It's remarkable how commonly that link, between the USD and the vast US economy vs oil, is understood backwards. I think it's frequently misunderstood as an ideological result.

My other favorite: the failure to understand how a rising or falling dollar value is what has been triggering the commodity boom cycles, rather than primarily demand or magic animal spirits. The 1990s saw incredible global economic growth, and oil (gold etc) got cheaper and cheaper as the USD gained value toward the end of the decade. The global economy expanded dramatically from 1980 to 2000, yet the price of oil collapsed, despite demand going through the roof. It of course wasn't supply/demand that caused oil to go from $20 to $120 inflation adjusted, from ~1973 to 1980, it was a debased dollar; and it wasn't supply/demand that then caused oil to implode from $120 to under $20 (again, inflation adjusted) by 1999-2000. Similarly the GW Bush wars and economic policies + Fed policies heavily debased the USD, which sent oil, gold etc soaring and other nation GDPs soaring when priced in dollars. And then when a stronger dollar returned in 2014, post QE, oil plunged accordingly (and that was incorrectly blamed on oversupply of oil, when in fact oil had been in oversupply for years prior to it crashing). And again most recently, oil began climbing again, exactly when the dollar began falling from its highs (eg 100+ on the dollar index).

Modern 'economists' get these relationships entirely backwards. They also comically miss the way the US has been able to restrain Russia by using the USD to crash oil (their achilles heel), which was done in the Reagan years and toppled the USSR by bankrupting its finances (it wasn't military spending that did them in), and again immediately after the Ukraine invasion (brutally punishing their economy and making it difficult for Putin to continue to fund his foreign adventures).
Also, in that 25 minutes, you can discover the actual blocker to doing the task. Oftentimes, I find that my dread about a task is because of some ambiguity. By committing to a certain chunk of time working on it, it becomes obvious what that ambiguity is.

Of course, then I have to push through the discomfort of resolving that ambiguity. But that is easier now that I'm an adult and:

1) Know how to frame questions in a way that sets the answerer up for success.

2) Can ask "why are we doing this?" (better phrased "what is our goal in doing this?") and get an actual answer this rather than "because I said so".

3) Have the backbone & confidence to push back when someone says "stop procrastinating, just write the damn essay." and press until I get the question answered or decide that I'm not going to do the task.

This article muddles association with causation.

I think it's dangerous to assume that these traits cause unhappiness, even if that might be true for some people in particular cases.

If you are less happy, you are probably less likely to take a risk with your job. If you are less happy, you a probably more likely to start a fight or fall out with your partner. If you are less happy you are likely to give yourself a negative identity. etc etc etc etc..

I don't get the feeling that this article is written by someone who has brought themselves on a journey out of unhappiness, but rather by someone who is irritated by someone else's unhappiness.

All these arguments assume rational arguments, especially economical, are the most important factors in deciding to make children.

I believe that irrational factors are easily overlooked but predominant. There is a certain biological drive to raise children, stronger in some people compared to others. And various factors modulate this drive, again unconsciously.

Most of the time, in free societies at least, it is the woman who makes most of the decision. If she really wants to have a child, nothing and nobody can stop her, short of a reproductive problem.

I think there's a bit of confusion around what market comp is. It doesn't matter that Facebook, Apple, etc. are willing to pay top of market at $500k - while they're big firms who employ a lot of people, I'd wager they're still not the majority of the labor market. It is also unrealistic to suggest that the "average" engineer has a high chance of being hired there.

I suspect true "market" rates are between $120-200k, depending on the seniority of the employee and the stage of the firm. A lot lower once you step away from US Pacific.

I think the best reason to be an early employee at a startup is if you plan on founding your own startup one day and want to get some hands-on experience. You won't make the strategic decisions, but you'll have easy access to the founders and will get to learn a lot about how to set up and run a company (both good and bad).

So why not just found your own company? Well, here are a few reasons: (a) you need financing but don't know how fundraising works and don't have a network to tap (b) you don't know how sales works (c) you don't have a good co-founder lined up (d) you're still a junior engineer and don't feel confident you could build a product by yourself (e) you haven't found a problem that excites you enough to feel justified working on.

I also notice a heavy trend in the comments here towards: employees should be rewarded almost as much as founders. I'm sorry, but no. A good founder will likely have spent years researching and understanding the problem space before finally trying to set up a company for it. They may be paying you with their own money. At the very least they had to starve long enough to raise enough money to pay you. They've taken on pain and risk. If you want to get equity comparable to a founder, go work for a pre-seed startup for free. In other words, if you want founder stakes, go be a founder.

Perhaps. I just skimmed for coverage of the events without a care for their social and political stance. The Independent itself is pretty consistently centrist in outlook.
AFAIK it depends on the location.

For example, where it's hot, people are running aircons during the day. Where the weather is cold, you need to run heating, but (1) often that's not electric, and (2) heat stores relatively well (in e.g. hot water tanks). In temperate climate, the uncomfortable power surge happens at ~6pm, when people get home from work and start turning on the light and running home appliances (stove to cook dinner, opening the fridge which must cool, etc).
Let's track the RMA flow (the challenge/response mechanism you've tried out before it refused access because you're not a factory employee doing RMA repairs):

common/rma_auth.c:rma_challenge_response() calls process_response(), which on success calls common/factory_mode.c:enable_ccd_factory_mode()

That one calls factory_enable_deferred(), which resets the system before flushing all TPM data, and only on successfully removing all that proceeds to enable factory mode.

