Do you know what racism is? Because I'm not seeing any in this article. Just because an article makes mention of the hardships of some white people doesn't make the article racism. This article is specifically about how WHITE Americans, who traditionally could become extremely successful in life without college degrees, are now finding that is no longer the case.

That's not racism. That's journalism.

Racism would be if the article made fun of white people, or derided them.
Move to the US or get a job working on a project remotely for a US based company. Programmers in major US cities can earn $100k a year easily with no experience and just a degree.

That being said, people I know in Turkey were wholly unwilling to go to the US to work, they'd rather wait 2 or 3 years for their company to send them to work in Europe due to the political climate and laws in the US. That was under Obama tho, I'd be surprised if it hadn't degraded since then.
If I had to pick one piece of advice for software developers looking to jump into entrepreneurship, it is that most companies fail because they build something no one wants. In fact they build it really well.

Thus technical debt, scalability etc. simply don't matter until you iterate your way to solving a problem other people care about. That's much better than solving a problem well, a problem that not enough people have.

Ie. in short, stop engineering software and start figuring out what people actually need. Not just 'nice to have', but a real need that causes real pain. To see if enough people need what you are planning to build - you don't need to built at all, just draw it out, explain it in a doc, and go ask people. You have to really ask them and push beyond their initial "sure yeah, it'd be nice to have". Ask them how they do the task / fulfill the need now. Ask them how much that costs. How much would they pay if you built a better one, etc. Really try to get a "no i don't actually need it" instead of being content with the polite lie of people wanting the product.
We absolutely don't need to spark the same religious flamewar over and over here, so please don't.

It really bugs me how often these work-from-home articles have a photo of the working person trying to work with a young child around, implying that they are also taking care of their kids while working from home.

Obviously doubling up like this does not work, and I don't know anyone who tries to do it. Implying that it's common gives working from home a bad name. At least in this article it is the father home with his child though, usually it's the mother.
actually i was abused. So i understand more than nothing.
Avoid Bose headphones because they're overpriced and riding off brand recognition.

Avoid """"smart"""" devices made by hardware manufacturers because hardware manufacturers don't know how to write software.

While I sympathize for the people who are affected by this, everyone should really avoid buying such manifestly bad products in the first place. We should really be doing our best to avoid "smart" TVs, "smart" headphones, and other superfluous and poorly done computerization.
> "you can keep you recipies in it"

That's kinda BS revisionism. I'm an older guy and remember everyone losing their minds over games, BBS's, and such. The utility and acceptance was instant. And that's just the home market. In business they were on every desk well before we had that conversation.

And lets remember the 'grandma' factor was taken care of back then by moving off the CLI and memorized commands and onto a mouse-based WIMP graphical system. VR is like CLI and memorized commands. There's no way around strapping a giant screen on your face and all the negative aspects that entails.
The thing used to cost $700.[1] $400 is the new, lower price.

It actually doesn't bother me at all. In my younger days I cared a lot more about working on exciting/interesting projects. Now I care most about the fact that I'm 100% telecommute and have 6 weeks of vacation. Others may have had a different experience, but years of consulting have taught me to divorce myself from being emotionally attached to clients. I go in, give them my best advice and work, then go home. If they shoot themselves in the foot, then that's on them.
But what offensive meaning does the word carry? I edited my comment to ask that, possibly after you replied.

If it has no negative meanings, I wouldn't want to be part of a cultural movement to create a negative connotation on the word. People grow out of using such words themselves.
Vanguard isn't a non profit, which is an organization that in contrast to a for-profit company, has no obligation or goal to increase share holder's value.

Vanguard is a company like any other for-profit, with the distinction that Vanguard's own shares are being held by the funds it manages, so increasing fees, e.g., would probably decrease share holder's value.
Your second paragraph has made a huge leap. It's not fair to say that allowing young men to talk like young men condones terrible behavior.

These aren't white supremacist dog whistles. I think your response is totally appropriate if the package included "14/88" and "HH". It's over the top and betrays your own biases against men when pointed at "bruh" and "gainz".
iirc, Sony does it's own manufacturing but works with Zeiss on most of it's lenses. In my personal opinion, and really I think it's pretty wanky to debate this stuff too much, but personally I like the fluorite UD glass from Canon, imo, has the best colour clarity and definition.
I think the question might have been what a "systemic mispricing of 0.1%" means.

If the majority of the market is passively rebalancing, does the true value matter or does the weighting swamp it?

