I wish articles like this would start with "hey, i come from a place of extreme privilege, and assuming you're in the same boat, here's what i did and it worked out ok for me given the amount of resources i had to take the risks i did."

Instead, it gets treated as a sort of recipe which further exacerbates the problem of selection bias and network bias.

A lot of this type of thinking is shielded by the immense wealth and agency that the kingmakers have. But the reality is that these types of networks are fraught with horse-traders and backchannel power exchanges.

I'm not hating though, I understand the game plays out like that. But if you're not cultivating a community of real people connected to you, you'll get chewed up.
1) And this shows: public services and family friendly recreation are basically non-existent by comparison with the Bay

2) Possibly a gem in the rough, but having family who teach in OCPS I'm skeptical

4) Quite subjective; I personally don't enjoy 100% humidity and 100 degree temperatures 8 months out of the year in which one is constantly assaulted by mosquitoes and "love bugs"

5) again, subjective, although it's hard to argue that the Bay Area isn't laughable by comparison

6) I doubt you're going to find a 1500 sq ft. 3 bedroom town home for $1k per month (1/4 of what I pay 20 miles south of SF), and you're leaving out other costs, hidden costs, including commute and items related to the lack of public services and much higher utilities costs; the cost of living is lower, but not 75% lower

7) there is much, much greater diversity of food (including Cuban food) in the Bay Area

8) This isn't cheap, even for residents. Last I looked, years ago, it was more expensive than a family pass for the Exploratorium and other far more enriching and entertaining things for kids to.

Then there are many negatives. The biggest one, in my opinion, is the lack of diversity. Central Florida had a strong Latin American influence but it's still mainly a white monoculture.
It caused gradual rise in blood sugar, which caused him to read about potential side effects after which he got cautious and decided that he wanted another way. Turns out rigorous working out was a good way to control cholesterol and he was determined he had stop the meds out of fear for future.

You can read about side effects of statins like lipitor, et cetera, it just scared him off and lead to exercising; which comes with a whole lotta benefits. Tbh I'm not really sure the side effects might've even been that drastic, but he didn't wanna take chances.

Side note: statins are a 20+ billion dollar industry. lipitor being a solid winner. Made my dad feel like there was no coming back once he was dependent on the statin.

It's a library of design components generated by in-production code.

In theory a full design system has most individual pieces defined. You know what your button styles, inputs, headers, etc are and designing new layouts is often a matter of rearranging these various components — you'll occasionally need to design new ones, so that's the outlier here.

This ensures designers are using a single source of truth when it comes to existing components (which is pretty spectacular, because traditionally designers often maintain an overlapping library of static components for design purposes). It also helps hugely that I could pull in real data instead of trying to transpose some real-ish information into a static mock-up.

And of course there's still that design/developer grey area. I'm educated as a designer, but I'm extensively knowledgable about HTML/CSS/SASS — and that still only takes me so far. I know basic JS, but I'm not going to pretend that I can use React. Sometimes I still need to build static mock-ups so I can try out animations or storyboard userflows, do usertesting, etc.
> "It seems that some people are optimized for famine, and some for feast. :-("

You're actually onto something there! I don't know if you've read much about epigenetics, but if a person experiences a famine, it can "switch on" prepare for famine genes in their descendants. It's fascinating stuff.

Mostly hardware.

Shortest explanation: The sensor exposure time register has a maximum value.

Next shortest: But it's actually in units of row readout time, on many sensors, which is also configurable, so the exposure time can be made longer at the cost of slower image readout. In normal operation, readout has to happen at 30fps at least, so extra code is needed to switch to slower readout for extended exposure values. This code then needs validation, the image processing tuning tables need to be updated and verified for the new long exposure durations, and any preview glitches, etc, from resetting base sensor configurations need to be addressed. So a lot of extra work, for a relatively niche feature on a smartphone.

Even longer: Many sensors also have an external shutter trigger signal pin, for unlimited exposure duration. But that needs to be wired to the CPU, and all the SW considerations above also apply.
You've missed the real prize here - forget cows and sheep. Think humans.

