Sure. At the bottom of it, it's subsidized by the relative inexpense of oil, and how much we can do with that energy.

Never before have there been people watching the analytics and in real-time figuring out how to make their stuff more addictive.

I am also down with pointing out that the world has changed less than people think and do it quite often myself, but on the other hand, there are some real differences between mobile games and television, or even console games of the past. I do not keep my kids entirely off the tablets, but I do, without them really realizing it, keep them well away from the Skinner boxes. I'd rather just pay to buy something.

When they are older, I will have a discussion with them about this. But discussing how they work and why they are dangerous and why you need to stay away from them requires multiple concepts a 6-year-old is not yet able to deal with. (Children are not just little adults.)
Understand and utilize functions in your scripts.

If there is one thing I wish I had understood sooner, that would be it.

Thank you for your example, that's interesting! I guess the story can also be interpreted the other way around:

Employers were only willing to hire black people because they were worked for lower wages, because they exactly knew that their labour was being considered less worth that that of white people?
So introducing the minimum wage just made the racism obivous and I'm sure problems would also have arisen if the minimum wage had never been introduced and the black minority would have been forced to slave away on minimal incomes their whole life.
A lot of my girlfriend's friends work at or near minimum wage because they just need any job and the fact that there is a minimum wage seems to save them from complete poverty (and it's not like they are trying to start a family or anything yet). I think that there is a optimal minumum wage (15$ seems too high for me) but it's hard for me to argue against it completely having seen the good it has done for people and how impossible it would be to live below it. I guess I would feel differently if I had met a lot of people who had not been able to get jobs because of the minimum wage but at least for me I've yet to meet someone in that situation.
Gold has a lot of practical uses.
Also, the unemployment rate does not count individuals who have dropped out of the labor force completely, which displaced low skill workers are especially likely to do.

If there are labor participation rate statistics available (probably not yet), you'd see the drop there.
Thank you so much Marten for your direct response!

I'm sorry if my post came out as at all harsh. I respect what you guys are doing. I just had those honest reactions to the communication I got.

Maybe putting some general pointers on getting started in emails like this for really small companies would come across as a bit less threatening? That way, you can be the guide early on, then we can become partners later when we have the scale.

Good luck with your build!
That's right. It is basically a flag on the account, which ends up as a notification at the POS system. So you get this hilarious crap with a U.S. card outside the U.S. where you're still signing shit, because the POS system tells them you have to sign. I lost count of the various reactions when traveling outside the U.S.:

- Why is it printing extra receipts? Oh... you have to sign one of these.

- Hold on, let me go find a pen for you to sign.

- Asks coworker what this message means. Oh he has to sign, must be an American.

And get this shit. My debit card in the U.S.? I always use a PIN for it everywhere. But when I travel outside the U.S. that same goddamn card requires a signature every damn time.

It's really fucking stupid, there's no nice way to put it.
"The Library has the entire Net 18 address space registered at many hundreds of publishers of licensed e-resources. With no prior notice, we have been forced into non-compliance with our licenses with every such provider."
I wonder what if the publishers actually sued MIT and Amazon, with maybe a injunction preventing Amazon from using the space.
> It blows the most in the dead of night, precisely when there’s the least demand for electricity. That’s true for just about every wind-blown spot across the U.S., from the foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains in California to the coastal plains of North Carolina.

I live in Northern California (SF). Winds don't start until about 1pm or so. And it's almost never windy after 8pm.

I think this pattern holds for most coastal places, because as the sun reaches the peak, it heats up land, forcing the air over the land to rise; but the water doesn't heat up as much, and hence winds come in from offshore, to replace the air rising above the land.
It's interesting. What browsers do people use on this machines? Though according to wikipedia most popular browser is Chrome:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

but it seems weird, because Chrome is such a memory monster (it usually takes almost all RAM memory you have on your machine and additionally disk space if you are running of RAM). I have 16GB ram and Chrome takes me 10GB of it and ~1GB of disk space.
Younger. More eager for the position? I doubt it. In fact I have moved on again and again, like so many here. You are speaking directly to discrimination that is illegal in the United States. We have a formal complaint process. I've never filed one. I have had a clear opportunity many many times. I'm sure many of us here have. We may need to start organizing. We may need to start filing these with enthusiasm and pride. This is how other discrimination battles are fought. People are kept silent on this one for fear of never working again. Perhaps it is time to stand up.
Chrome extensions served from it's web store are analyzed by Google.

Analyzed how? As far as I know, many have malware in them:

http://lifehacker.com/many-browser-extensions-have-become-ad...

https://kjaer.io/extension-malware/

Firefox and Opera extensions are code
reviewed before they go into their stores.

That approach might be better. I wouldn't trust them to find everything all the time though. An extension only has to somehow hide a "load external code and execute it" function to get around it. That could be just one line of code. And it might be obfuscated and spread throughout the codebase in clever ways.

