>To add, if everyone earns "$500,000" per year

The global GDP per capita is more like $10k/yr. That's a much more realistic number.

>Society needs to create a payout/reward system,

Society already has a payout/reward system. Unless by "society" you mean the government. And by government I assume you mean Donald Trump.
Exactly my thought. Who doesn't have a phone? But wait - maybe there's a significant demographic there, after all its McD's.
I don’t think so. Was there a projected date for completion of the migration? We’ve only got pervasive 64-bit in the last 6 years so doubtful it would have been before then.
I can see points against exceptions, but generally RAII has nothing to with exceptions, so what is the point against this?

It makes managing any resource with acquire/release semantics very easy. It also prevents errors when the code is modified later because you cannot forget to call cleanup code as it is done automatically. I have no experience with kernel programming, but acquire/release seems to be something that is done in the kernel.
If you'd like to join me in speculating a bit, let's take an imaginary look at ten years from now.

Good news! AI has advanced enough that it is now possible for you to have a customized bot that handles all of the crappy and mundane parts of life: scheduling travel, getting groceries, making sure the house is clean, and so on. The bot learns about you and is able to anticipate your needs.

And because we have this tech, we also have bots that will play your emotions like a finely-tuned fiddle. Think Elvis never died? Afraid that lizard-people in the government are controlling your thoughts? Well, now there's a bot that will find others like you and deliver to you a continuous stream of information confirming your beliefs -- and warning you of the dangers lurking out there.

Now guess which of these bots makes more money for its creators, the one scheduling airline flights or the one keeping you emotionally-connected with 400 people just like you and making sure that all of you are living a dramatic life on the edge where you're fighting the bad guys?
> F-15 vs F-16

I was under the impression that the main difference between these was not price, but the kind of mission they are designed for. Like you don’t get one or the other because of budget, but because of your aerial combat needs.
He's just under a ton of stress.

Talk to anyone who actually knows Zuck. He's a compassionate liberal that gets a bit intense at times, but he's both incredibly intelligent and fully aware of whats riding on his decisions.

Bill Gates has a different personality, but he also grew wealthy in a different time. The world was unipolar under American leadership, and Microsoft was a key element to American power. Gates could focus his energy on fighting malaria and studying flu epidemics. The world Zuck lives in is far different. Machine learning is taking off, China is ascendant, and America / the liberal order is asymmetrically exposed.
For the difference in coding time, it's hard to estimate. I'd say once you get the hang of it, which for me was quite fast, it's much more pleasant and generally faster than working with native Android. Hard UI related things on Android (rounded corners or customizing the design library components) are pleasant to do and make a lot of sense in Flutter.

Flutter and Dart come with a nice HTTP library out of the box. In my experience, it does everything you'd expect from a networking library. If you're looking for something like Retrofit on Android, there's a package called "jaguar_http" that does the job.

For taking/picking images, you'd use the officially supported "image_picker" plugin. It exposes a nice API based on Dart's Futures and handles Android's onActivityResult dance for you in the background. If you're looking into embedding a camera preview in a Flutter app, there's a package called "camera" for that.

There's generally a plugin that handles the platform stuff you need to do. If not, you can always create one and use Java/Kotlin/Swift/ObjC code to call the native SDK APIs you need yourself. Having published a couple plugins myself, I've found the plugin system to be really nice.
So there is a plan to add "Application supports iTunes file sharing" (UIFileSharingEnabled)?
I'm not sure I see how that means they're selfish.
One of my pastimes is watching hours of video of such people speaking, in order to get a sense of their thought process. Without having any particular motivation to take a shot at Zuckerberg, I honestly agree with you. He simply does not demonstrate any sign of being in the same class as those 4.

>Concerning yourself with highly complex reactions that could happen between foods

This isn't necessitated at all. There's no mystery as to what overlaps between what the most successful food regimens prescribe today: cut sugar, cut refined foods, eat more vegetables and eat real food.

Counting calories is important when it comes to weight management, but optimal health does not stop and start just at BMI. You might be thinner on a calorie-restricted junk-food diet, but you won't be healthier. Your insulin would spike all the time, you'd be nutrient-deficient, etc.
Because it isn't possible for them to make sure all jurisdictional compliance is there. Do they have an FFL? Does the person they're selling to across state lines also allowed to accept?

They're just covering their asses; it's not possible for them to watch every exchange so they have to ban all of it unfortunately.
The report agrees with you:

The health behaviour of young children is largely influenced by parents. While promoting healthy eating and activity at school is probably helpful, it’s not enough.

A conclusion of "probably helpful" is not strong enough to spend public education dollars on, at the expense of other academic instruction (there are a fixed number of minutes in a school day, and if you're not teaching healthy eating you can be teaching something else).

