This is covered by multiple answers to the same question and being able to ask for clarification.

Duplicates actually make it harder to find answers, now I have to go to 10 pages to find the different answers instead of the different answers to the same question all being on one page.

If the questions are significantly different enough they'll end up having their own page. SO isn't meant to be used like other forums, and if you need more help to figure out what you don't know you can jump in the Stack Overflow chat or go to another site like Quora or other forums.
Historians everywhere have kind of already done that by replacing the Dionysian era system with the Current Era notation system.

I tend to think it is an important detail. 1980 was nearly 40 years ago! It's hard to tag someone who's lived in a place for 40 years as a carpetbagger with a straight face. People put down a lot of roots over four decades.
The requirements for the kind of things described here often come from above us in the form of creative comps, feature requirements, timeline constraints with respect to required functionality, etc. This is something that should probably have been touched on in this article. I do completely agree with the sentiment, so I guess this is just me projecting frustration :)

Tom Lehrer is funny as hell, and his Elements Song is genuinely useful as an educational tool. Werner Von Braun is hysterical, MLF Lullaby is too (and scary), and Poisoning Pigeons In The Park still makes me cry laughing. Some of his life performances are up on YouTube, and I can’t recommend them enough!

I'm not saying everybody needs to know everything about everything, but I'm really not happy about people's lack of IT knowledge in a world that is only getting even more technical.

People really should know just a little bit about stuff they use every day.
More workers only equates to more leverage if they can collectively exert control to suppress production, like via a strike.

Apart from that, more workers who are mostly interchangeable have lower leverage to increase their wages.
US income tax became more progressive after the tax reform
The post didn't specify it was all short term gains. But even if they are, you still get to deduct your losses from any future capital gains once you sell at a loss. You and a lot of other replies seem to think I was saying it's impossible and arguing against that.

It's not. It's just highly improbably and extremely imprudent.

Alternatively, his altcoins bounce back up, he sells them and this time pays the tax properly.
It'll always be cheaper to pay minimum wage to mop floors vs a $250,000+ "AI Mopping Machine" that requires a $55hr Tech to maintain.
reconciling creativity with the market is a really longstanding problem in lots of areas. so I'm really interested in discussion that leads to any insight.

I'm curious about 1 before 2. Any attempt I've made in the past to understand market interest without having something that people can actually touch has always been really squishy. People aren't that interested to talk, when you do they always say something like 'well, sure, I guess that sounds interesting'. People that seem really interested usually don't have enough bandwidth for a beta product evaluation, even though they will say they are really excited and want to help.
Often, product uptake comes from an unexpected direction/vertical, just by accident.

So while in principle getting customer-based design information up front is ideal, in practice it seems like you don't get that much no matter how much you try.

Maybe you're suggesting iterating on 1 and 2 until you feel like you have a solid case for 3?
The idea is to progressively increase minimum wage, until it starts to affect unemployment rate. After that point, it may be a better policy to increase fiscal redistribution, through welfare, basic income, etc.
So glad to see this sentiment here, while every other HN post is about Javascript framework of the month.

This is how you make stuff on the web.
Cryptocoins appear to have drastically more adoption than any of those.
This article highlight a really interesting point here:

Trust.

And even if there are the “proof-of-work” people are going to distrust that “it’s a mathematical proof”. Just look at Trumps alt-facts and “fake news”. You don’t need to go even that far to find people putting money under the mattress because they distrust authorities. And even if math is “universal” people are going to mistrust it because they don’t understand it. I don’t think they will ever trust bitcoin. And I think they are in a majority.
Vikings might have navigated to Iceland using polarizing “sunstones”
That's pithy, but there's no particular reason to believe it is true. You may find futurism amusing, but the future is not guaranteed to be better unless we make good decisions. The fact that something is futuristic does not make it inherently better, and believing that is does is just the mirror version of traditionalism.

There is ample evidence that stable, predictable institutions are the main driver of improved quality of life in the west. The libertarian instinct to tear down these institutions instead of putting in the hard work to make sure they are well run is counterproductive.
Eh I can understand it. In our society it really seems that nothing is sacred and it's really easy to empathize with someone who just wants one thing to go untainted by capitalism
Supply and demand does a great job of explaining depressed wages. We had two kinds supply shocks in the recent history in the labor market. One is women entering the workforce and the second is mass immigration.

