I think its more just an awareness issue of one of the largest, oldest, deepest tech companies in the world, a US based company, has now shifted its employee foot-print out of the US... and yes, it is based on economics for the company, as you say.

So I think the real takeaway here is that IBM is no longer a US based company, per se - but now is just a global tech company.

And you might even say they are the first of the giants to just be simply a "lobal tech company" -- while many a startup are already "global" or virtual as it were -- its just an interesting shift in the timeline of IBM as a company.... and thus relevant and of note when looking at the company IBM itself.

Have they looked at the ACA and people having to pay a lot more for insurance now? And service industry moving more towards part-time jobs since they don't deal with full-time employees given the push towards increasing hourly wages to $15?

That's true, but the person you're replying to spent most of their comment directly addressing that fact.

Getting out of the business of having their own?
Not bright and perfect, just more efficient and meritocratic in most regards. (Similar to pre-internet vs. post internet: we made progress with the internet, and we will make even more progress with blockchain tech.) The reason that so many people are ripped off with scammy ICOs is that they were not allowed to invest into early stage stuff up until now, and they are extremely thirsty because of that. I don't think the solution is to filter by the old model. I don't think that filtering by any means is morally correct: people above 18 years should not be disallowed to invest into whatever they want. Our moral obligation is to warn them and teach them, but it is not ok to forcefully disallow them. Especially because some of them might be actually smarter then some of the VCs out there.

It’s not you. It drives me insane. I really don’t understand why it requires so many page reloads to navigate a thread.
Same, I also get by with 512MB. If i686 support is dropped, I'd need to move up to 1GB, which comes with a considerable cost increase.
You certainly don't have to. Just don't expect to reap the collective benefits of a system that you don't participate in or share the burden of.
I think you're off by about a factor of 5. For example, United Airlines unrestricted full fare (Y class), NYC-SHA one way, is a bit over $3800.

Sencha were working on a project called ExtReact that allowed you to use ExtJS components in React, replacing the JSON-style component declaration syntax with JSX. This would have been pretty amazing - as ExtJS' biggest strength was always the variety and depth of their components (especially the grid).
Whatever the truth, that section is poorly and contradictory.

'A strong link between cognitive ability and the risk of death.'

'A 15-point increase in intelligence was associated with a decreased risk of mortality of 32%.'

Wikipedia suffers a bit from not trying to be too neutral!!

Local cases of intelligence not helping with mortality/reproduction in todays society are not contradictory. This is the (dysgenic) thesis that intelligence does not help. Although increased mortality is perhaps a little harder to explain, but again hardly irreconcilable - I could speculate many plausible explanations.

To address your point, I feel it is intuitively true that we do not have positive evolutionary pressure. If indeed IQs are now falling despite the flynn effect then for intelligence at least here is the evidence for insufficient evolutionary pressure.
Modern ES6+ JavaScript, Part 3 – Numbers in JavaScript
You have a choice not to use that society's services.

If I did work for the company and then they refused to pay me, then yes, I would force them to pay. I would use the law to force them to pay.
> though you have to deal with the significant separation between Part 2 and Part 3.

I don't think that'd be too hard to do. You just have to add some sort of ritualistic ceremony or somesuch occurring at the beginning of Part 3 where "the story of the Seven is told".

You'd have a faceless narrator for the seasons of the show that cover parts 1 and 2, and then, once you reach the end of part 2 (at the end of a season, natch), you reveal the narrator as some sort of hierarch who's been telling the whole story up until now, and jump into the beginning of the next season from there, narratorless, possibly with flashbacks to the narrator telling bits of the post-Epic history as they become relevant.

What I really want is an Anathem TV show though.
Yeah, according to the article:

> The World Health Organization, a United Nations agency, helped broker the deal. Under it, Brazil pays Cuba... nearly four times what Cuban doctors earn through the arrangement.

Google makes $1,200,000 per employee; a comparable average salary is then $300,000, which sounds on the high end of plausible if restricted only to engineer salaries (and it'd be a very top-heavy average), but implausibly high for a company-wide average.

