I am available to start working immediately.
I disagree completely, a single page application can be used on any of those platforms in browser and doesn't require Electron at all.
Cutting spending without addressing costs just shifts the burden to people less able to pay for it. And I, for one, am not convinced anything is good just because Obama advocated for it.
The DC-3 wasn't (originally) a turboprop.
I second the recommendation of "The Design of Everyday Things". I read it in college and it influenced my perspective on nearly everything I build. Not just UIs, although that's what the book is about at first sight.
You think paid shills are giving you the down votes?

Ron Paul criticized Space X for getting John McCain to put a provision into the Senate Bill that favored Space X.

1) This provision is not IN the Senate bill.
2) The provision doesn't hurt Space X, but it doesn't directly do anything for them either.
3) The provision is in a House bill, and was put there by a congressman from Alabama, not John McCain.

People don't like blatant factual errors. You can criticize Musk all you want, but it must be for things that are actually happening in reality.

Because of the factual errors in the criticism of Space X, and the fact that they appear to be coordinated, if there are any PR firms influencing this debate nefariously, its likely on the other side.
Skiplagged - New York, NY | ONSITE | Frontend Engineer

Our mission is to make it easier to experience the world. We provide an innovative travel service that actually saves people a lot of money on airfare and hotels. We are a group of improvers and frequent travelers. We believe consumers should have more power over how they spend their money. Information = power in our books. We grew tired of the inefficient and expensive process of travel planning so we sought to improve it by creating a lightning fast search portal. We also noticed there were no travel companies that truly worked for the consumers benefit so we changed that.

If you're interested email us your resume at apply@skiplagged.com

I have a wife and a couple of kids. I'm maxing out the 401k and two Roth IRAs (one for me, one for wife) and saving $3k/month on top of that in post-tax.

I did relocate from the SF Bay Area to a more affordable place to live. That helped make it easier to save more. But even in the SF Bay Area it was possible to save. But it got harder with a family.

I did get lucky and married a spouse that does tend towards the frugal/less materialistic side. I do think a lot of people are open to change though if you can, over time, align your goals and try to show the big picture.

But to get back to the main point -- the thread poster feels like their back is up against the wall. I agree with the other posters that it isn't quite as dire as the picture painted. But I also agree it's good to hedge against it and if that is important, some sacrifices seem like a small price to pay to not be destitute.
question can be softened as "what would you change in the company?"
Really? Half the population has had to continuously, thanklessly, and systemically lug around the emotional weight of the other half for centuries, and you consider this a distraction? I'd say this issue is at the very core of gender politics. The more we're aware of it, the happier we'll be in our relationships and our lives. I've learned it's a massive blind spot in my own emotional intelligence and I'm thankful my eyes have been opened.

Allow yourself to become a better person.

The last thing to do is adding a bunch of pro-SJW topics and you got another Verge/Vox/Polygon.
Generally you can only pay taxes in a specific currency. Deflationary currency's lower debt risks which is a really nice feature when paying taxes, so considering taxes such a large expense deflationary currency's become far more appealing than you might think.

You also reduce risks by paying taxes in the same currency you conduct business in. So, while having large savings in deflationary currency is not a great idea, for the average person deflationary currency's are surprisingly appealing.

PS: Remember, many things like socks are valued in USD, but are not actually USD. Total USD supply is actually fairly low per person limiting average losses from inflation.
Boomkat | Freelance | Manchester, UK or REMOTE | Full Stack Developer

We are an established online music store (https://boomkat.com) specialising in experimental music. We’re currently in the process of building a new platform in order to deliver the best possible experience for our customers.

Encompassing a download store and ecommerce functionality for our physical sales, it’s a sizeable project. With over 100,000 customers and millions of releases, we operate at a scale which represents some unique challenges and opportunities. Our goal for the new platform development is to enhance our customer experience; making full use of data we house to help customers discover new music through an interface that’s beautiful and engaging. This will lay the foundations for an exciting second phase where we plan to break new ground in delivering novel and unexpected interactions with our music.

The new website is built in Ruby on Rails, and uses React.js and Redux heavily on the front end. The process of ingesting, analysing and preparing content is handled by a series of Node.js based micro-services.

We’re a small, fast moving team with a wide range of skills. We’re based in Manchester, with a number of team members working remotely. We’re looking for a skilled, detail oriented Javascript developer to join us.

Someone who would enjoy this role will have:

- A thorough understanding of React and Redux, and working knowledge of Ruby on Rails.

- Good working knowledge of responsive design processes and techniques and common tools such as Bootstrap 4

- Experience delivering cross-platform applications for the web; particularly in a mobile environment.

- Plenty of experience writing well structured and tested code, in a continuous delivery process.

- An ability to work quickly, whilst still maintaining a robust and stable codebase.

This is a freelance position with an optional retainer agreement.

