Your insurance carrier will not care what the other driver should have been doing, if you rear end someone you are at FAULT as you failed to keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. It doesn't matter if they slow or stop for any reason ahead of you, if you run into them it's your fault.

> "For purposes of insurance and policing, the driver of the car that rear-ends the other car is almost always considered to be at fault due to not leaving enough stopping distance or lack of attention." [1]

I'm glad we have drivers on the road that hope for the best in other drivers, but you need to sink this in your head today:

You should treat everyone on the road as an accident waiting to happen, and should practice defensive driving at all times in response.

The economics of living in a trailer park are much more complicated than that.

Prefabs and trailers are two different things, but for the sake of argument, you seem to think that for $20k you can buy a trailer and plop it down in a park. Someone owns that park. They expect rent, on top of the mortgage payment you're making for the trailer.

Trailers are cheaply built and depreciate rapidly. Repairs are not always straightforward and often require specialized parts. Things you take for granted as being standard in size often aren't, which forces you to buy overpriced replacements from a dealer instead of just grabbing one at Home Depot. (Prefabs, not so much.)

You own the house, not the land. If you stop paying rent, you get evicted. But you get to keep the trailer, right? Even if you still have enough money to move it, you don't own any land to put it on. You can't just park it at Wal-Mart while you figure out what to do. So you're forced to liquidate it for pennies (probably to the same landlord, who in turn rents it out) and now you're homeless and $20k poorer.

Trailer parks are not the answer to lack of homeownership. They are a more complicated form of renting that net you all of the responsibilities of homeownership and none of the equity. The sorts of people who choose to live there do so for a reason; if it were truly cheap or affordable every trailer park would be packed with hipsters. You can't market such an abysmal deal to any working individual with a brain.

The right answer would be to forget the trailer park idea and go buy a plot of land on the side of a mountain in Montana. You'd need to install septic, dig a well, buy a gas tank, etc. before it's truly livable, which raises the upfront cost by about $75k. But as you develop you build equity.

There is no simple, affordable solution unless you want to live like Eric Rudolph.

Most humans don’t even have a facebook account. Did you mean “most people in my observable social circle and subculure”? Just because many of my generation willingly give their identity away does not mean this behavior is normal or that this is an excusable form of exploitation.
Founders usually give up their family lives, social lives, leisure time, and sometimes their reputation, sanity, initial investment in the startup and self-esteem on top of what you list, depending on the outcome. The stress level for a founder is usually quite high, and the success rate is quite low.

Richard Barry, founder of FreeRTOS, has joined AWS as a principal engineer, and will continue to support Amazon FreeRTOS. WITTENSTEIN high integrity systems (WHIS) will continue to support and develop OPENRTOS and SAFERTOS, commercial implementations of FreeRTOS for projects that require certification or support.

Richard released FreeRTOS in 2003, and had been working on FreeRTOS in partnership with WHIS since 2006, when they started to provide commercial support for it.
I so much agree. There's enough dancing baloney on the web, we don't need it infecting the command line. Just say no.
I'd hate to work at a company (as employee or management) with such bad labor relations that "we screwed up on scheduling" can't be resolved reasonably.

"If we offer your a bonus, you might not get paid the bonus" either means the management is horrible/dishonest or the union are assholes and bitter about being excluded from negotiations, or more likely, both.
Worse still - on iOS there's no way to block this kind of stuff. On Android there's both VPN and hosts file based blockers as well as extremely capable tools like XPrivacy for those who really want to get down and dirty.

Try launching one of the top games with XPrivacy installed. You get to click allow for the dev's server and block to 5+ 3rd party analytics, crash reporting and ad services. I'm sure many of these provide developer value, but there's definitely a harm to user privacy.
This looks like a gem, thanks!

I've done 80 sustained for long periods multiple times (3mos - 9mos), in both film and games, over two decades. In my experience, more than 80 is quite rare in both industries, and less than half ever get above 70. There simply isn't much time left to do more for any length of time. At 80 hours/wk, you eat, sleep, and work, and that's it. More than 80 and you're cutting into sleep. One guy I know pulled over 100 for a couple months, but we was definitely sleeping inhumanly low amounts, and was taking prescription drugs to stay awake.

