My wife and I considered moving to NZ as well; I'm a cloud engineer with 10 years experience (20 total in software/sys admin) in the US, I've worked for startups and enterprises.
NZ won't even acknowledge me because I don't have a silly bachelors degree. Too bad I spent those 4 years getting experience instead of university.

Definitely worth a visit, I'd suggest. It's really a beautiful country.

Well, considering that nearly 2 billion will die in the normal course over the next 30 years, I would suspect it's not as big a deal as you make out.

None of the infrastructure in s low-lying city like Miami is designed to last more than a few decades anyway. Gradually move a bit inland, or elevate foundations, or throw up a levee. Big woop. Not that big of a deal. Pretty much every structure standing -- every road, bridge, airport -- is going to be demolished and replaced within the next century anyway.
Right. But at least a smaller amount of it than what you get with all those air pillows. And without the huge cardboard box, which is probably the biggest problem in the whole package from a carbon footprint perspective.

I spent 8 weeks on a murder trial as a jury member. I have to admit that my fellow jurors exceeded my expectations.

People generally wanted justice to be done. Genuinely assume someone innocent and the prosecutor bearing the burden to prove to otherwise.

Were there people who didn’t quite grasp some of the concepts? Sure, but other jurors quickly reined them in. The judge did a very nice job in explaining the role of the juror and was there to answer any questions.

It really made me feel much better about justice being done with jury trials.

If I'm not completely mistaken, only the DoS ("Anyone can disconnect you") is valid for true scotsman WPA2 (aka WPA2-EAP aka WPA2-Enterprise). "Silly "terms of service" in your cafe can break your applications and expose you to risk" is hardly fault of WPA2; while some sort of side-channel for provider-provided messages would be nice, I think at least the ToS case could be handled by e.g. DHCP option.

Considering Marriott/Hilton/IHG requires their hotels to use a 10 year warrantied mattress that only costs $250-$300 each, I'd say even $800 is too high. Even though that's wholesale price, doubling should be enough to get a single unit price.

You can have foreign investment and affordable housing. Don't blame the whole housing crisis on foreigners -- we created the affordable housing crisis ourselves. Foreign investment makes us better off, not worse off. Maybe your rent goes up $25 because of increased housing demand from foreign buyers, but then your city is now benefiting from tax revenue from these foreigners and providing you with more services that you benefit from -- let's say, for example, they hire more teachers to deliver a higher quality education at the same price for your children. Now these new teachers need to look presentable for their students so now maybe the local hair dresser is getting more business, and so she decides to expand into the neighboring space and hires you to manage construction...

What i'm getting at here is that more value and economic activity in a community flows around and benefits everyone in a lot of ways. It's somewhat ridiculous to say it would be a good thing to watch the price of US assets fall when foreign investment is probably not even in the top 3 reasons for the current housing situation in the US. Even if housing becomes slightly more affordable, you are losing the money you saved out the other end in your stock, 401k, options, and ownership stakes in any private companies.

We're better off allowing foreigners to invest, with certain restrictions of course.
frankly, probably not. Even stormpath closed shop and dropped their api. I probably wouldn't be able to trust a small startup to not do the same..

1. All products are reliant on advertising. full stop. But even then, they are not incentivized to increase the total amount of ads per user, that would be inefficient. They'd prefer better targeted ads over more ads (point 2).

Foreign speculative bubbles can seriously damage markets when they pop, as has happened before with the Japanese at the end of the 80s on the American and Canadian west coasts. The current Chinese driven bubble looks very similar to the Japanese one.

Also, your rent isn’t going up by $25, but $1000. So even if your local gov is raking in more property taxes, you can only benefit from that if you can still afford to live there at all.

No, that's factually wrong. KRACK showed the protocol itself is vulnerable, not the implementations, and it affects all devices.

https://www.krackattacks.com/

This is really why they went with WPA3, but I've noticed the Wi-Fi Alliance goes to great lengths to avoid any mentions of KRACK. So now, many, like you, are scratching their heads wondering what's the point of WPA3.
I'm not optimistic. I believe that the underlying crypto protocol is this:

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4622764/

It's "secure authentication of equals", which is a protocol that kind of looks like it's trying to be a PAKE (Password Authenticated Key Exchange), but the paper does not mention PAKE anywhere in its abstract, and I'm not at all confident that SAE's design or analysis takes into account the properties that PAKE protocols should have.

I think that the original WPA key exchange was supposed to use the SRP protocol, which is a PAKE, but that was dropped due to patent issues. Since then, as I understand it, quite a few very nice PAKE protocols have had their patents expire, so I don't see what the problem is now.

