Just chiming in to say what really needs to be said here:

If you use your credit card to pay for things you cannot afford, you are only doing yourself financial harm.

Credit cards are for building credit, generating rewards, and short-term borrowing.

If you are charging thousands of dollars to your credit card and planning to pay it back years later when you make more money, you're effectively just paying 1.5-2.0x the cost for everything you buy, because every year you are going to pay at least 15% in interest, and since you are spending more money than you make your debts will never go down.

Don't borrow from your future self. It makes no sense, and there's literally no guarantee that you'll ever make more than you do right now.
The GPL says nothing about branding though. The GPL is about user freedom, the ability to let the user improve (and share improved version of) the software.

In general, people tend to confuse copyright/patent with branding. The former is about using, while the later is about naming. You can totally make the next git-killer, and base it on git. What you cannot do is name it "GitSomething" (regardless of whether it uses git behind the scenes), as that would be a trademark violation.

I personally think the policy makes sense, but I also understand that there might be reasonable arguments either side. But framing it as an "anti-GPL" thing seems disingenuous to me.
Did I anywhere use the words "this happens 100% of the time"? No, I shared a personal reflection, plus would be happy to rattle off about ten more examples if you'd like. Once I get my life back in order, I intend to petition the Washington State Legislature, because I am not happy about laws that enabled my nut-job ex to use the legal system to her whims while leaving me on the edge of bankruptcy. I would like to believe this was not the legislature or courts intents, yet I have at this point read many accounts of exactly this scenario. So quit putting words in my mouth that I didn't use and cite some of your own counter-facts if you feel otherwise.
Things I've seen:
* No 401ks (which means I'm paying extra in taxes).
* Crappy health benefits (prescriptions costing 4x what they do under other plans or high deductible plans).
* No commuter benefits/pre-tax Clipper cards.
* No tuition reimbursement or education budget, the assumption being that just working is supposed to be the whole of the employee's career advancement.
* No parental leave.
* No childcare support (why this isn't rolled into coworking spaces I have no idea.)
* No HR in case of harassment, politics or personal vendettas.
Well if I'm sober from a mental perspective, I can reverse >=11 digits if heard with a speed of 1~2 Hz.
I don't think it violates the GPL, as the GPL doesn't really care about names. You still have every right to fork git, but have to call it a different name. So if you call your fork "treengler" or whatever, you'd be fine. As far as I can see, you could also still say on your website "Treengler is a fork of Git, that adds/modifies/improves... it in the following way, ...".

To me that seems to be compatible with the text as well as the spirit of the GPL. I think a similar discussion came up in the Debian project with the Firefox trademark at some point. Debian is quite picky about what it means for software to be free, and they seem to be fine with derivatives not being allowed to modify Firefox without changing the name. (At least, I think that was the end status of this discussion.)
Anecdotally, I know plenty of 66s and 67s at Microsoft that are pulling $300-500k in TC. Microsoft’s stock rise has also made this decade extremely nice for grants.

Course, with the average house going for $1 million in Kirkland, they have to spend it.
I find it more helpful to examine the fear of being homeless and judge it. If I found myself in that bad situation, would I actually be helpless, or would I find a way to overcome it? Evidence based on my past experience suggests that I'd overcome it; therefore the fear is invalid.
Give yourself a negative identity

I was sexually abused as a child. I spent a total of about 3.5 years in therapy, a year in my teens and 2.5 years in my twenties.

Therapy was valuable, but I quit in large part for the above reason: I was at a point where spending an hour or more every week digging around in the dirt of my past was just keeping alive an identity as a victim. It was keeping me stuck. It was keeping me miserable.

So I spent the next few years focused on Getting A Life and practicing the art of Living Well Is The Best Revenge. And it's one of the wisest moves I ever made.
> Probably the best examples would be found in the in-group/out-group dynamics in religious cults and closed-state regimes. The Nazis exploited these principles in the 1930s to impressive effect. But what happened in Zimbardo's experiment is more closely analogous to what you see in places like North Korea today, along with abuses carried out in insular groups ranging from the Branch Davidians to the Mormons. The same hierarchies form and the same roles are played.

You means groups that use heavy levels of indoctrination to induce this behavior? hat is the exact opposite of Zimbardo's claim that all you have to do is randomly assign someone a role and they will exhibit this behavior without prompting.

> It is foolish in the extreme to dismiss Zimbardo's work because of a few ethical hangups.

His work is not dismissed because of "ethical hangups" about how he treated experimental subjects, but because he has repeatedly lied about and misrepresented the experimental protocol he followed. Lying about experimental protocols are some of the BEST reasons to dismiss a scientists work.

> What he did is highly reproducible, but only outside the bounds of regulated academia.

Except the study he claims to have run has been reproduced and did not have similar results.

> What he did is highly reproducible, but only outside the bounds of regulated academia.

We have evidence that he didn't actually do what he claimed to do.

We also have evidence that if you do what he claimed to do, you get different results.

