People need to do more research when they think about taking on these gig economy jobs full time. The first couple gigs you accept, you should log all your hours, even the hours you were on standby between gigs.

You need to know what your cost of living is including rent, food, insurance, taxes, etc. It should include all of your life goals like possible homeownership or a family as well as a decent amount toward retirement.

Then you need to know what your income and expenses (like vehicle maintenance, etc.) are projected to be and ensure that they meet your cost of living needs. If they don't meet this, then that path is not one you can accept.

And if everyone did their research, they wouldn't accept it either at current rates. You almost need a business plan since you are a contractor of unskilled labor.

2016 voter turnout amongst millennials was 49% versus 61% for the population [1]. It's not surprising that old-guard industries are being subsidized and Social Security and Medicare expanded while education subsidies and entry-level public sector job openings fall.

"The Kochs’ opposition to transit spending stems from their longstanding free-market, libertarian philosophy. It also dovetails with their financial interests, which benefit from automobiles and highways.

One of the mainstay companies of Koch Industries, the Kochs’ conglomerate, is a major producer of gasoline and asphalt, and also makes seatbelts, tires and other automotive parts. Even as Americans for Prosperity opposes public investment in transit, it supports spending tax money on highways and roads."

I kind of don't disagree with them. Because big public transmit projects are so incredibly expensive in the U.S., the cost-benefit analysis is totally skewed, and the result is quite regressive. Take the Silver Line in D.C., for example. Nearly $7 billion of public money spent to ease the commutes of people in some of the richest suburbs in the country. If you put that money into a fund, you could pay every impoverished kid in the entire state $1,000 per year in perpetuity.

Our insane housing restrictions compound the problem. Especially on the Virginia side, you have to pay a lot of money to live within walking distance of a Metro station. So money spent on the Metro tends to go to benefiting people who are already very well off.

(And in Nashville, the transit will be paid for with a sales tax increase, which is a very regressive tax.)

It is also almost always the law that drivers must take any reasonable actions possible to avoid an accident even if someone else broke the law in a way that makes an accident more likely. So even if the pedestrian did fail to yield right-of-way, the driver is still required to stop to prevent an accident if they are able to.

I think email being slower is kind of a benefit. The synchronous nature of slack just isn't really needed 99% of the time, at least at my job.

> That's not to say there aren't collusions and conspiracies and bad doings by people with power, there most certainly are, but the fact these succeed are problems of a system

You are describing a "cabal intent on keeping the little people down". The cabal works by taking steps to perpetuate systemic inequality forward.

The people involved are extremely well positioned and connected, have ridiculous amounts of material resources to call upon, and are extremely highly incentivized to keep these systemic flaws around. Thus, there is no reason to believe that systemic updates will inevitably happen.
Not only that, "period" is the American English word for the very same punctuation mark the other side of the English speaking world calls a "full stop".
I would assume there are lots of expats living and working in China.
It's mostly political. The conservatives argue no regulation of any kind is needed because the industry will self-regulate and capture all the leaking methane because it's lost money.

(Mysteriously, the methane continues to leak, and oil & gas continues to lobby against requirements to fix the leak)

As a secondary improvement, cheaper monitoring equipment might make the political fight easier to win.

Another improvement, the gas is owned by the public, and I don't believe royalties are paid at the pad but rather further down the line- after the leaks. O&G has little incentive to avoid wasting resources that "belong" to someone else that they have not paid a dime for. Just pump more.
You're comparing apples and tigers.

Intel's work is focused on the lower layers of the graphics stack, and removing the inefficiencies of older (X11 for example) architectures.

Servo is for rendering HTML, that is, taking HTML markup, and displaying the paragraphs, tables and whatnot graphically. So it is operating at a higher level.
Funny, and beneath the joke lies a nice nugget of truth: the landscape of hardware design languages is a truly sad thing to behold and deeply hinders innovation in the space.

There are numerous attempts at fixing the problem, but all of them ring hollow as the big ASIC design shops basically are all relying on ancient languages.

Another thing that IMO has dealt a grave blow to the whole scene is a cultural one: people in the hardware business still haven't understood and digested the lessons of open source and sharing. The whole industry still operates on notions of "industrial secrets" and spends tremendous amounts of energy trying to hide how what they build works.

I mean if you need a example of how bad it still is, the dominant word still used to describe a chunk of functionality in that world is "IP".

Who in their right mind in the software industry would call a piece of code they wrote "intellectual property", as in "just download my IP and use it in your project" ?
That's a very honest answer and is also one that argues against such a system. I also wonder if you feel the same way about a true BI of maybe $10K per year plus the equivalent of Medicaid (very limited doctor network) in the US.

The key is that forgiveness is primarily about (and, arguably, for the benefit of) the emotional state of the one granting the forgiveness.

It can be granted independent of any feelings of guilt (which are impossible to know for sure) on the part of the recipient.

Similarly, someone else's happiness about my birthday is irrelevant to me if I don't care about that someone, no matter how genuine that happiness is.

There is a big difference between partisan and ideological. In fact, I've come to see them almost as opposites over the last couple years: people who are ideologically Republican-circa-2015 have largely found themselves without a party in 2018, while most people who were Republican partisans in 2015 remain staunchly so today, just with a different ideology. In this way, it seems easier to be partisan if you aren't very ideological. (I believe there are also people who are neither.)

