Why do you feel the need to come to Hacker News (which is -- wait for it -- the aggregator associated with a _startup incubator_) nominally about startup news and spread the gospel of laziness?

Like, I get that HN is "whatever hackers find interesting". But to come here and fill the comment section with discussion about how we'd all be better off not trying particularly hard is just obnoxious. Literally everywhere else on the internet is the right place for that.
Portland or Seattle is a wise move. Places can still expensive, but an expensive place will get you somewhere actually central. And at worst the commute will be smaller even if you do live farther away. You should look into it! I'm a northwesterner through and through, but a lot of my favorite people are transplants. Don't listen to Ed, you're very welcome here.

As a counterpoint I've met and managed people who preferred open office arrangements. Which only really only proves that generalizations are bad.

I agree also that we're likely at the full extension of the pendulum on the open office trend. The formal/informal observation for me is key, some people want work to be more like their college dorm. They are in fact "living" at work and eliminating any notion at all of a work/life balance. I expect, but can't predict, that this will change as they get older.
I would look into implementing a workflow.
The experience of oppression, particularly in the modern US, is highly influenced by ones perception.
It started when our manager gave me a project that this coworker struggled to make progress on (the transition was made in a way that allowed the coworker to save face, if he wanted to). Prior to that, he tried to talk to me as though he was a mentor, which I mostly just nodded at - some of it was useful, at least at first. After the project transition though, he complained that I made gratuitous style changes, opened several PRs to try to fix the problem before I could and then in response to my code review publicly told me that he had more experience than me so maybe I should listen to him.

All of that might be attributed to his own self-consciousness if it weren't for the fact that he was deferential to male engineers in code review, and during the height of the tension with me, during scrum he started openly criticizing/mocking a female contractor's work (on an entirely unrelated project that he knew very little about).

This is a pretty egregious example, but I could imagine that a much subtler version happens more often (possibly it's happened to me but it seems more pragmatic to assume it's not related to sexism if at all possible).
Lol Nokia has Codec patents on HEVC too. So they're granting a license that doesn't include their HEVC patents or anyone elses? Is this the library equivalent of a Honeypot? Maybe they're not getting enough royalties.
You do know that Apple makes mobile devices, right? And so it would make sense that Apple is part of the group the supports hardware standards in the mobile device industry, they're not just a lobbying group.
80 column support was key. More or less CP/M compatibility was also key.

One thing the 8088 PC had compared with the 8-bits was rudimentary memory management in the form of the segment registers. This decoupled the OS and BIOS from application code in a way that was not possible on previous 8-bits. People forget that in the world before memory management that if you wanted to change the OS your only option was to do something like "sysgen" a horrible slow process where you re-linked the OS and all application code. IBM's OS 360 and DEC's RSX-11 had this concept.

People hated segment registers, but the only other alternative was position independent code, like on the 6809. I would argue that this is worse, because it slows execution time.
It seems weird to focus so much on es2015 features, when so many of them are polyfillable (not optimal, sure, but still) when there is such uneven support for DOM (and related browser) API features in safari.

I mean, where are service workers? Give me a nice, cross-platform way to handle offline-first and I'll be happy. But hey, it isn't like there's some kind of browser monopoly on iOS or anything, like there was in windows.
That's a great point. Our customers are from all over the world - the US is the largest single country, but there are lots in the EU, India, Japan, Australasia, Latin America, Africa...

We'd love to start a new political party, but doing that at the same time as a startup would be, um, hard.
Ugh. Why must things always coalesce at one end of an extreme or another?

Formality is bad. It is another layer of separation between you and the work. Way back when the original meaning of 'informal' simply meant your employer didn't care about non-work-related stuff like attire -- but its morphed into a culture of its own, destroyed perceptions towards those who really are results-oriented, and sent a lot of people down this path thinking formal is better. A lot of don't want suits at our workplace, but neither do we want ping-pong tables, or even beer (gasp!). We want to be left alone to do our work so we can go home on time and live a happy life.

