I've written that code before, and I know better (but then, all the world's an x86 box, right?) But first, I'm not sure how to make that code not broken (yes, that's an education issue), and second, the same arguments can be made about all the issues Rust is designed to prevent.

This really should be a compiler warning.

All of the assets you have in Robinhood aren't actually held by Robinhood; they're held by Apex, which is a huge firm that many companies use. If Robinhood goes down, your assets are still with them and there'd be some reasonable way to transfer them to another brokerage.

If Apex goes down, which is vastly more unlikely, Federal SIPC insurance kicks in up to $500,000.

There was no welfare state for Ellis Island immigrants to fall back on. Indeed, about a third actually returned home[1]. And a large number were actually turned away after they had arrived here. Today, the situation is very different: if you can’t hack it here, why go back? The state will provide for you, probably much better than you could do if working at home (depending on where you came from). How many of today’s immigrants do you think actually go back?

> Why are low-skilled immigrants a net drain on society, but not the low-skilled children or grandchildren of immigrants?

Because those children are a sunk cost: they’re already here. Why compound the problem? The demand to come to the US is far too high to simply accept anyone who can make it here. And the fact that a greater percentage of immigrants are accepting welfare vs “natives”[2] indicates that we really are compounding the problem. We should be going almost exclusively for skilled immigration, like Australia does.

High Performance Computing (HPC)
Just going to point out that for pixel phones for example, you type in "pixel customer support" on google, click on the "contact us" button, and then answer a couple of (really easy) questions and are given the option to use an online chat or a phone call with support.

(I work at Google, but I had the same experience before I worked there). I think the best way of putting it is that (the consumer part of) maps is a library book, and that you wouldn't expect phone support for a library book. You would expect phone support for a product you buy, and you get that. (Google's service for pretty much all of their paid products is decent, or at least it exists). Did/does Microsoft offer phone support for their free software products? I just looked for help with outlook, and got directed to...a chatbot.

I think something that rhymes with "Bells Largo" would be a good place to start!

> there's no requisite that ATP/ respiration is the direction life is going to take

Based on the article I linked in my other comment I would say that on oxygen-rich planets, respiration is likely to happen simply because life needs to find a way to deal with it's toxicity, or perish. Although that presupposes that photosynthesis is inevitable, which also doesn't have to be true.

I kind of wonder how much we truly know about the strength of lock-in effects of evolution - of how much life is "stuck" with old hacks that we can no longer get rid of or that lead to dead ends. I doubt we'd ever evolve avian lungs from where we are now, for example. I know there are examples like that all over the place, but just how strong is the effect?
No links but I'm pretty sure they started off as actual ride-sharing, as in an app to help people car-pool. I'm assuming there was an "a-ha" moment when they realised the laws protecting state-authorized taxi services could be circumvented if you hailed the taxi via a phone app rather than by flagging them down.
Maybe it's just that it's interesting and useful to look at why folks have left a workplace that is otherwise hyped up as the best place to work in the industry. We hear plenty about Google being a great place to work. We don't hear so much about why people move on from it.
According to all that light print at the bottom of the website, up to $500K in securities are protected... and all your crypto belongs to whoever manages to grab it, sue all you like afterwards.
The whole revolutionary versus evolutionary argument is so dumb because it's so subjective.

In fact, I think I'm going to start flagging comments that complain about it as inducing flame wars because that's pretty much what it becomes.
You go in late. Shows never start at posted times. That's always how it's always worked and always will.
That demand is by design and is the price of a stable economy and is followed by more or less every country in the developed world.

Even in countries like Denmark (which is where I am originally from) and who have high taxes and a high degree of redistribution of wealth, you will find people who are poor and homeless.

Add to that the discussion about relative poverty and you will have a problem that can never be solved unless you give everyone one exactly the same.
I agree with the consistency point however there is never going to be a perfect for everyone version of consistency (in the same way there will never be a perfect pasta sauce that everyone picks as their absolute favorite).

For example I really don’t find their designs to be particularly no-nonsense.

I would actually prefer a more no-nonsense, absolutely minimally styled html. Like under 10 lines of css.

Because I really like contrast, really really don’t care for a position sticky element right where my eyes naturally scan on mobile obscuring stuff, am fine with Open Sans, don’t need the extra page load time spent on who knows what. If there is a dial between form and function I would like to jam that dial to 100% function. Other people with vision issues really need large text formatted as white in black. Others still much prefer the aethestics of font other than Open Sans.

It would be nice if somehow we could define precisely how we wanted our reading material formatted across all our devices and across all the varied ways we receive textual information. (Eg it would work with kindle, or in the growing number of electron apps, as well as in all the other software we use).

