People buy cars that they are free to repair or modify. We've even guaranteed some of those freedoms in law[1], such as 15 USC § 2302(c) which prohibits[1] warranty conditions that forbid using 3rd party parts or independent repair services. (the FTC even clarified[2] a couple years ago that deceptively implying that such a condition exists is also forbidden).

Having the freedom to repair or modify your car does not mean you are a "wannabe mechanic". It may mean that in rare situations, but most people utilize that freedom when they take their car to for maintenance or repair at an independent mechanic. Locking down a device isn't necessary to provide a curated market. Apple could achieve a similar limited-market by including some kind of warranty with apps purchased through their curated store to increase confidence that their curation guarantees a minimum level of quality/security)

This isn't about people wanting to be developers (or mechanics); it's about property rights. Are you buying your phone, or are you leasing it? Apple says[3] "buy" in the page title (and the URL!). The software industry - and recently John Deere - like to pretend that copyright law and carefully worded contracts of adhesion give them de facto ownership over anything by adding software. This misuse of copyright[4] is an attack on property rights. There are many ways to provide convenience, security. Guaranteeing some amount of quality in products or services does not require giving up your ability to own modern goods.

I am using Hooked model to improve UX which I am doing. It is because it can not be said that improvement has been achieved unless the user keeps using it.
In the measurement, we set the action contents of the user (creation of account, preview of music, etc.) as tasks and set it as "Time on Task Rate", "Error Occurrence Rate", "Task Success Rate".

Measurement tools use Google Analytics and BI Tool / Tableau.

I think that this method is the best for now, but is there any other good way?
I got an equivalent Haswell processor on my 13inch and have never ever experienced CPU throttling even while gaming.

It's very very rare for non-ultrabooks to throttle and usually when it happens is because some manufacturers intend it for whatever marketing reasons and not due to heat really building up.

You likely wouldn't benefit from a 7700 in a laptop in real life tasks but to suggest that all new laptops with high end processors throttle enough that your old one ends up performing better is an outlandish exaggeration.

Not to mention that the GHz race has been over for some time now and clockspeed isn't all that matters.

1. Good insurance is unavailable to many, many people in the US.

2. Good insurance is extremely expensive. If your premiums for good insurance are low, that just means your employer is paying a lot. I don't see much substantive difference between paying high premiums and paying high taxes.
Because this is one way of seeing security. If I have a private jet and runway, I can fly away when war breaks loose.

I am much taller than average, way above the 99th percentile. On public transportation and on planes, as a matter of fact, I occupy more space than most people. Sometimes seats are designed so that I cannot help but invade someone else's space. Usually it takes just a second a tiny bit of common sense to ask someone to move a bit. Most often just eye contact is enough.

On the other hand I saw my fair share of jackasses on public transportation (feet over a seat, bringing in bikes during peak hours when it is explicitly forbidden, screaming on phone, drinking beer and then throwing the can on the floor, occupying more than one seat) and -- surprise surprise -- males and females were equally represented among jackasses.

This feminist trend of making up problems and sticking a "male" label on it really makes me sick!

Binky: The App That Does Nothing
It's the difference between someone who can maintain a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of their life if they don't go overboard, and someone who has enough money to start pursuing other ventures at cost. This comes with a whole lot of changes like losing most of your 'poor people' friend circle and rubbing shoulders with impactful people.

For that matter, you can market both of those as advantages.

So what? Everything in life is a gamble and involves risk. You need to learn how to live with it.

Dating? Hell, you can't even get to know someone properly in 6+ months. Taking a job? It's all rainbows and unicorns unless you work there for a 6-12 months, etc.

You act as if investing is bad. You're never going to make any meaningful amount of money if you don't invest (in the broadest sense, this could be in yourself, in your business, in the stock market, in alternative assets, etc).

Debt magnifies the result of your investment. Whether you make a good or bad investment is ultimately up to you. Moderate debt isn't a real issue. The interest is often also tax deductible. It sure as hell makes more sense taking on debt for investing than it does taking on debt to (excessively) spend (as most Americans do).

You are arguing against the article's demographic arguments with your own n=1 anecdata.
It could have had a factory for a foreign brand, though if I had to guess, I would expect that they don't have one. Still, Denmark is an EU member, so imports of German cars should be free.

But as I understand, it's not really an import fee but a registration fee, which probably means you also have to pay it for domestically manufactured cars.
It was an interesting piece but now I am interested in how sensitive the Brits are to accent. Can someone point to an example of upper class speech vs lower class speech and stuff in-between?

