> Europe is catching up on the US average income too ... It means that recent US policy is not working in favour of the average citizen.

Western Europe isn't seeing faster wage growth than the US. Economically the US is pulling away from Germany, Britain, Italy and France. US income and GDP growth rates have been far higher the last 10 and 20 years than most of its peers.

Economically speaking, Germany's GDP hasn't net expanded since 2007, when it was $3.44 trillion (it was $3.46 trillion for 2016). France and Britain are similar. French GDP was $2.66 trillion in 2007, it was $2.46 trillion in 2016.

In that time, 2007 to 2016, the US added GDP larger than the entire German economy (about $4.5 trillion).

It's practically impossible to generate broad wage gains if you don't grow the whole economic pie. That's why French wages have been so stagnant for so long, despite all the supposedly labor friendly approaches there.

The US middle class has contracted because more people have moved up and out of the middle class and into the upper classes, than have moved down and out (that's true over 10, 20, 30 years of time):

The formerly extremely poor 1/2 of Europe in the East has seen dramatic improvement since the end of the USSR. You can see that dramatic improvement in several countries like Czech, Slovakia, Romania (more recently), etc. Many are still doing very poorly at growing their economies, including Bulgaria, Moldova, Hungary, Belarus, Macedonia, Albania, Ukraine, Croatia, Bosnia.

The median incomes of Latvia and Lithuania are still around 1/4 that of the US, Estonia is closer to 1/3 that of the US.
> Laws impact the economics of businesses operation

Absolutely, they do. That does not imply the laws are not arbitrary.

> If you don’t think there is a problem

The US remains a country where poor people want to immigrate to in enormous numbers. Maybe they see something you don't.

Also, the share of GDP spent by the government has gone up, up, up along with increasing inequality. Maybe you should look at that? Somebody is paying for that. I suspect it is a cause of increasing inequality. The spending is so enormous that to ignore it when discussing other economic trends seems unrealistic.
In the case of East Palo Alto, the disparity can be traced back to at least the prohibition era (1919). EPA was the openly "wet" town during prohibition (after the now forgotten city of Mayview's speakeasies were shutdown), and I speculate the behavioral norm to overlook laws, no matter how misguided, fostered an environment where other undesirable business ventures thrived.
Anybody know if the source for the "heavy lifting" is available? It seems to be done by libvraudio.so at least in the Unreal SDK and some other blobs in the Unity SDK. I can't find the source of these blobs anywhere.

One way that sites can use this service is to check whether a password has been leaked when users sign up. By handing over the SHA-1 hash of the password you're effectively trusting this service (and anyone who might have compromised it) with all your user's clear text passwords. Connecting the right password with the right user can be trivial in some circumstances, say because a site has a publicly visible sign-up date on profiles, or even if it just hands out sequential IDs to users.
I have lived in Austin for 3 years now and I work in tech. It's a fantastic city. Great weather throughout the year (very hot though - not everyone's cup of tea!), lots of gorgeous outdoor environments within very close proximity to the city center, and plenty of nice people, many of whom are newly-arrived transplants and are optimistic about life and looking to make new friends.

I'm the organizer of a bouldering meetup[1]. We started back in September but already have 250+ members. I'd say more than a third of them work in tech so it's great for networking too. :)

There have been a lot of negative things said about Jews and the Jewish community. From those who are ignorant (of which there are many), they will oppose the majority of a group for the actions of a few. This is applicable to many different groups.

What a lot of people have forgotten is that the vast majority of the first followers of Jesus Christ were Jews. There were sections of the Jewish leadership that wanted him dead and happily conspired with their political opponents and enemies to bring about this outcome.

Those first Jewish followers were persecuted and hunted down by the Jewish leadership. It is interesting that it was one of those ravening wolves by the name of Saul who ended up being one of the great evangelists for Jesus Christ going by the name of Paul.

The historical antipathy against Jews arose out of the idea that it was the Jews that killed Jesus Christ, when the crucifixion was carried out by the Romans (a particularly effective "law enforcement" technique under Roman law). This idea arose because of the claim by some of that Jewish leadership to having taken on the political kudos of causing his death - getting rid of a particularly thorny individual (thorny to their political and financial aspirations). Those in leadership who supported Jesus Christ were themselves attacked.

The fact that this Jewish sect had great impact on non-Jewish people and was the result of the evangelising by Jews is something that seems to be forgotten by and by.

Jesus Christ was sent to the Jews for the Jews and it went much further. So without the Jews, what is known as Christianity today would not exist. Without them we would not have the Good News.

I find it fascinating that amongst the Jews there is a growing group who recognise that Jesus Christ is their messiah and they are being persecuted by the various Jewish authorities for this recognition.

