Folks making $100k in the Bay Area aren’t scraping by. Living in the Bay Area itself gives them opportunities and advantages they wouldn’t have in say Des Moines.

The folks making $100k are incredibly under taxed in the US. In Sweden, the top tax bracket kicks in at about $77,000.
> Anti-trust legislation or similar should be brought to bear here to break the unions into smaller competing unions or place them under a consent decree.

We can't. US law explicitly exempts unions from the monopsony and anti-trust laws that would allow us to force them to compete with each other. Unions successfully lobbied for that special protection decades ago, and now it'd be very hard to reverse.
Easy replacement of batteries is a problem only if you don't have an Apple store or Apple authorized service center nearby (which could be the case for many people across many countries). The batteries have been replaceable for a fee by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.
Yes. Developers would rather distribute outside of Mac app store.
The bug has been fixed since then:

That’s not actually true. That’s androids Demo, not apples.
It really was the best Android tablet to exist, ever. So much was good about it, though I can't say I'm surprised they've discontinued it.

I won't be buying Google anymore anyway -- combine their discontinue products habit, their contradictory liberal politics (e.g. James Demore memo) and outrageous influence given the amount of information they have has me disliking day-by-day to the point where I refuse to give them my money any longer.

Nail, meet coffin.
Thanks for your story. It's tough to avoid the tendency to assume the more visible individuals are representative of the group. But as you note, that usually isn't the case, so we should try to avoid doing so.
I think a software approach that should be considered is to dim the screen during throttle events. This has multiple benefits:

- clear user feedback in the moment of stress on the phone

- it would feel more like a battery issue, rather than feeling like a bug

- saves some power that can be used to make the processor throttling less dramatic

Ask HN: Challenges with employee onboarding?
How does your company do at employee onboarding? What problems have you faced?

Have you used any employee onboarding software that has really helped?
The priorities are different, though. The bank wants to maximize the amount of money that gets paid to them, you want to maximize the amount of money that gets paid to you. While the bank doesn't want you to go under, they also aren't necessarily thinking in your best interest either; getting your loan paid off and never needing another one is almost as bad a result for them as if you went under. This doesn't mean they're bad people, just that the incentives, while not fundamentally incompatible, are also not fully aligned.
> Tokyotreat is 17 items at $31.50/mo.

No it isn't. It is 17 items for 35 USD/month if you pay per month. It is 31.50 USD/month if you follow their 12 month prepay plan (aka sub for a year and pay in advance).

We also shouldn't put too much stress on the amount of items. It isn't descriptive of what's in the box. Tokyotreat is specific with what's in the box.

These services also seem to have more lightweight, cheaper deals:

* Japancrate's Mini is 5 items for 12 USD/month, original is 25 USD/month with 10 items (1 DIY kit), and the Premium is 30 USD/month with 15 items (1 DIY kit, 1 drink, and 1 bonus item so its 16).

* Sushicandy has a set of 20 for 16 USD, a set of 30 for 20 USD, and a set of 40 for 27 USD. With also, like Japancrate, the option to sub for 3 or 6 months.

* Wowbox has a 15% coupon right now, and has a "try it out" button on the landing page. That invites me to give it a whirl. They also have different themes, and allow me to select different size of packages.

* Kawaiibox specialises in the kawaii candy theme (I suppose? I'm very newbie to this whole theme stuff or Japanese candy but I am curious). Its 19.90 USD for 8-10 items with discount options available if you subscribe for longer. The discounts are modest: 18.90 USD for 18.20 USD for 6 or 12 months respectively.

* Tokyotreat I discussed above as it all started my post, but since GP mentioned 5 companies I want 5 bullets in list. Its more expensive than Candy Japan, but you also get more items.

Even though you had that detail wrong you are right that all of these are indeed cheaper than Candy Japan. I feel like Candy Japan is a very small business compared to these (which isn't going to volume, but then again the question is, is it going for quality then?) and no offence, but a 10% coupon on Candy Japan isn't going to cut it compared to the competition.

All seem to provide free shipping world-wide. Payment options vary. The ones I checked accepted credit card, some accepted PayPal as well but not all.

As a final note, again no offence but you're basically exporting some stuff you buy in bulk from some local stores. In my language we call companies that sell technology equipment with low margin "dozenschuiver" (box mover, aka Sokoban). 50 USD/hour isn't a bad wage at all in that field. Larger Asian stores (called toko here) might even sell Japanese candy. You can't compete with that, so you want it to remain a special niche.
Do you have any advice on how I could find someone who knows how to assemble a team like the one you described, for managing wet house?
Really? The numbers say otherwise. Take half that 100K for various taxes. Take $24K for rent. Leaves $24K for transportation, food, health care. Kind of a skinny chicken.

