haha, except you left out all the states that don't adhere to your hypothesis, like the ones that won the presidential election in 2016. kind of a big oversight.
It's pretty popular in the Financial Independence crowd, where the goal is to get enough money to be able to live on interest alone. It's not for the extremely wealthy, rather the somewhat high-income middle class. You can even make it work with less income if you can manage to cut your expense.

Most people adjusts (ie: increases) their spending when they get additional income, but it doesn't have to be that way. In the end it's a lot about trade-off, like for exemple do you prefer stuff like going out to restaurant, owning a car, etc.
Honestly I don't know, I do not work for Thoughtspot.

My assumption is that it works on metadata coming from a relational schema with a rule parser on top.

Honestly I don't see how it would work well enough if it was based on NLP of unstructured data.
I can only assume this forces you to use Chrome, so it has the same issue.
No, rule 30 isn't known to be Turing complete. You're probably thinking of rule 110.

What other solution are you implying by "until recently"?

I'm probably one of the particular few, but I've found it very painless to

1) Install and use firefox's containers experiment
2) Install the "private tab" addon
3) In about:config, remap <Ctrl-t> to open a new private tab

Now new tabs are private by default (although they share cookies within a browser session), and if I want to keep cookies or history I open a new container tab... with nearly zero change in my workflow.

That's a cool idea, but wouldn't it be more efficient to use something like zxcvbn to estimate the strength of new passwords and reject weak ones? That way you're not wasting electricity running a GPU array at full tilt 24/7.
The HN that had Erlang day was a lot less moderated, and people posted about politics at will. The new, heavily moderated HN is the one filled with the same bland reposts of today's stories from top 10 news sites that are on every other aggregator.
There's a React component for that. React-datasheet or something like that.
My parents don't mind taking the subway these days. Back then they'd drive, though, for sure. My dad also had a bike back then, still the fastest way to get around Brooklyn...

EDIT: my coworker, who lived in the city in the 80s, does in fact take the subway, but only because it's hard to hail a taxi out in Queens.
Somebody should do this for mobile game advertising. A player buys a $5 card with allows them to skip ads in all participating mobile games until such time as the $ is depleted. If that card worked across lots of games, it would be a great convenience. Considering ARPDAU from ads for mobile games isn't often more than $0.01, it would be a win-win for gamers who hate ads and want to play free mobile games.
I think that's great; I think we should be incentivizing that sort of thing, but I'm sure you can imagine real estate companies are probably not angling to work on 18k deals that have only a marginal impact and distract them from trying to find someone who wants a 10 year multi-million dollar lease.

Not because they have too much money, but because these tiny deals are probably a worse deal for them.

The policy responses for "landlords have too much money" and "landlords are acting rationally by leaving their lots vacant" are quite different.
That's mostly a function of taxation though, isn't it? I agree that UBI won't be possible with the current system of mainly taxing workers and reducing the taxation of everyone else (common trend in most western countries), but that's not a given or do you think we won't be able to change that?
GitHub Open Source Survey 2017
A lot of contemporary mathematics have physical roots. Some things I like: Donaldson theory and Seiberg-Witten theory in differential topology, Gromov-Witten theory in sympletic/algebraic geometry. Knowing physics is not necessary to learn these things, but some rough idea of what QFT is doesn't hurt.
But I doubt they mixed politics lectures into the physics course.

Of course politics is important. Doesn't mean Hacker News is the best place for a high quality discussion of politics.

I suppose the market driven way would be to put IRS tax inspectors on commission. Perhaps above a certain amount per target; maybe for every extra dollar above six figures they bring in from "one" [1] individual, they can keep half.

[1] Where "one" is a bit of a fuzzy concept when you're dealing with multi-millionaires hiding their wealth through various shenanigans.
this is a trick question and the fact that I do not have an answer is why I ultimately oppose the idea (everything else I can see the pros and cons going either way so I would want to see how they plays out in practice in our culture before I give judgement on if it is good or bad).

The reason it is a trick question is based on the following two real people I know. (I'm trying to hide as many details as I can, but these are real people so there isn't much I can do)

Person A was a straight-A student until she dropped out in 10th grade. Then she a few kids by different men - all losers who rarely held any sort of job (she dropped out before getting pregnant, but getting pregnant was her plan). In short the stereotypical image of "folks standing in a welfare line"

Person B was born with Downs Syndrome. He is assistant usher at the movie theater, a job he has held for years and does okay in, but when there are problems the head usher (some kid who has only worked there for 2 weeks) takes over.

