I think it's much more accurate to call it an installation platform/system, as the wrench is fairly incidental. The hardware is the innovation. Pretty cool overall.

> The other thing to do would have been to offer Android app compatibility.

After Nokia switched from Meego to Windows Phone with the Microsoft deal a group of Meego devs left and ceated the new company Jolla, where they developed the Sailfish OS as a branch of Meego.

Sailfish has a built-in Android emulator, it's a version of Alien Dalvik. I've actually found it quite good, although there's a slight input delay, it uses additional battery power since it's emulating the apps, and it's getting a bit out of date now (it supports a relatively old version of Android, although I think they're currently working on updating it to some extent).

That's just the problem, there isn't a "general consensus" on minimum wage among economists. There is a broad and varied body of research with a variety of contradictory conclusions. A brief overview of the state of the literature is handily summed up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/wiki/faq_minwage#wiki_emp...

The tl;dr from that section is nicely concise:

> The most comprehensive summary that can be made about the minimum wage literature is that while the evidence is sometimes contradictory, small minimum wage increases seem to either have no employment effects or at least quite small employment effects in the short run. Estimates of long-run impacts, or the impact of large minimum wage increases are presently unknown.

Seattle is notable because it was (I believe) the largest MW increase in US history. The research has broadly agreed that with large changes, we don't have evidence predicting what'll happen, which is why this study is of such critical political importance to both sides - if it shows that the MW is a net gain, then the MW proponents get to say "see? no large changes, $15 MW nationwide now!". If it shows a net loss, the MW opponents get to say "see? You can't go past the inflection point without moving backwards, put the brakes on this push".

Card/Kreuger was notable because it was the first robust result that contradicted the consensus at the time. The paper contributed substantially to our understanding of labor economics, and it would have been a major mistake to discount it because it conflicted with the widely-held beliefs at the time. To dismiss the UW study because it contradicts some contemporary research would be just as much a mistake.

To offer a counter point: I dislike the idea of "I write generic code". I say this because it is one of the prime calling-cards of the over-abstraction, which IMO is one of the biggest (and most harmful) self-inflicted injuries in programming right now.

Honestly, IMO, 9 times out of 10 the places that developers use templated-types in order to "write generic code", it is an over-abstraction. The generics end up adding nothing but source-code complexity. I often wonder if the only reason generics get used in some situations is because the standard lib uses them.

See my other comment about co/contravariance as monotonocity/antimonotonicity. Since monotonicity is just functoriality when your categories are posetal, covariance is a special case of functoriality.

More generally, you can see

f(x) = Int -> x
g(x) = x -> Int

as, respectively, co- and contra-variant endofunctors on the category whose objects are types and whose arrows are definable functions in your programming language. And they're both just special-cases of the internal hom functor,

hom : C^op * C -> C
hom(x,y) = x -> y

I'm a supporter of people earning a living wage. The problem with raising the minimum wage is that no matter what the minimum is it will never be enough. Nobody want's to earn minimum after you've worked at the same place for years and have someone new come in and earn the same on the first day on the job. Once minimum hits everyone wants a raise too and inflation picks up, eventually the problem returns. It's human nature. Additionally technology will be brought in to reduce costs by reducing jobs.

The fix is to give every one that needs it an income credit. Right now it's only possible through the federal income tax, but you need to qualify, but it should also be in the state income tax too and the qualifications should be income only. Let's say you worked 2080 hours for the year then for every hour you worked you should get some amount that will raise your income to some agreed on minimum.

This has the benefit of stopping the tit for tat raises.
Aah good to know. It wasn't clear from my read of your other comment
I'm 20 and I've never heard of Venmo outside of HN. To be fair, I am also in Australia, so it's more likely that it just hasn't caught on. The major bank here (CommBank) has made paying other people frictionless (you can send money to a phone number, via NFC, cardless cash, or just by regular transfer) so it's likely that Venmo wouldn't have much of a market here.
I'm as much of a curmudgeon when it comes to slacktivism as you can get. But damaging a companies online presence with negative reviews, ratings, posts on social media, blogs, and more, will live on. It will hurt the company quite a bit. In this case I think the online element is quite effective.

Also there seems to be some irl protesting going on as well, at least in this case.