In Des Moines, you can buy a house for $100K. You can rent for $12K a year. Can ride a bike all over town, or live blocks from work. Its a whole different world.
It depends... Dirac is a counterexample, while Bohr is a supporting example. It may just be that experimentalist who can explain their ideas with clarity and passion are the ones we notice first/most?

>>> It is impossible to achieve 100% purity and 99.99% is the closest refiners can get.

Try again guardian. The Canada mint has been famously issuing 99.999% (5-nines) coins since the 90s. Anyone familiar with gold knows this. At least Google your facts before printing them.

And if you are really into gold as an investment, the Krugerrand is where it's at. They are an interesting design choice. While only 91% gold/9% copper, they are manufactured overweight so they still have exactly one troy ounce of gold. The copper makes them stronger, better for use as currency than the more shiny and decorative bars. Bars are for looking at. Rands are for buying things under the table.

For other AoE fans, I like this real-world map creator tool:

Yes, for example the horns that Marshall Fields/Macy's (as Chicago as you can get) collect snow inside the bell, which then creates a falling ice hazard. And they rope off the sidewalk under them. https://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/...
So what's something where we can come up with several plausible methods, but don't have the evidence to conclusively decide which method actually was used?

Many of your points contradict each other.

* Transaction fees go to the miners so high transaction fees mean more miners. There have been a few blocks now where the total transaction fees are larger than the built-in block reward.

* High transaction fees are an issue but they are also directly tied to price & usage. If bitcoin price/usage drops then transaction fees will drop. High transaction fees also make spamming useless/small transactions as part of a DOS quite expensive.

* Lost coins increase the price due to decreased supply.
I mean.. isn't your argument just as foolish? Lets talk numbers, real numbers, not anecdotes.

Why one sport may differ (less or more) is a difficult thing to discuss, as we likely don't have clear numbers. But isn't debating something like the number of concussions for each sport silly?
Ah, line-following. I assumed you were just replacing the walls with tape 'walls' that the mice could roll across but were not permitted to do so, and using outrigger sensors to detect and react when the mouse 'bumped' into a wall.
GP was specifically talking about NYC, so calling out the specific party in power there seemed relevant.
Depends.

1) Do you know how they work internally and maintain them (devops job).

Can you build them (ex: http://www.scylladb.com/career-post/software-developer/ ) ?

2) Build a nosql or contribute to an open-source one. See scylladb, seastar-project, seastar-pedis for examples. See https://github.com/phaistos-networks/Trinity and try to make it distributed (by including it in vespa.ai for example ). Create modules for redis. Contribute to citus-db.

Or look at stack overflow jobs site with distributed systems. See their requirements and start building a resume with those.

Makes sense ?
Give me a break please. From the post:

>First and foremost, we have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that.

I see 0 weasel words or dodging here. Give me a break hacker news. Thanks.
It's quite selfish to assume what's OK for you is ok for everyone else in a same situation.
That might be because I'm odd... But all I can catch them doing is trying to predict the next thing I'll consume and inserting themselves as a middle-men in any possible channel I can use to buy it.

Yes, they leak data like a sieve. But I don't see they using that data, except for defrauding people I buy stuff from.

Unpopular opinion, but I more often than not find the sites plastered with ads to be things I’m better off not having in my life. Junk news, clickbait lists, I just don’t bother.

There is a single site I use regularly that is ad ridden, and I use Brave for it basically exclusively. I can see that they accept Brave Payments as well, so I don’t feel too bad about it.

But you did not point out the inadequacy of the definition of the term, tacitly or otherwise; instead, you demonstrated the flaws in your own distortions of that definition. Consequently, it seems unlikely that there is a validation of your original point (whatever that was) somewhere in there.

If-and-only-if the sponsorship or product recommendation is properly disclosed as a paid promotion[1], this is a great way to handle product promotion.

> trust

This is the key feature. The advertiser risks trusting that the promoter will show their product in a positive light. The promoter risks their own reputation on the quality of their endorsements.

This element of risk hopefully serves as an incentive to maintain a high quality of both the product and the endorsement. Bad manufacturers and poor quality (or scandalous) services should lose access to trustworthy endorsers with (hopefully) large audiences. Good manufacturers and high quality services won't want to associate with cheap shills.

The only problem I see is that places like YouTube are not optimizing for quality endorsers. Their focus on engagement is driving away people that try to create quality; may have already left. Those that remain are becoming increasingly formulaic, uninspired, risk-adverse, and "advertiser safe".

[1] Which is required by law![2] This probably also means disclosing if you got a free copy for review purposes[3] of a product that would otherwise cost money or have a non-monetary value. The disclosure must also be "clear and conspicuous"[4].

"Designed by Apple in California"
Why in God’s name should an institution of higher learning have a nine-figure athletics budget? That is just pure lunacy. The NCAA represents everything that is sleazy and wrong with the relationship between colleges and athletic programs, that is why everyone hates them. When the reckoning finally comes, and it will, we will look back upon this period and marvel.
I see what you're fishing for. Look, if you want to accuse someone of racism, just come right out and say it.
Doesn't mean that new constructions shouldn't be built for the weather. You can't seriously suggest we shut off all public sidewalks in winter when trillion dollar corps can't even be considerate enough about public safety when designing ten million dollar storefronts.

