The article is defining rich as "a privileged life that can be passed on to your descendents". That's no less a valid definition of rich than your "need to work to survive".
plus the model 3, like all current EVs, is still highly limited it. It makes a great commuter car but any trip requiring a recharge will quickly show you the limitations of such. Have more than one recharge and you best have the time. Figure four hours at best on road and one off; superchargers require close to an hour to full charge and add in time to and from it based on where you are going.

When I mentioned "At best" EVs suffer disproportionately from the effects of cold weather, the colder the worse it gets and elevation changes aren't your friend either.

I am really curious what the average pricing will be on IIIs. I do remember Tesla talking about how you could get into a S for a little over 60 yet it always seemed people just talk about the 90k and up versions.

It's not a weight issue. Many manspreaders aren't particularly fat, they just try to take up as much space as possible.

Ask HN: Will I get in trouble with my business name?
Dear HN

after I have started a business with a name I'm very happy with I found out that a (much bigger) company exist with a similar name.

The twist is this: they use the plural of my company name.

Fictitious example:

They: "BestProgrammers". IT outsourcing and development

Mine: "BestProgrammer". IT education.

They are a development shop / outsourcing company, I'm in the IT education space, so there shouldn't be any confusion. However, sometimes I receive CVs from job applicants who obviously intended to reach the other company.

Can I get in trouble? I have already invested in my name, but I'm wondering if I should change now or face bigger costs later on (I'm sure they are not aware of me yet)

Any tips appreciated.
> cloning the entire structure for every applied function sounds like it will be slow? is that not what you will have to do in practice?

In short, no - as an example, when an element is added to an immutable map, a big part of the newly produced map is structurally shared with the old one (check out [0].)

As for the ordering, you could have a list of geometry -> geometry functions. You could then take the initial geometry and apply the list of functions in order, or a permutation of it, or drop some functions, or apply some others multiple times, and so on.

But anyway, it's just an idea - thinking in terms of atomic geometry transformations instead of alternations may or may not be easier in more complex scenarios, I don't know :)

"Alright" works pretty well for me. It probably falls into the same bucket as "OK" however. Tone and context keep it out of the affirmative. "I hear you" gets thrown around a lot but if someone is looking for an answer it infuriates them in a way that "Alright" doesn't.
SpaceX aims to restore damaged launch pad to service by end of summer
I was wondering how long it would take for the attack on the solidarity of the precariat:

>The rhetoric of “We are the 99 percent” has in fact been dangerously self-serving, allowing people with healthy six-figure incomes to convince themselves that they are somehow in the same economic boat as ordinary Americans, and that it is just the so-called super rich who are to blame for inequality.

7 months after the election is actually quite long.

Here is what makes me in a $300k a year household and the $30k household on the other end of town the same:

>Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it... it's just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.

The rich cannot be ruined. I can. If I was to be fired from my job it would be a minor disaster, if I was to get an incurable disease I would slide down the income scale without a break.

I would happily pay 80% taxes if I knew that when I needed it most the welfare state would have my back, but I know that it won't. The rentiers have shown time and time again they would rather destroy the economy than allow everyone to have the luxury of stability.

That is why I am a socialist and I know I'm not the only one.

With regard to passing on to one's descendants, here's an interesting excerpt from Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread:

In virtue of this monstrous system, the son of the worker, on entering life, finds no field which he may till, no machine which he may tend, no mine in which he may dig, without accepting to leave a great part of what he will produce to a master. He must sell his labour for a scant and uncertain wage. His father and his grandfather have toiled to drain this field, to build this mill, to perfect this machine. They gave to the work the full measure of their strength, and what more could they give? But their heir comes into the world poorer than the lowest savage. If he obtains leave to till the fields, it is on condition of surrendering a quarter of the produce to his master, and another quarter to the government and the middlemen. And this tax, levied upon him by the State, the capitalist, the lord of the manor, and the middleman, is always increasing; it rarely leaves him the power to improve his system of culture.
I would surmise that those not having been needed to be seperated from immediate 'part of our family' infantdom someday would like to hear or read more about some social issues also relevant to what one cannot change at birth.