This is the ultimate feminist technology.
> but if the moral argument for entering WW-II for the purpose of liberating those in the concentration camps

Hugh? Sorry, but who told you that someone entered the WW2 to liberate someone from the concentration camps ? Liberating the camps was a consequence of the end of the war not the reason any country entered in the conflict.
The Next Wave of Digital Disruption: Augmented Reality
This reporter, who grew up in Korea but doesn't read Korean, and was given honorary citizenship by a city in South Korea, writes that ordinary South Korean citizens think the military threat of North Korea is really a North Korea versus United States thing, and not really a conflict between North Korea and South Korea.

South Koreans are more focused on what sort of government will be in power after elections on May 9th, after the craziness of the most recent government.

>I don't like the five minutes of hate either...But I do care that a woman was hit by a stroller and that a baby was almost hit. Mr. Flight Attendant is an employee, not police officer, and has no right to assault anyone.

Well, which is it? Because at any given point in time there are thousands of things happening where people are clashing over something or other - that's called life. You're really unlucky when one of those events goes viral and has someone like you pilling on with the rest of the mob to make sure your sanctimonious perspective is heard.

Since when was it anti-$ETHNIC_GROUP to talk about an $ETHNIC_GROUP's lobby? Do you accuse people of being "inaccurate" if they mention the China lobby?
It is Trump making the decision now, not the international community. I'll also remind you, that the only country in the entire world that has extensively used WMDs is the US. The US has used Nukes (WWII), and is also responsible for the most extensive use of chemical weapons of any county (Vietnam). NK has never used a WMD.
Seoul is required primarily due to the way the SK road network is setup. An argument could be made for pushing to the west of Seoul, crossing the Han, and trying to end around through Inchon, but that would almost certainly be a one way trip.

The eastern side of Korea has lots of issues for an attacking army to overcome, especially an army which would be depending so heavily on a quick operational breakthrough.
Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into it further. My blood sugar/insulin response is very sensitive to carbs, so the amount of lentils I use is very small. I add more if I'm going directly into a workout.

I ended up with this recipe after years of trial and error. It's designed to be high in protein, devoid of sugar, high in fat, and include a small amount of low-glycemic index carbohydrates. The high fat content seems to slow down the absorbtion of the other nutrients, moderating my insulin response.
It's not that simple.

> Most people think that IQ, the ability to memorize, etc., are the key metrics for determining the future of a child.

In Japan this is definitely true. It's what most people think, as dictated by what is common sense.

All the while, the mother with the tensai (genius) child will have instilled good studying habits, focus, prep, etc, and still believe her child is just smart for having good grades.

So Koichi's paragraph is not false. Or rather, there is truth there. If you wish to highlight the falseness then that is possible too, but taking an entire paragraph and trying to equate it as true or false is not that simple.
I am not a physicist either, but I've been studying QM as a hobby for almost thirty years. I took a quick look and didn't see anything to set off my bogometer. I wouldn't bet my entire life savings on it, but it seems legit to me.

I'd disagree with this. Otherwise what good are you if you aren't "the person who does X?"

Is there someone out there who thousands of people explicitly only want to take a coffee break with? I mean I want to have a coffee break with a lot of people, but not cause they are good coffee drinkers, but because they have made significant progress in some thing I care about.

The two things you describe as the core of what people are are effectively a therapist (the person who [communicates]) and a moving company (the person who [you ask to help when moving]) respectively. Otherwise those are just regular friends...not "connections." Outside of the scope of this article.
I'm an Eagles fan and I did not know this. I used to end up spending time with an amazingly annoying Jets fan, this would have been a fun tidbit to bring up repeatedly.
It's important to note as well that Chinese intervention isn't a binary, fully-on or fully-off kind of thing; it's possible to imagine various degrees of intervention.

