The example is useful, thanks. I see that there's $125k of cap gains to pay for a move to a property of the same price. You're calling that a loss though, and I'm not sure I see it that way. Sure, if house prices hadn't gone up you could have moved from a $1M house to another $1M house and paid nothing. But in your example you're still $875k "in profit", so it's not really a loss, it's just a cost associated with a lateral move in the same area. If you downsize you actually realize some of those gains - of course not all of them because tax must be paid, but there's no avoiding taxes :)
Enpass is pretty good on Linux.
The other failure you need for this to happen is a line-to-output short, which is unlikely to happen in Apple's chargers, which are very well built.
Yes, Emacs stands for "eight megabytes and constantly swapping". How silly this sounds today.

I wonder why do those people even care.

The only time I look at my resource usage is when apps start to behave funny. Or when it's an app that I am developing. Other than that, why should one care?

One argument could be made that they are using memory wastefully. Not sure that's the case. The baseline memory consumption is higher, so what? It's a tradeoff. It's easier to build a better editor using browser-based tools, as much as I like Elisp. Over time Atom and VSCode will close the gap.

Now, if there is a memory leak, or memory increases non-linearly with the workload, than it could be a problem. VI and Emacs are pretty great with large files (Emacs not so great with long lines), browser-based editors usually do not work as well. But there is no reason they shouldn't, it just takes engineering effort.
Why do you need your own coin? What value would your own coin bring to anyone else?

Not understanding your complaint.
You would have to sell your house for more than $1.5M to have any taxable capital gains. You would have to sell your house for more than $2.5m to have an effective tax rate of more than 10% on the sale. (For example, if you sold your house for $2m, your effective tax rate on the sale would be 5%, ignoring AMT and assuming no other significant sources of income.) Boo hoo.

On the second point: the only cash you need to come up with is the down payment for the new house, which you would get out of the proceeds from selling your old house. If you sold your house for 2x the purchase price, you have more than enough cash to pay the down payment. Boo hoo.

Complaints like yours are why people outside of the Bay Area really hate Silicon Valley.
TLDR: This is digital identity obfuscation for web privacy. Advertising and marketing networks have gotten exceptionally good at tracking people across the web. For example, if you have a Google account, you can go into your Settings for Google Ads to see your Age/Gender inference.[1]

Of course that happened. Not all chargers are the same. The music version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioAq7PI1Uwg
How well do these tools generally handle poor latency?

I often work remotely over 3G/4G. Voice is fine, as is simple screen sharing of stuff like Trello boards in a meeting. I tried Slack's screen collaboration and it was hardly usable though.
I am assuming you are making an overstatement. Even then, you are really mislead if you really think someone who knows the basics of control structures is going to get a job in the industry.
That’s actually very common in most languages. English is one of the few western languages that doesn’t do this, which makes it quite complicated for some people to write sentences in it, as in their native language such far backreferences, and long run-on sentences may be a lot more common.
We can't even form a useful moral argument about it until we know its effects

Of course we can. It's ok for people to donate their money and time for this kind of experiment. It's not ok for governments to tax citizens for a new social giveaway unless others social benefits are reduced accordingly (which will never happen).
In all fairness, I can see wanting to, say, downsize and move to a more walkable community relatively nearby. (Or, for that matter, move out of an expensive urban condo and move somewhere with more room--although that will harder in the Bay area specifically.) To the degree that market value of the two is similar, the financial hit will be substantial.

But a lot of this is true with moving generally when you're living somewhere that's OK but isn't really optimal for you any longer.
Define "soundly". Follow the rules and it won't break. Will it break if someone memcpys some object internals or something? Sure. Just don't do that. The rules that make this abstraction robust in C++ are easy to follow, just like the rule that says "don't use unsafe" in Rust. Just like Rust, you can break the rule if you know what you're doing.
Switch schools or districts, change neighbors, move closer to work, change floorplans, move closer to family, etc.
There are some valid points here. Too bad the author felt like taking the least objective possible tone and liberally using half truths and false equivalence was the way to present them.

I don't disagree that theres a lot of room and a some benefits to reducing meat consumption. But I don't think that's the same as it being sensible for everyone to be vegan.

