Don’t forget all the inneklemt days. May next year is a inneklemt bonanza. I doubt there will be much done at all in the country in May.

(It’s common in Norway to take any day that is between two off days off. So May 1st is a national holiday, next year it falls on a Tuesday, so that means many will take the Monday off, a so called innneklemt day. There’s a lot of holidays in May, and next year all of them creates inneklemt days.)

1 - making companies pay for their own property security. good.
2 - having those programs pay for themselves (so they aren't cut and put back on society). good.
3 - coercing people in a compromised state for profit. not good.
4 - Room for improvement. Yes.
I'm ignoring the age question since it's irrelevant. "How to get a mentor" is to get a job working at a company alongside more-senior developers. Freelancing is better for people who are already senior, in charge... people who are the mentor. If you want a mentor then your best bet would be a structured work environment where you're in a position to benefit from someone else's knowledge on a day-to-day basis (as most of those learning opportunities will end up being random and occasional).
Radiolab did a fantastic episode about the zcash creation:

But, just transferring sums that add up to $10k+ over a few days in the normal course of business is not. I've had several occasions in my life/business where I've done just that. It would be up to the government to connect that to other patterns that point to illegal activity I would think (or, your bank might grill you on it, since they've been put in the position of policing their customers). My bank has asked me why I was sending several thousand dollars a month to someone in Croatia or Russia (I've worked with contractors over a long period of time in both places), but they didn't make it particularly painful to do so, other than the large-ish money transfer fees US banks normally impose.

Merely moving money around for legal purposes is not a crime, even if it adds up to $10,000 in some specific period of time, but it might get your account flagged in some way, is what I'm trying to say.
You're lucky. My office is upstairs, meaning the commute is downstairs to the kettle, then back upstairs to the desk, twice as long as yours!
Relatively few companies I'm aware of offer 6 weeks pto. That requirement would put a senior engineer at google or Facebook not in the middle class, despite being in the top 1% of incomes.
He's name in Chinese was 蔣介石 (courtesy name 蔣中正). If they came from mainland China, they would definitely recognize both, since they're in the history book for everyone. The same goes for those 2 names' Pinyin (the Chinese romanization system used by PRC) Jiang Jieshi or Jiang Zhongzheng. Chung's story (along with the civil war between CCP and KMT) is well-known in China and depicted a lot in TV shows and movies.

Chung Kai-Shek is the romanization of 蔣介石 in Cantonese. If those post-docs weren't native in Cantonese, there's almost no way they can connect the pronunciation of Chung Kai-Shek back to 蔣介石.

In another romanization system used by ROC, 蔣介石/蔣中正 is Chiang Chieh-shih/Chiang Chung-cheng. Mainland Chinese can probably recognize them, but no guarantees.
As I read over the comments I couldn't help but think this was a normal thing to happen to people in office spaces. People not getting along with higher up and being fired/held back. People not knowing how to "play" the game so they never move up. The wrong people being chosen for positions over others even though they didn't deserve it. I think working remotely makes it so you have to put effort in places that would naturally happen in cubical farms. Small talk and showing interest in people outside of work life seem to go much farther then being a good worker. Making every experience people have with you a pleasant one. Making people feel like they can tell you their dumbest idea without fear you will slap them for saying something stupid. These seem to be key to moving around in a company vs any other way I have experience.
At risk of breaking NDAs, this is exactly what is being done in deployments I’ve worked on. Regulators also have nodes.
If IT is really desperate, then even better! You need to frame it to the client in terms of what you are going to save them if they hire you. If they are up the creek without a paddle and everything is falling apart, then you can go to them and say "Fixing this will save you $X. I can do this for you, I've done this sort of thing before, here is a proposal, this will cost $Y".
Very few remotes in Belgium indeed. I know of less than a dozen others.
> There is no guarantee that having an ICO makes the investment any more bullet proof.

Right now it's the exact opposite. There's nothing less bullet-proof (eg in the US) than investing into an ICO, outside of perhaps junk penny stocks.
You really don't see why the example you gave above was marketing rather than engineering?

All of the recommendations you gave were related to selling the product, not improving it. That's not a bad thing; it just means it was a marketing consultation.
Nice! Can we get this going in the supposed progressive, innovative SF bay area?? Please... (maybe I'm beating a dead horse :))
> I think you're talking about a different issue regarding names (maybe because the original post got taken down.)
I think he was just referring to lack of names in type declarations in OCaml.
type expr =
| Sum of (int, int)
| Negation of int
A sibling comment pointed out that this is now possible:
type expr =
| Sum of { left: expr ; right: expr }
| Negation of { child: expr }

It's difficult for me to work out the specifics here, but I think my point stands. In general, you just don't add nested ontologies the way you do in the OO world. There's a lot to be said about that with lenses, but there's strong incentive in both Haskell and Ocaml to use module-level separation and minimal accessors.

