NPR Planet Money did an episode on this: "The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is $30 billion in debt to the U.S. Treasury. If it were a private company, it would be bankrupt. And instead of preventing risky behavior, the NFIP may be encouraging it. Among the NFIP's many problems are houses that flood again and again and again. Throughout the program's history, one percent of homes have been responsible for more than 25 percent of the claims. The NFIP can't drop these homes."

It can still be rational, but you need to look at shopping as an aggregate of probabilities.

Let's make it more extreme. A $50 item for free or $50 off a $5000 purchase. Discounts as big as 100% off don't come every day. Maybe you'll never see that deal again in your life. You should jump on it. Where as a 1% discount is something you see every day at dozens of stores. There will probably be a bigger discount next week, so don't bother going out of your way.

If you have to make a choice between the two, you choose the item with the less-common discount.
Right, the lower level stuff you're still looking for (cleanly designed classes and methods, good testing, etc), but you can hit all those micro-level targets without having any architecture to speak of.

(the "pile of classes" design pattern, where everything calls everything else and there's no hierarchy or anisotropy to it)

The other heuristic, besides "names make sense", is ease of modification. When you come back into an area of the system, how painful is it to disentangle that piece from the rest and make a significant change? Is the functioning of the entire system tied together tightly enough to make that difficult? Are there good patterns to extend, or is every change invented from scratch?
The cranberry juice thing is inconclusive, but I still drink a lot of it as well!

>Quite the contrary: doctors should know that that can happen.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. This is how I felt. It was silly to me that I could have all the symptoms of a UTI, only to have everything written off because of a clean urine sample. I think it was hopeful thinking on the doctor's part-- she just wanted me out of the bed so she could clear the waiting room.

How recurrent were your wife's UTIs, if you don't mind?
This is just off the cuff, studying is a lot like like interviewing someone, in that you should be interviewing yourself for the knowledge you are learning. Summarize, explain to a lay person, contextualize, how it applies across time and in the domain, apply, solve problems. One should be able to give an extemporaneous speech to an educated, but non-expert of about 20-40 seconds that sums up your knowledge, and at any point in time.
> "Yes, Starbucks is expensive, but you're not going to go bankrupt drinking their coffee."

I observed people spending 5$ both morning and lunch/day, but for arguments sake stick to 1/day. thats roughly 1300$/year. now imagine living paycheck to paycheck and spending that (very common). they end up taking on dept @20% interest.

in a 5 year window, just that spending on starbucks is effectively costing them nearly 10,000$.

edit: keep in mind, i heard the average 401k savings is ~5k
It's amazing how, showing a half-baked hardware project to a friend gets them a lot more exciting than showing them a nicely designed software project.

This might be something to think about when teaching programming to kids as well. Making an Arduino "do" something still involves programming, but with more tactile results and lower expectations for how much it has to resemble a professionally written app.

When behavioral economists do these studies and brag about counterintuitive results, they usually ignore that more expensive items usually have a longer lifespan, so the cost per unit time isn't as different as the sticker price suggests.
> I think comments like these are more likely propaganda than real experiences.

So you are calling redm a liar. Do you have anything to back up that accusation? Or are you calling them a liar purely because it suits your poorly-constructed narrative?

> When we all know statistically America is worse than ever before.

"We all know..." is false. What you mean is probably more along the lines of "This is what I think, without having done any research to support my wild claim."

> You read the parent comment and think the poor and just lazy

Where did the GP call the poor lazy?

> and all your have to do is work yourself a slave and suck corporate dick.

See above.

> Nope, it's always the corporate stooge.

Why are you accusing redm of being a 'corporate stooge'?

This is a wonderfully thoughtful response, and thank you for sharing it. While I'm not sure I agree with your final point, I share your feelings.
"I think comments like these are more likely propaganda than real experiences."

You would be incorrect. I'm right here, a real person, with real experiences.

"You read the parent comment and think the poor and just lazy and all your have to do is work yourself a slave and suck corporate dick."

I assume your trying to say "the poor `are` just lazy" and that wasn't what I said or was trying to say.

To the contrary, I think it's much harder to dig yourself out of a hole once your in it. In my case, during that period, I went from working in a high-rise to applying at Jack-in-the-Box because it was the only thing within walking distance and I couldn't even get that job.

I for one got lucky and found some opportunity, but that wasn't my point. My point was that, for me, hitting rock bottom, having a minimal safety net (i.e. not sleeping outdoors), was just enough for me to change my life perspective.

If you want to talk about your experiences or opinions, go for it, but don't dismiss mine as "propaganda".
Seems a good time to re-mention the ever impressive Fabrice Bellard and his RISCVEMU [1] which ran an early version of Fedora already half a year ago. You can even run it in the browser [2] ... and there's a version with X in the browser too! [3]. RISCVEMU is pretty fast but I don't know how it compares to QEMU (ironically also originally by him).

