Hey everybody, I'm a senior in university who became really interested in web development the past year. I've put about 5 months into this project and am really happy to finally be able to show it off!

If anyone has any questions on my stack, i'd be happy to share.
Let keep it honest, job status is directly related to ethnicity/appearance.
I'm not aware of a means by which goal posts can exist in a philosophical debate around rational vs. irrational thinking. Both types of thinking are valid, but I can see how and why some tend to argue for absolute rationality at all times.

Scientists agree. The science is settled.
The nature of the way Monzo operates makes this much less likely to occur.

And if it does happen, the nature of how they operate means it should be significantly faster to resolve. Particularly because there is no reliance on a third party
I think even better would be to make education completely voluntary. This would help highlight the benefits so that the people who don't value it could make better choices.
The future of Ransomware
OK, warning: what's coming is a wild personal opinion based on anecdotal experience with a couple of guys.

There are a couple of guys I know who fit into the category in the article. I don't believe that the solution proposed would have any effect. It just is at an impedance mismatch with the mindset, with the culture.

I'll mention one guy I know, a neighbor, who fixes cars in his folks's barn, for a living. He has no qualifications, no certifications and not much special equipment. I hear him doing a lot of banging. People who have not much money know him as a car-fixer guy who works cheap and bring him cars.

I very much admire his work ethic. When I let the dog out at 5:30 in the morning he is at work already, banging hard, and I often hear him at 8 at night. But he can't make any real money at it. People come to him precisely because he doesn't charge much.

To an economist the thought is that if a person could improve their economic and social standing by getting training or investing in specialized equipment, like a lift, of course they would do it. The mathematical argument is compelling.

But as I understand it, proposed solution of having these folks go in for training just does not fit the culture. I heard him the other day in a conversation about welding. He welds a little, but the guy asked him about a particular job and he had to say that for that you'd need training.

Training is never going to happen. It isn't a lack of energy, or the needed intelligence, or a belief in entrepeneurship among the men I know in this category. It is a culture thing; "school" is just a non-starter.
Sorry to hear you're about to get a divorce.

Here's some unsolicited, opinionated advice from my position of ignorance, take it with a grain of salt:

If she wants to stay at home, let her. But make it clear you're happy with your job as is, and wants to be part of your child's life. Find some not-childcare-related housework that she can take off your hands to keep things fair. Preferably something you don't like anyway.
I use a Chromebook as my primary college as a CS student in college. Look up Crouton, it lets you chroot into Ubuntu and Debian distros. From there, you can install native programs with ease, and you still get the Chromebook price.
Sure the SCIENCE crowd can be a bit much, but science has an "agenda" of finding the truth and making that knowledge useful for people.

That has clear political ramifications: climate change, pollution, GMO foods, heliocentric solar system, etc. Science may not have an agenda (ish?), but it does support/detract from others agendas.

Humanism is likely the agenda of the marchers, and their aesthetics/ethics are informed by "science".
Choosing the VPN That's Right for You
The idea that an Apple II could have been "the computer you used when you were growing up" was a rather late and surprising discovery to me. Nobody I knew could afford an Apple II, and to this day I don't think I've ever seen one running except under emulation. (Of course the Apple came out a good few years before the Sinclairs as well, but I gather it was still sold throughout the 80s.)

My own first computer was a Spectrum, which I loved, but I didn't have access to a colour TV at the time. I got to know all the fancy colour games in black and white.
While I think location may be part of the problem, I think it's a relatively small problem. IMHO, the biggest part of the problem is that many of these people are not employable, and due to having an enabler, are not motivated to become employable. There are lots of places in the Rust Belt looking for people to hire, but they need people who will show up clean and sober who will also do the work. These low requirements probably seem like a given to most of the people on HN, but in some communities and some socio-economic classes, this is definitely not a given.
I would argue it with irrationality, which is the point here. Science can't be used inside a frame of reference to refer to something outside that frame without being irrational. The point the scientific principle becomes irrational is the point people start demanding an explanation.

I would also say that it is possible we are all missing the point.

I'd note, though, that most people can't really engage in self-directed study without structural motivations. After college, I think most people never read a textbook with such ferocity ever again. If you could just dump kids in front of Kahn Academy, life would be a lot easier.
Very important point. Unequal distribution in higher education will exacerbate the issues raised in this post. Unfortunately, we are looking at a near future where increasingly large percentage of unemployed people in the West will be young, sexually unsuccessful males.
So you are saying that my credit cards and current accounts should be held to the same standards as an average todo-list app?