As for type constructors, I think this was one of Rich Hickey's complaints from his now infamous interview too, and yeah, in some cases it can be confusing. This is in the same sense that order-of-arguments for methods without required names (and tooling combinators like -> vs ->>) as well. Style problems exist with every syntax!

But from my perspective, it's pretty rare to not use record syntax or lenses AND be pattern matching on very deep groups of Things In Sum Types. The incentive to not do this is very high now.

My perspective is not so uncommon in the circles I run in; We Avoid Doing That Because It's Easier Not To Do It: the Musical. When folks point this out, it feels somewhat like arguing with a time traveler who hasn't really examined the state of the art and common techniques in 2017. It'd be like me demanding lambdas be added to Java or suggesting Javascript needs a better lexical scoping assignment primitive. It was a problem, but now we have new problems.
Those countries are small; the total population between them is less than any of UK, France, Japan or Germany, which indeed have a lower PPP per capita than the US. The nations you mentioned also have the advantage of being the "best" countries in their respective regions attracting lots of high skilled immigrants and FDI etc.
Not for me, it hasn't. I've been working remotely for ten years and making over twice what I was making when I started. I've been promoted several times and in the two job searches I have undertaken over this time period, both resulted in quick offers.
Point to one of such proposal, and we'll look at the resume.
You are reading this too literally. Pokemon was just an example there will be others based on the blockchain and yes it does have the same benefits that physical cards have. It's unique and doesn't need a centralized place to work.

Implementation details are not what's relevant here.
Performance isn't lowered to extend battery life, it's lowered because the degradation in old batteries makes it impossible to reliably run the processor at max clock; if you flip a switch to force high clocks despite an old battery, your phone will randomly shut down sometimes.

So they couldn't really run the CPU full speed for years. They sure could have, say, highlighted to users that a battery replacement can make an old phone run better for longer, but of course they'd much rather users replace their phones. Or, as another comment here suggested, they could have left more margin--overspecced the battery so it could run the CPU at higher speeds even once it was somewhat degraded, rather than putting so much of the efficiency gain over iPhone generations into thinness and lightness. Might also help battery life for heavy users.

I’m confused - what trouble are you having? I moved here 5 months ago and had no problem getting an apartment.
Mainly because SHA1 was convenient, but also Git uses SHA1. See this Linus rant:

https://marc.info/?l=git&m=148787047422954

Most of that argument applies, but if it ever becomes a problem, we should be able to move to something like SHA256 fairly easily.
I wasn't talking specifically about China, or specifically about America colonialism style slavery. But I would bet that there are plenty of people kidnaped and forcefully transported around the country on China for labor, that's what that kind of government normally does.

They may not be traded on degrading markets, but that just make people valueless from the point of view of a dictatorship. And I do actually expect people are being mutilated by the Chinese government all the time, we just probably don't hear about it. Again, that what this kind of government normally does.

> should 'forever be held against the USA' in the same essentially horrified way?

Yes! Of course. Do you think those of us who think Tiananmen Square was an atrocity that should not have been forgotten are waving away slavery or the current American prison system as forgiveable?

We’re not. America’s sins are many and we are squaring up to those too.

I have a hard time believing all of you posting this are actual HN readers and not paid political operatives. I don’t know how anyone could read this board and think none of us are criticizing the U.S.

On top of this, Unity is fantastic for prototyping, making it much better suited for game jams than most other engines.
You don't know anything about the bottom line. I made claims about the potential for use, not that it was actually used. You seem to be operating on the assumption that third world = mud huts and subsistence farming, which is very untrue.
I did this too. Trying not to slip on ice, break packages, or get chased by dogs made for an interesting winter.
I wish they did here. My daughter's present is in the UPS warehouse down the street right now, but I am told it won't be delivered and can't be picked up until Tuesday because the warehouse is closed on the weekend. The hell!?
Google and Microsoft both expressed concern about the potential Broadcom takeover of Qualcomm. And since Broadcom and Apple on on good graces one can't help but wonder Apple's influence in all of this especially when you consider the timing. If Broadcom does take over Qualcomm then Google needs to be prepared to pivot in the event Broadcom decides to take actions that are not aligned with Google's interests. I'd also like to see some real innovation in Android SoC's because there certainly hasn't been any from Qualcomm who's R&D strategy is now taking ARM's latest reference design, making a few modifications and calling it a day.
I'm currently working as a seasonal driver. UPS rented moving trucks for deliveries as well as portable storage units in residentials to shuttle packages to and have seasonal employees deliver them with golf carts.