Perhaps the "wealthy," who have fewer kids, are also more interested in the well being of their progeny. Railing against this positive trait is a losing battle.
If you can't work you can't pass that on your descendants. The same is not true for capital.

> Even if manspreading would be an issue, which it is my belief that it is absolutely not, ...

This leads me to believe that you haven't actually see it in action, and I wonder how much you travel on public transport. Absolutely it is a problem - I can't tell you how often my physical space has been unnecessarily "spread into" by this sort of thing.

> ... it would affect men more than women since men are generally speaking physically larger than women.

My observation is that men simply don't "manspread" into another man's space. It's very much a dominance thing. It's ugly, it's obnoxious, and it's borderline threatening.

I have no faith that this initiative will have any effect, but it most definitely is an issue.
I'll tell you what's annoying in public transportation: people who stink. Also, people who play music. Why not crack down on them? It wouldn't even be sexist, like this thing is.
Don't see any reason for trouble along as your users ain't going to the other site.
I think it means "treat them as well as you'd treat a volunteer doing the same job". The contrapositive (which I've actually had thrown at me in a past job) is "your employees get paid to do their job, they deserve no thanks beyond that".
Funny thing is, I see women taking up more space than they need about as often as men. Not with their legs spread wide, perhaps, but by sitting sidewise, or plopping their bag on a seat. It's rude, but it's not gender-specific. I mean, call it what you will, but I think pretending only men do it is only likely to make people treat this less seriously.

(And the sign doesn't actually say man-spreading, so no real issue there)
I think the author misses some of the point of the "99%" rhetoric. It's not that someone in the 98th percentile making a 6 figure salary doesn't feel well off, it's that they don't feel any control over the political system. In the post-Citizens United landscape, multi-millionaires and billionaires who can afford to solo fund a PAC have outsized influence over politicians and government agencies. The impression that control has been ceded to such people is reinforced by their increasing monopoly on the accrual of tangible political benefits, which manifest in the forms of tax breaks and favorable regulatory decisions. And for those of us who are younger, student loan debt has delayed the meaningful accumulation of wealth via home purchases (plus not paying rent) and investment savings even when we earn such high salaries, so our annual incomes don't reflect our true economic status relative to prior generations.

#1 - they probably do crack down on other behaviours, so I don't think the overall policies would be considered sexist

#2 - it does annoy men, none of the signs indicate that only women are complaining (although the article does give that impression)

#3 - sometimes making people consciously aware that their behaviour is inappropriate does work
Yes, ID check is easily circumvented. People are the weakest link. The store reps are not government officials or police officers, nor do they scan ids. They may be convinced not to check your if, accept an id that isn't your drivers license, or anything else.

The point is that by using an SMS as 2fa, is placing much of your security in underpaid cell phone store workers.
Then it must be my memory playing a trick on me. Thank you for elaborating.

I am an Indian student working towards a Masters degree in Information Security in London. Previously, I’ve taken up roles of data engineer and data analyst for a total of close to 4 years. I’m now looking for full-time opportunities in Information Security, Site Reliability Engineering or Software Engineering in Europe, preferably in London. I speak English well. I will require sponsorship, though.
>The rhetoric of “We are the 99 percent” has in fact been dangerously self-serving, allowing people with healthy six-figure incomes to convince themselves that they are somehow in the same economic boat as ordinary Americans, and that it is just the so-called super rich who are to blame for inequality. [...] The strong whiff of entitlement coming from the top 20 percent has not been lost on everyone else.

Ok, since it's not clear from the title, Richard V. Reeves is directing his tirade towards people making $100k+ and not the Bill Gates and Warren Buffetts of the USA.

Since many HN readers earn $100k+, let's ask ourselves:

Do you feel "rich"? Richard Reeves is calling you out as the class of the "rich" and to stop denying it. You agree?

