I'd also say that wealthier people want to live in suburbs, because there they can have a whole house for themselves while also maintaining some closeness to the city center. Only poor people or not-yet-settled foreigners really live inside the city even though their costs might even be higher than paying off a house in the suburbs. And now if you're a service provider where would you focus your services? On the monoculture with money in the suburbs or on the poor and very differentiated city dwellers? The other way around the city centers are also better for startups because you haven't got the infrastructure to provide for a large, high-demand customer base yet, and prefer a niche. Multicultural hot pots are better sources of small niches with low requirements.
They could have started for not having internal wars between Symbian and Maemo units.

Already when the first Maemo tablet was shown to us on internal demos, we saw the future, but it was unthinkable to have GSM support.

Followed by not having a bonus clause for the CEO to tank the company.

Thankfully they managed to survive, even if on a different shape.
I suppose that depends on what you categorise as 'high reward'.

I basically mess around writing software—something I like doing—for 6 hours a day, attend a few meetings, and every month somebody deposits a ludicrous amount of money into my bank account. And I'm not even working for one of the larger companies with correspondingly better salaries.

I'm certainly not going to become a cash millionaire off the back of it, but I'd wager that in aggregate the amount of investment one makes into a stable job at a large software company pays out more on average.

> most retirees don't use smart devices, even though they may have a cell phone.

Really would love a citation for that. My dad is 74, my step mom is retired in her late 60s, all of their church group of about 35 people — every single one has a tablet or smart phone. That’s anecdotal obviously, but this sample is a mix of retired blue and white collar people at a variety of incomes (and ethnic backgrounds.)

Retired boomers are a huge smart device market from my experience.
Yes. I would never have become the engineer that I am if people had always helped me when I asked.
This sounds harsh. In cases you are a significant contributor to a launch it should be signifiend in the "launch entry" (there's an internal tracking tool for all launches).

You then of course need to sell your contribution:

- It was nothing less than ciritical for the success of the project
- It required deep technical knowledge
- It required communication with other teams
- It required mastery of several technologies, etc.

The teammate in question should hepefully support these claims.
Does it backup my website like S3, or does it back up my personal files like Dropbox?

No. It backs up your files like tar. (Except with deduplication and encryption and cryptographic signing and off-site storage.)
There's thousands of law enforcement agencies in the U.S., handling tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of cases each year. If they break the law with respect to a small percentage of those cases, you'll end up with thousands of examples. But with respect to any given thing, statistically, the government is probably not breaking the law.

Here, the "Israel == Guantanamo" thing doesn't make sense if you assume that the government is using the Israeli hacks to break iPhones it has in custody because of a warrant or arrest. You can speculate that the government is stealing peoples' iPhones and breaking into them without a warrant, but it's an actual logical fallacy to point to different things the government is doing to argue that the government is doing this thing too.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I disagree. Creators, charities and public figures of all sizes and type use BuyMeACoffee to receive support.

The government is permitted to search anything that crosses the U.S. border. It's a power inherent to nations, which are entities defined by their borders. The founding generation provided for such searches and seizures in the very first session of Congress.

You might not like it, but border searches aren't illegal, and the government doesn't need to go to Israel to do them.

> developers find themselves having to write tests and fix bugs because the priorities of upper management didn't allow it

Well there's your problem. If fixing those bugs isn't aligned with the priorities of upper management then you are either working on unimportant bugs or your org is screwed. You going rogue certainly isn't the solution.

I see this a lot. Developers place their priorities and biases over actual business direction. And then feel shocked when they are told their contributions weren't impactful. I've shipped enough dead code that nobody really used but it checked a box on a sales call to know that quality software isn't always what we're selling.
Oh, I totally agree, this is a terrible, terrible feature for Facebook to implement and push. People's Facebook profiles are going to bring in all the divisive kind of politics and little of the worker-solidarity type.

> committees expect to see manager support so if a potential promotee has it, it doesn't mean a lot

Having been on a promotion committee a number of times, I have to say that manager feedback is generally pretty useless at face-value. A good manager will make sure the right peers write reviews and that the candidate didn't forget anything important. But the candidate can smooth over all of this themselves; my committee promoted someone who's manager feedback read something like "TODO: write this". That reflects poorly on the manager, not the candidate.

Looking for a proper study...

I find articles like this are too obviously pushing a specific viewpoint [1].

They use hard data to come up with 900 passenger vehicles per hour on a single lane at 25mph times an average of 1.6 passengers per vehicle = 1,440 people per hour.

Then they use hard data to come up with 50 buses / lane / hour. But then for the final calculation;

“A 60-foot articulated low-floor bus typically has 65 seats and can carry 55 standees (per manufacturer specification) meaning that we get a throughput of 6,000 people per hour.”

So they do the comparison based on every bus filled to absolute maximum capacity? But their own linked source claims average bus occupancy is 43 making the passenger volume 2,150.