Accent very much colors perceptions in America as well. There are "redneck" and "urban" accents that would absolutely be a devastating red-flag in many job interview situations.

I understand your comment and your original post, and while I somewhat agree, I think you're missing the point.

You say that the super rich have something most of us don't, stability. I agree with that. The super rich often want the rest of us to lack stability, it's good for employers to have desperate workers. However, at 300k, while you do not have absolute stability like the super rich, you have something that comes very close... the ability to plan ahead.

At 300k, you can save, buy top notch insurance and whether the storms that MANY people in the US cannot. Sure, there could be financial blows that are just too large to shrug off... but those blow that you can withstand, and those of a 30k'er, are two different beasts.

Can we please not generalize Africa? It's the biggest continent of the world, not a giant 3rd world country plagued by famine and poverty. Some countries are, but if you mean those, please name them specifically.

(I dislike phrases like "asians" and "europeans" too, much as Americans should dislike the moniker "American")
Many of my friends are in the $30k area, so I can put in a data point for you there. They work long hours, often on weekends, sometimes two part time jobs or one full time job and a side gig. The thing that's hard is there is more supply of unskilled workers than there is demand for them. If you don't put in the time and put up with your shitty boss and coworkers, someone else will, and now you're homeless because the US has no social safety structure. Coupled with our abysmal minimum wage, this results in working 60 hour weeks to acquire your barely-above-poverty wage. As someone with a very comfy job (hey, I'm posting on HN right now), it enrages me to see people who work harder than me paid less than half my salary. And I'm on the low end of the IT wage scale.

It's debatable.

Public healthcare differs a lot between countries.

> if you have something not risky you have wait-times for exams of 1-3 weeks

In Canada that's closer to 3-6 months.

In Canada, average wait times in emergency rooms are 20+ hours.
>If you're going to knock Windows on a lack of security, at the very least do as much as you can do to protect yourself on a Mac. Note the long list of security fixes in the latest version of MacOS https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222*

Well, those security fixes don't matter much. There are as many, if not more, for windows for one.

But even more so, what matters is actual number of exploits in the wild. Sure, any OS can be exploited. But in reality, not all are, and Macs have traditionally had far less malware/virus issues (close to zero). Time and again, "OS X viruses" are shown to be just trojan (which you can never get by just practicing software download hygiene). And even at worse, they affect something in the low single digits (or less).

It's not a case of market share either. When Windows had 98% of the market, and Mac OS (pre-OS X) was dwindling to 1-2%, it still had more viruses that it has today with 5-10% of the US market.
It might be helpful to see how this can be interpreted as a rotation in the time-frequency domain,

Outside the US, they won't. Working at Daimler for 10 years, you don't clear 80000 EUR if not moving in a managerial tier, and even then you'll have to move quite far up. (Starting nowadays, you'll have 50000 EUR starting salary as a junior developer.) And this is before taxes; even with 2 children, I'll pay upwards of 40 percent income tax in addition to 19 percent mandatory health insurance.

> Why this focus on guilt? Are we not allowed to be angry, as long as we still have some shred of comfort in out lives?

It's a manipulation tactic designed to force you to support the political aims of certain factions. While I do support the working class and poor, I, at least, decline to be manipulated.

It's a foolish tactic anyway; hammering the general public on guilt and privilege instead of focusing on sympathy and justice simply breeds resentment and will result in them silently sabotaging your agenda.
> I don't understand these comments.

It's cognitive dissonance. They have not experienced a quality public health care first hand, so they cannot admit that it works without contradicting their core economical beliefs.
> You can comfortably afford the best available health insurance.

Even on not-so-good insurance, isn't this why out-of-pocket maximums exists? I'm not a fan of the current system of healthcare insurance, and I'm not an apologist for how these companies push costs back onto people. However out-of-pocket maximum exists so that you don't go bankrupt for a catastrophic event that requires substantial care over the course of a year. It will vary from carrier to carrier, but I doubt a you'll ever pay more than $20k on a year of treatment for lowered tiered plans. With $300k, this person's cap is more likely to be between $5k and $10k. That's going to sting a bit, but $10k is still only 3% of the total income.

I don't deny that a disabling event can really screw things up for a family, but even insurance has its limit on how much they can screw you.

But also:

> On $300k a year, either you're not really precarious or you're making utterly reckless financial decisions.
>If you're getting infected all the time using Windows, you're doing something stupid.