And then sites just had to provide a minimal use of semantic html elements to make it work.

So while medium does cleanup the box of chocolates mess of going to random blogs it turns all those chocolates into the one with the same minty flavor and some folks really don’t care for mint chocolates.

So when they see a random blog post to them it’s a box of chocolates where they have a shot of winning, with medium it guaranteed to be something they don’t care for.

Case in point I read another recent post don Stevie’s in my rss reader and that was pretty nice. Not sure if that will still be option (or for how long) now that he’s moving to medium.

>You end up making it harder for non diverse candidates and raising their bar.

You're right but that's fine. The argument though is that society has already imposed a 'higher bar' on "diverse candidates" (let's just be honest and call them minorities and the poor.) Think of it like this. A poor black girl named Keycia lives at home with her single mother and three siblings. She's studious but attends a bad public school, she works after school to help out at home, she takes care of her little brothers and sisters. Now compare to Chad, a white boy from an upper middle class family. He's also studious and also attends a public school but a good one with AP/IB classes, dual credit and so on. He doesn't work but he does play on one of the best lacrosse teams in the state and also swims.

All of which is to say it's two kids both working hard. Now, even with diversity initiatives, who's got a better chance of getting into Stanford? Hell who's got a better chance of getting into Iowa State? Or even being able to attend? Diversity initiatives exist to put these two kids on even ground. That's what equality of opportunity means.
Robinhood adds zero-fee cryptocurrency trading and tracking

Author of posted article here: thanks for the additional pointers. It seems that graphistry excels at visualization. Essentially, your offering confirms the main story of the article: make more out of your (graph) data by extracting it from Hadoop to a different tool.

And obviously, one should use the right tool for the purpose
. I think graphistry is a good choice for graph visualization, graph databases like ArangoDB or Neo4j will be good at ad hoc traversals. And multi-model databases like ArangoDB or OrientDB will be good at a wide range of ad hoc queries. Anyway, thanks again for the pointers.

There is a dangerous theme of companies aimed at millennials that misappropriate Bitcoin (etc) as an investment, when it is just glorified currency exchange speculation. Blurring these lines obscures the real-world value created through actual investments.

Because they will break any rule you set. People at concerts are inebriated and uninhibited. That's the point. So you do actually have to physically enforce any rules you want to exist at a rock show.

> The pure software world exists from Google's perspective, they provide zero support and then it's just a matter of individual choice if you want to use the service or not.

This is something only an engineer would say. In the real world, once you provide a service, you absolutely are on the hook— both ethically and in the mind of the average consumer— for providing some level of service when it goes wrong. “Don’t like, don’t use” is not an acceptable answer, especially in a business like this where outcomes like robbery, rape, etc. are all possible.
That sounds insanely dangerous. People often get brain damage from staying awake that long.
> This is not meh for many billions of people.

I agree. It’s not meh for many people.

I think that the more common it becomes, the more social mores are going to change to accomodate it. Once upon a time dressing like people do today was scandalous now it’s not.

"wisdom through concentration"

As a buddhist-ish person for a decade now, I follow the path that meditation allows us to see things (and ourselves) as they really are, not as we've constructed or interpreted them.

There may be other ways of achieving this, but meditation creates a space between the thoughts we have constantly. We can see our thoughts from the "don't believe your thoughts" perspective.

Or, our thoughts -- our consciousness -- is like logs in a stream, and we're not in the stream, but on the banks of the stream, watching the logs go by.

We are not our thoughts, we must observe our thoughts, and that requires practice, and meditation is a practice that allows us to develop this.

Thank you for this insight. These problems are reflected in modern media which push stories often source from social media (i.e. any sort of "outrage" on twitter is headlines these days). Such news stories are then also consumed via social media, creating a perverse sort of feedback loop that amplifies all the ugliest aspects of humanity. I find it insulting, and it astonishes me the number of people who sheepishly just go along with it.
No I get the point, but try and build a walking skeleton (ie, skateboard without first starting with the wheels/feet.

If you are critical for a moment, you can see these two concepts are not dissimilar. No matter what, you always have to make the smallest part first and add onto it.

Seriously, steps 1-4 building the large car are the exact same steps needed to build the small skateboard.

I think he's really trying to say "lower your requirements to go live", and then from their do incremental improvements. Does that seem like a fair assessment?

Possibly worth noting - each of these is a coercive system which has some aspect of a "monopoly on violence," just at different levels of abstraction. So by that definition, a clan could be considered a degenerate form of state.

Isn't it actually simpler than this?

To me, it's just about being aware of your surroundings, and acting appropriately.