There are plenty of options outside torture also. But the fear of unbreakableness is persistent, just as is those who believe torture to work or to be okay.

The fundamental underpinnings of any related correct and incorrect behavior is still emotional though. And that is also why loaded words such as "terrorism" get the ball rolling fast, regardless of which way that ball is rolling...
Hopefully that will start to change with Firefox Quantum, which in my brief experience has been fantastic.
Sublime is still faster.

But try VSCode. I do not notice any lag on the Mac.

I still prefer Emacs due to the maturity of its packages. But I have used VSCode for a month and I have no complaints about the performance.

Subtle.

On-topic, I remember recently Uber and Lyft were working on a similar feature, and both knew about the other but neither knew that the other knew. I wish I could remember what the feature was.
It's hard for companies to give you access to feedback because of potential legal repercussions and also because it is very hard for them to deal with back and forth that would inevitably occur

Although I agree with this point, it only explains why a bad practice occurs, not why it should happen. If anything, it indicates why google might not be a good institution to be conducting exams. What you're saying here (accurately) is that because Google could be sued for how it evaluates and uses its exams, they just keep the results secret.

To drive the point home - there is currently a class action forming against google for age discrimination. However, the process is opaque enough that people probably don't really know if there has been any age discrimination. One possible data point that might be of interest would be to see the exam results, or other information about how the exams were graded (I believe there are even images of the code I wrote stored in this database for google's record keeping - but not mine. Again, I'm not allowed to see them). So, one way to discriminate and get away with it would be to simply deny anyone access to the data used to evaluate them. That way, how would they ever know?

I understand this is true of all interviews, not just tech. But tech really is unusual (perhaps unique) in that a huge part of our "interviews" truly are exams. They're not "tell me about your experience". They're "write code to find all sub matrices in an NxN matrix with a positive determinant", often at the whiteboard, in 45 minutes.

If that sounds extreme or excessively suspicious, I'd like to point out that we're talking about a company that was clearly, glaringly guilty of an industry wide collusion to suppress wages and maintain no-hire lists. I'm hoping you've read those articles and seen those emails. It's reasonable for people, at this point, to be looking for some kind of outside regulation and transparency.
You can do this with internal mutability. Mark the contents of the list nodes mutable by wrapping it in `Cell` or `RefCell`, and Rust will guarantee that any mutations still preserve memory safety.

Or, as Veedrac mentions, you can do it without any tricks if you can give up accessing the list itself while you have the array around.
Can you clarify what gives you the impression that I did not read the article?

Did you notice that it says:

“Our logic was to start at the extreme scenario [and work backward from that],” says Robin White, the study’s lead author and an animal sciences researcher at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg. She and fellow animal sciences researcher Mary Beth Hall, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, began by estimating the impact of converting all land now used by the livestock industry to cropland for human food.
Larger players being? I can only think of Lastpass when it comes to similar feature sets.
The Standalone version’s support is abysmal. Just yesterday I found out it is not supported on Linux. I’m sorry, but what?

I almost regret purchasing 1Password.

Practical steps towards balancing security and convenience for your life
In theory, sure. If there were ever any options to be careful, that might be relevant.

But in practice, "as good as you can afford" really means "buy the lead paint, lead water, asbestos ridden, foundation broken 'cheap' house? Or buy the no-lead, no asbestos, no mold 'expensive' house? "As good as you can afford" actually translates to the "least shitty" option, for most people.

Buying an 8 bedroom house just because the bank will technically let you, is a fun TV sitcom joke. Not a real thing most people are ever able to actually do.
More money down the drain on failed social "safety nets".
Do you attempt to group your notes by subject and project within the higher-level chronology?

I also keep a paper notebook for software engineering, but I find it less convenient than my old chemistry lab notebooks were. The problem is that in my software engineering job, I must alternate between tasks and meetings many times a day. So either I keep things strictly chronological and have a difficult time maintaining a usable table of contents, or I have a new page for each of the day's projects, at the cost of constantly jumping from page to page and inefficient use of the notebook's space. I've yet to find a happy solution.
The goal of a liberal arts education (which is not unique to the United States) is to provide a well-rounded base of knowledge combined with critical thinking skills. For college students on this track, specifying a major becomes less important.
Those are some great points - I didn’t think much about sporadic work. UBI is probably easier to implement administratively than trying to change check sizes every week.

