The chart you reference shows that they are virtually the same...

All of Health vs All of Tech - yes, you are right. Tech is about double.

But Pharma, Biotech, Life Sciences show better returns over Tech as a whole and virtually equivalent Software & Services return.

I would argue that there are definitely players in the Tech space that are raking some very hefty profits, but are in highly competitive markets that could see that erode into losses very quickly... I do not think we are quite in the realm of price gouging and the lower barriers to entry in most of tech keeps things from swinging too far off the charts.

I work in a small webdev shop, mostly maintaining existing projects, and work can be quite "menial" (as far as front-end can be) sometimes.

What I do find incredibly rewarding is game development. I participate in game jams [1][2] - and the sheer enthusiasm of players with regards to your game is worth every hour of a stressful crunching weekend.

I also maintain a restoration project for a deceased game [3][4], and while the community is small, sometimes we get new people who stumble upon their erstwhile favorite, and there are similar reactions.

So yeah, I think game development can be quite rewarding when you are in touch with your community.

It used to be that if you could use a map, you could often do significantly better than average, but these days, you are likely to be caught in Waze-directed traffic whatever you do. Nowadays, a route that is longer but less frustrating is usually the best you can hope for, and that not so often.

No, I meant that the estimate of 1.4C is the lower end of temperatures given drastic changes to emissions are made - and since your link is from ten years ago, I can already tell you those drastic changes were not made.
Obligatory link to The Chaos

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~clamen/misc/humour/TheChaos.html
Unfortunately, can’t seem to edit any more.

That said, I’d still like to see a source that specifically addresses the entire content of what’s sold in a US grocery store. The link simply refers to homogenization via the mechanical process. I don’t see anything in the article stating unequivocally that no chemical is used in the final product.

For example, this producer states it outright: https://www.strausfamilycreamery.com/faq/ (look under allergens section)
I live in New York running my own wholesale business that doesnt consume a lot of time, makes decent money and has very little headache but I can say the most mentally (and financially) rewarding part was driving through places like western washington state, oregon, alabama and southern georgia to visit local shopping malls to see if any of the store owners would like to start purchasing from me. Just buying a ticket, reserving a rental car, mapping out a route on google maps and just driving from one mall to another along sometimes empty country roads and checking into a motel in the middle of nowhere just to get enough rest and wake up in the morning, grab coffee (big win if they have dunkin donuts or starbucks in town) and start driving towards my next target. Nothing special about it but easily best thing I did during my 4-5 years of running the business.
i think the site as it is now, is fantastic. actually it’s a refreshingly honest presentation. i think you might actually be undercharging. value is perceived, not absolute.

good luck.
Congestion pricing isn't designed to shift travel times -- it's designed to shift the mode of transport away from single-occupancy vehicles. And for that to work, you need to pair it with easily accessible alternatives -- bus stops, bike lanes, subways/rail travel, etc.

If it costs me a $20 congestion charge to commute to work, but a $10 train ticket or $4 bus ride, those cheaper alternatives become viable options even if they increase total travel time.
>>What I wonder is, if genetics predicts IQ, and IQ predicts your occupation

I don't think it says that, it says that IQ determines the level you could likely get to in an intellectually rigorous occupation. i.e. Top, world-renowned surgeons have a higher IQ than mediocre surgeons, top lawyers tend to have a higher IQ than mediocre lawyers etc.
Ask HN: Should you be paying your founders?
So we have been met with serious interest in our company, and we are established, older founders (all north of 35, with decades of experience)

Our potential investors do not like that the 3 founders are seeking salaries commensurate with what we do (already reduced as much as possible)

What would you do in this situation? What is normal? zero pay just wont maintain, partial pay is the trade-off, but how does one communicate " well, people can't work for nothing" without sounding bad/greedy.
No problem at all. Have a good day.

Exactly!

I would argue though that such improvements do not have an impact on the bottom line. Sure, any one of them may improve the efficiency of one or a few employees by say 3%. However, many such small improvements have massive compound effects.
The section you have listed is about "you have set a geolocation already, control access to who can see it".

