I often find that building stuff just so happens to be the best way to learn stuff.
The point has been proven: there’re some business models that can be jump start with VC, and generate tons of cash flow. It will never go away.

What’s happening is that the world is learning no to invest hundreds of millions in a ”bro app”. VCs learning = less investment in absurd enterprises = less total number of startups

I know what you mean, but this was a bad example. People who really know c++ are having to turn jobs down right now. Fintech is all over my c++ acquaintances.

Your advice about clear economic terms is spot on for resumes at any age. You have to link to numbers and then try to link to dollars.

"Developed a Python API for reporting." -- boring

"Developed a Python API that handled X amount of data, with Y amount of request/s and delivered Z reports/month that in turn saved/made the company $U/year." -- this checks the tech boxes and the managers/owners box of dollars delivered.
>GDPR has significant scope to enable DDOSing of commercial organisations with information requests - it will likely become a tool for political activism as the new information request system has no fee.

Won't see widespread usage outside of learning because you can no longer trust any compiler upgrade not requiring a rewrite to your code, as it arbitrarily decides what the latest best practice.

What might be useful though is something like -wall printing all flags representing current best practices, so you can have a snapshot of it when writing new code (the problem with current -wall is again potentially arbitrary changes on compiler updates as new warnings get added, if it actually did warn on everything)

Then you can choose when you want to update to whatever modern best practices
What made you decide to quit after 2 hours?

Agreed and I didn't mean to suggest your time is any less valuable , its at that age you have more freedom to decide what is a priority when it comes to optional time allocation and flexibility to shuffle the time.

BTW companies especially the big ones will push you as far as your demographics or industry will allow them too. Their priority is too push the "what is acceptable line" furthest as possible to save that dollar. The smart ones know better of the consequences, but most are too focused on the quick savings.

BTW when I stayed late or worked for free it was never for the benefit of the company. It was always for my benefit as I was never under the illusion that any company considered me more important than their bottom line. I viewed giving away my free time as an investment on my part to get experience in something that benefited me in the end.

Some day soon, the last person who genuinely cares about the Howdy Doody TV show will die. No one else will truly care about it after they're gone, because no one will have fond childhood memories of watching it.

All this stuff dies even if the language lives on. The jokes stop being funny, and the stories stop being enjoyable. We just end up with a few preserved works that we label "classics" and force school children to read.
UBI can be a hard sell because it is a koan of fairness, activating one’s empathy and rage simultaneously. The income is meant to support people who desperately need it as well as wealthy hipsters who just don’t feel like working. The one hand clapping begins to feel like a slap.

The article makes excellent points and is also a delight to read due to witty turns of phrase. I am sad to see that it did not get more traction.

Tesla is a super risky piece of kit for an insurer.

They are a sole source provider of sorts and maintain a tight lock on authorized body shops. Even a car with lots of low volume high cost parts like a Benz has a competitive market of resellers, dealers and service providers.

Tesla is the problem here. Having them be an insurance provider just makes them a bigger problem.
If you peek at the <title> on the top of the page, rather than the title given in the page itself, you'll see: "Saturn's Moon Titan Is More Compelling Than Mars As A Long-Term Human Destination"

The weirdos and hackers are still doing the same stuff they've always done. What you are seeing is the influx of people who would have gone into law or finance identifying tech as having the biggest payoff for the least amount of effort. The Silicon Valley of before was a small fraction of its current size.
That's called "machine to machine communication", or "M2M", by the companies who do that. Much of it is still over pager networks. There are hundreds of thousands of industrial HVAC systems, quietly sending "Inside temp 72, outside temp 87, compressor 1 on/OK/2421 operating hours, compressor 2 off/OK/3423 operating hours, coolant pressure OK, water level in chiller OK, city water pressure OK..." back to a maintenance service.

See, your logic is sound, and the math isn't working out recently though.

I learned to cook from my depression era grandmother. Home cooking is healthy, but not always cheap.

My grandmother used to tell me "this meal is $1.37 per serving"

As we made things, I learned to cook in le curset pots from a woman who used to travel the world with Martin yan and Julia child... (we were state department family and had a lot of opportunity)

But my main point remains: the "educate" is pArt-and-parcel to the whole greater idea of a home cooked meal: "family time"

"Fast food is the bane of existence as we have basically brought generations to not value what home cooking means... then we exploit them in the cheap labor force and perpetuate the idea that having a "home cooked meal" means that "the way mom used to cook it" is an actual phrase and it means the disruption of the basis of modern society, the family...

