> The millions of desktops riddled with adware and viruses running to this day is pretty good evidence that most people cannot effectively manage software on a desktop OS.

That seems like victim blaming to me. I think this is more like pretty good evidence that Microsoft has done a disservice to its users vis a vis their security.

> Remember when you'd find four different toolbars on IE that your friend/family/neighbor had no idea how they got?

Yeah. I fixed that problem by introducing them to Ubuntu and Firefox, not by cordoning off their ability to install applications of their choosing.

> If you're on this site you are not most people. But, if it wasn't for the rules of Apple and Google what kind of things do you think Candy Crush would install on your elderly relative's phone?

I dunno man, this seems like a very dangerous argument to me. It's like you're saying that there's a huge silent majority that is not qualified to be the sovereign over the machines in their life, and that's not my world view.

I acknowledge that malware is a huge issue, but I think it's reasonably clear that the best ways of mitigating it do not include disempowering people or cutting their free speech at the knees.

Do you or anyone here have suggestions on the happy versions of the standards and protocols that result in 'can't really tell a difference'? I tried a few years ago and my middle aged 14 kHz roll-off happy with v0 VBR mp3 ears could tell a difference, I finally understood what people were talking about with listening fatigue and the like. Now admittedly it's been a few a few years and my car isn't likely to be able to negotiate a happy protocol but I'd love to get a reasonably priced stereo bluetooth headset that sounded OK.

I have the same problem because I don't have a facebook account. I'm left out of a lot of discussion and miss out on invitations because of it.

But if I really look back, I can't remember any of it. Nothing was actually that important. It seems like it is on the moment, but the really important stuff, people make the effort to reach out to me for it.

It's actually a good social filter.
That is, indeed, _very_ good. I might globally allow JS to load from consent.cookiebot.com for that.

I don't guarantee that it's talking about Canadian French specifically, but Empires of the Word: A Language History of the World ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GUBIJ8/ ) has some discussion of the relationship between new world French and France French, including a contemporary source remarking on how "good" (= upper class Parisian) new world French was at the time.
I find the article quite a bit hyperbolic, but it still rings true. Technology is a double-edged sword, and America's obsession with it is wreaking havoc. The more you use it, the more you depend on it. and the more people spend time tapping virtual buttons on touch screens, the more they become removed from the "basics of life", separated from physical existence by more and more layers of "abstraction" - in more than one sense.

It does seem like lots of people today don't know how to care of themselves in the most basic way - cook healthy food, grow some vegetables, do laundry or wash dishes by hand, prepare a grandma medicine for one's children when they have a fever... Instead they automatically reach for their credit card and make a purchase.

No wonder everything is so expensive when you depend on "services" for every little necessity of life.

The Economist is ignoring the fact that the city administration in San Francisco is now extremely busy, and I mean 24/7 busy, cracking down on electric scooters that - unlike needles, human excrements, tents and substance abuse - are a real problem that needs a resolution ASAP.

As soon as this insurmountable plague has been eradicated, the city administration will finally have time to talk again about the things that matter, like: Should Vaillancourt Fountain be finally removed or not? Or after introducing the soda tax, is it finally time for a burrito tax? Of course really anything that would prevent them from fixing the real problems that are affecting SF.

SF needs its own Rudy Giuliani and its own Broken Windows policy[1].

Starting a Second Machine Learning Tools Company, Ten Years Later
When an organization scales to the point where they need something like TripleByte, they're going to be using some kind of impersonal screening process, though. This is better than some disinterested HR drone scanning resumes for keywords.
I hear you on that. I think it may work better for other types of interactions but not this one on Amazon reviews, as you've said, there's probably a stronger incentive for people who want to game the system to jump through the hoops compared to ones who don't.
I lived with my sisters kid who was 22 at the time. We decided to do Christmas at our apartment. So about 30 people crammed into our two bedroom place. Coreys dad came and and was wearing a MAGA hat and shirt. Then he said Trump will win and my beaner girlfriend will be deported. He is a cop in Vancouver Washington at this very moment.

So I just grab a book and six pack and head to the roof of the the Jack in the Box a few blocks away. Easy to get up there and I can read and drink in peace.

Fast forward a year.

Now I live alone. Christmas at my apartment. Corey is in San Diego. The Trump supporter who has no real connection to any family that will be at my apartment asks for directions to the C-mas party. I tell him he is not invited. He is not happy. I do not care.

Seriously. Life is short. I am not going to try to get along with openly racist people. They can die in a fire.

In terms of impact to society I wonder what the effect would be of UBI and releasing people from BS jobs: would people use their new free time in a socially neutral or better way, or would anti-social acts increase?

Do cost of living calculators take into account the more static pricing of non-necessities?

