Shipping containers are terrible to use for homes for so many reasons. By the time you stick multiple together to create enough space and cut windows and doors (and then reinforce them to fix the damage you caused to the structure) to make them acceptable and livable, you end up spending more than you would with typical light frame construction to end up with a cramped space a low ceilings and poor insulation.

It really is a fetish. There's no sensible reason for containerized homes (absent maybe disaster zones, but even then no one's really building completed container homes and shipping them; it's still done on-site).
That sounds a lot like the thinking the author was complaining about in the article. There is a lot going on underneath your protocol layer here, and much that can go wrong. How sure can you be that the system is in a synchronized state?

When Microsoft met SUSE: This Windows-Linux partnership gets stronger every day
I mean - I'm always looking for ways to please my partner, and to a lesser degree, my friends, family and co-workers. Little trinkets I think she might like, a surprise dinner, doing some dishes that we've been letting slide, making tea, refilling water, whatever. And she does the same for me. And my friends, family, and co-workers tend to do the same as well.

It's not silly. It's called kindness, and it's part of emotional labour.

Which seems to bring us back around to the first point again.
That's interesting research, indeed.

On the other hand, we and future generations will surely be working to reduce the CO2 levels.
Not sure if I understood correctly, but the source of the results is from the (current) monthly HN "Who is hiring?" thread.

Have been using Cerebral for my projects written in React for a while. Christian and other maintainers have done an amazing job. They just got the web development right from routing, declarative business logic to managing side effects. Try Cerebral and never look back.
Well, this spreadsheet as it is now isn't very much useful. In fact it is annoying at best. Only programmers will find it amusing and precisely because of how small the code is. No one is actually going to use it ever.
Compared to PyPy, Nuitka is slow, buggy, and doesn't handle as much of the Python language. Nuitka vomits and dies on about half the code I've tried it on.
Ask HN: Seeking a cofounder who wants to change how technical recruiting is done
I'm interested in finding a co-founder with the following attributes:

1. Highly passionate about recruiting; primarily technical recruiting.
2. Hustlers who love selling
3. Highly focused and finishes things before moving on.

About Me and the project
-------------------------

I am a highly passionate software engineer with a deep interest in the technical recruiting space. I think I speak for most engineers when I say "the recruiting industry really sucks when it comes to technical recruiting" and that thought really drives me to do something about it.

I have been building a specialized job board that's focused on technology jobs only. The job board is embedded in websites, in the same way, Disqus is embedded, and the jobs will be targeted to the focus of the website.

I feel it's time we start building recruiting solutions starting from the perspective of the candidates.

I'm not too far away from an MVP release of the product and that's why I'm reaching out to the Hacker News community.

If you're an engineer and you're tired of how recruiting is done, I want to hear more about your pain points! What defines an excellent experience? What do you feel is missing? I have my opinions, but I'm interested in hearing your voice.

The key is a marketable college degree. In fields such as aerospace and defense where the credential is the key to open the door, get the credential as cheaply as possible. Do a couple of years at a community college and then finish at a state school. Name-brand degrees bring no extra value. Oh yeah, and get your master’s while you’re still in the zone.

The idea that trade school somehow is lower tier or oppressive is a staggering disservice. Just like every college-bound high schooler is not med school material, not every high schooler is college material. Put a wrench or saw or blowtorch in the hands of a doctor or engineer, and crummy is the likely result. Skilled trades are an honorable, respectable way to earn a good living. Forcing people into tracks for their own supposed good but where they feel hopeless is horrible social engineering.
The uptick isn't. But if 1/5 student loans are more than 30 DPD, that will be a problem.

I repaid, but the Equifax information is wrong.....
"If I were to point out random emotional labor duties I carry out—reminding him of his family’s birthdays, carrying in my head the entire school handbook and dietary guidelines for lunches, updating the calendar to include everyone’s schedules, asking his mother to babysit the kids when we go out, keeping track of what food and household items we are running low on, tidying everyone’s strewn about belongings, the unending hell that is laundry—..."