Or, you know, just switch to an OS where you don't.
How rich is "rich" in your mind? At what point can you never be ruined? It's always possible to piss your money away. MC Hammer filed for bankruptcy after being worth 33 million. If you want to slide the scale of "not oppressed" downward, you can just as well slide the scale of "not rich" upward.
You want a public option for boiler repairs and parking tickets? That doesn't even make sense, and creates an obvious moral hazard because people have no incentive to make prudent decisions if there are no consequences to imprudent ones. Why do you think healthcare and education are already so expensive and inefficient?

The much better solution is to make a universal basic income the sole welfare system. Then let people make their choices.

This was also the Eric Sink approach to running his business:

The principle

The thing I find most interesting about Ping Pong is that you can often win without doing anything fancy or aggressive. A lot of players think the way to win is to slam the ball really hard. The problem with this strategy is that a slam is a high-risk/high-reward shot. If you do it right, you almost certainly score a point when your opponent fails to return the ball. If you do it wrong, you give your opponent a point.

Modesty aside, I consider myself a "pretty good" Ping Pong player. I can slam the ball when necessary, but I hardly ever do. I can beat most other players by simply returning every shot with a little backspin. Hitting the ball hard simply isn't necessary. All I need to do is wait for the other player to make 21 mistakes.

How software is similar

You can beat a lot of competitors by simply not beating yourself. Most companies go out of business because of their own stupid mistakes, not because of the brilliance or strength of their competitor. Stay conservative, and stay in business. Watch the years go by, and you'll be surprised how many of your competitors come and go.

My intuition says yes; if a wrong number is placed in a square and then taken as ground truth for solving the rest of the puzzle, it certainly seems like the error would propagate.

As a concrete example, say you misplace a '2' somewhere within a given puzzle. Obviously, this cell is incorrect. But depending on the nature of what the NN has learned, it may believe the row (resp. column, 3x3 box constraint) already has the '2' in it, so tries to fill its correct spot with another number. Which of course then leads to the column and/or 3x3 box of that cell to learn an incorrect value, starting the process over again.

This same phenomenon can be seen in the game Kenken; depending on the strategies you use at any given point in the game, one mistake can propagate outward pretty quickly and spoil large sections of the puzzle.

Denmark and Sweden's top marginal tax rate is around 60%, which doesn't include value added taxes of about 10%.
Where's the evidence that this solidarity ever existed? On the coasts at least, the people in this $300K range may talk a good talk about marginalized groups, etc, but the solidarity clearly ends at their pocketbooks.

Wealthier people skew Republican, and that's not just the 1%. OP's example of the school districts is another example. Still another is the fact that, if you look in any city in America, the wealthy (but not 1%er) areas have better roads, better parks, and better everything in terms of public infrastructure. I have a friend who works at the local power company who outright says that whenever there is a storm that takes out power, the wealthy areas come first for repairs, right after hospitals and police stations. Not, you know, the most populated areas or anything.

And it gets worse still, when the 20% try to redirect blame at the 1%. Because who are these 20%ers anyway? They're lawyers, managers, mid-level executives, financiers, maybe developers for banks, big ad firms, or VC-owned boondoggles. In short, they are the white-collar "hands" providing the services that allow the 1% to exert the level of control they do over the whole system.

To hear the 20% disclaim all responsibility for the state of inequality in the country is very similar to how the head of HR or IT tells you "well, I really can't do anything about anything, it's just Policy, set by our betters". But they are enabling all of it.
I was thinking about doing something similar just the other day.

I would pick SQLite and not PG, simpler to get it running and simpler to operate.
That is incorrect. The top 1% earn about 20% of the income in the US.

They pay about 40% of the income taxes (I went and looked this up after your comment. "Nearly half" was perhaps slightly overstating the case).

Given that we have a progressive tax system it makes intuitive sense that the higher percentiles (1%, 5%, 10%, whatever) will always pay a greater percentage of total income tax than they make in total income.

Depends on where you live. 30k in the Midwest compared to 300K in San Francisco is actually not too far apart.

2 Beds 1 Bath -- 650 Jackson MO or 7800 a year or 25% of the income gross

$4940 - $5160 /mo 2 beds / 2 bath 979 sqft say 5000 a month or 60000 a year or 20% of the income

add the huge differences in effective tax rate of CA to MO combined with the jump in federal tax rates and it is arguable that 30k in MO would actually be better off
Language and nationality would be two significant obstacles.
On all cars, not just electric cars. That's sort of the point of the whole thing. Electric cars were taxed less than diesel or petrol powered cars, the law changed and electric vehicles started to be taxed as any other car and sales dropped like rock.
Yeah, it was hyperbole. Git does the job.