How to Apply

If you’re interested please get in touch with us at bang@boomkat.com - please include your CV, Github link, average day rate, etc.

thanks!
I am absolutely not surprised that people who are more at risk of stomach cancer... get stomach cancer. Notice how the study found no causal link. Indeed, the last paragraph in the article confirms that it’s probably because the people who are prescribed PPIs are already sick. (Side note: I’m one of those people who’s probably on them for life unless I want to die horribly of esophageal cancer like my father did.)
Thank you so much! I'm tired of all the goddamn Philistine's that have dunning-kurger'd themselves into thinking that deflationary currency is a good idea and inflation is a central bank conspiracy.

That said

>It will probably need to have constant money supply growth and preferably money supply growth that matches economic needs and not some algorithm’s hard, mathematical constraint

Why not have a "hard math" algorithm which looks at the trade volume in the blocks and adjusts accordingly.
> I worked hard to pay for my college education, now I'm in part paying for her bad decisions, my share of her support could be spent on a widget I want instead.

This approaches self-parody, especially when you consider the type of lifestyle anybody can live solely on government assistance in this country.
PlanGrid (YCW12) | San Francisco | Full-time, On-Site | Visa

We’re building software that is changing the construction process (think GitHub for construction). Our users love our app because it helps them build real things more efficiently. By joining our team you can influence product decisions and work on interesting technical challenges (our client apps work with GBs of blueprints and metadata). Our engineering teams are small; whatever team you work on, you'll have a chance to have a big impact.

We’re hiring across all of our engineering teams: Android, Web, iOS, Windows, Backend (Python).

You can see our job postings and apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/plangrid?lever-via=SzsN-_Jgq1

As an example, here's a detailed post about what working on the iOS team looks like: https://medium.com/plangrid-technology/working-on-the-plangr...
Socialist =! communist. Allende's government doesn't have much in common with Soviet Unions brutal authoritarian communism, which is the only practical form of large scale communism as per history. Allende socialized some small parts of his economy (only coal?), but it was mostly a market economy even during his height of popularity.

Also, there's a lot to say about cybernetics and how a lot of it is pretty dead and for good reasons. I imagine most people see the cool Star Trek-like control room and enjoy Cybersyn on a visual design level than a "this was a good idea for government" level.

I think its obvious that authoritarian governments do poorly with information technology, outside of whats needed for military dominance, due to its democratizing effects. The SU couldn't have a Western-style internet because it would have become a political threat to the SU and strangled in the cradle.

Allende was a little left of, say, France, who had a system like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel

France's Minitel network doesn't get enough ink, imo. Its impressive this proto-web network took off. We're talking nearly 10m sales in a country that had about 50m people at the time. France Telecom estimates 25m people had access to Minitels, so half the population. 50% wired in 1980s is very, very impressive.
Are you disgreeing with him/her? I cannot tell lol.

May you please elaborate on this
> Apple is fundamentally different.

What you said is just a little confusing considering that they all (the companies you mentioned) manufacturer hardware in some capacity.
I would really like a simple NLP algorithm that combs candidate profiles and identifies undervalued candidates.
Firebaser here! Its dependent on Google Analytics for Firebase one web - so, we need to get that in first!
I got a VPS at OVH which claims to have "triple data replication". One day it crashed at root password reset (they forced me to reset the root password). I contacted them but they said I have to reinstall the VPS. wtf? I told them that they have the data replicated. They replied with "Yes, the data is replicated but the data is corrupted. So you still have to reinstall the OS". Never trust marketing quotes, do regular backups and never choose the lowest price :)
The blog post has some flawed arguments, but still there is almost no observability/tracing tools for unikernels.
It's not like you need to spin up a separate JVM for each command.
Would this be a fair assessment: ?

Facebook, Microsoft and Google collect all your private information and share it with themselves, the government and some with the advertisement industry.

Apple collects some of your private information and is forced to share it with themselves, Nuance and the government (subvertly see snowden and interpolate).

Amazon is in a special position.
> Why do you feel like you need root access?

Because I'm a developer and I need to install things to develop. For whatever reason, the vast majority of windows packages require admin to install.

If you think it's great that I have to open a ticket to IT every time I want to update VSCode or install Python or Node or whatever, that's good for you, but I find it cumbersome and annoying and would rather work for a company that gives me root and trusts that I won't install viruses.
But you still need some technical skill... Otherwise you could just hire some soccer player (outgoing teamplayer. etc.) and you're good.
True, the President is vindictive. I wonder if we can use this. Send in someone who pretends to be anti renewable energy and then piss off Trump so Trump will praise solar power.
I think "fit" is referring to ability to get along with the rest of the team, regardless of ability to do the job. They aren't quite opposites, but they are mostly unrelated.
Good point on ReportURI having better abilities to detect false reports. It's not mentioned (at least, not on the front page; I've not delved), but definitely their larger dataset will make it much simpler to blacklist IPs suspected of sending faked reports / spotting patterns to remove false data.

