Speaking for German prices, because it eventually adds up, specially taking into consideration that to be on the safe side it is better to have full coverage insurance.

With own car one pays insurance once, while renting the insurance gets payed every single time it gets rented.

Not going full coverage is an open game as they will charge for any little new scratch the car might get, no matter how tiny.

Meanwhile, I have been in countries where the only thing that matters is that the car is returned in one piece still.
maybe i'm addicted to something I shouldn't be, but I much much much prefer laptop/keyboard/screen setup to external monitor/keyboard setup.

I use an external monitor from time to time, but I'm too mobile to have that be a "default". With the laptop setup, I have consistent experience wherever I'm at.

That said, I'm typically reclining (feet up on desk, leaning back, sitting in easy chair, etc) for most of my laptop time, and perhaps the experience is different from just have it on a desk most of the time?

Hello,
Hope you are doing well!
My name is Irina and I work for Team Extension, a nearshoring and offshoring technology company based in Bucharest. Just to make it clear, we are not a recruiting company and have dedicated resources on company location.
I am contacting you about your recent post from news.ycombinator.com site. You are looking for a Frontend developer. It looks like a great opportunity as we have Frontend developers available. Will you be interested to discuss this over a short conference call on June 14th at 17:00 EET or June 17th at 18:00 EET.
Looking forward to hearing from you and have a nice day!
Oh, yeah, now that you mention it I have seen the SEXP and protect / unprotect stuff before. Maybe a hybrid approach of porting some of the core stuff / popular libraries to Racket's FFI would be more ideal if one were to do this for real.

Maybe aiming for "mostly compatible, with some porting work for a handful of the more popular non-R (C, Rcpp) packages would yield a better result in the end.

Amazon's non-compete is overly broad and sweeping, and arguably stops anyone from going to a company that even uses cloud technologies. It's written in a way that allows the court to decide just how far it can actually be applied.

As you'll notice from the article, Amazon seems to try to enforce the non-compete every few years, I'm guessing mostly as a message to existing Amazon employees. All I've every seen it do is piss off their employees.

That said, it's totally possible to leave Amazon and move on to an actual competitor. You just have to get lawyers involved. Oracle's Bare Metal Cloud org, that I work for, is made up of roughly 75% ex-aws staff (Amazon has been hemorrhaging staff to Oracle because better pay, and way better working conditions)
Lawyers on both sides end up negotiating back and forth and you just end up not working on anything related to what you were working on for AWS.

I'm not sure meritocracy is a good thing. I'd much rather have mercy as the foundational theory of democratic social organization because it's just too easy for people to make what should not be unrecoverable mistakes. I don't doubt that you worked very hard to get where you are today. I too grew up lower middle class and worked hard to get where I am today, but I also made many, many mistakes along the way. Good luck combined with privilege mitigated what could have been significant detriments to my future career (including access to funding for school, interactions with law enforcement, etc.) Should we, as a society, ignore individual potential in favor of past performance, as implied by the term "meritocracy"? I think that's a rather blinkered view, preferring something much more egalitarian based on my own life experience.
To some extent, yes on all counts.

> As an employee I'd factor in the commute when making decisions about a job.

Meaning you make concessions to either where you live or where you work. Isn't that a sign that it's not completely your choice? If all jobs could be done from home you would have all choices of housing available.

> do you view the clothes that someone (only) wears to a traditional in-person office as rightfully the responsibility of the employer? Lunch?

Same reasoning here: The only way you're not making concessions is if you happen to like the clothes that fit within the dress code of the company (if any).

And as for lunch, I've done IF for a few years (stopped a while back), and it's really difficult if you don't tailor it around work when it comes to work lunches, fitting meetings, available restaurants around work if you don't bring your own lunch, etc.

I don't have much problems with either of it, as I've accepted it as status quo, but it's obviously not a free choice.

I would like to see the costs of the drivers vs the insurance and yearly settlement costs for the company.
Based on the numbers from the TFL for example while the drivers do cost they don't make up the bulk of the workforce.

Very interesting paper. Two problems that jumped out at me are: 1) income is not COL-adjusted, and 2) more importantly, there is not a term in the regression for urbanization/population density.