For example, maybe an apartment in the Bay Area costs, say, 300% what it costs in a major mid-western city. Groceries are 150% more expensive and other necessities are equally as expensive. (All numbers made up for the sake of example)

After you pay for the things you need though, you move on to things you want. Investments in stocks and bonds still cost the same no matter where you live. Flights actually are often cheaper from major, HCOL cities. Mobile phones cost the same online no matter where you live.

So basically I don't know if the cost of living calculators properly scale with the incomes that SWE provides in certain markets (specifically the PNW).

Does this make sense? I'd be interested if anyone had more information about this.
The paper did include transportation in the evaluation:

"Studies included provided ~1050 estimates of postfarm processes. To fill gaps in processing, packaging, or retail, we used additional meta-analyses of 153 studies providing 550 observations. Transport and losses were included from global data sets"
Not a fan of Triplebyte. I'm a full stack engineer with 10 years of experience building web apps, and while I'm not the best in the world, I'm still pretty damn good. I took Triplebyte's interview a few months ago, and they rejected me with a link to a tutorial on how to build your first webpage (https://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/). This company knows absolutely nothing about hiring good engineers.
That makes sense. You shouldn't normally be allowed to impersonate another username, which is exactly what a full import does.
As usual, Carl Icahn...
On a side note, I took the 20-30 min front-end exam that is referenced in the article and a few things bug me (in case anyone from TripleByte is reading):

1. I did "exceptionally well" but I don't know how many I got right or in what percentile I fell in. Why? Firstly, I'm immediately suspect if I actually did that well. For all I know, the "top percent" could just be anyone in the top 50%. And the top 50% only gets 10 questions right. But more importantly, I already stated in the beginning I was taking it for fun, so why can't I learn what I got wrong so I can improve? I imagine there were areas I got wrong that were repeated, which brings me to my next point...

2. Why so React-centric? I happen to use it but plenty of people use Angular or Vue. You can't expect them to know about the React events lifecycle.

3. Okay, so I don't live in SF or NYC. But I know some of those bigger companies have offices in Boston, where I do live. Why can't you make that work if you already know what companies are in your pipeline and which offices they have? Seems super expensive and wasteful to lose out on a great engineer when you know your list of 200 companies totally has an office not in SF or NYC (e.g. Facebook).

4. Okay, so I want to work remote. Why can't I just take your final Google hangouts exam so that way you have on file "okay cool this person is great, we can fast track this person." If you green light companies who are remote-friendly, you don't have to worry about this issue. Plus isn't TripleByte a YC company, working with other YC companies? I know for a fact that GitLab is also YC and is a remote-friendly company. Not to mention you've advertised for remote engineers! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15066073

I dunno, given that the article is all about touting how effective the 30 question exam is at screening out candidates, you'd think you'd want to do something useful with that quiz instead of locking people out, even if they don't fit your current criteria.
I'm making a distinction about what identity is bound to and how it is bound. The way our brain presents the world to us it seems as if the things themselves 'have' identities, but it is some function that is being computed in our brain that makes those things distinct from each other. It is the structure of the function that gives distinctness. This inverts the question of whether things 'have' distinct identities, into whether it is possible to find a function that can distinguish between any set of things. My point about failure was that all identities as we think of them are something like a hash function with finite length, there is always a chance of collision and it is important to know how they fail. For example, if you pick primary DNA sequence as the definition for identity, then your functional will fail for all identical twins. If you pick some metric on facial structure as measured by a 2d camera, then anything that can evoke the same pattern on the sensor of the camera will be indistinguishable, even a picture of your face. This is not because these things do not 'have' unique identities, it is because the function we choose was bad. Proving that there is no function that can distinguish between two things is exceedingly difficult.

Definitely don't want SPOF. Firefox has both soft-fail and hard-fail modes.. for a soft fail it will fallback to traditional port 53 DNS. Its likely that will be the most common deployment - you need it to deal with captive portals and other split horizon issues as well cloud uptime incidents. But there is a hard fail mode if that is suitable for your environment.

and of course defaults matter a lot, but you will be able to select your preferred DoH endpoint (or not use it at all). Firefox wouldn't lock something like that down.
Ask HN: What's the purpose of pre- and post-money valuations
In an investment scenario, the two terms pre- and post-money valuation mean different things. The definition of these terms is clear, however I wonder what the purpose is and why the term "pre-money valuation" even exists.

Example:

A startup raises 500 000 USD giving up 50%. The pre-money valuation is 500 000 USD. The post-money valuation is 1 000 000 USD.

However, considering the meaning of the word "valuation" this is not really true, because for both the pre- and post-money valuation the true "valuation" of the company was always determined to be 1 000 000. One side merely decided to sell half of the shares for the price of their worth.

What is the purpose of pre-money valuations, given that they don't reflect the real valuation of a company?
> Good for you.

Is that particularly helpful here in this discussion?

