Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World by Stuart Diamond[1].

I didn't actually enjoy reading it - it's written in a pompous, braggy way that struck me as over-the-top even for a business book. However, the negotiation and communication tools it explains have been really helpful both at work and in my personal life.

I really liked "The Effective Engineer" by Edmond Lau. Its not intended for starting your own company. But it has some good insight for doing good in your job and how to grow as a software engineer.

Also, he wrote:

"g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^-2"

m/s^-2 is not the correct unit for acceleration.

This is beautiful. One of the "so obvious it's invisible" truths of the modern age, and I nearly forgot that Eudora and other pioneers of the age were making a somewhat risky choice to only support standard protocols and eschew the proprietary mailers. Most of them are now long dead yet POP3, IMAP, SNMP chug along. At the time, though, it wasn't so clear.
Until we have 100% transparency into situations where executives/operatives/etc are meeting behind closed doors to screw over thousands if not millions of people then they should not be allowed to have any of those privileges on us.
When one lends cryptocurrency I assume the loan comes with an interest? Given the fixed supply of bitcoins or what have you, where will the coins to pay the interest come from? Or does it work differently in cryptocurrency world? Genuinely curious.

There is - it's possible to miss your window. This usually takes the form of a company that has figured out how to start scaling revenue, does not take advantage of the leverage, and then plateaus as a function of not having the capital necessary to expand.

For the better half of these businesses, this ends up being ok. They settle into a slower growth model that produces a great cashflowing business. However there are others who are unable to get to profitability on remaining funds and die as a result of not having enough capital.

Used, composted grounds are definitely good. Used grounds add biological material to the soil as well and lots of people have good success with that from what I understand.

Compare this to Amazon, which has constant turnover, without free food, arcades, ice cream, movies or celebrities with the added benefit of lower-than-average pay.

Most of us sadly don't have the privilege of "leaving" anytime we want because we can't pass every interview.
That has been the opposite of my experience. There's a sweet spot around $90-$110k where life is pretty good; below that, financial constraints are distracting, while above it, the sacrifices you have to make in terms of freedom, responsibility, etc. will rapidly drain away whatever satisfaction you might have been able to buy with the extra money.

You are assuming that for beneficial genes to pass on, it must result in an 2x number of children per generation. That assumption is false, even a 1.1x increase in children can be compounded. Also, imagine if there was a severe bottleneck event in the human population, where sub-populations with homosexuals had a much better chance of survival.

Furthermore, what math is so "clear", that you completely gloss over it?

I believe technology will ever erode privacy, and that the best we can hope for is to make sure the transparency goes both ways. The government should become more transparent to the people as the people become more transparent to the government. Like you though, I'm afraid we'll end up with a vast and reliable surveillance system which police will be able to use, while the police themselves are still "struggling" to get their body cams to work reliably.

What does this mean? Are you saying he is lying about his photo being removed from his Wikipedia entry by Philip Cross, for example?

How the *#%)&$ did we end up in a world in which "I disagree with your characterization of some subjective things" has become synonymous with "I flat out refuse to believe anything you claim about easily verifiable objective facts"?
In addition to the benefits described by the other commenters, DAFs also make it simple and cheap to donate appreciated securities (stock, etc.)

For most smaller nonprofits, accepting donations of securities can require lots of paperwork and incur expensive transaction fees. With a DAF, you can donate the security to the DAF, have the DAF sell it without tax consequences, and then have the DAF donate cash.
I get what you mean I don't like accepting them either, but they don't actually have the right to apply them since it's licensed as BSD and not a derivative... but in which case you are correct to ask them to remove it.
It came down to preference. I find HyperApp's codebase simpler to read/reason about (it's a pretty straightforward single file), and I prefer its API over React/Preact's.
I'm not the op, but fractional reserve lending isn't the only form of lending, and fixed supply isn't the only form of cryptocurrency.
You can do a lot of this yourself. Put your apps in folders, leave your home screen mostly empty, turn off notifications. Don't even install apps like twitter or facebook, you have to use the browser if you want to see those sites. The phone is still pretty tempting though when there is downtime.

Contrary to the self-help nature, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life" has a set of somewhat structured ideas on how spending time/attention a bit more selective and sometimes going deep instead of broad gives you a better return on your efforts.

