Is it great to be a worker in the U.S? No, with rest of the developed world
For what it's worth, I'd strongly recommend everyone try using a trackpad instead of a mouse with its advantage being less space it requires for operation. When using a mouse you constantly have to slide your arm around within an imaginary square on the desk surface and regularly lift the mouse to relocate your arm from the edge of the square back to its center. While with a trackpad you arm just rests and a single finger is all you need to do all the work. It's at least more quiet and you don't have to move you arm too far away from the keyboard when you need to use it.
Notice how every sector of the economy that the government is highly involved with (health care, education, real estate) keeps increasing its costs?

Your inflated health care bills helped pay for the 280k average salary of physicians (source: https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2018-compensation-overvie...), which is over 2x as high as Western european doctors' salary. You can thank the aggressive occupational licensing that the AMA engages in that prevents more potential doctors from joining the workforce and keeps salaries high. For instance: Western european doctors do not need a 4-year bachelors degree just to _enter_ medical school.

You are also sponsoring drug discovery. United States pays for the drug research, eats the high drug costs, and then Western Europe mooches off our R&D spending.

And guess what? Western Europe's free health care is not free: The 50% higher taxes in Western Europe are required to pay for all this.
> PS: I am curious why asking about continuing slavery in other parts of the world importing Black slaves is so heavily downvoted.

Because it sounds very much like whataboutism. In an article about the US and slavery, you're talking about how other cultures may have been worse--ones completely unrelated to the current discussion.
It’s possible, a few years ago they were 40% of peak North American downstream traffic.
You get judged on your actions; you don't get a pass because someone vaguely similar to you did good things.
> Many workers are much better off in the US than in Europe as well

Workers are not better off, there are way worse off in the US. They get less money due to the minimum wage being very low and the cost of medical care, they work more in average, they have less holidays and less social mobility than in Europe.

Big businesses however are better off so I agree in part with your first paragraph.
Actually they did (in 2005) try to slip a vote on software patents in by scheduling it for an "Agriculture and Fishery" meeting. Luckily, they failed.

What benefit does the anchoring give over just the signing part? Surely the signature is enough to prove that the email is from the expected sender? I feel like this is just an attempt to add Blockchain to an existing system for no benefit to the user.

EDIT: After looking around a bit more, the product appears to be your standard CRM tool (similar to Streak) but with "Blockchain" added to make it look different (but without adding any value).
This is true for middle-class and upper-middle class workers. But there has always been an underclass of people who barely make enough to survive, lack the market power to negotiate for better wages, lack the ability to acquire new skills in order to get different jobs, and/or are stuck with their current employers for lack of other opportunities. This population is also susceptible to overtime abuse and wage theft.

As for the middle and upper middle class, taking home more of your income is only part of the story. I don't have statistics on this, but I am sure that much of that take-home pay is offset by higher medical costs and the need for more retirement savings. Not to mention the fact that the American work week is longer and vacation days are rarer.
Pretty sure all the parent's questions were healthcare related:

[What happens to my healthcare] if I want to start a business?

[What happens to my healthcare] if I want to go back to college?

...
Is the insinuation not the same? It comes across as somewhat derisory, whether intended or not.

What amuses me about this exchange here is how even in 'collaborating' through writing, at least four individuals aren't able to meaningfully describe what they really intend. The internet, writ black and white, polarises and makes nuance absolute and all hope of sense is lost! :)

For what it's worth, I do appreciate where you're coming from - there's no forelorn dread I feel more than the suggestion of a completely superfluous face to face meeting... .

Also, I have to repeatedly remind friends and family, as well as business contacts, that the best and most assured way to get in contact with me is to send me an email. It has been for nearly 20 years now. Always!

>that's why its economy is so much more dynamic than European economies

What do you mean with more dynamic?
Europe spends half what we do on healthcare per-capita (and the gap is widening, as their costs historically don't grow as quickly - https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-...).

Just because our government does a shitty half-assed job of it doesn't mean all governments have to.
That's more an effect of the fast train to KGX
I'm glad this is being addressed but I don't feel qualified to add anything of substance to it.

As many other techies I frequent message boards on reddit and other sites. A majority of users are from the US and many posts are written from a US-centric point of view.

What I've observed on those message boards regarding workers rights and health has made me deeply concerned about US workers. And that's only in the tech field. I can't even imagine how it compares to other industrial fields.

I'm not qualified to debate this but I am convinced that I would never want to work in the united states.
It's unlikely that you will find a long standing play store app with youtube-dl built in.
> They get to keep a greater portion of their income

I always see this come up during discussions about how the US compares to other developed countries. I think the mentality is slightly different in the EU. If you were raised knowing that your income was going to be taxed at 50% but you also got free healthcare, education, welfare assistance, etc., you’d probably learn to value those things over buying a bigger TV or whatever. The only reason we complain about how they have less disposable income is due to the fact that we spend so much of ours on healthcare and education so it looks like a scarce resource that we need to hoard.
Yep. Use MatterMost self-hosted at worst, or something simple like OpenFire/XMPP
Agreed - I think the key to owning a house in Cambridge is to already own a house in Cambridge. That and work in the City or buy-to-let.

