I mean looking at so called Temp Work companies: in some sense they arbitrate jobs. Most of those happen to be quite low end. Speaking of Germany, when these are "hands-on positions" in big companies they compete with non-temp people. The difference is that they have worse pay, less insurance coverage and generally less say.

Others already made statistics and articles about this topics. It seems the workers loose.

Because that variable is likely insanely small. High paying jobs generally have a lot of anxiety associated with them, whether it’s difficult interviews, a great deal of education or whatever.
The title was changed to include "Pineapple Fund". At the time of my comment it said something like "Wealthy Bitcoin Millionaire ..." and the first thing I, and probably others, wondered is if there was a second person following Pine's example.
> where 0 is the “worst possible life” and 10 is the “best possible life.” (This author would give himself an eight.)

I guess the author is really satisfied with his life. I'd give myself no more than 5.
In my experience is usually a mix of both.
You can always download to a temporary location and only copy to the destination file if there is a difference. You don't need direct support from curl or whatever other tool generates the data.
you can choose to denounce your citizenship and stop paying taxes. but your also need to leave the country, and live as a stateless Pirate. and any state enforced rules don't apply so you better arm yourself to the teeth and hide from any roaming military.
> Of course, stepping from 40K to 100K in salary is practically life altering. Unless you absolutely suck at budgets you can easily get out of debt and start having real vacations. You can afford hobbies, etc.

I live in the Netherlands where 40K is quite a reasonable income. I really dont get why you would need 100k to do the things you need. Perhaps people need to become a bit more frugal?

People here in general don't have any debt (except for mortgages) and a vacation to an Asian country is 1-2k/month'(yes people sometimes do take 2 months vacations here). Even a month of Australia is only 3-4k. Hobbies? I don't know what kind of exotic hobbies people have in the bay area but even flying drones (relative expensive) is relative affordable if you get started with a cheap Chinese drone before you buy an Expensive one.

Rent, family size, location, etc probably makes a huge difference but I really don't think 100k is the magical number that you need to become happy.
Social media also provides strength of connection. How often do you communicate with the drug dealer, at what times, how often is your GPS position in his house for 5 minutes.

Probably everyone who isn't friendless on Facebook has a drug dealer in their immediate network. But using more data you can filter out the actual druggies with high confidence.
This is not true at all.

First, of course, there is no requirement for NULL to map to address zero.

Second even if you do en uo there, many architectures don't even have memory at 0x0. Spurious writes are spurious writes regardless of whether or not you get a fault. You are still not doing what you want to be doing.
Ah yes, bug counting. There is an even worse variant: when the manager only looks at the number of open bugs/issues, rather than what has been closed, or code that was checked in, etc. I had the misfortunate to work under such circumstances.

I was supposed to complete an existing project. Only problem was, new bugs kept getting added by the tester, and were then assigned to me by the project manager, so the number of issues kept growing. I would fix them (or existing ones) during the week, but at the next conference call it would still look like I was not making progress, because the total number of open issues did not shrink much.

This led to weekly inquiries of "when will it be done", and pointing out that it was essentially a moving target, due to circumstances beyond my control, did not help much. Eventually I did catch up, but the damage was done. Apparently this manager now thought of me as somebody who wasn't very productive. They moved me to another, completely unfamiliar project, where I got essentially no help from others, then decided that I was not productive enough and let me go.

In retrospect, being asked continuously when the project would be done, was an indication that I was the only one being blamed for its delay. I was afraid to rock the boat though, and quietly assumed that surely this manager was taking all the factors into account (especially since I did point them out a few times). As it turned out, they were not, and I will not make this mistake again, should a similar situation come up in a future job.
Being honest X-PACK is just a pain for the small developer, it should be opt-in by default and only installed by the user not the other way around, I would probably be using some parts of it like that.

