Yup, in regards to Signal our findings are already obsolete :D
I think that the new Signal developments are great. It is better to allow only one key verification mechanism for unified usability and also use key continuity. Before, SAS needed to be verified for each call again.

Also, the actual Titanic sank in less time than the Titanic in the movie.
Interesting assertion. Can you show me a shell invocation without using dd that cuts off the first 16 bytes of a binary file, for example? This is a common reason I use dd.
The claim I objected to is much more nonsensical based off of a median figure than it is when based off of a mean. You use median income if you want a sense of how much money a "typical person" earns as opposed to how much the entire population earns collectively. But neither median nor mean will tell you anything at all about the shape of the distribution.

And yes, as dragonwriter points out, your own link clearly shows that the mean US income for 2008 was just over $28K. (It also shows that the mean US income for 2008 was just under $27K; within-article consistency is not a big priority on Wikipedia...)

On the other hand, the GNU project tries to build a coherent operating system, which means that Guile, being part of GNU, is the preferred choice of the extension language for other GNU projects. This makes it very likely for Guile to stay relevant for a long time.

I was referring specifically to what OP was hinting at - changing demographic at fast food stores in wealthy areas.
There are. I lived through it. For the same grade, a girl could get into a better school than me.
I guess your last point depends on one's savings. I think for most people's savings a 3-9 month job search is a pants-on-fire emergency, regardless of where in the country you are.

I used to live in South Florida, and I bet I could exhaust the search space of "tech jobs south of Orlando" in about two weeks of interviewing. After that, you're looking at a move. It's not like the same companies will interview you over and over until you pass.
> "to regard (something within the mind, as a feeling, thought, or attitude) as having some form of reality outside the mind"[1]

That doesn't comport with your prior statements. You could describe literally any ideological statement as 'projecting' by that standard, which renders your prior comment utterly meaningless. Which of course, in turn, implies that that was not your intended meaning.

> I was simply trying to point out that there was no solid evidence that tptacek was going by that reasoning, and putting it out there in that manner was non-constructive. All it did was open the door to a political flamewar about what percentage of people voted for Trump, whether everyone that voted for trump is also a monster, etc.

No solid evidence, no. But not an unreasonable hypothesis, and one that he gave the OP an opportunity to rebut. Nothing wrong with that. He wasn't asserting that that is what tptacek believes, he was saying "IF this is what he believes, then that is ridiculous".

I'm not a Californian or a farmer.

I read there's a 50% increase in wages, during a period when CPI is up more like 30% in California [0], and I'm saying I agree with the article: it seems like a reasonable economic incentive.

To respond to your comment: isn't a farm worker different from a farmer? I thought the former was someone who does things that require little to no training, like picking grapes, and that these are the people the article references.

I've found that the internet is fantastic for compiling information or checking a concept or two, but isn't very useful for learning swathes of material. I learn mostly from used textbooks, which can often be found on sites like abebooks.com or http://gen.lib.rus.ec/

Pick a book that seems interesting and work through it. You don't have to be religious about following their topics or order though.

Food in the US is incredibly cheap. Not high quality at the cheap end, but incredibly cheap. Same with clothing.
The only other forms of wealth are matter, which is even more limited than energy, and information, which is theoretically infinite but practically requires matter and/or energy to be stored and/or processed.

Can you give an example of a form of wealth that's infinite in amount?
I'm very interested in this question from an academic perspective -- where will the remote vs. local market clear, if more companies start doing this.

Scenario A: More companies pay equally remote vs. local

Scenario B: cost-of-living adjustments mean companies pay the local prevailing wage of where the employee is located.

My prediction is that we'll get about 80% scenario A and 20% scenario B. Remotes might take a hit but it won't be large, and that's based on elasticity of demand -- I suspect companies have a less elastic demand for talent overall, vs. employee willingness to move.

Does that require clarification? Is this some kind of socratic dissection? Are we going to take this somewhere, after we get the obvious part in writing?

When a doctor assists in an execution, they participate in what is a murder, just under some other context. Lift that action up and out of the auspices of state and governance, and you have a murderer, accessory to before or after, or an accomplice to.

This isn't a particularly rare occurrence, but someone is there to cut the life short, do harm, and achieve a goal. Justice, revenge, passion, grudges aside. There's a winner and a loser.

It could be a misanthrope and henchmen, or it could be a doctor, somehow more distinguished than a common thug. The doctor chooses gets hands dirty for different reasons, there they are all the same. But the doctor gets to walk away from his murder, and commit more, so long as the state and government are not deposed.
I stand corrected, thanks! I had the feeling that the ABA problem affected a lot of the earlier lock-free algorithms, but didn't know the understanding of it went that far back.
a lot of people start by borrowing $50k from a parent (this is a fact). If the universe doesn't believe in you enough to give you parents you can borrow $50k from, why should YC? Surely they don't know better than God himself, and it would be insanely presumptuous of YC to think they do. There is clearly a reason that God passed on you and they are not in a position to second-guess this.