Do programmers and sysadmins feel like getting the job and six-figure salary was from luck or the result of a rigged system? (Attending the 4-year college, whiteboard interviews, etc, was "rigged" in your favor.)

If you want to live in a neighborhood that prevents disassembled cars jacked up on cinder blocks, it doesn't really mean you want a nice-looking environment. Instead, you're just using the rules as a smoke screen to keep out low-income blacks and Latinos. You agree?

If you take advantage of 529 deductions for your kids' education and mortgage deductions, these are financial games to keep the low-income people from achieving what you've accomplished.

Richard Reeves says you should feel guilty? Do you feel guilty?

EDIT ADD: Since none of the replies (so far) directly engage with what I was trying to ask, I'll try to pose the question more directly: Do HN readers agree with Mr Reeves that _you_ are to be blamed for the low-income people not moving up the ladder?
Funny coincidence: I just downloaded Scratch Jr. for my nephew this past weekend, only to be disappointed that we couldn't view the other projects from within the app, nor could he share his.

The Supercharge network also won't be free to use with the Model 3.
This is why I like to remind people of Tesla's true innovation: finding government tax credits and giving consumers a way to spend them on Tesla.
There's a reason men spread their legs: it's hot down there, we need to cool it.

Also, how about shebagging? And all the other unacceptable behavior people have in public transportation? I've seen people clipping their nails, blasting music(?) on their phone, etc

We're headed down a dangerous path with these regulations.
Absolutely, and I agree with this sci-fi idea of an interconnected system which has only safety of everyone as a goal and everyone is better off for it. If that's possible, I'm happy to have it implemented tomorrow.

But right now as it stands currently, telematics boxes are nothing else but a greedy attempt to get more cash out of drivers - they collect proprietary data, ran through secret algorithms, to secretly decide whether your insurance should go up or not. Try getting a letter from your insurer telling you that your insurance will go up due to your "driving style" and then ask if they can explain what they mean by that. They can't. "the computer said so" is an absolutely fantastic excuse for these companies to make more money and I'm extremely cynical about it, even if we ignore the entire surveillance aspect for a second. The whole idea needs a lot more regulation/openness to be acceptable.
Meritocracy is an interesting "religion", which we unconsciously believe in, and one can probably argue is the basis of the Republican ideology. "You're poor? That must mean you're lazy!"

I find Alain de Botton's essays enlightening, here's a 2+ hour documentary about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1MqJPHxy6g , and a 4 minute summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iipn6yM43sM
1. Manspreading isn't "socially awkward" except in the very best case; more frequently, it makes seats that should be available unusable.

2.

a. It is an issue. I live in Boston, which has a pretty good public transit system, and I'll usually see one or two manspreaders per train car I ride.

b. You're conflating "taking up more space as a result of body size" with "maximizing the amount of space consumed". No one is complaining about the Andre the Giant-sized guy for whom it's impossible to keep it to one seat. I'm a relatively broadly-built/tall man, and I don't have any trouble keeping myself in one seat while riding the train, which makes me very skeptical of anyone else who claims that stretching out is necessary.

3. Well, if that's the case, then at least we'll know who the assholes are.
It's simply a matter of definition, and the most useful one will depend on the discussion being had. You could say rich is above certain income, certain wealth, etc. I would think this is most appropriate for discussions about income and wealth inequality.

However, if we're talking about state of mind, then rich can be how secure one feels in their lifestyle. If all your family and friends are doctors/lawyers/business and owners/engineers and everyone is making $200k+, then making $100k won't feel rich. You won't be able to engage in many of the activities they can. You might also not feel rich if your income isn't secure, there is working rich and then wealthy, where you can make a few hundred thousand from investments and don't have to worry about getting sick or taking sabbaticals.
1. true, women doing makeup getting covered in dust and eyeshadow is not fun.

2. it is an issue. Plus for some reason men don't tend to do it as often when they sit next to each other or if they do generally one turns and spreads their legs into the aisle making it difficult for the people standing there or hard for people to get off the train.
> I never saw a nice use-case of namespaces. Maybe you can show me one?