That question could be asked in a reversed fashion too. PostgreSQL is the favorite database here on HN (I prefer it too) but for a generic company out there MySQL/PostgreSQL are interchangeable. Won't really matter which one you choose and I think it's easier to hire people with MySQL experience.
I would suggest that you watch The Expanse. It's possible that perhaps SyFy may have turned over a new leaf somehow.

Yes, definitely some very bad treatments in the past, a terrible reputation that they earned, but something new that breaks from the pattern as well. I'd say it's worth being a tiny bit optimistic about them.
ExtJS was a web client of mine from '09. They were well funded, but always seemed more focused on the next round of funding than their product. Also, they seemed to penetrate the corporate market, but not the average developer. Some smart people on that team though.
Right now Nazism is rightfully consigned to the trash heap of history and mostly people don't talk about it in polite company. Communism should also undergo the same fate. It probably has the highest body count of any ideology (see Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro ) and is the only ideology where a country built a wall, not keep people from coming in, but to keep people from leaving. It has made millions of people miserable, so miserable in fact, that multitudes of people risked their lives to flee it.

TLDR: Nazism and Communism should be in the same bucket.
There's a difference between offshoring and outsourcing to H1B visa exploiters.
I think that there is a bit of truth to both arguments.

There are a lot of very smart people in the west who never had the chance to study medicine (there seem to be a lot of American janitors with high IQs...) - Under a communist regime, those who are mentally able to become a doctor can generally do so; in the west there are many financial and social hurdles. Communism removes the element of luck from the system.

I don't think it's quite fair to portray the doctors as having being treated unfairly though I also understand that it might feel that way.
One would hope that AT&T gets and IBM get something for their money. If the flow is $100 million to IBM, and AT&T nets a $200 million value from workers in India, maybe it is still a net flow to the US. If the US can trade a simple change in a computer record (a US dollar transfer) for stuff it wants, seems like a net positive. Economics is a complicated system with lots of feedback where the actors in the system can change the system itself.
> Ehm...where is this the case?

Most of the exchanges shut down their chat rooms but thats where it is mostly said, and other real time trading arenas where people talk. People say 200k/sat while reading .000200000 btc

but a satoshi also works in other quotes where other cryptocurrencies are the base unit as well. In an XMR/ETH market, the XMR would be quoted in X eth-sat or ethereum satoshis.

The GUIs use a variety of different metric base units and there is no agreement on the GUIs, that has nothing to do with the terms people use in speech, as they don't say "x thousandth of a bitcoin"
I am just curious.. I havent purchased a single IBM roduct for maybe more than a decade (professionally and personally) -- the last major professional purchase was an AS/400 upgrade... 1998?

I have never bought an IBM-->lenovo laptop, although I have been provisioned some in various jobs...

What other main product(s) does IBM have that I would want?

they have great eng resources, scientists, etc... but I just dont see any of my money headed their way any time soon...

Same experience here when I was there for a couple of months. Taxi drivers (and some other tourism related jobs) get paid and tipped in dollars. Easily 10-50x the income of a doctor being paid the equivalent of $30 in Cuban pesos
I went there to apply for a job, and at first I thought the design was a joke, but apparently it is serious.
Plumbers and electricians make great money and they aren’t incurring debt to do so. Plumbers, especially self employed ones, make more than your average “marketing assistant” or some other job that requires a degree.

Plenty of people go to school and don’t rack up tens of thousands in debt.

The question we should be asking is why does education cost keep expanding so quickly: cost inflation is much higher than even healthcare. It isn’t “capitalism” it’s actually the he fact that student loan availability distorts the market. Eliminate student loans and costs will drop like a rock to a level the actual market supports. Don’t blame capitalism because capitalism would never support the artificial cost inflation caused by government intervention.

If Big Macs were subsidized as much as universities, they’d cost $100 because McDonald’s knows that if you can’t afford it, the government will be there to help.
Wasn't this already obvious from simple networks which implement e.g. the XOR function?
Pretty awesome stuff, will echo that this is one of the cleanest feature pages I've seen.

I'd love to hear more about your evaluation of Lua. LuaJIT is so blazingly fast(and small!) that I'm sure it'd be some pretty significant compute savings.

