I hope people agree it’s totally appropriate, and appreciated, thank you for reposting it.

This is most of the reason I come here, because people show the good will to share bits of knowledge and experience.

Then a whole other benefit, is that when people are willing to do this, their contribution might be critiqued or corrected, which can then sharpen or polish your knowledge and thinking even in areas where you might be very qualified.

For some people this would be a nightmare, if they can easily feel angry or hurt when their intellect is challenged, especially when they are an “expert” on the subject.

But I suspect most people here feel the opposite. You found a flaw in my results or reasoning? Fucking awesome, you have just make me stronger.

edit: I don’t know many other online forums where this dynamic exists, so if anyone does please don’t keep it a secret.
Thanks for all the feedback, will definitely take a deeper look. About the personal assistant, the assistant is supposed to answer basic questions and nothing in details, it's a real person btw.

> It's not the product, I strongly believe we have a decent product.

Belief is irrelevant. How do you validate the product offering with the target market? Are there really people who aren't freelancing now because this service isn't available?

Second, if you do believe in your product, why is the offering you highlighted focused on future features and future performance of your company to sell it? That would tell me, as a potential customer, that you don't believe the current product features justify the price. And if you don't seem to believe that, why should I think you'll be able to do anything in the future that would make future features or shares meaningful?
Opening a new location is sometimes a last ditch effort to save a company.

With a new location, you get new staff who don't need paying till month end, new things to say to investors when looking for money, new opportunities to get the public to "sign up for a years membership in advance" to both help cashflow and make revenue look better to investors, etc.
>I'd bet that 80% of computer users just store their password in the built-in browser password managers (without even a Master password set) and be done with it.

The misconception here is that setting a master password provides any real security. It isn't much different if you use a master password or not, once you have autofill, you're already compromised in that threat model.

I think this is the bulk of the problem. There's nothing in the technology to say that that a website or game must bend over backwards with "engagement" bullshit and microtransaction teases instead of just being a good reading/playing experience. It's a socioeconomic and cultural problem, and blaming the technology isn't going to solve any of it.

Many people have this issue. People are very busy, so dating a colleague met at a work-related event is probably very common.

Think beyond the article: why him, why now, and who benefits?
Tl;dr - Looking at the raw numbers outside of the context that supports them and the expenses that come with them is a bit misleading.

First, I think it's an oversimplification of the U.S. to overlook that salaries vary widely here as well. Someone in NYC or SF may make 2–3x that of a person in a similar role in a small city. And a very senior person on the coasts can make 5–10x what a junior dev would in a small city.

Usually when authors compare figures in articles they attach to the coastal numbers instead of giving more honest comparisons by city or state.

Another factor is cost of living. $150k in SF sounds like a lot of money but roughly half of that covers rent, transportation, taxes, etc. Healthcare is very expensive here too. In SF or NYC, food is expensive as well. In some countries, $15 covers enough food for the day or more, in SF that might cover lunch.

One more is that the demand for good experienced programmers in the U.S. outweighs the supply for various reasons. We have the biggest tech companies in the world, so Google for instance can afford to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to retain the best talent since they make roughly $1M in revenue per employee.

Head First books were a great help back when I was starting with programming. I was a teenager and not as comfortable with English as I am now.

Books like Head First Java and Head First Web Design helped me a great deal. I don't know if I would read them as my first option nowadays, but they definitively have their use and are great at what they aim at.
The education industry is kind of a racket. The state pays to send children to 13 years of schooling, but at the end they haven't learned much of anything. Someone here at HN had this comment about their experience:

"Really just screw public school in general. The whole place was 95% waste of time followed by a 'congratulatory' piece of paper." -https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14047919

If a politician was courageous, and didn't care about getting re-elected, they'd point out that the system could be fixed by getting rid of Kindergarten, replacing 1st and 2nd grade with structured activities instead of 'classroom time' (prison for children), replacing high school with something more like community college, and allowing the remaining years to be much more flexible - conducted for the learner's benefit, rather than the system's...

But school has been transformed from an important social institution into a jobs project. Children & teachers are both trapped.

>There are a lot of pictures. [...] highly visual format,

Thank you for your response. To clarify, I'm not an elitist that rejects cartoons and informal style. For example, I think the "Calculus for Dummies"[1] with the cartoons is a good math book.

I'm also not really not talking about the visual "clutter" that others complain about either.