On the other hand, buying in conjunction with the local housing associations is more feasible, so it's not all doom and gloom.
I assume from your comment you only use a script blocker (like uMatrix, Noscript, ...?) but not an actual ad blocker (I'd recommend uBlock Origin).

That would make your grammarly problem go away pretty fast.
I would love a citation on this.

Anecdotally, I have lived in both the United States and United Kingdom. My tax rate was similar and in the UK I largely paid less for rent, healthcare and public transportation while paying more for staples like food. All in all costs were largely equaled out, although in the UK I enjoyed more vacation and worker protections I did not have as a US employee.
Problems also solved by increasing your mouse sensitivity.
The units of your equation are pages per second per machine, but I agree. Reading briefly it seems like he only used 141 threads per machine to do the actual crawling. This likely could be pushed an order of magnitude further (or even more!), especially by using green threads. It does seem like he was running up against CPU constraints and network issues soon after that, but also this was written in 2012.
Genome Jumper
How Team Leaders Can Build Trust
That greater agility comes at a cost of stability. It's better for those with the means to not worry about the instability - those who are better able or willing to gamble upon an unsure thing, but it punishes those less risk adverse, or less capable of taking advantage of the system (the poor, those with dependents or debt).
The role of women in ancient Greece varied. Spartan women at one time held 40% of all property, and were highly educated and could freely travel, while women in Athens had a lot less rights.

The deferral to (what I assumed to be) surgeons seems to indicate specialization rather than being anti-competitive. That is, there was a split between "doctors" and "chirurgeons" or surgeons.
Genome Jumper
The mobile game to discover your genes!

Genome Jumper invites you to explore the human genome and its variations on your smartphone. From skin and eye color to food preference or disease predisposition - countless features (phenotypes) can be influenced by small changes (variants) in our DNA. Play the game to discover the effects of such changes on your avatar...

How do I play?
Run along the sequence of over 30 genes to collect unique variants and watch your character change accordingly… often with surprising results! The levels of increasing difficulty will require all your dexterity to avoid dangerous falls into non-coding regions and to jump over secondary structures, while collecting as many points as possible.

It's highly involved, but maybe not involved in the right way... the relationship looks rather incestous.
Might as well build a tool to blogify mailing list archives. If the list is private you can always publish the blog-form summary if you have the authority to do it. But there's no way to monetize that -- you have to provide much more than that, and centralize things in the process, in order to monetize.

For corporate customers who want to publish into an org, rather than the world, this service might actually be very valuable. For non-corporate uses this might make some sense, but for me... I'd not let a third party read my email.

What if you just throw away the TOTP secret right after you get it and verify it on Github? You don't have to use your phone either. Just because you used TOTP to set up u2f on Github doesn't mean you have to store the TOTP secret indefinitely.
And yet health care costs are lower in countries where the government runs healthcare.

Our system of government involvement, where it’s neither a free market, nor a single payer system, is indeed an example of the worst way government can be involved.
Well, virtually nobody browsing HN can say they share the pains of the workers of the US that 'suffer when compared with the rest of the world'.

Sure, there are many low-income residents, high inequality, high turnover, low unemployment with low upward job mobility, etc. All those things are true for the 'disadvantaged', and engineers, technologists, computer scientists etc. are _not_ part of the population that makes less than the median income.

So, yeah, a more appropriate title would be 'vanishing lower middle class in the US is increasingly facing the same problems as the lower class', which some may argue is identical to 'is becoming poor' (but not technically true)

Anyway, at a _personal_ level, nobody here will come to the conclusion they better leave to the EU because they'd be better there
> Netflix only does DVDs in the USA now. They have withdrawn in other markets in favour of streaming-only.

This may be partly due to the USA's unique combination of a well functioning postal service, large population, and lack of broadband penetration in rural areas.

If you venture out to Alaska, the Dakotas, West Viriginia etc there's tons of places where there's a post office but no or shitty broadband.

Being able to drive into town and pick up a stack of blu-rays at your PO box, and send back the old is extremely useful in such areas.
Show HN: New SEO tool for content and technical SEO analysis
Ask HN: What are the best email newsletters you subscribe to?
It means if you get a 1k raise, your take-home pay only increases by 400.
Hello!

For the last few months we’ve been working on a new tool for analyzing websites.

In the first iteration we’ve focused on the analysis of the content and technical aspects.
While entering one address our crawler precisely analyzes each webpage.
The most significant elements that we check are as follows:

- the most frequent key words in the whole website and each webpage separately (whether they appear in the title, description, alt, url, h1-h6 attributes)

- the amount of the content (key words in the whole website, webpages, in relation to html, etc.)

