I can look for a paper book in a library, I can add it to my wish list at Amazon if the book is there, it is not always a hard cash investment.

And I love to read good reviews here, they spare me a lot of time I would otherwise use researching a service or product.

For me a good review of a paid resource must mention the price ballpark so people have a choice to follow the link or not. May be OP is just a happy customer and not affiliated with them in any way but IMHO the parent comment really sounds like a guerrilla marketing ad for me.

Remember what's going on, because Trump is doing the same thing, Turkey is just about 6-7 years ahead.
I have used both and found them equally consistent. But maybe my usage was superficial and I missed something.

> for example, a lot of so-called organic produce is the product of radiation-induced mutation

What's wrong with that? Is mutation not an organic process?
Great insight.

Been down and overwhelmed lately.It's easy to get stuck in grind mode and not take time to look around and remember what actually matters.
One thing I wonder- to what extent has the digitization of the job search process contributed to reduced wages? I can imagine several mechanisms that would cause this to reduce wage growth:
1. Widely available data on wages tends to introduce a lagging effect on wage inflation, because workers tend to look at data that is a least a couple of years old (imagine what pool of data is currently being used on glassdoor.com to create the salary estimate of that junior developer job you just looked at)
2. Recruiters have large amounts of data on current wages, and can negotiate from a greater position of power.
3. Recruiters have a larger pool of candidates to draw from and force to compete against eachother.
what is more interesting is his other project to make an application in pure C: https://github.com/richardjrossiii/CBasediOSApp.

Imagine having billions of dollars and all you can come up with is adding voice and video calling to a picture sharing app. I can't understand why anyone would do that, but giving away money is actually fun, though I can only imagine giving away billions...

As Chuck Feeney said once, it is their call what the rich do with their money, but they will get more satisfaction giving it when living than when dead. “Besides,” he added, “it’s a lot more fun.”
In addition it seems to me that labor is not a free market, simply because there is no choice to not offer your labor, since you'd starve. In large parts of the world anyway, and globalization has brought them into the 'free' market.

Ask HN: Best place to get suits for the wedding?
I have my wedding coming up in May, and I need to get suits for myself and 6 groomsmen. Anyone have advice on where to get suits?

I went to a local shop this weekend, inquiring about renting, and the price around here seems to be around $200-$250 per suit. However, it pains me to pay that much for a suit for ONE day! I would rather spend the same or a bit more and keep the suit.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like to stick to the $200-$250 price range if possible. The suits don't need to be some amazing super expensive material, but I still want them to be quality suits. Is it possible to find something like this?

On a side note, I came across this website- I could get a jacket and pants for <$200. Anyone know the quality, if it's legit or not?

You clearly underestimate the cost of providing fibre to every house. This is why in the past electricity, water and phone lines were rolled out by the government.
By saying "cookies and pixels" they are trying to downplay what they are really doing.
On a website where facebook pixel is installed, they track pretty much every form submitted and even the contents of those form submissions.

Okay, I got curious, but unfortunately that exact book title doesn't seem to exist.
Sure, but the procedure for testing vision is far more precise than how we diagnose issues with someone's mind. There's just no way to know 1) to what degree someone's neurology differs from the "norm" 2) if the adderall is truly having the effect of "normalizing" the patient's brain or if it just appears that way to an outside observer.

These are dangerous stimulants that are shockingly similar to readily abused street drugs.
US has many internet and software companies, you have FB, Google, Microsoft, Apple , I can't even name an EU company, I know that SUSE Linux is in Germany so it makes sense that on HN front page you will see this big companies and not some small EU company.

As an example in Romania, Microsoft was caught doing illegal things, they corrupted government people to buy tons of licenses, we should not wait for an EU company to do the same before investigating this MS issue. The fact that some other companies also bribed some other people should not affect the MS case.

I am not sure if the MS case even reached MSW top page, but if it were some small software company outside US it would not appear on HN at all, only on local press, so HN from page has a bias for big US companies
'Salt' is just salt, right?

I could never taste a tangible difference with those premium products marketed as "Sea Salt" flavoured.
I didn't quite get it either. Even the historical "resets" seemed too simplified. There are huge macroeconomic reasons for why dwellings and communities change. I find it interesting of no mention of a global economy influence and how the author seems to think everything is localized.
I don't excuse Google for having ceded to China's censorship. But that doesn't mean it isn't factually false to say "Searching 'tiananmen square' or 'tank' man' won't show any traces of those events" when that stopped happening almost a decade ago.

they are not left-wing. They lack of a common precise set of ideas for that. Some of them are racists and anti-immigration, some are pro-Putin, some are extreme conspiracy theorists. And most of them are not interested in anything more than seeing the old politicians burn in their own shit.