What sandbox solutions did you look into? Separate lua states, just overriding ENV/setfenv() or something completely different?
Glad to see Carlton Reid is getting an article posted here. When bikes were not so popular he was getting on with the UK trade journal BikeBiz:

This is nearly the same announcement that came from Deis at the last community planning meeting at the start of August. In fact, Microsoft only promised 6 months of maintenance after their final v2.18 Deis Workflow release.

And you know, before the first Thursday of September, when the final release was made and it would have been time for the next community planning meeting, three companies had already stepped up and committed to continue development.

People and companies are still using Deis, for better or for worse, and although the Deis core team are elsewhere working on more Kube-native toolings, the core "Workflow" tooling is now fixed in place and for some of us, its functionality is essentially complete. For others, development of the tools will surely continue as no vaguely similar competitor exists, and those teams' needs may have not even been imagined yet.

Do you know what I've found? It is really significantly easier for a casual like myself to work on Deis now that it is in maintenance; you can actually commit yourself to making a change that will take a good long while, and with your own limited resources, when you know that the platform has ceased to be a moving target. You don't need to track everyone's concurrent development efforts to keep your own contributions relevant, if those other development efforts have stopped.

If this project is important to you, then you should pledge to support it in whatever material way you can. The project team has committed to keep the lights on for you for at least a year, so if you ever wanted to be a maintainer for an open source project, there is no time like the present. So rally the troops and step up to the plate!

If you thin this is 10 years ago, you should watch some threads here and on /r/programming about people on H1b visas.
Couldn't agree more. The only thing I know about the situation is what I've read, but many in this thread says "clearly he's a brilliant engineer" and yet, after reading the article, it's less clear to me that he's personally done as much amazing engineering as everyone is saying.
Ask HN: Resources for transitioning from development to management?
I recently found myself in charge of a small development team, and am realizing I have no idea what I'm doing. I've been a freelancer for years, built an MVP, partnered with some co-founders, raised some funding, and now I've found myself in a leadership role.

I've never had to manage people before, and while we tried to hire people we thought could be self-managing, of course that's never really the case.

So I was hoping some of you might be able to point me in the direction of some resources that can help me learn how to transition into being able to manage a team effectively.

Code is so much easier than people..

Because as we all know, the US is special and gets to fuck with everybody else's elections (up to and including the violent overthrow of a democratically elected government and state executed assassination), but do it to them and suddenly it's a warlike act.
The last thing I intended to do was defend the totally broken American education system, where the costs are inflated by subsidized loans which were purportedly intended to increase access but actually work to move us closer to an indentured servitude system like they have in Cuba.
Awesome example, thanks. We've been starting using different Dockerfiles for prod and dev. For prod we want tiny images, but for dev the caching of layers is more important for frequent rebuilds. Such balance all the time :sigh:
If there were looser H1-B policies, wouldn't jobs still go to non-Americans but just not over seas?
As a solo freelancer, I have developed and maintained an internal management web app for a small wine importing company from 2012 to this day: a huge portion of its 15+ KLOCs codebase is ExtJS 4 (the rest is the Python backend) and I have mixed feelings about it.. Given the heavy use of complex widgets and layouts (the Grid component in particular does about everything you could ever imagine, and probably more), I often think that porting to another (more modern?) framework would be almost impossible.. I regularly browse what's available, and I'm certain that an upgrade based on a React + Material stack of some kind would be an interesting evolution, but I'm not sure I have the courage to undertake such an endeavor (not to mention the fact that my client probably wouldn't see the immediate advantage). Despite the often-mentioned appreciable learning curve (which I can't really appreciate anymore since it's been amortized on so many years and hacking sessions), here are four things I appreciate the most of Ext JS:

1. The fact that well-written Ext JS code has a very "declarative" feel to it, despite being JS

2. The documentation is very complete and written with love

3. The dev environment I've been using is very monolithic, and seems very far from the incredibly scattered stack of tools that seem to slowly poison the JS landscape and culture, and which we often read articles about on HN

4. The community (at least when I was interacting with it on a more regular basis) is great
so should one be shorting the stock???
> shift your development work to under qualified developers or programmers.