One that seems likely to me in this kind of scenario, for instance, would be for Chinese forces to move in to uphold the integrity of the pre-war border. Allied forces would be free to push the North Koreans out of South Korean territory; but if they tried to push beyond that towards Korean reunification or some kind of territorial gain at the North's expense, they'd have to fight Chinese troops to do it. This would let the Chinese get involved but still pose as a neutral arbitrator rather than a direct combatant or contributor to escalation, since their nominal goal would be resumption of the status quo ante bellum.
I think the key thing is history. The UK developed the nuclear bomb with no help from the USA. As a consequence the UK was not part of the Marshall Plan and as well as enduring a 'rebuild from nothing' there was also the phenomenal cost of Windscale and all of the rest of the infrastructure, a cost borne without the industrial base the USA had - ruins vs. vast and intact. The Manhattan Project was a similar cost to the moon landings. Sadly the UK invested in their own version of the former rather than the latter. But nobody else had the bomb apart from the USA and the USSR so having the bomb was the UK's ticket to being a world power rather than entirely under the sphere of influence of one superpower or the other, directly or by proxy.

The Kim family stepped in for Japanese Emperor as far as being divine father figure for the nation, at one level the 'world power' rationale is the same as what the UK had to play post WW2. Much like it has been in other parts of the world the enemy is the USA and it is quite clear that the goal of the North Korean programme is to be able to get some missile with some nuclear weapon at least as far as a big city in the continental USA.

I am no defender of the crazy kid, however, there is some serious stuff behind the attitude of North Korea. They do not want their culture to be Americanized, they do not want advertising and they do not want to be yet another consumer society. A whole smorgasbord of Western beliefs are just not wanted by them. There is also the matter of unification. Their idea is to have a federation, one country with two states, governed by their respective leaders and with the one seat for the federation at the UN. That is what they want and without any outside interference. So those nuclear weapons are pointing outside of the Korean peninsula and that would be the situation of a Korea united on the North's terms - 'without outside interference'. A unified Korea with weapons of the nuclear flavour would keep all the neighbours at bay on the MAD basis so a unified, federated Korea (which sounds reasonable to some in the South) is just not going to happen.

Seoul is not going to get annihilated by the North. Ignore the Kims for a moment and look at what the Koreans could achieve. A united Korea would be second on the stage after the USA in terms of GDP+population+trade+influence and if you add the nukes then they are totally deserving of taking the UK seat or anyone else's except the Americans in the security council. That might sound far fetched, but I believe that this is an obvious prize in Korea and destroying Seoul goes against that.
I had the pleasure of meeting the guy leading NYPL OSS initiative last year; he demoed this among other things.

Talked about tons of other things NYPL is doing 'under the radar' to embrace the technology, it was pretty impressive, to say the least.

Always good to see OSS contributions from a government subsidized establishment.
The FCC has vehicles with directional finders; if interference is reported, they can track it down and take the appropriate action (fines, etc).
How about the U.S. agrees to help integrate Taiwan back into mainland China (similar to the British and Hong Kong) in exchange for China helping with the North Korea situation?

EDIT: changed 'we' to the U.S.
yeah, ridiculous student loans (med school), and some of it is definitely unrelated to being in the bay - a lot of debt related to the substandard paid maternity/paternity leave when having a kid in the USA (shoulda got that job @ netflix in retrospect...).

but kid-related costs here are also out of control, accredited infant daycare is insane, and you pretty much have to take what you can get into. same with after school care. this alone is >$3k/mo.

CA self-employment tax is nothing to sneeze at either, especially if you're a contractor in an industry that makes having an s-corp unfeasible.

Theoretically, having SV work to make advertising more efficient reduces the impact of money. Clinton spent 50% more than Trump for a similar number of voters, and some argue that it was because Trump could use Facebook ads to target people with less money.

Don't take me too seriously, but I wonder if there's a socially-valuable benefit here to the advertising industry, since it makes it easier for anyone to jump in and run for office.
Getting Started with Bug Bounty Hunting
Yea, it's only been 10 games. Even for perfectly random coin tosses, the chance that you get the same result 9 times as the result of the first toss is 1 in 2^9 = 512. With lots of potential team pairings, and the obvious fact that teams can be above/below average over 4+ years (correlating the outcomes), this isn't that crazy.