No offense but I am gonna stay with my current bank ;)
Wasn't there a bit of a kerfluffle when West Germany was integrating with Eat Germany?

"Generationally" is the key word in your comment.
In the past people would say "God says that men should provide and women should raise children."

Now people say "Evolution says that men should provide and women should raise children."

This is progress... I think.
The notifications were sent via Intercom. Do you always get a notification from customer support when they reply? It's the same system, so if not there is likely some issue which needs to be resolved.
The price of their service was $140 for the groceries the customer selected. Hard stop. The grocery store doesn't tell you what the underlying cost of their food was, nobody does that. It's not a requirement.

Now it could be something consumers DEMAND which would give a competitor an advantage if they did it (see Everlane with their transparent pricing) but it's not unethical or sleazy not to disclose the underlying costs of your goods.
Had to make another comment, since I reached the length limit.

> to jocks in high school

Also keep in mind that seeing everything under the lens of "power" is deeply misguided. You might say that the jock is "privileged", but he might have had a poor, neglectful, abusive childhood (trauma, which changes your brain deeply), and have as a result developed a more charming personality because his subconscious felt that this was the only way in which he would be accepted and loved. Some of the most sociable people you know are so because of a "people-pleaser" tendency and a desire to "fit in", not because they're on top of things, or more mature. I know some people who are very charming, more than the average, and well-respected by our friends. Yet I also know some things about their (painful) past, and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Would they then become "less privileged"? Except psychological pathologies (low self-esteem, excessive fears, reality distortion, trust disorders, inability to bond) are simply hereditary. If you were raised by parents that had very low self-esteem, were often overwhelmed, and had intimacy issues (meaning emotional, not physical; inability to give or receive love), you'll grow up with these exact same traits, or you'll be similarly wounded but in a different way than your parents. In addition, if your parents were neglectful or abusive, they likely grew up in a neglectful or abusive household, because psychologically wounded, decided to marry with an equally-wounded mate (as we all unconsciously seek to reproduce the nurturance-level of our childhood relationships in all relationships) and you'll raise wounded children in a low-nurturance family of your own. Who's "privileged", and who's not? Since psychological wounds are hereditary, there's no one to "blame", or more deserving of empathy than others. Other example: someone who was abused as a child goes on, as an adult, to abuse children himself. Most would see him as a monster, but I disagree. Gerry Spence said (paraphrased): "nobody is evil enough that you can't become empathic towards them if you really know them". His abusiveness towards others is his own doing, but it's also inseparable from what he went through as a vulnerable young child.

You simply can't make assumptions about people and judge them on a one-dimensional scale, and you doing so is disrespectful to them because it removes their humanity. And again, it doesn't come from a position of empathy on your part, which would require the use of empathic listening, indiscriminately. Everyone has a story.

I repeat my point that the "privilege" narrative is psychologically-incorrect and made irrelevant (or worse) if one understands psychology, and people, properly. That's the most central point of my claims.

You seem to mistake me from some r/TumblerInAction regular, which is just not where I'm coming from (not least because I don't go to reddit).
It will still reduce to the length of a circle, otherwise it's just a units convention.
When i worked in UAE (United Arab Emirates) grocery delivery was like magic: you can just call any grocery shop to bring food to your flat and they bring it to you in a few minutes. Delivery was performed by cashier - he just take required items and bring in in a bag to you. So simple, so cost-effective and so useful. I wonder if anyone is done something like this at scale?
I think it is a place to park money. Homes in highly desirable areas tend to maintain their value and usually increase over time. If you're sitting on hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, you can't just stick it all in a savings account or an index fund. It has to go somewhere. Real estate is one place.

Consider a $20 million Manhattan apartment. Even if it has a "management fee" of $5k per month (not uncommon), that's still only 0.3% per year. Far less than you'd pay to a hedge fund or other investment manager to hold on to the money.

Ultimately I think it will be self-defeating. If too many people do this, the vibrancy of the city that makes the real estate valuable in the first place will disappear, because nobody will be able to afford to live there.
Once you have sales and moderate growth you may lose the courage to continue growing and improving the company. Every decision has downside risk and the effort required keeps growing with each milestone. Without a co-founder or investors for motivation, it is easy to spend your time working like a low-level employee instead of a leader.