Both coincided at the end of the 60s and 70s. Exactly since then wages are not correlated to productivity anymore and are basically stagnating.
Super common situation is you make a couple trades in 2017'Q4 and 2018'Q1 during the bubble and just decide the whole thing is stupid and forget about it all because you never realized anything in USD and it's all fake. And then the IRS comes and says actually you owe USD. And the price dropped back down so you might not even have enough to cover it!
Except what happens is that business want to release a completed feature. But you're half-way through your monthly deploy cycle and thereby have to either push the date or force your process faster.

TheCoelacanth made a sibling comment to yours which I think addresses the idea very well:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16774940
Traditional supply and demand economics implies open and equal information for buyer (employer) and seller (employee). For goods and services, there is transparency in the price of a product. In the labor relationship, the buyer (employer) holds almost all of the information that impacts price (wages).

- Employers know how many candidates they have for a position.

- Employers know what they have paid for that position in the past.

- Employers can often afford to wait longer to decide.

It should also be noted that the US taxes wages at a higher rate than investment or dividend earnings. This may distort the market as certain income streams are incentivized over others.
I don't think that it does in itself, actually; but there seems to be the perception that it does.

How much would you pay for an hour of video of me digging a hole with a spade and then filling it in. That's proof of work, and also worthless.

How much would you pay for someone to provably burn ton of coal? It's only valuable if it does something useful for the energy expended.

The blockchain's proof of work has been characterised as "Computers yelling Numberwang at each other" and what use does it have outside of itself? It burns huge amounts of of energy to produce waste heat and a trivial hash.

What is the difference between economics and power relations?

Human nature I understand -- people have mental/emotional shortcuts that are not precise and accurate rational analysis.
I would predict that there is a lot of work that would otherwise be done, if minimum wage was lower, that simply will not be done at all. Or it'll be done under the table.
If you live in SF and are interested in the history of entrepreneurship, definitely get out to the Presidio and tour the museum.

Even if you're not a Disney fan, it tells the story of an entrepreneur in one of the most dynamic ways imaginable, from a faux recreation of his boyhood living room in Marceline, MS to his apex as creator of a global brand.

There is a cinematic feel to the design of the museum itself. Highly recommend!

[ASK] HowTo catch some Fraud Scenarios in ecommerce – INTERVIEW Q
Hello Dear friends,

this is interview question and I will like to brainstrom with you guys. Lets say you are interviewing for ecommerce company, what are the things you will look to catch fraud scenarios.

Lets assume there are following things in this system:
1) Buyer
2) Seller
3) Recommendations for Buyer and Seller (buyer rate Seller and Seller rates buyer)
4) Order Processing
5) Payment
6) Purchase

Again this is just open ended question and skys the limit for the solution. So, wanted to see how many ways we can catch fraud scenarios. This may/may not involve any machine learning algorithms.

Cheers!

> Whether or not it's simple is a short-sighted human judgement.

You realize I was talking about your "contamination" (e.g. bacterial organisms, microscopic lifeforms, etc)?

> We risk denying these planets the ability to evolve in isolation.

Seems like a fairly limited risk. It is more likely these planets have no form of life at all and that we'd seed their only life (if it could sustain there).

> Great measures have been taken to reduce the risk of contaminating other planets with Earth based lifeforms.

You're conflating craft that were designed to land on other planets and look for life on them, with a space craft.
>One thing is sure, if you're hanging on to the past you'll always lose in the end.

Well, people chasing after the latest fad lose much faster...
Is that true? A corporation that relies on 50,000+ employees to deliver a service or product, and those employees collectively stop working?
Short-term CGT is basically your ordinary income tax rate. So if you are taxed around 50%, then you aren't in the USA since the top rate is 39.6%. Also, your ordinary income tax rate depends on your income, the rate for $120k is 28% (but that only applies to income after 90k, before that it is taxed at 25% or less). You would only be taxed at 39.6% for gains after $418k.
I'm from Austin, but I haven't live there since I moved away for college. This attitude, that Austin is destined to become a "megacity" or that Austin is now showing signs of "inauthenticity", is both amusing and somewhat disgusting to me.