How do you justify this blanket statement?
I'm surprised how many readers reject the premise outright. I thought the part 'this wasn't a credit card play, this wasn't a get info on every American play' was somewhat compelling. plus the part about looking into a handful of people with high security value?
The system's C library would use the syscalls directly and the application would use the C library routines. So if/when the OS updates the syscall ABI, it would also update the system's C library to use the new syscalls, and the application would continue to use the stable C library API and get the new syscalls under the covers automatically.
? It sounds like the author is ignoring denormals?

-edit-

Yes, the author is ignoring gradual underflow and the resulting denormal numbers.

So as you move from one binate to the next, the spacing between floating point numbers doubles or halves depending on whether you are increasing or decreasing the exponent. When you reach the binate with the most negative possible exponent, you have two choices: a) round toward zero, which leads to a huge non-monotonic jump in the spacing of numbers on the floating point number line. This is a great annoyance to numerical analysts and leads to convergence instabilities. That is why any modern computer used for numerical work incorporates choice b) gradual underflow, which implies that you must allow non-normalized numbers in the two binates (the two being + and - sign bit) of the most negative exponent, which has the effect of creating another pair of binates around zero. This keeps the spacing of numbers on the floating point number line the same in the four binates around zero. Numerical algorithms are then much more stable.

I haven't looked at what GPU's do, I strongly suspect that they round toward zero, because first of all it doesn't matter much to graphics applications, and secondly, the typical method of handling denormals is to take a trap and drop into software emulated floating point because the cost of the additional hardware to handle denormals is very large and the hardware complexity is crazy-making. A GPU isn't going to want to break the pipeline for a denormal.

Air quality is still a big issue too.
Probably not, gentoo compiles everything, building deb packages for every possible combination of flags would be almost impossible, and if you add the fact that you can change the flags for a single package then you will get something impossible to do.

USE flags and equivalents are a thing that only comes with systems that compile most of the software instead of relying in binaries.
Interestingly I found ExtJs (3) when I was evaluating every single data grid component there was. I found theirs to be the best at the time (2009) and went all in to the framework. Someone mentioned a love/hate relationship and that's pretty accurate. The level of polish on it was unlike anything else at the time but it was an all-in proposition. You had to buy into the eco system and stay in to use it.
Would this be true if high skilled legal immigration system in USA wasn’t broken?

Familiarity?

MySQL/MariaDB is pretty much the "standard" database that most programmer started with. At least in university.

So there is no point on using PosgreSQL if MariaDB fits the bill for them. Less learning curve, easy to hire for etc
So, there is the HTTP cache. It turns out a lot of storage use cases are actually answered by the cache. E.g. say you need some lookup table that changes every five minutes -- make it cacheable, max-age=300, and have your worker load it from cache.

Of course, that's not the answer to everything. We don't plan to offer other storage in v1 but we are definitely thinking about it for the future.

You wrote too much, you should start a blog instead.

The battery issue is your weakest argument. Batteries are consumables, they should be replaceable. Apple could make it a little bit easier to accomplish that simple task without compromising their design. It doesn't have to be like an Android phone with a removable back, it just has to not break so damn easily when a tech person opens it. It is absurd that a $1000 smartphone can't be repaired in any meaningful way except for a full factory refurbishment. Huge imposition on the "owner" of that product.
Because I've worked with outsourced IBM tech.
Doctors saw what happened when every factory worker in the US was forced to compete with every factory worker in North America after NAFTA, and later the world. Unlike factory workers, no one's spent decades dismantling doctor unions and organizations, and they actually have the money and influence to resist attempts to break protectionist barriers. This just isn't going to happen.

Rapid, careless globalization was an interesting experiment, but it's left a lot of people with no hope for the future. Do we really want to repeat it?

We're using different definitions of self-interest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-interest

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_egoism (your use)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_egoism (my use)

In the normative sense, any action that is "bad" is irrational. In the descriptive sense, there is no such thing as wrong self interest, therefore it can't be irrational. In that sense "rational self-interest" is tautological. Which is why in my original question I asked for "an example of someone not acting in their (voluntary) self interest".

We can also reason in principle that markets don't require that people have their long-term best interest in mind. The market for cigarettes and fast-food is operating just fine. Sure customers might suffer for it, but the market aspect worked just fine.