Knowing your goals and then spending time every day on the highest value, highest impact tasks is the job of a founder. This sentiment is captured in Brian Tracy's audiobook "Eat that Frog" which I highly recommend.
Going to join the "I strongly disagree" camp with Swift as my example. The expressive syntax in combination with the strict type system quite often challenges me to design succinct app architecture.

I personally prefer to omit type information from naming, so for example I would declare a username text field of a view controller as so: `let username = UITextField`. Other devs might declare the text field as a `usernameTextField`, and somewhere else declare a variable called `username` to represent the string from the text field, but now you have a view controller concerned with both the textfield and the data from the textfield. By naming the textfield simply as 'username', I force myself to not have a 'username' value anywhere else in this particular view controller, which results in forcing myself to entirely separate these concerns. I can elaborate on this if someone is interested in trying to get this working in practice.

For minors, the decision whether or not to enroll in school would be left up to the parents, which isn't always ideal for the kid or the community (see, for example, the vaxxer movement).
> there are plenty of stores on instacart that are same price as store and they are transparent about it

What stores do they not mark up and how do you know that? What do you mean when you say they're transparent - that they tell you there's no markup?
This is a profound misunderstanding.

Euphony and accuracy are quite different. Euphony derives from nonlinearity.

These are not cherished for their accuracy. They're built to sound good, For this reason most of the best sounding records still make very heavy use of analog signal path.

I've been recording since the earliest days of DAWs. Yes you can do amazingly good things with a computer, but it is still not possible to build digital devices that "sound as good" IMO. After 15 years of living "in the box" as a mix engineer, waiting for modeling to catch up to hardware, I finally broke down when I realized that the best mix engines still don't compete with the best analog devices. Since that time I've become a convert.

For editing, accuracy, durability, price/performance, and maximum dynamic range through the mix bus, digital is king. If I were recording a symphonic orchestra I would absolutely use an all-digital signal path.

But if I want to make an expressive album like Dark Side of the Moon, I want to stick as much analog in the path as I can fit.

Why try to model chaos, when there's an old box stuffed with tubes and a zillion other nonlinear components?

Nobody - almost - builds devices like these anymore. It comes from the Golden Age, when engineers had different priorities, and the difference is palpable.
Exactly. It is like saying this item only cost a few dollars. When in reality it is a $100,000. I didn't lie but it is surely misleading.

Which is strange, as Vox and it's child companies usually do a good job of disclosing things like this.
Men cannot give birth, so they are more expendable and are given risky tasks, like hunting and protecting the tribe from other tribes. The average 20 year old woman is much more valuable than the average 20 year old man.
Why Is WordPress the #1 Blog Platform?
There are two pieces of evidence which allow me to hypothesize the existence of an objective reality from within my subjective experience:

1. My subjective experience makes predictions which are wrong within my subjective experience in ways which my subjective experience does not explain. Or put another way, I experience cognitive dissonance.

2. When I attempt to align my subjective experience with a hypothetical objective reality (that is, when I attempt to learn) the predictions made from my subjective experience are wrong less frequently. Or put another way, learning decreases cognitive dissonance.

Of course, these subjective experiences could be explained by a self-flagellating subjective experience that inflicts me with cognitive dissonance and then rewards me for attempting to align my subjective experience with a nonexistent objective reality. But that is (subjectively!) too convoluted an explanation to be satisfactory.

Something to keep in mind, there is a lot of pressure to under-report vacancy rates, property managers benefit when vancancy is low.
It's shocking, just plain shocking, how short people's memories are, in regards to their own governmental details. The manipulations to deflate the unemployment numbers, I was cognizant of in high school, have never stopped. New techniques come up every administration (seemingly every year). It's like how "the tech industry innovation value" is now added to the UDP arbitrarily. Smoke and mirrors. Google "US employed population" then click "What percentage of the US population is working?" -

What percentage of the US population is working?

According to the October jobs report, the seasonally adjusted employment-to-population ratio was 59.2% last month, one percentage point higher than it was a year earlier. Over that same period, the “official” unemployment rate fell from a seasonally adjusted 7.2% to 5.8%.Nov 7, 2014

Your argument amounts to an appeal to nature, and appeals to nature are suspect for two (immediate) reasons:

* Humans are capable of rational activity, and have no need to appeal to our development for moral justification.

