Congrats!

I didn't mention real estate because I assumed you were young. But I personally don't invest there.

- You can buy houses, rent them to others, and make a living - I have neighbors who do this and friends and family who have done it, but it ends up taking a lot of your time and adding stress and aggravation to your life.

- You can pay off your mortgage, but interest rates are so crazy low now that this doesn't seem to make much sense.

- You can buy a bigger house than you need, and hope that it appreciates in value. I know a lot of people who are selling now in the Bay Area and making silly money from what they paid for their houses originally. But Bay Area housing seems quite overpriced currently. While I wouldn't expect it to crash soon, it doesn't seeem like it has room to double again. Other areas of the country have slower growth but more room to grow. I personally just have a small, comfortable house and don't spend much there.

I guess the sure things in real estate tend to be either a lot of work, or a long, slow return. Nothing wrong with those, they just don't fit what I'm looking for.

Did you watch the video? Studies show you are starving yourself (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bmb.2005.49403304...). Ketogenic diet is very dangerous see: https://www.thepaleomom.com/adverse-reactions-to-ketogenic-d... There are no bad side effects from a starch based diet.

> I'm afraid you're mistaken. Most ketogenic studies and reports I've read pretty decisively say that the main predictors of heart disease improve dramatically on a ketogenic diet. LDL, HDL, and triglycerides all tend to improve.

Starch based diet has cured heart disease and has taken people from high 200's to under 150 and even lower.

> > It really isn't healthy for you
> You're mistaken.

See first comment

> Most people gain most of the weight back, as per any diet ever. Do you think your starch-based diet is immune to this effect? I have a very "whatever works" opinion on dieting. Your starch diet works for you, a ketogenic diet works for others, and that seems okay.

Because you can stay on a starch based diet forever, which I plan on doing, as it really isn't a diet but a choice on the food I am eating. I am not hungry like all the other diets I have ever been on.

There are many other reasons to be on a vegan diet over just health like animal cruelty and environment. I would rather see wins in all three but I agree with you that you need to find what works for you. This is a person decision as you make the choice on what you put in your own mouth.

giving a bunch of people departing - involuntarily or supposedly not - right now, what happens with their options, ie. do they get a [sweet] deal on it (one can see how loosing potential multiple [tens/hundreds] millions may possibly put them into litigious and/or talking mode otherwise)? If i remember Uber didn't allow for secondary market transactions, and given the valuation i don't think anybody would be able to afford (or believe in Uber's current valuation strong enough) to pay that size of AMT on their own. On the other side, giving deal to the ones who is supposedly being punished for bad behavior - that wouldn't send a good signal either.
My understanding is that this is a bit of a false alarm, because most devices target 150C, which is just enough to vaporize the PG, but not oxidize it, not 300C where things get ugly. So, with reasonable safety measures in place, this shouldn't be an issue.
Not rude if it was correct.

But this blogspot website works fine without javascript. Also, for the ones that do not, it is easy to dump any blogger (blogspot) website to "basic text" using netcat, etc. No javascript needed.

The problem must be in the blocker you are using or something else.

imo, blockers that work via the browser are not the optimal way to retrieve basic text.

You are still using a massive browser which you do not need to retrieve a page of basic text, which can easily be accomplished by a smaller, more simple program.

Using a small tcp client like netcat and saving the page to a (temporary) file is one way to do it.

If you then want to view the basic text by opening the file in a large, complex, ad-sponsored, web browser that is optimized for running javascript and automatically connecting to third party servers, you can do that.

Or you could use something simpler. You have a choice.

>this is only fuelled because middle managers right across the org are either unwilling to say no, or have no authority to do so

>watching staff just constantly burn out in various teams

Those are typical examples of a toxic org that uses forced ranking / stack ranking as a weapon rather than any real measure of performance. I don't think that's unique to AWS. It's nice to hear Oracle is so much better even if it's anecdotal.
To be clear, I'm not actually advocating that used BMWs are affordable.

Edit: I do wonder how many of these "cheap" electric cars will ever have a replacement battery pack. When your car value drops below $5000, are you really going to spend $3000 (guesstimate including labor) to replace the battery?

I've had a support ticket open with them for over 30 days and not a single human response. There were two automated messages stating that they were backlogged, but at this point it's beyond ridiculous. I've gone to their forums and have tweeted at them, but support is completely non-existent. It surprised me how big of a player they are considering this and similar issues listed here in the comment thread.

The "It's Working" problem.
I worked at the North American branch of a Japanese game company about ten years ago, so adjust salaries accordingly. The senior Japanese programmers made about ~45K in Japan and got a cost of living adjustment to ~75K plus company housing and transportation when the programmers started a temporary stint in the North American office. I had a little less experience than these guys but made about 50% more because that was about average for USA programmers.
In a different context, I would totally upvote your comment, but in Now UI's case the contrast is extremely low and gondo's argument is quite valid. See my comment elsewhere [1] for hard numbers on the contrast.