The last game studio I worked at measured actual work hours and noted a significant discrepancy between what people thought they worked and what they actually worked. A lot of people over-estimate their load during crunch. Maybe they factor in commutes, maybe they just over-estimate, but a lot of people that though they worked 80 were only in the building for ~60-65. Some people who thought (or at least said) they were pulling 45-50 were actually working 35. Maybe the mental stress of crunch adds phantom hours.

I'd say that works against the purpose of protecting customers. Every blackhat in the world had probably heard about it last night, but if Apple had announced details earlier, even without a patch, informed customers could take preventive action (such as not connecting to public wifi, disabling screen sharing, etc).
My dad brought me through the Houston tunnel system when I was a young teen and I really enjoyed the hustle and bustle around lunch time. I remember sitting in a small coffee shop and pretending I was in the wing of a space station.

Software engineers are shooting themselves in the foot. When you live in a society built around greed, it is imperative that you push to collect as much of the value you create.

Unions can be extremely helpful. SWE would be the perfect people to build new custom solutions for unions to get around many of the negative externalities caused by unions.

However, people don't want to unionize while they still have leverage. When software engineers are finally ready to unionize, they're going to have way less leverage and get much worse deals.

That cap is likely in the contract as some trade-off for something else the pilots wanted.

A free market does exist at some companies for pilots, and they are compensated and treated far less well than their unionized counterparts.

Because of the specialized training, pilots have lots of leverage. You can't quickly and easily replace them.

TFNs are weird. You legally don't have to give them to anybody. I have a TFN declaration form sitting in front of me here at work, and it says specifically "It's not an offence not to quote your TFN".

You can just not give your employer your TFN, and they'll withhold your tax at the maximum rate, and you can get a bunch of money back after your tax return. Your TFN is just a way for the ATO to figure out how much tax to withhold so your tax return is more correct.

Anyway, Australia and New Zealand are interesting, in that there is no single number that maps to a person. You can use your drivers licence number, or your passport number, or your TFN/IRD number, depending on the situation.

When they introduced photo drivers licences in New Zealand, there was concern in them turning into a de facto national ID card.

Eventually I left and a friend of mine accepted their deal, he ended up racking up 400 hours of overtime (which he never got to take or got paid out) in his first three months.

An employment lawyer and/or the Department of Labor would be very interested in this. It takes more than simply putting someone on salary to exempt them from overtime (in the US).
Maybe. My point wasn't so much that people need internet to use cryptos as that our definition of "ordinary people" is pretty skewed compared to the actual world population.
That's a different user. We run on GCP/GKE and aren't moving, but by managed services I'm talking about the multitude of products that AWS offer in a managed version, everything from NFS to a graph database now. It makes building products very easy since you have an answer for any infrastructure need.

Azure comes close but GCP is very far behind. What's there is nice and well designed, but leaves a lot of gaps to fill in.

Yup, this is an excellent point. We have, and will continue to explore ways to allow Common Voice users to speak more organically (for instance by answering a question, or responding free-form to some other sort of prompt). The problem with this approach is that it requires an extra step, transcription, which at the scale we are trying to achieve is pretty costly in either money or time (ie. tedium for our users). Eventually we hope that speech engines can take care of the transcription part, but for now we need people.

That said, we will definitely be exploring ways to build in organic speech and perhaps transcriptions to the Common Voice app. This will solve another problem for us too, which is getting public domain material for people to read. Doing this obviously requires a much more complex user experience, and we have more work to figure out how to make something that people will want to use and contribute to. Stay tuned for that :)

On the flip side, we hope that these datasets, models, and the tools (ie. DeepSpeech) can get more people (researchers, start-ups, hobbyist) over the hump of building an MVP of something useful in voice. Once you have people using your products, collecting useful in-context voice data becomes much easier.