I think we can thank business-management types, this obnoxious brogrammer culture, and all the not-really-a-computer-nerd-but-I-learned-to-code hacks for the culture we have now. Leave it to the muggles to ruin everything...

sigh
Terrifyingly creepy !
I'm happy I have banned everything "google"(alphabet) from my life 10+ years ago, the only alphabet service I still use occasionally is street view because it does not have an alternative.
In general principle, I want to favor owners living in their property. That creates social stability, instead of upheavals of neighborhood on every bubble. Without prop 13, the stronger the bubble, the more people with deep pockets are favored because they can hold out longer on property taxes. You'll just end up kicking people out of their homes sorted from poorest to richest as the bubble intensifies.

Without prop 13, you may end up exacerbating bubbles - the system ends up favoring risky behavior: the uptake of buyers willing to take out the larger loans, or people taking out taking out loans to pay their taxes and try and ride out real estate bubbles. When the bubble bursts, there will be more people with more highly leveraged loans.

Cities working on random rules to help subsets of property owners is, by definition, coding loopholes. By comparison, a primary residence of a homeowner isn't a loophole, that's a basic tax status used by the IRS.
Also, this can cause some really interesting (not in a good way) issues with what those tax dollars get you.

For example, there have been some local measures I've seen where they want tax assessments based on a percentage of your current tax, not a flat rate. As such, new residents end up paying massively higher amounts of the new measures than long-time residents.

Long-time residents have had the ability to make use of the services their tax dollars have provided for a long time, whereas new residents have not. Old residents might be all about taxes that get them things they want because they don't have to pay much at all, whereas new residents might see a material impact because of how high some of those amounts might be.
So the company that needs this is google? I doubt they care whether WSJ paywall results are missing or not. Content in many industries is a commodity and plentiful
Maybe controversially, I'm going to suggest that this kind of diversity culture and brogrammer culture are both manifestations of the same misguided mindset - one where people try to engineer a culture from scratch, but end up creating something that only works for the kinds of people they're personally comfortable with.

The comments about more formal workspaces are interesting. Adult-oriented workspaces may be more bland and superficially less creative, but a space where you can be left alone to get on with your work and where "culture" isn't being forced on employees seems like it could be more likely to give everyone freedom to simply be professional.
You're lumping one group of people (people who's earing ability is diminishing over time) in with a different one (non-Clinton voters) and making the two a 1:1 correlation. That's incorrect.

Also, flip it around and it works equally on the other side: 'it is very difficult to be sympathetic to the very people who's intellectualism and morality policing have caused so much damage to rural areas and the working classes'.
Interested, why? For any headline there are several sources, are you willing to pay just to click on the top link?
Agreed. I tend to think of The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal as being mirror images of each other: they're both reputable and based in NYC [0], but the NYT has a liberal bent and the WSJ has a conservative one.

[0]: Being based in the largest city of the east coast gives them a different set of biases, which aren't entirely political.
It took about 45 minutes on my 2012 MacBook Pro with 256GB SSD.
if you read, i caveated it in the context of "search results"
I'm a touch confused...are you saying that if everyone used the year-based nomenclature, the inconsistent support would go away? Today in 2017 I have some ES6/ES2015 features I can use as well as some ES7/ES2016 features, but there are also other ES6/ES2015 that I can't count on being supported, and quite a few ES7/ES2016 features I can't count on.

How are these problems alleviated if we change the name we use? Or have I totally misunderstood your point?

Side Note: I'm not a fan of using a year for the same reason we (i.e. most everyone) stopped using it for versioning - That previous iterations have been done on a yearly cycle does not mean that future iterations will follow that schedule. That, however, is a side argument that neither of us touched on.
Excellent plan. Will get on the phone to Elon Musk tomorrow.
You miss the point. The OP only pointed out cheaper competitors, pointed out crappy ones. Someone said "What about this?" and that was derided for being not cheap or crappy. The intellectually honest answer would be "It might be nice, but it doesn't have an Apple badge on the front".

Yeah, there are valid points here, but don't expect "competitors are cheaper and suck" and "well, sure, but that one costs as much/more" when someone points other alternatives out.

It's like cherry picking cheaper competitors. Similar things happened with the AirPods.

Announcement article here, you can people claiming that nothing else exists and that this is a first.

Like with things like "multi device pairing" (common as dirt, and even NFC tap-to-pair exists. Shared pairing database? That's cool, very true).