You don't even have to decode the actual number, just comparatively figure out which one 'looks bigger'. In more steps than necessary to be abundantly explicit:

Step 1: group into two characters each.

Step 2: know that hex is an extension of decimal that adds the digits A-F after 9. So just like 0<1, 9<A and A<B etc.

Step 3: find the biggest and smallest groups by comparing the first digits of each. If they match they're pretty close.

Step 3a (optional): guestimate the intensity of each color by thinking of the first digit on the scale from 0 is least intense to F is most intense. (5: somewhat less than half, D: pretty close to max, 1: almost none etc)

Step 4: use your knowledge of additive color mixing to guestimate the color.

You don't need to be able to map each digit to its' decimal equivalent first to get a general guess. If you're missing Step 4, then you can still figure out mostly-primary colors like #D53A1F. Step 1 should be trivial. Step 3 can be guestimated.

The Modern Day Good Product Manager/Bad Product
I'm working remote for 3 years now.

I did it like that:

1. Saving money in my non-remote job where I worked for 7 years, so I didn't need to work for like 2 years.

2. Quitting my non-remote job, so I had time I could pour into working remote.

3. Doing some remote OSS work. Most OSS projects are remote anyway, people like free developer help, so this was an easy way to get into remote teams without much barriers like interviews etc. I also did a masters degree in computer science and had to do 2 projects, which were remote too. Never finished the master, lol, but still got that remote experience. Also I did a few projects, started doing all the coding at coffee shops etc.

4. Put my resume on online job websites that allowed me to say I only want remote jobs. Took me 4 months till I got a job, but I never wrote any company. Two companies wrote me and one gave me a job in the end.

5. Started working remote 2 years at a startup that was about 300km away from my home.

6. Quit the startup and started freelancing, which I'm doing for 6 months now.

---

I mostly learned about myself in the process. For example that the wish for remote work was just a wish for no bosses, more free time, etc.
I will try to translate my understanding:

> This collection forms an axiom system for the Natural numbers and all true statements are provable in this system. Indeed, every true statement is an axiom.

You have defined the axiom system as the set of all true statements about natural numbers so of course all true statements are provable! But crucially ...

> The problem with doing this is that the collection of all true statements about the Natural numbers is not recursively enumerable.

We want an extensional definition of a set of axioms. One way to get that is to enumerate it! This is important because ...

> Recursively enumerable was the goal of Hilbert and others because they wanted to reduce mathematics to an algorithmic or mechanical process of verification.

I can sympathize with this goal being that I use a proof assistant quite frequently.

Thank you for taking the time to respond!
There's always another book to read. But the books that I remember years later, the real gems, are few and far between. If I had some even marginally better process for finding those than dumb luck, I'd be thrilled.
Sure, I just meant if the TCO is around 1k/year higher on the BMW they are not really equivalent options for most people.

Anyway, this might change if they are more common, but for now used electrics seem to have a significant price premium suggesting people think replacing older battery packs is probably a good long term deal.

When I looked at salaries around my area and places I assume I know something it looks reasonable. What was interesting some guys working at same place for long with 8-10yr experience had quite low salary compared to guys with 4yrs experience in the same area, but that is something I would expect as well. Just throw away obvious jokes.
Why did you send them $5000 in the first place? Do you frequently fall victim to scams?
2 billion is a very large number that was probably not envisioned as reachable in the near future - as a programmer I'd argue this is a pretty easy mistake to make, and that while (slightly) embarrassing, its a good learning moment.

It's also really awesome that you're here, and that you guys were so honest about the nature of the bug - this is really something that should be encouraged.
Assuming that employers don't pay for commuting is a bit much. More stressed / sleep-deprived / commuting-fatigued employees are less effective at their jobs and, crucially, for the cases in which someone commutes while still spending all their desired time on leisure and sleep, then the commute time is clearly one-for-one substituted for work time.

There's plenty of research as to the negative effects of commuting (e.g. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/urban-survival/201501/c...)

I had my DEXA test a couple months ago and found out I have 3.5x the bone density of others my age due to my heavy weightlifting. It's probably why I've had 3 motorcycle crashes and never broke a single bone. Furthermore, the technician told me that I will probably never have problems with osteoporosis as a result!

In all this brouhaha, will Uber ever bother either to confirm or disprove Susan Fowler's original anecdotes?

Agree with Sujan, I found it very confusing too. At first glance it seems like the switch's 2 states are "Now UI Kit" and "White", which of course makes no sense. Only when I clicked it did I discover the other state.