Ask HN: Which companies don't ask whiteboard questions?
I'm trying to set up a list of companies that don't ask whiteboard questions during a technical interview. More like a coding assignment or design questions, etc. In other words, a company that values work experience over academic stuff during the interview process for a Senior Software Engineer.

Thanks!
Whether they deserve or it or not doesn't change whether the market will support it. Some people making 10 dollars an hour might get a raise to 13, but some might just get fired. So law decides that someone whose labor is only worth 10 dollars to the market is better off banned from working.
A surprising number of entrepreneurs and developers are unfamiliar with the application of state machines to business logic workflows, so it's useful to see the topic presented in a succinct way. Good learning content tends to get upvoted on HN, especially when the discussion around the concept (for example, the discussion of State Machines and state machine libraries in this thread) is interesting as well.
This uses libsodium to encrypt or sign HTTP message bodies. It works either client-side or server-side, on requests or responses.

Features:

- Symmetric-key
- Encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305)
- Authentication (HMAC-SHA512-256)
- Public-key
- Sealing (X25519 + BLAKE2b + XChaCha20-Poly1305)
- Signing (Ed25519)

If libsodium is not available (it currently has to be installed via PECL), sodium_compat will polyfill these features.

It works on PSR-7 interfaces, but for framework-specific adoption, we've created a few Sapient adapters and creating your own is relatively straightforward.

Uh, if they raise prices, you're effectively taxing ALL customers. That's why consumption based taxes are worse for the mid to low wealth consumer, a greater share of their income is spent on consumption.
You'd have to find out which products the rich customers are buying exclusively and increase the prices on those.
>If someone says 'my labor isn't worth 15$

But that's what I think is good about it!: It sets a baseline for what human labour is worth. Nobody has to say how much (or rather how little) his or her labour is worth. If an employer thinks someone should earn less than that - fully knowing that this wage will never enable this other person to get on in life - than she'd rather not employ anyone.
This sounds fantastic; best of luck to you!
Minimums weren't imposed help people to meet basic needs. They were imposed to keep Chinese immigrants from participating in the labor market.

Failfish still failing. ;-)
I'd just say that it's not settled whether sharp or nationwide increases in the minimum wage accomplish any clear public policy objectives. I could be convinced either way, but my perception is that it's not at all clear in the data that "$15 nationwide minimum wage" is a fight worth fighting.

I definitely don't oppose the minimum wage! There's no libertarianism creeping into my perspective here. :)

I learn best by doing. I imagine how something might work (I am usually wrong!), and try building it. When I discover that I need to learn something, I try to communicate what I'm trying to build, why I am trying to build it, and where I got stuck. Then I ask around a bit (StackOverflow, Quora, Reddit, coworkers) to see if someone has insight how I might succeed. The depth and quality of answers I receive hint at the quality of my question, or the familiarity others have with the problem I am solving.

If I get no answers, I usually grind away at the problem until I lose interest, can ask a better question, or make enough progress that I can answer my own question.

Useful answers include offering:

- a suggestion to use alternative solution with acceptable trade-offs

- a different approach to how I solve my problem

- a specific answer to the question I asked

- to collaborate with me in finding a solution

- a supportive comment (the cutting edge can be lonely!)

- understanding about a trade-off or consequence of how I am approaching the problem

- a suggestion on improving the quality of the question

- a referral to someone who knows the answer
Although the question wasn't directed towards me, my problem with raising the minimum wage is that everyone else's wages (for the most part) have been stagnant while inflation continues. It basically pulls the rest of the middle class down while the upper class continues to go higher. Sure, some of the wages will trickle up because of competition, but not by as much as it should. I can't think of any better solutions though unfortunately
Sorry, but you're wrong.

You're not reading a book five times, cover to cover. That's not a productive use of your time. Instead, you should breeze through the table of contents. Skim the first chapter. Still interested? Skip to the last chapter and read that. Jump around to the parts that interest you. Read through it again with a broad outline of what you're reading. Encounter a boring section? Skip ahead by twenty pages or drop the book altogether.

This is the best strategy for reading books for knowledge, and not just to say you've read a certain book.

Just because you don't feel comfortable writing long scripts doesn't mean you should discourage others.

There are many many justifications for sticking to shell, for example if you need to write a portable installer that works across every UNIX variation.
I can't believe that no one else commenting here is picking up on this. It's not about "tight code" or "fast code" - it's about CPU utilization and battery usage.

This line of thinking leads to allowing people to sell themselves into slavery. Do we need to solve homelessness? Absolutely. We do not do this by propping up businesses and properties that rely on below livable wages.

I can buy some level of slippery slope at play here. But, by and large, this frames it in a way that allows sub-livable wages.

So, you can think my "side" is framing this in a way to justify it. This does little more than convince me your "side" is just trying to justify keeping ill earned wealth.

Deprecation can serve three purposes:

1. to get people away from a bad practice;

2. to enable rearchitecture or refactoring that can't take place with a function of the old style "in the way"; and

3. to reduce maintenance burden.