Working with nonprofits can be very rewarding. I do ~15 hrs/week volunteer nonprofit data analysis and dev work. However, working with nonprofits can also be extraordinarily frustrating, so make sure you have the tolerance and communication skills required to work with people who do not necessarily have a lot of technical knowledge or skills before committing. This is a generalization, of course, but it's worth keeping in mind. Sometimes it is like trying to provide over-the-phone technical support to 50 clones of my parents at the same time.
I didn't really start to feel a sense of job satisfaction or team spirit until I began working in the healthcare, biosciences, and educational sectors. Sure, I'm just the IT guy. I'm not actually arms-deep in some kid's guts, trying to save their life, but the work I do acts as a catalyst, a force multiplier for the doctors and nurses and scientists and technicians who do directly care for people. I personally find great meaning in being part of their work.
I built a freestanding bookcase out of scaffolding boards and scaffold tubes this week, first time doing anything with woodwork since high school and it's been immensely rewarding.

It's particularly hard to work in the real world where there is no undo button or source control. Ordering replacement parts takes a couple of days so all my screw ups have consequences beyond wasting my time.

The end result is a bit wobbly due to some design defects/inaccuracies in drilling, so now I need to figure out how to adapt it. Overall it's saved me about £500 over getting a real carpenter to build me something, and I'd say I've spent about a day on it total, so I'm probably breaking even overall.
Your reasoning is faulty for two reasons. First, the transformation may not preserve the space complexity of the input (program size). So if a transformed program is exponentially bigger than the original, it is not equivalent from the prover's perspective. Second, even if the program size is preserved, the prover needs to write the proof. Finding a proof is a non-trivial problem, and there is no general mechanized way to do it. Therefore, we rely on human practice and intuition. It is therefore possible that human reasoning would work better in one formalism than another (although the avantage, if there is one, may change in favor of one formalism or the other depending on the specific problem, too). Now, I'm not saying either of these actually occurs, and it is possible the the two are more-or-less equivalent, but if so, it is not an immediate consequence of there being a transformation from one to the other.
It depends. Maybe people have live news streams fed into a neural network controlling a high frequency trading engine.
8 Skills Every Marketing Project Manager Must Master
As City AM is a free paper I don't see paper copies much in the office - people tend to read it on the tube and then dispose of it when they arrive in the morning (and probably take the Standard on the way home). It's also not as easy to tell when someone is reading it on a screen because it's background is the normal white rather than pink.

Totally agree with you about the FT's apocalyptic outlook on Brexit - though I think that's moderated somewhat over the last 6 months as it's become clear that the sky isn't going to fall on us :)
Everything in the comment chain from the node core devs seemed very reasonable. Add async crypto support as an option, investigate further whether async crypto should be the default by looking at performance numbers from real-world apps that are using it.

Not exactly sure what the issue is beyond that progress is going pretty slow, but no one has actually submitted a PR for it yet so you'd be arguing for priorities instead of whether they want to support it at all.
Honestly, I tend to be pretty satisfied by just about any job where I'm trusted to do what needs to be done.

The work where I've been frustrated has tended to be in places where there are hard responsibility walls between what needs to be fixed and who's allowed to fix it - which is an especially big deal if you've been a student of project management for about 14 years but your "role" is a developer.
NYC is also a better example of bus lanes -- the Lincoln Tunnel has the XBL traveling eastbound in the morning, and it cuts my commute time by about 20 minutes vs. driving in.

I would guess most people aren't working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are plenty of online resources for finding jobs. My father worked in a steel mill for 20+ years, managed to go back to school as a much older adult, and get a job in an entirely new field(medical tech).
"Tech" is a colloquial term that I wouldn't think needs much explanation on HN.

As far as I've ever heard, "Brick and Mortar" has never referred to an industry. It's just an adjective for business that has a store front on a street. And we actually do group them in this regard, it simply isn't relevant all of the time.

Hi HN,

Yesterday trading on several tokens got halted due to discovered & exploited vulnerabilities in two smart contracts.
One of them lost about 90% of its value… and another one lost 26% - $40,000,000 in market cap. in

We wanted to focus more on the technical analysis of the situation to shed some light on common vulnerabilities that still abound.