The chemical definition of "organic" would include pretty much anything edible except water and salt. The term is commonly used to refer to foods made using more natural-ish processes. Irradiating seeds goes very much against that vibe.

I'd be comfortable using flatware made out of the stuff.

The main health concerns aren't due to the fact that DU is highly radioactive in itself, but that tiny DU 'dust' particles break of from the munitions on impact and inhaling these particles can be very dangerous.

There is also some evidence that long term exposure to DU can lead birth defects and potentially other health problems, but the causality is very difficult to tease out.

So while I agree that DU isn't used because it is radioactive, that doesn't change the fact that it does potentially cause serious health issues.
The claim that sandwich-making is monopsonic seems dubious.

1. Face Id is wildly superior to anything else on the market
2. Apple's processors are still better than either Snapdragon or Exynos chips, though the latter is closing in
3. They still get a lot further on less RAM and battery
4. The iPhone X screen somewhat beats the S8/N8, though potentially not the S9
5. Their force touch implementation is better than Samsung's, too.

I love my note 8 and wouldn't part with it for any iOS device, but suggesting they're entirely noncompetitive is silly.

I think the labor market is free. If you choose not to offer your labor then you're not actually in the labor market are you?

Perhaps rather the market has become overly populated with workers and there isn't much choice in which opportunities you pursue.
Food always seemed a pretty free market to me, even though it's necessary. I was taught that free market is more about competition and access to information while necessity of the product mainly affected price inelasticity but that was econ 101 so idk if it's entirely accurate.
You also need demand for that type of labor, which can't be arbitraged by being performed in a different locale.

Also, they didn't really seek to keep expenses down where they could. Both the jack and the router are proprietary, for instance.

> Is it possible, from a market incentive perspective, to build a wireless ISP business where it's more profitable to increase last mile bandwidth or turn away customers, rather than overload a cell? I'm not sure.

As someone who's now lived >5 years in 3 locations, I've always found that there are things that oppose last mile bandwidth buildouts and there are things that don't matter.

What doesn't prevent capacity buildouts:

large costs (but within an order of magnitude or so of reasonable, I'm not talking "FTTH to a fishing village on a remote island" large costs)

technological limitations (again within an order of magnitude of what's possible)

What prevents capacity buildouts:

monopolies

cartels

absurd (and required) levels of capital investment (like buried fiber/copper capacity)

And you know what I find another huge positive about wireless networks ? There's 15 in every place I've lived. 2 "really" independent ones, 1 "more or less"/partially independent one, and a dozen or so that piggyback on the others' networks, providing for more price differentiation. Physically, there's room for something like up to 5 truly independent ones, using different frequency ranges. If the military were to get off half the spectrum, we can easily make that 20, so if the situation gets bad, there is an actual reserve. This means that governments can always threaten the existing providers with allowing another one in, in a way that they can't with wired networks.

Wired providers, there was never more than 2. Mostly there was just 1. Even when there were 2, they were absolutely not comparable (I mean, I've done telecommunications consulting for huge companies, I know there are really 50 or so, with 49 having extremely limited reach, unusable for consumers). This lead to monopoly, which lead to all sorts of shit situations, including bandwidth limits and turning away of customers. Even then, in the one place were 2 were available, the key to good service was to switch wired provider every 2 years.
...and one obvious answer is: as one of the largest companies doing this, they benefit more than all of those other corporations.

Also: from the jurisdiction's point of view, this is perhaps the only efficient way to allocate legal / judicial resources. You go after a small handful of big-name "make an example" cases, and hope that this deters use of the business strategy by the long tail of smaller companies you can't afford to go after.
Making money is itself a form of giving to the world. Assuming you aren't doing something illegal or something, you make money by providing goods or services that people value more than money - otherwise, they wouldn't give you money for those goods and services.

You're literally creating value. You're then capturing some (but not all!) of that value you created, and rather than doing what some people do (use that value only for yourself), you're giving that value to charity.
How likely is that to do $8B worth of good for the charity?
Shopping for groceries might be close to a free market, but the production of food certainly isn't.

Also, a big problem with the "free market" is inability and/or disincentive to price externalities, such as environmental damage. Although, it still seems to be a better system than others, we need to work on that front.

Legally-mandated golden parachutes?
You're right that the label "certified organic" is somewhat arbitrary. But it's a moot point for most sellers at organic farmers markets because they usually can't afford certification anyway. And many of them do not use pesticides of any kind, and if they do use something like Neem oil, they will tell you.