This issue can spiral and spiral, but my point is that rather than basic income, we need basic pantry - the basis of understanding, having access to, and the knowledge to cook a good meal without breaking the home (due to how hard people need to work at jobs for their ability to provide food on the table)
There is a problem with apps, but we should look at it from another angle. We all know that in the app store and play market popular apps become more popular over time and it is difficult for smaller companies to promote their products even if their solution is better.

App market is now a market of couple dozens of apps that make up the most amount of revenue.
For small developers, there is a too little chance to be seen at all.

Actually, the whole article makes sense. Nowadays, we all see that it's difficult for small startups to promote themselves. The privilege on major platforms is given to those who pay more(ex: Google). Even if one company gains enough traction and begins to become successful, another larger corporation buys it (in best case) or makes everything to not let small competitor get larger market share. That'a a very big problem that if not solved will result in a slower progress rate.
> Envy is the most powerful of them all.

Do you know of online resources to get a feel for Envy? I'm not finding much, mostly obscure hints that this awesome version control system exists, without anything concrete. There are excerpts of a book on Google Books, but that doesn't help much either.
Ah, I've never been in that situation before. Many of us often overtime because we want to get something accomplished, not just for or even primarily for the company's good. That we get paid to do what we love is kind of a bonus, but it isn't the main motivator(well, we need jobs that are interesting enough, and we need money to provide for the family).

Ask HN: Why are we as a society unable to account for negative externalities?
It doesn't seem like there are many hinderances to incorporating the costs of negative externalities into our products.

We have accurate data on what the costs are, we have the rule of law, foreign actors who do not abide by the same regulation can be taxed or banned. Why do we not simply charge corporations for external harm they do so that costs can can be passed on to customers thereby adjusting demand of harmful products appropriately? What is the blocker?

ML engineers wanted for creative projects / future collaboration
Hi there,

Artist with a background in programming looking for more technical programmer to help me deploy a few deep learning libraries for a creative project. Happy to pay if it's a hassle.

The libraries are:

- https://github.com/manuelruder/artistic-videos

- https://github.com/ryankiros/neural-storyteller

I need help selecting a server to run this on (or the pros and cons of running on a non-GPU machine), and general set up as I've hit some frustrating road blocks.

If you're interested (or know someone who would be) and want to collaborate on some fun creative projects with this technology, get in touch and I'll tell you more about me and my work!

luismqueral@gmail.com
I'm 40, worked in the SF bay area, San Diego, Vienna, and now Portland. Office cultures are definitely different in each city, but the chances of running into a major-league asshat goes up significantly in the areas where there's a ton of money and risk taking.

Things often become wacky are when you have a massive glut of growth, thus, you get a ton of people hired into "senior" positions without actually having to know anything.

I remember my first "senior" title was after having about 1-2 years of experience. Everyone was like that, they threw titles around like mad, in part because I think it made the company look smarter on paper for an acquisition.

Anyhow, I avoid places that seem to inflate egos and expectations, and I've had far fewer issues with age-ism. You just have to be prepared to move on when the environment gets toxic in any way.
> It’s funny how the older you get the more you realize that when someone starts to spout they’re trying to saving the world, they’re covering up some type of scheme to make money and make the world a shittier place.

I agree with all the points the OP made for self-driving car downfalls, but I still think that the people working on the tech have the best intentions.

It's just that we as humans do a bad job of having foresight and the critical analysis skills necessary to truly assess the whole of a technology, and not just the good parts. Maybe that reflects well on humans as it hints at an optimistic nature?

I see the potential benefits of self-driving cars, but am worried that the medium-term to long-term negative points will outweigh the positive. There should really be a council of techies, representatives, legal experts, and most importantly average citizens that sit down and heavily critique this technology to address all the negative points before it becomes widespread.

Considering there's a shortage of labour supply in this industry, if you're good enough, at some point it is you who is screening candidate companies you'd like to work with and not the other around. And just as it's hard for companies to find the right candidates, it's hard for you to really tell how work is gonna be like with any given company. Things like ageism, culture-fit crap, ping-pong tables benefits (instead of better pay) are all great hints that give away places you don't wanna work in. Not just because those things are bad by themselves, but also they reveal a lack of moral principles that's gonna be reflected later on in the job in many other ways.
On a related note - Recently I've noticed that pricing, or more specifically menu selection, is also happening in brick and mortar shops.

