Sure it is. "Son, pay attention please."

Kids are capable of much more than we give them credit for. Often people "can't" pay attention because they don't want to. Obvious exceptions apply (mental handicap, fatigue, etc).
Oops. My bad. I accidentally got that wrong. Mozilla's goal here is speech recognition.
For real. I got a strong whiff that the author had little to no familiarity with Sierra or Dynamix and the cult adoration their games and creators had.
My take is very different from the Wired article: I think Option Impact is a great resource. Anytime an early stage founder asks me about salary/equity comps, I tell them to check out OI.

If a hiring manager wants to use this data to gouge employees then that's a problem with their ethics, not OI. The place where OI is incredibly useful is for making fair offers, especially for roles you're unfamiliar with. Maybe your company has 6 engineers and you're about to hire your first PM. What should you offer them? A market salary would be $X. You are not trying to figure out X so that you can make a lowball offer; you're trying to figure out X so that you don't offer 1.5X (which hurts your capacity to make future hires) or 0.5X (which might come off as stupid or insulting to the candidate). OI tells you what X is.

Data transparency is a good thing. It helps people avoid dumb mistakes. To be honest, I think it would be great if employees could have access to this data, too.
I agree except for the idea that hardware and software being locked somehow prevents creative activities.

If you want to do programming, you can do a huge amount just using browser APIs (and that is kind of nice because it is very easy to share what you do by sending people a link). You can do graphics (canvas, svg, webgl), audio, and so many other things.

But to use a computer creatively you don't have to be a programmer. You can use paint programs, 3d modeling programs, music programs such as DAWs, word processors/text editors for writing, and a huge number of other kinds of software that allow non-passive, creative activities.

The problem, as I see it, is that so many passive things are available too, and many are very attractive to kids.
VC is for investors. That’s who it’s good for. It’s terrible for founders, employees, and society. The people who benefit most from “startups” are VCs. Keep that in mind.
The US used to run rampant over other's intellectual property in the 1800's. As far as I know, that didn't involve much industrial espionage. China is exploiting its sovereignty to enable industrial espionage over computer networks without consequences. The strategic solution is to raise the cost of this activity. Maybe one of the best things Microsoft could do, would be to implement a suite of future products providing 1) iron clad application sandboxing 2) all executable content requiring digital signature. Follow this up with aggressive use of honeypots and poison pills.
Ask HN: Are 'Breaking News' notifications always breaking news?
Really? From my read of the article it seemed like most of the staff at Blizzard was incredibly immature and the kind of folks that bury their heads in the sand while ignoring reality.

And just to double down on my unpopular opinion, Diablo 1 was the best game in the franchise.
The third scenario seems 40% until you realize that 2 million Model 3s per year @ average price of 45K are being sold.

I am not a car market place expert, $45K cars do not usually move in those numbers.

edit:
For reference, check the number of cars moved.

It reminds me of the 90s when we has a constant stream of articles about people talking on cell phones in restaurants. Cell phones were a crisis that could destroy the restaurant industry. If we don’t ban them nobody will go out to dinner any more because who wants to eat dinner with everyone shouting around you?

Turned out to not be a problem.

People complain about dockless bikes and scooters on sidewalks. But its not like anyone is inconvenienced by them. You’ll get used to seeing them eventually.
> I just looked that up and have assumed it was normal for most of my life.

Everyone gets this. Visual artifacts are a fact of human vision.

If effects like walls breathing, significant visual snow, people's faces shifting/morphing and a skewed perception of proportions are interfering with your daily life, that's more than what we commonly experience. Abusing psychedelics (especially certain ones) can bring about this type of experience after they've left your system.
Could this (maybe only slightly) push out how long before quantum computers pass traditional?
Well, that is now beginning to look like a theme... It worked when I wrote it, but maybe one of the updates has changed something. I'll have a quick peek next week.

Thank you for trying it, at least ;)
I find 120 fine at work, I think 100 would be about as low as I’d go. Under that decreases readability (for me)
I wonder if we could apply this kind of reasoning to the shift of economic and cultural power in the US from the Northeast to the West and South? While not engaging in military expansion and classic totalitarianism, much of the intelligentsia of the West seems to be down with cultural, media, and corporate authoritarian tactics.
Ask HN: Will Trump cause a pause between Europe and America
I know we have all been friends since a long time. But recent developments concern me greatly.