Indefinite deprecation without removal helps with #1, but doesn't aid either #2 and #3—and without those additional benefits, usually there's no point: if you're going to be maintaining the function in perpetuity anyway, and won't be able to change the framework out from under the function, then people may as well keep using the function.

Keep in mind, also, that "deprecation" can't do much to control Windows developers; they make full and willing use of even private APIs, raw writes to private registry keys, etc. whenever they find them. Microsoft tries to keep compatibility even with these programs. With such developers around, deprecating a feature doesn't change much; as long as it's there, and calling it works, people will continue shipping code that calls it despite the warnings. They'll even write new code that calls it.

And a third argument: sometimes Microsoft deprecates a particular API for accessing some functionality, and doesn't go on to provide any alternative API for that functionality. And this isn't a case where they're saying "you just shouldn't be trying to do that any more"; these are cases where there is MSDN documentation that tells you how to idiomatically do something... by using a deprecated function. This taints the "reliability" of deprecation as a useful signal for Windows developers.

Those three effects together mean that Microsoft mostly just doesn't bother. Instead of trying to evolve APIs at all by deprecating old features and then refactoring the API surface once the old functions are "out of the way", Microsoft simply write entirely new APIs, leaving the old APIs in place. The old DLL is still there, and still maintained. It might sometimes have been hollowed out into a shim wrapper that calls into the new API... but it's very unlikely, because that destroys "bug for bug" compatibility.
At somepoint does it become a national security concern? Could a large nation-state buy a controlling interest in a company like Amazon? And effectively use it against the US?
"Nintendo needs to do X or people will line up for hours for a chance to get this product, creating media hype"

I usually focus on one goal at a time and dedicate all the time I have available to it.

The key is that I must have something I want to accomplish as a reason to learn something new. For instance, if I just decide to learn a new programming language, I will lose interest very quickly. But if I decide I wan't to create a new app, I can then use that same programming language for the job and I will consume every information I can in order to make it happen. Usually using google and youtube to find the resources. I start from the basic I need to start and go on from there.

I've used that method to learn new programming languages, surf fishing, technical analysis/investments in the stock market, grow plants, electronics, cooking, etc.

TLDR; focusing on a project makes it easier to learn as you need the information in order to make it happen
In mid-late April this year, I flew with Delta from Minneapolis to Tokyo Haneda and the flight was around 70% full in Economy - I was the only one in my row, and the row ahead was empty (by row I mean a set of three seats; I don't know the phrase for that).

The way back was pretty full though (middle of Golden Week for Japan). I must have been pretty lucky for the trip there!
Oh, I see, so, the poor people who work to live should be thankful that they can do their own childcare now that they've been comdemned to never be employed again because nobody wants to pay them $15/hour.

>Everyone working 40 hours per week deserves a living wage (...)

You can earn a living wage for 40 hours a week doing anything in the US. You just can't afford a new iPhone. All the minimum wage does is makes it impossible to employ low-skill workers. So while before the minimum wage you could make a living, now you either can't make a living or you're effectively in the lower middle class.

Ask your dad or granddad what they had to go through to get you to a position where you think 15$ an hour is merely a "living wage".
I was unaware of this statement, and I agree that it's to his credit to have said it. Personally I think he needs to keep saying it until he's righted the balance, but it's a start.
It'll be interesting to see the actual ROM they use.

IIRC, the ROMs floating around on the internet needed some binary patching to run correctly. If Nintendo uses the pirated version that generally exists on the internet like they did for the NES classic, you could argue that they don't own all the copyright to it.
Many years ago in a past life, I worked on the network security team at the University of Chicago. We had a similar policy (and they may still for all I know) of just being able to requisition publicly routable IPs and run whatever you wanted on them with no default firewall rules applied at the border. Not for nothing did we call this a "target rich environment".

For all of the cool things I got to do (troubleshoot a breakin at the South Pole, send the RIAA a DMCA takedown notice when they stole our content (absolutely the highlight of my career), etc.), we spent the vast majority of our time on nonsense. We processed dumb breakins by the hundreds, had to enforce DMCA takedowns, and the like.

I'm also all for innovation and giving people the freedom to deploy services and innovate, but I would have killed to deploy all IPs by default behind NAT/firewalls and work with researchers to help them understand their responsibilities before giving them public IPs.
And hosting websites is? I don't see the average student doing that either.

> we only have limited resources

I understand, but I'm still disappointed. You all only needed to come to a decision on how you wanted to proceed with supporting the newer libraries required and I would have taken it from there. I'm not sure if you guys have even now come to a decision on that.

And it took a month before someone mentioned they would prefer if the KDBX 4 functionality was separated (and I do agree that it should be).

You could probably merge a similarly-sized patch into the kernel in less time...

Bash is unbeatable as a functional concept for chaining command-line tools together. Once you start getting functions or even a lot of if/while constructs, it's usually time to switch to Python/Perl.
