I agree, it's freaky how quickly the opposition organized, and with the similar overtones you noted. Another user linked a better source that mentions the opposition paying a group called "Morning in America" (that's a Reagan catchphrase, for the kids here): https://thecisforcrank.com/2018/06/12/todays-head-tax-defeat...

Like in SF, there's a lot of lukewarm liberalism in Seattle, and when the rubber meets the road you can see the conservatism.
Government regulations. The SEC defines an accredited investor as a millionaire, or someone with income > $200k. Millionaires have access to investment opportunities like this that are illegal to offer to non-millionaires. The logic is that millionaires are less likely to go broke because of a bad investment, but it does have a "rich get richer" effect.
Company internal stuff generally isn't facing as hostile an environment as HTTPS.

The famous "Alice and Bob After Dinner Speech" mentions

"Now most people in Alice's position would give up. Not Alice. She has courage which can only be described as awesome. Against all odds, over a noisy telephone line, tapped by the tax authorities and the secret police, Alice will happily attempt, with someone she doesn't trust, whom she cannot hear clearly, and who is probably someone else, to fiddle her tax returns and to organize a coup d'etat, while at the same time minimizing the cost of the phone call.

A coding theorist is someone who doesn't think Alice is crazy."

HTTPS is like Alice. In cryptography a theoretical attacker is often given seemingly outrageous abilities, like they can send you huge numbers of arbitrary messages to see what happens, they can time everything, they can see messages you were sending and try sending other messages that are just a tiny bit different, they can collect your messages and re-send them later, and so on. In many systems a real attacker would struggle to pull these things off, but in HTTPS thanks to things like cookies and Javascript it's actually not difficult at all.

Your internal stuff almost certainly doesn't have arbitrary clients running code from arbitrary other participants like the Web does. It also almost certainly doesn't have a dedicated reliability team who can go change everything every six weeks to keep up. If you do such changes every six weeks for a few months, then get bored and stop, the last set rust shut and you've gained nothing. Google is essentially promising their teams would undertake to carry on indefinitely.

Google essentially proposes an artificial Red Queen's Race, with the goal being to tire out middlebox vendors and/or their customers and have them choose to exit the race.

Ah, I agree with what you said. My question was about how closely it tracks an index but the underlying value of the bonds it holds. The article raises the possibility that illiquidity could cause the price of the ETF diverge from the bonds it holds.

> If your $1M home can be turned into a 10-flat building at $300K each, wouldn't real-estate developers buy your home (even at a premium) to destroy it and rebuild on it ?

Let this happen ten times and you have 100 new units on the market. Since nobody moves to a city to live in a particular building (i.e. housing demand, locally, is relatively independent of housing supply, at least in the short run) this will drive the apartments' prices down. That, in turn, will exert downward pressure on the price of the single-family homes.
Is this not basically what the DNS root signing ceremony is?
That's great news.
I've been using AWS EB (also great) but love datastore and making calls across to Datastore on GAE. Now maybe I can just put Node on GAE.

But damn those free AWS credits !!!

Edit: just saw that OS has the right dependencies for running headless Chrome / puppeteer. This is huge. Because GAE Standard was always quite sandboxed.
> One solution is processes

More expensive to start than threads, and far more expensive and complex and restrictive to move data around. Sounds like with the exception of some specific corner cases, threads are a better solution.

> Another solution is break up the work and processing in increments

Either the tasks aee broken into ridiculously fine-grained bits that are hard to make sense or keep track,or you still get a blocking UI. Furthermore, the solution is computationally more expensive.

I guess I'm missing what it is to disagree with. Are you arguing that people with good ideas should simply be entitled to the capital to pull them off, to avoid the need to compete in capital markets?
We frequently get questions from potential customers why they should choose our library instead of D3 and where are the differences. After all, D3 can display and layout graphs just as well. Yes, D3 can do pretty much everything, but more by virtue of JavaScript being able to do pretty much everything and having to do everything yourself. By itself it's not that much more than a convenient way of defining patterns how to turn data into DOM objects.

Adding interactivity is then a matter of adding event handlers to those, but certain common use cases, say, moving the viewport, moving nodes, and drawing edges, can be tricky to get right for every edge (pun not intended) case and it can be easier to just use something ready-made.
Office 365 is being completely rewritten in JavaScript
I agree that it's insane to expect Amazon to behave differently than what's expected of a contemporary American corporation™ (aka: pure profit extraction, no consideration for local social conditions or the greater social contract.)

But rather than accepting Amazon's mundane corporate naughtiness, we should be vigilant and outspoken about it. The corporate norms we have now in North America are not etched in stone; we can inveigh against shitty behaviour while also doing what you suggest: electing better politicians and pursuing fairer tax policy.
I also don't think he's a bad writer or that his Russian is quite that strange (in Archipelago, specifically) but I'd be remiss not to mention his literary style has been had its share of critics, with Vladimir Voinovich putting in what is perhaps the top effort in the genre.

