Germany is also disproportionately generous with tax deductions and benefits for getting married and having children (not to mention childcare is free from 1 year of age in Berlin).

It isn’t easy to compare apples to apples but generally I’d guess in Europe highly paid professions are subsidizing the poor relative to the US.

It's Hacker News, where everything is somehow free speech and if you disagree with extremist conservatism, you're the enemy! /sarcasm

In all seriousness though, HN has an echo chamber, it's the inverse of Reddit. Reddit and HN function very similarly with their voting systems, and everyone knows Reddit is an extreme-left shithole, but HN is getting more conservative, I've definitely seen a lot more comments that are low-effort and look like they could be from T_D now that Reddit is banning a fuck-ton of them for brigading. Give it a few years and I guarantee this becomes T_Dv2 (or at least a lot more like /pol/).

"not signing it is a clear sign"

Not signing it would be a clear sign that he should find a normal every-day method of solving his "business partner is married" issue that doesn't involve a first-strike measure to leave her out in the cold because his side-projects are now worth money.

The funny thing is that on top of my business experience with using stock agreements to get around this issue in a business I helped to found, I've also dealt with coming into a bunch of money shortly after being married. Trying to get my wife to sign a post-nup agreement would have been horribly obnoxious and asking for strife.
Oh dear, seems like thin-skinned people here (who understandably want to remain anonymous) don't like factual posts about racial and political persecution in a certain "free country".

You might want to try HardenedBSD instead of regular FreeBSD though, to get all the exploit mitigation stuff.
Funny enough, a battery-powered DHT22 is my next project, so I don’t know yet! But in my other experience the expensive part is powering on the radio, which spikes to 200-300mA at startup and then will sustain around 80mA as long as it’s on.
I'm not familiar with the MORPHEUS proposal specifically, but I do have a tiny bit more knowledge of the SSITH program overall, and this has a terrible explanation of what it is. It's effectively about exploring (with working prototypes in mind) new instruction sets—or, in practice, modifying existing instruction sets—with mitigations for certain common classes of vulnerabilities implemented directly in hardware: specifically, vulnerabilities related to "permissions and privileges, buffer errors, resource management, information leakage, numeric errors, crypto errors, and code injection."

The original proposal says nothing about "unhackable", and in fact, specifically quotes someone as saying that eliminating these hardware vulnerabilities would, "…effectively close down more than 40% of the software doors intruders now have available to them"—a far cry from unhackability! It's pretty typical of both science reporting and marketing bluster to go from "addressing certain vulnerabilities to reduce intrusion by less than half" and end up at "unhackable".

The quotes here come from this announcement, from before the proposals were selected: https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2017-04-10
I don't think this is working the way he thinks it does.

What he's likely do is shielding the wifi receiver from co-channel interference, which is likely reducing the noise floor at the AP - which is giving him effectively more range, because now the AP can hear stations that are further away with greater ease.

I don't think this is giving expanded tx coverage lobes as his diagram indicates, its likely a function of lowering the noise floor that gives the extra coverage.
I used to work as a full stack dev for a web hosting / data center company in Norway.

What my current position is called I have yet to figure out, but I am designing and developing a control system for growing shrimp for a startup here in Mexico. It sounds super boring, but it's actually pretty cool stuff.

We've got a really cutting edge method of growing shrimp with the help of biofloc. My system started out as a way of monitoring and altering the health of this very fragile eco system of microbes, algae and such, but has since pivoted to a beast of a system which best can be described as shrimp as a service :p You come to us with a bunch of money and we will give you the way to grow shrimp more efficiently and eco-friendly than anyone else can claim to do today -- all without you needing any prior knowledge about the field, and most of the decisions are either digitized or outsourced on the fly. The system can also be used to grow shrimp with traditional methods more efficiently.

Big data is also a keyword, where we will constantly learn from participating farms how we can improve the process, detect known and unknown diseases, etc. We'd also like to get in on the distribution side of things once we have lots of farms under our umbrella, and with the ability to look at data and see where we can improve profitability for our customers we have a big advantage.