Basic example: If you want to mix data from several formats in one document.

Let's say you want to create an RSS-feed which contains information about "new stuff" whatever that new stuff is. This "new stuff" may actually be other XML-data which can be parseable and processable by other tools (like for instance new builds, deployments, whatever). This data probably has a format of sorts individually, independent of the RSS-feed itself, which has its own well defined format.

Now let's say both the RSS-feed and the custom-data contains both a "link" element and a "title" element. Without namespaces, these are bound to collide.

Some examples of problems which then arises:

- How can a RSS-library validate that the feed format itself is correct?

- How does a RSS-feed library know which "link" elements it should process and display, instead of only ones which belongs to the feed definition?

- How does the RSS-processing library know that it should most definitely ignore that title which belongs to the deployment metadata?

- Etc etc

Namespaces allows you to combine data from different formats without ever running the risk of the data getting mixed up by whoever consumes them.

It's a really basic feature, and it's at the core of the whole eXtensible bit of XML. I'm honestly surprised by both the amount of people who find this confusing and how few people are able to realize the value of such a simple construct.

I guess too many "1337 HTML ninja rockstars" got introduced to XML as "just another angle-bracket markup format" and never actually bothered to learn anything about absolutely foundational XML basics.

just talked to a family member yesterday who's in charge of "quality assurance" - reviewing internal medical documents for errors. Her team has the lowest scores. It's because she and her team keep finding the most errors. She was told to start counting every 6 errors as 1 error so they're numbers will 'match' the other teams. The "errors" have to do with grammar and punctuation with (US) English. The "other teams" are offshored in various countries, and her team is US based. But hey... the other team numbers look better, so just... just quit counting so many damn errors so our numbers can all look good...
Take a modified attackers point of view.

Could you convince a cell phone store rep that you are who you say you are without your drivers license?

Or, for a million bucks, could you make a cell phone store rep think you were someone else?

The answer is why SMS 2fa isn't such a great idea. Because your security checkpoint is owned by a (underpaid) store representative.
That doesn't mean you're not rich, that just means that you're spending your income on immediate comfort and flashy toys rather than security. If you lived further within your means and invested the difference wisely, within a year or two you would have far more security than the $30k household will ever have.

Of course, for the most part they're similar. What the article alludes to is the stratification of social classes. There are the wealthy rich, the professionals, and the working class (Of course there are more​ classes and this is a simplification). Children of the elites tend to stay elite, children of professionals are professionals, and so on. Regardless, vast majority of the people have to work to maintain their lifestyle. It's hard to feel that you made it if not working makes you lose your position.
Thanks for your response:

I'm doing something like you with miki today, but at the end of the day I have to admit that this "easy management" is more work for me than the system I need because I'm wasting time finding a specific receipt or invoice.

I think your right with the minimalistic approach, I'm lazy and I will not use it if I have to do a lot to store a document.

I'm not quite sure if such a system is useful for the open world too but open-source it will show :P

Apple is also removing the freedom developers had to give users the options of track location even when in the background or never track location, but not the option to only track while using the app. They're also restricting the freedom developers had to ask for reviews.

One could argue that no one was forced to install those apps that always tracked them, or that they could manually switch between the options. However the small minority of people who care about the privacy of their location will now have a lot more apps available to them with less hassle, because Apple is deciding to enforce a rule.

I don't think these new guidelines about executable code in education apps will be a problem, but I can imagine dropping the restriction altogether allowing developers to take advantage of users who aren't vigilant, or simply making people have to be much more suspicious about everything they allow on their phone.
You've got your order reversed. China uses it's currency to buy investments in Africa. The Africans now have a bunch of Chinese currency, and clearly, they are going to do something with it. Most likely they will use it to buy consumer goods made in China. Thus creating a trade deficit that's exactly equal to the investment surplus.

There's nothing mysterious or sinister about the balance of payments. It's a mathematical and accounting tautology. I suggest spending some time reading about it from a good source, if you're still skeptical.
