get solved.

Out of those solved crimes only a percentage reaches an actual conviction for the criminal.

It's very common for judges to pass a community services punishment or an electronic ankle bracelet house arrest.

Lastly. Our current police and justice department like to do magic with the statistics to make everything seem like a colourful rainbow world where no crime happens at all.
No, Google interns are paid more than most devs in Europe.
Iraq, where US contributed to the establishment of the present regime and where some remaining American soldiers are still there, does not share information with you? Seriously.

If sharing information with you as you said here is the most important yardstick,rather than subtle religion test,why is North Korea is not on the list?
Pay tax in your home country and travel on Tourist Visa's where visa's are required or expedient.

Make sure payments are made to your home country bank account and not to any kind of local account.

Do that and be relatively discrete about what you're doing and you'll have no problems whatsoever. DO NOT try to explain what you're doing to any immigration/officials/authorities, simply say you're a tourist which in practical terms you are.
"If you have $1000-$5000 (or more), you can fly out to Vegas for the weekend, have a really good time (gaming is only part of that), fly home, and you've got a significant chance that you'll either win or break even"

FYI Vegas is built on rubes like you.

There is a larger chance you will lose money than break even or win money.

If there was not, Vegas would not exist and its business model would have failed a long time ago.

Their business model works because the House wins.

For the House to win and be profitable, the average person has to lose on average.

If you're going to have fun, that's a great experience, but if you think there's a "significant chance" you're going to not lose, you're exactly why Vegas does as well as it does.
I think what you're describing almost exists for C++ in the form of libclang. Editors really prize uniformity and predictability, to give users a comfortable experience, which is why I think libclang is so unwieldy if you try to integrate it into an editor fully—I tried with emacs once. So, despite all the massive effort put into clang, it gets incorporated piecemeal, one IDE feature at a time.
Yes, at a higher level, dumbed down installers with reasonable default settings. Deploying whatever applications are popular at shared hosts, like Wordpress, Drupal, Magento, BBS software, and so forth.

And providing some equivalent to Cpanel for things like OS patches, domain management, SSL certificate management, automated backups, web analytics, file manager, etc. Cpanel's license costs are pretty high...they charge per customer / per month, and so it sets a minimum bar for what you can charge.

If you incorporated additional functionality, you could capture more of the market. What wix.com does, for example.
I think you mean Inline::Perl5: https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5. It doesn't parse Perl 5 and run it inside of Perl 6 though, it just runs the Perl 5 interpreter for you from a Perl 6 program and lets you marshall data between the interpreters. It's a legitimate technique.
If your study is claiming that software engineer compensation rose no more rapidly than the population at as a whole (they also saw a 5% increase), then something is deeply wrong with your study.

Note that "Computer and math occupations" is a broad catch-all term which includes all sorts of professions, such as:

I suspect that a likely reason is that Boeing is headquartered in Chicago, which doesn't fall under the purview of the Ninth Circuit. They may or may not be party to a similar filing for the Seventh Circuit.
Nice idea, would be even better if you could filter based on location. This to me is even more important than subject matter.

There isn't much information but this reads more like an advertisement for google internships than anything else. Not to denigrate her work, she could very well be brilliant and have gone above and beyond, but from how it reads they could be blowing it up to make it seem like every intern has a huge impact and you could too! Either way good for her, but not sure why this is so high up on HN.
Frankly, investigating internet fraud seems like a fool's errand in most cases. I wonder what's the closing rate for those that do get investigated; probably minuscule.
Ask HN: Does Google adsense will work on HN type of website?
I am working on a website that pulls data from various website into one portal. But the items are linked to original website page. (Like how HN works)

Now i wanted to monetize it, would google adsense work in that case?
That's a good point. Copy left and open source have very different targets and just happen to share many characteristics.
In LA at least, this is common among high end restaurants. Certain chefs have relationships with specific farmers, or they have food buyers select the best produce at the Santa Monica Farmers Market. I suspect most restaurants just buy from normal distributors because it's cheaper though.

You're not in the grocery business. Your grocery store doesn't manipulate its prices giving it an unfair advantage against your store. Spirited disagreement != belligerence.
If you are a decent software developer there is a guaranteed job for you, unless you code in COBOL or FORTRAN. Heck, people are jumping ships and we hire people from English or Humanities background who go and do 6 months intensive coding boot camps. Wake up and go find opportunities for yourself. Jobs don't come to you. Get yourself out there and be known. Put your hobby projects on Github. Attend Meetups and network with people. People hire a lot at tech meetups.

