I'm arguing that due to networking effects, having decades of tribal knowledge is worth the cost to keep it. Starting anew elsewhere, even with smart people can sometimes take decades to build that knowledge.

Look at SF, every company competes in that market for software engineers because that's where the talent is.

It's actually a concept explored by the book "The Talent Code", and even explains why so many people from puerto rico (by population) are so amazing at baseball. Everyone plays, everyone looks up to it, and everyone makes everyone else better.
> we should improve the learning and training options to make those affected employable elsewhere

I think that is a mistake in thinking. It may not be a popular view, but I believe there are a large percentage of the population that don't want to do "thinking labor". They express their utility with their hands — they get a sense of satisfaction and self-worth from manual labor.

You are not going to "train" these people. Their being resists it. Rather, perhaps like Germany, the U.S. should keep enough manufacturing jobs to employ these people in construction or other manual labor jobs.

Apple again pulls drone strike tracking app after unexpected App Store approval
VPNs are encrypted.
Because Bob leaves the room with either an apple or a pear and this choice is made inside the room. In quantum physics Bob would leave the room with half an apple and half a pear, Charlie would ask Bob to eat the pear, and in this moment Bob's half of the apple would teleport to Alice and Alice's half of the pear to Bob. Charlie could also have asked Bob to eat the apple.

Very roughly speaking, this picture is actually flawed. Charlie can not choose the fruit to eat in quantum mechanics. In this picture you would also transmit Charlie's choice to Alice faster than the speed of light which is not possible in quantum mechanics. The important part of this picture is that Bob does not leave the room with a predetermined fruit, the choice happens later outside of the room but Alice still always ends up with the other fruit, Alice and Bob never end up with the same fruit.
I'd be surprised if people here actually believed that to be a successful entrepreneur your starting conditions do not matter.

Your race, your country, your culture, your health, your finances, your dependents, your family all have a massive impact on whether you can stop doing whatever you're doing and focus fully on turning an idea into a high growth business. Maybe it's just me, but I personally believe that it is a huge privilege to have the ability to pursue entrepreneurship.

I could be a coal miner in war-torn sub-Saharan Africa trying to make ends meet to pay for my sick child's care, instead I'm sitting in a comfortable air conditioned office in the Bay, able to complain that the snack selection is not sufficiently locally sourced.
we aren't anywhere close to using it in production yet, but my impression so far is to agree with you. Every single use case or weird requirement I've made up so far has had an answer, or had a solution in at least the proposal phase.

Yes, this is a broad criticism of ML in public policy: that it's an amplifier for the status quo.
Even if it is it will take a few decades for it to die.
> if you have a good case.

Your confidence in the legal process' accuracy in sorting good cases from bad is greater than mine. Any case is risky, IMHO.

> The Court system is overburdened

I agree; it should be much better funded. It's denial of justice to everyone.
Wonder if a histogram of the pay as-you-feel option would foster adoption. If every site did this I'd starting sending small amounts of money to a number of sites. When will built-in micropayment support come to browsers?
It would be spooky if, in the middle of step 5, Malory exchanged Alice's apple for a banana. And Charlie knew that.

Europe is not the USA -- the longevity of unmarried relationships is not the same.
As far as I understand it is still, unfortunately, pretty much vaporware; i.e. no actual checker exists yet that can check the lifetime constraints.

Edit: apparently MS did release an experimental version that can check​ a small subset of the rules.
This, right here, is the consequence of the withdrawal from politics many geeks advocated very strongly in an earlier time. "Everything is corrupt, it doesn't matter"... turns out to only be a viable philosophy when things mostly work well enough.

What we have in protections and freedoms were purchased through a ton of hard work by prior generations: the liberty to slack and think that it just works ok is a nice side effect of the prior sweat.

The GE move was the most widely publicized/covered one that I can recall off the top of my head, but the Atlantic article is more detailed than just GE. Also, the Forbes title is literally:

> Why Apple Is Bringing Manufacturing Back To The United States

I highly recommend reading some of the articles linked since they do explore some of the harder to quantify metrics (such as the maintenance tail of products manufactured in the US vs China) and how they affected GEs choice to move manufacturing.

So while I think in general your observation:

> That's how they've calculated margins and filed a 10-K for the past 50 years.

holds true, I think there is some gray area where harder to quantify and measure metrics are becoming more observable. And it's this "new" information that is potentially having substantial influence on these larger corporations decisions resulting in moving manufacturing back to the US.

I, with my light familiarity with the most basic concepts of Economics, was particularly intrigued by the assertion that GE may have exhibited more long-term thinking since it's widely accepted that businesses operate and make decisions in the short-term. This short-term thinking leading to many sub-optimal market results...but that was just the interesting thing I took away in passing.

A choice quote from the Atlantic piece sort of illustrating this:

> Harry Moser, an MIT-trained engineer, spent decades running a business that made machine tools. After retiring, he started an organization called the Reshoring Initiative in 2010, to help companies assess where to make their products. “The way we see it,” says Moser, “about 60 percent of the companies that offshored manufacturing didn’t really do the math. They looked only at the labor rate—they didn’t look at the hidden costs.”