I think it's investors holding up the movement at this point. I usually see most tech guys are mentally prepared for this shift, but finance guys are strongly opposed.
Indeed, all of those tanks will be pretty useless against an array of modern anti tank, see javelins https://youtu.be/wrhybKEzb-0

The primary concern is the use of artillery and multi barrel rocket launchers devastating any ROK ground forces. Russia demonstrated their long distance lethality in Ukraine.

I'm also curious at the quality of DPRKs SAMs. The new S400 ones definitely pose a problem even for modern American planes. I've heard even the 90s model S300 could still be a serious concern.

I remember hearing the War Nerd talk about a couple of war hawks who wrote a series of articles about intervention in Syria totally glossing over the real threat they pose. And these guys apparently had a lot of influence in Washington among the establishment neocons and Clinton types. These SAMs are apparently very underrated. We just assume America has the best tech but real world combat is quite different.

It's implicit in your statement that the moral repugnancy of the Kim regime makes any acceptance of its existence intolerable. But that clearly implies we should remove the Kim regime; but invading countries is also generally immoral and the consequences of Korean War II are also morally repugnant.
Art of Manliness
Will I ever be as ecstatic as that dog?
Obviously that phrase isn't inflammatory in itself; no phrase is. It's the angry, grandiose condemnation I was referring to.

The first principle of HN is that it's not just a technical site. Please (re)-read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

There's no substitute for commenters learning the ropes of how to self-regulate in discussions here, technical or non. One of the ropes is not to comment out of fury.
I agree. The only comparison I could come up with, when trying to explain the lethality of the modern battlefield was the "highway of death" situation during the Iraqi retreat from Kuwait. I'd expect this to turn out much the same, but worse, as that kind of destruction would occur during the attack, and then be continued during the inevitable rout.
In addition, long range artillery is not agile. It is easy to locate and to be destroyed by airstrike or counter-battery fire.
The artillery pieces aren't sitting around in the open waiting to be bombed; they're deeply dug in, inside fortifications the North has been building on its side of the border for decades. It would be very difficult to neutralize it from the air before it could do real damage without resort to something like nuclear weapons.
To be clear - I'm not making the point that the US entered WW-II predominantly for the humanitarian reason of liberating the camps. In fact we didn't know much about them when we entered in 1941.

Rather, one of the strongest used moral cases for WWII (post facto) was the liberation.

We have even stronger evidence of this same moral case in Korea, than we did in WWII, so if we're consistent then there is a good case to be made here.

One could argue however that this post facto moral back patting in WWII is just how we justify it. So if that's the case you're making then I got nothin for ya.
I agree that there's a balance between the two. My ideal team is probably a quarter that know core CS concepts and how/when to use them and the other three quarters devs can write good code whether or not they know core CS concepts.

The part that makes me frustrated enough to comment on this is that I've found that a lot easier to convince a dev who doesn't know Big O that they need to than it is to convince a dev that does know Big O that it's not always necessary. Convincing is significantly harder if the dev graduated from college in the past 3 years.

Everytime I read something like this, I feel ill.

What drives human beings to this level of greed and excess? Is there some primitive or primate instinct in all of us? Meanwhile, the beggar children in India don't even have a shirt on their back. True story: When I went back to India for the very 1st time after coming to America, I saw a shirtless kid on a train station begging for food. I opened my suitcase and gave him 1 of my oversized (for him) shirt. The look on his face was priceless.

What drives so many people throughout history over 100s of years to hoard stuff and waste (mostly) ill-acquired wealth?? Is there something in-grained in us, that we can't resist it??

Still searching for an explanation.
Sorry, my original statement wasn't clear. What I meant to say is that it's possible to grow up in a household where equality and interdependence are embraced as social ideals, but there is no emotional intimacy between members of the family, and children are discouraged from relying on others emotionally.
I would agree that what you think it means is at least part of it - promote the general welfare, not a few specific welfares.

I was arguing against redistribution because maehwesu raised that point (seven posts upthread from this one). I misread your comments as arguing that redistribution was the intended meaning of "promote the general welfare".
