Living in a popular rural area with a lot of seasonal tourists ... I see the future of self driving cars as mobile homes and hotels. Sort of like a mobile air-b-and-b. A lot of my friends chase wind, waves and events around the area. So they pack up a caravan or home made camper van and drive to the location and party and surf. There is a crowd of 20 or so who share van space and give lifts. I can only see this getting more popular. They already rent vans out. When these become custom self driving surf wagons complete with shower kitchen etc people will live on the move. Travelling at night while the passengers sleep.
your argument essentially reduces to "$1.01mm net + $80k salary is much more well off than $1.01mm net + low salary". unless A happens to be a financial wizard, this is always going to be true no matter how A's assets are allocated. i'm not sure what your point is with respect to counting primary residences in net worth. if A were truly worse off for having the house (and they very well may be with that lopsided allocation), they could just sell it. a typical yearly return on $1.01mm is very close to the median household income in the US.
Good managers can measure effectiveness. The problem is it's hard to quantify to higher ups, and even when you do quantify the data, it never beats the sales guy drinking with the boss and knowing the boss's taste in wo/men.
I think it's both. The GP doesn't seem to take you seriously if you appear to be a young healthy dude.

I once hurt my ankle really bad while doing surfing and the doctor made fun of me "being girly" and to go home and put some ice on it.

I just wanted to make sure there was nothing broken.

Only recently while thinking about it I realised how bad his attitude was and it certainly made me think at that time that it is in my head and I shouldn't go to the doctor.
As a matter of great personal pride, I do suck at Javascript :)
A variation of this scam is also endemic in the German mandatory insurance system (e.g. http://www.ln-online.de/Lokales/Luebeck/Krankenkassen-betrog...).

In contrast to privately insured people (basically, public servants, company founders, rich and ultra rich) who get to see the bills of the medical provider, they can bill the "common" insurance providers (GKV, Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) directly without the customer seeing anything of the bill. This is, of course, ripe for abuse as no one will look if a doctor really did a specific billed procedure on a patient, especially not something in the 20-50€ range...
Is that really true, though? It's certainly the case that a cache miss takes longer than a cache hit, but the time for a cache miss doesn't depend on how much memory you have. Or does it? Like, a cache miss isn't going to be slower if you have 64 gigabytes of memory compared to having 1 gigabyte of memory, it's just a cache miss. That makes random memory access O(1) in the sense of complexity analysis.

Will you be willing to share which country you live? In some countries, there are policies to hire older worker or people of diversity but it will depend on the country you live.
Never forget that you're on the Internet, using probably a device that 20 years ago would have been sci-fi, complaining that the future may not come fast enough.
Glad you are glad :)

Is there a CAA equivalent for ARIN assignments?
That is how services work. You pay money, you receive a service. If all tax payers in other countries stopped paying money, people would "die"
Boggles my mind that companies do this. I'm just out of college and am amazed by the depth of knowledge older programmers have. A lot of them can find bugs on an almost instinctive level .

I think it might come down to founders being insecure around older engineers who probably won't be afraid to call them out on dumb decisions and won't be as likely to drink the hpye kool-aid because they've seen it all before.

Seems like an opportunity for startups to get great talent.
That's it? A short list of stuff that has worked for B2B SaaS companies? Would love to hear more, like when it works / for which kinds of companies.
Iff your writing style is well aligned with the SA model. Sentiment analysis has always been a bit dodgy for individuals, but it mostly works due to sheer numbers.

Sarcasm, for example, works very poorly with SA, and if you tend to write sarcastic prose, SA will be a waste of time at best, and counter productive at worst.
This article is extremely vague.
He might not change his tune too much. Unlike other people that turn 45-50, he'll be going into his mid 40s a billionaire and won't ever need to experience ageism against himself directly.
What do you mean by "anymore?" The last decade has seen faster progress than almost anyone expected a decade ago.
I agree with the last paragraph in practice but I think what will have plateued is investor interest, and not necessarily the technological progress. Right now there is a huge investment and if it doesn’t deliver in expected timeframes it could cause another mini AI winter as enthusiasm crashes hard. I bet the biggest threat is patience, because of the sale that self driving is around the corner for so long.

In practice though if that happens there will be less people getting payed fat salaries to work on it, and then progress will probably slow, so the effect will be the same.
Think of how many people this business has bullied into silence before someone with enough resources to make the news came along. For most people (unfortunately,) $20k of expenses is bankruptcy.
Patients are by far the worst kind of customer to deal with. So maybe if the costs were disclosed upfront ("I can perform an ultrasound if you have pelvic pain, but it will cost you/your insurance xxx") we wouldn't come to such he-said-she-said extremities. But I guess it's pure fantasy in the USA where I've heard medical costs can be negotiated... How could they announce full price / insurance coverage when you're about to get the exam done if it's not even settled yet ?
I remember a surreal conversation with my manager from a previous company. Despite my great job performance, I could not get a raise, because I was at the top of the range and "the book said" I couldn't make any more. This was shortly before I left.
Yeah but at the same time, if you look at most sci fi movies from 20 years ago, they waay underestimated the actual progress that happened in things like computers.