It's a lot of work, but it's tons of fun and I'm learning lots about a field I never in my wildest dreams would guess I would work in. And there there is something satisfying with digitizing a very analog field. Soon we will start hires to build my team, and our biggest investment round yet -- which will start a fun new phase for the company. We're looking for american investor money, so please let me know if you have an in ;)

I got the job by sheer coincidence. I was at some house party and met a guy who turned out to be a entrepeneur in desperate need of with the ability to make his idea into a product. I wasn't looking for a job, and he was pestering and begging me for months before I relented and promised to build him a prototype.

It doesn't pay a lot by american standards, but the buck lasts longer here so I'm doing pretty ok.
I was going to post the great Socrates quote on this topic - The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.[0], but like all quotes that follow Tillett’s Law [1] Socrates didn’t say it.

I misread "lego" as "logo" when reading the post, because that was my experience. Before having a computer at home took an extracurricular BASIC class which in hindsight I learned almost nothing from but it whet my appetite. The intermediate class had us draw stuff with Logo, which I felt was stupid, and turned me off of programming for awhile. Probably my fault, now Logo looks like an interesting language.

The overall approach is to:

- download and write a stock raspian image to an sd card

- tweak the init script at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init to create the ramdisk file system and to insert the download path + download + write part

- use mkinitramfs to create the image (read the man for mkinitramfs)

- replace the initramfs img in the SD boot partition with the one you've just built

- tweak the cmdline.txt and the config.txt files for the boot partition to use the new initrd

- pack the boot partition image.

I find this a bit confusing. That is exactly what a negative price means. There are points in time when you are paid to consume electricity (you need to take into account the transmission costs obviously). What is that if not less than free?

> In a grid with adequate storage capacity, negative prices would be extremely rare.

And to get more storage capacity into the grid, we need a price signal to incentivize for that, which, again, negative prices are.
How Europe lost its tech companies – Tech Altar
Rampant, ignorant answer.

I used Google Scholar to search for "iron from the sky", and read the documents which were free to read.

None answer your question directly. I got the impression that "heaven" was where the gods live. The http://www.ironfromthesky.org/?page_id=2 link I gave earlier says:

> They contain references to iron in numerous places, mainly featuring in funerary ceremonies, the reception of deceased kings to heaven and their subsequent life in heaven, as well as a specific association with the god Seth ... These dark, heavy, fossilised bones share strong visual similarity with desert-weathered iron meteorites; as such, they could be the source of inspiration for the Pyramid texts reference to the ‘iron bones of gods’.

I did not get a sense that it was restricted to a Pharaoh. The Atlas Obscura piece pointed out that the price of iron was 10x that of gold, so it had a price. It was also a burial good in graves other than that of a Pharoah. (Rich people, certainly.)

I also found https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/2397122/Vale... which talks about the Hittite phrases "They brought <<black iron>> of the sky from the sky" and "They brought iron from the sky", where "<<black iron>>" is the placeholder for Sumerogram AN.BAR GE, and is traditionally is interpreted as meteoric iron.

Since the Hittites were not Egyptian, and had a different religion, I don't think they would have picked up that word on the say-so of a Pharaoh. It's also different than the Egyptian word for "iron from the sky". Unfortunately, I can't find the page with that word; I just remember it begins with a "B".

No one mentioned chondrite. I see that the Camp Verde meteorite (coarse octahedrite) and the Winona meteorite (primitive achondrite) are two meteorites which have appeared in an archeological context.

> Other meteors have been located in ancient ruins of the Americas, as well as around the world, ranging in size from the three ounce Pojoaque meteorite, found in an ancient pottery bowl near Santa Fe, N.M., to the 3,407-pound Casas Grandes iron discovered in an Inca ruin near Chihuahua, Mexico. - https://web.archive.org/web/20110901053938/http://verdenews....

The Pojoaque meteorite is a pallasite.

None of these four are (if I understand correctly) chondrites. Given that chondrites are the most common meteorite, this suggests that they were not as significant in ancient cultures.