> Milgram has indeed come under similar criticism from people who are desperate to find another explanation

Miligram did excellent science. Unlike Zimbardo, he did careful follow studies to try to understand and elucidate the results he found and was generally careful about characterizing the conclusions that could be drawn from his work. Milgram's studies and the conclusions he drew from them are widely misrepresented in popular culture by people eager to provide an excuse we can use to absolve ourselves of responsibility for "just doing our jobs".
No, they're voracious recruiting machines. It is certainly possible to get hired by writing into a webform; it's not a particularly effective way relative to others, but it works enough to justify them sending those leads to recruiters.

Other than knowing an acquaintance that works in the company I see no other way to get into an interview more quickly. You should certainly cultivate an internal advocate. In no circumstance will that be worse than applying cold; it will often be better.
The money aspect is interesting from a want-to-be founder's perspective.

Suppose you know you want to do a startup, but want to gain some "experience".

You could

A) Work at FANG for 4 years, put away 200-300k, blow most of it in the first year learning how to run a startup.

B) Work at a startup for 4 years, put away 50k, raise 200k seed and find yourself in roughly the same place, minus 10% equity.

For someone who doesn't intend to go on as a founder, my current conclusion is go to whoever will pay the most without completely compromising your morals.

The expected value of your options is not 400k, and even if you get lucky it wont be available for 8+ years. Dear 22 year old self, would you like to put a down payment on a house when your 30? If so, go get a job that aligns with your goals.

As others have mentioned here, as long as a founder isn't blatantly fraudulent, things tend to work out quite well for them. Founders learn the most and are often in the position to try again, either in the form of another startup or as a product manager within an established company. FAANG companies are also hungry for aquihires, so its possible that founders holding preferred stock may even walk away with something.

As an employee, the butt end of the bimodal distribution is probably negative. It's easiest to get through the FAANG hiring process as a new-grad, and not having one on your resume makes it even harder to break back in later.

My experiences only. I interned at and ultimately turned down a FAANG for startups 5 years ago. In the process of starting my own now.

Typical American Visa credit card from HugeAmericanBank with no foreign exchange fee. I suspect it is related to the payment processor as hinted above.

It’s somewhat rare and I see it only in smaller stores. Like a few days ago I was in a mom and pop kebab shop in a small town and it didn’t work.

I’ve had similar problems on RyanAir planes in Europe (but for some reason whoever does payments for EasyJet, SAS, Norwegian, or British Airways I have no issues with)
Ask HN: Remote developers with a spouse/kids, where do you live?
I've just scored my first 100% remote developer job making $150k a year. My wife is a full-time parent. We have two kids that are under 4 and currently live in Los Angeles. I'm over the high cost of living, crowds, smog, and have a feeling that we should move to save money, but I'm not sure where.

What do you like/dislike about where you live?

Where would you live if you could? Why?
Sure, but it's not accurate to say

Yep, say hello to startups who go cheap by outsourcing to developers who are not as good in their craft or don't care about learning more.

>When Bitcoin was increasing 10-25% a month, makes total sense to max out your credit and pay off your balance the next month. Not sure if this was a risk-tolerant move, or just a risk-ignorant move.

No it didn't! There was no guarantee that the value was going to keep going up! If you invested like it was a guarantee of profit, you absolutely should never ever invest - even if you managed to profit off of BTC.

Remember, for every person buying Bitcoin because the price was going up, there was somebody else selling it because they thought the price was likely to drop. In a speculative market, you cannot look back at past performance and declare it "makes total sense" for everyone to have had invested recklessly during that time period.

You'll likely use that same excuse to invest wildly again later when it looks like a sure-bet again, and if you're wrong (as many people have been in crypto markets) you stand to lose a massive amount of your net worth in the process.

I have the Xiaomi Air 12 laptop [1]. It's charged from USB-C, which allows me to take one charger for my laptop, phone and headphones.

It will not charge from a phone charger though, as it is not powerful enough. I have to use the one that came with it or a similar powerful enough one. I tried the ones in the Apple store and they power this laptop just fine.

>>unless both parties are very, very agreeable

This is the real problem, I think - people can't seem to split agreeably. If you have a good solution for that I'm sure we can clean up all the messy divorces. Until then though...not sure what options we have.
>If I want to be at a level where I can sketch photorealistically in __X__ amount of years, as if I'm drawing a field manual, where should I begin?

Hmmm that seems like a poor way to learn art...kind of like it would be a poor way to learn about computers. I've been playing with computers since I was about six, playing music since I was just a little bit older and recently started stone carving.

I never looked at any of those things with the goal of in two years I should be able to do this. I've definitely had certain things i've wanted to learn. When I was younger I wanted to learn to be an awesome metal guitar player...and for a few years I got really good at it...but my musical tastes changed and i've kinda just started to learn styles I enjoy playing.

Same with computers. The more i've learned over the years i've been able to work on bigger more complicated projects and as i've learned things over time whole new worlds I never knew existed before opened up to me.

