I actually think the biggest reason is that start ups need an army of really good individual contributors. They dont need managers or leaders until they scale. At that point, the speed is too fast for experienced people to just enter so young people become managers. And young people dont want to manage people older than them. Bias continues.
Your maximum value. This is a function of replacement cost.
My wife had an interesting perspective I'll share:

"Maybe it helps to think of illustrated butterflies as a kind of iconography...One of the first things little kids (especially girls) learn to draw is “a butterfly” (meaning, a dead butterfly). It will not have anything like natural coloring, and might have big friendly eyes, but will definitely have two curling antennae and spread, uplifted wings. It’s a heraldic image, like a lion rampant. Lions don’t look like that, but the symbol says what it needs to."

Now all I can think of is the perl6 butterfly, Camelia...
What's even worse is that special Chrome feature where the site asks you to allow it to send you notifications. It's a tiny window with a single button "accept" and a minuscule "x" for closing it that is light gray on white (hard to even see). What is missing is an option to reject all site subscription/notifications and never have to deal with that kind of intrusive offers again. They're not even popups or in-page popups, they are part of the browser UI. So it's an officially allowed way to send "popups" and pester people for subscribing. Many newspapers in my country use this shit technique.
Countries aren't usually in the business of manipulating small, illiquid markets for negligible financial profit.
$35K is an insane deal. I wonder how he was able to swing that.
Do you think this will change overtime as people become familiar with technology and the internet?

Like do people start with Facebook and it later becomes a gateway to the internet, or do they start within only Facebook and stay within only Facebook?

I also assume people in the bigger cities (especially Yangon, but also Mandalay) use computers+the actual web for work, university and pleasure... right?
Well, sure, but there was very definitely a clear ethical line in proper journalism, as a profession. You had to have the basic facts right, by at least 2 different sources. I think this has changed now.

For instance, is Trump in league with the Russians? What are the facts? On the other side, did Hillary break the law with her email server? What are the actual facts? In both of these cases, you can trace the points of argument ad nauseam, and an unbiased observer can come away with a feeling that both sides of both of these issues make good points. I know it's not a popular position to take on HN, but that's the way I feel about AGW. I think both sides have good points, and I don't know what to conclude.

I'm not entirely clear that it's completely nefarious. I just think we've reached a point as a society -- almost like a Maslow hierarchy -- where any problem we discuss is so complicated that there are (at least) 2 sides to anything worth discussing, and they make internal sense, and the difference is the worldview you bring to the argument.

With the drubbing the major news outlets took being COMPLETELY wrong about the last election, I think they've squandered the last bit of trust people had in them as objective reporters of fact. And, if it's all about opinion, then people are either going to reinforce their biases, or simply check out.
Just about everything he has listed is correct.

The advertising model is failing the internet and content creation in general. The person who solves this will not only have content creators absolutely flocking to them out of absolute need to save their industries, they will also have the benefit of knowing they made a huge contribution in saving the internet.
But that's not what ubi is. Why not just assault the causes of high land costs if so?
Look at the backs of the characters in Avatar. They don't animate realistically. I.e. there aren't enough degrees of freedom in e.g. the shoulder blades, in the sub-surface muscle, and in the secondary motion of the fat.

Fully realistic nude humans are still a ways off.

They also solved email hosting and dns and spam and the browser wars and map directions and domain hosting and reactive web guis and streetview and maybe self driving cars...

I get it, I was there, I remember how it felt to see the internet in the first blush of its commercial blooming. Also, I can be pretty biased against where we are today, but to act like it was all lollipops and gumdrops in 1995 and its terrible today ignores a bunch of the improvements.
No, it's at the discretion of the company. I asked for an 83(b) option at a 10 person startup I worked at and the CEO made it happen. The startup still went under so it didn't matter in the end, but management definitely did what they could for the employees.
A little context for this. China cracked down on Bitcoin exchanges earlier this year and stopped all withdrawals of Bitcoin from exchanges. Reports just in the past few days are that they have finally re-enabled Bitcoin withdrawals at the major exchanges in China. Some mining operations are closely linked to exchanges so perhaps these shutdowns are related to the scrutiny of the exchanges.