Even down to people arguing how "innovative" the charging case was. Others point out that these exist and have, for years. "Oh, well, that case is bigger/looks clunky/you can be sure that it doesn't work as well".

When people point out that -similar- exist, "oh, well, they cost most".
It seems your claim is half true.

"The idea that there is this new thing call decertification is inaccurate," says Scot Horst, USGBC's senior vice president for LEED. "The way LEED works is we have a rating system; you send us information about your project, and we certify to that. But let's say that there was someone out there who lied about the prerequisite information or unintentionally provided inaccurate information. We have always had a policy to go back and say this wasn’t what it was represented to be. That is nothing new."

"The only way you would ever lose a certification that you've already been awarded is if you didn't meet the prerequisites of the system; USGBC currently does not evaluate or monitor the ongoing operations of a building, Horst adds."

So by my reading, you could lose certification for not building to your plans.
I've heard people in the same breath complain that a housing development will ruin home values and cause gentrification.
It may be helpful to ask why. Why might aviation engines still be using leaded gasoline? If one knew why avgas was still leaded, that might point to possible practical, implementable solutions.

Yes, laziness, ignorance, stupidity, incompetence, malice, etc, are all possibly valid answers to "Why?". But accepting such answers without scrutiny when another answer may be closer to the truth is a bad habit, IMO. If you were to come into a legacy codebase at work and assume that the previous authors incompetent idiots, you'd probably be less productive than if you assumed that the previous authors had problems to solve and chose the best option available to them given the constraints at the time. Keeping in mind past and current goals, and past and current constraints is probably going to get you further than, "This is bad! Change it!"
One solution for tax relief for elderly would be to remove or reduce tax payments at age 65 or earlier if one is handicapped. It seems to be a fare method to handle this for issue. For the rent inflation in LA I don't have a answer. That said allowing people to get homeless seems to be a great cost on society as a whole and their should be a smart and scalable solution.
I remember reading an article about youtube suggestions always suggesting the worst stuff for reasons of keeping the user attention captive.
Big screens. I have my circuit board designs up on a 28" 4K screen.

Latency. Not all engineering tasks are based on static data.

Tools. Few easily allow you to farm out your simulations. Many tools have decades of development in them. You could in theory develop them for tablets, but there's not been a good business case for that.
Interesting. I can understand the gay part being difficult, sometimes, although tech people seem to be pretty liberal, but straight white people being somehow more exhausting that straight....Asian people? How so?

Where has anyone seriously questioned whether slavery was bad, and not immediately downvoted to oblivion?
I was responding to "A 5k Monitor alone costs around $800-1000 and does not compare in quality to Apple displays"

In which my response was appropriate. The only difference from a monitor perspective is the Apple casing. We're not arguing specs of PC, OS, etc. but that the monitors do not compare to Apple.
Public transit and biking are viable options in Portland though

Very slightly elongated along the axis between itself and the star. Still nearly spherical and the deviation would be essentially ellipsoidal (not egg-shaped).
Maybe I want to use my fork and knife at the same time, in each hand?

Not to mention, the knife in a Swiss Army knife is going to be way worse than a similarly priced knife. There's a number of things you can do with a $60 knife you can't with a Swiss Army knife.
Negotiation is a part of capitalism. I dont think I want to live in another system. I agree that no one should be denigrated for negotiating, but irrespective of current denigration women are eventually going to have to negotiate. Therefore recommending negotiating has nothing to do with the current structural inequalities, but rather is sound advice regardless.
I think the GP was saying "outside the EU" because of our worries about the EU's political direction regarding encryption in the link at the bottom of the original post. However, logiclabs has pointed out that our worries on that point were probably misplaced.
Probably not natively supported by Apple. But I'm guessing that the Files app just builds on the File Provider extension mechanism [1] that provides the document picker in apps, so Transmit can probably expose your servers too.

Wait... Safari doesn't have icons in the tabs? I thought every browser did. Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Edge, Opera all do.
I'm pretty sure I was asked to opt in to Cortana during install. During the setup phase so it may be true of OEMs as well.
Had the exact same thought. The timing of the report is perfectly placed after the Russian president's most recent remarks and the Russian Congress's report on American influence efforts on Russia's elections.