Say you're in a position where you can work on any aspect of a project, in any language, framework, SDLM, and with whoever you want. Some advice would be to learn new things all day long, but if you do that 100% of the time, you end up with a lot of nothing. Diversity is good, but not at the expense of in-depth knowledge, just like change is good, but change for the sake of change doesn't really do much by itself. Doesn't mean you should stagnate all development of course ;-)

As with all books on ideas and processes: it's just ideas someone else wrote, take what works, leave what doesn't work.
That this choice happens to reduce the technical and regulatory complexity of your product is I'm sure just a happy co-incidence :)

I liked how Guy Verhofstadt called him out on that, that he has apologised 15 or 16 times in the past years. I’m annoyed that I cannot vote for the guy for EP elections because he lives in another country, one of the many weird things about EU politics, but this man deserves a medal.

I think you make a good point. I think many people came to the same conclusion after he testified before the Senate in the US. I think it's it quite damaging to dissemble the way he does by moving his mouth without ever answering the question that was asked. And to do this for hour after hour an even in response to simple "yes" or "no" questions is nothing short of a farce.

I have to wonder what his employees back in Menlo Park think when they watch their CEO shoveling such obvious bullshit.

Some years are better than others, coffee is a crop like any other that varies in quality. Some roasters stockpile beans from good crop years and are skilled at making a consistent product. When you buy your own greens and roast at home, flavors can vary quite a bit. Personally, I love the variability, and the adventure of trying new flavors and learning to roast different beans.

It would help tremendously if the “seatbelt sign” weren’t on for 90% of the flight, causing everyone to swarm during the 3 whole minutes they have to go. And if I say “screw it, I need to pee” a flight attendant will probably say “you need to go back to your seat” no matter how smooth the flight seems to be.
You can set repos to be archived, i.e. read-only, on Github these days.

seems the article ends up with what was first done decades ago in PHP - separation of presentation and business logic. Btw i don't understand all this animosity toward PHP, especially given that pretty much all the modern web development is basically PHP-like, in spirit if not in actual implementation.
Hi. I'm the author of Mithril (one of the virtual dom frameworks mentioned elsewhere in this thread), so I think can answer that.

To be honest, there's nothing inherently "wrong" with it. There are various techniques to implement templating engines and they all have pros and cons.

Lately, VDOM performance in micro benchmarks has sort of plateaued, and recently non-vdom systems like Svelte (an AOT compilation system) and Surplus (a KVO system) have been making some splash as potential candidates to surpass vdom performance. One could argue that it would be "wrong" or "a waste of time" to try to one-up template performance by attempting to make a new vdom implementation because existing ones are pretty much as optimized as they can be. Since there hasn't been nearly as much effort put into alternative algorithms, it probably would be more fruitful to explore a non-vdom approach instead.

Do note though that I'm talking about R&D sort of stuff above. For people building actual apps, vdom performance is generally good enough for a vast majority of real-world use cases (evidenced by React's popularity) and one of its appeals is that it lends itself to being manually optimizable it if you do end up with a ridiculously ginormous DOM.
Only thing you can do is have a bigger network than your attacker and/or insure there is equipment in front of your routers that can clean traffic entering or exiting your network.

As time goes on the attacks will get more sophisticated and harder to stop.
Sexual assault and harassment can also happen in a marriage, as it is a question of whether some person acts according to the consent or refusal of other(s). Still, divorce and a second marriage is neither sexual assault nor sexual harassment; and age difference among partners alone---as long as all the parties' ages are within legal consensual limits---is not a proof of sexual agression or illegality of the relation, so, nothing to do with #metoo here, regardless of it being priavate or public.

Edit: Not contesting you, btw; just correcting a misinformation.
Thats a shame. Seeing Iridium flares was one of the highlights of my amateur astronomy experience. The best one I remember was seeing one just randomly when I was leaving a friend's house after a saturday night party. Just decided to look up at the sky and there it was.
You're not wrong, it's a mixture of epigenetic changes, and local environment changes. As a cell differentiates, it definitely changes its epigenome. These changes are also mediated by cell-cell interactions, and other morphogenic proteins, for example, the SHH gene:

> ...this aura that defines it as something more valuable than merely coding..."

In purely financial terms, Nadella probably did more for Microsoft's stock price than any one person "in the trenches" could have. Business decisions have enormous consequences.

Microsoft can't survive without it's coders, but none can make or break the company. Making billions of dollars for a company is a real accomplishment, and being able to lose billions of dollars is a huge amount of responsibility. Much as I love to code, maybe respect should* correlate with those things, and maybe it's worth aiming for those things personally if we think it'll move the needle further than what we're doing now.