I used to love Elastic even have a couple of small pull requests merged. I've felt bad for using such an awesome software for free and not giving back. But X-PACK changed that, I am now a bit afraid of putting my trust in the software and the first thing I do is uninstall X-PACK when I get my hands in an elastic cluster or github repo that carries it.
The World Wars brought with them massive advances in the fields of medicine and agricultural chemistry, helping to heal and feed billions of people.

That's not to say that technological innovation should be some perverse incentive for war, or that war even guarantees any benefits, but there are inadvertent benefits to some wars and other negative events in the world.
I'm sure the military industrial complex supports this very wealthy nation being freed from its spending constraints as well.

So err... where is C# / Mono in all this?
Not to diminish the technical accomplishment here, but that sounds like the very definition of tyranny of the majority.

Not to say that our current systems of manual moderation are perfect, but at least it's a step removed from mob rule, with recourse usually available if a video is wrongly flagged for simply expressing unpopular opinion.

If a video tries to express unpopular viewpoints at DTube, it would seem impossible for it to ever get listed again without waiting for the tides of public opinion to turn, which could take much longer if these kinds of moderation systems become prevalent and the majority could silence the voices of the minority so directly.

Decentralized moderation is a hard problem, and I don't claim to have a good solution myself, but I'd rather take centralized services over decentralized ones with moderation implemented as rule by majority with no recourse. That seems like a dangerously slippery slope towards dystopia.
A Potentially Game-Changing Message from the Dawn of Time
Only the text can express things that emojis cannot. This is not true to GUI vs command line.

The GUI, which can include arbitrary number of text boxes for command line style entry, is a superset of what the command line can do.
You will have a drug war on your hands, only way harder to enforce thanks to encryption.

It's a losing game, and I think you forget that there are way too many rich people in positions of power who like crypto for it to be successfully killed. The ruling classes actually like it more than the lower classes do.
Ah, okay, I was more focused on the user-controller relationship and not on the controller-processor deal.

If a company legally holding private data (i.e. a controller) gets a different subcontractor (a processor), they do not need new consent from the user; and the controller is still fully responsible for the data privacy.

In your example, you're a processor who operates the data with controller's authorization (let's avoid the word "consent"; this is a quite specific term in context of GDPR with a different meaning) - and they are responsible for ensuring that you will safeguard this data properly, so they can't transfer data to you if they don't have solid guarantees about what you'll do and not do with the data they're responsible for.

And the particular situation seems reasonable to me. You do not need to ask all SaaS customers for some action; as your links directly quote ".. or general written authorisation of the controller" i.e. your agreement can specify (if your customers are okay with that) that you're allowed to use other processors and change them. You do have to inform them about such changes (just as you informed them about the current subcontractors touching their data before they signed up, right?). If you change from Mailgun to Postmark, all you have to do is to send a notification to all your SaaS customers, and nobody is going to cancel over that. On the other hand, if you change from Mailgun to NigerianPrinceMailings Inc., then they might reasonably want to decline, so that's why the notification is required.
>Then they feed this data into the computer and algorithmically generate "unbiased" results that prove they should be harassing minorities....

Depends on how you use the data. If you learn success rates then it shouldn't depend on the absolute number of people searched. If you just feed raw data into machine learning algorithms, then nobody knows.

E.g. you have 100 stop and frisks, 50 in one and 50 in antother neighborhood. Then you might see that you got 1 criminal in one and 10 in the other neighborhood. Then your algorithm will allocate more forces (shouldn't go below a minimum, otherwise no data) in the 20% criminal neighborhood than in the 2% criminal neighborhood.