I ( as Belgian), have always had a lot of laughs and talks with other Americans. But i'm increasingly concerned that the relationship between our continents won't hold for long ( i pay attention to the media).

Any comments? ( Will probably get deleted by HN themselves, but i'm still willing to try to get some feedback about people's thoughts and opinions)
I think James Charles Napier said it best. When addressing the practice of sati (burning the wife to death on her husband’s funeral pyre), he responded to accusations of disrespecting local customs thusly:

> "Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs."

An implicit premise in moral relativism is that part of our morality should be respecting other moral systems. As soon as you notice that, it becomes clear that we must use something other than relativism to base our morals on.

But answering this specific case does not require a complete theory of morality. Killing children is bad. End of moral analysis.

Unfortunately that's not the only blunder in that sentence. Are we talking "on average" or are we talking "at full capacity?"

Not to mention the stylistic blunder by which a mathematical average, or a bunch of energy (or hey possibly even a turbine), is said to be "working at full capacity." I guess this is a dangling clause? Not sure if that's the right term for it.

Shave off all the fur and you're left with a pretty good sentence:

The turbine will produce about three megawatts of energy on average, which is enough to power 2,400 U.S. homes. (Assuming that figure is right.)

It's shorter too.
Don't spank your kids. It has no benefit, and many negative effects.
That too would work.
For top paying companies (goog/fb/netflix/uber...), here are the total compensation ranges i derived from various Blind threads:

3. (entry level) software engineer : $175k-$225k

4. (experienced or phd) software engineer : $225k-$300k

5. senior software engineer: $300k-$400k

6. staff software engineer/engineering manager: $400k-$550k

7. senior staff software engineer/senior engineering manager: $550k-$750k

8. principal engineer/engineering director: $750k - $1m

As a data point, my own comp. is above the corresponding range here due to stock appreciation.
I would say the two greatest factors are an increased supply of low skilled labor globally, and the rise of the computer. First world labor competes on productivity to make up for the cost differential of third world labor which wasn't competing in the global marketplace prior to the 70's. Firms "chase the cheapest needle" and as economies develop wages increase for the local population. As wealth accumulates in these countries they transition into innovation based economies and the cycle continues until no more cheap labor in politically stable countries can be found. At that point wages begin to increase along with productivity.

A lot of people forget several billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty over the past 45 years. These people compete against you in the global marketplace and affect the prices we pay for goods and services.
Vanguard states that hft activities have lowered their trading costs, so I don't think this claim is necesarily true.
Nihilism is not at all aligned with Buddhism. This is a common misperception due to a misunderstanding of so-called emptiness practice. The point of emptiness teachings (that nothing has inherent meaning in and of itself) isn’t that everything is meaningless and we should all stop caring. I won’t argue about the pros and cons of nihilism - if it’s working for you, great, but please don’t spread misconceptions about Buddhism in order to justify or support these views.
How does this compare to `rclone`?
"YC, but for bootstrappers" is an oxymoron. You need the high growth to support the YC staff and other assets because not all the businesses will succeed.

A support program for bootstrappers would look different. Getting $120k "to bootstrap" is also an oxymoron. Bootstrapping means earning the money as you go so you don't need to take investment money.

I am all for the idea of developing more support systems for bootstrappers and small projects that have no goal of growing big. But it would inherently need to take a different format from the YC model.

Or is it that when wages rise and inflation kicks in, the Fed raises rates to "cool off" the economy, and then the recession comes?
It's not the trim and details. It's the experience. Luxury car dashboard software lacks intelligence.

But I spent less than an hour with it. And am generally more of a Subaru Outback or Ford F150 person, though I still appreciate fine German engineering. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it just felt lighter than the MB 4-door sedans I have driven in the past. Despite the EV battery and distribution ;)
Great, much needed article.

I wouldn’t use Mark Zuckerberg as an example of someone you “got right” though. Whether his creation has been a net gain for society as a whole is highly debatable, which I think should disqualify him as an entrepreneurial success story.
Made me think of this qoute:

" I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

I don't know if this is true, but higher liquidity and lower spreads reduces the cost of every trade, which is money in the pockets of retail and value investors. I assume this is why Vanguard says HFT has been helpful for them (despite the fact that they don't do HFT themselves).