So color me extremely skeptical.
Why are they much more dangerous?
It is and it is (sorta). I worked in the bank industry for many years and I could have stolen money a hundred different ways without getting caught.

The problem is that in the end the money has to go somewhere or be spent (why else steal it?). Also to live a legal life (house,car,boat) you have to have a source of income/spending that does not set off red flags. If you are a high paid bank employee why even bother? Many (most?) financial type crimes have no statue of limitations so to get away you literally have to get away with it for the rest of your life. The other side is even if you get away you will spend the rest of your life wondering if today is the day you get caught. To be honest I think that is why so many white collar crimes are so brazen looking. I think they would rather go to jail for a few years be done with it and live the rest of their lives with the money they have "lost".

Unless you live in a country like Russia where stealing money from the US is basically legal. Then go for it.

Also I hope they have finally included an actual error message for incorrect passwords, rather than just "connection failed" which is the best that seems to be possible at the moment.

A few years ago I was in charge of monitoring a hole in one contest for a golf tournament.

Anyone who got a hole in one was to receive $10,000. All I had to do was hang out in the shade and not get killed from golf balls while watching everyone's attempts.

I asked the tournament official where that 10k comes from, and he said from an insurance agency. They paid $200 insurance. No one ended up getting a hole in one that day.
I've definitely bought a few programming books that, on closer inspection, just appeared to be money-grabs from the author.

But, my biggest memory is the book I didn't buy. I once worked with a programmer who wasn't very good, and then I heard he wrote a book. I typed his name into Amazon, and there was his book. It was all about the half-baked concepts he was trying to put into our failing project. (Ultimately canceled because we couldn't ship a very simple product. We couldn't ship it because everyone just wanted to add code generators and additional layers around a database... Instead of learning how to use a database.)

I'm not sure if this is a complete "scam." I think it mostly works out as similar to the costs of typical hotels.

- I would assume the timeshare companies often have more supply of rooms than they have paying "owners." For example certain destinations are only desirable during part of the year when the weather is favorable. So they may not be making this full amount in the math above.

- They have regular expenses beyond the room maintenance itself: overall building maintenance, resort amenities, staffing, utilities, cable/tv, etc.

- For comparison: a simple $150 hotel room for example would be $150 x 365 = $54,750. Similar to the timeshare, this one may not be 100% booked, though I don't know what booking/ownership rates are for timeshares vs. hotel rooms. In any case many timeshare units may have one or multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, a living area, etc. whereas the $150 hotel room is probably just a sleeping area. So you are likely getting "more space" with the timeshare.

Admittedly, many timeshares are scams, I won't deny that. But the evidence you provided for this one is not completely indicative of that. It still may not be a "good deal" based on how you prefer to travel, and if it's not certainly don't partake in it.

To me spending $100 x 12 = $1200 per year for your housing on vacation is not completely unreasonable compared to $150 x 7 = $1050, considering the extra amenities and opportunity to save money by cooking in the unit. It doesn't make the timeshare a "steal of a deal" (like some of the presentations make it out to be) but rather more of a "prepaid vacation" which may make sense in some situations. It seems like a "legitimate business" in this case to me, assuming the up-front costs to buy in are not too crazy. Country Clubs have been using a similar structure of "buying in" + recurring fees since before the timeshare industry even existed, and presumably these country clubs are legitimate businesses as well. There are good and bad players in the timeshare industry, like is the case in so many other industries as well.

My parents are Worldmark owners, so I've done some analysis on that one in particular. There is a decent amount of flexibility (destination) and the units have seemed pretty well-equipped. In the math I've done it seems to work out to not necessarily make your vacation "cheaper" but it doesn't make it "more expensive" either. They like it because they get more space and a kitchen to cook some of their own meals, and they use it as encouragement to take vacations to destinations they otherwise would not have thought about (and have very much enjoyed).

The timeshare company in the article though is clearly a major scam though! I trust that most people on HN can take a look at the math to weigh what may be a good deal for their personal situation.
The issues with the different cans, is that they need to be re-sorted manually anyway (usually by the city), since not everyone puts the right stuff in the right bins. All it does is it just gives the impression that the business is 'green'

Yes, I’m quite sure that with the time remote teams will become a common type of employment within software industry and blockchain in particular. Today many companies such as Zapier, Trello, InVision and many others manage distributed teams and they prove that although remote work has some disadvantages, it offers way more opportunities, e.g. an access to a wide talent pool. I believe the same goes for blockchain companies.
Honestly, I see this as part of an _accelerating_ trend. I don't think it's going to change, and is only going to become more pronounced.