Obviously this will still lead to more searches in more criminal neighborhoods. But that's what you want. You want to use the police force as efficiently as possible to fight crime.
A megawatt for 8 hours, so 8 megawatt-hours. That's an obscene amount of energy, and probably out by a factor of 8.
This seem downvoted, but I would second the opinion. If you're capable of representing a dependency graph, you should be able to handle the tabs. If `make` does your job and the only problem is the tabs, it's not masochism, just pragmatism.
When I mentioned mail, I meant email which is exactly as easy to ignore as a DM.
I Googled to find the repository of a build system I wanted to mention and stumbled upon something else that I found interesting; https://shakebuild.com/

> Shake is a library for writing build systems. Most large projects have a custom-written build system, and developers working on the project are likely to run the build system many times a day, spending a noticeable amount of time waiting for the build system. This document explains why you might pick Shake over alternative tools for writing build systems (e.g. make, Ant, Scons).

https://shakebuild.com/why

Shake is written in Haskell and is open source.
In many ways I would say a non-faulting non-protected read or write from 0x0 is worse than a crashing protected read.
I like the concept of the app!
Especially how the fog view looks. However I think $17 is a bit steep for me to download the app.

One question directly arose me; ie I visited a place somewhere in Croatia now, come back to the app in 5 years, but the place in Croatia has been completely reconstructed. Will I see the state of when I was there or will it be the current state?
Another avid Bandcamp user reporting in. Streaming isn't an option at all - there's just too much music missing, or it might be missing someday. However I maintain a very large collection of music with lots of obscure and rare music, which is very different from most listeners, which are, frankly, very well served by Spotify - for a very cheap price. Too cheap. Nobody is earning any money from streaming.

I couldn't imagine renting my music and I don't think it's a working business model for anyone but Apple, Google & Co., who can handle a loss.

> That is totally different than writing a line of script that only you have ever run and assuming that because it works on your laptop, it will run everywhere.

huh?? No it's not. That's the whole discussion we are having now. I even specifically mentioned my macOS coworkers who develop on their Mac and are oblivious to case-sensitivity issues. Because "it worked for me."

> If an external package has scripts in it, those scripts have very likely been run by somebody on a mac and somebody on linux and worked in both cases.

Oh, I'd love for that to be true. But also not what I was referring to. Most large projects have a "scripts" section and those are no different than Makefile commands. If you're paranoid about your own Makefiles then you're going to need to be paranoid about your own package.json.
Nitpick s/he said s/he couldn’t run the repo. If someone posted that in our slack someone would jump in and ask what errors s/he was getting. Once we found a solution we would get the docs updated, usually by the person who found the problem since they have the most context.

People ask for help in different ways based on personality, skill set and experience. It’s more important to meet them where they are than sit back and smugly suggest they lack individual ownership.

No, you don't need mass war to catalyze major breakthroughs.

True, but it is also true that periods of heightened tension even short of shooting wars do accelerate development. The Space Race is the classic example. The Internet is also a product of the Cold War. The jet engine was developed in the period before WW2 when things were already looking fraught.

That’s historical fact; “worth it” is a whole ‘nother matter.

You can safely put your KDBX file on dropbox/gdrive/nextcloud/ipfs.
Canadian science wins billions in new budget
I'm not interested in getting into an argument about whether the ends justify the means.

Restrospectively wondering if the deaths of millions, which as a side effect inspired innovation, isn't exactly the same thing though. The murder of one person causes non existence of all of their future descendents, so the moral calculus of future lives isn't clear either.

Either way the original comment was callous and borderline sociopathic.
I cancelled my Spotify premium membership after being a customer for over 2 years, because they refuse to actually develop their application. Their music discovery and playlist radio functionality are horrific right now. They are on repeat essentially, with no way to unlike music that you have liked or accidentally liked.

Does it support offline mode ?

In my company, the sales team is often int the customer's building (for example for a demo) and often there is no wifi or any internet connection.
So, we're looking for a documentation system that can be synchronized when opened and works perfectly offline (including full-text search).

At this moment, we are testing Microsoft OneNote.

Well, except enabling you to buy your music from anywhere, DRM-free, playable with the software of your choice.

Is it really their fault that an all you can eat service for 10 bucks doesn't actually feed anyone, including the artists and the platform itself? It's simply too cheap.
How else would you put it, if that’s what’s happening on the streets?
The drug war hasn't really helped in putting illegal drugs into mainstream use.