I think you could add some space on the left side of the toggle and maybe show the "Orange" label there, or at least just add the space so it looks separated from the "Now UI kit" brand label.
So why do white men do it to women and PoC, or is your claim that ignorance only exists on one side of this?

You imply that while men can do nothing for themselves unless given positive experiences by women an PoC.

This is obviously false, since there are plenty of white men who have a good understanding of these issues.

Stop blaming women and PoC for your own ignorance and go and learn something from people who have figured this stuff out.
Does it need an update?
I don't think you're quite correct.

I think it's more that experiences as "full-spectrum" - they're occurring within multiple modes - while (most) drugs are single-spectrum. Which makes sense, most drugs are only trying to affect one thing - that's the goal.

If I jump out a plane, there' a lot more going on than the adrenaline spike. If I take an epipen, there's not much more going on than the adrenaline spike.

Show HN: Snake clone written in Nim
New York NIMBYs often refer to shadows when trying block the construction of a new building. But as covered in shadows as New York is, it doesn't have a shadow problem. It has an affordability problem. Lots of people are willing to spend crazy amounts of money there (many of whom could live anywhere in the world) because it's still an amazing place to live. More people would love to live there, but there is, of course, a shortage of affordable housing...
Sure - but lots of well meaning people calmly say awful things too, and it's no different to be on the receiving end - maybe even worse.

"Once you’ve created the new island-unto-itself email address, create a new Google Voice number." Use this Google Voice # to secure your primary accounts, and don't have your telco # listed in any of those accounts."

The problem with this otherwise good idea is that google will not allow you to keep this account as an island.

Eventually you will get the "we've noticed something suspicious about your account" dialog which requires entering some other, unrelated phone number. You're locked out until you do so.

The suspicious behavior is, of course, signing up without a live phone number.

Ironically, they will accept any number you input with no verification that it is related to the account in any way. They just want to see a live, carrier number input.

(This has been my experience from within the US)

Last week I received an automated email from them saying my 2-factor settings had changed and that if I didn't initiate it, please contact them.

I contacted them and they sent this: "You received an SMS and email notification indicating that your 2FA settings were changed. Please note that this message was sent in error and your 2FA settings have not been changed."

Wow.
because its convenient, and most people who are exposed to cryptocurrencies dont have the technical knowledge to do it on their own.

im in the official ethereum gitter and every day at least one person comes in saying something along the lines of "hello i have just poured half my life savings into this, my money is gone but my eth is not in my wallet please help" - only for some semi-official support guy to tell them that if they screw up, their money is gone.

then there are the people who make transactions in the tens of eth (thousands of dollars) to the wrong address, then begging on etherscan for the owner of that address to send their eth back.

crypto is in such an infantile state that even most "software engineers" shouldnt get anywhere near it on their own.

I have a somewhat contrarian prediction for Moore's Law. I think the next wave or two of innovation will obliterate the current progress of Moore's Law.

Yes, Moore's law may seem to be slowing down right now, but all you need to do is look at the size, energy consumption, and ability of a human brain to realize that nature has blindly created a much more advanced "technology" than what we currently have.

Next, look at flying. Birds are nature's most advanced flying machines. We've been able to expand on that to the point where we have jets and even reusable rockets that can go a thousand times faster than the fastest bird.

Right now, computing is at the "man puts big flaps on his arms and jumps off high ledge" point. Once we figure out the "first airplane", AKA wright brothers moment, Moore's law will explode.

I only get emails sometimes, but I end up ignoring them all because when I think about composing a reply that sums up to "bug off" I can't decide whether it'd be more effective to send all my complaints or cite just one of no free snacks, no personal side projects including games, no normal 40 hour weeks, presence of stack ranking, aggressive non-compete, or now being (at least internally) worse than Oracle.

It's hard to read a ketogenic diet page that begins with a long disclaimer about you only you are responsible for your health and diet and "we can't take any responsibility for the consequences", and then conclude that the result represent good advice for the overall health of average people. Normal people are not going to tune their diet by measuring their blood chemistry.

Edit to say that the point may be that those diets were broadly comparable except in consumption of animal foods; the vegetarian diet was modestly higher and lower in protein and fat, but not by much.
That is all true, but the thing is that most of the developers I know are single and have lots of time on their hands. Some of them literally play computer games only in their spare time. I decided I want to have kids and so I have a family now, and I can tell you having even just 1 kid is expensive enough. Me and my wife we both work full time, only to have enough spare money at the end of the month to put aside, just so we can believe this money will be worth something in 30 years or so (I don't believe it). And we are not living an extraordinary/luxury life. I'm not materialistic, and I only care about money because I need it to keep me and my family alive. Germany is quite expensive in that regard compared to the average salary.
