I don't really get this article. If you have someones full name, date of birth and SSN in the Federal Government's eyes you are them. There is no national ID system, and AFAIK SSNs are the only real thing that identifies you to the Federal Government (yes I know that it's only supposed to be used for Social Security benefits, but lets be real here). What other piece of info could they ask for that gives them more confidence that you are who you say you are?

I understand that this service allows you to get all the other info, but that seems trivial compared to the SSN which Krebs states that you can already buy online. Is is really news saying that once someone knows your SSN then you're screwed?
So I am trying to sort out all of the photo editing tools out there because I just got my first DSLR and plan on taking lots of pictures.

I have used Pixelmator in the past and really enjoyed it. Best $15 I spent on a Mac app, hands down. I do dislike the "here are a million little windows" UI, so the Pro is kinda nice that way.

But I am not sure how this all fits with things like Lightroom/darktable. I know Pixelmator can easily edit RAW files. But darktable seems to be able to edit a batch of images at once so you don't have to manually edit each one. But should you? Plus there is something about organizing photos with Lightroom/darktable flows that I don't quite get. I have gotten by with manually organizing my files for a decade. Do I really need a star rating system? Also darktable boasts the ability to export an image into GIMP. Is that really like a big feature that you can't do from elsewhere? Isn't it just a Save then Open type situation?

tl;dr photo editing is confusing.

Edit: Also I just dug into what Pm Pro does, and it's damn impressive. Adobe should be scared.

Yea at startups you often have way more flexibility to grant larger options blocks or a bit more equity to rockstars to bring them in while the salary is closely eyed by the investors to keep burn rate low. So startup salaries are by definition lower and “just enough” to get people come there. If they added something like “assumed value of options or equity when I first joined” that would be useful to understand. The reality is a ton of people at senior levels get paid way more than 150k in Silicon Valley. Plus there are levels above senior at virtually all companies.
Agree in totality. This is the same concept as buying South African Rand because the value moved significantly in the past year or two with respect to your current. These aren't assets, these are mediums of exchange. Plus, in a world where all we use is Bitcoin, the price change with respect to dollars becomes irrelevant.

Open Sourcing the Interview Process to Reduce Unconscious Bias
For ownership purposes closer to 10-15, but on-demand where the car can decline certain routes it is unconfident in, 5 is definitely reasonable
A lot of people on HN talk about SaaS - why this route? It seems passive, but then you have to maintain it and update it to the current needs of the market. Furthermore, unless you’re a really technical mind and can do straight CS work, you have to completely understand the needs of a different field. Is this really the best way forward?

I would say this offers global capabilities while preserving regional isolation. you're composing the global table out of regional tables (which replicate between each other), and you're still using regional endpoints. this means that a failure with one region's table does not have impact on the other.

this model does mean that certain things, like conditional expressions, are less useful/useless because you could very well execute a conditional expression against stale date.
While I agree cost of living is a tough pill to swallow in California, a salary table is irrelevant to the concept of 'furthering ones's career'. To further your career is, in fact, usually about taking something that is not financially beneficial but valuable for the experience or worldview that it imparts.

Those figures do not justify giving up a job in a cheap cost of living area. These numbers are about 60% more than corporate salaries where I live, but the cost of living in SV is roughly 3-10x greater.

The first college I attended was New Mexico Tech, and that school knows how to spend money properly. As an out of state student I payed less than half of what I paid at CU for an equal or better education. Sadly, schools that do this tend to be viewed as worse than average simply because they cannot create a good enough image for people to want to come and visit from farther parts of the country.
I don't mean to sound cynical (as in, this is a genuine question) but do these hearings amount to anything more than political grandstanding so that the relevant Congresspersons can claim to have been 'tough' on whatever topic was discussed?

I read your comment as "What's the difference to Wikinews", which is literally what you wrote, but you may have meant "with" which means my response was not directly relevant. WT ostensibly has made some changes/refinements -- which have tradeoffs that might be seen as undesirable to entrenched conventions at WN -- but it does seem that, on paper, WT and WN have the same fundamentals, i.e. what makes a Wiki what it is. And the content may not be substantively different either -- in fact, they could be mirrors of each other.

But my argument is that if WT's differences -- even if they are seemingly superficial like visual design and polish -- are enough to give WT even a veneer of authority and user-friendliness over WT, then the lack of fundamental differences is mostly besides the point. WT is a direct competitor to WN, few users are going to want to spend time/loyalty to both sites. And unlike Wikipedia, which has huge long-tail value, writing for a news site with a comparatively small audience would be a bit demoralizing when you could be writing for the much bigger competitor, especially if the pay (zero dollars) is exactly the same.

So the difference to WN is that if WT becomes more popular -- which it could just by Jimmy Wales continuing to be its salesman -- WN might become quickly lose its audience and purpose for existence.

I wouldn't recommend using C# for learning these concepts. Unsafe mode exists but it's not very straightforward in my view. I don't think I could understand unsafe mode without prior knowledge of C.
Don't get sucked into the idea that "startup" means VC funded startup with high risk, multi-year investment of your time. Consider bootstrapping many "utility" startups with the aim of getting 1-2 that have an aggregate value of $2.2M and that, as assets, will provide > $80K in revenue versus $80K in interest, which amounts to the same thing practically speaking.

I think the math in valuing these things is tricky but just for the sake of this conv let's say you want to create assets that produce $160K in income/year (to offset for the fact that these assets might only produce value for a few years or require additional investment down the road). That means you need assets that produce $13K/mo. Which, honestly, is not much.