Ask HN: What are some well paying part-time jobs for cash-strapped founders
I'm a developer with some product management experience, and am looking to quit my job and work on my own project/startup. I would need a source of income to keep me afloat, and was wondering what would be some decently well paying part time jobs that you guys are aware of.
I would say taking 1/10th or 1/100th of resource is a pretty damn big advantage even if that's just one advantage. Modern browsers are probably the most inefficient mainstream computer technology ever regardless of how useful it might have been.
It depends what you are looking for. I have the hardest time searching for laptops that meet all of the specs I want, for instance.

Takes days.

Minimum screen brightness. 1440p touch. Needs USB-A. 8th gen quad core. 20+ watt TDP. etc. Not too thin, not too thick. decent graphics.
I'm not saying avoid fruit. If you like it then eat it in moderation. Remember plants make fruit because they want you to eat it. But you can do just fine with vegetables (in the culinary sense, so including tomatoes etc).
I think Google has pretty much monopolized search. You could say it's solved. I doubt if there are any complaints that sound like 'i couldn't find something using Google'
I wouldn't be surprised that vendors will still have to do the fixes to Python 2 for many years past that date, and that a kind of "fork" will keep the 2.7 branch decently alive much longer. It's just the current "official" maintainers that announce the cutoff date for their work.
It was, but they certainly imaguned that they could influence a mega corporation who is not responsible for the problem

Sometimes I wonder about the longer-term future of infiniband. Originally it was a multi vendor standard, but nowadays it's a one-shop show. Squeezed from above by high end networks supporting things like adaptive non-minimal routing, and from below by ethernet (roce etc.) And squeezed from the side by Intel with their deep pockets.

And apparently mlnx is pressured by some activist investors to reduce R&D expenses and pay more dividends instead.

The latter name is just nonsensical -- EPA is northwest of PA and in a different county altogether.

When the Four Seasons opened in EPA, they initially gave the address as just "Palo Alto" but with the proper EPA Zip code, knowing that the USPS would still deliver the same. Media later called them on it.
Lucene/Solr, Elastic Search and Algolia did a great job creating search tools and services and this extinguished the thirst of the masses. I don't think it's a solved problem, it's just a problem that has commercially viable solutions.
When it comes to resources, I've found valuable knowledge in Lucene/Solr forums and mailing lists, back in the day. It's worth a read.
I'm not sure Rust is an especially great language for interop purposes or that the productivity will be high enough to keep up with the JavaScript implementation.

If you want to make a library with a C compatible API I'd be tempted to explore SubstrateVM. It can export C symbols to the generated standalone .so / .dll files, maybe you can even reuse some of the JS code, or failing that, a Java/Kotlin implementation would be compiled down to native code or be usable from other scripting languages like Ruby.
Ask HN: Would you like to join a Instagram alternative?
It was clearly a miscalculation, but it's important to note that public opinion was in favor of the original, steeper head tax only a couple months ago [1]. I think proponents were all caught off guard by how quickly public opinion turned and by how much money businesses were willing to spend to fight what amounted to a pretty minor tax.

I think this issue resides with the OEM's not providing information. Search or indexing cannot solve this problem.

App stores should be abandoned, web app is the only thing you can 100% control.

If you can't publish critical update for your app in minutes, just because you use phone vendor's store, then that store is a huge priblem.

If store can just uninstall your app in any moment (without user's request) - it is a huge problem.

Everyone says Amazon, Amazon, Amazon but the head tax also would have affected every business doing $20mm/year like grocery, drug stores and even gasp Starbucks! Places where employees are definitely not making six figures on average.

Plus government spending here like many other cities is not well managed. See bike lanes. See the fact that they fired Wells Fargo and then re-hired Wells Fargo because no one else would take their business.

Homelessness is a real problem, but there needs to be more dialogue and better planning before rushing in and taxing growth.

Probably a better idea to look at how the tax system is setup here to favor the wealthy versus low income.

Coinbase is actually considering ETC enclusion is also a big news
Yes, which is why I really like the idea of proactive enforcement with random expected-to-be-ignored tags/parameters. I'm arguing against the idea that leaving out the last part of this

for (item = params->head; item; item = item->next) {
switch (item->type) {
case KNOWN_PARAM_TYPE_FOO:
// do normal stuff
break;

/* ... etc ... */

IGNORE_KNOWN_PARAM_TYPE_BAR:
// fallthrough - BAR explicitly uses default handling
default:
continue; // skip unknown parameters
}
}

is evidence of incompetence, not a strategy that will "make more profit than your competitor".

Also, as the BAR constant suggests, you probably already have code that skips unrelated fields. While the difference in programmer time is almost always trivially small, sometimes it might be zero.
I don't see 'search,' aka information retrieval (IR), as a solved problem. I went to the last SIG IR conference in Tokyo, and yes, the heavy hitters in the field were there to promote and present their latest research. It is no doubt a very active research field using machine learning techniques. Reading the papers published could give a view of the (academic) state of the art.

