Yeah none of that's is true. Failing to know persons in suffsiciently deep level. Any addict, terrible friend etc who has core faculties in place to reflect on themselves knows what's missing. A person unaware of this can disagree. They could also disagree with climate change and gravity but I believe it's for what progress we have today as a whole... Generally accepted that unhealthy behaviors and "happiness" are at odds.

(Please forgive any typos 5am reply here)

Specifically @ the last point it's sad to read. I get and have gotten a sense of uptick that the nobody tries to live well for a root cause outside themselves.. and see politically etc how this is a popular behavior. But it.. in my gut-analytical self feels de-evolution-y of our, well of what we could be doing.
Web browser.

None of the apps I've seen so far allow me to be logged in (and some I wouldn't trust), so what's the point?
You consider a 2-3% (or up to 7% with AMEX) fee on everything you buy (even though it’s paid by the merchant, and so you only pay it indirectly) "free"?

And would you be equally calm if you’d have to pay 2-3% more sales tax?
Ask HN: What statically typed serverside web framework do you recommend?
I'm recently using a lot of typescript and I love the safety and IDE autocomplete and refactoring that it provides. I'm looking for the same thing in a serverside framework. I'm very familiar with symfony, and I'm looking for something with the same amount of "batteries included" for things like templating, form handling, orm, etc. Just with type safety, preferebly all the way down to the template, but that's not a hard requirement.
If you're doing all the browser scraping, wouldn't it have been easier to just automate your browser clicking the delete/unlike button itself? I've done this in the past with Selenium, sometimes needing GreaseMonkey.

Regardless, what you're naively discounting is the effects of poverty on the mind (and the body). Imagine, if you can, a state of permanent stress, fear, worry, etc. The human mind is __not__ wired to make optimal decisions under such circumstances.

Now let's just say it's time to eat...You're running from your 2nd job to your 3rd...how do you think that decision is going to go?

Poverty is not a lack of wealth. That's a side effect. Poverty is the result of mental, emotional and spiritual starvation; in the face of a world of plenty for everyone else but you and yours.

You can't get rid of patents by arguing that they distort markets. That's the entire point of them in the first place. To incentive people to create new things by restricting competition for a limited period of time.
I've heard some pretty bad things about it from googlers
Hey, thanks for the questions. Interviews are mostly 60 minutes, though we are experimenting with longer formats (90 and 120). We leave 30 minutes at the end of each interview to complete and submit your write-up on the candidate's performance (we have a detailed rubric that you grade against for each section of the interview). As you become more experienced, you tend to need much less than 30 minutes to complete this writeup.

If you wanted to work 20 hours, that could be 20 hours of interviewing, but we also have other work you can do as you become more experienced, like helping to review interviews, mentor newer interviewers, develop and test new interview content, build features on the platform, etc. Some people prefer to only or mostly interview though, and that's fine.

There's some seasonality to interview supply just because of the nature of recruiting cycles, but we're growing pretty quickly and we've got people focused on capacity management, so that smooths things out a bit.

A 20 hour work week for some people is just 20 hours of interviewing on their own schedule; for others it's a mix of interviewing, reviewing others' interviews, and mentoring. We have some interviews who do mostly non-interviewing tasks like mentoring, or working with clients, just based on their preferences and skillsets.

Hope that answers your questions, but let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on any of this.
It's not my argument that we should trust NSA. We shouldn't. It's that differential cryptanalysis isn't an example of how NSA would backdoor a cipher design, and that the nature of a NOBUS backdoor is more complex than "a weakness only the NSA knows about". Dual EC doesn't have a "weakness" so much as it has a cryptographically secure access mechanism.

While I believe I understand your position, I think we also need to address the affordability and availability of contraception as well as the existence of sex education in public schools. While it is one thing when someone deliberately wants to have an above average number of children, if one doesn't have the knowledge and resources to conduct adequate family planning you can't exactly fault them and deny them help.
LaTeX with packages like beamer.

Treating documents as source code for purposes of version control, collaborative review, and separating content implementation units from display units is just too important. In fact, I think this approach to document and word processing should be taught in schools from a young age, to eliminate most of the excuses people have for preferring wysiwyg enterprise tools, like some sort of hyperbolic discounting function when deciding that the short term cost of overcoming the LaTeX learning curve is not worth it in each situation (so that it ends up never being worth it under that inconsistent model of net present value of the “quick and easy” wysiwyg system).
Another pointless discussion about programming-languages. Can't believe people still don't understand that it is not about language. It is about the product.