I see how one would make money on arbitraging pre- and post-90s mandatory rebalancing by major passives. I'm less clear on how one arbitrages difference between the prices passives are investing at and a "true" price.
Possibly because many people have looked at the social narratives that they grew up with and concluded that they did not accurately reflect their experience of the world.
30 days is part of a bigger picture. You sound very angry about this situation.
Hey guys, on top of having !YC we can also get YC Alums for advices as well? What do you guys think?

Also, I just bought this domain - ycalumsfor.me
Not really. Canon mirrorless is ok, I suppose, but very much a "also-ran" and "too little, too late" in the very competitive market. Nikon mirrorless are just not very good (too small sensor for a start..)
Yeah honestly that sounds like me as a child.
Have you already accomplished such a goal?
I'd love to see IPFS video (https://ipfstube.erindachtler.me/ ) get used for this sort of thing. For static, high-bandwidth content like video, that is created by users and for public domain, it makes more sense to be than a fat centralised pipe that's extremely expensive to maintain.
I'm black, and a small part of me is enraged when I read these kinds of articles. This kind of sh*t has been happening in the Black community for GENERATIONS. No one cares until it's white people though.

That said, maybe once people see that this sort of despair is beginning to affect white people, they will gain more empathy for all the black people suffering the same way.
They do. iPhones have used them since iPhone 6 and I think its common among other manufacturers as well in the high-end range of smartphones. But number of AF points it's still small and there are limitations due to the sizes of the sensors.
Haven't owned any high end equipment, but an audiophille friend really likes SHURE.
Juicers have a small episode arc in "The Empty Chair" !

I guarantee you that the majority of Americans are immediately on board with free education once they realize the alternative is a lifetime of welfare.

As far as how many scientists and engineers we need? Virtually infinite if you're creative enough. There are plenty of problems left to solve that we haven't even started. The best motivator for finding and solving those problems? Money.

The issue is this problem never went away. Minorities are still being punished disproportionately for drug use [1]. I don't think that we should let spite dictate our reaction to the opioid crisis but it indicates maybe its time to stop pretending that the drug war was a necessary evil, especially given we might be about to double-down on it (and most likely continuing to disproportionately convict minorities) [2].

In the simple case where they look at what your likes are to determine the bubble they create around you, sure. But I don't think that's all they look at. Content could be being buried simply because a friend of a friend doesn't like that content, but likes a bunch of other content you like. It's not as simple as a reaction to your action. There's a lot of "secret sauce" that goes into it that makes it not quite so transparent.
Huh. I always wonder if there are people who buy the garbage they show off at CES. I guess there are.
damned open source update monitoring tool, where you can change the verbiage if you really don't like it.

if you like the idea and not the verbiage, change it.

if you like the idea and dont mind the verbiage, no issue.

if you dont like the idea, then you dont need the tool
"Cheaper labor is good"

Not for the vast majority of Americans who's only source of income is selling their labor (physical, creative, intellectual, etc).
Sometimes they don't have a choice - they have to comply with local regulations.

If an average is unusually high/low it will tend to go back to the mean after time.

In the stock market this means that looking over a short timespan one will see large variance in the returns but over a long timespan (30+ years) the returns will be more consistent and nearly all positive.
There is a harm. In 15 years, if you decide you don't like Wealthfront, in order to move, you will have to sell all your assets and incur the capital gains.
If that's the case (and I don't doubt it is, I really don't know how this filtering is supposed to work), isn't that sort of missing the point? The way I understand it, plenty of "credible, established" media outlets are on the hook for propagating unverified, "fake" news. Filtering out the obvious conspiracy theory and propaganda news outlets seems like some really low hanging fruit.
These guys must have sold investors hard for Google to put 120 million into this. Maybe there is an angle here I'm not seeing.
I'm from Germany, so yeah, you are right, but if he makes less than half of the numbers above (80k-100k) he is still underpaid.
That's certainly a debate I'm willing to have, but as of right now flagging doesn't exist to let HN admins know you don't like a website's ad structure.
Hmm given that patents span for 20 years, and that's essentially forever in computer world, once this patent expires it probably will be worthless.

In a world where advances are built on top of other advancements, patents just stifle innovation.
"You can't completely blame the actors taking advantage of it."

Why not? Are they not run by adults? Are those adults not capable of taking responsibility for their own actions?
This is true any time you move brokerages, is it not? If, at some time in the future, you chose to move from Vanguard to Wealthfront to take advantage of tax loss harvesting, you'd pay capital gains tax as well.
Well I just find it hypocritical that the mods would censor dubious and subjective criteria for what's considered unsubstantial a.k.a. whoever the HN elite circles dislike or feels like a threat to their narrative.
As a parent of a grown ADHD child we have struggled with the drugs losing effectiveness problem for years. One drug will work for a while, then issues like tics, physical, or verbal will start manifesting.

