Ask HN: How can I make 2K a month?
I'm a Python-based developer who has built and deployed end-to-end etc. I'm US-based with no visa issues etc, and I'm on contract with a BigCo. I have 5+ years of experience.

When my contract is up in a few months, I want to try to work remote and make, without fail, at least $500 a week. (That's the minimum I really need. More would also be good.)

The thing is, 1) I don't want to hustle, and 2) I want to live in a non-US time zone. I know on the online labor market I am competing against people in other time zones who are more skilled than I am, and who will work for less.

How can I leverage the fact that I can be in the US if needed at times, and that I speak fluent 'merican etc?

What I really want is to work for one company that will allow me to work over their night, and that will accept it when I occasionally say: sorry, couldn't work, both of my (two, different) ISP's were down.

If I do have to go the online route, what is the best current platform?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
And pushing up prices for the rest of the neighborhood. You have a good deal, but you are exactly the problem. Not sure you can complain about what you are bragging about contributing to.
How do you think they calculate Airbnb’s effect on rent in certain neighborhoods? It seems like a hard figure to prove.

There is already mechanical Turk for the cases the author described. There are many paid initiatives to label data that these companies employ. These "AI" companies sample sizes are small compared to the services they provide against them. Once divided up its pointless to think about them "paying" you and is counter to the point. They already are paying in the form of the service they are providing. I.e free storage, service etc.

Democratizing the data so more companies can use it to build products beyond these major concentration of platform players is a much more practical. This is similar to the personal data requests legislation that Europe already has in place. This would be an extension to enable competing services to access this data as their customers opt into the the service. Enabling more companies to build more competitive products (employ people working towards market competitive products) not trying to set "sustainable" sheep that feed from the same troff of the concentrated power of these companies. Certainly universal basic income; but that should be wholly independent of being subordinates to these service providers.
What would you say the differences are, based on your observations?

Resolving an HTTP request that returns a the result of a database call should not be this complicated! HTTP is simple! Why do we need so many calls to so many things. I'm not advocating for a flat stack of course, but certainly a stack this deep is a clear sign that something is wrong.

Http is pretty simple, executing sql queries against a database is simple-ish (close those connections!). Authentication, authorization, marshalling, unmarshalling, transaction boundaries, ..., are not so simple, especially not when all taken together.

People bemoan java as you are doing here, but the reality is other languages and frameworks, any that attempt to address the same problems and concerns have the same level of complexity. Java has the advantage of kick ass tooling, debugging, and monitoring infrasture, a lot in the jvm itself (visualvm).
I suppose most companies use Slack for ephemeral communication. If it blows up, you can just move somewhere else. It was still probably worth it as it is dead simple to set up.
They aren't free. You pay for them in high prices for good and services. Those companies pay advertising which increase prices plus their tech size profits. And because the stock market machine demands greater and greater profits they need larger stronger monopolies to generate those obscene profits.
So it's a publishing coincidence rather than a photographic one.
> The point here is that the proximate medical cause isn’t actually the complete cause.

I understand the spirit of this, but it's entirely subjective and way too open for interpretation.

I think by and large people do understand these things contribute to illness & death, they are just able to separate themselves from that reality on a day-to-day basis.
Housing structures don't (rarely) appreciate. In fact the opposite is true, as witnessed by my tax return each year.

The land as you state is a different story. I love the idea of a disposable trailer home I could replace every 20-30 years with new technology, unfortunately due to social attitudes prefab homes are almost exclusively marketed and built for lower incomes.
I like WebVOWL for visualizing the RDF ontology. Here's the pbprdf ontology displayed in it: http://www.visualdataweb.de/webvowl/#iri=https://raw.githubu...

You are likely to annoy many of your customers even further.

Including the word 'may' shifts the sentence from apologising for causing actual inconvenience, to apologising for causing a minor risk of possible inconvenience, which is not what you are trying to convey after selling someone something for a lot of money and then remotely breaking it at no notice.

In many customers, it is likely to elicit a response something along the lines of:

"Any inconvenience this may be causing? I'll give them may be causing. The fucking thing won't boot. May be fucking causing. I wasn't using the damn thing as a doorstop."

