Technically it says 20 hours of billable work. I'm no consultant, but sometimes 20 hours of billable work is much more than 20.
You're generalizing from your anecdotal experience of a handful of specific positions to "all of corporate America" which I think is a false generalization. Exploitative salaries are the norm. This is why unemployement holds firm in the mid single digits, even as the economy grows: to give employers a tool with which to frighten employees into accepting salaries that give the employer high margins on labor.
So... who're the architect(s) for the station? How did they go about laying the tiling on that facade, programming the CNC to cut the pattern in the aluminium, etc.? Sounds like there are probably some interesting people behind it all.

I've long been a fan of Wolfram's ideas. But I wish he could write a single thing without most of it being about: how great he is, and how he has supposedly made the most progress in history with a cognitive step from already explored cellular automata. It's not even that I'm that bothered by the arrogance, it's just repetitive and boring.
Nosql is very big. Compare redis + cassandra + elasticsearch and you'll see. You have to look at: data-structures the db uses, query patterns, data-velocity, data-shape, etc etc. Basically how the db really works in a low level, to understand what is it good for.

Current case they: have a lot of data, need a lot of compression (or low overhead as possible), need as much query-selectivity as possible (reading as few rows as possible for each query) that's why they have a unique case of selective indexes.

Ask HN: Why don't console games developers fix their gameplay?
There is a recently release game called "Prey" for the Sony PS4.

Some reviews have harshly criticized Prey because the lack of ammo makes the game just not fun.

SO I got to wondering...... why don't developers FIX the gameplay criticisms?

It's really strange that in this age of online updates that when a game is criticized, the developers don't seem to go back and fix up the gameplay. Sure they fix critical bugs, but rarely do they seem to acknowledge the community feedback and adjust the game. Why is this? I'm talking consoles here.

'Premium Fridays' are a bit of a joke in Japan and many people aren't even participating. When they do participate, it's only under the presumption that employees will take their holiday time off. It isn't even free to the employees.

Here's an article[0] that promotes "Premium Fridays" that states:

> [The] Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which is pushing the idea, hasn’t decided yet if its officials will get to join in.

Some people use it. I think it's especially common on Ubuntu since they have it in their "Software center", whereas if you want to get Chrome proper you have to go to their website and get the .deb.

However, as you say, it's a very small % of people. I think most people don't even know Chromium exists, let alone what the differences are between it and Chrome. That might change though if Google starts abusing their position and doesn't get this ad blocker right.

I've been around long enough to know that no browser dominates forever, especially if companies start taking their users for granted. It happened to Netscape, IE, and Firefox. It could happen to Chrome too. If they screw this up I'm going to a Chromium fork + uBlock Origin. :)

However, it's also fairly likely that the internet would've collapsed before ever reaching event the state of the Compuserve/AOL walled gardens.

Free software unfortunately is the same thing. It won't kick in for another 30-40+ years (or maybe more) because of the insane growth in the industry still supports enormous numbers of well-paying positions.

And I view it as a huge plus because of the incredible rewards it provides and multiplicative effect. It has increased the speed of innovation many times over.

But long term we should remember there is a reason why there are no industries in the world mainly backed by volunteerism. Software development at zero monetary cost right now is the equivalent of the early days of the internet. But then again, by the time is actually becomes a problem we might have AI's doing all the coding for us.
From recent personal discussions, I think part of the solution choosing another place to live. The "hubs" of the world are becoming way too expensive for people who don't purely chase money as an objective (or are born into it.)
> Perhaps they expect to go bankrupt and let the rest of the country bail them out?

No, like most states (and unlike the federal government) California has a Constitutional requirement for a balanced operating budget with limited exceptions, and so (even if authorized by legislation) a funding mechanism would have to be passed for this to actually be implemented.

What they expect is that the Assembly will amend and adopt a funding mechanism if it passes the bill (which will definitely send the bill back to the Senate and almost certainly require either a 2/3 vote or a referral to the electorate, possibly both, fot a couple of reasons). This is a step toward a real single payer law, but it is not one.

Sony’s New Toio Wants to Inspire a Future Generation of Robotics Engineers
"Professor wants a Summer Gig"

Location: remote or on the beach in SoCal or FL.
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: N/A
Technologies: javascript, php, database, SPSS. Know some: R, ReactJS, python, machine learning (did Andrew Ng's MOOC), bitcoin (did the Princeton MOOC)
Résumé/CV: see below
Email: profsummergig@gmail.com

I'm a computer professor in the business school of a university in the Rocky Mountain area.

I get summers off. I want to visit SoCal or FL during July / August 2017 to learn surfing (I'm a young-at-heart, very physically active male 44 year old, never married, no kids).

During that stay, I'd like to work for a start-up or some such. Don't need pay, but sweat equity and a place to crash would be yuuuuuge.

My ideal schedule will be to surf 4 hours a day, and spend 8 hours a day working at the start-up. I consider myself well-versed in human communication, cognitive biases, UI/UX design, pricing, coaching.