Is China catching up? Last time I checked, TSMC was still a few nodes ahead of any Chinese fab.
As mchannon comments, concrete does not absorb a significant amount of CO2 as it cures. I was mistaken. The calcium in lime forms silicates.

However, it remains true that half of the life cycle emissions of concrete come from fossil combustion. Replacing fossil combustion with other energy sources can cut concrete's CO2 footprint in half without any major changes in concrete's composition or use.
Why did Canada's wages stop growing at the same time, even though unions continued to strengthen until the mid-1980s, when it peaked at nearly 40% of the workforce?
Both are legally binding and they could have both a verbal agreement and have that reflected in the terms, but there sentence structure is odd.
This technology will also be excellent for games. Right now, the server has to decide how it's going to break ties, and that results in confusing moments. For example, Overwatch favors the shooter, so you might see someone in a position to shoot you, use a defensive ability, and die even though you used it, because the server decides that if two events are close in time, the shooter wins. With a trusted time reference, you can actually order events from the perspective of the client instead of the server; so if you actually used that defensive ability before the shooter clicked the mouse, you don't die.

I actually think NTP might be good enough for this (despite what people say their reaction times are, milliseconds don't actually matter), but I guess game developers don't think of games as globally-distributed transaction processing systems (which is what they are, just a lot more write conflicts to resolve than your average database), and haven't experimented with ideas that are still only a few years old in that field. (The game industry also doesn't reward experimentation. If you're Google and you try to replace Bigtable with Spanner and it fails, it doesn't matter, you just keep using Bigtable. If you're a game company and your netcode is janky, you launch late, a competitor releases a similar game before you, and all the money you spent on development is gone.)

With games there is always the trust issue; can someone write a client that lies about the time they took an action? The answer is yes. But if we have technology that relies on similar client trust working in high-frequency trading, it should be safe enough for games. The stakes are a lot lower in a computer game than the financial markets. So I think good things are on their way.
Manning rule dictates that retail orders held by a market maker must be filled before any other orders (or equally that fills must be given to the retail order), brokers don't look kindly on firms that reject customer orders with any regularity, and anyways retail flow on a volatile+wide spread symbol are loved by market makers.
Not to mention his mental state and admitted drug abuse.

Cocaine may be a hell of a drug but not sure it really helps in the boardroom.
Wikipedia says Lotus won that case." In February 1990, the case went to court and on June 28, the court ruled that Paperback Software's product, by copying Lotus 1-2-3's look and feel menu interface, violated Lotus's copyright.[10] Osborne stepped down from Paperback Software the same year."
It’s already happened, just below the surface.

But the American people are not the American government. Most Americans didn’t vote for this.

But you know, the pendulum will swing back eventually. Nothing is forever.
> I've only ridden a Bird once and I crashed it badly

Hope you rode it on the road and not the sidewalk like over 80% of these scooter riders in San Francisco were....

I've been on the receiving end, walking on the side-walk in downtown San Francisco and getting crashed-into by Bird and Lime riders routinely.
I really hope you're just trolling.

There is no stopping China in the information age. Someone said "information wants to be free". That was 35 years ago. China will catch up to the west whether it is by stealing, acquiring or of their own accord. As long as the west think it is a better idea to focus on real estate, finance and service jobs we won't even keep up. South Korea, Taiwan and Japan almost completely missed the Internet. And frankly so did most of Europe and the US. European manufacturers have been moving their factories, if not to China, to Eastern Europe for years. While Midea, a large Chinese appliance manufacturer, just bought Kuka last year. They are now apparently adapting all their products to be made by robots. It is just completely different trajectories.

I also find it useful to organize my notes by topic rather than by book/author/time. Over time, I will build a master reference for topics that I'm interested in.

OneNote/Evernote is especially helpful when you use handwritten idea maps (e.g. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvGG5UqSCqXTnjq9_pD_gb7SJPce). I can't run out of space on my page and I can easily modify the contents if I find better material down the road.

Anything that isn't used to produce some sort of official documents should be using Western-style dates anyway. Also month, day and time stay the same regardless of the era. Only the year number gets reset to 1.
It's also about applying what you learned and creating those neural pathways. I love reading about space and physics but without applying it in my life or having in person conversations about it I don't retain the information as well as other subjects that I practice and discuss regularly.
Assuming the standard meaning of the phrase "snake-oil salesman", I think the odds that this is all an elaborate sham to knowingly dupe people into buying a product that doesn't exist converge on zero.