You'd be surprised at the changes that are possible with interior prosthetics alone. Alos, consider that about half the adult population can wear makeup without being considered remarkable for doing so.

With RC, you might be able to predict when a final reference count goes to zero (though in practice in large apps that might be difficult - I don’t have enough experience) but it doesn’t seem to help you predict the size of the memory graph released as a result, and therefore the time it might take to release it. The size could be determined by lists of arbitrary length that cannot be known statically. The size could be determined by implementation details intentionally hidden from the API consumer to preserve encapsulation.
I’m still willing to concede that RC is somewhat more predictable for current RC and tracing implementations, but in my brief experience I’ve observed that this predictability isn’t as significant as you would hope, and it’s very hard to make use of those predictions. One of the ways people try to make use of this predictability is by shipping references off to another thread to perform the decrement count off the main thread in case it hits zero and cascades into a large collection stall. That isn’t really a satisfactory solution and has its own problems.

... assuming that you can get wholesale rates rather than retail rates. Dynamic pricing for cost is something that California is working on. https://www.caiso.com/Documents/FlexibleResourcesHelpRenewab... describes some of the initiatives:

> ) increasing demand by expanding the ISO control area beyond California to other states so that low cost surplus energy can serve consumers over a large geographical area; 2) increase participation in the western Energy Imbalance Market in which real-time energy is made available in western states; 3) transition our cars and trucks to electricity; 4) offer consumers time-of-use rates that promote using electricity during the day when there is plentiful solar energy and the potential for oversupply is higher; 5) increase energy storage; and 6) increase the exibility of power plants to more quickly follow ISO instructions to change its generation output levels.

#4 (time of use rates) and #5 (storage) are aspects you are thinking of. That isn't the case in all markets.

The chart in the graph shows an 11k MW demand ramp up for 2016 from the lull in the early afternoon to the early evening peak demand. The market needs to be efficient - and also be able to properly handle the oversupply.

Another part of the "ug, this is complicated" comes into the cost of power hookups. Typically, that's done as a service fee on the power bill. But, if you have residential solar, you are demanding less power from the grid and paying less of the constant cost of the upkeep of the utility. This increases the service fees on the people who don't have residential solar. Also, there is the challenge of managing the residential solar as part of the smart grid - people may not want to curtail their solar mid day even if they're only making pennies - that solar investment that they made isn't going to pay itself off if it isn't generating.
I felt more socially confident (perhaps not confident exactly, though that was an aspect -- more strident). My sleep was at healthy times, for slightly longer, but the difference between being 'asleep' and 'awake' was, well, night and day. Rather than the slow, drawn-out waking, for which there's a gateway to very negative appraisal of the world. When I came back, I binged, heavily.

'In tatters', hmm... My self-regulation is poor but I'm desperately trying to claw upwards, so I have erected a lot of barriers between me and my lovely but drug-addicted friends, which gives me a lot of free time. I spend a lot of time purposefully and sanely researching things I want to learn, where I should learn them from, then feeling pooped out and gawping in front of YouTube or Reddit, then blaming myself for wasting time etc etc. It's hard to summarise, to be honest. Feeling 'locked-up' and 'scattered', maybe? I'm often exhausted by reading Reddit, it really feels like work. Honestly, I feel like I spend most days working intensely and not sleeping enough to manage it. Despite spending most of my time gaining weight on a desk chair, and not actually working.

I'm very gullible. I tend to remember a lot of what I read, and I'm naturally full of doubt, and over-analytical. So reading a thousand conflicting opinions on subjects makes me... A little loopy and conflicted. Like I'm always in last place, trying to catch up with the 'right' opinion on everything. There was a Reddit thread for the OP's link just today, where someone mentioned arguing with their girlfriend like an anonymous Redditor - I also definitely empathise with that one.

I have problems with eye contact, for sure, I tend to 'fall into' it if I look too long, as it seems to me to be a remarkably intense thing to hold eye contact for longer than an instant.