> That doesn't answer the question of why you would choose to do that now when you don't have to.

Nor does it answer the question of why that dichotomy is being presented as the only option.

I presented what I found to be the median home price, a price unimaginable to the average SF resident. It's a comparison point to highlight the vast gulf between the two markets. It's not a declaration of intent to drop what I'm doing and move to a $35k home in Detroit without critical analysis.

> The Economist is ignoring the fact that the city administration in San Francisco is now extremely busy, and I mean 24/7 busy, cracking down on electric scooters that - unlike needles, human excrements, tents and substance abuse - are a real problem that needs a resolution ASAP.

Don't discount the virtue signaling that's going on here. It's an election year, and tech is still a reasonably good whipping boy for voters. Of all my friends, the non-tech ones seem much more likely to vote than the tech ones. Many of my tech friends in SF aren't even registered to vote here.
That's kind of the whole point. Is the city full and now only open to the wealthy and people who got lucky enough to buy houses > 5 years ago (or get locked into rent control > 5 years ago), or should it be allowed to grow to welcome new people from around the country and world who want to move here in search of better opportunities? Because people who have lived here 3 years or less by extension includes everyone who doesn't live here yet (as well as basically everyone under 25 unless they grew up here).

I would also push back on the "deciding whether to stay for 2 more years" part - sure, maybe young people tend to plan 2 years ahead at a time, but they're really deciding if it's a place they want to settle down in permanently. If they stay 2 more years they may well end up staying 20 more.

So I don't think it's at all a stretch to say this is a make or break issue for the city.
Much of what you point out as benefits of growth aren't necessarily the way it has to be. We have a deeply rooted system built entirely around a growth model, and growth will inevitably have to cease since it's inherently unsustainable. Everything will need to adapt to that situation, and much of your assumptions will necessarily no longer be true for the nation to function. I don't know what that will look like, but we must adapt to a world without growth, the sooner the better, for everyone in the long-term.

I already stated that it's impossible to keep up with the population growth. This is precisely why I feel it's important to clearly state the figures in terms that really reflect what's seen by individuals walking through our city streets. I don't have the impression that the average person actually groks this coupling, and it's articles like those portraying such things in per capita figures which helps reinforce the illusion things are improving while they're actually deteriorating.

They specifically called out Apple for losing the jack, and a year later the Pixel 2 didn't have one either.
Why would they want to do that in the first place?
Oh please. That's about as dishonest and manipulative as calling copyright infringement piracy.

The real truth is nobody really cares about how much money these people are losing. We're looking out for ourselves because companies won't. Just because you're serving some content I may or may not be interested in doesn't mean you get to rape my ears with loud autoplaying videos I don't want to watch.

If you open it up to further ideas like sanctuary cities (from immigration law) and reduce all barriers to entry, then yes there is probably an unsatisfiable number of people looking to live in the bay area. The weather is nice, the jobs pay well (and employers demand you be here, not remote), there is great food and beautiful places to be.
Yes, but they sound like 10 dollar earbuds. (VZ Monks are 5 bucks and are of similar sound quality.)

I can't connect a proper headphone to them, and frankly, batteries go bad. When your battery dies on those, you'll be paying another 1XX dollars. And they'll still sound like a 10 dollar earbud.

Oh, I can also get beats! So then I can get something that sounds like a 30 dollar headphone (like the Monoprice retros) for a 10x premium. If I get a 200 dollar headphone (like... say... the Sennheiser/Massdrop 6xx or the Beyerdynamic DT 770/880/990) then I expect it to last for years.

Or, if we're talking IEMs, perhaps the $100 1More triple drivers...

So, my primary complaint is that convenience isn't worth 200 dollars for something that is guaranteed to fail due to the battery.
A land value tax works well, by removing the gains from land appreciation. This taxes the land value but not the property value, so the land owner captures the value of their improvement but not the value of rising land prices generally.

If you think about a land owner in SF, they didn't really do anything to earn the value of the appreciation of their land. They might have improved their house but the land value went up because of the tech boom.

In such a scenario, at the state level, you would also reduce or eliminate other taxes like the income tax and sales tax.

GMO mosquitoes: how CRISPR and gene drives could help end malaria
> with increased density comes increased crime, stressed parking, and other problems.

Increased density does not increase crime. There's no evidence for this. There are very dense places with low crime and very low density place with lots of crime.

"stressed parking" is probably true, but part of the point of increased density is that you have less need for a car.

"other problems" is dog whistle.
that’s not true.
> you need something that can be in a state or in different states

No, you don't. That's the erroneous thinking that led people on the fruitless search for the "luminiferous aether" in the late 19th and early 20th century. Ultimately, everything in our universe emerges from the quantum wave function. I suppose you could say that the wave function is "something" but it is definitely not "some thing".
