> the rest of the essentials of life ain't cheap either.

Rent makes up between 1/2 and 2/3 of my monthly spending. Most "essentials" are actually pretty cheap in SV (gas maybe being the exception). Unless you have kids and need to pay for childcare; and that's also a function of the high housing prices because the workers there need to pay rent also.
> Medicaid options vary much more (and they're different in every state, because Medicaid is administered at the state level), but the equivalent private plans for Medicaid coverage also typically perform much better than the public ones.

I'd be interested to see these findings. Do you have links?

As far as Medicare Advantage is concerned, it's not the least bit surprising that patient satisfaction is higher. But I wouldn't go treating that as some kind of referendum on Government-run healthcare:

"Many private [Medicare] plans require no additional monthly premiums, yet the government pays an average of $849.90 in monthly subsidies to insurance companies for a person on Medicare Advantage, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. That is about 14 percent more than the government spends on people with standard Medicare, according to the nonpartisan Medicare Payment Advisory Commission."

MA was supposed to demonstrate that private insurers could deliver care at lower costs than Medicare, and it hasn't done that. Basically, for every $1.00 the gov spends on a medicare patient, it pays $1.14 in subsidies for an MA patient, with the evidence indicating a lot of that goes straight into the pockets of insurers as profit [2]

Wifi password cracking is only around 1000X slower than a SHA256 brute-force if I remember right. So your password needs to be secure enough that if a hash of it was leaked it would never be cracked.... So very strong.

WPA enterprise using certificates is usually much harder to crack since you need to interrogate server, you can't just brute force hash. This method only really applies to PSK mode (home networks and small businesses usually)
I would be interested ... but want to see it first :)
Dear NYT, Spokane is not rural. It may not be the metropolis you're accustomed to, but rural it is not.
It was a problem before ACA; it's a problem now. The law didn't really change that aspect of the system.
Yeah, which is why it is sometimes weirdly safer to not change your SSID - a cracker can assume that someone who figured out how to change the broadcast name could've also changed the WiFi password... often to something much less secure.
I don't think DC has enough space to put any stores there, aside from one of those gaudy souvenir-tents.

I keep hearing this, but I never see evidence of these people. Is there a widespread belief that there's a widespread belief that Macs are immune from malware, despite few people who actually think this?

Well, I'm sure such people exist, but there don't seem to be many, even on sites like macrumors and /r/apple where mostly non-technical people with magical feelings for Apple gather and comment.

I don't understand this. If I turn up at the hospital you're in and claim you are my (opposite sex) spouse (with the same surname), do the hospital staff demand to see a certificate of marriage registration and then perform a search to ensure there is no state issued marriage annulment?

If you consider your random keyspace with 26 * 2 chars + 10 numbers + 20ish special chars then to crack 10 letters you'll have to try an average of ((26 * 2 + 10 + 20) ^ 10) / 2 = 6.8724016e+18 keys. If you then assume around 3 million hashes per second it still takes around 72641 days to crack your password.

They are excluded from events because they are working not for Facebook, but a food service company that contracts for Facebook.

This may be technically true, but ultimately it's just window dressing. And for FB (and many other companies that play the same game with its more expendable workers), a convenient dodge in terms of both expenses and liabilities.

If you show up at Facebook's building every morning, work in their cafeteria, mop their floors and scrub their toilets -- then for all practical purposes, you're working for Facebook.

I've done contract programming, on site, for a blue collar heavy business. I didn't get invited to their functions either.

Let's please not try to compare the "plight" of contract tech workers to to the situation that bottom-tier contract service workers are in.

I concur about the corrosive effects of poverty, but it seems to me that you're ranking different circumstances in a one-dimensional utility calculus, and I'm arguing that many aspects of a long-term relationship are orthogonal to each other.

Marriage and family are contexts within which people are willing and/or liable to make life and death decisions which transcend fiscal considerations. The combination of a tax code and economic circumstances that (perhaps unintentionally) incentivize the breakup of families and the loss of rights for short-term economic reasons is not politically sustainable.
Thanks for your suggestions. The homepage is definitely the first item on my ToDo list!
None of those mentioned in the article (Microsoft, Amazon, Google) are working on chip development beyond the design phase.

I'll be brief: There's tons of low-hanging fruit in the semiconductor industry, starting with manufacturing.

You might read about how competition among chipmakers is fierce, and ask why any company from the Valley would make a foray into taking that kind of risk. The thing is, that's only true if you ignore the obvious; which is to say, take all the chipmakers and keep letting them do what they're doing, and sure, that line about competition will remain true.

But there's a world of difference between how things operate in a fab versus the environment that any software dev or executive will be used to. Things run at an efficiency that no engineer from the software world would tolerate for very long.

It's hard to say this without it seeming like bluster, but it's not, I promise: Any of the aforementioned Valley giants could buy up some chipmaker who's for sale, install one of their own executives at the top, and with a team of, like, six people (junior-level, even) from the same parent company, by the start of the fourth quarter following the buyout they would be virtually guaranteed to be on trajectory that would eventually destroy the competition.

You really, really have no idea how low this fruit hangs.

this is a unique situation. Customers can't shop around for the best price because there are laws in place that prevent insurance companies from offering plans that are sufficiently cost effective in such emergency room visits (and a host of other conditions as well). Otherwise, I'm sure someone would have recognized these problems and offered an insurance plan that protects you from this. Free-market can't do anything when it's hands are tied behind it's back.