Not to mention that what was taught for the past few decades (lots of grains and cereals and no fat) was flat-out wrong and probably contributed a lot to the obesity problems we have today.
I'm aware of that yes, really unfortunate . Thanks for the feedback.
I beg to disagree. We must first hit the largest violators as a lot of smaller companies will stop their practices when we do.
I think people are really trying hard to get this to fit their narrative. Admittedly, I did not watch the whole thing, but out of the multiple hours I had the energy to watch I can't see how you would blame Zuckerberg. Not saying that he's a perfect guy, but he is not "ignorant" or "deliberately misleading". Many of the questions he was asked were meant to deliberately mislead and create unnecessary hatred for MZ, even if it was something very innocent. 90% of the questions were ignorant of literally all of the technology being discussed, making either outlandish claims (e.g. blaming Facebook for not being able to control how you use downloaded data from the API) or getting caught up on irrelevant details (conflating selling of user data with selling of user data-based ad space). MZ was not adversarial at all and openly embraced the suggestions for new legislation (while acknowledging the shortcomings). When he said his team would get back to them later, the reason was pretty clear. He didn't want any bad sound bites to bear his name. By using his tech team, he was able to avoid answering questions that sound bad to a Facebook user. To be completely fair, it seemed that the whole goal of the hearing was to create outrage rather than get at any truth. He also had plausible deniability here because he doesn't know all the specific technicalities of the millions (billions?) of lines of code Facebook uses, so he can basically argue that he wasn't sure what they were asking was technically true or false. Is this borderline lying? Sort of, but that doesn't mean he did the wrong thing here for either Congress or his own company. He's not trying to protect from Congress, he's trying to protect from public outrage.

This made me think of segmentation faults caused by stack overflow due to allocating an array with too many elements on the stack, which is also "fun" to debug until you learn about that class of problems.

That applies to both C and C++ though.

Sure, intelligence can exist and people can function and be very successful psychopaths - disconnected from emotion, empathy and the like - disconnected from holistic understanding and having your logic to include how feelings should influence decisions. It's really a difference of understanding right and wrong vs. if you react to the feelings of right or wrong. If you're able to suppress/repress feelings, right and wrong and other, through use of control (usually formed as a coping mechanism of ego mind) then you'll be able to do what others would find more unethical than not; I suppose people will may do a risk/reward analysis. It's heavily why many people find Mark's facial expressions to be quite muted, robotic - giving birth to the Data from Star Trek meme. I don't think he's a lost cause, however he's certainly still controlling and calculating, I think he likely has deep healing that needs to happen, however his ego mind having full control got him this far and so he'll have a lot to process, self-forgiveness and such. This controlling thought and behaviour certainly floods into Facebook's ecosystem of a closed-system; I wrote blog post many years ago relating to controlled vs. managed ecosystems.
Definitely didn't want to give impression that it's somehow worse. A well moderated board is lightyears ahead of a subreddit or, god forbid, FB group. Even half assed categorisation and search awesome. Today's forums could have proper full text search and pimped up moderation tools, possibly with some AI helpers on top.. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

Ten reasons I don't have an opinion (2012)
I’m all-in with google services and acknowledge they have an insane amount of data on me, but very happy to be an iPhone user.

At least it gives some basic form of separation between my phone and the services I use - under the assumption that google services will have to request access to things.

Under google+android, I have no confidence that there won’t be accidental or intentional data harvesting. My wife’s Pixel 2 came with everything enabled by default and that data it Hoover’s up automatically is crazy.
I feel this view is massively overblown in media. Do I read stories about people blaming others for their problems, showing no personal responsibility? Absolutely, all the time, especially in mass media.

Day to day, people I know, people I overhear. people I talk to , show lots of personal responsibility. Sure they might skip the gym, or eat some cake. But they take responsibility for that, and themselves at large.

Frankly its easier to sell newspapers or get views by talking about someone we can look at and say "Wow, I know I skipped the gym today, but I'm not that bad", than to hear an altogether more boring story of the 99% that are basically the same as ourselves.
At best, I'm now aware that there's some situation where I should avoid it, but I have no idea why, what the situation is, or what options I have.
Also a lot of that’s locked in by structure. If you buy a house in an American-style suburb, your kids are going to be spending a lot of time sitting in car seats and commute times tend to cut into the time needed to cook healthier foods at home.

A kid can’t decide to move and in many cases it’s really hard to use alternatives: either neglect or deliberate attempts to discourage pedestrians mean that there’s very little in walking distance and often not even sidewalks or road crossings which don’t require substantial detours. It may or may not be safe / conducive to cycling but the safety culture is such that a lot of habits are set by the time they’re old enough to do that independently in their late teens.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
I can't get those things at CVS either but I don't find it problematic. A business doesn't owe me any category of service that I want.
> And drug makers are aware of this fact thus they incentivize doctors to specify the brand name drug.

That's a bold and unfounded claim. Drug makers do not incentivize doctors to write DAW on a prescription.
Also, from my (very much outsider) observation of the legal profession there seems to be a lot of boring work that probably could be automated. So maybe not lawyers themselves, but legal helper workers, will increasingly be replaced.

For what its worth I can talk more about how I do it. I tried to start a SaaS company, realized my CAC was out of control and started taking on consulting clients as a way to fund the SaaS and pay my bills.

We've been doing the consulting portion for 3 months now and are on pace to hit 10k (mostly mrr) this month.