I was diagnosed with ADHD-PI in September, and haven't gotten on medication for it just yet (I've been disorganised...). I think reddit-like media is particularly bad for people like us. They say ADHD is more of a working memory disorder than anything, and I think we need our cache clearing regularly, let's say. A Reddit addiction tops it up at every opportunity.
I doubt it. I'm ironically busier than ever before, and also don't think I have that much interesting to say. I might start some kind of tech blog for our company once we grow a bit, tho.
I've been to the one in Amsterdam more than once and they work just fine. I've also tried a few other ones and so far they've all worked better than border guards. The reason is because you can fit more scanners on the same surface area than border guards. Even if one is not working "perfectly", I'm pretty sure the rate of people going through is higher regardless.

You got to find balance in your life - whole life. One of the big issues with burn out is that one thing takes over your whole life. Being the best employee is great but it comes at a cost to you. The sad part is that you can be the best. So good that you kill yourself but ultimately you're just a person that can be replaced. A small cog in the system. The problem is that you stopped looking forward to things because everything becomes the same - never changing, always hard. Reduce your work life and expand your life outside of work. Do things you wouldn't otherwise do. Get to the point where you start looking forward to things. It can be, spending time with your family or learning a new hobby or getting a new job. You need to figure it out for yourself by not just thinking of what you want but actually trying new things. Do a lot of volunteering until you find what you need. You need to get off the never ending merry go around that is your work life.

Also, money is not everything. You might need to get a job that pays less but is more fulfilling. I worked with a project manager that was very well paid and great at her job but she hated the pressure. She eventually decided to quit and now babysits cats and dogs. The job pays less but she loves her work. Good luck.
This. A logic class could do the same thing if you could get a good, modern logic class. Internalizing for loops, if-else, while, boolean, etc is a universal benefit that would help anyone break into programming.

Sadly, I've taken some really bad logic classes. Usually this is because they use terrible toy languages that are artificially difficult to work with. They should just do those classes in Javascript or python or something, after they cover the old Aristotelian logic bit. (Socrates is a man, all men are mortal...)

You could rig up a test suite to brute force truth tables and verify when you create correct logical statements. It would be a blast.

Instead you spend all year having to derive known logical theorems from scratch. Because reasons?

Example:!(x and y) == (!x or !y). I had a class where in the toy language it took a whole hour to derive that theorem. Instead, how about we have to draw out a truth table or actually use that statement? You can do that in half the time and get more from it. I've had to use that in programming all the time. You can flip if!(!x.isEmpty and !y.isEmpty) into if(y.isEmpty or x.isEmpty)... If I typed that right. Comes up all the time refactoring or simplifying logic.

I've seen many engineers do something like "I want you to freely change your mind to concur with what I believe as a result of my argument while ignoring the fact that I have placed these rules in the first place. "

The desire is for a free mind to make a decision by the fear of the outcome creates an incentive to create processes where the mind is no longer truly free. The "real" desire is never and can never be met because of fear imposed process.

Insofar as financial instruments are fungible/transferable, they ought to be transparently so. On

It's not about the financial instruments. I'm making the assumption that a "side project" that the spouse did with a few of his friends wasn't capital intensive, and it was knowledge based. As a software developer, if I were to start a business, it wouldn't be capital intensive at all. I would need partners that brought a set of skills to the table - maybe a few developers and a person with a marketing background or industry connections. The only costs besides time would be a bunch of AWS resources. The "investments" in my company wouldn't be financial, they would be expertise. Why would one assume that the person's spouse would have the expertise to make intelligent strategic decisions on the direction of the company? What if it were a law firm?

Do you think that Carl Icahn or Baine Capital have the same set of incentives as the employees or the founders of a company? They want to make their money and get out, their time horizon is a lot shorter.

The same could be said of the spouse of a founder. As founders, we would be more likely to care about the long term vision of the company. The spouse may just want to make any money she can right now.

Also, as I said, it retains the history and it shared is with other devices, provided that you consider that a plus.
> I find this a bit confusing. That is exactly what a negative price means.

For whom? Somebody is still paying to generate and store electricity and to maintain the grid. A mismatch between storage and demand therefore doesn't mean you get a refund. It means there is an economic imbalance that will result in costs some other unexpected way.