That applies to any and all insurance - especially mandated insurance policies. The main job of the insurance company is to collect your premiums and the find any way to deny your claims.
That depends on jurisdiction, obviously.

I think it's legitimately a fascinating discussion point! Thank you for engaging me on it instead of freaking out. While we disagree, I do understand where you're coming from.

Again, the issue was not his "private religious views." The issue was when he used his power and influence to enforce those views on other people who did not subscribe to them. The line is crossed when one tries to enforce their personal beliefs on others via the government. It's not about politics--I think there are many things in politics about which reasonable people can disagree--it's specifically about enforcing a religious viewpoint on other people through the government. I don't force my religion on others; I think it's reasonable to demand that others do the same, and to enforce that demand through the means available to me, which may well include a boycott.

I suspect this is actually East Menlo Park, since the homeowners in Menlo Park proper are very unlikely to rent out a garage like this. East Menlo Park is substantially more affordable than Menlo Park, though at this point more costly than many East Bay areas.

Living in Hayward for example would make housing more affordable, but as you allude to, commute times would likely 4-5x (because bridges) and their kids' education would suffer due to school districts since they likely take advantage of the Tinsley Voluntary Transfer Program to attend schools in Menlo Park's school district (whereas Hayward schools are not good by any stretch of the imagination)

From my experience, things I used to submit 5-7 years ago got to the front page organically. Literally nothing I submit now gets to the front page, and you can see the wide variety of things in my profile, including SHOW HN, ASK HN, etc.

Here is an example SHOW HN that had all the elemnents you speak of but went nowhere: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13474714

Now one can say that they were just all things that shouldn't have hit the front page, but these days I really believe that you need to ask a few HNers to upvote something for it to hit the front page. I think it's a dirty little secret of reddit and HN. Perhaps it can be fixed with algorithms somehow, but I am not sure how.

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't read a lot of lawsuits by any stretch, but this actually makes Proper Media sounds like a bunch of assholes who are trying to seize control of a company they have no right to. Paragraph 5 itself states that "Bardav’s shareholders may not be companies" due to how they elected to incorporate. But this whole lawsuit centers around how "Proper Media" (the company, who can't in-and-of-itself own any portion of Bardav) is the one being wronged, because the actions taken weren't in their favor. They are effectively a vendor. They, as a company, are not the shareholders (even though the underlying people are shareholders in both companies).

They allege that Vincent Green conspired with Mikkelson, but they aren't pursuing legal action against him -- just against Mikkelson?

It sounds like they're just pissed that Snopes no longer wanted to use Proper Media as a vendor. And I can see why they would be. If I owned an office building, and also owned an office cleaning company, I'd want my cleaning company cleaning those offices. But if my tenants decide my cleaning company sucks, should I be able to evict them and take-over their business?

Again, IANAL. I'm probably making the complete wrong analogy and oversimplifying this. Who knows. This is just purely my personal take on something I have zero expertise in, based on a document I skimmed very quickly.

The counterargument to this is that Apple does not have a monopoly, or anything even close to it, even in the mobile device space. It's of course the most profitable company there, but its Android competitors sell far more phones than they do, even if you look only at the US. IMO, this basically means Apple's high fees are a "stupid tax" for Apple customers. If you don't like their policies or prices, don't buy an iPhone, it's that simple.

Of course, this might leave you single and lonely, since studies have shown that women are more likely to discriminate against potential suitors based on their choice of phone (if a man doesn't have an iPhone, or their iPhone is too old, the women isn't interested). But this can be a useful way of screening out superficial people who spend too much money and will end up spending you into bankruptcy if you marry them.

If you're going to be featured in an article highlighting your financial difficulty, move the $450 Dyson fan, 65" DLP TV, and overhead projector out of the frame. It begins to erode their footing and make you question their priorities.

I have friends that make much less than these folks. Some can barely make ends meet and sometimes I will help them with their personal finances. Which is when I usually discover why they can't make ends meet. $150/m cable bill, $100/m mobile bill, a car they can't afford, and constant meals out. They're usually living larger than me on 1/4 the income.

It's sad really, and I'd argue that it's probably not their fault. The level of entitlement we feel is out of control at all income levels.
One approach is that contracts can be associated with their hash. It is a bit silly for everyone to be writing the same smart contract over and over, with some versions being erroneous or malicious. So instead of having to run a potentially malicious contract, you are given a hash that points to one of a few different smart contracts that are known to be safe. The community has "white listed" a bunch of these known contracts and their hashes, so you are relatively safe using any contracts in these lists. Most miners in various cryptocurrencies will only run code that is on their communities version of the whitelist. Of course this only helps with some issues, not all.

*edit: and this is not ethereum specific. This approach was one way bitcoin tried to solve the problem and it has spread to most other cryptocurrencies I believe.
I had a FreeRunner that I used as a daily phone for a few months (until I got a TMobile G1). It most certainly could make phone calls. IIRC, I used a Qt-based environment that was basically a PDA + a dialer. It even had a webkit-based browser. I remember buying a Nokia wall charger so I could charge a second (and third) battery given that the OpenMoko consumed batteries quickly.

My most memorable moment with the FreeRunner was when I finally received my G1. The screen on the G1 was so much brighter, the phone itself was far more responsive, and it had EDGE data service (my area didn't have 3G). I never bothered fixing the usb port that I broke because the G1 was so much better.
