I think that's a start but specifically because $110K is nearly entry level in silicon valley it ought to be significantly higher. $150K would probably be enough to stop it from holding wages down.

A great side effect of this is that it pretty much makes H1B not viable in the Midwest or other areas where we probably ought to be trying to develop more talent

1 and 2 both sound quite familiar in the US system too. Ineffective and dismissive treatment for back pain is a common complaint, and long ER waits for non-life-threatening conditions are normal.

Anecdotes don't really do anything for us besides give us pointless things to argue about. You need to look at statistics like life expectancy, quality of life, average wait times, unnecessary deaths, etc.

The fact that you have to qualify your final statement with "when you have good insurance" is the whole problem. Before the ACA, that was far from a given, and even if you had good insurance it was too easy to lose. If Republicans have their way, we'll be back in that situation again.

I don't get it when people bring up situations like your #2. I'm sure it really, really sucked to wait six hours in the ER with an injury like that, but is it worse than staying home and trying to treat it yourself because you can't afford to visit the ER? Is it worse than dying from a simple condition because you can't afford to see a doctor?

You may want to clarify on the home page that it's $10 bucks for life -- I almost didn't buy because I thought it was $10/mo.

$10 for life is a no brainer. $10/mo you have to think a bit harder about.
I agree. That's a good example, as is twitter in terms of speed of propagation.

The problem with objective news, I imagine is the objective part since sources, even if designed to be validation capable (which might reduce fake news) would be hard to validate for objectivity.

Not everything that the program needs to run is included in the binary.

Let's use a more concrete example. Let's say we write a Go program that copies a file. On Windows, this might use an API call like CopyFile:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa3...

If you decompile the compiled Go program into C, it'd still have the references to API calls like this. These APIs would have to be implemented on the new OS for the decompiled program to work without modification.

How do you define art? I've always liked Scott McCloud's definition from Understanding Comics: "Art, as I see it, is any human activity which doesn’t grow out of either of our species’ two basic instincts: survival and reproduction."

In my view, anyone who dedicates their free time to creating is an artist.

I would agree with this.

It sounds like it's a mental health issue, not an issue with your skills or the marketplace. You just need to heal your mind, and nature and a good vacation or break can do that.
I've been fortunate to learn about Convoy and speak with employees involved recently. Convoy is the real deal and making this Uber for Trucking idea work.

Where are you skiing that results in you receiving repeated blows to your head?

The comparison doesn't hold up at all, and OP's original point still stands against yours.
Why does a tab need to be open for this though? For me, the point of open tabs is that I know what they contain and can switch between them quickly with a quick click. Having to search for them defeats their purpose.

There were at least a few others [1].

And those don't include the legitimizing of the Steele Dossier, which was a few levels separated from an "anonymously-sourced story," but hardly the paragon of journalistic standards.

And that doesn't take into account Comey's testimony, where he claimed that often the people talking about these things to reporters don't know what's going on [2].

I think people concerned with journalistic standards since the election aren't totally off-base.

The first few comments were about the futility of the funding.

Weighted shortest path algorithms are regularly used in the freight forwarding space in order to calculate the rates paid for routes.

That would be Encrypted Media Extensions (EME).

The saga behind media conglomerates, tech firms, pornography distributors and the W3C is pretty unpleasant, and (suffice to say) it has brought us to where we are today. As fast in-browser decryption hits broader swaths of the world's internet users, we should expect to see more and more sections of the web walled off to unregistered users.

Considering most/all users are accustomed to being required to register and log in to websites to view content, the outrage will be minimal and isolated to enthusiastic commenters like the parent above you.

Let's put this in a familiar context -- remember how Twitter decided to close off its platform to third-party apps? Now most users need either Twitter for Twitter-sanctioned apps.

This similar sequence of events can be replicated over all sources of content of the web with mini-walled gardens popping up.

There is so much room for different approaches here, I don't think anyone has a solution at the moment. What I'm proposing is just a directed search for a solution. I don't think we know enough to rule one out either.

