I feel like you are conflating two issues in your comparison. Building code for devices, and distributing that code on the App Store.

We (programmers) have great device access without undergoing corporate review. And this has only gotten better for the Apple ecosystem. I can go to Github, download an open source iOS project and build it for my device. They removed the $99/year barrier. An Apple ID is still needed, but the direction has been positive.

Publishing on the App Store is not really relevant. I can experiment, write code, and publish that code without Apple's blessing.

Any curated stores (stores for web apps are no exception — like the Chrome store) are going to put limits on what can be published. That is where their value lies. The curation entices users which creates demand that developers can service. Good curation is hard, and doing it well builds user trust. Developers can leverage that trust if they are willing to submit their work for review. And in the case of the App Store, developers can make income from that trust.
That still seems like a problem that the market can solve somehow without nationalizing an obscene amount of the US economy. We need to look at the insurance industry from the standpoint of how they are growing profits, who is getting the big paydays for it, and how much lobbying is done on their behalf. Because I recall as a kid growing up in the 1980s that health insurance was not that big of a deal to my parents who were of modest income and so there must be a reason why. I think that reason is that insurance, like every place a big pot of money exists, was "financialized" by the usual suspects.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 3. The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."

If developers and fast food workers alike feel compelled to move to California to escape the yoke of constricting and onerous non-compete agreements, there's an argument to be made that it's a meaningful impact to interstate commerce.

Before someone jumps to conclusions: after taxes.

Tax and VAT is around 70% of the price paid per kWh for ordinary consumers.
> That money came out of someone else's pocket!

This is also true of insurance systems.

Nobody's pretending that socialised systems magic healthcare out of thin air, it's more a question of total resources spent by society and distribution of outcomes - including whether certain people get rationed out of the system because they can't afford it.
This is great, but I'm not a fan of the "7 looks like a T"... my brain can't make that work. I request an "Ice T" mode that does this:

Whenever I see a post or announcement by a major company that they're using "machine learning", I'm reminded of what CGP Grey said: it seems like nowadays machine learning is something you add in to your product just so you can seem hip by saying that it has machine learning, and not for a legitimate technical reason.

There are undoubtedly things that machine learning is right for, however to me it seems like it's become a buzzword more than anything else.
Sounds like an opportunity for someone to make consulting money. I have found their docs lacking, but never tried support. Once I muddled through and figured out what I needed, I have been very happy.

That said, I have looked for alternatives and found none.

I am most disappointed in the mediocre coverage of their RDP drivers. I need to use all the features over RDP. Some work and some don't.
22 hours and Hacker News is silent on this issue...
I've changed over time for some reason. I have a nice dual monitor, mechanical keyboard setup in my office at home. But I really got into the habit of working on my laptop--probably because of a lot of travel. These days, I'm more likely to just work on my laptop at home and not even in the office. At work, I have an external monitor and keyboard I could use but I never do.
That distinction is lost on me: Either you are voting to strip the wealth of people under the color of law or you aren't.
That may be the case, but the Danish vehicle tax has not made a meaningful dent in neither car ownership nor usage.
>it's not really an import fee but a registration fee

Indeed, it is payed even if you live in Denmark, go buy a car in Germany, drive it back to Denmark yourself, and want to use it there.
How Smart is the Grid?
The article doesn't say it lacks competition.

The decline in growth is entirely the result of the huge import tax:

> electric car dealers were for a long time spared the jaw-dropping import tax of 180 percent that Denmark applies on vehicles fueled by a traditional combustion engine.

This article is only looking at growth rates, not total sales by cost or by market position, so it wouldn't be a useful comparative metric anyway.

If anything, what it indicates is that they'd sell 10x more cars (both electric/gas) if it wasn't for the tax.

- 2600 sold in 2015 w/ 0% import tax

- 200 sold in 2016 w/ 180% import tax
I wonder what impact Boomers have on this too. Last year the Boomers finally lost their status as the biggest generation, so I would expect to see the importance of the 60's, 70's and 80's begin to decline. At the same time, we see nostalgia for the 90's starting: Bill Nye, Full House, Surge...
I'm fine with them saying no. However that means they are paying for my sabbatical for the duration of the non-compete. What I do is not up to them: I have said I do not want to work for them, and they won't let me work where I want, so the only middle ground it getting paid for not working at all. This includes cost of living raises every year.

Note, if you are ever in this situation you should not let yourself stagnate. Someday they will decide your knowledge isn't worth the price they are paying and release you. If you have nothing to show for your time nobody will hire you and that is your own fault. I recommend grad school, or get a degree in something else, or make it your full time job to work on open source projects.

Generally courts frown on non-competes: they fail to meet the standards of a contract as there is no consideration from one side and a person has the right to support themselves using their knowledge and experience. Courts are sympathetic only when you are taking specific knowledge to the new company and that is a higher bar than most non-competes can meet.
Israel Successfully Hacked ISIS Computers and Trump Leaked It to the Russians
Maybe he does... BUT I used to work for a consulting firm that would sometimes bid against far east outsourced providers when local firms had projects.