When we are talking person A: she made her bad choices and I have no sympathy for them, she can live well below the poverty line. I make some different choices: when she dropped out her life was better (no school) than mine, but by choosing to continue in school I made my life better.

When we are talking person B: life is stacked against him. He was never able to amount to anything, but he has my full sympathies. I want him to have a few luxuries in life that he will never earn himself.

There are lots of other cases you can point to where ultimately I want to give a different answer on a case by case basis.

Indeed, why using a phone for index fund management?

> I have quite a bit of experience. And I do things fast if I need to. I just don't do them fast just for the sake of it, so I try to be seen as "meeting the targets" as well as "meeting expectations".

Also meet targets your boss cares about. Don't be a miracle worker, you have to manage expectations. In large organizations I can always point to other teams shortcomings, or organizational inefficiencies as reasons for slow progress and delays.

I'd agree here. There's no reason to discuss politics on HN when there are numerous other places to do so.

HN is a forum about technology and the startup world, let's keep it about that.
This was posted about 4 years ago, and it was half baked and fully attacked by wherever I saw it posted.

I was quite annoyed by it because I had a similar idea that addressed some of this scheme's weaknesses that I was developing before this was released (half baked!), and the negative attention this brought wasn't going to create a warm welcome for my concept, so I dropped it.
>But building an application that is functionally equal to the spreadsheet

can you explain this to me? i've never used spreadsheets extensively so i'm clearly ignorant but my impression was that the only thing you could really (i know you can bend the rules etc.) is data transformation. when you say application is what you mean? i.e an ETL app or do you mean more than that?
The FI crowd is 90% expense management and 10% investment. It seems like most folks there have a goal to stop working but are willing to do that and live like a pauper the rest of their lives. If that works for them, great, but I'd much rather work at a job I love, make very good money, and enjoy my life, rather than "retire" at 35 and live on $24k/yr in interest for the rest of my life.

I'd love to see a Financial Independence plan around growing [a] business(es) and retiring early but not crazy early (40-55) and living on a substantial middle/upper-middle income for several decades.
Graduate from 2008 here :) Certainly an intense course.
> both performance

Surely SHA384 is no slower than SHA512/256 since both need to compute a SHA512 hash before truncation?

> and the number of truncated bits, which is the factor mitigating length extension.

Is there really a meaningful difference in mitigation between truncating 25% and 50% of the original hash?
I absolutely agree, but you have to acknowledge that these are mostly things that only highly technical people care about. In the Torrent analogy, this would be like saying you like your music in lossless FLAC format, or DRM-free.

I wrote a comparison of Draft and another local development tool for Kubernetes that I'm working on, Telepresence: https://www.datawire.io/draft-telepresence-two-new-tools-loc...
I think a global style file helps when the same HTML markup is repeated in several parts of your application.

However, a component based architecture, by definition represents the reusable HTML markup of your application. Since such a component brings along its own styles wherever it is used, there is negligible loss of reusability of styles.

This is in theory of course, but my experience (with Vue.js) has been the same in practice too.

With Vue.js at least, you have the optional "scoped styles" feature which gives you tuneable reusability in case you really need it. Most of the time, I find my self writing

<style scoped>/*styles here*/</style>

in my component files.

Edit: Regarding performance, I believe it could potentially be an issue on mobile devices (for now), and if so I would solve it by creating a global stylesheet by merging all individual stylesheets and appending the component name as a prefix in all selectors in both the styles and the markup.

This would be done programmatically using webpack or some other front end build tool. I doubt I'd ever need to do that TBH.
On the other side though, $100k salary is widely pessimistic for a Series C employee who could command $300k total compensation at a FANG-type company. Realistically, their base salary would be closer to $150k - $180k.
Well in the interest of discussing that, I do have some thoughts:

>could US and other electoral processes (and let's just say government in general) have been directly affected by technical means

One could claim that an intrinsic variable in democracy is the "voice" of any one citizen. For lots of years that has stayed stable. If a politically minded individual wanted to affect change, they could only "shout" so loudly.