For instance, maybe it involves employing a large number of people (maybe Amazon Turk style), piecing together commentary on shared subjects from varied sources (e.g. different newspapers)

—not that I think that is a particularly good solution, I just mean to point out the potential range of solution-types possible here.

Show HN: Plx – React parallax component
I haven't seen anyone mention developer skill yet. We tried microservices where I work, but the developers skill in debugging async code proved to be problematic.
could it be be that such studies underestimate these effects because of this obvious assumption that fraternal twins share 50% of their genes - IMHO they share more than that because for all genes that "matter" their parents genes would be quite correlated.

Contrary to the popular saying, like attracts like. Parents are exceedingly likely to share visible traits and also mental traits - so the correlation between siblings wouldn't be halfway between random member of population and an identical twin, but much closer to the identical twin.
Hello HN,

I got tired of making react parallax components over and over again, so I ended up creating what I think is pretty robust and performant solution. Most of the code is based on the production projects I've done in the past.

Demo: https://stanko.github.io/react-plx/

How it works: https://stanko.github.io/plx-react-parallax-component/

It has multiple optimizations described on the links above.

Feedback and contributions are welcome.

Cheers!

Everybody has their personal tracking device/diary with them at all times. Now we are even starting to spread surveillance devices all around our homes like it's the most normal thing in the world to have a telescreen (1984) like device in the middle of our living rooms.

In this day and age, marketing is not limited to cold calling or posting on Facebook to one's inner circle of friends.

You need to wear your engineer hat to do very tightly focused marketing. Say you are making a widget for wordpress which lets you accept bitcoins - your target market is likely to be very small compared to a mass market site like HN. Find out where those people who want to pay or receive btc payments hang out or find out where people who want to extend btc into blogs hang out and connect with them - read their discussions and learn their cadence. Talk up your solution at opportune points in the discussion.

Do a little every day - no zero days, remember? - and over time, you will either get more comfortable talking up your product to the lay audience or realize your market doesn't actually like your product and wants something else.
I used to work at a company called Spaceport.io (now defunct) where we had a nearly complete implementation. It included an impressive GPU-accelerated renderer and an optimising compiler from AS3 to JavaScript—we could run on mobile, desktop, and even WebGL, and do neat things like update over WiFi instead of USB during development.

It was intended for Flash game development, and worked pretty well for that purpose. Unfortunately, we spent a lot of time dealing with large customers who wanted to use it to port existing Flash games to mobile, which was basically a neverending treadmill of having to implement obscure features that they didn’t even know they were relying on. :/

Parts of it have been open-sourced, but I wish the parent company would just release the whole thing. Last I knew, there was one guy maintaining it for one customer after the main engineers were acquihired.
I strongly suggest finding another field more suitable for you.

No matter how good a product is somebody will always be unhappy with it

If nothing else, someone almost without fail will leave a one-star review that has nothing to do with the item itself. "Package was damaged, one star." "UPS left it in the rain..." If Jesus asked for reviews at Mount Olive (the loaves and fishes thing), there'd be a one-star review somewhere, "fish was a little dry, and I don't like sourdough bread. Better miracles at Joe's House of Wonder, one star." (Though I guess even in reality he got one star from the Pharisees: "shouldn't be doing miracles on Sabbath; one star.") Nothing and nobody, even Jesus, gets nothing but five star reviews.

IOW, your suggestion would be as good as anything Amazon has right now.

I actually was hoping Trump would kick out all Indians from US ever since I heard of the story of Snapdeal founder (he didn't get h1b, came back and started a company in India).

>What's the rate for getting mesothelioma after working with asbestos?

That's a bad comparison. You don't just get a little bit of cancer. You get it or you don't and when it gets caught is what matters. Cognitive decline is not binary like that.