* What happened in our development (that which was) has absolutely no bearing on what we ought to do based on what currently is. We have strong archaeological and anthropological evidence that early humans cannibalized and murdered each other, yet we intuitively understand that those acts do not justify contemporary ones.
I see it at least has a better license.
You act like lower-class "uneducated" men _should_ be unable to get a job. That's a bit messed up in my opinion. At a time of unparalleled wealth, all classes should be prospering.

Also, I say "education" in quotes because today in an age where anyone can learn anything on the internet, a lack of degree does not mean a lack of education. A degree just shows you're willing to be compliant and follow an arbitrary education system for years just to improve your social status. It doesn't mean you're unable to learn.
Why do you care what the profit margin is? Either the product or service is worth more to you than the money that they're charging, or it isn't.
One thing people fail to understand about consoles like this, or the Neve, is that they do produce a unique sound, but not for any technical reason. Yes, everything this machine can do can be done in a laptop. Sure there are small differences related to audio signal paths and headroom and distortion, but for the most part those can be simulated or ignored.

The big reason working with hardware like this produces unique results is more about the layout and workflow than the tech inside the machine. The workflow makes the sound. The lack of automation forces you to make choices. Forces your hand, literally. The sound is in the physical design.

Another example is the MPC sampler, which has a workflow that can be heard in hip hop music. Of course software samplers can do everything the MPC can do, and more, but you can hear the signature sound of someone working on an MPC.
Several of my friends have raved about Instacart recently, saying the convenience and time savings are well worth the meager delivery fees. Normally I'm not that into such services. However, I desperately needed groceries yesterday, but I was feeling sick and didn't want to get out of the house. So I decided to give it a try.

I got on the site as a first-time user and entered my zip code. From a list of stores around the area, I pointed it to a grocery store in my neighborhood. Then I started searching for items.

When I saw the prices on the Instacart list, I did a double-take. Turns out there is a margin, and it is at least 20%, if not much more. The reason I noticed this is because I shop at that store every week and am very familiar with the prices of the items I was browsing. Keep in mind I was browsing around 11 am, with a delivery window of 2-3pm, so it wasn't (or shouldn't have been) subject to surge pricing either.

And like you say, the exact margin is hidden, and even the fact that they do have a margin isn't explicitly stated anywhere that I could see. So if I wasn't familiar with the prices at that specific store, I may have just gone with it.

This lack of transparency (and in fact I can go one step further and claim it is purposeful obfuscation) immediately eliminated all my trust in Instacart. I closed the window without completing my order. I have since received three emails from them (in 24 hours) reminding me that I have an incomplete order. Suffice it to say, I have no intention of logging back in, ever.
Nice. I wonder how many people are actually using or keeping tabs on Red.
Jerusalem has the same problem. Lots of wealthy Disapora Jews who buy up apartments just so they can vacation there a few weeks out of the year during religious holidays. A cursory walk through some of these neighborhoods makes it clear that they were not built to actually be inhabited in - no vehicular streets, so no parking or access for emergency vehicles or garbage collection; no easy access to public transportation, no corner shops or grocery stores - why would you need them if you're just going to eat out most of the time or pick up groceries while you're touristing around?

The municipality tried to raise taxes, but it isn't working. The owners' pockets are too deep and the apartments are bought for social reasons, not economic ones. Whatever the city charges, the wealthy will pay.

There isn't an easy solution. If the law were to require occupancy, then the law would penalize honest landlords who do seek to rent out their apartments and deal with frictional vacancy as an investment risk. If their apartments were to be "raided" during frictional vacancy, what then? Should law enforcement accept that the vacancy was frictional and not long-term? How is law support supposed to tell the difference? If the law is too hostile to honest landlords, then they'll sell their investments, and the cost of rent will rise, which is regressive.

The only real solution I can think of is require mixed-use zoning and fine developers for failing to lease the retail space. If the developers sell too many apartments to ghost owners, then the retail won't get foot traffic, so the retail space will fail to lease, causing the developer to be fined, and incentivizing the developer to ensure that he sells to long-term occupants instead of ghost owners.