(Of course, if there aren't a large number of decisions of consequence to be made then the leader-quality/impact correlation will be loose, and it probably has to be measured against companies in similar sectors too.)
> The Embedded Design principle, which I briefly introduced in a previous post, states that you should always code in a way that makes the design apparent. It’s like pixie dust in its ability to make code more readable, loosely coupled, and impervious to bugs.

I'm all for good software design, but claiming a design process can eliminate bugs is more fantasy than reality. Bugs typically come from unforeseen requirements or application states.

Yes, planning reduces bugs, but bugs are still inevitable no matter what software design process we use.
I doubt many US politicians or citizens are concerned enough about Facebook to take any meaningful action. A bill like the EU's GDPR would not even get a vote in the US congress.

Indeed, even with a fixed supply token, a borrower would simply have to come across the necessary amount of principal + interest in the loan term.
of course, but the reasons lions sleep far more than the day/night cycle requires are a factor that applies elsewhere, and thus might result in something similar.
Regulatory capture is an ugly thing.

Trademarks are supposed to be about consumer protection; they're pretty much working as intended. I believe a fair system would charge a reasonably small fee for records maintenance and processing, renewable every year and extendable a few years out, forever. This is about having a 'brand'. No, Disney should not be able to own the mark to something as short as Mickey, or even a mouse that happens to be named 'Mickey Mouse', however they can be specific about it being Disney's Mickey / etc. The mark is for consumer protection, making it clear that products are from a given source.

Copyright, the incentive here is to encourage publication by LIMITED monopoly; not to create beachfront property that can last longer than a lifetime. This is where we have trouble. I think a more reasonable place to start from is 10 years for free (automatically when published), then blocks of 10 additional years on some exponentially increasing fee schedule. Failure to register or provide unlocked source material to the registration body at the registration / renewal times results in release to public domain.

Patents, probably similar to copyright above, but with the added limitations:

* only one renewal (so still 20 years max)
* only hold-able by actual persons (not corporations)
* non-transferrable
* not applicable to work better covered by copyright or trademark
* * The intent is to limit patents to novel and non-obvious to independent invention methods
* some type of compulsory maximum licence cost limit
* * likely a 'user' choice of small percent per unit 'sold' or maximum total fee
* * E.G. an equal share for all used patents for 80% of the profit of a sold unit
* * E.G. 10 million dollars/year maximum total license per 'company'

Thank you for voicing your uneasiness with the name. Dharma in Hinduism connotates ""right way of living". I am aghast that what is sacred to us reduced to a marketing tag line.

Couldn't these people look up wikepedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma , to realize this name for a crypo app is not going to go well ? Or are they intentionally tone deaf ?
The English phrase "no-go area" was the term used in the original Swedish conversation, so I don't know what your point is about bringing in a different Swedish term.

For example, https://youtu.be/ta5a02MzWjE?t=83 says "so called 'no-go zones'", and the following discussion continues to use the English phrase "no-go zones".

I agree that there is are problem areas. I pointed to a Snopes page which agreed there is are problem areas. But there aren't areas where the police don't go, which is what "no-go zone" was originally supposed to mean.

Once problem is when you jump in and ignore what I said and the evidence in the references I gave, and make statements which the links I already gave refute - and refute directly! It's as if you didn't even look at the links, much less make even a basic attempt at demonstrating the errors in the references I gave.

Instead, you use a term with no nuance - a strategy which I only see associated used in the xenophobic press. This makes it very easy to associate your terms with a xenophobic viewpoint.

You could easily have used "problem areas" or "challenged areas", and avoided that loaded term. Since you know the topic well, you are surely aware that these are the more nuanced terms for what the xenophobic press calls "no-go zones."

Since you did not, it's more plausible to believe you are engaged in a normalization strategy based on a sympathy with xenophobic viewpoints.

Such a strategy works better using dog whistles than outright anti-immigration statements. It can include, for example, highlighting the negative aspects of immigration, Islam, etc. when talking about Sweden. That appears to be what you do, based on my reading of your comment history.

Your statement regarding "I'd expect a more objective approach to prevail" is an example of your style. Rather than make a specific statement that you think I am biased or (I know you don't like them) a 'social justice warrior', you instead make an appeal to the vanity of other HN readers, implying that since they are objective, they should obviously agree with you, and that I and jahaja are making emotional, subject arguments that should be ignored.

This is amazing. Very similar to ideas I was exploring when building Helix (https://github.com/josephluck/helix) however I went down the fully typesafe route, which is nice but the API isn't as clean as hyperapp. If it wasn't for reacts ecosystem, I'd consider using hyperapp for more projects.