Edit: if I lived there and was forced off the sidewalk because of this building I'd be furious. Apple's hubris knows no bounds.

Exactly!

That said, I’m a little surprised that Apple didn’t try to go above and beyond here. Heating elements along the roof edge would more or less eliminate this issue without changing the aesthetics.
Personally, I think pooping is a human right. Cities which don’t provide public toilets are de facto sanctifying defacating on the sidewalk.

It's way worse than that. Even primaries in NY are essentially coronations - the party, not the voters, is able to choose the candidate it wants to win. And since the two parties have a gentleman's agreement not to compete in each other's districts, the candidate that the party leadership chooses is guaranteed to win both the primary and the general election.

Sounds like they're exceptionally difficult when you don't house them as they end up in contact with police or medical staff.

Sometimes the best answer is to just give them their own space instead of a shared facility.

I've had plenty of contact with the homeless, have housed them in my own home for a night or three. They all have at least some kind of substance abuse problem (every one smoked, for instance). But if you push them out on the street, they'll end up eventually in the ER or in contact with police. This is way more expensive.
HN in the same breath:

- We miss the old internet of independent creators.

- We love ad blockers.

The rise of the second has in no small part injured the first. Money is a big incentive for independent creators, and removing it from the equation has a chilling effect.
It's even worse on the 3DS, pirates get an on-device store browser and install things directly. To my knowledge on the WiiU you still need to download and move it over via SD card.
I had a look at some .NET code integrating steam once and the integration itself looked quite clean and lightweight.

I'd be interested if people got banned or something like that for modifying games when they were clearly not hacking/cheating/cracking/impacting the experience of others.

From DSfix for Dark Souls I know that it can be fine with them if you hook function calls to improve rendering for example.

I imagine you also have to distinguish between Steam and VAC (anti-cheat) integration.
It is more like they require you to place cameras all over yourself, and the cameras are yours, not theirs.

I don't really know if one could require this. Seems complex. But add that the cameras are hidden (you don't know they are cameras) and it becomes a very simple issue.

Quantum computers will be good at a specific range of problems where interference can be taken advantage of. It drives me crazy how many people think they just go into a superposition and calculate all outcomes at the same time. It doesn't work that way.

And we still have to scale them with proper error correction. Who knows what the timeline for this looks like. Anyone who assumes "Moore's Law" isn't taking into consideration the fact that scaling here isn't as simple as multiplying the number of transistors in parallel.

To be useful they have to achieve entanglement between new qubits. Plus error correction and isolation have to also be scaled with that.
It takes about an hour of moderate to intense cardio before the endorphins begin to kick in, and for me personally that is when the mental benefits kick in. Mood goes up, sleep improves, better focus etc. I target to have at least 2-3 sessions of an hour and a half of cardio throughout the week in order to keep my mood up.
Parser and Lexer – How to Create a Compiler
The most egregious thing here is the implication that downtown Chicago has uninteresting architecture!
Perhaps I should have been more specific. That's the business model that I'm willing to support with my consumer dollars. If the business actually has a different model, and is deceptively trying to pretend it is a movie theater, it deserves to be called out on that.

I go to a movie theater to see movies. I don't go to an concession stand that happens to also show movies to buy candy, liquid candy, and popcorn at grossly overinflated prices. I can get all of those things at better price, selection, and quality from businesses that don't have theaters attached. Those businesses have no problems covering their overhead and operating costs without showing the movies. And I can't help noticing that they always have plenty of employees manning the popcorn machines, but whenever I have to find someone to fix the sound or picture on the movie, there are tumbleweeds blowing through the corridors.

It's the same reason I don't go into the secure area of an airport to buy sandwiches and coffee. I go to an airport to board a plane and go somewhere else. If I consider buying sandwiches on the way, they had better be the same price and quality as those found in a mall food court, where people are free to come and go, or those businesses are not getting my money. They never are, so I bring food through security if I can't just wait to eat until reaching my destination.

It is one thing to charge more because you are offering a convenience. It is another thing entirely to charge more because you are compensating for an artificially imposed inconvenience. The former is acceptable, and the latter is deplorable.

You’re getting downvotes because you cherry picked a paragraph and lost the forest for the trees.

Small businesses need working capital in the form of lines of credit to maintain cash flow as well as capital loans. Suppliers want cash in delivery or have short payment terms. Receivables don’t come in that way.

Small businesses often die due to cash flow problems, not fundamental business problems. The consolidation of banking is starving out small and medium business and reflects the decline of the overall American economy.

It's certainly not the only incentive for good behavior, and I don't think adding more lawsuits to the mix is the solution.