Going to a McDonald's, I noticed their menu boards went displaying children's meals or value items during my last visit - looking around the window and floor ads, I did see mention of discount items available but nothing in the menu-board slideshow.. Didn't think of asking at the time, thought it was odd, now I have come to realized they were gaming me for higher sales items.

Now will stick to establishments with printed menus and non-video menu boards.
I would love to increase my focus. Even if I force myself to sit tight, often times I catch myself reading paragraphs after paragraphs all the while thinking about something else. Meditation can help? What else?
If you are looking for 100+ developers who already know it, maybe you'll have trouble. But it's absolutely not an issue hiring 20s of developers quickly. I work at company company whose done just this. Felt it important to put this counter example, even though many others have already.

> you really need to have someone to own the entire firmware lifecycle

Which is, in my mind, why having “internal clients” for your hardware in the form of a firmware department would make so much sense to me. Especially if the firmware team had ultimate authority over hardware edge-case behaviour: instead of hardware teams being lazy and passing the buck for “sanding off the edges” to complex firmware, the firmware team could be lazy and force the hardware teams to “sand off the edges” themselves.

This is what you see in (some) old-school videogame console companies, at the time when the ISA was the API: since the hardware company also developed the SDK, various BIOSes, and even games, the needs of these internal clients pushed the hardware teams into making the hardware itself “user-friendly” (i.e. obeying the Principle if Least Surprise.)
I see no problem with correcting it, as long as the old URL still redirects to the new one (to avoid breaking links from other web sites).

But they may not even be aware of the typo. Once they put the link on their site, they probably never had to look at the URL again.
It's not about apps being worse, but about good apps are difficult to discover. Now, the conditions are that if you have larger budget, you are considered better for major platforms. That's the real problem.
Someone did the math on this, right? I thought the amount of revenue generated was a complete pittance.

More likely, this is just something sites start doing on top of advertising.

Another interesting point that I don't think is brought up at all is how self-driving tech will impact children. The legal driving age requirements will likely become obsolete.

Can school children take a self-driving car to school every day? Will this increase traffic significantly? How long until a hacker takes control of a car and abducts the child inside? How safe do parents really feel letting their kids be in this machine on their own? etc.
Wow that is awesome. Good work!

LNG is 85-95% methane, typically, with ethane making up most of the rest. It contains small amounts of propane and butane.

I hadn't known that SpaceX was using a special grade of ~100% liquefied CH4 as nickik says above.

EDIT: shale gas is richer in ethane and higher hydrocarbons than traditional sources of natural gas. Maybe SpaceX is sticking to 100% methane just so they don't have to ponder variability of composition depending on how gas is being extracted.

Disregarding the new applications enabled by the medium, think of it as simply a new display form factor. Once the quality exceeds the best flat screens we can produce, having one unobtrusively attached to your eyes at all times becomes a no-brainer (from a cost-benefit perspective; obviously there are lifestyle-altering implications that each individual will have to embrace or reject on their own terms).

In 1989 I bought a backpack from NorthFace. It is still the backpack that I use. It has been all over the world. It has been on countless hikes and adventures. It is damn near indestructible.

I have the impression that NorthFace later retreated from quality. I suppose this was to boost profits? In 2010 I got a cheap daypack which has bears the NorthFace branch. It gave out after 2 or 3 years. Not terrible, but nothing like the backpack.

I divide the two missions into "need to know" and "want to learn" and focus on producing when building something.

For example, I needed to learn how to use CouchDB to upgrade a web app I maintain so I spent the time necessary to get that done by working on it a piece at a time and learning what I needed to know as I went along.

CouchDB does a lot that I didn't need to do, and while I want to learn more about some of it, and will get to that, I didn't need to learn about it all in-depth to be productive and get the job done.

I wanted to learn a bit about using HTML5 animations to create graphic gauges for digital sensors so I spent enough time narrowly focused on that until I reached a point that accomplished what I was wanting to do.

What I ended up with was a hack because the first thing I did was look for existing code examples and libraries to interface with the sensor I purchased (a magnetometer). This approach allowed me to prototype a digital compass very quickly and gain an high level understanding of what's necessary to accomplish that, and it worked surprisingly well.
>they will decrease the premiums

Idk, I was told point blank that my premiums went up because the company/local insurance agent was struggling. Had nothing to do with my driving.

I might get some sticker price reduction, but I'll end up paying for it down the line somewhere. Insurance isn't primarily about the collective good, so despite technology making us safer, they still have to make profits.