Yelp remains very helpful to me in many ways. Looking up the restaurants in an area, filtering by various things (are they open? do they take reservations? what's the noise level?), making reservations, etc.

I know Yelp has a shady underbelly, but pretending that it doesn't have anything to offer is just being intellectually dishonest.
Big lurker, just created this to throw in my anecdote. I know of a person that was targeted with identity theft. They are current fighting it in court. It is weird how they have to prove to the system that it wasn't them who registered some vehicle somewhere and were involved in a hit-and-run(while they were even outside of the country through that period of time). That person owns a transportation company and could possibly get their license suspended. They were paid a visit by the sheriff because the debt collectors were not seeing their money (thankfully the sheriff was understanding enough, because it did look like they were going to be arrested until the court date). The name was not even written correctly! But since it is a SIMILAR name and at your address, it is you!
Sorry for the rant, I just don't think the people that are going through this have the time or will to sit and describe their crappy situation. Is everyone who got their identity stolen supposed to run to the press? Run to Equifax's office asking for their reimbursement? If so, I wish they can spell it out more clearly to those who do end up affected. I think we will hear more about these stories eventually, after everyone who got burned clears their names of whatever they were burned for and have the patience to sit and explain how crap hit the fan, because they took out a loan somewhere and didn't understand the consequences.
Even if GDPR isn't perfect right now, it is a step in the right direction. It sounds to me like the whole industry has been mishandling data until this point, that it makes it okay for people to complain that new players wont be able to come in and continue the same ways. Sorry if this is not the proper reply format, I hope it is ok to reply to anecdotes with anecdotes.

I signed up for both Meridian and EQ bank. Both supported various 2FA options. I only used them as a higher interest savings account (One was 1.5% the other was 2%, so yeah, low but not terrible - I've since moved that tax liability to Wealthsimple's high interest account), cannot really vouch for their service outside of saying they gave me the interest and the initial capital back without any drama.
This is almost me exactly, except it was an IBM PCjr.

Yeah, but it begs the question, why would anyone want BAT tokens?
This is the absolute truth. I've been a lead or performing the role of a lead for most of my career. Recently I started taking on management responsibilities, then I got a new VP who decided I needed a manager because I didn't have the experience. I've seen people who can't manage their way out of a paper bag, but seemingly despite the fact that I've been filling the role for the past year, I'm not qualified for it. It's very frustrating.

I used to have many domains at NameCheap and left after their redesign a couple of years ago. Huge spacing, many clicks to get to any information, and good luck trying to update multiple domains. Seems like they wanted to alienate their pro/bulk users in favor of the buy-a-one-page-website crowd.

Route53 (using now) just makes more sense: easy programmatic access, unified billing with other services, included domain privacy, and no games with renewal pricing/discounts.
I don't need one.

Most people at my current company are >40 (and probably >50 - I don't know everyone's exact age but I can infer somewhat). ~90% are married.

I've worked a bunch of places and, quite frankly, none have had an overly young crowd. Experience has always been valued everywhere I've worked.

So in my experience its just not a problem for the companies I want to/do/have worked for. I live nowhere near San Francisco.

I see a lot of comments about how clumsy this solution is and that it doesn’t work for some TLDs.

The solution I’m using is MyPrivacy.ca. It’s not a 1:1 replacement for WHOIS privacy but solves the Spam problem very well, it’s easy to set up and it works for all TLDs.

It is basically an opt-in email forwarder with a customizable whitelist of common registrars and NICs. So you will never miss an important mail from your registrar while most Spam will never make it through the challenge/response process.

It’s completely free and run by the guy behind easydns.ca (Mark Jeftovic).
In the US, generally speaking, you are free to just start using a new name. I did the opposite, dropping my middle name wherever possible and it has only come up once. I even got my current passport issued without my middle name by accident. (I forgot to put my middle name on the application and it was never questioned.)
He’s all over this thread with this garbage
It's also hilariously inaccurate. I'm a freelance media buyer of sorts, and it think I works in either manufacturing or HR at a company of 500. The hilariously awful levels of inaccuracies this contains is the reason why the Facebook/Google advertising empires chug on. They have the data you need to target ads correctly.

Resistance to constructive criticism is a potential no-hire signal.

Given the involved scale, corporate lobbying and stated goals, this was the best that could be done.