It is well-known that urban areas lean Democratic, and richer states are more urban. Thus the phenomenon may be reflecting urbanization rather than state wealth.
Thanks. I perhaps should have said I don't have many folks on the $300k side of things to compare against the $30k folks. I do know people in the $30k area, and yeah... you're spot on. And... while a few I know are just sort of 'content'(?) where they're at, most I know are wanting to "get ahead" but seem stuck - family/kids, long work hours... it's not impossible to do more, but often physically... almost impossible. Go back to school and take more classes to hope to get a new degree in 2-3 years? With 3 little kids, two adults working 4 jobs, 1 car which breaks down a lot... yeah, it gets hard to see any easy way out of that.

I tell that scenario and get people saying "doesn't matter, get out there, make it happen!" and... yeah - we all know some success stories who succeeded against the odds, but... we all know someone like that because it's still fairly remarkable in the first place.

>Males almost never ever use this regardless of age, unless engaging in feminine play as parody, and it gets dropped among females cognizant of their perception as adult women retaining possession of responsibilities and authority.

I'm a heterosexual male in my mid-20s and many in my gender and age bracket say "kk" and "ooo" online as casual responses to things all the time - including myself. I wasn't aware we were teenaged girls. I don't think either word is inherently feminine, cutesy or immature; just very informal.

The thing I'd associate the most with younger American girls is frequent use of ellipses, often (but not always) with 1-2 less or more dots than is required. Like "k.." or "nice....". I think this is to some extent emulating the "high rising terminal" vocal pattern commonly associated with American women: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal#Implicati...

Can anyone recommend a US based bank (or a bank that accepts US customers) that 1) has either a 2FA token for phone e.g. with Google Authenticator, a hardware token, or some kind of other token based factor; and 2) has strong security when calling? I generally don't need a physical presence.

My current two banks don't have direct 2FA enabled. As far as I remember, the questions available to one of my banks (credit union) are simple enough that you could probably find out by doing a public info search somewhere, and the other bank (Chase) has SMS 2fa, but outside of that it's just public database questions (I know this because I had my card number stolen recently, I currently don't have access to my phone as I'm out of the country, and they asked me a few different questions from a public database, like if I had ever lived at ABC Dr., do you know this person, and what is the full name, etc.). I'd much rather be able to give the banks some kind of information that they are required to verify before they can access my account, like a verbal passphrase, but I don't think that's possible (as in, I wouldn't be able to access my account over the phone without the passphrase).
I'm not certain if you're trying to imply that people in the US shouldn't complain because they have it better than "kids born in Africa" or if you're implying that healthcare shouldn't be a basic human right for everyone, in the US or not.

If it's the former: Suffering isn't a contest, just because you aren't the MOST impoverished person on the face of the planet does not make your problems less real, nor does it make you less deserving of help when you do need it.

If it's the latter, I'm all for getting those kids healthcare (and food) and whatever else they might need. That's a damn sight better use of my tax dollars than numerous Government programs currently sucking up actual trillions of dollars here in the States.

Can you get more concrete on why you would want to mix formats? So far what I have seen namespaces were used just to extend one format.

Easily avoided if you just extend one format, but can happen if you would want to mix existing formats because of some reason.

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

You still need some code that parses the non-RSS part anyway, which can validate it.
Don't you usually have just one parser that parses RSS and the non-RSS at the same time?
If not, how are you passing your non-RSS XML tree-parts from the RSS-only library to the "new stuff"?

I popped in $300k/year into an online calculator and it suggested that would leave you with ~118k/year. Minus the ~26k/year you'd have on $30k (both household married income) is 92190

So, if you lived as a $30k/year household you'd be able to save 3.5 years worth of expenses every year, ignoring any kind of tax efficient ways of doing so. In your first pay packet you'd have a spare seven and a half thousand dollars.

At a 3% withdrawal rate you'd want to have $860k in investments, meaning you could expect to work for ~8-9 years then retire forever. Less if you can invest in a more tax efficient way, are OK with just cutting down to part time or taking on a bit more risk. Oh, and if you're comparing yourself to a $30k household that can afford to save anything, all these numbers just go up and up.