Without the Jews, the Gentiles are incomplete and without the Gentiles, the Jews are incomplete.
FWIW:
Recent data i saw tells me D. Del is not actually defendant friendly in patent cases :)

https://www.bna.com/rural-texas-judge-n57982086954/

If it was defendant friendly, they'd grant more summary judgement motions than most courts. They don't. They grant less.

The graph difference is that they split the summmary judgement outcome more on both the positive and negative side (IE they grant in part, deny in part).

It's hard to say more than that (because people who file in each court may file more types of claims, etc. So outside of the two extremes, which is grant in full or deny in full, it's hard to say whether the outcomes were "right")

However, you can see ED Tx is plaintiff friendly by far.
There is software which is already so optimized at the algorithm level, you have to use a low level language to fully exploit the hardware. For example with video games; if you can cram more/better content or achieve higher simulation fidelity/tickrate you improve the game experience and developers compete on that.

These are programs where selecting a different instruction to split a loop-carried dependency makes a significant difference. Data is carefully packed and reorganized between passes to optimally match the cache hierarchy. Good luck selling these developers uncontrollable per-access indirections and thunks.

Furthermore, this kind of code barely uses malloc/free, preferring instead to use custom allocation patterns tailored for each use case. If you replicate that in a higher level language, you effectively do your own memory management within a large block allocated by the runtime. So you are liable to write all of the same lifetime/indexing bugs in while using your shiny "safe" language.

In a funny way, reminds me of football: they'll bring out the chains to precisely measure the yardage... to a spot that was arbitrarily chosen by the ref. The refs do the best they can, but there's often no way they've spotted the ball exactly where the play died. The whole ceremony with the chains is ridiculous.

>I'd say the same way any criticism hurts the party believing it, not the one it's directed at.

That doesn't make any sense. If the criticism is accurate, then it hurts the criticized party because it's true, whether or not they accept the criticism.

> It increases your confidence in yourself without any corresponding increase in you real performance

You don't need to increase your performance if the other side is lying about how well it's doing and you know it. Your confidence in yourself is well-founded in this situation.

>In this case, public perception of superiority might lead to the US keeping its drug trials slow and expensive, reducing the amount of medical technology invented there compared to China.

If China is actually producing a significant amount of fraudulent research, then their development will be hindered by their own fraud, which is the point. If their technological development is premised on fraudulent research, it won't advance.

You seem to think this is just a matter of opinion that can be freely ignored. You seem to have a completely backwards understanding of the concept of criticism.

> Look, competition gets us things like Microsoft Windows and iOS. Cooperation gets us things like BSD and Linux. Competition gets us the Google Play App store. Cooperation gets us the Debian repository.

So first, which of those two competitors, BSD and Linux, was the wasted effort, then?

And, using Macs, Windows, and Linux all on a regular basis: based on that example I can't help but be fairly pro-competition. Windows is a far smoother experience to set up than Linux. Photoshop and Lightroom beat the hell out of Gimp/Darktable/Krita/whatever. Office similarly doesn't really have effective competitors. Those things all got good through competitive pressure, having to beat out the alternatives in order to be good enough for people to pay for.

We can't predict the future, what paths will be useful and what ones won't, well enough to scrap it.

Competition has its downsides and has to be corralled, but cooperation can lead to waste just as easily. Groupthink. Missed opportunities. Unexplored areas in the solution space because we guess wrong.

For anyone looking for engineering positions in Austin, we are hiring at athenahealth ($ATHN). Senior-level positions in C#/.NET (+Azure), JAVA (+AWS), ReactJS/Native, iOS/Android.

Our Austin office is where a lot of R&D happens and there is a huge push to re-platform into micro services. athenahealth also owns Epocrates, a very popular mobile app used by more than 600K providers. That product team is based here, too.

Great place to work, beautiful office, downtown location with parking included, and a very mission-driven culture. Find me on LinkedIn or my Gmail in my HN profile. Happy to connect you with the hiring managers.
Is this for educational purposes or for production-grade code?

Because you can take CPU profiles to create flame graphs to show stack depth and examine how much time is spent in different stack frames.

You can also run via node --inspect program.js to connect the chrome dev tools and take CPU profiles / heap snapshots that way.

I've run into a few issues doing this but they might be too niche for whatever it is you're doing:

1. Platform compatibility sucks. I think you can use perf on Linux or dtrace on OSX. On Windows there's xperf but you run into issues when you need to run things in elevated CMD but you don't have access to do so (not an uncommon situation in enterprise environments). In the end I gave up going this route

2. With doing this via the Chrome dev tools, I couldn't find a way to persist a .cpusnapshot to disk and load it later in Chrome. I wanted to do it on disk first because the whole thing crashes on me if the CPU snapshot runs longer than X minutes, so if the browser crashes with the file from disk I could try running it with the stackvis package. Again I couldn't run with node --perf_basic_prof because it's not cross-platform

I hope that helps.