Whether it is a good business strategy to challenge Google head-on is another question. Whether there is a sure way to learn and engineer said systems on extremely large scales is another question.
With a slightly different split, this is already true.
I hadn't heard of Red Queen's Race before, and your use of it in a somewhat novel way was awesome. That was 15 minutes well wasted.
Came here to say the same thing. I already have moved a project over to GitLab so it feels like the same thing (but open source, and I can self host). But if the above was hosted on Gitlab people would see it has the same features (and private repos and free DevOps integration on a shared server).
It means you'll need dedicated UI devs rather than have your backend/fullstack devs rotate into front-end roles, as Agile postulates.
Your analogy sucks. But I am not here to increase your intellectual capabilities. And I do not think that is possible.

The Albanians are native in that region whereas you are the newcomers. So, if you think a little bit more (which I highly doubt you can) you will understand why your analogy is just nonsense.

The Albanians are Albanians and they will remain Albanians. They are of course citizens of Macedonia, a joke sate which does not even have an acceptable name, but they are Albanians.

You want examples?
Boban Ilic killed a 4-year old Albanian. I am not talking about other incidents, but killing with your car a 4-year old is just an act of a coward criminal/animal. And most of the Macedonians/Bulgarians supported him. Moreover, he is free to go.

Everybody says that. Especially when they aren't doing so good at profit.
A slightly more optimistic take is that it's legal to offer this investment opportunity to non-millionaires. You have two choices:

1) Don't solicit publicly (i.e. don't make a business out of convincing non-affiliated retail investors to invest in Bitcoin; you can still band along with friends, family, and fools in a non-scalable fashion)

2) Do solicit publicly, but go through the disclosures-and-compliance process that society has decided should gate scalable access to retail investors' life savings

The cryptocurrency economy is largely unwilling to do #2, which is onerous, expensive, and (ahem) exceedingly difficult to get through if you have produced nothing of economic substance.
Why should you not be paid a decent income to clean toilets?
Sure, Jeff Bezos isn't walking around the streets of Seattle stealing people's chequebooks and ratting to their bosses so they can't make rent. But he and Amazon are exacerbating INSANE wealth inequality in Seattle. Amazon is the seat of economic power in the city, and its employees are the ones bidding up property prices. It's great that Bezos is giving high-paying jobs to thousands of people, but those same people (following the "bro logic" you espouse) are bidding up property prices, and then lobbying for NIMBY policies that reduce housing supply—which DEFINITELY drive up rents and force people out of their homes and onto the streets.

If you're an affluent techie in Seattle it's easy to say "not my problem bro", work your great job, buy your expensive house, lobby your local councilman to curb new developments and head taxes, watch your property value rise and your chequing account blossom. But there are swathes of other people for whom affluent tech jobs aren't desirable or possible, and there's no need for those people to be priced out of Seattle. Building homes isn't hard.

Is something like this not available in the US/other territories? If not: here is your opportunity :-D
To break into this space, I would recommend starting with a subset that people want to search. Like the facebook model of only being available for some colleges.

Some ideas:

- Only academic papers

- Only news sources

- Only hacker topics

- Only financial topics

- Only small bloggers

- Only literal keyword search which Google discontinued

Get traction in that domain, then build out from there.
Not really, no. Some parts of search (Internet) have been cornered/solved by big players (e.g. Google), but many other parts (e.g. search in Intranets) are still an open problem. No one has found a solution that's as simple as PageRank for Intranets. No one has found a solution for the "the author of half of these documents is the intern who wrote the template"-problem and many other things. There are good products out there, but a "Google for Non-Internet" is still far away.

p.s.: All the bad searches on the various products I use or the websites of some companies make me almost want to get back into search. Because even for things that ARE solved in the technical sense there seems to be no "out of the box" solution or people would use it.

edit: To expand a bit - all the search solutions I've seen which weren't for Internet search were more or less bespoke, so you needed a project to get something decent. Sure, you can install a plain Lucene/Solr, but Lucene/Solr cannot understand the way your data works, which parts are important or if you want to show results which are older further down (or not!). They have decent defaults for the "common case", but you have to tune them for every customer/installation for good results and that makes it non-scalable. And being scalable without effort is usually one of the requirements people have for something to be "solved".

> (Real, meaning subtracting inflation) productivity improvements stopped in 1980, and have been going downhill ever so slightly since.

What are you basing this on? There are currently more cars than ever, more people traveling than ever, more women joined the workforce, huge improvements on communication levels (non-internet, non-mobile communication to mobile phones with 4G).

No improvements since 1980, seriously? I grew up in the 80's and 90's. If I see what we have and what we can do today (such as cheap travel), seriously? I would love to see the face of any person living today and traveling back 30 years to 'improve their lifestyle'... hahaha.

And the 'frankly, it is very, very bad for everywhere except the US where it is merely dismal' gives me a clear indication that you never left your home country, which is pretty clear which one that is.