What I found works for my kid was changing medications frequently, it seems to work well at avoidoing the tics and tolerance. Melatonin for sleep worked great for years.

Now that our child is an adult, he finds the he can self regulate his meds well, he only takes them on days when he needs some extra horse power. And he uses Vyvanse for extended study periods and dextroamphetamine for short periods like tests.

Honesty I don't know how most parent cope. My wife is a psychologist who is trained in these issue and its still HARD. Weight gain is still an issue, so make sure you give them everything they can eat, I used to make malts every night. Which was great for him, not so good for me!
A GC is unable to guess that a programmer is not using a given object. To be eligible for GC the object must not be (strongly) referenced - that is it. Different GCs are tuned for different scenarios - typically balancing throughput and latency. I know of no GC that uses a "strategy" of waiting til program exits to reclaim memory.
No, it's built as a home appliance. If it was for the food service industry, it would be heavy stainless steel and cleanable with boiling soapy water, like everything else in that industry. And it would be faster; 10 seconds, not 2 minutes. It wouldn't look like an overgrown iPad.
I'm a junior developer work at a BigCo in NYC. I don't feel like I am fast-tracking my learning by being in the office. I don't have a mentor or anyone in my office that I can learn about enterprise app dev from. There is a dev in a different office that I ping occasionally with questions, but I really do not think that I need to be in my office 5 days a week. I wonder if my situation is the rule or the exception, and if I am getting shafted by not having a professional mentor...
If you think than being non-judgmental and polite is a fad and commenting on somebody's behavior after the fact is the same as giving uninvited insistent advice to random people, then yes. Otherwise, no.

Today, literally an hour ago, long after I wrote the above comment, I've read a complaint from one of my friends online, that their online community was invaded by preachy vegans (the community has nothing to do with nutritional advice and didn't initiate the discussion on the topic) who proceeded to lecture everybody about how they should give up meat immediately and how they should feel bad if they don't do so. And from what she is saying, it's not the first time it happens in that community. That's exactly what I am talking about.

I think commenting on how this looks like is not the same as what those vegan activists were doing. Not even close.
As the saying goes, if you want to know what God thinks about money, just look at the people He gives it to.
Hipster CapriSun?
Canon have four mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors (the M10, M6, M5, and M3).
Canon don't have a full-frame mirrorless camera.

Nikon's mirrorless range is the Nikon 1, with 3 cameras which all have sensors well below APS-C spec.

So yes, they both make mirrorless, but neither makes a full-frame mirrorless.

[Edit: corrected the reference for the M6, which I initially referred to as having a sub-APS-C sensor. HT to ianburrell for the correction).
Similar situation here. I'm a 20-something with a Bachelors in MIS. I make $80,000 in the Dallas area, and consider myself stable.

I also took out a sizable chunk of student loan debt for my degree, and have paid it off already, so now I'm debt-free and employed. Nearly every one of my friends and peers are in a similar boat. No apocalypse here, yet.

I also grew up in a non-nuclear family with a single mother and 2 siblings.
I wonder what he likes to do? It may be hard for him to fit into a "normal" job, but it makes me ponder the edge case "jobs". Things like making stuff and selling on etsy, Twitch channel or youtube videos, buying and selling comic books etc, cutting grass to start own landscaping business. It seems like he has supportive family so that to me is huge. Best wishes and I understand that concern completely, it just got me thinking about possible ways of harnessing what he is into etc.

If socioeconomic outcomes are heavily biased by group membership (which certainly appears to be the case) then it would irresponsible not to report on that fact. Racism is a major factor in US society whether you want to acknowledge that or not.
So what exactly does Sony have to do to become king of cameras? This is a very good argument.
It is interesting that they started with Staph infection and apparently the tincture actually used well known antimicrobial agents. (Including copper and zinc ions leeched from brass using alcohol.) I'd suspect it resulted as a stepwise "common sense" combination of reagents improved over time. The interesting part is how they figured out a way to digest and emulsify garlic using oxgall specifically, as this part was not known in antiquity unlike both garlic and infused wine properties.
You think this because you've bought in to media hyperbole. America and the UK are fine places to live, they may have some problems but they are fine. Our homeless are often better off than the lower classes of many countries and millions of people risk life, limb, and fortune to come here.
Not all Sony lenses are Zeiss, only the most expensive ones. Most of the low end lenses are just Sony branded.
The guy is providing a free tool coded on his own time without being paid. He can write the README the god damn way he wants.
That's why I specified a minimum per hour.