I think though politically it’s easier to stomach if you’re of a leaning that sees government giving as a good thing.

I think politicaly you have a hard case saying we’re also giving sama and bill gates these checks (even if their effective rate still puts them under at the end of the year!)

I would hope the incentives problem would be solved with a very gradual tax curve rather than brackets for NIT.
HN has rate limiting on replies. Reply button should appear after a few minutes.
The most popular UBI proposals that I've seen all contain some level of social safety net reduction (some more than others). None of the proposals I've seen suggest that social services remain at their current level and we give everyone $N on top of that.
Sure, as a politician you shouldn't be favoring homeowners more than people who don't currently own a home / younger generations. Passing policies that increase home value necessarily makes it harder to own a home than before, and also raises rent prices.

Homeowners essentially hold everyone else hostage because they are able to vote and youth/the unborn/many immigrants cannot. So politicians are highly incentivized to pass policies that increase home values. Of course, not everyone who can vote is a homeowner, but politicians and wealthy/connected people disproportionately are.

The main way to increase home prices is to make the monthly payments lower than before, by either decreasing interest rates or extending the maximum mortgage loan length. In another one of my posts, I explained why this will actually simply raise the values of the homes without affecting mortgage payments very much. This has the added effect of pricing a lot of people out of home ownership compared to the previous market, because this does increase the down payments that you need to make. Thus the increase in rents.

Regarding tax, if you let interest be deductible from your taxes, you are making mortgage payments even lower. Again, this raises home value because mortgage payments will again revert to what they were before.
And here's what they're paying out:

Long-term basic income: 40 villages with recipients receiving roughly $0.75 (nominal) per adult per day, delivered monthly for 12 years

Short-term basic income: 80 villages with recipients receiving the same monthly amount, but only for 2 years

Lump sum payments: 80 villages with recipients receiving a lump sum payment equivalent to the total value of payments of the short-term stream

Control group: 100 villages not receiving cash transfers
>whereas a simple UBI paid to all does not.

Well in that case before I die I will appear sufficiently senile/disabled to allow someone else to collect UBI on my behalf and tell my next of kin to dump me in a hole without telling anyone. I have plenty of time to iron out the details.

See the problem.

You'll still need a bureaucracy. It might be smaller depending on the implementation details of UBI. I expect the amount of welfare fraud to remain constant. Given X opportunity, Y risk and Z reward there's always some subset of the population that will have no problem stealing from the government.
>You keep talking about things like "unit of interaction" - which is a handy thing to talk about in the abstract, but gives the impression that you've actually quantified human interaction - a concept I am highly skeptical of.

A precise quantification is not necessary to recognize the core point, that however you define interaction, you are in fact interacting with acquaintances much more than strangers. You don't need to put numbers on eye contact or anything like that. It's enough to go by e.g. physical unbarriered proximity.

>One possible explanation that has nothing to do with "interaction time" is simply the fact that you apply more countermeasures to strangers than you do to people you know. Perhaps the real cause is a matter of trust, not time.

That's saying the same thing: people apply more countermeasures to strangers because they (correctly!) recognize them as being more dangerous in the practically-relevant sense. After that filter is applied, and after swamping your interactions with acquaintances, the end result is a relatively low proportion of crimes from stranger-in-the-bushes. That doesn't mean predators in bushes aren't dangerous!

And, once someone has become trusted, they're no longer a stranger and likewise are less dangerous because they have more to lose from hurting you. Either way, by the appropriate metric, acquaintances/friends/family are less dangerous. The greater incidence comes from being around them more and from not using the same countermeasures.

Either way, it simply doesn't follow (as the OP suggested) that the rational thing to do is to be less wary of strangers!
Thanks, can't hurt to try.
I beg to differ. The DOM is the problem, not JavaScript. Once other languages can interface with the DOM everyone will finally realise this.