Cartoons are fine but I prefer that the drawings/illustrations really impart knowledge or insight rather than "decorate" a book's page like wallpaper.

For example, I looked at "Head First Networking"[2]. Using Amazon's "Look inside" feature to browse some pages:

- page 1: the clipart of the man and woman and the thought bubbles do not reward the user with quality knowledge in relation to the space they take up

- page 19: the clipart of the tourist with the arrows and thought bubble does not actually teach a networking concept

My point is: just because a book has cartoons & unserious style doesn't mean it has good presentation of teaching. It might be a suboptimal book that just happened to use cartoons.

Another way to put it: Comics can be a very powerful way to illustrate concepts but their power is underutilized in the Head First books. The cartoons are often "jokes" instead of teaching.

>which, to many people, reads as non-serious

Similar to cartoons, I have similar complaints about "conversational style" that many authors think helps with pedagogy but it really doesn't. (You can explain things terribly while using a conversational tone, and likewise, explain things clearly with a serious tone.) I'll save that criticism of that for another essay.

What's "SV character"?
Really? To me the article reads like moral mccarthyism. He sounds like a not nice person to be around, like a bad husband, but really, really, this is national news:

'And, indeed, multiple women whom Recode interviewed said their sexual relationships with Jurvetson were not forced, and did not involve an implicit workplace quid-pro-quo.

While the allegations do not resemble the scandals that have forced other powerful Silicon Valley men out of their jobs in recent months, they do shed some light on what investigators found.

“He’d sort of create a soap opera for himself,” said one of the women who dated Jurvetson, who requested anonymity to protect her career. “He lied to us.”`

and especially his part:

'A second woman who dated Jurvetson told Recode she was searching for career opportunities in venture capital and startups. The woman, who declined to give her real name out of professional concerns, said she only later realized he was also dating the first woman, although she herself was also seeing other men in what she described as an off-again, on-again relationship with Jurvetson.'

What is the scandal here, or the story even?

I would call it a consequence of supply management. Once you get past the headline, you soon see this has nothing to do with education at all. Rather, these professions have created a regulatory environment where only those who buy into it are allowed to participate. This artificially limits the supply of workers to artificially inflate incomes. If the 'quota' was freely accessible to anyone then the whole reason for the supply management would be lost altogether.
For electronics, the book format is excellent. Analog design principles are not going to change anytime soon, and the Art of Electronics does an excellent job developing theoretical knowledge, an active intuition for what's going on, and provides a wide variety of samples.

Don't bother with the microconroller and part selection recommendations -- in my experience, those things were fairly out of date.

I’m curious how they pulled it off. Did the drug war work? What about the re-intensification of hostilities with FARC? Was Colombia’s drop in violence just the flip side of Mexico’s explosion in it?

As a CEO, I would be annoyed too.

If I have exclusive sale of a high end brand of sneakers I have commissioned, and they don't sell well, I decide to destroy half the stock.

The other half of the stock, I expect will sell.

If however, the 'destroyed' stock is taken by employees and donated to the charity shop down the street, who then sell it at half price to the public, as well as hurting my high end brand (now people think they're cheap shoes!), it also hurts my sales (everyone has already bought them from the charity shop).

What people miss here is that the main value was in the design and brand of the product. Destroying the physical shoes is a tiny loss. Distributing that brand and design to the public is the big loss.
I went ahead and paid the 10 bucks for a subscription and was able to get everything setup with a FIDO U2F YubiKey in under 10 minutes. The 1PIF import was flawless.

The only complaint I have is it appears the FIDO support is limited in Firefox, but I believe that's a Firefox issue based on what I've seen in other applications.

I had a great time in Colombia a few years back (Cali, Bogotá, Medellín, Baranquilla and Cartegena, be prepared to sweat buckets with the last two though!). I would say you do still need to take basic precautions to avoid trouble (like taking taxis home after a night out instead of trying to walk home) but I felt safe, I heard more stories about Mexico than Colombia at the time, the drug war seems to be a bigger issue in Mexico these days, and I felt safe in Mexico too. Honestly, if I hadn't run out of money whilst I was travelling, I could have quite happily moved to Central or South America.

Smart forward looking decision.
With files and reasonably secure passwords you are probably using copy-paste to move the passwords. Keeping sensitive information on clipboard is a risk. Not just because of malware, you might also accidentally paste the information to wrong place.