The only thing that powers internet is smart people. specially those that don't spend their time on pointless discussions and instead they can focus on analyzing the problem and finding the right tools and solution for it.

Please don't call yourself software engineer or developer if you have a programming language bias.
This is a factor in Italy too.
I'm not sure what you mean?AdWords uses AngularDart. It's the best-supported way to build a web app in Dart.

There was web UI framework churn in Dart's early years, but last I heard, Google has settled on AngularDart.
Honestly they were probably too developer-friendly in the past. What other social network gives such comprehensive access via API that you can literally replicate the entire app in a third-party service? I'm not sure why any startup would allow third parties to make an end-run around their entire product.
>> The reality, as the author describes, is that Syriza’s call for debt relief
should have been granted.

But that is 100% the failure of Syriza, not the Europeans. Syriza took this
perfectly sensible, perfectly legitimate demand and turned it into a circus
act, backed by a farcical Referendum [1] and fronted by the clownish antics of
Yanis Varoufakis.

A unique opportunity to reason with our European partners was squandered, just
so that Varoufakis could burnish his personna of the maverick economics
professor. And because Tsipras, who was in way over his head, an inexperienced
young prime minister trying to negotiate with the heavy-weights of European
politics, did not have the courage or the honesty to accept reality for what
it was: that no, we didn't hold all the aces, no, the EU would not shed a tear
if we jumped off the Grexit cliff no matter how loudly Varoufakis proclaimed
it to be the divine truth; that, no, you cannot play chicken with frau Merkel,
you silly little boy.

And that the Europeans were not even out to get us. They needed something they
could present to their own citizens as a viable option. We gave them an
Aristophanean comedy instead, a shadow play of Karagiozis with all the bells
and whistles. And we paid the price, for the populism of our leaders, their
lack of seriousness and their incompetence.

And we still do.

[1] The referendum question regarded an offer by the EU that had already been
withdrawn before the referendum was called. The text of the question itself
was so vague and complex that on the one hand it immediately became a running
joke with various memes, and on the other, allowed all sides in the debate to
claim victory and only served to muddle the waters even further on what "The
Will of the People" really was.

at twitter’s scale, its not jus ruby, you would also have problems with php, python, node, and maybe even java. only language that will work well at that point are languages built for concurrencies such as scala, elixir, and go.

I think you misunderstood me. Local = EU. This was written from the perspective of a non-EU company (but obviously equally applies to EU companies).
I think you are missing the subtle point that helping the woman profiled get a college degree also helps her six children have better outcomes in life:

> And when parents get more education, their children tend to do better [0], not only in school but in all sorts of health outcomes.

[0]: https://www.childtrends.org/indicators/parental-education/

I can understand your desire not to provide material support for people who decide to have large families, but surely her six children made no such decision? To me, helping these kids’ mother complete a college degree seems like an exceptionally cheap intervention — especially since that money comes from a private foundation (the Amarillo College Foundation) and not the government itself.

But granted, I don’t know the magnitude of the positive effect on the kids.
You’re arguing definitions. Resourcefullness is encompassed by willpower in the context of this article.

Yet the point I am trying to make is that poor kids would have a tendency to make their decisions based on their context which isn’t, sadly - optimal in most cases.

The connection between “this kid doesn’t have to think about rudimentary issues because he’s better off” becomes closer to “rich people can risk more because their risk is hedged by their well-being”.
And it also makes a difference for a company, as you can set a € price, and it can work for more or less the entire EU.

Unfortunately, that isn't really what happens in practice. Although many states share the same currency, they do not share the same wealth or cost of living. You can't just pick one price for your product or service in Euro and then expect that everyone from France and Germany to Greece and the Eastern European states will be able to afford it.

The EU might like to present itself as a single market, and it tries very hard to force people to set one price that applies throughout. However, the illusion is shattered when it comes into contact with the more diverse reality, and there's always a risk when you artificially distort markets for political reasons that you'll do more harm than good.
The different monetary needs of different parts of the U.S. are a real issue but they can be papered over by taxing wealth in California and giving aid to Appalachia. That is, one country can coordinate its own monetary and fiscal policy, but countries in the E.U. can't, particularly because of the "Growth and Stability" pact.
Well, they can't, not on those steps, even if they are quiet as a fly in the middle of the day. That was the CamTin's point.
It's easy to slide into a maintenance role. I wouldn't say the pay is especially better. There aren't "maintenance engineers" making substantially more than "development engineers".
My bank makes me use a terrible rate and then adds a £1.50 charge on top, every time I use my card in the rest of Europe. So I'm still looking for good deals on Euros and carrying large amounts of cash when I go.
Time. Yes that's important as well. It's not just cooking.