With asbestos it depends on how much exposure, how often and how long. PPE for use with high temperatures used to be asbestos before that was a liability. You don't see "served in an artillery unit in 'nam" on the TV commercials for the lawyers who litigate that stuff because only occasionally wearing asbestos gloves as part of your day job for a few years isn't a big deal. The same goes for doing brake jobs on your own vehicles since the '60s. It's not enough exposure. The advice for people who find it in their houses is to make sure it's not getting disturbed. Low levels of exposure = low risk. Sure, you can come up with an average decrease in life expectancy per some amount of exposure (this is popular with cigarettes) but it's not very meaningful when the result of the exposure to asbestos is a coin toss with worse odds years down the line.

Regardless, I'd take a slow death from age 45 to 65 if it meant that my family shot to the top of the economic ladder over the course of my career. Unless you really, really screw up wealth doesn't go away between generations.
This still doesn't do what I want. If I have 5 windows open with 5-20 tabs each, and force a crash, I can recover them via this menu. It's tedious because I have to do them one by one, but it works.

But if I crash chrome, relaunch, don't recover or open a different set of tabs before recovering, then force a crash again, the menu is blank.

I'm not going to rely on something this finicky. Compare this to history -- it's there, in chronological order, until you clear it. That's how this should work.

Very interesting approach. I've heard of an approach similar to this one, although it was not limited to junior devs. You can quickly find out if a possible final candidate is appropriate, and a good fit for the company, by simply working with them for a day on a small project.
> foxnews and the nytimes are just propagandists like any other

This is a textbook example of the lazy, uneducated thinking that causes fear and outrage. Lazy lazy lazy false equivalence. To say that "they're all the same" is absolutely not the case and nor will it ever be. The sooner people become more discerning of the information that they consume, the better off we all will be.

There is an extremely large gulf in the baseline quality of reporting between those two outlets. If you cannot discern that, then you are too far gone.
Let me qualify the parent comment with my own feelings, as i knew the moment i read their comment what your reply would say.

Of the 30 or so engineers i have worked closely with over the last 6 years, nothing correlates better to the programmers ability than what i describe as "passion".

I do not share the stance that this requires someone to spend time outside of work on personal projects or burning the midnight oil on work. Instead, what i look for is a burning desire to be creative and solve problems, specifically with code. I give candidates a number of opportunities to express why coding is important to them, and what would they be doing in its absence. If i had to only ask a single interview question, it would be something to that effect.

While i don't mean to suggest every excellent programmer shares this passion, it has become the best single barometer i can find of gauging future ability. With midlevel and senior devs this task becomes a lot easier because you have so much experience to lean on. For juniors, passion is king.

I can relate to this. I'm in my 8th year and $0 so far. I only did 3 projects though. All based on open source work. My first took 3 years. Second one took 1 year and I spun it off into my current one which I've been working on for almost 4 years.

Things have started to look up recently. For years it looked like everything was going against me: Competitors kept coming up with products that got tons of attention and were shaking things up towards a different path. But now I feel that something changed and some opportunities are appearing all at once
This is why you don't design something around an esoteric part, like the only ARM part with 5 Quad SPI ports or a dual time base RTC. If you do, have contingencies for your contingencies, like merging footprints you can have the option to use different IMUs on the same PCB.
IMO this comes down to people from the DEs "diving the stack" in some silly attempt at fixing a problem most people didn't have.

> and that has a clear path to switch from dev board to own IC.

The core problem why many startups get stuck with Raspberry Pi, Arduino and friends is exactly the "dev board" problem.

When building an MVP and I have the choice between a $20 Pi/Arduino/Pi Compute Board and a $1.000+ dev board, hell I'll choose the Pi option. Lots more support, especially because any combo of I/O and a Pi has been tried by someone else before in contrast to $weird_sensor+$weird_niche_devboard, and especially you will want about 10 or more units so you can afford to blow a couple boards. This will happen inevitably during development, either by "fat fingering" +12V to a 3V3 input or by blowing the wrong eFuse, and better to lose 20$ than 1k$, not to mention you have to raise the 10k first...