Mainstream users will not use bitcoin if it becomes illegal. End of story. Maybe some people continue to use it but it'll probably be far below any drug usage levels.

>It's a losing game, and I think you forget that there are way too many rich people in positions of power who like crypto for it to be successfully killed. The ruling classes actually like it more than the lower classes do.

That's barely relevant because the "rich ruling classes" could still do it. I'm evaluating this as "what if they do" not "would they do"
There’s some weak evidence that stress is linked to cancer. It might not be true, but the idea isn’t ridiculous on its face.
Absolutely, but externalities don't justify the original act.

Definitely not denying the benefit that innovation brought, but just because the human testing on humans in concentration camps brought medical advances doesn't justify the original crime.

Yep. I spend about $1,500/month to live. Then there's Mapbox ~$500/month, SendGrid ~$500/month, and Linode $300/month. One part-time moderator as contractor $1,000/month, and part-time server guy as contractor $1,500/month.
So, yes inflammatory and yes it's early days, but I am interested in getting my head round Lightning, and this seemed an interesting take.

A second interesting take that I don't quite get is that the payment channel sets a limit on the amount of money (bitcoin) that can be transferred to the amount the parties commit in setting up the channel.

Also the money seems to be "locked up". let's say I want to have a payment channel between my employer and me. we set up a channel of the monthly amount. And then ... we pay me and Inwant to spend it onwards. so i cash out. that has now got two blockchain transactions and we need to do it again next month?

Or is there a way to onward spend still on the lightning network?

There is not a lot wrong with plea bargaining if an innocent suspect can except a fair trail, it trades a more lenient sentence for criminals for a more efficient, speedier and cheaper system.

The problem in the US is that poor innocent suspects have heavily stacked odds in a trail: multiple biases in judges and juries and no good lawyer with enough time for their defense. So an innocent must take the plea bargain because trail isn't a reasonable option.
In the linear regression model the points (x,y) have the following relationship (in the most simple example)

> y_t = x_t + e_t

where e_t is some error term. Would this be a statistical or probabilistic model?

We do know that the best predictor is just the conditional expectation (in a linear setting bla bla)

> y_pred = E[x_t + e_t | .. ] = x_t

Or is this what you mean with "model"? The predictor? Sorry for being a bit confused.
Looks nice and simple, I like the graphical style. Unfortunately I cannot try it out as putting the link on my site would be illegal in my country (Finland). Here's hoping we get more sensible laws in the future. :/
I'm facing a very similar problem. Same story as you, I would buy MP3 or pirate if they weren't easily made available. But the amount of research I would put in the music I was listening to was enormous, making me proud of my collection.

I was able to recognise any song in my collection in less than 5 seconds, give you the artist, how I discovered it and potentially an anecdote about them.

Now I have playlists full of stuff I know nothing about. It definitively solved the music distribution issue, but I have trouble to be emotionally attached to the music I discover on Spotify.

I think your theory about the IKEA effect is probably spot(ify) on
Looks like OP is the author behind the app, so I would suggest adding a "Show HN" to the title, for more kudos and feedback.

That said, congrats for the good work! I really like the idea, and I feel this problem very much. Currently picking up Swedish, and unable to find easy enough news worth reading every day, so I'm a bit stuck at that level "able to understand a bit but not enough to read everything".

Do you happen to have a roadmap about the addition of new languages? If Swedish was there I would totally go Pro.

> For the same reasons you might ever want a more specific term?

I asked why you might want this here and there's been no answer yet. Having a term for something you don't need or want to know isn't actually useful.

> What about assemblers or disassemblers? Given a suitably broad definition of compiler that includes transpilers, are they not also included? Wouldn't the same arguments apply?

Because these are actually useful qualifier, in the same way that "a C compiler" is a useful qualifier.