But, the case can certainly be made that he is prone to hyperbole and "exuberant optimism".
Even if it did, using that as a reason to not increase wages seems like a recipe for irreversible inequality. E.g. if lowering wages is encouraged (because it decreases labour cost) and rising wages is discouraged (because it increases inflation) then how exactly should income ever become more equalized?
Market makers have absolutely no incentive to quote tight spreads up until the last minute where they might have some idea about the price, or maybe not so they don't quote at all.

A lot of 'alternative solutions' to the continuous limit book assume that there's some other mechanism for price discovery so people make informed decisions, but really it is the book itself which provides that information.
I can’t give up my Model 3. Driving any Tesla car is a dopamine hit. You really have to try and drive them to experience it and you’ll be hooked. Many people don’t realize what a refreshing and tremendous difference a smooth and powerful torque curve gives. Seriously forget all the noise about Elon Musk. Try and drive an electric car, which are by far still smoother than gear-shifting gas powered cars, and then try a Tesla.
Tesla's best case scenario is much more than an automaker. They also have hopes of being an energy company, a battery company, a transportation company, and a logistics company. There is still a lot of debate whether any of those will actually become profitable (and I think 2020 is a very aggressive timeline for any of this to happen), but there are huge potential revenue streams for Tesla that simply don't exist for other automakers like Toyota.
I understand all of your points. I also understand the business of a company like Netgate. Their primary condition is that you don't take their work, modify it, and still call it pfSense. That's not any different than RedHat or Canonical (who might not need a banner because they have a fleet of legal staff that quietly handles "compliance"). On the human side this is a product that they put a lot of work into and is also the livelihood of the main contributors, so yes they do deserve to be compensated with their products and services offerings, and trademark is a reasonable tool to enforce so people know they are dealing with the real product they support and said main contributors. Projects owned by a company also have almost no governance infighting nor analysis paralysis issues; there are trade offs to everything.

They are giving you the software for free under permissive licenses. If you want to take it, remove the ID, and make money using their exact business model, you can do that if you call it something else. That is exactly what OPNSense is. Being permissively licensed it's generous to the point that you can take the code, turn it into a proprietary product, and make a fortune without ever communicating or doing anything for the parent. By respecting the trademark they aren't asking for much at all.

assuming Tesla can't find a way to boost production by just 3% over those 52 weeks, it will take less than two weeks to make those additional cars.

Their revenue isn't supply driven anyway, it is demand driven. Two weeks of delay will not result in 273M in lost sales. It will just result in delayed sales.
Blizzard has a huge fanbase that will legitimately buy up anything they release however good or bad it is.

D3 was given away for free with a year subscription to WoW at the time which skewed the numbers a bit too.
Or because you shouldn't have to pay attention, if you don't want to.

For adults (or maybe just the nature of internet conversations), it can seem like a power dynamic. I demand you reflect me back to me, speak my language, concepts, awareness - not your own, etc.

That's what it can feel like, being required to pay attention at all times, like one person is the programmer, and the other is the computer.

It's nice to have a mind that sucks up everything but it's also nice to have a mind that is self directed.

As we age, we get stuck in ways of thinking, knowing, understanding just because we accumulate personal identity. These things are much more fluid if one allows them to be, that's what paying attention can mean. The idea of obedience, eek. Mental handicap, mental fatigue - without concrete proof, I think it's wise to not apply labels to individuals one must interact with.

People sometimes have difficulty paying attention because they need to come to their own understanding independently, and if you are always trying to shove information in - making sure they can output that information in the correct format, one isn't letting them get there as an individual.

Capable, sure they are. Sometimes they can be much more aware than they appear to be too, and the only difference that capacity doesn't manifest itself is because in a system where the only options are - reflect information in these correct formats, otherwise adult observation implies 'no attention paid', I mean... Can you be capable and feel as though you got there as an individual if those are the rules of the system?

Simplified, give people time, have patience. The reasons why they aren't 'getting it' is because you are trying to give the whole thing to them. Sometimes people want to get there independently, and once that gets boring, they probably can develop a greater desire to get there with others.
Capital gains taxes are the same if you hold for a minute vs a month, but that doesn’t have to be true. I wonder if addressing the issue raised by the OP might be approached from that angle?