Also shutting down one miner just makes the remaining miners more profitable in the long term. In the short term though ~1 week it has the effect of reducing the rate at which Bitcoins are generated until the difficulty re-target is reached.
In corporate America, young people don't get tricked into working severely underpaid for equity that very often doesn't turn into a lot, and sometimes the employees don't even realize they have to BUY the options and when it comes down to it, can't afford them. #Realtalk

In corporate America, it's not great, but it's less of a shill because people aren't pretending to save the world.
Nice try, chinese government.

"Special treatment", "miscarriage of justice"...these are not neutral words. Those are the words of people looking for a fight, not the usual corporate platitudes that don't commit them to a path.
Again - maybe my experience is different, but I was never told in corporate america that I should sacrifice my free time for my company because we were saving the world. I was underpaid (ish) but I was never abused. Startups get away with a lot more because of the stereotype that they are different.

Very few homeless people in Iran as people can always return back to their 'village' if they don't make it in the city. There will be relatives helping them out and land more or less costs nothing.
The news about Captain Crunch gave me pause, too.

I'd encourage young folks on HN -- self-employed or otherwise -- to start planning for old age now. Not tomorrow, not after the exit, etc, now. You get absurd amounts of leverage for starting early.

Self-employed US folks get access to the two best pension plans in the country which are not funded with tax dollars: the Roth IRA and the SEP-IRA. You can set up a Roth account trivially; the SEP takes more work but lets you sock away min($54k, 25% of your compensation) every year in a tax-advantaged fashion.

Max out contributions. Buy broad market index funds. DO NOT raid the retirement account to pay for weddings, house downpayments, new businesses, college expenses, etc.

For similar reasons I'd suggest everyone with dependents get term life insurance (cheap and easy when you're young and healthy) and strongly consider getting private long-term disability insurance.
Jeb Bush was the insider/large donor favorite on the Republican side. You can't tell me something isn't seriously broken about America's two major political parties.
> It still does mean that she had to pay more than she earned

No it does not mean that. It's a marginal tax rate, not an effective tax rate.

Can you talk better about which technologies you have used to build it? :)
I didn't claim that Americans understand politics in other countries that well at all.

I'd be more than happy to bet that they are typically a lot better informed than you'd guess

And yet every person I've talked to who has an outside-looking-in view of US politics was positively stunned that Trump won the election. Their left-leaning news sources and celebrities absolutely convinced them that there was no way that America would elect Trump. Once again, they didn't understand American politics as well as they thought they did. Rather than admitting their ignorance, they tend to rationalize.

I didn't downvote you, but it seems trollish. Sure, the Hillary email story is a giant mess, but the Seth Rich part of it is pretty short. If you don't know why someone would characterize it that way, and you can't be arsed to spend 2 minutes Googling something you claim to have an interest in, well...
Yeah, it sucks. But we do need to keep in mind now that social media psy-ops (or whatever the spooks are calling it) have become significant -- just as Amazon user reviews have gotten way more polluted, but without the direct personal feedback you get from buying the wrong item.

There was a recent story about an academic study of the methods of in-China Party shills (I forget the link). By my skim they were more about distraction and noise than obvious pushing of the party line.
"Huge" is relative compared to what the industry lost due to lower circulation and the almost-complete disappearance of classifieds.

I'd also fear that something like Patreon works for individual creators with strong personalities, but I doubt you can find enough support for the whoever it may be that the New York Times currently has attending the weekly press conference of the African Union's commission on water preservation in South Sudan (fictional example).

It's comparable to the idea of relying entirely on private donations for welfare and charity: Cute homeless kittens will enjoy a life of luxury, but nobody is going to finance job-training for middle-aged exhibitionists just out of jail.
> they are have the tools and expertise and they are not only deploying it locally they are exporting it to America

What countries are you talking about? What mythical poor countries have tools and expertise and what not? And to compete with us against what?