I believe the benefit of having users' browsers report this over a crawler is for scenarios where pages attempt to display your content from another site (e.g. in an iframe behind an overlay for a click-jacking attack). You'd never know to monitor that URL / wouldn't know that the site was hosting your content from any of your metrics; but the users browsers would report it.

In terms of "why report it if they know to block it anyway", I believe the idea is to improve security for others; i.e. we're no longer relying on users having the latest browser to be protected; so long as one user had a browser good enough to spot the issue, we can be made aware that there's a risk out there.
Xamarin + native UIs
Forms Matter
I quite disagree. This to me is a rather capable individual I'd hire simply because they are a good adaptive problem solver. Problem: Stupid interviews. Solution: game the system to get what that person wants, a job.
I've enjoyed using Aiven's hosted Kafka. Can't comment on the other services that offer hosted solutions. I was originally going to go with Kinesis, but there were certain latency issues that didn't make sense for our application. I don't remember the specifics, but I seem to recall something about monster latency occasionally cropping up in Kinesis.
> Why would you want to "praise" a company. [...] Make sure it's known that you're buying their product because they support your interests.

That's commonly known as praising a company. "Thanks, Apple, for supporting privacy!"
The whole thing doesn't even make sense. We used to have a monopoly that cost a whole bunch of money. If Elon Musk can do it for less, then he's breaking up the original monopoly.
Didn't their economy plummet because of their president?
Apple has been doing that thing for ages.

And much of the stuff on the Linux side seems to be driven by upstream (Flatpak in particular has come out of the Gnome camp), and is riding the "containerization fever".
It's use as fuel for transactions is its application. Gold's intrinsic value is very very tiny relative to its price. Same with Bitcoin's.

Regardless of how AMD CPUs compare against Intel CPUs, we need AMD to provide competition.

Personally, I greatly enjoy my 1950X, as it provides just about double the performance per dollar compared to Intel's offerings. But I can see how that assessment would not be true for others, especially gamers and servers.

But just look what the last year brought us in terms of performance and price from both AMD and Intel, after several years of stagnation from Intel, and duds from AMD. AMD revived the CPU market, by providing competition. We need AMD.
Native UI on Windows and iOS. Android and macOS are on the roadmap. FMX is a good UI/graphics toolkit too - runs on the GPU etc.
Reading about all of this is so surreal for me as a German. I read about these "great" policy and all I can think is ... "so, they do the minimum required" .. what's there to praise? Then I remember how US (companies) tend to think about privacy and get very sad. Stronger penalties for anyone breaking relevant privacy rules cannot come fast enough.
I worked for a company that released control software for audio hardware. I was the only GUI developer (the only guy writing the frontend app), and there was another dev who wrote firmware and a network communication library that I used in the app.

The GUI used wxWidgets using C++ and included a 3D section for system layout (using OpenGL). All of the 2D GUI controls for the rest of the system were "owner-drawn" which means that they overrode the ::OnPaint and drew themselves so as to look different than native controls (as audio systems always have to "look different").

This means buttons, toggle buttons, radio controls, control surfaces, sliders, meters, compressor meters, knobs, graphs, charts, lists, grids, EQ control graphs, everything. There were no native controls other than in popup dialogs (like saving/exporting). It redraw every 50ms based on data that it was receiving over the network from a series of hardware, with this data logged and processed in background threads. It used less than 1% CPU and a fraction of the RAM mentioned here for a chat app, even with cached in-memory bitmaps that it generated in code for drawing.

This ran on Mac OS, Windows and Linux. This means a native binary on each system. It can be done.

It is wrong to say that this embedded-web-app way is the "only way" of doing it. Not to be rude, but it just means that the devs can't be bothered to do it another way.

And that was me writing all of it, plus one guy who did the networking library. Two of us.

How can they "not have the resources"?
Bitcoin can be destroyed, but in theory the limit never increases. Thus, Bitcoin will fail given a long enough time-frame eventually there will be less than 1 bitcoin left in circulation.

Granted, most currency's don't last all that long, but their are not enough accuracy to last say 20,000 years.

Poll: Should WhoIsHiring recommend disclosure of salary range?
HN's monthly WhoIsHiring post does not mention disclosure of salary range; users must upvote these manually.

The post currently excludes "recruiting firms or job boards", and limits to "One post per company", so there is precedent for additional guidelines.

Should HN's monthly WhoIsHiring post recommend disclosure of salary range?
Yes, require disclosure of salary range and encourage downvoting when missing
Yes, require disclosure of salary range
Yes, recommend disclosure of salary range
No, but users should downvote when disclosure of salary range is missing
No, manual upvoting is enough

I would say the bottom quintile Americans is doing orders of magnitude better than the bottom quintile of Chinese. Maybe even bottom half. This is probably true when comparing any developed nation to a developing nation.

300MB is what I see trying to run the MS Teams client. So I don't bother and use a browser instead.
I think the parent poster was talking about the ads inside the app store itself, not Apple's ad service.
