It really is impressive. I remember having a discussion with my neighbor about how Clinton was a rich elitist and Trump is a down to earth regular person. I told him they are probably both rich elitists that would never to talk to either of us but he totally hung on to the idea that Trump is a regular guy. I don't know how they pull this off. It was the same with Bush.
Excellent analysis, but I think you've missed one key point, relative income effect. It isn't just a willingness to burn things down in the face of stagnating wages in order to increase wages at the bottom, but is also latent knowledge that by burning things down that the wealthy need, the income gap may shrink, which would make lower income earners happier [0] due to relative income effect.

[0]: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4041613/

"We can now answer the question posed by the article’s title: Yes, your neighbor’s income does affect your happiness, but the income of your proximate neighbor has a different effect on your happiness than the income of your more distant neighbor does. Americans tend to be happiest when they live in a high-income neighborhood in a low-income region. In other words, the effect of residential income on individual happiness reverses from positive to negative with increasing geographic scale—a phenomenon we might call the geographic scale principle of income effects (Lee et al. [2008] argue, along the same vein, that the effect of residential segregation can vary by geographic scale)."

In the US, Dun & Bradstreet [1] is a company that attempts to provide a sort of "credit report" for both public and private companies of all sizes. Companies are required to have a DUNS number to do business with the government and it can act as a sort of unique ID.

However, like other credit agencies, it isn't infallible and is only as good as the information it is able to gather through information sharing agreements. They have also branched into the "Improve/Monitor your D&B score" business which is pretty shady. [2]

[Edit: We also have vendors require references if we are looking to establish a line of credit. We also provide references saying how much credit they have and how often they pay on time. It is a manual process.]

TL;DR: they just invented internet forum/message board but with nicer GUI.

And it's good.

I think internet went wrong way to ditch traditional internet forums/discussion groups/ and internet communication started to be based on real time chats (Slack, Messenger, Skype etc.), but I'm glad that we're returning to the oldschool (I'm waiting for Facebook to introduce "threads/topics" on its groups, because now Facebook groups are less functional than plain old phpBB.

Yup...I sold an iPod on eBay years ago, and the person I sold it to claimed that I only sent him cables and a rock, so eBay gave him all of his money back and he got to keep my iPod. Never used eBay since.
I suspect the author of a successful novel hopes for some form of regulation to help guarantee revenue from the effort.
The incompleteness of inductive reasoning is exemplified with The Turkey Problem: All year, day after day, the farmer feeds the turkey. The turkey concludes that the farmer is benign. The day before Thanksgiving, the farmer kills the turkey.

The event that the turkey cares the most about, his death, is not in the set of evidence that he uses to make his conclusions about the state of the system. Therefore he is unprepared to handle the outcomes of the system he lives in.

The political establishment had the ability to sense the effect of policy. They chose to be ignorant to it or not address it. This is not an example of Turkey Problem or Black Swan, it's more of a Ostrich Problem.
> "Chris just wasn't the right fit for Tesla, and we've decided to make a change," Tesla said Tuesday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

I wonder what "wasn't the right fit" meant for Chris' scenario. Did he walk away or was he let go because of team or company dynamics? Or was he not the right fit for the job? It'll be interesting as it can provide insight in company culture of Tesla vs. Apple.

While I like D and use it for scientific work, wwo "omissions" leave me a bitter taste. Nothrow and Pure are not part of the type signature of functions and consequently the compiler has limited inference about these. However I will keep using it unless something better comes up. C++/C# are not an option for me since I found D.
You can't really compare the ATmega328 and the VIC-20 accurately, mainly because the former is (arguably) a Harvard Architecture device.

For the most part, the cpu in the 328 doesn't have general read-write access to the 32k flash memory (used for program storage), outside of some basic functionality mainly limited to bootloader usage (at a machine code level, and IIRC only for the first block of memory), and read-only capability otherwise (so you can store data prior to loading it into flash to be read later by the code).

The 2k static RAM (SRAM) is read-write always and anywhere, anytime - and so it used mainly for variable storage. There's also a small amount of general purpose flash memory available, which is also read-write capable (but has a limited lifespan just like any flash memory - though from testing, in general you won't reach the lifespan unless you do something really stupid) that is typically used to store configuration settings and whatnot between reboots.

Whereas on the VIC-20, the CPU had complete access to all of the RAM and ROM, and full control over the address and data lines of the bus.