A major problem was the golf cart drivers not showing up to work during the cold and rainy days this week. I stop by two of these storage units to grab their scanning devices and several nights this week they were completely filled. Apparently the employee failed to show and no one seems to monitor this closely enough. Lots of missed deliveries resulting from this.

From my perspective it seems like the company has in fact failed to scale at least in my hub. With the center aisle of the truck filled with probably person sized packages you have to climb over things often or simply try to efficiently detour on the fly to get them out of the way.

Hiring enough drivers to keep the center aisle clear on every truck seems like it would massively speed up drivers, I know it would for me. One possibly major hurdle in optimizing seems the range of package sizes. Packages going out can range from letters to the size of a door.

Just getting enough drivers may be a huge issue for them though. During my week long training class, I think half washed out. Several immigrants who couldn't keep up due to poor English or competency with the scanning device. I managed to help one older man from Greece get through the training, and I hope he managed to get through the season.

Also worth noting that the Department of Transportation limits the hours UPS (and presumably others?) delivery drivers can work to 60 hours per week, and this week they were permitted to go to 70 hours, with the 14 hour day limit still in place.
I'm not looking for a fight here, but I plead innocent to your accusations. I would not suggest I am any authority on the subject; quite the contrary. I have found it annoying, but I won't take responsibility for that. If I am ignorant, it's not due to a lack of interest or effort. I have tried researching it on the web and found:

1) No justification for keeping it enabled on my workstation.

2) A myriad of don't ask why beratements like yours which cause one to wonder if the author is more interested in belittling others or helping them.

I never assumed the warnings were wrong, but they were not helpful. The impositions of UAC on my workstation were severe and I never found an explanation that addressed why I need it.

If I obeyed the warnings of every computer safety expert, I would not even have a workstation to begin with. In life, one must choose their battles. I'm doing my best over here.

At risk of being attacked and down-voted again ,I'll ask a few questions if you don't mind:

In my experience using Linux, I could just type 'sudo' and be root. As far as I can tell, this does not protect as much as impose a level of mindfulness. What am I missing?

If Windows UAC serves an equivalent purpose, why are the consequences so much more severe?
This summer I worked at a startup in Luxembourg. I overheard a job interview my boss conducted, where an Australian with a PhD in machine learning asked for EUR60k as a salary. My boss decided to offer him EUR50k.

Costs of living in Luxembourg are about the same as in Santa Barbara (where I currently live).

I think median salaries in Luxembourg might be skewed by the presence of a large financial market (it's kind of a Wall St of Europe).
At least one commercial company I've heard of has a sophisticated permissioning model, so that the owner of the chain can publish it and have its causal history and/or integrity be validated by all participants, but with specific permission scopes so that subscribes to the blockchain can only see inside of transactions they have permissions for.

No, what they're saying is that the notion that you can "drain" the system pool is an urban legend created by a bad Linux man page. In reality, entropy isn't really ever "drained" from the system entropy pool.

I think you misunderstand how private blockchains work:

> "they can do the job more efficiently"

They ARE doing the job more efficiently by not using proof of work, and instead most likely going with a quorum approach based on public keys.

> it does not give incentives to the banks to spend a lot of computational power to the network

Right, because it doesn't use proof of work, it uses a quorum vote. The banks would still need to form a cartel in order to get a (super)majority of the vote.

Great question. On second thoughts, is there much to say except "Combine the parts you like from existing languages and the new things you want"? And, read stuff about how existing languages were designed.
While json fields in traditional SQL are useful in many ways (avoiding that infamous "extra" column) it really doesn't compare to mongodb. The aggregation framework in mongo for working with these documents is very powerful and if you run pg json fields to do anything other than retrieve extra fields (ie: if you try to query/aggregate it's fields meaningfully as you would a standard field) you'll find they fall over pretty fast with modest amounts of records.

The simple scalability of mongo (sharding/replication) is something that, while the recipient of much mocking initially, now at 3.6, gives enterprise level availability and scale with minimal oversight or expertise.

I'm really liking the features in 3.6 (over the wire compression, replication hardening, streaming query subscriptions to name a few) and every release packs a ton of features and improvements without breaking anything.