We've moved to a global economy and basically doing what wealth of nation stated, we have specialize in things we do best while other countries specialize on their own thing. If Swiss and Japan wants to make awesome watch go for it. If labor is cheaper in China then okay. But they can't and have not taken higher end skill set. You just can't export those.

And you just side step the world being screw to concentrate on our country. But at the same time OP addresses that with saving our coastal property.

Here's an article listing infrastructure projects abroad funded by (or partly by) Brazilian taxpayer money from BNDES. Note that they all involve companies who have been shown to be related to multiple corruption scandals, but even if they weren't, for a country that lacks so much infrastructure like Brazil, these "investments" are at the very least questionable: https://spotniks.com/20-obras-que-o-bndes-financiou-em-outro...

I bet it's brought to you by the same polling place that gave Hillary a 96% chance of winning...

What percentage of people have a clue of WTF the Paris Agreement is? What effects it will HONESTLY have? The difference between this "Accord" and an actual Treaty?

Right now, 99% of what's on the news is My Team vs Your Team. Republicans Defending. Democrats Attacking. No knowledge of what's actually going on.

Trump could hire Hillary to replace Comey, create peace in the middle east and give everyone a new car... and the Left would demonize him for all of it.
That's probably not a fair question, given that you're an American. There's immediately some difference in expectations.

A better question is what happens if a young college grad in Japan chooses work no unnecessary overtime?
Speaking as someone who spent a brief stint at a Japanese (but more recently multi-national) car company, I definitely felt that the foreign workers were given more leeway and almost expected to deviate from the traditional norms. My manager, who was a transplant from Britain, was much more willing to leave work right around 5:30, even when there were plenty of other workers (mostly Japanese) still around. It definitely won't be viewed favourably, but on the other hand, there is an attitude of "they're gaijin/not Japanese, so naturally they don't follow all our norms."
This is just for personal mailboxes, where signal to noise ratio is very low.

Priority Inbox highlights anything that actually comes from a human.

Multiple emails are more effective (for me) for automated and marketing emails, e.g. "right, I should remember to buy some more shirts from that company that keeps sending me offers", or "that domain is expiring soon, I noted that it was 30 days out last email but now it's getting closer".

Given the importance/actionability of these kinds of emails roughly approximates status updates on Facebook's News Feed, my approach has been similar (browse, trust that my eye will catch anything important, don't waste effort trying to read through every single piece of information).

You're right that I could make an effort to read through each email I receive immediately and decide whether its actionable, but this approach works well for me with very little effort.
It won't for long when they deprecate their extension API and move to Chromes...
This is, of course, all very reasonable and important advice. Everyone should follow it.

But it turns out that medical expenses are beyond the scope of normal and appropriate financial planning. They are a systematic problem in the United States and require a systematic solution. In many cases, the insurance required to prevent the kinds of financial problems in the OPs question are unavailable at any price and the expenses associated are financially harmful for all but the richest members of our society.

There is basically no way to answer this Ask without addressing the systematic problem of health care.
> Airplanes and cars aren't designed with a certain death rate in mind.

Not entirely true. The NHTSA can promulgate safety regulations, but if the cost of implementing exceeds the societal cost of not implementing then the regulations don't need to be followed.
I believe they were looking only at plants native to California, and from a quick search it appears at White Sapote's and Guava's closest native populations are in eastern Mexico. I don't necessarily agree with being this strict in the requirements, but I think it's within the realm of being legitimate–although I'm not sure how "native" Apple, Pears etc. are to California.

I've also read that to some degree they were recreating a specific landscape that Steve Jobs grew fond of when growing up. That doesn't really help anybody alive today, but if I were involved in the decisions, I wouldn't interfere with his wishes unless unavoidable.
If you can find a job that lets you work on things that interest you, you will likely have a smaller desire to work on side projects. Easier said than done though.

You gotta eat at some point, so I'd at least try to find a way to eat together; maybe do your side projects from home rather than a coffee shop.

Personally I handle this by doing my best to avoid my computer on weekends and trying to get out of the apartment together, which is mostly working for me, but YMMV.