Time is lost waiting for the bus, because you can't afford a car. You wait in line at the store because it can't afford another cashier and better technology. Etc.

People think poverty is their well to do life but with less money. Oh God, that's so ignorant.

BTW, the book Evicted is an eye and heart opener. Highly recommended.
Stepping back, any country run by humans will inevitably be corrupt. So we are really talking about degrees of corruption.

For context, I was referring to socialist countries under the European definition which is a mix of socialism and capitalism. This might include France, Denmark, Sweden etc. For us socialist != communist which is way further left.

As with everything there is a spectrum. I feel like in the US in some circles... socialism == communism and socialist policies are demonized.... a result of the cold war echoing through history. There is little language to describe a left of center policies.
Personally I really like the Reddit Apps like baconreader on mobile more. I also like how I am always signed in and getting notifications when someone replies to my comment.

All HakerNews apps fail on several ways for me.

1) COMMENTING - I really don't need to sign in or do anything if all I get are links to websites and other comments I can respond to

2) Reading links - Normally it is a rough transition. Once again baconreader is my favorite app for reading sites like HackerNews and Reddit. It has it's own simple reader built in. he official Reddit app also has great tabs and opens links inside the app

3) Notifications - No notifications on direct replies always seems weird to me
I absolutely hated taking tests (despite being good at it), and it's the reason why I dropped out of grad school and started a business. Everything in academia seemed to be a never ending series of tests: first literal tests and exams, later talk proposals and article submissions and applications for scholarships or grants... Academia seemed like one test after another, with no end in sight.

At some point I just couldn't stand the feeling of other people judging me any more. I really liked university, I liked all those smart people, the work seemed interesting, but I just didn't want to be tested any more.

Being self-employed means I no longer need to take tests. (I probably couldn't start a "startup" either, since applying for investments would be like taking a test as well)
I agree.

I'd describe my professional experience with Rails as: Rails optimizes for Day 1. Devise is a great example.

But I left Rails when I couldn't help but notice that it tends to break down over time without eternal vigilance. And even simple tasks required me to hold quite a bit of Rails trivia in my head.

These days I'm far less likely to give up simplicity so easily.
How does it compare to React-Native?

I know it compiles to native, but on the other hand only the business-logic in RN is written in JS, UI and bindings are native.

Create-React-Native-App and Expo already deliver very good UX.

My main pain points with CRNA/Expo are bundle size and in-app purchases, not performance or DX.
If the relationship is `y=x₀+x₁+𝓝`, then x₀ is more strongly correlated to `y-x₁` than it is to `y` alone. This holds even if x₀ and x₁ are strongly correlated, as long as they're not 100% correlated.
CarMax is awesome, when you need a new car, you can go there and get one without too much worry about hidden problems or being overpriced. Markup they charge, provided they didn't change much in last few years is totally worth it.

Saving few bucks but risking having a car with problems is not worth it. This is where CarMax provides most value.
Used to love playing dice on various crypto sites. Always have been in awe at those custom dice bots that people have built on Chrome.

And I've noticed that there isn't one for Edgeless (dice & blackjack with 0% edge), and so I've created a dice bot that allows a multiple steps martingale strategy.

It's open source and 100% free, give it a roll!

I think you're misunderstanding The Desire To Pass Tests, and GP's point about it.

One choice of the Marshmallow Test results in a bigger number and one choice results in a smaller number. To a person with The Desire To Pass Tests, this is interpreted as equivalent to the score on a school test. In other words, the bigger number signals that one answer is correct, to someone who looks out for those signals.

This is not saying that the choice is correct, in an inherent sense, and I think that's what you're getting hung up on. The Marshmallow Test measures behavior choices and there's no objective correct answer, but those behavior choices may have a reason or a reasoning framework behind them. And that reasoning framework may be an already-instilled belief that given two options, one option is correct and it's important to choose that option. In other words, the behavioral choice is to treat the experiment as a school test and try to pass that test.

I think while it’s bad to have people thinking that Redis has “security” issues, no matter what you do people will find ways to work around it.