I don't believe there is any super special process. I figured this out through months of failing and piecing things together.

You should make content to establish yourself as an expert. I did for recruiting. Over the course of 6 months I went from some random person who knew nothing to an authority in the space.

By doing that, I get invited to speak and train teams across the US.
Our business is pretty simple. We make content, which helps our lead gen efforts be more effective because people know who we are. Through that, we shoot for 20 meetings booked a month.

We try to close 5% of the opportunities we generate since we aren't really sales people.

And then once clients are closed we work like hell to fulfill what we told them we were going to do!

There really isn't a magic sauce. Its just about the volume needed for sales (I struggled with this for awhile as an engineer).
Donald Knuth is an amazing person, but I'm not sure he's necessarily the same authority in a discussion about industrial programming languages as he is in a discussion about computer science.

So to change your analogy, it would be like quoting Sun Tzu about the disadvantages of modern main battle tanks, using the Art of War. Sure, the principles in the Art of War are solid, but are we sure that they really apply to a discussion about Leopard 2 vs M1 Abrams?

That said, I'm not a fan of C++ either. I think its problems are intractable because they'd have to break backwards compatibility to clean the language and I'm not sure they can do that, unless they want to "Perl 6"-it (aka kill the language).

But otherwise you'd have to download the McDonalds app and store your details in there. With the kiosks, you don't have to leave your personal details and don't have to sign up before you first use it. I guess this makes a big difference. I prefer the kiosks over ordering at counter staff but probably wouldn't want yet another app on my phone (I'm only at McDonald's every other month or so).
> Reddit scrubs the identity out of many communities/topics.

In my experience Reddit moderators do this, not Reddit.

For some reason heavy handed moderation is now the norm across every medium-large sized subreddit. I don't know if it's a cultural thing, there's some top-down pressure, or the nature of the kinds of people who become (and stay) mods.

But I'm finding it more and more the case where mods feel the need to heavily regulate conversations/posting preemptively based on arbitrary personal worldview on what is 'good' content for the subreddit, instead of coming in to help when there's actual problems and situations where downvoting simply isn't enough.

Facebook and Twitter went down this road hard too, but at least they weren't doing it via "community leadership" but instead via the predictable slippery slope of centralized content controls.

Who knows maybe I'm spoiled by HN or naively expect large scaled up organizations/systems to stay as functional as they were when they were smaller. But I don't think it's always a lost cause, many big organizations have maintained high quality - given proper management and push-back against the negative forces which cripple large companies (such as becoming extremely risk adverse).
Apples to oranges. I never said or tried to imply that - it is your words.

I clearly implied that the issue here is, that grandparents took the embryo, hired a woman to give birth to it with no will or blessing from their kids. The embryo was not theirs to decide and people that could make this decision were dead.

I agree with everything you said - except "Mark has never had an original idea" is a bit of an unfair statement, however it's perhaps true he's blocked from creativity.

Apparently the fat people. Otherwise they would change their eating habits.

Actually, the UTF-8 decoding is broken even with proper input. This https://github.com/btwael/SuperString/blob/master/src/SuperS... will make `pointer` and `i` be out of sync, so everything after the first multibyte sequence is a coin toss.

To the OP: you should use theses tests to validate your implementation https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt (caveat: 5- and 6-byte sequences are no longer valid UTF-8 and should be rejected).

Dips aren't quite an optical illusion; nor are blind spots, or obscured vehicles (behind frame of the car or behind another vehicle), but those are all quite common and are similar to illusions (you see imperfectly).

It's stereotypical generalising of entire segments of the population into a straw-man caricature he can rage and rant against.

Honestly, I believe anyone who still thinks in traditional terms of left/right politically, isn't adding anything worthwhile to the discussion.
I wasn't commenting on the hearing, though. I was commenting on the way the parent post attempted to portray the article linked in this thread.

That said, I watched the both hearings in full and I can't recall a single complex, non-softball question being answered. Unless, of course, you consider "Senator, this is a very important question" followed by some time wasting non-answer material an "answer".
Interesting, so since it is/was used primarily in South Africa and Afrikaans has its roots in Dutch I'd guess that's actually the root of the derogatory use as well. As in "people traded with coin".
The federal school lunch program is predicated on income. That's basically all it is, a system for providing funds to schools with low income students.

Ask HN: I listen to music/podcasts all day at work, am I at the wrong job?
There are obviously days where I can muster through the work day without any headphones. I do enjoy programming, but some times it is a drag. The only way I seem to maintain my sanity is by listening to music or a podcast. Something to distract me. I am not 100% productive by any means, but it gets my through the day. Is this a warning sign that I am perhaps not doing what I am suppose to be doing?
My personal gut feel is that in the fairly long history (for a tech co), we’ve seen surprisingly little malicious use of data come from google. In a company of their size I’d expect a lot more screw ups and scandles, so perhaps they deserve a little more trust?

At the same time, they’re at the size and momentum that they should always be under scrutiny even if the answer keeps coming back “yeah they seem to be acting responsibly”. We don’t want to have an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.