Would love your feedback, since we got some mixed reviews on whether we did a correct technical judgment of one of the contracts.
Schedule is predictable well in advance. Interruptions aren't.
you get the same problem with gp2 EBS storage when you have less than the maximum baseline performance. if you have sustained peak IO then the disk will eventually have a big performance drop. i guess people are less likely to hit this wall than the T2 CPU wall. it is worth checking how long you can run at peak load for your application before you get throttled and how your application behaves when it gets throttled.
> Covered in Canada? Maybe never.

Sure, but that's true in the US here, too.

No insurance? No med. ERs aren't gonna give you it.

Can't make your $6k bronze plan deductible? No med. Maybe you'll qualify for a patient assistance program from the drug company, maybe not.

> If American's think they can move to a single payer system and keep all the bells and whistles they have now, they will be deeply disappointed.

It's entirely possible to have a supplemental private health insurance system for the experimental or unapproved stuff. You can get private coverage for stuff like IVF in Australia, for example.

A lot of America's bells and whistles are already inaccessible to a large portion of the population.

> And your 2nd link actually proves my point. The drug in the article is not covered in many Canadian provinces at all. The guy in the article is being denied the drug because it's not approved for his mutation. Most people with the correct mutation do get coverage for that drug (again, a new, state of the art drug).

As the article mentions, the insurer approved their sibling with the same mutation for the same medication. Private insurance can be just as capricious as a single-payer's approval system.
When do notifications make sense?
strict liability is a legal term of art that means something along the lines of "you are guilty no matter what the reason."
It's used in North America can be found often in things like traffic tickets or regulatory offences. For example, if you were speeding, it doesn't matter what the reason is, for example it doesn't matter if your odometer was broken or if the posted street signs were impossible to see due to fog or whatever, all the prosecution has to prove is that you were going at a certain speed and you are automatically guilty no matter what.

The individual you are replying to was saying that comments here made it sound like strict liability for drivers and cyclists. That even if you were driving as carefully as possible, if a cyclist suddenly appears from behind a bush and cuts exactly in front of your car while you were doing 80 km an hour and you did everything humanly possible to stop and avoid him, you would still be at fault. He's saying later comments seem to suggest otherwise.
I built a coordination site for NGO/volunteer orgs in Puerto Rico who are responding Hurricane Maria. The goal was to replace paper records and tracking with something a bit more modern. The project was fun, had a direct impact on the ground and really helped me develop some new skill sets. Plus it ended up getting me a promotion in the end which doesn't hurt...

Besides that when I can write an R or Python script that automates a process for someone the look on their face is always amazing. What can take them half a day can then be accomplished in a minute or two...
> Then that virtual item can in turn often be sold to others for real money.

This, for the majority of IAP, is super untrue, unless you mean selling on a secondary market. If this is what you mean, then Wizards of the Coast better start worrying because anyone buying rares from the local gaming shop is now engaging in gambling and, by your logic, responsible by WotC.

In fact, the big problem here is precedence. How long do you think it will take before a litigious company starts targeting "physical" lootboxes like MtG or Pokemon or any physical variable reward package. The mechanics are the same, the reward rarity weight can be exactly the same, just the medium has changed.

This law is dangerous, because you could have gotten the same result (protect children/persons susceptible to skinner box mechanics) with a little more nuance.

Also, the big losers here are decent apps that don't have predatory IAP that are caught in the crossfire.

It's kind of shocking the lack of foresight being seen in this thread.
When playing physical card games like Magic the Gathering or Pokemon, you are constrained in who can play against due to the physical nature of the cards. The "best" decks you play against are your friends and other players around you, unless you are at the point where you are specifically entering tournaments.

I know when I played for a bit back during my school days it was just me and a couple friends who did it fairly casually, so there was very little pressure to spend lots of money to build a great deck. And if someone did try to spend tons of money we probably would have harassed them about it anyways.