I would agree that Justice Gorsuch is ideological, but he does not seem particularly partisan.

I think part of the reason is that more and more of our identity is tied to ourselves. In the past, identity was a function of your parents, your birth place, your nationality, etc. Now this is no longer the case. The advantage is much greater freedom and mobility. The disadvantage is that you have to be more involved in defining your identity.

Sometime computer technician here. I've replaced a few keyboards on some of the earlier affected models. This is tedious, time-consuming repair with a lot of small screws.

Here's a photo of the screws with a grain of uncooked rice for scale: https://imgur.com/gallery/En32MFP (image safe for work)

For most of my repairs, it worked out more cost-effective to purchase a new MacBook top with keyboard attached, and just transfer the logic board, than spend time unscrewing, fitting the keyboard and refitting the masses of tiny screws.

On labour/consultancy alone, I suspect this will be an expensive per-case recall.

It's more than a bit hyperbolic to compare our current economic setup with that of medieval serfdom. The difference in economic mobility is extreme.

Yes, we have some issues we need to sort out - NIMBYs and zoning laws tamping down on new housing supply in cities, and a broken healthcare market are the largest ones. But it's dangerous to forget that the system we have is overall overwhelmingly better for most people than what came before the 1900s, let alone before the 1400s.
> I can't imagine a more grim scenario than whole populations being entirely reliant on government money.

Your imagination is lacking.

We aren't there yet, but something like basic income is an inevitable necessity if automation really takes off.

In the past, automation created more jobs that it destroyed. Horse whip and buggy manufacturers went out of business because of the automobile, but the automobile created tremendous opportunity, for example.

But we are closely approaching the point where additional automation destroys more jobs than it creates, if we aren't there already. There's a McDonalds near my house that has replaced a large number of their workers with computer screens. I really don't think there's anywhere else for those former employees to go, and I don't think touch screens at McDonalds is going to have the kind of civilization-expanding power as the internal combustion engine.

I know it's a bit cliche to ask what we will do when the robots take our jobs, but ... what we will do when the robots take our jobs. There are a lot of people whose only skills can be trivially mechanized. How are we going to take care of them? And are we going to take care of them before their misery sparks some kind of a culture-wide uprising?

I can absolutely understand, if we aren't capable of producing anything of value, forcing us to work doesn't do any good for society beyond putting every working age person in a skinner box.

My issue is more that I'd be putting a lot of trust in the government to provide for me for (avg lifespan - X) years of being a net drain on the system.

Ultimately, I don't think it's a choice I'll get to make though. Taking it to the cynical conclusion, I'd be better off with living a few years of living off BI before the government killbots come compared to working those same years and then getting killbotted.

It doesn't but other nations such as Japan have a much older shifted demographic and their costs are much better managed. All other first world nations have better cost and overall performance outcomes in their healthcare than the US.

None of them allow private companies to dictate drug and procedure prices.

But packing up and moving doesn't boil down to will, cards are stacked against you when you live in a rural area with few opportunities (same is true for high crime neighborhoods in cities).

It took me years to escape and it boiled down to getting lucky that I knew someone who left for a medium-sized city and was able to hitch a ride as a temporary roommate, got started waiting tables and taught myself programming at night/on weekends.

It's incredibly difficuly to move to a city: unless you are something amazing, employers want local candidates. Landlords want you to have a job before giving you a lease. It's an awful chicken/egg problem that is insurmountable to most.

Ask HN: Selling HTML and CSS themes: unrealistic?
Do you think there's a market still for straight HTML/CSS themes (i.e. not Wordpress or Bootstrap templates)?

Or is the market so saturated that no-one would seriously consider purchasing a template since there is so much free stuff and it's so easy to simply copy a site's HTML and CSS?

I'm guessing any theme that is slightly popular can expect to see copycat themes pretty quickly.

Yeah, certainly, especially in places like Shekou. It just doesn't seem possible to fully assimilate, you will always be a laowai.
Process automation (a field I've been involved in for around 20 years) is vastly easier because the environment doesn't change by much. You can pretty much say "move this thing over here, verify that you moved it over there, add this chemical, and mix, verify that the chemical was added and then mixed" and be pretty confident that it will work in all likely scenarios.

Self-driving cars, OTOH, have to work with nice smooth roads, or potholed monstrosities, or ice & snow, deer jumping out right in front of the car, or idiots tailgating you at 70 mph while you're trying to maintain distance from the car in front of you. Their environment is always changing, and not generally in a predictable fashion.

I've been putting off buying a new laptop over concerns about the keyboard and overall fragileness. I was debating ditching Mac for the first time in like 15years. This makes me more likely to choose Mac since they are admitting it's a problem and they'll fix it out of warranty without question.

My big concern was getting the extended warranty and then having it break just outside the warranty period leaving me stuck with a big repair bill.

Personally I still think they should make a 32Gig Memory MacBook Pro, that's built like a tank, maybe it weighs 5+ pounds, who cares, people who want a light fragile comp can just get the non-Pro model.

I think it's after developing and running a few real world large systems over the course of years. I was an extremely technical "junior" engineer, and I often knew things that "senior" engineers didn't, but there really is no substitute for real world experience over time.