I'm not aware of any academic economists who say "the MW is good/bad". They talk about it terms of positive and negative effects, and frequently qualified to a particular location or industry (read both UW studies, for example; the researchers generally tend to present their findings without editorialization). When it hits the media, it gets blown out into sensationalist headlines that apply broad-stroke good/bad filters to the concept as a whole without any of the subtlety or nuance of the original research.
The alternative is to get educated and get thinking about starting a real business instead of this part time addictive pitty of income... it's like saying to the addict it is his fault he is spending all his money on drugs...

For larger income Lyft/Uber drivers (probably those in SF/NYC), is it common to setup an S-Corp? Or you could setup an LLC with S-Corp accounting..

With such a low average earning, they could basically pay FICA on the first 20%, but take the rest as a dividend distribution and avoid those taxes. Would save them about an extra 18(?)% on taxes for the cost of a CPA & S-Corp filing (probably about $1800/yr).

EDIT: Looks like it would be fairly easy..

In the last week, Tensorflow hat 59 new issues files. That seems to be #1 among those on these lists by a large margin. Second place is electron with 29 (only a bit more than half as much). After that it's react and Atom with 10 each.

That seems to indicate that tensorflow is getting plenty of use.

Imagine tracking a "raw data sent vs raw data received" for every host your network talks to. What _should_ DNS look like?

Now imagine tunneling all your network traffic over that DNS server, independent of how you encode it, you still need to send the bits to and fro.

Authoritarian-in-chief Xi Jinping will be reelected for a second term during the Congress. Since various factions within the CCP are at war (with Xi having initiated very public takedowns that crossed a few lines), they don't want the slightest chance of a hint of uncontrolled rumors, and all media will be under increased lockdown.

Unlike GP I'm not sure the situation will improve all that much post-Congress, though.
It's because the fog regularly rolls over them on the peninsula, even during the summer. So there's a lot of moisture available for redwoods, undergrowth, etc.

BTW, it doesn't apply to the foothills, nor does it apply farther south (past Cupertino or so). So Rancho San Antonio is still brown in summer, ditto Lexington Reservoir, The Dish, San Jose foothills, etc. San Lorenzo valley is green year-round, though.

Mechanical turk
That's still a micro perspective; and besides, the farm is creating goods, rather than operating in a zero-sum manner, it is adding product to the system. Whereas the labour of individuals does not operate in this manner, and it is possible for a system of individuals to be working feverishly without meaningful change occurring. The author used the example of regulators and compliance officers as a sort of off-hand way of expressing the kind of relationship where the bulk of the labour within the system cancels itself out because it arises from agents having to respond to the actions of one another, and doesn't necessarily increase overall utility.

The other half of why this works (everyone else has already covered the technical end), is that the party is not really concerned with controlling foreigners' access (at least not nearly as much as they are concerned about domestic).

I wonder if without war, or at least the fear of it, we'd have created the interstate highway system, or satellites, nuclear power, jet-liners, etc. No doubt we'd have probably invented something. It's not entirely clear we would've invented the same things. The threat of eminent death tends to allow governments to "rationalize" insane spending on R&D on projects that they'd otherwise not have the stomach to wait on.

Every item pointed out is related to work; make good money at work, short commute to work, interesting work, good benefits at work. The only non work item you mentioned is that you are in the best shape of your life (physically at least).

It appears your work/life balance is lacking. Do you have a significant other? Do you have hobbies you enjoy and/or actively pursue? I have been where you are with the dreading going to work each morning even to the point of being physically sick each morning. I had to find purpose in my work and as a result have just recently formed a startup that I hope will be accepted into Y Combinator.

I would encourage you to find someone you can talk to about the feelings you are experiencing before they become even more pronounced. Success at work is terrific but happiness is not always tied to employment success.

> or are the two genders equally represented among Math Elite and girls twice as likely to have strong verbal skills?

Going straight by the numbers, it seems like the former. Assuming you define math elite to be PhDs holders, this AMS study from 2005 [1] (a little old, I know), says that 30% of math PhDs are awarded to women. Societal factors could also be at play, obviously.