Even with constant free time - my mood can affect the price. If I'm not in the mood to work, I'd charge more. Free time itself can adjust in value. Nothing happening this weekend? Normal rate. I planned to go to an expo? Looking at x10 the normal rate if they expect me to miss that. I have a date planned? They're looking at an all expenses paid two week vacation for my date and I if they expect to be able to buy that time from me.

With the current landscape of To-do list market (Any.do, Wunderlist, Todoist, etc. etc. etc.) this doesn't even feel like a MVP, more like an early alpha without the label.
Not a front-end dev here, but I thought the whole point of a virtual DOM was to allow you to refresh the whole interface all the time and allow the library to only render the differences. Wouldn't this tool negate that purpose?
Surely just do what ever you'd try to do with another language but just use Haskell instead.

Depends on how complex you want to do things. You can just use yesod [0] to create a web app and compare it to an existing one you'd written.

An interesting use of Haskell is with concurrency [1], so anything along those lines should give you something pretty awesome.

> * Stock picking in an Amazon warehouse - robots taking over.

I just wanted to offer a data point here, my buddy worked at the Amazon warehouse in Breinigsville PA a few months back and said he never saw a robot. Reading Hacker News I would have thought that Amazon had their robots widely deployed but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Agreed. And the same is true of college courses. $120k in debt with a degree in Art History is digging your own financial grave.
As much as I like Firefox. It is now on a cross road.

For debugging development purposes I am keeping a version now for older dev plugins that never got a proper replacement, and aren't compatible with the newer API and newer will be (because the API is so much less powerful, good for noobs / bad for power user).

And I can't wait until Servo gets more stable and feature complete. I am thinking about a Vivaldi browser like HTML5 based UI based on Servo web engine, instead of blink - that would be the ideal next-gen Firefox reboot! (Firefox/Firebird/forgotthename was initially a leaner fork of the "bloated" MozillaSuite, in the meantime Firefox got so much more bloated than the still maintained MozillaSuite (now called SeaMonkey, based on recent gecko engine)).
Having picked up dating apps and Okcupid recently after ending a 4 year relationship, my guess is that Okcupid has become particularly friendly to people seeking BDSM and non-monogamous relationships. I had used it before and at least anecdotally what I see OKC users looking for is different from before. A lot of people have moved to swipe dating apps like Tinder and Bumble where the focus is almost entirely on photographs and not what users write about themselves. Maybe Okcupid is drawing users into BDSM and other non-traditional relationships because they can talk about it in their profiles and potential dates may actually pay attention rather than just swiping.
Not sure if you missed the part where I said "case".
FiveStars (YC W11) hiring experienced consumer PMs to make commerce human
FiveStars was founded five years ago as a loyalty program. We replaced the punch card. That product has done well for us - today 20 million consumers check in 1.2 million times every week.

Our mission, however, transcends loyalty. Our mission is to turn transactions into relationships.

In a world ten years from now, when we can get anything we want delivered to our bedsides, I believe we’ll get out of bed in the morning to experience human relationships. It is this desire to connect that will drive us into restaurants, coffee shops, or our local bar.

I recently joined FiveStars over other great options because of our opportunity to serve this desire - to make commerce human. That opportunity is exciting; and ultimately I chose it instead of joining one of the familiar tech giants where I’d be scaling someone else’s product.

To seize this opportunity we must build a product that helps consumers understand we’re more than a punch card replacement. Consumers must seek out FiveStars as a way to connect with and advocate for the small businesses storefronts they love.

If our mission excites you, and you’re up for the challenge of helping us move past loyalty, then we want to get to know you.

We’re looking for product managers (senior-director) with 2+ years of experience. Shoot me an email with some examples of your prior work. Resumes are fine, but optional.

That's true, but the other party is openly antagonistic to educating people which is a bit of a problem.
Not all of them. Sony designs/manufactures some (known as the Sony FE and E lines) and Zeiss designs/manufactures some (Zeiss Batis, Loxia, and Touit lines).

To make this even more confusing, some are designed by Zeiss but manufactured by Sony and carry both of their logos (nicknamed Zony; e.g., Sony Zeiss Sonnar T* FE 55mm f1.8)
Audio Technica is quite good.
Lenses, they need killer lenses people are willing to switch systems for.

That and better battery life.
And heavier, larger and more expensive to manufacture.