The problem is nowadays, due to the online nature of these games, is that you aren't just playing with friends and other people near you, you are playing with anyone who happens to be online. That means you are much more likely to play against people with good decks who spent lots of money building that deck. So the pressure is much greater to also spend money.
That might have been the case at some points in the history of MtG but I don't think recent sets have had positive expected value. For the most part you pay less just getting the cards you need.

Or use the opening of packs for actual gaming with the various ways to play with them.

That was a reply to the person who has said that it's wrong to say Czech has 42 letters because Germans count their letters differently, not to you.

I of course agree with there not being a problem with extra letters because Polish does it without any significant problems as well.
[random internet remarks]

Is your goal to work as a programmer or go to school? Neither is right or wrong. It might be both depending on the short versus medium term. It might be neither (i.e. the goal might be getting out of medical practice instead -- again nothing wrong with that). Good luck.
You're welcome to read Friedman's remarks in full to see that, as I understand your comments, it isn't.
> Every digraph you add is another exception you have to explain

In phonetic languages with digraphs there are rules to the exceptions. For example "sz" is related to "s" same way "cz" is related to "c". "I" makes the previous letter softer.

And there are Slavic languages with Latin script and almost no digraphs. Polish is kinda old school in that regard as it preserved sz and cz (funny thing - English name for Czech Republic uses Polish/Old Czech spelling).

English is one of the worst examples of using Latin script there is, and it could be drastically improved if it used regular digraphs instead of ad-hoc spelling. For comparison German from the same language family is much more regular and easier to pronounce.

What is up with the duck?
It's inspiring to see how a fairly simple solution can have such an impact. That is why it's so exciting to work as a developer, but on the other hand, lack of real human interactions can also be really devastating after a while.

Anyhow, really inspiring story and great job!
Where I'm riding it is completely legal to bike on the sidewalk, so it's not something that should be unexpected.

> I consider pedestrians to have just the responsibility of paying attention to their surroundings

This is what I'm talking about. Many people cannot even be bothered to do that. If you aren't going to take an interest in your own safety, why should anyone else? The sidewalk is not the place to zone out and lose yourself in your Twitter feed.
I have to say knowing someone who has a salvaged Tesla, that this doesn't sound right at all. He's a very happy owner of an early (2013?) Tesla. Biggest complaint after 4 years is the rear toe-in, but that was fixed at the alignment shop. Maybe there are issues with the newer ones, but he loves his and the few issues he's had were easily fixed. He uses (and pays for) Supercharging.

"If you own a salvaged Tesla, you can’t get a single part (not even a screw or a little plastic bolt cover), you can’t use the supercharger".

With ebay and other on-line tools there is a thriving 'Junkyard' scene for Teslas... parts are available and relatively cheap. Maintenance levels are lower (no ICE/transmission) and most parts have German equivalents. Yes, there are 'makers', 'hackers', and backyard mechanics... some of them are dangerous (crazy car mods). Biggest concerns are the cooling system for the batteries and the wiring harness since those are safety critical and unique to Tesla.

On the other hand we have have 60k deadly Takata airbags driving around on the road (post recall) and no-body (not NHTSA or the insurance companies) are trying to do something about it. Think about all of the bad fuel pumps and rotting hoses on old gas-powered cars...

Different reasons, but if it's a user comment it's probably because the user has been shadow-banned for violating HN policy somehow. If it's a top-level post, it could be that the domain has been blacklisted for contributing too many low quality / spammy posts in the past.

And, I assume the HN mods have the capability to mark any post or comment as dead if the need arises. I'm not an insider so I can't say that with 100% certainty, but it appears to be the case.
If I ever get into it, I do want to do low volume, with a longer time frame (minimum would be 5 years) - which is why I don't need minute by minute data.

I don't mind paying for data if it's not too expensive.
I've had to do something similar for an eCommerce business (my wife runs an online toystore). 100% agree having a reason to go to places you would otherwise never go to is amazing. The random connections/experiences has changed me into a better person and are incredibly rewarding.

Having written this I think the take away is you don't necessarily need a reason to go places- just go!