I personally would like to see Redis focus on what it’s best for and not add additional “features” for the purpose of PR.

Redis is an awesome piece of software, but at the end of the day, the user of the software is responsible for using it properly.
Australia has about 25 million people and about five economic centres of more than a million people. The reserve bank has to set one rate. At times, it gives compromise rates that are a tradeoff between a mining boom on one side of the country, and a downturn on the other.

The European central bank has a much larger version of the same problem. Iceland was able to use rates to help it out of its economic collapse. Greece can't do this.

The quality of consumer FX has steadily improved over the decades. Access to technology has given tighter spreads and convenience. If the Euro goes, I hope there is some consideration given to running regional currencies rather than national. Imagine if a "Bank of Italy" maintained independent northern, central, and southern notes.
But isn't this the exact rule that Bill Gates violated when he moved to build a software business at a time when software development (for personal computers) was mainly a hobby?
You conveniently forget the final part. Patents give you a limited monopoly in exchange for full disclosure of your invention. By filing for a patent you accept that all the knowledge it contains becomes public domain. That’s the original deal. The comment I reacted on describes the IMHO perverted way patents are used nowadays. They don’t share knowledge (especially software patents), they only incentivise defensive, litigious behaviour in the market.
I’m aware. Is this like a thing that’s likely to happen.
I'm experimenting with Anvil[0] at the moment. It's a bit like a web version of Delphi or Visual Basic. You build everything in Python. The front end stuff gets compiled to JavaScript. You can publish your app in a click. There is a built in database service, authentication and integrations with Google docs. It has a lot of potential.

I think that's a great idea. dark themes are used a LOT on phones, so having the free version ad-free and functional but without a dark theme makes it an amazing demo.

Make sure to do a write-up at some point on how it worked out ;)
Carmax is so successful because they emphasize the "why" and not the "how." Carmax believes buying and selling cars should be easy not cost effective for consumers. I sold a 2000 Toyota Tacoma with over 100k miles for $20k that I bought for $24k and drove for 7 years. Thought I got a good deal, literally took one hour. I just miss the truck.
How about Italy and Portugal then? The truth is that the Euro was a political decision with disregard of ecomics. That's why Margaret Tacher refused to adopt the Euro for the UK and warned that it would end democracy in Europe.

Exactly. It was like the uncanny valley of programming. It was so close to English that you would think should work didn't. I never had that issue with HyperTalk back in the day.

But, Applescript was always just an implementation detail. The underlying Open Scripting Architecture has always worked with multiple languages.
Interesting. I hadn't heard about those. I doubt it would handle 90db though. That's pretty loud, probably dangerously so for an extended period; it's about how loud a lawn mower is when you're operating it.

Standard ear protection attenuates about 15-30db.
A couple weeks ago I wrote an Automator folder action that faxes any PDF dropped into it (https://github.com/EricWVGG/birchfax, if anyone is interested). Uses a bit of Automator, a bit of Applescript, a bit of Node. Fun little exercise and has been enormously useful to a friend whose life now depends on faxing forms to hospitals and insurance companies every week.

But the whole experience also left me sad about the Macintosh platform. Applescript is a hot mess of a language; it can be done in Javascript now, but that's largely undocumented. Thanks to poor accessibility of the technology, the support for scripting in apps is waning.

Automator, goodness, what a wild tool… but again, the documentation is horrible. Apple made two phenomenal technologies and then completely fumbled on the last mile.

The future of initiatives like Siri needs robust inter-app scripting. My only wish for the future of MacOS and iOS is a renewed push for this.

(okay, that and lock screen "complications")
This is basically the same in the US or any other major country/economic block with a single currency.

Setting a price in the US will mean you also exclude people from poorer regions where cost of living and wages are lower. This is not exclusive in the eurozone.

Also, your last argument makes little sense in my opinion. The EU's predecessors itself massively distorted both steel and coal markets to "force" peace and cooperation through the contintent and deal with the age old problem of nationalism and revenge over old wars...

Could that be considered a bad thing because it distorted the markets? I highly doubt many would agree?
If most Hollywood movies featured mostly ordinary looking actors but with excellent acting, then I would've agreed with you that the acting ability is valued more.

There are a few genius actors that made their way into Hollywood because of acting, not looks. But they are an exception to the rule. The vast majority of movies are mediocre and feature rather attractive actors (actresses in particular) whose acting is very basic and non-remarkable.