They could spend day and night lobbying, petitioning, speaking, getting elected, but all that effort is only a constant multiplier. Technology in politics, just like in other areas, can move the needle orders of magnitude more effectively. When any one person or organization can use technology to add voices (apps, hacks, robots, etc), it can exacerbate issues and cause secondary effects that weren't present when 1 person = 1 voice.
Yeah, when fucking websites are worth more than real estate it takes a genius to figure out there is something amiss. /s
It really is an odd way to start the article. The first three paragraphs seem to undermine the idea that diet is such a central element in a long lifestyle, but then in the next two it just sort of waves that away with a "but diet is worth a close look, too".

I do my best to have someone tell me to fix them. Not because I lack initiative, but because I saw too many times well- intentioned developers get in a lot of trouble by "taking the initiative" to make things better, to fix things. To the point where one place I worked the word "refactor" was spoken with a high degree of suspicion.

You are forgetting python is (depending on the benchmark) still 100-400x slower than a language compiled to native machine code. Removing the GIL might slightly help in some cases but anything CPU bound requiring

That's a rich statement to make, when we have just cleared the gigantic backlog of Ethereum transactions of the BAT token sale two days ago.

And the transaction pressure then wasn't even what Bitcoin normally handles. (I'm not sure if that says more about the state of Bitcoin or Ethereum however.) Anyway, if you need transaction capacity, look elsewhere.
The issue is lessened by the fact that everyone* already uses chrome.

But now you live by their rules, which may or may not be as generous as the U.S. rules, and which you may not be familiar with. Worse, you may live under both rules since they may cooperate in ways you're not aware of.
I've had a lot of existential issues with this. What makes me feel better is that the system in the moment is what matters. Everything gets destroyed in the end as per every world view (goes to a heat death, gets destroyed by Yahweh and a new Earth comes about, wolf eats everything). Nothing you build will last more than one or two generations, statistically. Just enjoy making the thing and the process of trying to solve a problem. Maybe pick which problems you work on.
I agree. Not being able to get it doesn't change the fact that we need it.
This is part of what makes cryptocurrency "ICOs" appealing. Depending on how the token sale is set up, you can usually be sure of exactly what portion of the equity you are getting. Whether or not it will be worth anything in the future is another question of course.

"I am a professional, I get things done for other people."

I agree, but only if people want to pay "professionally" for it. Additionally, there can be problems with this if you're working someplace where your job is potentially at risk if the project fails.

It's very hard to take strategic direction from folks who have golden parachutes in their contracts. Succeed or fail, they'll be OK, but when you can see the project is DOA, you now have to spend some time preparing to look for the next job/engagement/etc.

I realize not all situations are like this, but have seen enough to understand it happens. You can be professional, but also have to understand that sometimes your best interests and the project's best interests may not line up, and plan accordingly.
So much rubbish is posted these days..
The problem with this is the backup codes are different for each service. With one service, I can keep a backup card in my wallet, another in my house, and another at somebody else's house in a different city, giving me very high assurance of availability in the event of token loss or destruction. I can't maintain that level of backup for every service I sign up for.

Even multiple tokens isn't a good solution for lots of services, since you need possession of the token to enroll.
> (Germany or UK in my personal case) [...] not sure if Vanguard is accessible to non-US citizens, and there might be tax implications in different countries

Vanguard operate mutual funds in the UK priced and traded in GBP, through their UK subsidiary. They're available through most major trading platforms. The one thing to note about Vanguard's UK funds is that the management fees are higher than their US equivalents (but still one of the cheapest in the UK market).

As others have said, you can also just buy ETF versions of most of their funds, which are regular shares traded on the stock market. In that case you're buying in USD.

As far as tax is concerned it's treated just like any other investment (and if you're tax resident in the UK and still have an ISA allowance you can just put it in there and negate the tax entirely).
I wasn't trying to negate it being a Ponzi. :)

> "Promoting less than maximally accurate beliefs is an act of sabotage. Don’t do it to anyone unless you’d also slash their tires"

Regardless of whether the first sentence is accurate (and indeed it certainly seems accurate), I believe the prescription given in the second sentence is not entirely accurate.

Slashing someone's tires is absolutely/always illegal (property damage, or whatever the term is for causing it) ... whereas sabotaging someone's beliefs is illegal iff the "someone" is a court of law or government official, or if the belief-being-sabotaged is about a living person such that a falsehood constitutes slander.

As such, sabotage of beliefs is possible in some cases where tire-slashing is not.
Probably not. First of all, you'd need a large list of domains to query for randomly. Second, you'd have to actually have traffic with them, because if all you do is look up their info, but you connect only to the ones you want to talk to, then it's clear which ones you're talking to.