You could do a Bloom filter on each bucket, each of which has about 500 items. This would reduce the size of the response from about 16k to < 1k. But it would be a lot harder to use since all clients would have to use the Bloom filter code correctly.
Ok going to try and answer these in order:

> Is this a crazy use of your service?

Nope, not a crazy use of the service at all! To be blunt, it might not be the most profitable for us, but we tried to structure our pricing that we could support edge cases.

> If I request the full-size thumbnail will it be a lossless image from the original video?

If you give us an h.264 input that is 1080p or less and request a png thumbnail without specifying width and height, the thumbnail will be lossless (no _additional_ loss over the png compression, to be precise for the pedants out there).

> Storyboards

Storyboards are working and in the final stages of development. We should have that documentation updated in the next few days.

> 30 thumbnail limit

That's a soft limit. We can do more than that, but we should talk if you're going to be blowing through that limit consistently.

> The thumbnail API doc says the timecode param is a float.

Yes, if you have constant framerate video. It's technically a 64bit floating point, so it's highly accurate. Due to the complexities around variable frame rates, we don't support frame-stepping in our API.

> Can I send you a hard-drive full of videos to ingest into your system?

One of our engineers volunteered to take care of it, so sure, we can make that work as a one-off. Probably not going to put that on the marketing site anytime soon and deny this conversation ever happened in a year :)

> signed playback_policy

That will be available very soon, followed shortly by other types of restrictions (geo, domain-based, etc). Anything specific you'd like to see there?

> pricing

We're happy to talk! We actually only store the mezzanine long-term and then encode into the different bitrates at request, so that's not the only consideration for storage. Feel free to shoot me an email (matt at our domain).
I have no idea what the correct answer is, but as this is one of those questions that matters, OP probably needs proper proper advice from someone you trust in the know.

If, for whatever reason, getting proper advice is not something you can get, this is perhaps the best of the info, as Siegel's Bio says https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=siegel:

I thought that talk was very apropos to the latest school shooting in Florida.
Oddly, I didn’t find any of that nuance or context in your original comment. You presented absolutes and the data proved you wrong. Maybe the population has grown by more than 10% in 2.5 years like food service employment. At the same time, the overall unemployment rate has fallen since the wage hikes started.
> That's because any line of code will impact on dozens of different things in the program

I'd say that's something to avoid whenever possible.

But that's just pushing the metaphor back a level: in order to know how to design your codebase so that it's well-organized and extensible, you have to have a pretty good understanding of what it does, what it needs to do, and how it does it.

For me... once I get into the zone on that, all the noise in the world can't distract me. But conversations by my desk, other people's music, drive-bys by the boss, all those things make it harder to get into the zone. (Though, for me, this means it's way easier to work around strangers in a truly shared space than around co-workers who I'm more likely to talk to.)

On the other hand: Foosball, ping pong, video games -- all those are obviously distractions. They're there to make it easier to take a break without checking out and going home for the day, but I've seen many people (shared office or no) fall into the trap of letting the job be the distraction from the play.
None of which are exclusive to low level languages. They're just easier to recognize and point at.

It's also remarkably easy to spot the trolls, e.g. "Spider Search Analytics LLC v. The Home Depot, Inc." and "Spider Search Analytics LLC v.

Data-mining this to build a real-time list of patent trolls could be fun.

One of them probably holds a patent on that though and would sue you for doing it.

I doubt the FDA is a net killer of people. I'm sure many people die while waiting for the FDA to approve new drugs but many more people would also die, become sick, or have adverse effects if there were no standards. Furthermore the standards the FDA sets for things you put in your body creates the confidence that allows this market to exist in the first place. In a market without the FDA drugs would hit the market faster and be cheaper but still reach far fewer people because public weariness of these products would be too high, and there would be far too many products claiming to do the same thing making it difficult for consumers and doctors to find the most effective treatments. Are FDA regulations 100% optimized? No, I'm sure it's a bureaucratic nightmare. But at this point the best thing we can do is try and further optimize these regulations -- throwing them out completely isn't really an option.

I've tried explaining this to manager and business type of people. I've even shown them articles and papers about this topic. All I've ever gotten is mocking and scoffs about how we aren't special snowflakes and how every job requires thinking and concentration. Maybe they are right.

I'm from the UK, we call soccer "football" here. The sport that people in the US call "football" we call "American Football". Many countries call soccer "football" (or variations thereof, depending on their native language). I've never heard anyone use the term "football" to describe rugby, though rugby (union) was supposedly a spinoff from football (rugby league came later). To add to the confusion, there are two other sports that have the name football, namely Gaelic Football and Aussie Rules Football, both of which are popular in their home countries.