I like it! Just chiming in to say that, to oppose all the nay-sayers you'll always get on HN. I think I heard a similar concept pitched on a Startup Weekend once. The problem then was to make it so easy to use (seems you're on the right path there), maybe even without having to scan the QR code (add a 'Get in touch with my owner right now: ottomon.net/3az4xy' under the QR code, or something).

And to repeat what the other commenter said, why wouldn't you just print your phone number or email on there? Privacy is the biggest (only?) reason, I guess. Maybe you should focus more on that on your landing page. You want people to contact you if you parked someone in, but you don't want them to know your name and show up at your house at weird times just because they wanted to be friends with 'that guy with the expensive car'. People are weird.

How will you make it profitable, though? Only obvious thing I'd pay for is to get a nice pack of customized stickers/iron-on-patches/etc in various sizes.
This study seems to take that into account[1]:

> Restrictions on the import and sales of WHO Class I toxicity pesticides in 1995 and endosulfan in 1998, coincided with reductions in suicide in both men and women of all ages. 19,800 fewer suicides occurred in 1996-2005 compared to 1986 – 1995. Secular trends in unemployment, alcohol misuse, divorce, pesticide use and the years associated with Sri Lanka’s Civil war did not appear to be associated with these declines.

Here's another study[2]:

> Overall suicide mortality dropped by 21% between 2011 and 2015, from 18.3 to 14.3 per 100,000. The decline in pesticide suicides during this same period was larger than for overall suicides: from 8.5 to 4.2 per 100,000, a 50% reduction. This was accompanied by a smaller concurrent rise in non-pesticide suicide mortality with a 2% increase (9.9 to 10.1 per 100,000).

> "No physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics."

It's more accurately phrased as, "No physical theory of local hidden variables with observations that are statistically independent can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics."

This is actually a new loophole that 't Hooft is exploring in his cellular automata interpretation of quantum mechanics, ie. it has local hidden variables, but because all matter shares a common history from the Big Bang, no observations we can possibly make can be statistically independent of each other.

Over the last 10 months I tried most of the better React-based graphing packages (I say React-based because this excluded D3 and co. which are in JS).

I finally settled on Recharts (https://github.com/recharts/recharts).

I tried react-vis from Uber (https://github.com/uber/react-vis) and Victory (https://github.com/FormidableLabs/victory). Also looked at Amcharts (https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts3-react) but didn't quite have the full React 16 integration at the time and it's paid software.

I actually started with Recharts moved away and came back :). Probably not going to move again. I found it was the best at handling stacked bar charts, scaling and legends. Victory is pretty good but a large library because it includes Lodash. Also the legends don't seem to play nice so had to build my own.

The genius of it is that the best players in the world can get a 30 run win streak, so it's mostly about having a good strategy and playing well. On the other hand, you pretty much will need to know exactly how to beat the final boss, or spend several runs figuring it out...

So you are right, it's not noob friendly. On the other hand, it's one of the most sublimely balanced roguelikes.

Your point about the help page is really good, I'm going to figure out a better way to introduce the feature to new users. I was primarily thinking of users coming in via my YouTube channel in which I made a tutorial video, but I hadn't really thought about organic traffic.

Hyperbolic indeed.

No it's not. You're mixing up the value of the data with the value of your attention. The world has made a killing off of advertising long before personalization came about so saying it's all due to personalization is a bit silly imho.
The neurogenesis hypothesis was always more about mood/mental health rather than learning, I believe.

Just a reminder. (begin ...) sometimes is too magical, specialy inside modules. If someone want the nn magical versión, it should be replaced with (let () ...).
"It's practically an automatic response when people ask how to get better."

Again I say, look to people's actions, not their words. By their actions, a lot of people show that they believe that they can be exposed to the material either once, or a very small number of times, and retain it indefinitely (along with understanding not only the material but all implications of the material, automatically), and that when the material is not retained, it is perceived as a moral or character failing. If this was not true, "cramming" wouldn't even be a word.

This is merely one of the many places where what people say they believe deviates from what they demonstrate by their actions that they believe.