I'm well read. My regular reads (and YouTube and Twitter addictions) include:

- Hacker News
- Nassim Taleb
- Daniel Kahneman
- Marc Andreessen
- Paul Graham (Y Combinator)
- Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert)
- Derek Sivers

I'm huge into hacking "learning." I've studied Spanish (Pimsleur Level IV and Michel Thomas Foundation) and French (Pimsleur Level I and Michel Thomas Foundation), and am fluent in English and Hindi. I have a PhD, and hope to do a J.D. one day. Good cook, regular meditator. Originally from India, I have my green card, and expect to have citizenship in mid-June.

What tool are you using to setup k8s? I really recommend kops - because it takes care of some cloud specific config clashes.

For example, it users the carrier grade subnet 100.64 for AWS because other up subnet conflict.

I have moved on from k8s to docker swarm because of the ingress complexity in k8s. I'm hoping some of the momentum behind Istio will solve it in the future.

Kozmos will support collections soon. So users will be able to organize and publish their links.

For tagging, it has a different approach. It has tags behind the scenes; reads the tags from the bookmarked page, and adds also additional tags such as the type of content.
I didn't realize any browser's built-in bookmarks supported tags and descriptions. That's neat.
That's funny - I stopped using Microsoft Office because of that very thing. I have Office '07 still for some minor graphical compatibility reasons, but generally speaking I use the bundled, free, offline, WordPad/NotePad, LibreOffice, and/or AbiWord.

Even if the language handles it correctly the lowly programmer is playing with white hot fire. Unicode adds so many edge cases it's basically a serrated knife in the middle of your code.

Will your regex match correctly in the case that the text shifts direction halfway through? Will the case insensitive search work in languages where case is ambiguous (where uc(lc(x)) != x)? Will you be able to match letters that are effectively identical but on different code points? Do you want to? Will it get confused by furigana?

Unicode's goal of encoding every language in the world as is means it encompasses every bizarre thing people have ever done to a written language. It is almost impossible to actually do anything with a block of unicode codepoints except treat it like a big binary blob and hope that you never have to personally deal with the strings contained therein. Most everybody gets it wrong in one way or another.
Best Practices to Improve the Security of Your Mobile App
Premium Friday is a strange kind of a joke. It's far too little, and no one follows it anyway.

I'm in a startup in Japan. Our offices are in offices provided by the city to encourage startups. I don't know anyone who is doing premium Friday here. I held a little party for the first premium Friday. A few people came at 3pm, but everyone went back to work after.

Why not scrap income tax altogether and tax land value?

It seems insane to me to punish people getting better jobs. But by owning expensive land you are in effect depriving others of using it. If you want to argue a moral basis for taxation, that is surely one.

Taxing career advancement instead of property investment and absentee land owners sitting on property seems completely backward. But I never considered that tax laws were probably designed from day 1 to benefit the rich, since the wealthy are so much more influential in any government (including democracies).
Best case scenario: passed over for promotions, cut out of important work discussions, generally ostracized. Worst case scenario: outright abuse.

Just to give you a taste of this: In a previous job in Japan there was a work party on the weekend. I told my boss "I can't got, I have something to do" (A very normal way to refuse something in Japan. The expectation is that no one will ask what your vague reason is). This boss tries to pin me down on exactly why I won't be spending my day off on this event. This leads to 6 months of going over my work with a fine tooth comb, review periods and so on.
Kinda-sorta, in the same way a password manager is. It allows one strong password/2fa vs many likely weaker passwords.

The unique aspect of the US model isn't that they tax income worldwide - it's that they tax income worldwide on citizens who reside anywhere in the world.

As an Australian who lives in Australia, I have to pay Australian income tax on any income I make from overseas assets as long as I am an Australian resident for tax purposes. This kind of taxation policy is pretty standard as far as I know.

The problems with offshore income are that you can often bury the income in a twisted maze of companies and trusts that are under your control - not that the personal income tax laws of your country don't tax foreign source income.

It's a bit of a stereotype but: Unhappy home-lives.

If you're going back to an abusive spouse, a crowded house with inlaws and kids, no privacy at all or other problems, I can see why some people might hide at work.
Point A is as valid as any sort of baseless religious claim. It's a delusional fantasy. Do you think people need ads to know that McDonald's sells burgers? Try talking to anyone who actually creates advertisements for a living. Try investigating even the tiniest bit to check whether your hypothetical models actually match reality.

Say I know that I want a new refrigerator. Is it in my interest to see carefully crafted ads promoting whichever products have the highest ad budget? No, I want to see objective information in order to choose the best product. And that's just one of the most benign examples, whereas ads often promote things nobody needs at all.

Call it the Amazon effect - who wants to go to SOHO to buy clothes when you can do it online! :)

Edit: adding quote from the original article -

> At a time when shoppers are buying online and fashion brands across the industry are hurting, “the challenging business environment makes it less interesting to do vanity locations,”

Same phenomena seems to be happening to prime retail locations globally - take a drive down Oxford St in Sydney for example. Interested in what the solution is to clear the market on all this CRE, you can see a lot of startup/coworking spaces taking advantage of the vacancies in these initial stages.
Foreigners do get more leeway. But that is only because they think you are there just to have a bit of fun for a few years and then leave. If you ever wanted to move into roles with more responsibility then you would be expected to toe the line.

Can definitely attest to everything else you've said. There is also an element of people not wanting to go home often because they have parents living with them (young and old) or their home life isn't all that appealing.