Postgre is a great relational database (one of my favorites) but its json field (which even mssql sports nowadays) is not a stand-in replacement for mongo in anyway way.
> people who are so poor that they don't have reliable access to banking services very often are lacking reliable access to internet connected computing devices

That's absolutely true when you get to the bottom ~3-4 billion people in the world. However it also used to be true about the ~2 billion people above them as well. Mobile banking - smart phones - have legitimately reshaped that for people in nations that have for example GDP per capita levels of around $3,000 to $8,000. It wasn't very long ago that the context for those people wasn't too dissimilar to that of what third world people are still dealing with today. Go back before ~2009 in small to mid size towns in Romania, Vietnam or Nigeria; today these people widely have access to easy, relatively secure banking via their phones. In the near future their mobile banking systems will provide easy access to something like Bitcoin as well, and obviously some of them already are.
It seems useful as way to keep records in poor or very corrupt countries without stable institutions. For example, if you don't have a very stable government, it seems like it is a good solution for keeping property records or storing voting records. It also seems like an alternative for creating universal financial records without requiring the same level of regulation. Fundamentally, the technology is disrupting the way government functions. However, if we live in countries with stable, existing governmental institutions it may be hard to fully understand the disruptive potential.
They are high. Apartment buildings in NYS are taxed so ARV (assessed rental value) so a $3M brownstone in Park Slope might only pay $700/month. A $3m condo might pay 3-4x that.

NYC can’t fix this and the state won’t because it’s beholden to SFH owners upstate who (now) don’t pay their fair share and don’t want to start now.

Additionally NYS doesn’t have Prop 13 but it has lots of things that look like it. Reduced increases, caps on rates, etc that greatly benefit incumbents.

Same as in California people raise the specter of evicting or bankrupting the elderly from their ancestral home if this was changed. It’s a false dilemma. You could easily relieve taxes because of hardship (or simply being over 65 for a principal residence) on a case by case basis.

Blocking is not normally equivalent to termination for most processes, and not all database activity is from human interaction.
I really miss the social aspect sometimes. Hangouts and Slack just don't substitute for real human interaction.
Great response. Based on my experience I agree with your points. I think it is important for wannabe consultants to also understand:

* Your perceived value is determined by your expertise and competence. There is no time for learning on the job. Hitting the deck running is absolutely essential in order to reinforce the perception that you are the expert at what you have been hired to do.

* In most cases you need face-to-face time with the client and stakeholders. This is essential at the beginning of any assignment and often necessary at milestones and hand-overs. So remote work requires a solidly established working relationship in order to be a win-win for all concerned.

* Running the business, i.e. prospecting, selling, negotiating, delivering, invoicing, collecting monies and managing a multitude of non-technical (not related to the actual task - but essential to keeping the client happy) issues - are critical and often overlooked by those starting out as consultants.

* After paying for your healthcare, travel, accommodation, taxes, equipment, legal costs, accounting services, allowing for uncollectable invoices, etc, etc you might actually not end up earning more than in a well paid job.

As for the travel, I have found success in staying in one city and making lots of connections and thus a reasonably steady source of work. The choice to pursue work in a variety of locations is obviously partly personal and partly a function of the clients you choose to work with.

> and enforce a completely artificial cost of production, to make non-scarce goods scarce?

Yes, that is the entire point of this blockchain stuff, isn't it? You get ownership of large natural numbers (coins) that would be trivial to copy otherwise.
This is why statistics never tell the full story. In California, ten people could be murdered outside your home every night versus one per week in Wyoming and Wyoming would still have the worse crime-rate.

Statistically sound, factually accurate, but still Wyoming would feel safer.

You also need to factor in the type of crime. If the only people getting shot are gang members then the crime-rate won't feel as close to home.
Sega Genisis.
Sounds like a black mirror episode...
Same here. I love working remote, and have been doing it for nearly 5 years now.

The idea of getting up early, getting into a car, driving an hour, and sitting at a table with 20 other people surrounding you in one of those open offices that are all the rage today... just kill me now.

This may sound trivial, but being able to take a dump in total privacy and comfort any time of the day is amazing.
I might live till then. I also might get hit by a bus.

I’m big on the idea of 80/20. Could I work twice as hard for significantly less than twice as much money, plus commute, plus stress myself out more? I could, but that sounds bad to me.
That's an interesting legal difference, but what's the moral difference? "Pay me to drop the lawsuit" and "pay me to drop the charges" feel like pretty much the same thing to me.