I recommend just starting out. Get as many resources as you can, find some art styles you enjoy and have fun with it. You'll learn more that way and you might find you actually prefer a total different aspect of it than the one you thought you would when first starting. These are just my thoughts. Everyone learns differently but I find I always learn more when I'm having fun with something than trying deperately to learn something in x amount of time.
I see. But for most people, when they look at their W-2 they will see the total cash they earned. So it is fair that people call that their salary.

He lost me when he started disparaging math. How is it science without falsifiability, and how useful would such a science be without inference and extrapolation? He cites Khaneman and Thaler, who are both intensely focused on statistical reasoning. Sunstein is a legal scholar. Nassim Taleb is a hedge fund manager with a chair at NYU's school of engineering.

Do you have any links to the places already doing it? I'd like to know more about them.
The idea of "restoring" art is really fascinating to me. There have been times in the past where the restorers' choices would likely have been in conflict with the artist's original intention. I'd love to know more about the people who do that work and how they justify the decisions they make because it's not always about making sure things look exactly as they did when the painting was originally completed.
You sir, are on point. I read this comment after the one above and literally laughed out loud.
From OC:
> I.e., not caused by the experimenters asking the participants to behave a certain way

I think the point is, OC is presenting the experiment as something that comes about as a result of the setting (including uniform). But, I think from the researcher's and participants perspective, the instructions played a significant role.

From article:
> For Korpi, the most frightening thing about the experiment was being told that, regardless of his desire to quit, he truly did not have the power to leave.

> Another prisoner, Richard Yacco, recalled being stunned on the experiment’s second day after asking a staff-member how to quit and learning that he couldn’t. A third prisoner, Clay Ramsay, was so dismayed on discovering that he was trapped that he started a hunger strike.

> a taped conversation between Zimbardo and his staff on day three of the simulation: “An interesting thing was that the guys who came in yesterday, the two guys who came in and said they wanted to leave, and I said no,”

So, yeah, the instructions were a huge part of the experiment. People wanted to leave and couldn't. The action/reaction between the participants ("I want to leave"/"No.", complain/6 hours in solitary) probably made the scenario much more real than the hallway posing as a jail or the fake uniforms.

So, figuratively or literally I don't think it was about what happens when you put on a uniform. I think it's more about what happens when someone tells you to follow a set of rules that create an empowered/disempowered dynamic.
Maybe it’s just semantics but what is the distinction between doing something like drugs for pleasure versus doing something like drugs for escapism? Do they overlap?

I'm not against net neurality, but ISPs would lower prices, as smaller ISPs would charge less to stay competitive.

I guess that depends on the jurisdiction. I worked at a company with unlimited vacations and they had to pay. It got quite complicated to estimate due days when employees started leaving in droves and there was no record of any holiday taken.

Right, that's why our ancestors didn't all evolve that mutation anyway. But our ancestral environment isn't the same as our current environment: just engineer more genes to paper over each successive disadvantage, recursively, until the only remaining disadvantage is "reduced energy efficiency". Because our current environment is more than efficient at supplying humans with energy.
It seems to me that the people with hurt feelings are not exactly the same as the ones described by the article.

4, 5, 7, 9, 13 and 14 are definitely hostile behaviours. They're also self-damaging because, as I advised, people runs. But these behaviours are firstly and foremost against others.

If someone gets hurt feelings about those, I'm fine with it.
Here's one that may have been mentioned, but wow, there are a lot of comments.

Founders: get over yourselves. I understand that you have to have a lot of faith in yourself to do what you're doing.

At the very least, try to have some humility, and maybe understand that what you're doing may not be world-changing after all.

The key difference between rumination and self-reflection is that rumination doesn't accomplish anything. As soon as you finish examining whatever you were examining, you're right back at square one with no new insights. It's essentially beating yourself up for doing the best you can.

Self-reflection seems like rumination, but the goal is to learn something from whatever you're examining. To take a lesson from it, if there is a lesson. Not every moment is a teachable moment. If you're lucky, many of them are.

Sometimes an experience is just an experience, and there's nothing different you could or should have done. Take, for example, the numerous times I've been honked at in traffic. Is there some hidden meaning in those beeps? Should I have been paying more attention in that moment? Or did I make an honest mistake? If it's an honest mistake, there's nothing I can really do. No magical training regimen will make me an infallible driver, so I have to move on.

It's tempting in some cases to keep looking for a lesson. Some experiences will never contain a lesson no matter how hard you look. Rumination is cultivating the desert of those experiences.

It's not simply compensation, but the variety and flexibility of learning or working in different things, and from others.

Try doing that with a startup whose bulk of development is done overseas. No personal work connection, lack of meaningful discussion (due to time zones and cultural/philosophy barrier), no concern for your growth as an individual. You are more likely to be distant from your workers due to startups' smaller budgets discouraging the use of in-house developers.

The Foobar coding challenge seems to work really for Google, for whatever reason.

Go to Google and search "python list comprehension" in a bunch of different tabs. Make sure it's exactly that. If you have an extra 's', or if you do "list comprehension python", it's not gonna work.

If you go through the first 3 levels, then they'll ask you to send in a resume.

Admittedly, I only know results from the perspective of students, but I know several people who were initially rejected that got callbacks after finishing Foobar.