So, comparing a $30k/year household who are able to save literally nothing, you could have the same life but only have to work for less than ten years rather than 40+.

Quick numbers, but I'd be surprised if the various simplifications change the overall result particularly drastically.
I can confirm. I work with some Danes, one of whom bought a Tesla under this regime. There was a mad scramble to purchase Teslas before Q1 2017, which also shifts the numbers even more as people who weren't planning to buy before 2017 were incentivized to do so.

As I said: 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.

The top 19% do not trust government because for the last 40 years government has been hijacked and made to work against the people.

Dividing the world into the 1% who "own" and the 99% who must sell their labor is useful on one level, but obscurantist on another.

The question is not one of abstractions, but of political realities. What exactly has this so-called "solidarity of the precariat" wrought? The author's point is precisely that the upper-middle class actively work against the interests of the 80%. Do you disagree that 30k/yr private schools, Ivy League legacies, and these suburban enclaves are also "an attack on the solidarity of the precariat"? Only that the 80% only have their words and their votes, whereas the 20% have real political power?

Show HN: MockREST – Create REST APIs from Your JSON Content
>Here is what makes me in a $300k a year household and the $30k household on the other end of town the same:

You and the $30k household are both in the global 1%. Over 80% of the world's population lives on less than $10/day. Both of you have social safety nets for food, housing, and healthcare. You live better lives than virtually everyone in the history of the planet has ever lived. That's what makes you the same.

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

Capitalism with relatively free trade is the only mechanism in the history of the world to be able to pull massive numbers of people out of grinding poverty. Socialism has tended to result in the opposite outcome. If you need a refresher course, watch Venezuela unfold right now in real time.
Hi HN, I'm a teacher in a local university, and in one of my courses (Service's-Oriented Mobile Development) I need the students to access a CRUD API. Since some of them are not attending my other course (Backend development), and the project is "open" (they can implement a CRUD mobile app for any domain), I've built MockREST to allow them to mock APIs to their wishes.

So, for a JSON like this:

{
"person": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "John Smith",
"age": 22
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 23
}
],
"post": [
{
"id": 1,
"title": "Hello World",
"format": "text"
},
{
"id": 2,
"title": "Goodbye Cruel World",
"format": "text"
}
]
}

It will allow you to access /api/person (/api/person/<id>/) and /api/post. You can use all HTTP verbs such as GET/POST/PUT and DELETE to change the information, and then access the modified json in the api backend.

I've polished it a little bit, and I'm trying to see if there is a larger interest in this. If all goes well, I may add "pro" features such as longer sessions (the API tokens only last 24h for now), password protection, etc.

Hope you like it, let me know if you find any errors, or have comments or suggestions! Thanks!

The problem is when we were totally and completely free within a few decades the entire means of production was owned by a few insanely large companies, and due to the relative laxness of their regulations, they operated with near total impunity. It was only after the uprising of labor and organization into unions that the real "golden age" of America arrived for someone besides the ultra-rich. Since then the media narratives and corporate propaganda have steadily demonized all collective bargaining entities, brought forth the scourge of the "gig economy" where businesses get to have multitudes of low-skill workers competing for a small fixed pool of work, all of whom jump at the chance to earn $20 because they'll starve otherwise, and carry none of the expenses of real employees (those annoyances like "a living wage" and "healthcare" and "retirement savings."

And that's just the actual jobs, with automation eating more jobs ever faster, fewer workers are now producing more than ever meaning there are fewer salaries doled out and even less money making it away from the wealthy.

Communism did fail, but I think it arrived too early. I really think there's some merit to the idea that once the machines have eaten all the jobs, and once we're free to our own time, that there's no reason to keep up the illusion that we must remain employed for seemingly little reason other than "that's the way it's always been done."

I would reserve judgment then, because I could not find information that proves your initial assertion.

It seems that the only information which is available is from large nearly national public transportation providers like the TFL, HK Transport Department etc.
TFL is a bus transit agency, its one of the largest bus operators in the world.

Looking at other companies like Arriva and NationalExpress which are large private bus operators again the drivers do not seem to be the bulk of their operating costs.