It's probably not even possible to create a great law. The industry that can't even agree on something as simple as coding guidelines is suddenly screaming that the law isn't good (enough).
As someone that's hired a lot of people being overqualified is an actual reason not to want to hire an applicant. The reason is because they are not likely to last in the position. Not every company is some high growth engineering phenomenon. Sometimes you need someone to fill a specific role and you'd like them to be stable in that role.
That's actually the beauty of it if you ask me. Most of the companies that are now giants, didn't use 'this one weird trick'. Rather, they used proven methods like listed out. The 'trick' if you will, is to have a great product & hustle your ass off.
Some technologies can't be derailed by human stupidity and selfishness, I'm not so sure driverless cars qualify as one of them.
(1) I think most "gamers" are not children. Many middle-aged people are into gaming, as well as teens, twenty-somethings, thirty-somethings, etc. My mother-in-law will never pick up an XBOX controller or play cell phone games but she goes to the casino and plays the video slots.
(2) My son is 15 now but since he was under 10 he has played games on Steam, GoG and stores like that. He always asks before buying a game or content -- personally I trust him about that.
(3) I am sure there are laws but they are different from country to country.
Dropping global concensus means you're back to small regional currencies. With centralization you get things like Ripple. Both problematic / unstable in the long term.
For all the whinging about GDPR on here, I'm actually really liking its effects as a random netizen. And I'm not even an EU citizen!
I am worried about that too. Right now the biggest challenge for autonomous cars is to recognize obstacles like pedestrians. I wouldn't be too surprised if we would end up with a situation where it's up to the pedestrian to get out of the way of autonomous vehicles because they have always right of way.
Why Is a Spooky, Slowed-Down Mister Softee Jingle Blasting from LinkNYC Kiosks?
Take this from a former tech lawyer: The startups that only want kids and new grads are hiding skeletons. They know they are doing something incorrectly/illegally and don't want anyone in the building who is likely to recognize such mistakes, let alone object to them. They fear industry knowledge and experience.

Typical example: I had a couple clients who sent new staff on unpaid "training" courses, in violation of labour laws. They only hired kids and so by the time I showed up this had been going on for ten years. The founders knew, but all under them didn't know a thing about labour laws, including the extensive HR department. Then one day a former employee sent an email ... and I handed the client to a litigator to prepare the response to the class action by former employees.
But would you agree that without any history of enforcement to look at yet, it may be prudent to base risk analyses on that maximum number?
AWS certainly operates that way, but even with a third level: green check mark with an info note box. I think I've only seen a "red" AWS status once or twice in the past few years.

Before AWS updated their status page to be a little more usable, I used a Chrome extension to remove green status services from the page. Funny enough, that extension also incremented every status (info check box became warning, warning became red), which was far more accurate in my experience.
It’s cheaper to buy many lottery ticket new grads, a few who might turn out brilliant, and just burn out the others convincing them to work harder than people who know better will. Then, sometimes managers get burnt out experienced engineers who nevertheless stay, and maybe some managers form negative stereotypes about experienced engineers. This is what I have seen in practice at a former job and it seems to fit the data to me.

I'm sorry you thought I was being dismissive. I felt I had reached the limit of my own pursuasiveness on the question and wanted to point you to somewhere better than me.

One final point I will try to make is that in thinking about how we know things, there's no suggestion that we need to set aside common sense. It's about starting with common sense and then seeing what we can add to it.

You Can't Get There from Here (Policy Based Routing) (2012)
You move one of the larger, more conservative companies that employ probably 90% of the world's tech workforce. You do the non-sexy ETL work, or line-of-business app development, that 90% of the world's developer workforce does.

Web forums are RIDICULOUSLY overweighted toward students and younger startup employees. Partially because older workers have jobs and families and better stuff to do than play online. Partially because the work they do isn't particularly worth writing about, and the latest fads aren't that relevant to their work.

But please don't have the misguided assumption that what you see on HN or Reddit is truly representative of the industry as a whole. It took me a long time, and a lot of unnecessary anxiety, to wake up and see the bigger picture.
Every registry has some leeway to set its own policies, and especially ccTLD registries, which aren't even contracted parties with ICANN.

Most of those listed TLDs likely have requirements about who can register domains on that TLD, so they need that info for verification purposes. That doesn't mean that they're publishing it in WHOIS though; many are not.
Nobody can claim they are discriminating if they "offer jobs to "senior" devs as well. I have known people with disabilities that get similar treatment where it was very clear they wouldn't be hired but boxes had to be checked to - what appears - avoid liability.
That sounds more than reasonable as "measure twice, cut once" is the right answer for something as critical as a data store.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, thanks for Redis!
> If the service gets enough users? Perhaps it will. If I annoy the wrong person on Twitter, then I'm fairly certain I will be handling those requests for a while.

Anyone to whom you are not providing a service should not have any data released to them, so they can get a simple "I'm sorry, you're not a customer, and I hold no data on you." response.

Anyone who is a customer and is sending vexatious requests - I'd refund them if appropriate and terminate their service. Especially for side-projects, you don't need the aggravation.

In my case people were genuinely asking about actual data, and I took the time for the first to respond "by hand" - it took about ten minutes. The second time I documented what had been done the first, and parametrised it. Total time was about 15 minutes.

The third time I ran the script by hand and checked the output. Total time was under three minutes. I'm pretty sure that after another two or three I can just let it run automatically. Time taken for subsequent queries? Probably none.

And I agree that for some people, especially those for whom English is not their first language, would have trouble responding in English. It's not clear that they have to.

But speaking about time taken, I'm now going to bow out. I've made my position and understanding as clear as I can. GDPR is here, and everyone can make their choice about what they do to be seen to comply. I wish you all good luck.