(/s in case you need it. If you still don't get it I am making fun of your position because it's naive and in my experience wrong. Sorry. Privilege comes in many forms and people don't tend to talk about them.)
Nice work! You argued that you were never hungry on your diet. Was that due to the emotional stress you were under, or were the snacks really enough?
Unfortunately, bringing up the subject you're trying to avoid to get it out of the way is hard to pull off usefully (that is without causing that which you were trying to avoid). I speak from painful experiences in my youth when I tried to do such. I don't recall nearly as many instances in the last decade, so either I do it less, I got better at wording things to not trigger people's preconceptions, or I've deluded myself somewhat to not see it when I do. Likely, it's some aspect of all three.
This is definitely true. I'm always shocked by how much relatives over there pay. However, outside the Asian markets, Australia is a bit off the major trade routes to the rest of the world, so general product prices never surprise me much these days. Bandwidth costs too, although I think having a much lower population density also helps drive up those prices (sadly).

In your case, even with the exchange rate as it is, price parity would be ~$80. If the taxes are ~$10 as you suggested, that means you're paying another what? $10 for essentially the same service? In a way, I'm surprised it's "only" that much more, but it's still terrible for Australian consumers.
Nothing really happened in the end. I'd only worked there for about six months but my boss liked me and thought I did good work. He chalked it up as a learning experience (which it certainly was).

Our DBA was someone who'd been with the company 15 years. I think most of the blame fell on him, but he didn't lose his job or anything like that. I think the snapshot issue was pretty trivial to fix. The only real problem was that there were no notifications going to anyone that they failed.

The customer was pissed, and it was a new customer at that. They basically lost a day of deliveries out of it. But they kind of had vendor lock-in with us (the office supply company they were delivering for liked us and had basically told them to use us because we already knew how to process their data the way they wanted). Switching wouldn't have been trivial, but we nevertheless fell over ourselves to keep them happy for a few months until it blew over.
I was thinking the Zerg. This is like an stepping stone to mutalisks.
At least part of that protection is conferred by the DNA-binding protein Dsup [1]. So minimally the cost is 1) producing the (unique, as far as we have searched) protein, and 2) dealing with DNA which has Dsup bound to it.

There is no free lunch, but it's actually a pretty interesting protein that seems to somehow sacrificially prevent double-stranded breaks of DNA by ionized radiation. It's likely not much more than a metabolic cost - though there is some possibility that it affects some gene regulation. When Dsup was put into mammalian cells it did confer to them protection from radiation damage.

There are plenty of alternative hypotheses. For example lack of role models encouraging advancement, gender stereotypes reducing intake, and brain differences that make the subject a better fit for men.

We should, of course, attempt to address and improve on all of the possible explanations except the last. If it isn't the last and we make the mistake of assuming that one, then there is harm in that assumption. If the last does contribute, then there is little harm finding that out after making an honest attempt to improve things. Because there are bound to be multiple contributing causes, and you'll at least make the situation better.
Clearly they just need to tax Peter Thiel's income.
PSA: Every legitimate long term study of major non surgical weight loss shows that it doesn't happen for the vast, vast majority of people. It's basically freakish when succesful in the long term.

1) ["In controlled settings, participants who remain in weight loss programs usually lose approximately 10% of their weight. However, one third to two thirds of the weight is regained within 1 year, and almost all is regained within 5 years. "](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1580453)

2) Giant meta study of long term weight loss: ["Five years after completing structured weight-loss programs, the average individual maintained a weight loss of >3% of initial body weight."](http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/74/5/579.full)

3) Less Scientific: [Weight Watcher's Failure - "about two out of a thousand Weight Watchers participants who reached goal weight stayed there for more than five years."](https://fatfu.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/weight-watchers/)

4) [The reason why it's impossible seems to be that although calories in < calories out works, the body of a fat person makes it extremely difficult psychologically to eat less.](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-...) This is borne out by the above data.

5) [The only thing that does seem to work in the long term is gastric surgery.](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1421028/)

Moreover, you won't find any reputable study on the web where the average person lost 10%+ of their body weight and kept it off for five years. Not even one.
Peter Thiel is a racist, misogynist oligarch. Some quotes:

But since a multicultural rape charge may indicate nothing more than belated regret, a woman might ‘realize’ that she had been ‘raped’ the next day or even many days later.

----

The purpose of the rape crisis movement seems as much about vilifying men as about raising ‘awareness’.

Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.
It's always cute to find new vectors for command injection. Really anytime you mix data and commands this type of crap is bound to happen (ex: sql injection).

Still not as worrisome to me as the full scripts that get executed by package managers when you install dependencies. Effectively every time you run something like "npm install" you're putting your faith in the entire tree of ancestor dependencies as any of them could have a pwnage script as a post install.
This was in response to your original comment that got flagged:

There's a few ways it can do so.