On that note, another approach we are working on is partnering with universities and socially-aware startups like MyCroft, SNIPS, and Mythic. Imagine if voice products in market allowed their users to opt-in to contributing their utterances to an open resource similar to Common Voice. Of course, sharing your voice publicly is not for everyone, or every product scenario. But it does work for some. And if we pool our resources, our hope is to indeed commoditize speech-to-text so that we can focus on more interesting challenges like building voice experiences people want to use. (For instance, could voice somehow be a "progressive enhancement" to the web?).

t2 instances work great for many web services with daily load fluctuations if you view them as basically a billing mechanism. AWS originally offered a reserved-instance model where you didn't pay for instances that weren't running, but now that you pay for RI instance-hours regardless of usage, scaling down doesn't save you any money, so you either buy RIs to cover your peak usage (and waste money off-peak) or pay much higher on-demand prices some of the time. With t2's (which were introduced around the same time as the RI change), you can just run the right number of instances to keep your CPU Credit Balance above water (stockpiling credits off-peak) and buy RIs for them all, making them extremely cheap. And you can still auto-scale on the credit balance to avoid throttling in case of unexpected load.
There is almost no difference between a ShowHN and a normal submission, so don't care too much about it. (I'm not sure if you would get more visits for a ShowHN.???)

Originally, the idea was that the ShowHN must be a playable project, but the rules are not enforced unless it's a fragrant violation, or at least they are less strict that what I'd like. I think that the original idea was that the project was a online app, or an easy to download app, but it's difficult to extend this to other projects like books, videos, github repositories. Currently even a blog post that is written by the submitter and has original content will survive. (I'm not a fan of this extension, but whatever.)

Currently the ShowHN only is a signal that the submitter is also that author and want some feedback. But most HN threads have unrequested feedback anyway, and in small projects many times the author comes when there is a big spike in the visits.

An alternative to a ShowHN is to write a small comment in the HN submission, something like "Author here. Any feedback is welcome."

Some feedback about independentdigitalworkers:

It has too few text! It's not clear that I must click "1099", "remote", "monetize" to see the content.

The collection of links is too terse, I'd try to add a small description of the advantages of each site. (Something like a listicle, but a good listicle.)

For example "monetize" has 5 links, but each site has a very different spirit, they are not interchangeable, and for someone that don't know them it is difficult to understand the differences and which is better. (What is the difference between Zazzle and Etsy?)

It would be nice to collect some real use case, some kind of interviews with people that has a similar profile. (For example a loot of Youtubers are using Patreon and Teespring to complement the ad revenue from Youtube.)

No one said that you can't do automatic tests. Manual tests do not exclude automatic tests. But I dare to say that manual tests are essential, because that's how the software will really be used. Especially for release candidates. Apple has resources to do both repeatedly.

In this big corporation I mentioned tests were also done automatically. A device receives via infrared programmed set of commands in a loop for 24h. The test simulates a user with a remote.

Even so called gravitational tests are useful. A test where "only" gravitation acts on a device for 24h.

Those may seem dumb, but bugs can be hunted this way, that no automatic test could find. Because real hardware and release environment is messy.
There's no accounting for stupidity.

>Free-market AA could offer better incentives

Baseless/Unsubstantiated comment. Unions come in when the people who are working there feel they aren't being treated fairly. Sure Free-market AA could offer better incentives to SOME, but at the detriment to MOST.
Impossible O:
Bullshit. 80 hours a week is at least plausible. Working 100, no fucking way. That's 9am - 11:15pm actually physically inside the office EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE. There is no way "most" of the gamedev industry do that.
Just to add, negotiation using competing offers from hedge funds, prop trading firms, and certain unicorns goes a LONG way here. Easily 3-4x as much equity if you bring in the right competing offer (i.e. from Citadel, Five Rings, AirBnB, HRT, etc.).
This is nonsense. There are plenty of real issues here - please don’t make more up and waste our time.
You can very easily move some functions out of a notebook and into a proper module, that can be included in a program / production system. Autoreload extension in Python Jupyter notebooks makes it extra nice.
It is also easy, and convenient to write py.test style tests inside a notebook, just call them manually inside the block. Then when you move it out to module, you have tests that will automatically be picked up by your testrunner.
You state yourself that the ISP also has the service address, and it's also clear that everybody in the house is using the internet connection, not just the person who is paying the bill.

So identifying the customer provides the ISP with neither the identity of the person using the internet connection, nor any more information (than the service address) about how to locate the person using the internet connection.

So, even if you believe it is right and proper that ISPs are deputised to track down internet users on behalf of the government: why is it advantageous that they identify their customers?
