Plenty of great movies had a ~20 million dollar budget, but few moves with that kind of a budget had high returns.

In terms of movies, studios look a lot like a VC firm with a term sheet from hell. However, plenty of studios died over time and would be making moves today if their past movies where more profitable. Sure, you needs a direct / script / special effects etc, but low budget movies with simple scripts and great actors also work without X00 million dollar budgets. So, their is clearly some wiggle room in terms of number of movies produced per year.

Bono lives in one of the towers of the San Remo building on CPW. He bought it from Steve Jobs who had owned it for ~20 years famously never having set foot in it.

The other tower was owned by Bruce Willis and Demi Moore bought in 1990.im not sure they ever lived there either. Eventually Demi Moore got it 8n the divorce and sold it recently.

And this is in a coop, which tend to be far more owner-occupied. Luckily for Manhattan the vast majority of hous8ng stock is coops. If it were nothing but the luxury piggy banks being built on 57th street the city would be a ghost town.
> you put in the wrong date

There is no "wrong" or "right" date for Google. Google's support says to input whatever date you remember, Google will judge it as neither "true" or "false", but based on how close you are, and (this part is now speculation) combine that with other factors.

I work for an Oracle shop and I actively try to avoid using SQL Developer: on Mac at least, it’s a resource hog and fairly slow and, additionally, it’s autocomplete facilities are fairly flaky. These days I just use the DB integration built into IntelliJ which is much nicer. (And not limited to one DB)

I'm more on the bio side, but didn't really have a mentor until I was 35. In retrospect, here's what I'd do:

A) have low expectations, so it's easier to define early success and build motiviation, B) be willing to do work for free, as long as it is mutually beneficial, so likely research with no clear financial incentive C) go to where the mentors are: local universities and corporations and research institutes with open campuses. D) at said campus, find some old person sitting alone at lunch. Ask permission to join them. Strike up a conversation. Rinse and repeat daily until you make some connections, find some mutual interests, and pursue them. This has, in my case, led to actual projects, where they formally sponsor me, I get campus badges (I'd like to think I have a fairly enviable collection of ID badges), and and go as I please. This was especially helpful in residency when I needed a place to study on the weekends, but the thought of returning to the hospital campus on the weekends made me nauseous.

Especially as an iOS freelancer, you need nothing more than a laptop, right? So just work there until lunch. Or after lunch, whatever. I'll bet you can find an accessible power outlet and wi-fi in the same spot if you walk around for awhile.
This has hardly been educational or enlightening. Areas that border SARs maintain Cantonese which would incredibly useful for an economic advantage with Hong Kong and Macau, and SARs are not mainland China so what is there to apologize about, the word “obsolete”?

The whole thing was obviously driven by unfamiliarity and stubbornness in clinging to the familiar but your comparison of "map f" vs "map (\x -> f x)" is not equivalent to his comparison of "array.map(fn)" to "array.map(x => fn(x))".

The haskell versions are equivalent but the javascript versions are not due to the airty issues raised in the comments.
Don't apologize, you have the right to have an opinion. What is not normal here is people attacking you on that very thread for your seniority (or lack there of), this is absolutely shameful.

Millenials aren't whiny, they are angry. They have been screwed and want revenge. They correctly asses that boomers climbed up the ladder then burned it to the ground. They took cheap publicly subsidized education then massively defunded it. They benefited from regulated financial markets then gifted them to oligarchs. They took pensions then ensured no one would ever get one again. They destroyed unions and therefore the middle class. They destroyed the environment for their own personal profit. They took all the benefits of the new deal, and the moment it looked like those benefits would start helping the new generation they stripped them away. The boomers will go down as the most selfish and short sighted generation in US history.

And millenials are very tired of these people who have had it so easy and worked to make it so much worse for their children, talking about "personal responsibility" and "participation trophies".

I have found that the 'charge by value not by time' is true based on my use of it for a longer period of time than I want to mention (for fear of giving away my age). I actually discovered this when in my first business which I started right out of college (before the Internet for sure).

I think one of the problems with being a young person starting out now is that there is so much info out there that you can read (or watch) that you perhaps don't do as much "doing" as we did in the past. As well as learning and figuring out on your own. By thinking and reading the signals and making mistakes.