This is anecdotal but over and over again, this was the scenario:

1. local firm collects bids
2. As courtesy firm tells us we were 2-5x more expensive than winner, winner is in far east.
3. 1,2,3 years latter firm returns to us asking if we can re-submit but on a more shorter timeline (maybe the project would have been 2-3 engineers for 6 mo)
4. We come back with a new bid that is 8-12x more, has a bigger team than we would have used orgiinally, less favorable risk analysis..
5. They paid us to take them on! Often-times we had to throw away almost everything their Bangladesh contractors had been working on for years (fundamentally bad schema, no unit tests, bad bad code)...

I watched much of the video and he does interrupt other panelists frequently. He also gives a less obtuse lead-in and allows her to speak uninterrupted at around 27 minutes. Following that, other panelists acknowledge the importance of her statements.

Also, the panelist herself wrote that she thought it funny that the guy was asking and answering a question at the same time; she didn't feel she was targeted or silenced during the event.

This guy just likes to dominate conversations and lacks self/social awareness. I bet he's like that all the time. Does he do it more to the woman in the video? Yeah, you might have a good argument that he does.
But I've met plenty of these people in management-level meetings and they do it to everybody; it's soooo annoying. Very hard to assert yourself without making things awkward. Impossible to assert yourself when it's a woman who's overriding everyone else.

The solution is usually to appoint a meeting moderator that everyone knows to be fair beforehand (obviously, this isn't always viable), but we found it shortened up our medical practice meetings quite a bit. The guy who likes to hear himself talk still goes overboard from time to time, but we have a third-party moderator who can cut him off without worrying about upsetting a supervisor.

I could drop Prime membership. It would be somewhat more difficult to stop buying products from any company who used AWS. In another case where I knew people who moved from one org to another, which then was sued for similar reasons as in the article, both companies were enterprise organizations that would not be impacted by consumer shopping patterns.
Myth: The Tesla uses a lot of graphite in their battery, which contributes to China’s pollution problem.

Actually: The logic here is: “Tesla batteries use graphite; the world’s biggest source of graphite is in China; China has terrible pollution; therefore, Tesla is partially responsible for China’s pollution.” Except when I did some digging, I learned that Tesla uses synthetic graphite made mostly in Japan and Poland, and that the average Model S uses 100kg of it. That 100kg lasts for ten years, so the amount of graphite used to make a Model S is similar to the amount you’d use if you had a few barbecues a year.

Also, it is a bit of a niche, but AMD's single precision compute is typically better than NVIDIA's (spFLOP/$ both capital and operational).
But that't the whole point: for fifteen years it didn't get better on its own. In fact, it got progressively worse over a period of months and years. When things got really bad (like on-the-floor-writhing-in-pain-wishing-I-were-dead bad) I went to see a doctor. The doctor did something (meds, endoscopies) and then things got better, and they'd stay better for a few years before they slowly, steadily, and inexorably got worse again. This cycle repeated itself three times in fifteen years. This most recent episode was the fourth cycle.

What makes this last episode interesting was that fate intervened to force me to do a control experiment, and the outcome has been dramatic: I feel as good (if not better) than immediately after all the prior interventions. In 15 years I have never had that happen if I just did nothing.

What are you hoping to do with yubikey / what was your question?
Non-competes enforced in this way certainly seem unfair to employees.

But let's talk this through. Assuming we all agree we don't like them, what's the alternative? There seem to exist obvious negative consequences of them not existing in any form.

Wouldn't large companies such as Google, Amazon etc be able to poach any employee of let's say a startup competitor, by simply paying way more, therefore being able to steal ideas, technology, etc?

Or even amongst (well-capitalized) companies of any size: a free-for-all for employees within industries, good or bad? Maybe not so bad actually.. what say you?

Seriously asking because I'm trying to envision the positives and negatives of them being outlawed..
Does it matter whose fault it is (for purposes of this discussion)? It's the reality.
GE CEO Jeff Immelt is stepping down –here's how he reshaped the company's future
The problem with the phrase "identity theft" is that it puts the onus of security onto the consumer to secure their personal details instead of onto the bank/telcos/etc to secure their systems.

We should call it what it is: fraud. Whether that's bank fraud, computer fraud or wire fraud, banks should be responsible for compensating individuals for the losses incurred. One way to encourage this change is a change in the language we use surrounding these crimes.

I basically agree, the problem is that we tend to say, "we want to make this road safe by making it tolerant of faster driving" which basically translates to encouraging faster driving because drivers base their speed on what feels appropriate.

Even if you check the error on close you don't know the data's been written to disk. This doesn't win you any guarantees on its own, but it is necessary to consider if you do sync later and want to prevent errors from leaking through.

In my experience, remote work is like a work tax you have to pay, and you have to weigh the tradeoffs.

If you have a completely remote team, you're paying at least something in productivity, because training people to be open to hop on a VC or chat at a moment's notice and documenting everything through email or a shared document is not trivial, especially when you're not used to doing things that way, and the costs are not zero.

Or you could do everything asynchronously to deal with time zones, but then you're introducing an inevitable lag based on overlap of working hours.

