For what it's worth, I find the "landlords" explanation here extremely compelling. In the last year, I've happened upon the works of the 19th century economist Henry George (who identified landlordism as the root cause of poverty) and found his distinction between land and capital to explain many of the "paradoxes" we have in modern economics.

I recommend checking out his work, but if anybody is curious about details of his economic theories, AMA.

Hoarding during scarcity is quite a sensible strategy, you want to get through the winter season or drought.

What we don't seem able to do is turn that off in an environment of abundance. We can't seem to get past that evolutionary adaptation and it isn't doing us any good.
You are wrong to tolerate intolerance, and wrong to accuse me of bigotry for standing up against bigotry. It doesn't work that way.

And the fact that you're standing up against my stand against bigotry, without bothering to stand up against the original bigotry itself, means you're tacitly supporting that bigotry yourself, which is unethical.

And you're also violating the rules of this forum by continuing to post off-topic unsubstantive comments and baseless personal attacks. So stop it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Philosopher Karl Popper defined the paradox in 1945 in The Open Society and Its Enemies Vol. 1.

"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

He concluded that we are warranted in refusing to tolerate intolerance: "We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."
It really depends on what you want to accomplish, if you're an engineer, love your job and would be happy doing it for the next 4 years, there's probably not too much to gain. If you're an investor, your network is everything.
I think the idea behind hourly is to provide the best "bang for their buck". If your clients feel cheated, they will fire you.

There is in the article. That is, if you actually read the article.
His whole point is the only "bad" networking has no sincerity. In "Good" networking you have to sincerely want to make a real connection to the other person. Its not just a does this person help me, its a how can I help this person.
You can, and a lot of folks do just that. It can be exhausting though -- put in a full work week, then put in 12 hours on a weekend call-out (12 hours is not atypical for larger searches, depending on your area), then back to work again.

Some employers are good about allowing time for this sort of thing. I recently sold my business and went back to a part-time grownup job. I can generally run off to a search as long as I clear it with my supervisor and make up my time later.

Ask HN: Anybody using postgres-xl?
I have recently started using postgres-xl and I'm quite impressed with it although there is one problem somebody flagged on stack-overflow that makes me worried - the sharded database cannot be replicated to avoid downtime when one of, say, coordinators or data nodes goes down.

So I started testing some ideas on using keepalived to elevate live fail-over without much of a downtime and without my intervention at the time of fail-over. The intention is to document it and share back to the community. I am through two weeks of night-testing and now I have hit the wall I cannot find the solution myself.

In postgresql the one can bind the process to IP interface. Coordinators and data nodes are just postgresql processes, though they seem to ignore listen_address option. The process itself can be started with extra parameters (-h ip_address) which will result in what I need however postmaster.opts file (which seems to be used by pgxc_ctl to start coordinator) gets overwritten by pgxc_ctl each time coordinator is started (before it's started).

Does somebody from YC community have some experience with this?
My non-ML prediction of which locations will have the biggest demand in Seattle:

People on the West Side who want to get to the East Side, and people on the East Side who want to get to the West Side. (You'd figure that maybe optimizing this would bring more value to society then making a car drive itself...) 8am-9am, 4pm-6pm. You don't need ML to figure this out - just look at a Google Maps traffic heatmap in rush hour.

Carpools, vanpools, already exist. For some reason, though, the vast majority of the cars parked on the freeway are single-occupant vehicles. I can't imagine why people aren't keen on sharing their vehicle with a stranger, or pay triple surge pricing to get home when it starts raining.

This community is highly opposed to relying on web services that they don't control... Yet it is perfectly OK with ditching their car, and instead relying on a car-on-demand service to get to and from work?
We use optinmonster, which we wanted to turn off, but their service just went down. Really need to migrate off these guys...
This article is ostensibly about "how to be successful in a job". One of the pieces of advice is "Figure out how to perform better in your job." Nice.

I have some advice about how to succeed in life: "Figure out how to perform better in your life."
I know we could do all that, and it would likely be met with some success.

The point is - should we? Why waste all those resources in subtly coercing, conditioning and deceiving responsible, adult people into wanting to have better lives? The situation will self-correct in a few decades all by itself, and there is too many of us on this planet anyway.

I have a colleague at work who is younger than me, almost morbidly obese. He is fully aware of it, he even cracks jokes about it. He is interested in reading all the theory in the world about anatomy, digestion, dieting, excercise, even chemistry, but he is too weak-willed to actually hop on that bike (which he bought last year, yet to my knowledge never used so far), or go for a walk. But he's already finished the new Mass Effect game and is up to speed with all the TV series out there. Every now and then, I suggest that he joins us when we go out on light bike trip, or swimming in nearby lake in summer, but he always makes one excuse or another.

Another colleague of mine is slightly older, and used to be almost as obese as the first one. About a year ago, he decided to start cycling to work, and also do some cycling in his free time. He changed a lot, is much more lean (or rather less "unlean", he still has ways to go), and by his own words, feels much better.

Both of them have made their choice, and are making it over and over again.

That said, I'm all for teaching kids good habits, they do not know any better, and it is our generation's task to impart wisdom (or something we consider wisdom, anyway) to the next one.
> Lack of software bugs due to careless programming

This is very much not true of humans.