Your question about a fully automated economy is interesting, but I don't have good references off the top of my head to point you toward...sorry :)

Doesn't this mean the government can basically buy user data through shell corps and bypass warrants all together?
> avoid the perception of having a point of view, which leads to vapid, passive, easily exploitable schlock journalism.

AKA merely reporting the facts and events without introducing someone's uncalled for opinion, which shows respect for the audience by trusting them to draw their own conclusions.

Funny how "easily exploitable" journalism is somehow worse than "directly and blatantly exploited" journalism.
> What other ideologies allow for other possibilities?

Literally every one that thinks more broadly than immediate goods vs. money-price in an economic transaction.
That's all fine an idea until people use steganography to hide encrypted messages in plain sight.
Tell HN: To improve quality of conversation, HN should not limit deletion time
Say I reconsider the tone of a comment I have made on HN. Chances are I cannot delete it because too much time has passed.

I think that there should not be a limit on deletion time, so that people may at any time delete their posts having reconsidered the tone of conversation.
Your post clearly enforces my suspicion that comments on hackernews have increasingly become infected with users who do not know of what they speak, and do not clearly think before they type.
I agree. Thats why I said "to start with". Universal free education should be a right in this day and age. However if the Congress is to pass such a bill they most probably won't make it all free on day one. They (and the population) need to ease into it, so reimbursing tuition fee as a "scholarship" could be a good starting point.
Please do not complain into the echo chamber of comments here. Please take a moment to support the EFF, call your representatives, and speak to friends and family.

It's nothing like that. It's clarifying the definition of a group.

The set of people involved in "the media" are, by definition, in the business of creating and publishing media (news, opinion pieces, entertainment, etc). Success in this business does not require keeping the public informed, but it does require selling content. Thus, the group as a whole is in the business of selling content, and not necessarily in the business of keeping the public informed.
I have pages and accounts for all of them and they've been running for a year+. I just haven't launched them all yet.

You raise a good point- IANAL, but I can see this being a good avenue for challenging this soon-to-be law. Per COPPA, you have to confirm that someone is 13 years of age before collecting information on them.

What are they going to do, repeal a law that was sold on the premise of "think of the children"? Sounds like something that would come up during re-election: imagine a "Rep. X voted to make it easier for online predators to find your children online" campaign.

I don't know that much about the inner workings of Congress, but I'm guessing that it might be because reps who vote against party lines won't get support for their own pet projects later on?
Oh my god, I was reading and thinking "I hope they don't use Los Uberos for Latinos" but they totally came within one letter of that!
As an introvert and someone who cares about my privacy and doesn't like to reveal personal details, I find it easier to simply keep the conversational ball in the other person's court.

This seems to equal being a good listener.

The trick is to learn to close the conversation when you are done with it, and avoid useless prattle from the other person.
I always interpreted that resignation as "both sides are terrible, so I'm going to keep voting for my side". I wonder how many people really felt strong enough about politics to claim both sides are equally bad and then decided not to vote on that basis alone.
What is hard to hedge? If you have a large investment in corporations in the pot industry (although I would dispute your claim that there is a lot of institutional money in pot now), you could easily hedge against the fall of these corporations with CDS and other derivatives.
I suspect it is hard to sell the electorate as a whole on the nuance required to tell them these jobs aren't coming back but you are the best choice for election.

Pretty much every election campaign seems to be run on "the county is in crisis and we can save it", regardless of the state of the constitution country.

Here in Australia there is a decade old thought, not back up by evidence, that the Liberal Party are better enconomic managers. Even after months of compaigning on complex issues you will have that line bought up on Election Day as to the rationale of their vote.

My mistake, I read it incorrectly.
What narrative do you think this guy isn't fitting, then?
thanks for your insight. i also am a software engineer, so maybe i'm not qualified to have a complex, technical discussion either. but, i do think that most issues can be summarized/presented in a way that makes the technical discussion available to anyone of reasonable intelligence. it just takes either a feynman-type or a collaborator with an einstein-type to be interested in doing it. (i, myself, learned quantum mechanics well enough to present on it because i had a professional interest in quantum computing).

as per the theory of co2 precipitating the Permian extinction, i am aware of some very recent research that makes the claim that the extinction entirely happened during an 80,000 year ice age on the border of the Permian and Triassic periods. (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170306091927.h...)

if the data are correct, it seems pretty convincing to me that it wasn't the warming that caused that extinction.

btw, your point about the planet not being destroyed is well taken. i guess what i'm trying to understand is how the positive feedback loop of temp->co2->temp is broken if trace amounts of co2 is such a massive forcing. when the earth had 4000+ ppm of co2 in the atmosphere, there had to be some other, much stronger, forcing to bring the temperature back down.

That's where this aphorism falls short - defining what is the "same" actions or results is complex, when meaning is dependent upon context and context is constantly changing unpredictably.
They mean that they made use of --allow_natives_syntax to identify Hidden Classes.
That would probably require a major reform of the K-12 system, and also a cultural shift where people actually become interested in tech curriculum. And to do that STEM subjects need to be given importance at a very early stage.
Maybe the traditional "functioning of society" itself is flawed? When you're talking about human society, arguing for the status quo isn't necessarily a strong persuader.