1. Depression: if life itself feels pointless, why care about your health?

2. Environment: lots of snacks, lots of work, little free time can add several kilograms.

3. Upbringing: if all you did in your high school and university life was hang out with friends and play computer games or generally un-athletic activities, the habit and drive to keep pounds off is absent.

4. Stress: if you're dealing with a really hard project at work or school, you may "put off" exercise and eating well, in order to give you time to finish it and comfort for the hardship. And when you do get some free time you may want to just lie around.

5. Money: if you're poor cheap snacks and unhealthy but high calorie meals are readily available at almost every corner of your city or town. There's no place in my downtown area where I can grab some roasted vegetables quickly to take back to the office. The salad places are expensive and also have high calories from dressing and lots of nuts and cheese.

6. Disorders: addictive personality being the foremost in my mind. If it feels good, keep doing it. Even if you don't need it. Even if you're almost full to bursting.

There's more I'm sure, but those are off the top of my head.

We do have AirBnB here don't we? I wonder how they're doing...

EDIT: It's a serious question. With the rise of tourism, and seemingly lack of accomodation, are they doing any better in NZ than they have in recent years?
I'm not in the states, but if I had a high school age kid I think I'd do anything I could to get them a better summer job than McD's. The money isn't the point - they're going to end up competing with adults for real jobs at some point, and the more high quality items they can get on a resume, the better their chances. Middle class kids legit can't afford to work in fast food because they need to spend their school years doing something more valuable than that.

I would probably advise my kids to shadow a tradesman, volunteer at a hospital or for a political campaign, plant trees, lead at a summer camp, or any other thing that will lead to better opportunities than fast food. Even working in a high end restaurant would be better.
Yeah but it's largely a non-issue.

Also while people in the US who are here illegally may be permitted due process, it'll be a pretty easy case. Are you a US citizen? Yes? No? Pretty simple. I guess you could argue that the state has to provide evidence that you're not, but if the evidence doesn't exist you're asking the state to prove something exists that doesn't, which is a non sequitor.
> Are there downsides to living here? Undeniably. The biggest being sprawl and traffic.

I think you missed the two biggest that will never change: The weather (105F and 90% humidity for 3 months out of the year, hurricanes) and the politics (Lege doesn't like what you're up to? Prepare to be stomped in the Capitol building like Denton was).

I'm a native Texan who grew up in Dallas with all of the baggage that entails--including an innate dislike of Houston because "rivalry"--so I know where I'm coming from. Ever since moving to Seattle years ago, I've become a lot more of an outdoor person because going outside doesn't physically hurt for six months out of the year. My first job was pushing grocery carts on a blacktop parking lot for Sack 'n' Save and the temperatures haven't gotten any better since. And the politics...oh, the politics. I really love living in a state that doesn't do things to cause it to be openly mocked by the rest of the country.

I love my home state, I visit quite often, and I'm genuinely proud to be a Texan but it truly escapes me how any one can say "hey, y'all come on down, the legislature and the sun won't hurt you that much" because they both really do.
Unsolicited advice: remove the word "fair" from your understanding of economic transactions. Think in terms of incentives, bargaining power, and BATNA.

My guess is that with all the whining CEOs in the Bay Area do about "how hard it is to find talent", this is the start of a long-term trend. Rents in the Bay Area have gone up about 10%/year for the last five years running (anecdote: my room cost 850/month five years ago, I moved out when it hit 1300/month) and with the new "Affordable housing" mandates (which the SF electorate voted for) coming into play, pretty much all construction is going to stop, because the economics of cross-subsidizing 1/3 of units (the new requirement) with the other two is pushing the unsubsidized units out of reach for all but the highest income-earners.

This place is mortgaging its future, and people are right to want out.

Yes, later in the article it says that, too. Which still is inconsistent with your claim; both the median and the usual average, the mean (per capita), are reported, it is not the case that just the median is used and reported as the "average".
Nothing like a man being faced with a lifetime of no romantic love to get his will power in the right gear.
To expand, `-c` tells tail to start on the nth (starts counting at 1) byte. So +1 starts at the beginning, +17 starts after the first 16 bytes. `-n` is lines, `b` is 512-byte blocks.
It's just like anywhere else. There are too many people and naturally they want to go to the nice places.
In what way is that offensive?
It still seems like one of those "good problems". Hotels and guides will be able to charge more. Government should definitely look at park fees based on usage and investing in infrastructure.
What about the `seek` argument which skips over some blocks at the beginning but still allocates them (unix "holes")?

Also note that there are still unix systems out there which do not support byte-level granularity of access to block devices. On those devices you must actually use a buffer of exactly the size of the blocks on the device. Heck, linux was like this until at least v2.
It's definitely not... but I'm sure there is still something to be gained from it.

I assume this will leave out the most vulnerable element of any system, which is humans.