Austin, to me, was never about "[Keeping] Austin Weird" (a slogan born from a marketing campaign, not some organic cultural movement, in 2000), or about its "flourishing musical subculture". Austin is and will always be, I think, simply home to me. The author's obsession with these, to be honest, relatively meaningless aspects of Austin's national (or international) image strikes me as the most inauthentic thing about people that call themselves Austinites.

Where true authenticity is found in the mourning of the inevitable transformation of cities is when a city's ability to be home is lost. When people are displaced from areas that mean more to them than some hip music venue, or the place where I met Willie Nelson. Give me a break.
Hi HN - Andy from Tettra here, the author of this post.

I wrote this article because startups tend to be a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows. In my opinion there's not enough open discussion about the low points. Usually when a startup founder gets asked, how's it going?", they automatically respond, "we're killing it."

This is my attempt to shed some light on what we actually did to turn around our startup from almost failing to getting to profitability.

Tried to be as honest as possible about what happened with our real numbers. Would love to hear your comments, feedback or answer any questions here in the thread.
True, until the AI mopping machine is 500$ and it us cheaper to throw it away and replace it when breaks.

People say that a lot about the internet – that nobody knew what it would be useful for at the time it was invented. It had MORE uses than originally foreseen (same as computers) but one of the internet pioneers chimed in on the comments thread to the first article saying that actually they did know exactly why they built the internet at the time they built it: they wanted a better way to send messages and share files, so they built one, and the day it was built it was the best way in the world to do that. Same with IBM - scope wasn't foreseen, but those machines were the best in the world for the purposes they were designed for.

But the myth that people create amazing technology that has no use (TCP/IP, the computer), and then a decade later people discover what it's useful for, is just that: a myth.

What the appropriate value for minimum wage is largely a social question not an economic one. I would stipulate, however, that whatever you think that value is it should probably be a real value, not nominal. The real value of our minimum wage has gone up here and there but it took a huge hit in the 80s and hasn't ever been adjusted back up to what it was before then.
Supply and demand does a poor job at explaining anything. The price changed.. why? Was it because it moved toward an equilibrium, from the equilibrium, has the demand curve shifted, has the supply curve shifted?

The problems of general equilibrium approach are quite succinctly described in Keen: Debunking Economics. And compared to approach in Blatt: Dynamic Economic Systems, it's a disaster - too many parameters and assumptions for too little explaining power. It was a pretty decent way to describe the world when Walras came up with it; but it should have been obsoleted years ago.
Yeah that's one scary way to start a headline.
"Less valuable" is not a relevant concept when discussing the distribution of profits of the overall business. If the overall business is profitable, obviously the business could afford to pay workers more.

Agreed.
I don't entirely grok your question, but it sometimes does take walkouts to exert force to obtain wage concessions (teacher strikes, pilot strikes, etc).

Teachers striking in several states are exerting enough force to obtain meaningful wage increases.

I mean, it'd be malicious if that's what I was after. I don't engage in these discussions because I'm a troll, I engage because I think they're important. It's possible that every "believer" throughout history is delusional and yanking your chain...seems like too much work though.
We missed target but it was because the client changed a major requirement half way through after they saw it working the way they originally requested. I believe that if that didn't happen we would have hit target.

Another argument against up-front estimating and fixed cost projects. It doesn't take into consideration things like that.

But to that point, really target + what it took to do the estimation. So an extra week + the money..
How Morality Changes in a Foreign Language (2016)
Not just in political news. On the Youtube shooting day, about 1 hour after the incident when the head cop briefed the press, CNN's "expert" was already confident that it was a love triangle.

Of course, they are kicking themselves for it, they could've had a field day if they found out the shooter had a muslim background.

I used the kernel module for a few days and didn't notice any problems on a laptop running Fedora.

The kernel module is less that 100 lines long, hopefully it's simple enough to not cause trouble...
I'm not arguing that it isn't uncomfortable, nor that people aren't justified in their unhappiness, I am arguing that the desire to use policy to express that unhappiness and uncomfortability upon the polity is wrong (I would even say it's selfish). Their comfort when "things were better" was built upon the market at the snapshot in time they enjoyed it. To demand that the market revert to that time is, by definition, regressive.
I totally agree, this is a way better format than the slideshare service through linkedin.