Each architecture has its pluses and minuses, but in general the Harvard scheme is used when you don't want the code to be able to alter itself (either intentionally or accidentally due to a buffer overrun or something), which might cause a problem that could have consequences; for an embedded microcontroller, this makes sense, as you just want the thing to run continuously and reliably on every reboot or restart, without worry that the code will corrupt itself and lead to problems.

Ask HN: Advice on Southern tech cities
I'm looking for advice on Southern cities for tech jobs. How accurate is my assessment of the below cities, and are there any good Southern tech cities I missed? I would ideally like to be in an area where I can work on emerging technologies: blockchain, AI, cloud architecture. Other considerations: commute time, number of available jobs. I'm currently a Product Manager at a software company in Seattle. My wife is unhappy here, so I'm looking to move to the South and we are considering a few cities:
Austin Tx: Currently #1 on our list, strong tech scene, good quality of life. Houses are a little pricey.
Raleigh NC: Currently #2 on our list, strong tech scene, good quality of life, tech companies seem to be more spread out than Austin, making it harder to buy a house and guarantee a short commute.
Houston Tx: Cheaper houses, more jobs, but it seems more "corporate" than Austin. Also longer commutes.
Atlanta GA: Similar to Houston, corporate jobs, long commutes.
That's interesting. I'm completely ignorant of these things, thank you.

So it seems GitLab in this case has a strong deterrent to just copy their competitors' UI. Kind of gives me more sympathy towards GitLab because it's really hard to deviate from something that has been kind of a standard look for a code collaboration website.
Will echo others regarding China imports, but one last hope to bring me back to their marketplace is a revamp of the review system.

After spending thousands of dollars on furniture, waiting a month for the guy to make it, and another two weeks to ship, I had maybe a few days to leave a review for something I spent a lot of money on. With this policy, reviews are for first impressions only. And I won't be coming back.

Maybe it's in place to prevent review extortion, but a time limit (especially for goods made on demand) isn't the way to do it.
This kind of comment is not acceptable here.
Having a deer or hog in the freezer can make a significant difference in stability for people living paycheck to paycheck. What a household spends on meat in a month is probably in the same ballpark as a lower tier internet plan.

"Why Tipping Should Be Banned", by Adam Ruins Everything is worth watching if you are of the school of thought that tipping is bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_vivC7c_1k

The gist of the video is that if you're tipping, then a waiter/waitress for example is not being paid enough, and tips are deliberately designed to bolster their unfair income.

I'm not asking for anything. You were asking something and I tried to offer an explanation.

> Finding resources online is not incredibly easy. I remember that I very much needed a teacher/class in my early high school years to get started to learn to code because trying to google things often led down very disorganized resources.

"Initiative" in this case can also take the form of "Hey I'm trying to learn to know how to program but can't find good resources, know any?"

Rather than "Hey man can I have a few bucks? Yeah sure I'll learn to code for it."
The first round of layoffs included the CEO and the CTO, both men. Anecdotally (as someone who received a job offer right before the layoffs, and asked around about what it affected) I heard that round included a lot of middle management; at the least they laid off my manager-to-be and his manager, both men, and did not lay off any individual contributors on the team I was interviewing for, which was roughly gender-balanced. I have no information about today's layoffs.

I would personally argue that it's a lot more common of a luxury to promote okay-but-not-great men into management instead of letting them go, and a company motivated by capitalist concerns should focus more on eliminating those sinecures than eliminating bootcamp grads, who often can't command a high salary anyway. But then again, Etsy did cancel their entire summer internship program with two weeks' notice, which can't have saved them much money at all, so I'm not sure how responsible/rational they're being in their capitalist motivations.

Right. But the supervised release was part of "your time" to use the OP's term.

I'm not arguing that this is fair, or right, or the best we can do. I'm arguing that its not a case where these specific items are tacked on "after" your time is served. The other things he mentions (loss of voter rights, loss of housing rights, etc) truly are permanent punishments.
It's not a matter of having more or less foreign intercourse. It's what is the guiding policy behind those policy decisions?

That article seems to be very carefully worded to imply that the navigation system was involved in the accident, without coming out and saying so.

> A woman following her car's sat nav on a foggy night took a wrong turn and ended up driving into a lake. [...] she lost her way and drove down a steep boat launch into Lake Huron. [...] Local police said the way the harbour’s boat launch is built means a wrong turn taken on a rainy night would come as a shock.