The DOT has a great passage on their site worth quoting in its entirety;

The Bus Lane Paradox

“Bus lanes can provide a strong identity for public transit. They can reduce travel time, but only if they are designed to work properly. A single curbside lane is rarely effective. Designs which are self-enforcing, which accommodate commercial deliveries, and which permit stopped buses to be passed by other buses can be most useful. However, such designs may occupy a significant amount of street space. Where traffic is severely congested, bus lanes can provide the biggest benefit to bus passengers, but it is precisely in these places where it may be difficult to reduce the amount of space available for general traffic— and thereby seem to worsen congestion. Conversely, where there is plenty of road space available, it may be easy to install bus lanes, but they will provide few benefits, given that traffic is not likely to be congested.

On some urban streets, bus passengers account for a surprisingly high percentage of total person throughput. Focusing on moving people instead of simply moving vehicles will help to justify priority treatments for buses. Where transit users are a small fraction of street users, it will be more difficult to justify such treatments.” [3]

I like the site, I appreciate that it's straight-forward and simple, as it should be. A lot of Show HN's come out of the gate getting that wrong.

I found this section in the FAQ confusing, about what BMC charges:

"BuyMeACoffee is 100% free and do not charge a monthly fee or a percentage of the donation. We plan to charge a 5% platform fee in the future to support future development and expansion. So when a creator receives $100 from supporters, BMC will earn a $5 platform fee. However, rest assured that all our existing users (like you) won’t be charged, ever."

100% free. We plan to charge a 5% platform fee (what the hell is a platform fee). All our existing users won't be charged, ever.

What? That's an extremely poorly structured explanation on something that absolutely must be crystal clear (given it's core to what you're doing).

If you are still in college I would recommend joining your university's co-op program and try to work for companies that have gotten decent reviews from former co-op students.
Almost everything this guy learned except the exact details of the process, could be learned while you are still in college so you can make an informed decision on your first real job and probably have the opportunity to continue with whichever company you co-oped with after graduation if that is desired.
I address that at the bottom of my post. Keepass is the original, KeepassX is the Qt rewrite.

KeepassXC got Qt 5 support, a bunch of misc QOL improvement patches, is actively maintained (unlike KeepassX) and also received some nice extra features such as TOTP 2FA support. It's a superset of KeepassX, so there's no real reason to use KeepassX at this point.

There is a distinction between working a temp position and people that worked in factories for a career. I'd argue that temp positions will bias away from skill and devotion by the nature of position undermining your anecdote.

At a glance it seems like a making a mountain out of a mole hill, for sure. However let's say some unscroupulous person puts together a little device and anrdoid app, sells it to would-be criminals.

What I think the author fails to touch on well is the fact that transit is not sexy or at least not sexy yet, at least in the United States.

Have you ever noticed that most car commercials capture the essence of a confident person in control of their own destiny? I know it sounds like b* but they all do it.

The reality is drivers are in control of their own destiny if they were driving on a road by themselves.

The United States has to figure out a way to make mass transit sexy sooner rather than later,otherwise it will never work.

The hilarious thing is investing in High-Speed Rail maybe one of the best things that the US can do because not only will it make people happier if they run as efficiently as they do in Japan but the cost of goods could severely go down therefore eliminating some poverty which the u.s. census has reported that transportation or rather lack of access to it has been linked to poverty.

Older blue-collar workers are pretty much the only demographic left on Facebook, so I suppose this makes sense. Personally, I don't think I've logged in this year yet -- all my social circles have moved on to other networks.
I wonder whether the whole idea of a single “authentic” identity to present to friends, family, colleagues, etc. is fundamentally flawed. Humans are social beings, and that necessitates a certain agreeableness, which implies fluid and context-dependent social identities for each person. Not doing so affects range and depth of experience, IMHO.

In a bid to capture all aspects of your “true” identity (that too, for marketing purposes) Facebook is trying to force legibility [1] on something it fundamentally doesn’t understand. If it succeeds, then we might have the largest disaster caused by a bureaucracy, the kind one has learned to expect from reckless government planning [1,2].

Yeah. There is a metric crap-ton of the design of Make that is solely for the purpose of compiling and linking and document processing. That's actually part of what makes it annoying to use it for projects other than C or C++, when you don't need to compile or transform or depend on different formats.

I'm a little surprised that a visual designer wouldn't already be applying basic accessible design practices - but I guess it's not something most people think about day-to-day. Still, at the very least, consider running your palettes through a simulator such as:

This is similar in emergency situations. When you need somebody to call 911, don't ever say "Somebody please call 911!". You have to look at someone, point at them, and tell them "I need you to call 911". Most people will either stand in shock or think that someone else is on it.

Certainly it counts for something. And I fully support it leading to great reviews for OP. But being good at your job isn't the same as being able to do the next job up the promotion ladder.

Small countries have small elites that are far more likely to have gone through the same educational institutions and run in the same social circles. A corruption of back-scratching at the top, where consequences and laws are for the little people, rather than a culture of pervasive bribery.