It’s Time to Start Considering the User Experience of Self-Driving Cars
We've been helping the poor for a long long time and we still have them. Either we are doing the wrong things (though we keep doing them, and asking for more of the same) or it's evidence that kind of help actually incentivizes what it's ostensibly trying to eradicate.
In OTHER WORDS, we have zero scientific data to prove the hoax that is climate alarmism, so instead we have pictures that prove nothing since there are no pictures around from the medieval warming period or before.

We know our thoughtless groupthink millennials eat this stuff up!
At the end of the day, the reason such a market hasn’t grown around programmers the way it has around financial instrument traders is because programmers are still in the “expense” column while traders are in the “income” column or at worst, the “cost of sales” column. Interestingly enough, many fintech companies tend to avoid this classification of their programmers. The closer programmers get to the incoming money spigot, the less they are treated as “expense” column line items.
> if you have a specialised workload (CPU heavy, storage heavy, etc) there's definitely cost savings at scale for DIY

I wasn't sure what your use "heavy" means here -- is it "a lot of" or "disproportionate"? Years ago there was much less flexibility with IaaS machine shapes, but I was super impressed when Google launched "custom machine types". There's a little slider to scale up/down your RAM/CPU independently, and of course storage is already independent. In fairness, there is some correlation between CPU allocation and storage IOPS, but that's inherent to scheduling a portion of the host machine reasonably.

I am poor and volunteered my voice on the subject of how poverty affects people. I specifically asked (as a question, not a substantive statement) whether or not my input was welcome. I have also made a point of saying that I have no issue with other perspectives. I can not speak to how you experience my intentions in my writing, but I will try to keep clarifying.

100% of society can't be brought out of poverty. Here's an example: If we motivated everyone to get a college education, we would have people flipping burgers who are college educated making min wage and living in poverty while struggling to put food on the table.
I have some old friends that work in the american intelligence community (CIA, NRO, etc.) and they've explained to me that you consent to a lot of things when you join the military and get clearance that don't apply to civilians. I asked why the Army/Navy completely block access to wikileaks, and I was told it's because people can "get in serious trouble" for looking at things that they don't have clearance for so blocking makes it much less likely there'll be a mistake when sites that host that content are all over the news.
Thank you for sharing your views on poverty. While HN is primarily about programming / tech, there is room for talk about society, etc. I don't agree with your points about being rate limited / banned, all views are valued here if they're inherently non-inflamatory.

Edit: Your Karma given your account is only 3 days old is quite contradicting of your views of HN
Not my point, but yes.
I hate seeing people's comments on stories around this topic. I grew up in poverty and food stamps from time to time. My dad was a roughneck and when the oil bust happened in the 80's there was a time we lived out of our car -- my whole family. here was literally nothing to do in the oil patch during that bust. There was literally no work. But people don't understand true hopelessness. My dad did everything he could to find a job during that time... for three months time we hardly had any food I guess because it wasn't easy to get on the program fast back then. Those that come out of a dire situation think everyone else can.

The ramifications of that happening to my dad will probably last multiple generations. He went from a loving father to a loathsome troll of a creature working nights in a oil refinery (I thought at the time) finally. From that my mom and dad divorced. My wife doesn't understand why I have severe dentals problems now in life, or other health issues that doctors told me are from stress. She doesn't understand why I stress so much about money and stay up at night.

I don't know why I'm saying all this the solution is simple but the problem is hard to acknowledge. The poor and destitute simply need help. We live in a society though that thinks someone else is going to take care of the problems. When we do finally give help it's so conditional and shamed that the hole of guilt someone fell in is practically inescapable.
Makes sense because htmlspecialchars() doesn't protect against malicious Vue template expressions, it only converts characters that are used to represent html tags, entities or attributes (<>"'&) IIRC.

I think another solution (besides v-pre) to "fixing" it (though you might say that relying on htmlspecialchars() to protect against user-supplied {{vue expressions}} was unwise to begin with) is to replace { and } with &#123; and &#125; after using htmlspecialchars/htmlentities.

EDIT: Another solution would be to pass a different set of delimiters to Vue that uses characters that would be escaped by htmlspecialchars, like demonstrated in [1] or like so:

Vue.options.delimiters = ['<%', '%>'];

Because writing a whole OS from scratch competing with giant companies and having to somehow magically go from 0 to a million apps (while being unpopular due to the few apps) is a good place to be in?

Instead, they could have gotten all the Android apps and the popularity of Android essentially for free.

It's even possible they could have overtaken Google and became the effective steward of the Android platform, since Google doesn't offer a version that can be installed by users and also doesn't offer their version to OEMs with no strings attached.

Again, they still can do that now, since there still isn't a version of Android that runs on any phone other than LineageOS, which is relatively underfunded.