Therefore: gaining access through that venue also removes all secrets established on the system, including the TPM-part of the key used to encrypt the disk (the other part being derived from the account credentials, which isn't stored persistently anywhere).

Such a stupid argument. So you have two factors: X and Y that contribute to bad thing Z. Decreasing X (surveillance technology in this case) will decrease Z, even if Y (oppressive-minded government) remains the same. But his statement is aimed to occlude that obvious fact through sophistry.

My experience of working in startups is that they're populated almost entirely by people who openly mock the idea of 'selling out' by working for a big firm. Maybe that's just the places I've worked (that tend to either be in creative sectors or 'worthy' industries like education).

I'd be curious to see a poll on this though.
> I stuck to ISO 8601 format string for standardizing time.

In my App, I have scalar called ISO8601String, which is a custom scalar representing a date-time. The server outputs the correct serialized value, and clients are expected to deserialize as per the documentation.

It's not automatic though. Every client app has to implement the custom scalar serialize/deserialize logic or else it isn't conforming to the schema that the server declares.

GraphQL isn't a global schema standard, inclusive of implementation details. It's specific to your application's servers/clients.

Someone else is free to have a scalar called ISO8601String, which demands totally different serialization.

Implementing a client/server pretty much requires reading the documentation of the schema. You can make a Map restrict itself to only string keys, but that conformance of that will have to be a custom type implemented by your server to reject noncomforming objects.
With GraphQL you have the flexibility to utilize both REST and RPC patterns, with the added benefit of a type system and ability to choose the fields returned on the client. You can write common CRUD queries/mutations similar to how you would with REST (allUsers/allProjects. If you have a query that you know ahead of time will be inefficient, you can add in a more RPC or dedicated endpoint style query that you can optimize how you see fit on backend (getAllCrazyThings(filters) etc).

For the performance aspect, check out Apollo Engine, which allows you to track the latency and implications of using different fields within your queries and mutations over time:

This assumes, based on the actual evidence, that the set of people who buy cryptocurrencies on credit are more likely to default on them than a set of people with the same credit ratings buying sofas (and that raising APRs to cover these increased losses will have other adverse affects on a credit card company's business).

If people are speculating beyond their means in crypto because they think the line of easy credit gives them a means to make a profit out of it, it's far easier for everyone involved to just cut the line of easy credit for the crypto, because the same person is probably not going to try to make a profit loading up their card with consumer goods or cars or other things the credit card company doesn't mind extending credit for instead.

I really don't understand why you believe it is reasonable or preferable to oblige credit card companies to take losses instead.

GraphQL endpoints are API endpoints. You have to write the resolver yourself, which will do things like query the DB.

GraphQL is just a schema specification like Swagger. It doesn't come with a server or a client. Those are implementation details left up to you, just like in REST.

Hi all!

This is my first time posting something to HN, so please be kind.

I wanted to show what I’ve been working on for the last 6 months:

NoKey, a password manager without a master password.
Instead, you can unlock your passwords by confirming from another device. E.g. if you need a password on your PC, you only have to confirm this on your phone. No need to remember any passwords!

The vast majority of the code is written in Elm and it’s fully open source.

There is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox and an Android app.
The application is only useful with at least two devices, so to really test it out, you’ll have to install it on two devices.
There is no iOS version and the web app doesn’t work on Safari either (it's missing some stuff from the Web Crypto API), sorry!

Any feedback or questions are greatly appreciated!

Don't be a pussy and go through the initial stage ;).

No, seriously, try to go through the initial pain stage, it doesn't last that long. Tell yourself that this is an indication that it's working, because it actually is.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, but this is what I would do. Train 3 times a week on strength. This is enough and gives your muscles enough time to recover. At first you will train your muscles again when they are still sore, but it will go away.

I also had to go through this stage when I started working out. I remember when we went karting with all programmer colleagues. Next day everyone was sore in all kinds of places, except for me :).

There is 1 cool thing about being unfit: the gains you are going to make in strength and fitness are really huge. Keep track of your progress, it's a real motivator.

Apart from the map, it also includes a module, that appears with a default option “Today”, which contain a horizontal list of movies, including different nearby theater name, Movies played, Show timing, rating, and genres. Further, when you click on your favorite movie, a new module “overview” appears with the movie trailer, cast, and rating will appear. Moreover, if you find overview interesting, you can book a ticket in advance.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. The reason we added the sentence because the model used in the competition was also based on DNC. But, changes were made when writing the paper, for instance, we did not use any attention mechanism at the seq-to-seq level in the competition. Besides, the paper concentrates more on comparing the kinds of errors made by the DNC network (avoiding unacceptable mistakes; not the overall accuracy), which shows an improvement over the LSTM model in the paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.00068). On the other hand, overall accuracy was more important for the Kaggle competition.

We modified the sentence to say, "An earlier version of the approach used here has secured the 6th position in the Kaggle Russian Text Normalization Challenge by Google's Text Normalization Research Group".

Maybe yes, maybe no. Maybe the researchers are blackmailing the other subject or holding them against their will.