I have used 1Password for half a decade, but I'm pretty disgusted by agilebits behavior as they continue to shove non-cloud users aside. The amount of customer goodwill they've burned is astounding. I think it's time to start looking elsewhere for a password manager solution.
Tell HN: Firefox got slower after new update?
I have updated to Firefox 57, I don't know what is working behind the scenes, but it got a lot slower in my ubuntu machine. Before there were some incremental page loading while downloading other assets, but now, some of the sites are loading slower than before.

some of them are:

I'm not going to downvote you for it, but this is terrible advice. If you're graduating form high school and don't know what you want to do for a living, don't make a multi-year commitment to a job that has a very significant chance of ruining your life. You can get out of waiting tables after 12 months if you want to, but you can't just drop out of the army, and waiting tables has a significantly smaller chance of removing one or more of your limbs.

If bubbles were predictable, they wouldn't be bubbles. Everyone claims they're in a housing bubble when prices rise for years on end. They often aren't. Even when they are, literally nobody knows when they will break, or by how much.

Here's an article predicting the Stockholm "bubble" would pop in 2009: https://arbetet.se/2009/06/26/har-alla-glomt-90-talets-bosta...

And here's one predicting it in 2003: https://www.svd.se/prispress-okar-risk-for-bostadsbubbla

And here's what it did: https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/template/assets/img/swed...

The only positive thing I can say about a Keurig machine is that it is better than a Flavia machine, which is the Worst Coffee Thing ever.

I've got an electric kettle and one of those plastic Melitta filter holders that sit on top of the coffee cup. Costs me altogether maybe $25 and works great.
Why even go that far. Just hypothetisize having everyone only consume white meat and not red meat, the latter of which is both more taxing on the human physique, not just on the environment.

> This is because doing so is at odds with the post-modernist ideal of a borderless society.

nit: "a borderless society" is compatible with postmodernist framing, but it is not the necessary outcome of one. Postmodernism is a category of schools of though, not a single one, and so some schools of postmodernism advocate a borderless society, but others are opposed to it.
As you clearly know, life is about balance. I'd say the ideal diet is mostly vegan, with exceptions made for very well-made cheese (in France), the occasional egg from a pastured hen, a steak once every few months from a cow who got to run around and eat grass, and wild fish once a week or so.
Not locking most of the UI and saying it's "indexing..." every time something changes.
agree. The 2 years core curriulum in the US college majors is an indictment of US high schools IMHO. I like the system here in Germany a lot better, its not perfect but it doesnt waste your time as much and gives you way more options.
For me, two reasons:

1. If we're already going to do the journey to a far off planet, it'd be nice if we didn't have to have a huge amount of infrastructure to stay alive on the planet.

2. I feel like one of the ultimate goals of space travel is to find other life. The only life we know is on Earth. Earth-like planets are a good place to start.
I guess that when users make the habit of using the free tool, then the company that provides it can easily embed other convenience habits that could
potentially lead to a future sale.

Both Microsoft and Github have commercial products to sell at a later stage, VSCode has now integrations with Azure, I don't know about Github integrations on Atom but the potential is there.

When the user is using your free tool you are one step closer to provide something additional that is so convenient that is hard to say no, even if is paid.
I’m not against the hosted model, but at the moment for me they don’t have enough compelling reasons to use it if you purchased the standalone version. It sounds like they’re trying to get there with X and I wish them luck, but in the meantime I’m a happy standalone user.
Well, that’s kinda the whole point. They don’t feel like it is truly public information. You gotta give something in return.
Actually, Byzantine monks regularly travelled to Italy for centuries, bringing scrolls with them to teach Ancient Greek. This movement accelerated during the crusades, and got its final major impetus at the final fall of Constantinople.

The myth that somehow the West owes access to the texts of Ancient Greece to the anti-reason Moslem world is very misleading. One would have to believe that there was zero contact for one thousand years between Western Europe and Byzantium -- an utterly, bizarrely wrong notion.
Let me explain: motherboard has 1000 components. One of them fails and it is likely a brick. SSD contains several chips. Most probably what will fail will not be an SSD but some capacitor somewhere on CPU power line. With a separate SSD, you buy connector/another laptop, pull it out of a bricked machine and you are good to go. With a soldered on SSD you a F^%$ed. All for a $3 connector.

I'm not paying $3k to be inconvenienced by such retarded design and carry yet another ssd along with my bag of dongles, because apple decided to get cheap on a $3 connector. Kapish?