Browser plugins can have issues, but they also improve security by only allowing you the enter the password when legitimate domain is requesting it. With copy-paste approach you might enter the password to some phishing site (obviously browser plugins can introduce their own security issues, so this is a trade-off).

Dedicated applications may take steps to protect the sensitive information in the memory while a normal text editor probably does not do that. With AES encrypted file you would need to think the workflow to make sure the unencrypted contents is not exposed for example via temporary files. Dedicated appliation can also automatically lock the contents after some timeout, with text files you need to take care this manually.
After getting the gist from that video and from personal experience freelancing, I would say the major pain points for freelancers are:

a) Clients being slow on delivery of requirements/content but once they deliver it, they want things done urgently

b) Clients being slow to sign off stuff after delivery

c) Late payments after a lot of chasing

Documentation and NDAs can vary from client to client and is usually initiated from their side.

These are my experiences, others may have a different perspective.
A perennial: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Bit%20Twiddling%20Hacks&sort=b...
In spring I drove 500 km in Norway between Oslo and Bergen in a leased eGolf from 2016. The whole trip took 9 hours versus 7.5 hours in an ICE car. The extra time is just time at quick charging stations that I had to use 4 times. The trip is over mountains with over 1Km up and that kills the battery much quicker than the promised 200km of range.

On a more flatter terrain around Oslo the car could go around 150km. This is more than enough for any kind of shopping. The newer eGolf almost doubles the range making it absolutely non-issue if one gets car today.

The real reason is why electrical car has not been popular with less wealthy people is that cars in Norway are heavily taxed making one a heavy investment that one sticks to and people here are rather conservative. But attitude is changing.

Those banks made bad decisions and instead of paying the cost (in evolutionary capitalism) of being frozen, orderly split up and re-processed among members of the market to re-define their value factor the banks were rewarded.

I had hoped that they would be properly refactored so that the people could benefit from that change instead of the corporations. Maybe if that had happened the correction our house pricing so desperately needs could have happened.
The article attributes it partially to the force against FARC used during Uribe’s presidency which was backed by US money (Plan Colombia) and labelled as the war on drugs. So I’d say it had some effect.

One possible solution would be peer to peer curation where each peer curate its own content and where you can (this is a feature of the software / network) "follow" or "trust" others peers or organizations, and break this link when you find something weird about them or don't trust them anymore. It's obviously what we already do but there's no general framework to gather theses data in one place and create our own personalized search engine. This doesn't immediately solve the "fake news" or "payed reviews" issues but would let people that are concerned by it, to hide theses content in their web surfing.

This would be also a very pro active process on the user side, and you would need people interested in that in order to build the software or network, there is a long way to convince regular people about the utility of such a tool and active approach.
The system cannot easily be fixed. Some students might be able to get by with just 12 years of schooling, for some jobs. Some students may need 18 years of schooling to be able to effectively hold down a minimum-wage job.

Most students who go into skilled trades probably need at least 12 years of schooling. But knowing which 12 years is the hard part. Sure, somebody who knows they want to be an electrician at the age of 10 can probably be competent by 18, but we shouldn't be locking people into that kind of flat job progression.

Even if we accept that simple trade schools are the ideal, I'd still argue we should be encouraging people to study a liberal mix of arts taking 17-20 years (just with liberal arts mixing trades instead of academics.)
The two photos in that article tell two different stories. I wonder why.

This is where I am with this. I already have an efficient onboarding and process procedure in place and it's as automated as I would want it to be since client needs vary so much and the onboarding needs to vary just as much.

I "really" don't need or want yet another website/portal for my business to deal with either. Having the onboarding on someone else's subdomain is not an ideal solution at any time.

This doesn't solve any problems for most freelancers that I know, they already have these processes in place. And it's very expensive IMO for what is essentially form processing.

Unless I'm mistaken, new electric cars in Norway have a subsidy of almost 50%, and are exempt from highway tolls.

So your stats have to be viewed through a heavy prism: it's not a customer trend as much as a government push.
ICE cars in Norway enjoy a 25% sales tax and quite a lot of taxes for the co2 emisions, engine size etc. Most low end cars end up just short of 100% in taxes, high end cars up to 200%, and luxury cars are a lot more.

Electric cars would not sell anywhere near as good if they weren't exempt from taxes and cost twice as much as they do now.