The people who are disruptive at live events, movies, airplanes and other public places seem very focused on "what I want to do" and are ignorant of the fact that there are other people are around whose experience could be negatively impacted by their behavior.
You stopped at the first sentence? Sheesh... You missed all the context.

I read the link and it does indeed explain how his project failed because he wasn't continuously integrating his code in to the main branch. It's not just about CI, but actually _continuously_ integrating code.
Some people just can't say personally and openly to their boss that there is some problem in policy or system if they think it exists. So they trying to inform this way.

But it's not every case, some experienced specialists can just write story as summary to give some experience to young newcomers, to arouse interest, maybe answer possible questions.
I think there are circumstances where it's prudent, when reasonably practical, to have the means to summon assistance if things go sideways. However, you should be as prepared as possible to fend for yourself and, as you say, I find it almost bizarre to be anxious/fearful/freaked out just because you're separated from your smartphone.

ADDED: My concern is that there seems to be an increasing expectation that, if "they" don't make cellular coverage available everywhere they're creating an unsafe environment and something needs to be done about that. (And conversely, if I'm not always available, I'm being somehow irresponsible.)
Is addiction a completely foreign concept to you?
They acquired Android. Waymo and Tensorflow are cool r&d but not businesses.
Reminds me of the Billy Connolly joke about the two camera men filming a lion. The lion sees the two camera men and proceeds to chase after them. One camera man stops and puts on a pair of running shoes. His colleague tells him “You will never outrun the lion in those”. He replied, “I don’t need to outrun the lion, I just need to outrun you!!”.
My assumption here is that by "no-commissions" they mean that they're only making the bid/ask spread on transactions as a market maker?
Interesting, there are 39 pages for "why I left" vs 8 pages "why I joined". This is because bad news are always more popular, I suppose.
Playing with your cell phone is a lot less easily justified than singing bladly or dancing too wildly. If someone is talking over the concert or spilling beer on me I'm going to ask them to stop, too.
For me a key point of search stagnation is the search field / keyword search. There's so much more we could do if we enabled users to be explicit about search _context_ but it's hard to express that with the humble search field. Googles solution to context has been collecting tons of data on us and trying to guess. But what if we enabled users to be explicit about context e.g. looking for restaurants enabling users to express "I'm looking for a romantic location we haven't tried before for an evening with my wife" vs. "I'm at a client at 1pm and need a quick snack on the way"
Ultron, Hawkeye, and Iron Man are fictional characters. It’s easy to imagine an omnipotent programming AI, but we have no reason to believe any such thing could exist.

Quantum computers can be used for some optimization problems.
Maybe his analogies are off, and his communication is poor. Because I agree with the idea of starting small and getting going live sooner vs later.

The biggest reason for this is my clients almost universally change their mind multiple times as development goes. So instead of 100 requirements to go live, I ask them to pick the 10 most important. We go live in 2 months instead of 6, and then by month 3, 30-40 of the original requirements are dismissed as unimportant, and 10 new ones are discovered.

Real world use is an incredible tool to help determine real needs of the customer vs imagined needs generated from a committee.
The load time on that page is horrendous, or is it just me? It completely locked up my Chromebook, I couldn't even load the page completely. This happened twice in a row.
Yep you're right, it's just as much the fault of the corporations that are there. Startups are a big part of it, moving to SV just to form a startup locks a ton of qualified people out and unnecessarily jacks up your burn rate. You'd be far better off moving to Madison and hiring from University of Wisconsin where you still have Whole Foods and Trader Joes and a bike-friendly city and great public transport but your employees can buy their own house for $100k.

But people are part of the problem too. People move to SV to work for Google and Apple and Facebook but these aren't the only tech employers in the country. Sticking with Madison, Epic is huge and very high-tech. Ann Arbor MI has Duo, Arbor Networks, and Trove among many. And these places pay pretty darn well for the area, which means you're going to be taking home a lot more disposable income than you would in SV. The only downside is you won't be working for Google/Apple/Facebook, and you'd have to live in the Midwest which means dealing with other people. You might even have to shop at shudder Walmart.

"People" move there for the jobs... because that's where people just like them work. But I'll bet there's somewhere closer to home where they can work with people just like them but also experience other people frequently, make more money, work on just as interesting of projects, and come out better because of the experience.

I incidentally made the same search yesterday because I had the same question regarding the tone, in light of how the most recent viral post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16220666) utterly slams Google.

Unless there's corporate malfeasance, it's counterproductive in the long run to talk so badly about a former employer, especially on a forever-archived blog post. Even if it does feel good to let out pent-up thoughts.

When I wrote a blog post about leaving Apple (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14270897), I made a conscious effort to be objective with the rationale why I left (to grow my technical skills), and not emotionally judge Apple as a company (I still strongly support Apple).