> Vastly decreased likelihood of being tricked by vandals exploiting flaws in recognition algorithms

This is not particularly true of humans. The human eye is very easily tricked. It's true that there are things that would not fool us and would fool a computer, but the inverse is also true.
Self driving cars solve the last mile problem. You get off a train close to your destination and a cheap self driving taxi finishes the journey.

And you could replace the train with a self driving bus. It can carry multiple people efficiently for the majority of their journey. And unlike current buses or trains, it can automatically adapt it's route based on where the occupants want to go. The buses can cooperate with the taxis to bring people to and from convenient pick up points.

The main problem with gridlock is that there is no limit to the number of vehicles on the road. There needs to be an economic advantage to things like buses that transport multiple people. A high tax on using the road in the city might work, if it could be enforced.
I'm not convinced it's as benign as that. Less equal societies tend to be less happy, at the top and the bottom as you can see in the article.
Nope. I use like 3 apps nowadays, and even those are just occasional. Havent had FB or twitter in years.
I'm not kidding, and you make a good point! I'd say that-- I really just don't have the numbers to prove this either way. Doing a quick search for "what percent of companies costs are payroll" led me to this http://smallbusiness.chron.com/percentage-business-overhead-... which suggests that 15-30% is common. But let's say a company has $100 more dollars to spend-- sure, $20 (or in Apple's case, $8.33) would go to labor. But the rest would go to other costs, which would further to grow the economy. If the company didn't feel like it needed to expand operations, then it would return its profits to it's investors/founders, who will invest it elsewhere.

The idea is that there are a lot of secondary effects of changing the tax rate, and not that payroll/income taxes would be recovered directly by one company, but that it would be recovered by the set of all companies who all are both: Receiving more money because they have a lower tax rate and receiving more money because other companies have more money to spend on them. This is also a compounding effect-- a lower tax rate might not give a benefit the first year, but as the economy benefits from compound growth, it should give a benefit in the future.

At some point the benefits of this would level out-- if it's hard to find useful ways to investment new money. Or at some point we just say "yeah, we know we could grow the economy more, but we simply need money to run the government with".

So, have we already reached the point where the benefit has leveled out? Maybe. But like, you can't deny this trend, it's just basic economics.

I also wasn't trying to argue against you, I just wanted to re-state his argument, since your previous response was just a tangent. The concept of economic growth and ideal tax rates is a different argument than how we spend our taxes, and I think that our advocacy of lower taxes as a way to increase tax income was perceived as a slight against your values.
>Are writers required to write a minimum number of words? Why so many writers write stuff that add nothing?

You used 2 sentences instead of 1. Why?
Spending or 'circulation' of wealth does not create wealth. Spending is a goal, not means towards an end.

Contrary to how people believe, you can't really 'hoard' money, when you hoard money, you merely invest in money itself, and like every investment, it gives society huge benefits (including, and especially the investor).

Uber vs. AirBnB: do you have to be an a**h*le to found a brilliant startup?
I love how history repeats itself.

I remember everyone complaining about Spring and similar having these massive XML configuration files, and then people said "never again!", and moved to very simple JSON formats for their frameworks. And then everyone adds a little bit to the best practices, and over time we get this, again.
It's something only the fabulously wealthy can say. For almost everyone else, even if money doesn't directly make you happier, it removes the vast majority of barriers to attaining happiness (though clearly not all of them). I know I'm much happier now that I make six figures and don't have to worry as much about medical bills, rent, food and so on and have disposable income to direct into new hobbies I couldn't have afforded before (fishkeeping and hydroponics in my case).

There's a 3 lane (each way) street with traffic lights in my suburban city that I drive every day. I refuse to go above the speed limit (40mph) while driving in general but the generally accepted speed is 55mph and there's no enforcement.

Either they need to raise the limit or enforce it. I'm sick of being the asshole going too slow.

Also my speed is generally more a function of gas mileage than anything else. With stop lights littering the route I don't feel that driving 55 is any faster than 40. It just wastes more gas. So maybe it wouldn't even make sense to raise it and instead it just needs to be enforced.
This is true, but please do be aware that any social grace you can pick up will go a long way, and that someone with this attitude will never successfully progress into a managerial role.
I know you've had a heap of responses already, but regarding eating after you get home: Prep something in advance. Make dinner the night before, but double it. The next day after the gym just warm it up, eat, and relax. You'll spend ~10m extra the day before preparing extra and save yourself tons of energy and time the next day. It'll make working out seem a lot less daunting.

Try to fit a bunch of these in and eventually you'll have quite a lot more time. Prep food in advance, work out at home, you're saving well over an hour already.

I feel your pain regarding wanting to go part time so you have time for what you care about. I have many weeks where things pile up until the weekend, then it's all errands and chores all weekend. Such a drag.
North Korea DID lose the war in 1950, in a way. After Incheon Landing, the North Korean army never really recovered. The majority of fighting power for north side was from Chinese army.