My old boss moved to Bend, OR, but was surprised when I did not follow him. He did not give me a pay raise to afford the $400k entry house for my family. I could have lived out in the sticks, but wanted to be able to walk to downtown, like I do now.

I think he is wrong, this is more likely to happen next year.
Well, it's driven by the laws of this universe, ultimately. At the level of inanimate matter, that's thermodynamics and such. At our level, it's meta stuff like evolutionary processes.

There's power in there, for sure. There's instinct and emotion, too. There's thinking and reason also. It's an all of the above type of thing. But we tend to stick to the things that are most obvious to us individually.

The universe is a giant computer on a path to compute some kind of humongous outcome. We're just execution units carrying out subroutines. We may or may not have some freedom locally (that's another debate).
so, create a crisis like 'russian meddling' to do the same here, you are saying?

It is possible that low skill jobs are simply less valued to the economy. Because life must be made hard for those down, so it can be made easy for... urm... those who already have enough.

Point in case shows once more that that isn't even true.
I think Stack Overflow is great and it's helped me a lot in the past, but I'm not sure how useful it'll be in the future. I've been learning Elm the past few weeks and have noticed a lack of good SO questions and answers on it. It's a smaller community, but I also think many people go to the Elm Slack channel to ask their questions, which they get in realtime.

Not sure if that's just an Elm thing. A language specific Slack is useful in the moment (probably moreso than SO) because you get a real time answer and can ask follow ups etc, but I can't help but think there's a ton of knowledge/people asking similar questions that is just disappearing into the ether. Makes picking things up harder for more people long term.
China has people sweeping the streets. Considering how dirty some cities are and how much trash can be found everywhere this isn't a totally unreasonable idea
Yes, you can accept CC payments in 15 minutes via Stripe, PayPal, or Braintree.

(Which is kind of the full circle of this thread)
Exactly. Economics is not natural law but it operates in a framework that's completely human made. This framework is defined by moral values, practicality, whoever is in power and a lot of other factors.

We could easily have an economy where we just accept that nobody can own land or it's OK to take things by force. then economists would build their models around that framework.
Then it looks like it was a mistake in the name registration process, because @Mat is listed in Google's cache going back to mid last year. You shouldn't have been able to register that name.

I think it is worth noting that pseudonymization is not just this big loophole in the GDPR and pseudonomyzed data can still be considered personal data and fall under GDPRs jurisdiction.

One thing worth noting is that one of the clearest paths to earning higher wages and being more successful in a career lies in networking and learning how to leverage that network. In theory, the dominant tool for this should be LinkedIn.

But LinkedIn decided early on that serving professionals was less lucrative than serving companies. So the vast majority of products and capabilities that LinkedIn has shipped over the years has been to serve the needs and interests of companies. Sometimes at the expense of professionals (InMail spam).

There really isn't a tool out there that workers can use that addresses the power and knowledge asymmetries that exist today.

While I agree with the overall argument, there are a couple of points the author made on HTML that I don't think are quite true:

> It is this flirty declarative nature makes HTML so incredibly robust. Just look at this video. It shows me pulling chunks out of the Amazon homepage as I browse it, while the page continues to run.

> Let’s just stop and think about that, because we take it for granted. I’m pulling chunks of code out of a running computer application, AND IT IS STILL WORKING.

> Jut how… INCREDIBLE is that? Can you imagine pulling random chunks of code out of the memory of your iPhone or Windows laptop, and still expecting it to work? Of course not! But with HTML, it’s a given.

HTML isn't "run" in the way traditional compiled languages are. It's modular by design, so of course you can tear out parts and have it still work. And the way you're tearing out things is exactly on these module boundaries; if you really wanted to pull stuff out you'd do it at a random location so you get tags being cut off.
That's not obviously true, and not theoretically well justified. It depends on total workforce size and difficulty of optimizing. Wholly eliminating a $15/hr job is just about as valuable as eliminating 30% of the hours needed at a $100/hr job.