That all sounds like household management with some relationship management thrown in. What does it have to do with labouring over emotions? It sounds like this person needs a partner who shares more household responsibilities and has an organization and cleanliness habit that is more in line with their own.

EDIT: I just did a quick search of this term "emotional labor" and this comes up from wikipedia:

"Emotional labor is the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill the emotional requirements of a job. More specifically, workers are expected to regulate their emotions during interactions with customers, co-workers and superiors."

That seems a lot more reasonable definition for emotional labour. Actual emotion management. The author of the featured article seems to want to attach this term to just about every kind of task that occurs in a household.
Lodash is a modern JavaScript utility library delivering modularity, performance & extras.

You have probably used Lodash in one of your projects.

Wouldn’t it be great if every javascript developer could experiment Lodash in herB browser without needing to install anything or to create a JsFiddle?

Today, this dream comes true. In this blog post, you can play with Lodash functions. Experiment the edge cases of the API. Compose a short gist and check if it works as expected….

A few reasons I can think of:

* Wage garnishment is limited, maybe the ruined the credit score and the max % of garnished monthly paycheck (%15) is less than what they are already paying?

* The type of majors and students background who graduated changed. Maybe universities 4 years ago decided to accept more students into majors which are having a hard time finding employment. Universities don't care, they just want more students with 6 figure approved loans to roll in.

* It is possibly there was a hint or signal of debt forgiveness being implemented. It doesn't have to be true, just a rumor but it can start to self-perpetuate because people really want to believe it.

* Also everyone is pretty connected these day via social media so maybe if someone bragged about not paying and "look a few months later, nothing happened to me" others might start thinking, hmm, well maybe it's ok. Certainly nobody wants to be left still paying like a fool if all their cool friend stopped and they still seem to be doing ok, kind of attitude.

Wages and benefits are too low, tuition is too high, cost of living is too high, and student loans are a scam. Tuition is a scam.

As this other Bloomberg piece notes [1], it's probably useful to break out the type of school and degree when looking at debt. It's not clear that basic undergraduate degrees are an issue with ballooning debt as much as for-profit schools and graduate degrees that don't do much for employment prospects. (The latter not just being a case of "useless" degrees but professional degrees like MBAs and JDs from low-tier or even just non-top-tier schools.)

To be nitpicky, (and slightly tongue in cheek), would "treasure hunter" not be a more appropriate term than "metal detector enthusiast"? I assume if there were a better tool for finding buried treasure, they'd happily ditch their metal detectors.

It would be interesting to be able to pick a company and then track the flow of goods to/from that company.

For example, I was interested in a particular company so I looked them up, found shipments, searched another table for the shipper, and then googled to find out what they make.

But being able to more easily navigate that would be interesting, who else does that supplier ship to? The shipments I saw looked kind of regular, but plotting them on a timeline, with weights, would give me a better understanding of what's happening.

Can I correlate shipment sizes with earnings etc? I think there are lots of interesting things to look for.
The British National Party used to be called the British Union of Fascists. Nick Griffin was leader for 15 years, until 2014, and is a holocaust denier. Until 2010, they had an official "whites only" membership policy. It's illegal for police, fire frighters, and prison officers in the UK to be a BNP member. The Church of England forbids it's priests from being members. It's not much of a stretch.

If you're not British you might think "oh they are just another political party", that's not true at all.

I have been using Cerebral for half a year now in a fairly complex project and am very happy I chose it over the alternatives for state management. I don't think my application could have grown in such a manageable way if I did not use Cerebral.

The Cerebral debugger is another high point and apart from helping with debugging helps to get a clear picture about what is going on in the application and where some refactoring is needed.

The maintainers are awesome people, too. I have often discussed issues I had in the Cerebral Discord channel and they have always been very responsive and helpful.