This does not solve the systemic issue, but knowing the person who knows your food definitely seems like it would be better than anonymous food at a grocery.

The linked article mentions outsourcing, but it was this other _fantastic_ article [1] on the structural issues of the current wage economy that really helped me understand just how different things are:

"Thirty years ago, she says, you could walk into any hotel in America and everyone in the building, from the cleaners to the security guards to the bartenders, was a direct hire, each worker on the same pay scale and enjoying the same benefits as everyone else. Today, they’re almost all indirect hires, employees of random, anonymous contracting companies: Laundry Inc., Rent-A-Guard Inc., Watery Margarita Inc. In 2015, the Government Accountability Office estimated that 40 percent of American workers were employed under some sort of “contingent” arrangement like this—from barbers to midwives to nuclear waste inspectors to symphony cellists. Since the downturn, the industry that has added the most jobs is not tech or retail or nursing. It is “temporary help services”—all the small, no-brand contractors who recruit workers and rent them out to bigger companies.

The effect of all this “domestic outsourcing”—and, let’s be honest, its actual purpose—is that workers get a lot less out of their jobs than they used to. One of Batt’s papers found that employees lose up to 40 percent of their salary when they’re “re-classified” as contractors. In 2013, the city of Memphis reportedly cut wages from $15 an hour to $10 after it fired its school bus drivers and forced them to reapply through a staffing agency. Some Walmart “lumpers,” the warehouse workers who carry boxes from trucks to shelves, have to show up every morning but only get paid if there’s enough work for them that day.

“This is what’s really driving wage inequality,” says David Weil, the former head of the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor and the author of The Fissured Workplace. “By shifting tasks to contractors, companies pay a price for a service rather than wages for work. That means they don’t have to think about training, career advancement or benefit provision.”"

Only real difference is grain size changing how intense salt flavor is when eaten in undissolved form.

Table salt has extremely salty flavor as tiny crystals dissolve instantly.

Sea Salts dissolve slower. Also flakiness makes it easier to control when salting things by hand.

Color of salt is meaningless.
I think Elixir is a wonderfully expressive language built on a strong foundation in the ErlangVM. It inherits Erlang's semantics which I've always liked.

Elm on the other hand inherits Javascript as its foundation, and the browser as its target. Javascript has an anemic standard library, and isn't a functional strongly typed language to begin with. Now since the browser is the target, file size is important, preventing Elm from simply shipping its own runtime + standard library.

I wonder if the current high wages in Silicon Valley are a function of job competition in other cities (tech jobs in Austin, Denver, NYC, etc) plus a highly mobile workforce. Tech workers tend to skew younger and are also able to work remotely in many cases.

I bring all this up, because I'm not sure it will be quite as applicable in other industries. It seems that many workers aren't willing to move for work and don't have the competitive salaries in other cities required to bring up the salary. I'm sure it's possible that the scheme could be broken up through other methods, but I'm having trouble seeing an avenue there.
The reverse is also (somewhat) true - this is at least part of the reason that governments effectively subsidize charitable donations, usually through some sort of tax exemption / deduction. It's a form of outsourcing aid.

Free market means you're free to choose, where you work, what to buy, where to sell. Its not free from consequences. You can most definitely not provide your labor, go and start a self sustaining farm ( you probably only need 1 - 2 acres of land in the right location )
Based on the example questions you posted, you are being paranoid. Neither one of those questions are terribly sensitive and it doesn't matter if the answers fall into the wrong hands. Your company isn't that special - many companies want to know the same things before they work with someone.

Three things:

1.) Security through obscurity never works.

2.) Based on the examples you posted, they aren't asking for anything special. In fact, they both seem like about the base level of security I would expect an enterprise ready company to provide. If you want to liberally enter n/a to cover up that you aren't big enough/don't have enough people/haven't implemented what they ask, that is dishonest.

3.) If questions like this cause you so much trouble, you need to seriously ask yourself whether working for a startup is for you. Due diligence processes (either initiated by an investor who wants to fund you, or a body that wants to acquire you) should be expected to go much deeper.
Your words are painful to read.

They're not called that, but they do exist. I recently went through a full day's testing for issues relating to autism and a number of the tests related to ability to hold focus rather than skill, per se.

One I recall vividly was basically a page full of weird symbols and a "key" at the top mapping symbols to numbers. I had to go through the whole page converting the entire page and various elements of my performance (variance of speed, attention, etc.) were measured during the task. This does not really correlate to what I'd consider focus or "flow" during typical programming tasks, however, but it did try my patience! :-)