That is to say, when she drove into the lake it seems to have been because she wasn't following the directions, and this, combined with the fog and a confusing design for the boat launch, caused her to not realize that she wasn't on a regular road (albeit the wrong one) until it disappeared out from under her.

The article then concludes with some statistics about GPS causing distracted driving, without either connecting them back to the news item at hand or comparing them to distracted driving caused by non-electronic navigation.

My guess, which I have no evidence for, is that Tesla likes to move fast (autonomous vehicle by end of '17) and at Apple he had a lot more time to focus on projects like Swift for longer periods of time.
How I Built This: Origin Stories for the World's best known companies and brands
I am on a devops team trying to implement lambda by splitting pieces off from a monolithic Java app where applicable.

The biggest pain point I have is because we have multiple "environments" (such as dev, da, staging) in the same amazon account and because lambdas are global I can't limit access to resources via IAM easily without hacks.

Aka, because the same lambda will be used (but different versions and/or aliases) on all environments I can't marry the code and configuration to limit access to say RDS or elasticache or an S3 bucket per lambda.

I feel like I need a higher order primitive (a lambda group that is role + configuration can live in that includes the lambdas) to achieve this. I realize api gateway has the concepts of stages but currently the idea is for some lambdas to be invoked directly by the monolithic app or via SNS/SQS async.

Otherwise I could namespace my lambda functions which is hacky and make DevFooBar, StageFooBar, etc.

Currently we plan to split off our environments into separate AWS accounts.
Rumor has it that the culture at Tesla is worse than at Apple - more pressure, more bullies to please etc etc.
The first computer that I remember in my family was a PC Jr with either 64 or 128KB of memory. We had some variant of the Apple II at school in the computer lab (I'd guess the Apple IIe, with 64-1MB of RAM). I remember in the early 90s having a PC, with the memory going up through the single megabyte range, then into the 10s as we upgraded. Maybe 8MB in 1993 and 32MB by 1997? My parents gave me my own computer in 1999 with 96MB of RAM. I think I upgraded it to either 256 or 512MB around 2002 or 2003.

Disk storage grew along with it. Hundreds of KB with the earliest machines I used (on floppies and cartridges), hundreds of MB in the 90s (and like 1.1GB when Dad added a second hard drive to that machine!!), 6.4GB in my own first one, and so on.

It's amusing to think of my son saying things like "I've used a computer with only 4GB of RAM!" when he's older.

Copyright is the much larger "danger to culture". We invented it to try to keep artistic recompense safe, but like most idealistic propositions, the sharks have moved in and gamed it and now we are all worse off. Allowing anyone to make any type of contribution without fear of a crackdown from Big Legal leads to a much more prosperous culture.

This is already becoming reality as the internet has made traditional copyright completely unenforceable on the general population. For example, Adobe no longer sells Photoshop as a standalone unit, but as an ongoing subscription, which gives the impression that the vendor is an active participant in usage.

Yes. This is economically rational, as Alan Greenspan pointed out in 1983:

> ... the senior staff, including Miss Eickhoff, Judith Mackey and Lucille Wu, is mostly female. Mr. Greenspan explains the gender bias with the free-market pragmatism that has become his hallmark: "I always valued men and women equally, and I found that because others did not, good women economists were cheaper than men. Hiring women does two things: It gives us better quality work for less money, and it raises the market value of women."

Sure didn't feel lucky when I was a troubled youth who failed most of his classes in high school and floundered around in college, ultimately not graduating.

I'll add to your last point with:

Email never interrupts me. I have all audible and popup notifications turned off and generally check if I have new email only when it suits me. I make this super fast and simple by checking if my email icon on my phone has a little red number. Takes two seconds. If I have email, I can read them, if I don't, great.

Like you, I use filters and labels to keep my inbox clean. Automated emails and mailing lists get filtered away right away (and I check them manually when I feel like it). My inbox itself then takes a few seconds to clean leaving only stuff I have to act on. I use the Spark mail client which is very similar to google inbox in that I can quickly deal wia h messages or "snooze" those I can't deal with right now.

This way, I have zero unread messages in my inbox most of the time. (And I get OCD when I see other peopl ea phones or screenshots with 30k unread messages... wtf is wrong with people!)