I hope Cerebral takes off and becomes as popular as it should be.
Serious question: Who loses out if all the student debt got canceled? Not the colleges, I assume, because they already got the tuition. And not the students. So would it be loan companies and the US government? Would such an action be catastrophic?

Speaking of lessened "value" of degrees, University's need to be held accountable for some of the debt that they are encouraging students to take on. For example, at my public university, STEM students were charges several thousand dollars a year more than humanities students. STEM programs also did their best to discourage enrollment. Meanwhile the anthropology department is literally begging students to stay and get a masters or phd with them.
The photographer, Harry Diamond, (himself the subject of a Freud painting -- http://pictify.saatchigallery.com/462766/interior-in-padding...) was still a Soho habitué many years later when I had the pleasure of meeting him. I recommend his work, too.
Honest question: why is 1/5 that much more of a problem than 18.8%?
I'm not sure git is the example I would want to hold up of a service that always synchronizes flawlessly and effortlessly.

Maybe I'm alone, but I've more than once gotten my local copy in a state that seems to require me to blow it away and re-clone it to get it working again. Sometimes it seems to get hung up at a particular point in time and I can't get it to pull recent changes, even when I've tried to tell it to pull from the head.

> "how hard it’s going to be to rebuild the electric grid..."

- ~80% of transmission lines are down

- >90% of distribution lines are down

- Fuel for their generation plants is desperately needed and needs to be shipped in on a regular basis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_Electric_Power_Aut...)

Basically, from an electrical-grid-restoration perspective ("Blackstart"), its a nightmare.

For anyone looking to learn how to use Jekyll Cloud Cannon[1] has a really well made set of tutorials and some nice looking free themes.

Personally I would skip GitHub and just put it up on a cheap vps, you can set it up to auto compile on a git push like GitHub as well. [2]

If you read the article, they have made several other claims regarding Haiti which simply weren't true. THAT is the problem, not whether or not they are an organization who builds houses.
> but repayment of those loans is capped as a percentage of the person's income,

Depending on what you mean by this, it could be either a good idea or nothing would change. So can you clarify?

If you simply mean that the students would only have to pay back a portion of the loan, but the government would still have to fund the rest to the university, then nothing would change from how things work right now. The universities would keep raising the prices.

> Shell and Allego are talking about increasing the rate to £0.49p next year. If they do, it would render the station completely useless.

umm... that's a bit hyperbolic. It would render the station "premium priced vs. home charging" or even vs. the Tesla charging stations at £0.20p.

It would still recharge the drivers car. That's the part that is useful. "Giving away electricity for slightly more than cost" isn't the useful bit.
There are some pretty hostile laws against borrowers. A relatively recent one caps the tax write-off on interest at $2,500. Anyone who went to a private or out of state college will hit that cap easily.
I recently made a sales call to an individual who built a man cave of sorts out of two containers. He paid a bit extra to purchase containers that were originally refrigerated. There was a fair bit of insulation sandwiched between two pieces of steel. It was quite impressive from an energy and noise standpoint. It was eerily quiet.
I know Steve Jobs is (still) idolized and discussed often among founders as a role model, but the truth is he was great at marketing and surrounded himself with the best possible people he could to be successful.

Hefner's story is far more fascinating of a case study. There's adversity, adoption to radical industry and cultural changes, there's controversy, and ultimately there's success through hard work and iteration. So, if you're a founder just now learning about Hefner because of his death, I strongly encourage you to go and read about him and his company's story.
Alternatively, perhaps fully paying off your loans has become such an unusual thing that it has joined the ranks of "things rappers brag about in their lyrics"
How can I trust them that they will be not screwing me with their free tier? Their next tier is $45 per month, seriously? Why not take $5/10/20 per month and at least earn my trust. I'm not going to use anything for free. If it's free either they burning VC money or I'm the product.
Why should this be the case? They offer a service with hundreds of competing options (other schools), so it's hard to argue they're not offering market rate.

"less than 1%"

Are you thinking VC-backed startups, or maybe lumping them in to your calculation?