From the contents of the report it's very clear this Russia-attributed activity is associated with an espionage campaign rather than a manipulation campaign, though more details may be forthcoming on there being an actual effort to perform active manipulation.

The Russian effort to use true (white), gray (stretched) and black (false) propaganda showed sophistication mostly in its ability to adapt and react very quickly. The actual messaging was pretty weak - primarily appealing to those who already held some of the same thoughts on their own. Both Russia and the United States know that white propaganda is the most effective propaganda because it penetrates, resonates and persists better and because developing sources of truth (white and gray) are able to build stronger platforms than those based on falsehood. In this instance it was the true statements spread by Russia about corruption in the United States, war crimes, etc that were able to resonate and activate masses of people.

Why offer a degree when a BA in English isn't worth the paper it's printed on to employers? This is about knowledge, as you say. An affordable, liberal education, not a pipeline to Goldman Sachs.

For those seeking ROI, boot camps are already providing a compelling vocational alternative.
Idiots! Stop picking one extreme or the other!

Someone stick a wall in front of this pendulum at the half-way point. Please!
Nice idea. Some of us have friends and family over there, and of course it's a great place.
I'm not arguing with your logic, but I the user searched for and found/installed the app/service, it's disappointing and disheartening to not be trusted to choose my own preferences and explore the options in said app/service.

The mining companies, however, refused to meet the demands of the workers and instead hired Baldwin-Felts Agents, equipped with high-powered rifles, to guard the mines, but more important to be strikebreakers.[2][1] After the Agents arrived, the miners either moved out or were evicted from the houses they had been renting from the coal companies, moving into coal camps that were being supported by the Union.[1] Approximately 35,000 people lived in these coal camps.[1] It wasn't until a month after the strike began that it became hostile with the arrival of the Baldwin-Felts Agents who provoked the miners.[1]
Hmm, now that's an interesting thought. Maybe the Channel Islands would work too?
Your comment honestly reads a bit like a joke. Maybe it was meant as a joke, kudos to you. But if not....

"As a member of King Louis XVI's royal court and someone who spends every minute of their life in the palace of Versailles, I haven't personally seen any poor people in France. Do they really exist out there?"
But that's basically spotlight so it's a difference with little meaning IMO.
If you don't have the source, IntelliJ will decompile the binary and I must say it does a terrific job.

It also handles downloads via Maven, but I have only done it only once and don't remember the details.
While this is HN, with its associated demographics, the reality is that many office jobs just aren't as feasible for remote work. Face time and hallway conversations can be incredibly important for a healthy company.
Oh. We call that one the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible.
Because corporations have never ever colluded together to repel interests from outside their industries, or participate in asymmetric exchanges, or have more knowledge about you than you do them.

Or because you seem to believe you can opt out of anything. Try lasting too long in many industries without a cell phone number. Oops, it's a natural monopoly. Try opting out of buying a car when you don't agree with the policies of any auto manufacturer. Can you even understand a product's supply chain to see if there aren't companies there that you vehemently disagree with?

What about your peers? If you work in most industries there's always a push towards standardized solutions. Try forcing a company to use all open source software and see how far that gets you.

We haven't even gotten to the point where a large corporation has enough power to break or make small towns due to the capital they bring in. They have them by the balls.

No, your statement has no factual basis whatsoever.
I'm personally concerned about the claimed 500W power - Surely that isn't enough?
I understand how it works, I don't think if I bought a house for 100k that is now worth 1 million I would move across town for a shorter commute like the parent suggests. I would loose money from transactions costs and loan fees. My school district would change, along with other neighborhood amenities. It will more then likely work out better to commute a little.
TypeScript is a good solution for this. I use ES2015+ features this way regularly and they perform great. I target ES5 so they are transpiled at build time, and as an added bonus I get async/await which is seriously a life saver in certain situations.

Edit... I work at Microsoft (I'm supposed to disclose this), but not on the TypeScript team.
Costs have been the biggest worry when looking there. Not sure about bandwidth either...? IIRC the Eve Online guys had to do their server hosting in the UK for that reason.