For one thing, I would much rather live in a modern liberal society (where porn is legal) than any of the many repressive countries where porn is expressly forbidden.
I never cared too much for privacy, but that's one step too far. Lawmakers probably don't understand how this makes them a target, and how their own information will be accessible. Hopefully this will create a market for ISPs that want to protect you. I see VPN markets growing even more.

personally, I find the deletion time limit a bit arbitrary. I suppose the finality is there to make one consider the tone before posting. there's nothing worse than posting a karma-burning comment and coming back to find there's nothing you can do about it.
I think the point is that to get the same quality, you have to look more deeply than just the wages of the given workers. Once you hit that quality, the those workers then step onto the same track of skilled wage growth.
>> Most places don't have employment contracts.

Wait, what?! I'm on the younger side, even for a forum like this, and I've had an employment contract for every job I've ever had... even as an intern, short term contractor, or just summer jobs in high school.

I'd immediately walk away from any offer that didn't include an employment contract. Not putting your terms of employment in writing can only result in you, the employee, getting exploited. There are no positives.
Your point is valid but I wish you'd framed it better.

Granted, the internet will indeed remain a bastion of knowledge and information but we shouldn't have to look over our shoulders when taking advantage of that.
The underlying argument here is there is no difference between say Google and Verizon: the customer has to opt in (or pay) for both. And from a free market (aka conservative) economic perspective if this is a concern shared by the population, someone will offer it as a service that people will pay for (a VPN tax if you will).

This is an unfortunate example where government is not set up to address concerns of today's environment. They are trying to apply legal constructs of 20-50 years ago to a quickly changing age. And while you can argue whether the prior administration did the right thing legislating in this environment, the one thing they did was understand that access to the Internet should be a right as opposed to a privilege. Like education, access to 911, etc. As more services move exclusively online, this fundamental access question only becomes a greater concern.

If individuals aren't guaranteed access nor have any protections online, then we are heading into a very dangerous area (if the only way to lodge a claim against your internet provider is online, then they will know what you are doing).
This is the way not to design a landing page.

1) Ui components for what?

2) "Attention to detail of ember" - is that a quality comparison, or is it only for ember framework?

3) UI project without a single screenshot?

4) Doesn't mention one actual feature or component

5) GitHub link doesn't go to a repo. Instead it's a list of repos that you have to click around in to find the main project.

6) API docs link goes to a page that is blank except for another link to the actual API docs.

7) Add a few points back because at least they didn't name it CockroachUI (I still have hope the CockroachDB guys will change their name).

Is there another side to this debate or is it really this black and white?
I worked at one of these OEMs for nearly 10 years - and have contact to the others. Believe me, I know something about the industry. All these companies have big engineering departments - even for mostly software related topics like Infotainment). However most engineers there will be mainly responsible for writing specifications and project management. Implementation is done by suppliers. E.g. Audi Infotainment -> Mainly implemented by E-Solutions. It's similar for VW, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes - I'm aware of their external partners, but as that is partly confidential I won't go into detail. Of course there are also some research projects and departments and cooperations with universities, but they are only a tiny fraction compared to series development efforts. In resarch and predevelopment projects you might find more inhouse engineers, mass production software is however mostly contracted.

And regarding outsourcing to India: If you read through the software related job postings of Bosch you will quite often find the phrase: "You are the Software Architect and are responsible for coordinating our Indian implementation team". When I looked last time there were a lot more of these postings than "we are looking for an excellent software engineer with skills in X/Y/Z".
I get how "teleport" isn't QM. But the issue for both is locality violation.
"Permitted" is a word I find distasteful in such a subject. That implies that there is a third party, beyond employer & employee, imposing himself upon the other two without their consent. If both enter into the contract freely, 'tis nobody else's business but to ensure the contract is, in fact, freely entered into.

Many jobs "don't respect their capacities" precisely because it needs doing, but nobody wants to do it - the only way to get it done is to pay someone accordingly. Following a script may be boring as he11, but may currently be the only way to build widgets which bring joy and/or give life to others. Of late, when visiting the pharmacist I wonder how much joy they really get out of filling little bottles with precise numbers of little pills, this after many years of studying pharmaceuticals at a intellectually high and stimulating level - and I thank them for doing such a mind-numbing job, precisely because it keeps me alive for decades (vs dead within weeks of a stroke). Scrubbing toilets isn't exactly rewarding either, but keeps our society sanitary & healthy. In neither case is anyone forced to do so, but does need to for there to be food on the table and a roof overhead.

I have been mulling over "bottom line" sustenance vs minimum wage, poverty lines, guaranteed income, etc. Of late I note that one's "fair share" amounts to 8 acres of generally workable land, plenty for sustenance farming and then some. That's the baseline scenario for what work is expected of an individual: elicit your own food, shelter, clothing out of your fair share of land; from there, you can barter your way up to better living. It is fair, in terms of what our species has been given / ended up with, to consider that where to begin such questions (and not to start with a luxurious society where doing nothing can net you $30,000/yr).