That's not the sort of activity the article was taking aim at; the author's example of regulators and compliance officers was appropriate, I think. The agents may have come to act in a manner where much of the labour that each engages in is justified by the actions of the other, and so the bulk of their combined labour cancels itself out and we have little increased utility on the whole. Whereas your trade of shellfish and peanuts don't behave in this manner.
Also, the upfront or ongoing costs of using some of these platforms, like AirBnB or Uber where you might have a mortgage or car payment that far exceeds your earnings. A $1000 a month mortgage to make $924 a month isn't profitable.
The most interesting thing for these is liquid lithium metal--especially a great solution on diverter.

You seem to be implying that people who use Venmo and/or prefer to deal in exact numbers aren't decent human beings. I suggest you reevaluate that position and consider how greed might not be the root cause of someone behaving that way.

I'd also argue that using a Venmo doesn't take away the opportunity for someone to be generous. Venmo isn't much different from cash except that it makes it more convenient to be precise - it certainly doesn't force anyone to be precise though.

> It seems there was a law passed in the 20's that originated this, reversal/change in 65.

Yeah, the Emergency Quota Act in 1921 and Immigration Act of 1924 introduced the quota system. However, laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 responded demographic changes well before a formal quota system. And, of course, citizenship was restricted to free white people of good character, until the Naturalization Act of 1870 and the 14th amendment in 1868. So, without a welfare system or possibility of citizenship there was little incentive for non-whites to try to come to America.

> This would imply that it wasn't the [rise] of welfare what caused the increased restrictions of immigration

It certainly wasn't only welfare. We had immigration and citizenship laws well before the start of a welfare system in the 1930's. For example, early Chinese immigration was driven by low-skill railway construction and mining jobs. So their exclusion was because they drove down wages and were culturally incompatible.

I would say that immigration law has become significantly more complicated as it is opened up to as many people as possible. However, I don't think it gets more restrictive than "free white people of good character"... If that rule were applied today, less than a tenth of the world population would be eligible.

Domain specific but if you detect a bot you can start giving it false information.

For example, a dictionary site. Someone tries to crawl your site after triggering your "This is a bot" code, serve bad data to every 20 requests. Mispell a word, Mislabel a noun as a verb, give an incorrect definition.

If you combine this with throttling then the value of scraping your site is greatly reduced. Also, most people won't come up with a super advanced crawler if they never get a "Permission denied, please stop crawling" message.

Apparently they also have HR product offerings/software or are going to be going in that direction.

Is your product an HR product? If it is and they obtain the trademark registration of that product name for their HR product, they will have every right to prohibit your use in order to avoid unnecessary confusion. If it is only in the application process you can submit information to the USPTO showing that you have been using that name prior to them (the key here is proven prior use). That does not necessarily mean you will be able to prohibit their registration but if you can show prior use of the same name then the USPTO may allow you to continue to use that name, but that is not likely a wise course of action on a new product you hope to grow. You would subject your project to confusion and it does not sound like this is the type of business you would want your customers to think you are affiliated with or worse, you and that company are one in the same.

It would be wise to talk to an aiP attorney but you can do a great deal of online research regarding these types of conflicts. Unfortunately your situation is not that uncommon and the end result will probably be that you will need to change your name if you also have a HR software or a software product.
> I wish the new tech entrepreneurs would find a better way to fix the low skill problem rather than find a way to reduce services/costs to the bone.

Just a few years ago there was a big push in this direction. MOOCs reduced the price of access to college level material close to zero [1].

There is more to it than access, of course.

[1] edit: following others, notably MIT, who have been releasing great stuff for free for a long time, and the Open University who have had great distance ed with online content for 48 years and counting. ('Online' started out as radio and TV shows). MOOCs were a fresh push, not a wholly original idea.
This is a tire fire of a thread but I'll respond to your concern: the science of heritability, malleability, and measurement of intellect is nowhere near settled, not even close --- we barely understand the populations we've managed to measure. People who attempt to represent the scientific literature as having established a meaningful gap between "races" are misrepresenting the science, and doing so --- intentionally or not --- in the service of a strain of culture that has been persecuting and abusing people for centuries.

If you believe there's a "lot of evidence to the contrary", you should take it up with Turkheimer and Nisbett, both of whom have put more time into studying these issues than any combination of HN commenters have, combined.