Remember, we're talking bootstrapped businesses designed for profitability. I think you'd be hard pressed to make ten real efforts in a row, learning lessons as you go, without getting one of them to stick.

For VC's, where "profitable and growing linearly" equates to failure, then sure, the odds are worse. But that's just another reason not to go that route.

tens of thousands of dollars

For what it's worth, the 4 big multi-year failures I reference above cost maybe a few thousand dollars total over the span of 10 years, and happened primarily in spare nights & weekends during the course of an otherwise active and non-ruined life. Most people who met me never knew it was happening at all, and no friday beers were missed as a result of the aforementioned bootstrapping.
Having read the lyrics for the song, I'm not sure that the song is encouraging at all, on the payback perspective. Talking about having two jobs and destroyed credit seems to me more like having the loans paid off is more like getting out of some kind of imprisonment (I do not want to disparage how terrible imprisonment is in the US, but I couldn't think of something better).

I would argue that this song is more an anthem for those who understand how hard it is to live under the weight of these loans, and perhaps if you are fortunate enough to pay them off, it is a time of celebration, as you might be able to quit that second job.
Unless Jekyll has changed a lot, using themes is a major pain. Since Jekyll doesn't enforce any particular structure, there's no way to have drop-in themes. Using a new theme is really about cloning a theme and then re-writing your site to hopefully make use of it. Or pick at bits and pieces you like and make your own custom theme.

I hate to be pedantic, but think calling "I finished paying Sallie Mae Back" a top rated songs in Hip Hop right now(or ever) is a big stretch. It's over a year old, and its mainly just a good goof of a song that people shared around on Facebook last year. I don't think I ever knew anyone who listened to it outside of that context.
This sounds a lot more like the story of an unhappy marriage and poor communication, than about emotional labour. The narrative of a bumbling but hard working ox of a husband and a whip smart, but overworked wife is tired and unhelpful to both parties.
Avast free WebShield on Win7 is giving me a FileRepMalware error and is aborting the download and connection.

Not a subtle distinction as in the US, natural gas is essentially all domestic (and is starting to be exported as well). The decision to grow ethanol is geopolitical at least as much as it has anything to do about the environment (remember, serious ethanol mandates started under Bush II) as part of the effort for energy independence, so trading natural gas for gasoline through ethanol (even if we wrongly assume it's as bad as 1:1) is still desirable.

Also, gasoline (C8H18) has a carbon to hydrogen ratio of approximately 0.44, compared to 0.25 for natural gas (CH4) (and natural gas has a higher specific energy), so from a carbon emissions perspective is still superior.

Additionally, natural gas in not "just a natural cracking product of petroleum." There are other significant geological sources of natural gas, and it is produced through decay of just about any organic matter.
If we want government subsidies for private education, why don't they subsidize private education, not private education loans. (Incidentally, public schools have a lot of loans too)

This is the same probably I have with the affordable healthcare act: it started off about healthcare, but became about healthcare insurance.
Are you really nitpicking use of rather accepted term?
It is possible, but it seems unlikely that resentment is the primary reason graduates fail to pay down their student loans.
So... generic and not leading to a job?

The problem is the proliferation of degrees, and thinking that hasn't caught up with the new reality (e.g. "getting a degree is good" -> "getting the RIGHT degree is good").

Not sure it gets better in a global world, where the vast majority of high IQ people live outside the west, and intelligent jobs not based on local legislation (like lawyers) can move easily internationally.
They probably still have the latest Apple gear though.
Nah, we just realize that we're demanding an excessive amount of education for most jobs because employers can demand it with no cost to themselves, forcing an entire generation to take on a debt burden their parents did not have to because the cost of education had not become overly inflated yet.

The fix for this can be realized with a tax that funds education; if you need someone with a bachelors, you pay X as a tax. If you need someone with a masters, you pay 2X. A PhD? 4X. If the position doesn't require a degree and you train them, you pay no tax (ie journeyman or apprenticeship).