For a healthy, functioning organization, it might be worth it. However, if your team is already dysfunctional, having remote workers exacerbates the problem. (I have first hand experience)
Because the executives and rich people who bankroll companies aren't yet sold on remote work, and those who are mostly prefer to just hire where labor is the cheapest (eg. India, Eastern Europe)
Genuinely, seriously I never noticed this.

AFAIK they are used at Mozilla. The Firmware is Open Source. Downside is that not all their dongles support U2F.
We won't really know this for a few years. The phasing out of the tax break was announced well ahead of time, so most people just made sure to buy one before it kicked in.

Uber board is meeting to consider CEO Kalanick temporarily stepping down
>The question isn't, "Should people on HN feel guilty?". It's, "should people on HN receive a state subsidy for being fortunate?"

The feelings of instilling guilt goes hand-in-hand with convincing the intended audience that they got to their position because of fortune instead of hard work. (The chain of thinking is then: your hard work didn't get you to the position of taking the mortgage deduction; instead it was your luck that did it.)

The writer wants workers with 100k salaries to vote for higher taxes on themselves by supporting politicians that promise to remove mortgage deductions and 529 education savings plans. In other words, he has to convince HN programmers making 100k that they are in fact, oppressing the low-income class. (E.g. Those tax deductions for home & college are subverting meritocracy and you should _feel bad_ for taking advantage of them.)

Do you think the writer's style of rhetoric was effective at persuasion? Or was he only effective at getting people who already agreed with him to nod in affirmation?

You have to factor the fact that offices are very distracting and full of interruptions. I personally feel that i get close to double the work done when I work from home.
Shame that such awesome space was barely being used right in the middle of SF. There is a pretty severe shortage of office space in the area. Automattic should both make a pretty good profit by subleasing at current much higher market rents and help alleviate the shortage.

Even better would be if this low density land could be incorporated into the huge 667 Folsom office/residential project planned next door. You could build 50,000+ sqft on that large lot and help both the office and housing shoartage. Unfortunately SF's planning process is so slow and uncertain it is probably too late even if the owner and tenants agreed.
They do though. RE is a python library, an Erlang library, there's a reference to perlre, clojure calls it re, etc. Then there's the C lib pcre.

Also Google chooses to alias certain things for a reason.
I have 100's if not many thousands of options to buy from when it comes to Amazon, but yes, Amazon is ultimately responsible for what they sell and - surprise - we have laws against counterfeit merchandise sold as if it were the original brand. So yes, Amazon has some duty here.

Apple does not have the same kind of duties when it comes to apps in the Apple app-store, they have created a de-facto monopoly on the channel between the people programming applications for ios and their customers.

5. fun.

A lot of people -myself included- enjoy solving puzzles for fun. So I often set myself weird or obscure challenges to solve with code.
To be fair, I think you're just bad at using computers. They make these things called aliases, which let you make up helpful mnemonics if you struggle to remember the commands. Also, 5 years of experience, but you have to google commands? The manpage is right there, why does google and the internet ever have to get involved?

If after 5 years of "using" a tool as powerful as git, and you have to google basic git commands, I'm not sure if you ever really spent any time learning how to use git at all or ever read the manpage. It's something that is common today in our form-over-function tech, but something I dearly miss. Read the manpage, maybe you'll discover git is not "junk".
Not sure about the US, but in France it's pretty common to use these kind of sub-optimal ways to reduce headcount, like offering a "resign bonus" for the volunteers.

Obviously highly employable people will leave, but the company saves the risk of strike, lawsuits, bad press etc. that come with lay-offs.
No, that Android having Linux as kernel is actually relevant to Android programming.

Given the OS architecture Google can easily announce a version using other kernel, given that there is very little UNIX specific on what can be done with public NDK APIs.

Only those customising Android builds would be impacted.

It's like onomatopoeia, but with colors instead of sounds.
I think you are running afoul of not realizing that "world class" neural networks are a ton of code. Just as a trivial SAT solver is easy and can be implemented rather quickly.

Now, neither will be that good at the job they are made for. But that is far from unique to this field. Consider, a car/bike/house/whatever is not exactly hard to build for backyard use. Getting world class, on the other hand, escalates to difficult very quickly.
Me too, and that's why as a remote worker I go to a coworking space.
Isn't a blockchain simply a distributed data structure?

I mean, people also don't use trees or linked lists for everything, so why does this need extra explanation?
"there are still a lot of negative externalities"

True. but luckily most people don't commute by car here in Denmark, bike infrastructure is close to perfect. And most energy is renewable, so it's not as bad as it could have been.
"The employees who feel like they need the job will move, but those who know they can get a job elsewhere will not. This adverse selection leads to some of your best employees leaving, with your worst staying."

So your argument is that the employees that choose to stay must be bad because there can not be other reasons for their decision but the limits of their career prospects? Even if that might be true to some degree, I'm afraid that if you use this logic to guide yourself it will someday backfire badly.

The "vote with your dollars" narrative is becoming a common way of dismissing peoples concerns without consideration. It reinforces the plutocracy. I voted by voting!