[obviously what Mozilla would gain from this is market share for Firefox for Android]

How Alibaba’s AI Writer Is Starting the Content Revolution
Most larger ad networks track post-view conversion - that is, someone viewed an ad but didn't click on it, and then later visited the advertiser's site anyway - using a "conversion pixel." The ad network provides each advertiser with a HTML or JS snippet that loads an 1x1 pixel image or makes a similar small HTTP request to the ad network.

The ad network records a post-view conversion if either:

1. The ad network cookie that was set when the ad was served is still present, or

2. A user was logged in to the publisher's site (Google, Twitter, etc) when they viewed the ad, and is also logged in when they visit the advertiser's site.

#2 is also how most cross-device tracking occurs. For example, if you're logged in to Twitter on your phone and see a Twitter ad, then type in the advertiser's URL on your desktop where you're also logged in to Twitter (and the advertiser has Twitter's conversion pixel on their site), Twitter will record a cross-device post-view conversion.

Here are examples:

Twitter: https://business.twitter.com/en/advertising/campaign-types/i...

AdWords (for YouTube impressions): https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2375431?hl=en

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/a/performance-marketing-st...

Aside from blocking the ads, uBlock Origin blocks the conversion pixels/requests for the largest ad networks.

Often a conversion pixel snippet is used alongside retargeting/remarketing. Some ad networks use #2 above to do quite sophisticated retargeting, not just targeting those who viewed a specific page. For example, Google lets advertisers retarget AdWords ads to those who liked a video in the advertiser's YouTube channel: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2545661?hl=en&ref_...

You've heard the saying, give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime?

It's kind of like that. I coasted through most of my 20s, wasted a lot of time. I decided some years ago that I wanted to work as a dev, so I studied for a couple years and made it happen. But I have a large number of friends from early 20s to 40 (many of whom come from middle or upper-middle class families) that are perfectly happy coasting through life - they work in restaurants, bike shops, strip clubs, or take bouts of unemployment while on food stamps, etc. These are the urban equivalent of the trope of coal miners that refuse to learn new skills. Why are they like this? Because they are comfortable. You can live and be perfectly happily in a major city on 25k/year, living with roommates and on/off government assistance (though you'll never save money or advance). I'd raise the minimum wage significantly to help battle some of this (food stamps or housing assistance for people that work is corporate welfare in my eyes). But much change must come from within, and we have to find a way to motivate people.

So yes, help the poor - by providing education, healthcare, and time and opportunity to learn new skills when they are unemployed. But everything should be designed to encourage people to learn and contribute productively to society. No, it's not easy to make money, no, it's REALLY not easy to become comfortable, and yes, it's really, really difficult to become wealthy for 99% of people. But it's everyone's responsibility to try to contribute to society and we owe it to ourselves to strive for more.

Also grew up poor, and seen people of all income levels be cognitively lazy. I felt like I really started to get the way success works when I saw successful people waste money. I saw individuals make flippant decisions to throw away 50,000$ on software that their organization will never use. MSDN licenses for 100 people that can't and never will code. I've seen a salary man whose job it was to install software on tablets one day a year, the rest of the year he watched Netflix.

How Will Technology Change the World in 2018?-12 Alibaba Experts Share
As a tech worker in a startup in the midwest I find this article vaguely insulting. On the one hand I am happy to see more acknowledgement that tech does happen in places other than Silicon Valley, but on the other hand apparently it is only "mid-tech" and only good enough for "blue collar" workers.
I have family in the trades (electric & plumbing) - but I would love to hear from anyone who works in advanced manufacturing, automation, or other specializations about their career path and field growth/career longevity.

We're not going to have humans flipping burgers in a few years. A lot of these low-wage, low-skill jobs are finally on the brink of being automated. There will be new opportunities to replace them, as there always are. I'm pretty optimistic about the future of the economy - we have a huge number of skill-demanding fields that are growing, and many of them are facing real difficulty, which is exactly what creates demand.

A few things that struck me. Note I primarily do Facebook consulting so I'm pulling broad generalizations from there but I do run youtube ads as well.

1. Using predefined broad audience categories rarely works. Doing keyword targeting or specific video targeting usually works out better.

2. $10 cpm isn't high. I regularly spend $40+ on Facebook that can be 5x+ profitable ROI. Judging an ad buy only by cpm is short sighted at best.

3. 14k is a very small budget. I regularly spend 5-10k per day for folks. It takes volume and frequency to optimize. Even the amounts I spend as a freelancer makes me a small fish in regards to any serious agency and their clients.

4. It is far far too early to measure the effects of the campaign. CLTV (customer lifetime value) takes years to realize. Modern analytics tools are very useful to inform us on performance. They are not the end all be all and don't do an awesome job of multi touch attribution.

5. 1 ad isn't really a great test. For clients spending any real amount of budget I can pretty easily push out 300+ ad variations a month. To find something that gets you the kind of results you want it takes time, effort, and paying close attention to what's working and what isn't.

Overall it's an interesting case study but I caution folks to not simply take this as "youtube doesn't work" but rather what this person did on youtube doesn't work.