In the end I think the issue is reading does not make you clever and we used to call this 'book knowledge' back when I was growing up.

There's a very good rule here: unless you have done action X on at least 3 occasions with a given person, ask them before you do it. "May I hug/kiss/grope/whatever you?"

I've never been attracted to the idea of partial application. Without it a function is either in state 0 or 1. It's not called or it has been called.

With partial application in the mix, functions are in an almost indeterminate state (to the programmer typing at the keyboard even if some compilers know).

In functional styles, programmers are encouraged to "just pass a function".

The f(x,y,z) gets passed around in an unknown state of f(maybe needs x, maybe needs y, maybe needs z).

This would be complicated even if it was the same function with a declining arity as it was passed around. Several languages allow named arguments which just adds to the signature complexity.

It's hard to see the benefits of the complexification.

Most pedagogical examples of the use occur in tight loops where the complexity isn't obvious. Once a function is passed outside of that tight loop I wonder at it's actually utility vs the negative effects.
There's definitely a massive amount of dunning-krueger happening in cryptocurrency. I see a lot of that in these threads.

But I think the real reason the threads are low quality is a lot more disappointing. There are a lot of people who (often they aren't even HN regulars) have heavy vested interests in cryptocurrency, in a certain philosophy, in a certain coin, and so they brigade to protect their interests and to steer the ideas of the public in their preferred direction. So people will speak up even if they know it's not really their area of expertise
This is a bit of a nitpick but saying a country has nice people bothers me. It sounds like an empty platitude when they don't have much else to be proud of. Do you really mean Indonesians are nicer than people from somewhere else? What countries don't have nice people?

pfft. First time i hear someone around balkans to want to be mentored... everyone here thinks hirself a know-it-all. See, i have 30y of experience and have mentored people @20 , @30 and @45, and it all works (and happened in several countries). Now i have one @23, one @28.. Basically physical age/skin/gender does not matter, mental age is what matters - i have met 30y people who have become pensioneer-like with "unchangeable" mentality, and know 65y+ old ppl that still think quicker than me...

one thing u have to know though... real mentorship isn't just about how to use screwdriver X or technology Y.. it is also about how to live being someone knowing all about screwdrivers and technology. Esp. in programming where multidimensional schizophrenia is your everyday state of mind :). Without that, it's teaching/lectoring/RTFM, not mentoring.. btw Best way is to find a job where you would be mentored into close-to-desired direction, even if somewhat underpaid for beginning. But there are other ways too.

I think that's kind of the magic of it all: what is the value of having your critical systems work?

The only way to determine a price on something like that is usually by comparing it to someone else. Then, you have the protection from people lowballing since most take "you get what you pay for" to heart.

They wouldn't agree to the price if it wasn't worth it to them, so as long as you achieve what you promised, then you are worth it.

Does anyone have a single, basic book recommendation that would describe chip fab all in one place?

Also, it seems to me he or people like him should try to make microcontrollers rather than "full" computer chips. I would buy something to drive blinky lights for $5.00 that ran 1/5 as fast as an Atmel chip to support a free chipmaking movement, but I can't see doing something for a general purpose computer chip (with the same ratios at least).

I'm sorry but you're not going to win over anybody like this. They asked you for a date, they potentially gave you some leeway for error (or not), and you gave the wrong date. Evidently your error was too high for them to overlook. You could argue they asked a bad question or should have given more leeway, and people might actually sympathize with you there, but relying instead on pedantry like this does not help.

You can buy an entire sackful of potatoes for around the cost of two slices of pizza, and it'll last for weeks. Or several pounds of flour which will likewise last for a while--you could make your pizza bases in a few minutes if you wanted to, then just add the toppings you want. These are all vastly better value for money than buying pre-made food.

I don't buy for a moment that processed food is cheaper than the raw ingredients. The processing has a significant cost. The main factor for many people is pure laziness--they can't be bothered to spend 10 minutes preparing stuff; they'd rather waste money on processed food.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, this is really interesting. It seems like you had a pretty unpleasant experience as a traditional employee, which I can appreciate. I'm curious about this part:

>I was one of the best people someone could hire for things that are necessary, but not glamorous -- database performance tuning, data warehousing, ETL process development, and cleaning up disasters. Yet getting market rate for salary as a senior dev was like pulling teeth. At the time I was gritting my teeth to collect a paycheck.