Further, I think it's also pretty obvious that many of the people who do in fact study, do so very inefficiently because they do it without knowledge or understanding of the issues raised by spaced repetition. I don't think you can just apply it blindly, but at the same time, you need to be aware of the basic issues and incorporate the insights. Another one of the classic study errors, at least from the perspective of retaining the material indefinitely, rather than just for a single test, which the structure of our modern formal schooling encourages, is to study this week's material this week and ram it into my head, then study next weeks material next week and ram that into my head, and so and so forth, rigidly partitioning what I study, based on the assumption that, again, once I jam it into my brain it'll stay there indefinitely. The correct way to study for something very heavily fact-based (like a medical program) in the steady-state is to spend maybe 60% on this week's stuff, 20% on last week's stuff, and the remaining 20% scattered through the stuff that you've had the hardest time retaining from the previous weeks, not 100% on this week's topic, and not X% on this week's topic and 100-X% evenly spread through "review" on the rest of the course, though that latter one is at least close enough to work.
No foul play, also managed to get same cert you got (with public key 92 e0 55 f9 af 61 0d 7e 7e db 21 84 d5 dc 59 21...).

Perhaps Google uses multiple certs with same Common Name on different servers. If so, I wonder if there's some security benefit.

Or what could the reason for that be?

Thanks for the feature request! I've had this feature request many time, it's on my list. But like UncleMeat said, it's a bit trickier because there isn't a 1-1 mapping. So I'll have to find some elegant UI pattern for this. I want to keep Note Kitchen very minimal and simple so I have to be careful about too many menus and buttons, etc.
Sounds like the situation is similar than to what a poster here is describing about NYC: AirBnB is taking away a tiny portion of housing, it matters a lot though because the government is making it hard to build because of zoning or similar constraints. We conclude it's easier to get rid of Airbnb than change what the government is doing although it's supposed to reorder us the people.

PTO is human resource jargon created in response to the curtailment of paid holidays for most American workers. Years ago, most businesses closed on Federal holidays and workers were off. Now, getting time off for "major Federal holidays" is probably above the median.

The dearth of paid holidays, reduction of paid sick leave, and the traditional two weeks of paid vacation a year get lumped together into "20 days PTO a year" sounds better than "ten days vacation, four sick days, and New Years, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas." When rationalized as "Why that's four weeks off per year!" management will tend to find it easier to convince themselves of their generosity.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that it's not very intuitive. I made a YouTube video explaining all the features: https://youtu.be/LFVomixflio

I'll put this on my todo list and try to figure out a way to provide help for first time visitors while not cluttering the UI for experienced users.
Great suggestions thanks! I'm writing this down.

I love this lie that everyone believes about rent control in NY where everyone is getting huge posh apartments for cheap.

Almost all "rent stabilized" apartments in Manhattan are within spitting distance or throwing distance of market rate. Once a significant number of them cross the $2700/mo threshold in a building, the rent destabilizes.

"Rent controlled" units account for less than 30,000 units in all of NYC. That number is never going up and that number is half of what it was 15 years ago. They are not 4BR apartments for $250 a month. This is a wonderful lie that middle class people believe because they don't actually know anyone with a rent controlled apartment -- they're kind of unicorns in the city.

The rent control board in NYC has approved the maximum increase after every single 2 year freeze since about 1990. Then landlords do improvements to get MCI increases as well. The median rent controlled unit in NYC rents for $1040 and is a studio.

The rent controlled 1BR that I live in has not ever been $250/mo and hasn't been under $1000/mo since maybe 1992.

This is nonsense.

Being in good shape is a direct visible sign of self discipline, ability to work towards goals despite pain, resilience, impulse control, patience, long term thinking, and many other positive traits.

It's literally the diametric opposite of what you suggest, in many ways it's arguably the only truly meaningful status symbol you can't buy, inherit, or win via lottery. You have no choice but to work for it.

Not to mention, besides its usefulness as a proxy for positive traits, it also has direct effects. Exercise leads to improved mental health and other effects that are directly applicable to doing a better job.

I think that's an important insight because it also plays a large part in many conspiracy theories. Basically if you look hard enough for any kind of statistical oddity you'll always end up finding something somewhere. If you only cherry-pick these data points and ignore the billions of "true negative" correlations it's easy to reach the craziest of conclusions. It's the same idea behind "anecdotes vs. data".
I think the rest of the world is just fine with understanding concepts or words that have overloaded meaning. I don't see how this is some showstopper idea.