The hubris and self-righteousness of SV billionaire bully-boys has reached the point where I'll favor practically anything that takes them down a peg. I'd love to see the Republican controlled federal government treat them the way the Democrats have treated, for example, the gun and coal industries.

If a gun manufacturer should be held liable for the results of people misusing a gun, then why shouldn't Airbnb be held liable for harm people may suffer as a result of renting or leasing through Airbnb?

It's still automatic. You don't need to call free.

The only difference is that you need to deal with whether or not things go on the heap, are refcounted, etc (but this decision is in the types, so you make it once and are done). Whether or not that's "manual" depends on your point of view. I consider it to be more along the lines of choosing guarantees.
Agree. It should be a two way street.
True, Bitcoin's historical ledger is pretty durable. The community split is more about its future. And I'm not referring to people arguing on internet forums, but about the split between Bitcoin's core developers and its biggest miner. One day such discord may actually be a good thing, but right now it is hindering basic fixes from being implemented.

That's moving the goalposts. The point of this is to reduce the energy cost of making ammonia, assuming you already have hydrogen gas available.

The article is not purporting to have conceived of a new energy source, only to have found a way to recuperate some of the cost of making ammonia, by extracting some energy from a step that ought to be a net energy producer.

Basically it says that the metabolic mechanism of fructose is different from other forms of nutrition. Our bodies have no good ways to break it down without harming ourselves. The long term effects of eating fructose are comparable to long term alcohol drinking. I assume nobody would say that calories from alcohol are the same as other food sources?
You mean people near you(like in your city?)? or people in similar timezone?
just want to point out that your link explicitly refutes your statement. They are not illegal and you linked to a test about legality of unpaid internships:

> There are some circumstances under which individuals who participate in “for-profit” private sector internships or training programs may do so without compensation.
Lottery based skilled visa means that there's many more skilled people on the other side, and less spots for them. Unless you have a way of quantifying extremely small differences in skill (and keeping the process balanced), I don't see how you feel a lottery is unfair.
> There is no way SV would have grown to what it is now without foreign talent. So the shortage has been real for the last 30+ years

I don't think you can prove this point, because you're arguing a counterfactual without proving the base claim that foreign talent was in fact necessary or that similar development wouldn't have otherwise happened.

You're also confusing what is meant be a labour shortage, which isn't about the absolute number of qualified candidates per se, but the number available at a given price. That is to say that there may be a sufficient pool of workers, but they demand a higher wage than firms would like to pay. As a result firms choose H-1Bs to suppress wages.
I wish for something more sophisticated than workflowy, but I can't stop using it!
That's fine... but they joined the WIPO and promised to uphold certain Intellectual property laws internally that are internationally the norm... except it looks like they aren't.

The high cost of housing is simply cause by the market failure or market inefficiency of zoning density restrictions which benefits landlords/land holders over the renters and those who wish to buy housing. Prices are higher because of scarcity and the scarcity is politically induced called "rent seeking". This rent seeking was first explained by David Ricardo regarding the "Corn Laws" which were a tax on imported grain causing workers to pay more for food/bread. Farmers received more money for their grain, but the landholders of the land the famers used simply charged higher prices.

Fix the market failure and free markets will create more housing. Renters will pay less for housing, there will be less commuting which causes less pollution. There will be more disposable income which can be used to pay for goods and services thus stimulating the economy and employing more people.

There is a luxury yacht shortage. I say this because I want to run a luxury yacht business and I'm unable to buy a luxury yacht for the $10 that I have in my pocket.

There is a Ferrari shortage because I want to start a "Uber With Ferraris" business, and I'm unable to buy a Ferrari with the $10 that I have in my pocket.

There is a developer shortage because I want to start a software business and I am unable to buy a developer with the $10 that I have in my pocket.

There are no shortages. There is capitalism and the market. If salaries rise so that My Brilliant Idea Co is unable to hire a software developer, that just means that My Brilliant Idea Co isn't valued by VCs or Angels such that they can afford to hire the necessary people.

My company was unable to hire people. When it increased offers by 40%, suddenly it could hire people.