The reason UN Forces got pushed back and couldn't advance was because of the human wave attacks from Chinese army.
Totally agree. I'm a partner in a small business and I don't have to do any programming but I enjoy it so I dedicate at least 50%. I also run some accounts myself and provide strategy and leadership in addition to the sr. programming. I manage my team too.

There is a notion that the next step should be to not do any programming and be a manager. All that does is ensure you have extra layers. I have respect as a manager because I'm still current and more skilled technically than my team. If I leave my craft my skills will decline and I wont be able to help my team accelerate in skillset. You're a better manager if you're also a subject matter expert.

You should move out of low value programming but I don't think giving it up is good.
Calling this "feminist" is grotesque. This is about saving babies that are already being born too early and might otherwise die. There's nothing feminist about skipping a few weeks of late-term pregnancy. (In the ideal feminist world, no woman would be pregnant unless she wanted to be, anyway.)

My best math class was with a professor who did not use a textbook at all. He created ~5-10 problem long homework using a pdf we could easily get from his page on the school's website.

The focus universities have on homework is absurd. If you want to practice 100+ math problems, you can invent them yourself, or even find plenty on the internet. It only takes one or two problems to show that the student understands the subject matter. Any more required homework is a waste of everyone's resources.
Yeah that title doesn't really convey what we mean. I'll change it.

I actually like the design of this much more than the default time picker on Android!

The AM/PM selection in is selector very clear - this is something I choose incorrectly every time I set an alarm on Android. On Android, the AM/PM pickers are inline with the time preview at the top - and you have to guess which one - blue or white - is the currently selected one.

Sure, if you stop and think about it, you can figure it out. This separate picker method in catc's selector seems much clearer in every case - especially when a user is in a rush or sleepy!
6. Build your social network.

Both of those things may help generate career success individually, but probably not both of them together, in that order.

The price dropped from something ridiculous (~100K) to something manageable for a luxury car (~10K), and certainly reasonable as a cost offset by multiple consumers (like in a rideshare environment).
I don't think one anecdote is a good way to judge an entire nation. On the other side of the coin I can come back with the anecdote that I have worked with some excellent Japanese programmers in the North American branch of a Japanese company, they came over on a type of internal company exchange program. They would have fit in at any high tech company. Of course, only the most exceptional ones would have been eligible to come over here.
Ask HN: Why so much negativity?
I joined this community almost 10 years ago, and it has been amazing for the better part of those years.

It started as a place with so much optimism and sharing of ideas and concepts, and a place that relished in and congratulated others for their individual success (e.g., patio11).

While there's still some of it that still occurs, much of it lately is being overrun by hatred and disdain for others (Melissa Mayer/Yahoo/Verizon, Juicero, Uber, Microsoft, Trump, wealthy people, etc.).

How do we correct this? Can we even have a constructive conversation about it?
This post got me curious, so I did a quick search on macOS 10.12. I found the values defined in "/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Headers/sys/syslimits.h". PATH_MAX is 1024, and NAME_MAX is 255.

There's also an amusing todo question that looks like it might've been there for at least close to 20 years now:

I have been reading the ["The Vorkosigan Saga"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkosigan_Saga) and one of the consistent themes is the "Uterine Replicator". Sounds very much like what this could become in the future.

Not only is this book series great and very entertaining, I think it tackles some technology and social ideas that others in the genre do not.
The photos are impressive. But considering the introduction, it would have been nice to have some actual side-by-side comparisons with dslr. And then just for fun, the same exposure stacking applied to dslr at max iso.
I would attribute that to a desire to raise oneself up at the expense of the others, stemming from basic lack of empathy and belief in superiority. This is often justified through societal constructs (economy, profession, race, caste…)

PS: cool boxing site! :)
"It is Trump making the decision now, not the international community."

It may not be "the international community", but it is certainly not just Trump. South Korea, China, and lately Japan all have an interest and are actively attempting to steer results.

I mean, I'd bet if you consult your model of Trump that you think is acting it will tell you that being a crazy madman unconstrained by rationality or morality he unilaterally nuked Pyongyang last month. That model applied consistently, instead of piecemeal whenever cynically convenient, is clearly not predictive. (If that is not your personal model, timthelion, I am sure this message reaches many people for whom that is their unexamined model, so still not a waste.)

Suicide of an Uber engineer: Widow blames job stress
Ironic that you're being downvoted for prompting half the discussion in this thread (at present).

I'm curious about this, too. Sibling comments are asking why any person or company would hoard that money when they could be donating it. A company I know just spent over a $1M USD on a domain name and got a lot of hate for it -- many complaints that the money could have been donated instead.

For reference, I grew up dirt poor, and still work insane hours every day in a continual effort to dig myself out of a pit I never asked to be in. And I still don't think it's fair to criticize how private entities spend their own money. I absolutely understand leveling the playing field, and using a position of privilege to benefit society. But if I get rich and blow my fortune on luxury goods so what?
Who says you need to be the rider, and not the car owner? You could be making that $10 a ride renting your Toyota Highlander to other suburbanites when your kid's sports aren't in season? Or when you're on vacation, or at work for an 8 hour chunk? To say nothing of the convenience of a car that can drop off/pick up the little one from soccer practice on its own if you have a scheduling conflict.