The skills that you polished -- to the point of being "one of the best people someone could hire" -- seem heavily reliant on experiential learning. For example, I can't see how someone could get to be really good at "cleaning up disasters" without cleaning up a lot of disasters first. Would you say your experience as a (chronically underpaid) senior dev is what prepared you to be able to go out and perform the work that companies value so highly? Is the trick for us less-senior folks just to... keep working?
The whole “never use floats as money” thing is a little overblown. If you need exact values, where everything needs to add up in the end, sure. But if you’re generating the value yourself it doesn’t really need to be precise. For example - create a sell order for ten percent less than the current price - that doesn’t need to be exact.
Amazon is horrible about things like this. They purchased Twitch and then removed the Twitch app from the Roku. They are very anti competitive.
Internet connected the world, and changed how we interact fundamentally. Blockchain uses the internet to create politically resistant money as a primary use case. Just not seeing how blockchain fits into any ongoing revolution, in part because it only can exist because of government/corporate controlled pipes on which it relies.
> in the same way comedians/actors/musicians have agents?

Many reasons for this. One reason though is simple logistics in terms of how the world has changed since that system was in place. And for what reasons.

In the 'olden' days there was no internet. So if you were a performer you needed an agent for one thing you probably had little business or negotiation skills and no source of information to figure it out (nor the knack or desire). And also there was no easy way for 'customers' to get in contact with you. (Now it's trivial to go direct to a developer by email).

Also with performing the product is pretty much always the same. If you are going to book a comedian for a certain night at a certain rate you know the product. With programming it's all over the map in terms of length and deliverables.

Above just a few reasons.

That said it's not a bad idea not to mention it is almost certainly being done but maybe not on a major known scale.
People are not this dumb- they have come to associate large scale chemical (aka chemistry) processing with environment and health issues- and although nobody in the various industries likes to hear it- they are usually right.

No one had it easy. Millennials have a much better life all things considered. You can’t get drafted to go die in a war, you brush off 70s stagflation like it was a non-event. Rascism is much less prevalent.

It’s precisely this ease of living that is part of the problem. Why not rack up tens of thousands of college debt to get a useless degree when you’re historically more privileged than 99% of people that have ever lived?

Reality is harsh and that seems to have escaped many millennials.

LA really needs to work on providing restrooms. The RV convoys aren't really that much of a problem themselves (some individuals are, but so can be those with homes). Instead what they leave behind is a problem - feces, urine and trash.

I'm sure most people would rather not do this on a sidewalk or under an overpass, but if they have no other option it's hard to blame them. To add insult to injury, city has proven uninterested in increasing sanitation work to at least clean this up. Now LA and San Diego are facing diseases most developed countries only read about.

I'm sure the city could organize a service to place mobile restrooms at a reasonable cost. I'd be more than willing to pay extra sales tax for this and it would generate jobs for companies that maintain them.

EDIT:
It's worse than I thought - in skid row (granted this might be an extreme) 9 toilets for roughly 1800 people!

Same experience: 6S started shutting down at about 20% after less than a year. I recall searching for this problem and finding that Apple acknowledged that "it's a bug" and that they were working on a fix. The fix came out, but they didn't explain in what way: since then I have an underperforming 6S (50% of average geekbench score) and nobody told me why untill now. Totally agree with your guess of the reason: it was cheaper to do that in software than to replace a lot of batteries, also avoiding the PR nightmare.
I was already being pedantic before so I will try to keep it at a minimum but you say "by definition" and then you go on to talk about the worlds most famous investor as an example of why the market adjusts. I get the point, when something has value the word will spread and the advantage will disappear. But that applies to a perfect system only. When Warren Buffet does something, people hear about it. But can we agree that it's (at least, theoretically) possible for some dude to discover something and make a bot that exploits it for some small value and a limited amount of time before that effect will kick in?

Also, the implied premise here seems to be that nobody in their right mind would give up on something that made them money, hence it has to be a scam. I'd say that open source in general is a perfect example of people giving their work away for free for whatever reason. Maybe they would rather have fame (i.e. github stars), or maybe they want a developer career and see this as a way to get feedback on code they wrote. Or maybe they simply feel that the potential value they could gain from this wasn't high enough to make it interesting so they decided to set it free.