So ask yourself this, what is more fun, easier, and more likely, making $2.2M from a single big gamble? Scrimping your dev salary for 20 years working on someone else's dream? Or making 2-3 bets (apps/products) year for a 2-3 years where 1 or 2 turn into actual money makers? I think by following a strategy like this, by the time you are in your mid 20's you easily should be basically retired. There are a million little needs and still backward industries where people are willing to pay for some automation and/or convenience. Finding and scratching those itches is pretty satisfying IMO.

It is a very personal thing and obviously you need the few years of space to build these things without also worrying about how you are going to eat.
Yeah, it’s quite freeing in a way, knowing that I don’t want a billion dollars. Everyone wants to be rich, but by knowing how rich, you can plan a lot better.
Or maybe he is living/want to live somewhere cheap. In my country (still in club of rich countries and part of EU) will 80k/year puts you in rank of 1% by earning.

Even if you are not living in somewhere that cheap, 80k should be enough to afford you dating, children (or two) and probably even enough to live off that one income stream.

This is definitely an artifact of your data focusing on startups. These numbers are shockingly low for the larger or established companies.

I also think focusing on base salary may have been an easier choice but it is really doesn't paint an accurate picture. Between bonuses and stock I've had years where my base salary was roughly half of my overall compensation.

Amazon SageMaker - Accelerating Machine Learning
I'm not sure how true that is; virtually everyone I've encountered distinguished unqualified “friends” from “Facebook friends”, the two groups being distinct, usually overlapping, categories. There are certainly people who treasure their number of social media followers, just as there have always been people who treasure the offline equivalent, and social media like Facebook makes it easier to quantity and compare than the offline world. But I don't think it's really that common for people to conflate social media network sizes with genuine friendship.

> its a weird wealth transfer especially with undergrads

You could say the same thing about coupons, or any other mechanism for differential pricing.

Also, most true scholarship money is not a differential pricing mechanism. Beyond a fixed discount rate offered to basically everyone (this is just the Kohl's "everything is always 60% off for everyone!" thing), most universities use (often endowed) scholarship and grants to maximize the quality of their undergraduate population, not for differential pricing.

Giving Student 4.0 with $0 in the bank a full scholarship and giving Student 2.5 with $300,000 in the bank $0 in scholarship is not wealth redistribution. It's merit-based aid. And that describes how a vast majority of scholarships work.

Yes, but not completely. I do get a handful of likes/comments on them and one friend commented in person about how often I post them. If they're suppressed by the algorithm, they're not getting suppressed too much.

In any case, I don't put a ton of effort into them. They're just articles I've discovered naturally with a pull quote or short summary.

Elsewhere, it is probably different - especially where you have 'professional' hosts for whom there really is no excuse.

Moore's law isn't based on a machine ability to run software though. One could argue Moore's law isn't relevant anymore but that's different from whether it's dead or not.

Either because adoption of new hardware has slowed down, or because we hit a tipping point where CPU power available is much greater than most software's need to utilize it means that performance gains exist. Modern hardware is faster than 2011 or 2013 hardware but the pressure to upgrade because things run crummy on old hardware just isn't there like it used to be.
Instagram is a very diverse place, much more so than Snapchat. If you follow the right people, you will basically only see high-quality photos (likely taken from high-end camera equipment too!), but if you just follow your “friends” et al you are gonna be disappointed.

If what 1/Nth of a group (the harassers) do, is applied to "all men" or "all VCs" or wharever, and are all "presumed guilty" then you can also blame those doing that lousy extrapolation.

The idea that "all X are Y", is of the same nature as the racist notion that "all blacks are criminals" because they know of some black criminals.

IMO there should be expensive data breach bond/insurance requirements for any company storing data about people, scaled by how much and possibly which kinds of data are stored. Discourage holding a bunch of stuff "just in case".

And FFS, at least outlaw the required arbitration BS for data breaches. Let the bond or insurer pay out when it happens, then jack up their prices on the breached company until they cry.
As noted below, the data set appears to be VERY start-up heavy. So, there's a bias towards both younger developers AND more compensation via equity.

I would expect Apple and Google to pay significantly more.

But, to your point, even at Apple or Google salaries, moving to SV would be tough for somebody mid-career (ie, with a house elsewhere that likely doesn't have enough equity to swap for a house in SV).
And yet another angle- maybe the urge to perform can be a way in which the medium encourages creativity, not unlike the dearly departed Vine.

I don't disagree with you. However my point, just like how your undergraduate experience varies with others, is that the majority of graduate programs are not funded, therefore said tax break is irrelevant. Even when you count PhD programs, there's a substantial discpreancy between the physical and non physical sciences [1].

And I never claimed all classes D1 atheletes take are fictious, however, they can be found, just like how the parent said they found fictious graduate courses as well.

Unless you have evidence to show that these "placeholder" classes are numerous both in quantity and breadth, mentioning it is basically just irrelevant anecdata (you even suggest this yourself in the grandparent post)

No, it doesn't. If the probability per year is 10^-15, then the probability over 10 billion years (10^10) is still 10^-5. (I mean, yes, over a quadrillion years the probability approaches 1.0, but I don't think that helps your position.)

You keep trying to say "but big numbers of planets, and big amounts of time" to make this idea reasonable. But it doesn't work. You have to deal with how low the probability actually is of it happening from one planet in one year. If that's low enough, you can't salvage it just by saying "billions of years and billions of planets".

Your point doesn't necessarily follow from your argument. For example, if salaries where you live were $1,000,000 per year and the cost of living was $10,000, you would gain $600,000 per year in salary and lose up to $90,000 per year in costs, for a net profit of $510,000.