- popularity of webpages in the social media (useful e.g. during research of the competition’s articles)

- SEO technical aspects (title, description, h1...h6 elements, alt)

- SSL certificates when it is valid and when it expires

- image optimization

- on-site link correctness verification

On the basis of all elements we determine the original Seodity Rank, with the usage of which one can sort webpages.

Plan for the future (works have already been initiated):

- backlinks

- automatic competition verification on the basis of the Google search results (analysis of each competitive webpage separately and drawing conclusions + prompts)

- white-label report adjusted to the Client’s audit

From the beginning, in the substantive terms, our friends related to the affiliation market helped us a lot. They praise the tool very much.

We’ll be very grateful for your suggestions and proposals concerning adding additional elements to the tool. Please let us know what else you would like to analyze.

Thanks in advance!
I can only speak from personal experience, but I have noticed that I easily get excited to learn a shiny new tool or skill, but once I have basic familiarity with it, my eagerness dries up because all that was driving my desire to learn was the intrigue of an unknown experience. Times where I felt like I actually went deep (and it didn't require superhuman discipline to spend time on something I had lost interest in) were when I was working on a problem I was passionate about that required deep knowledge of a certain set of tools or skills. Then I had reason to keep pushing and along the way I realized I had become halfway decent at that tool/skill set.

Overview of Intel SGX – Part 1, SGX Internals
I live in Australia. I pay about as much tax as someone living in California, but with that I also get healthcare.

I also get 11 days of public holidays, 20 days of normal leave, and 10 days of sick leave.

I'm pretty happy with what I've got, to be honest.
Thanks mr. Gatekeeper
I guess this is not applicable to start-ups outside of the US?
I had no idea they rebranded it as DVD.com. I remember a few years ago when they tried to rebrand it as Qwikster and it was an enormous failure. I guess they pulled it off this time by not really marketing it.
The key thing to note is that this is a clone of the front-end/ sales part. The actual value part of Scott's Cheap Flights is completely separate.

That said, this is a great way to show how easy it is to build a landing page and collect payments with absolutely no code.
This is highly generalized. Check the numbers from Switzerland compared to any high income city in the US the take away and living standard almost always seems a lot better in switzerland.

Generally we talk about less taxes, cheaper health care and a higher or similar income.
Thanks for sharing this course, very interesting.

I wish HN had an easy way to save comments like Reddit, but this reply should do the trick :)
I usually get mine second hand from Amazon. some of them are prime and I can get the next day (UK). Some however are from the US so that can be a long wait. I've not really ventured out from them though.
I never believed that. I was an avid motorcyclists for decades and spent lots of time around riders of loud pipe bikes. If safety was what drove them to straight pipes, then I would expect those concerns to carry through with the rest of their gear.
This is really what it comes down to.

This is also where the basic argument to "tax the rich" comes from. For the price of a yacht, you could feed and house multiple families for a year in some cities.

so basically you hired more android and ios developers and they kicked out RN while the whole purpose of it is not ti have dedicated mobile developers. sounds like your taxi drivers would not like uber too..
> Your inflated health care bills helped pay for the 280k average salary of physicians (source: https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2018-compensation-overvie...), which is over 2x as high as Western european doctors' salary.

I doubt that's the majority of the massive cost difference.

> For instance: Western european doctors do not need a 4-year bachelors degree just to _enter_ medical school.

Don't know where you are basing this but in France, Pharmacist is High School Diploma + 6 years or + 9 year depending on the specialty. So you get out at 24 or 27 year old (best scenario), I doubt that's longer in the US or otherwise there's a big problem there.
Libraries: Where the World's Memory Is Stored
Yes it can, emails that are more than a few words meet all the criteria for a copyright protection. So it's a case where not every email is copyrighted but almost all non-trivial ones are.

"Once you sent me your email, it's mine, not yours."

"Once you let me download Star Wars, it's mine, not yours."

Email forwarding in general isn't illegal. There are plenty of times where you could forward an email where there are no issues of copyright. Like an autogenerated notification for example, that email wouldn't be copyrighted at all. On the flip side if I send you a copy of my book in an email you certainly don't have the right to forward it as that would be an unauthorized reproduction. The question is generally where certain types of personal and professional communication fall.
Don't forget about ETags.
This is a perfect opportunity to whip out one of my favorite quotes by Simone de Beauvoir:

“Proust observed with astonishment that a great doctor or a great professor often shows himself, outside of his specialty, to be lacking in sensitivity, intelligence, and humanity. The reason for this is that having abdicated his freedom, he has nothing else left but his techniques. In domains where his techniques are not applicable, he either adheres to the most ordinary of values or fulfills himself as a flight.”

I think this quote applies to a lot of people on this site.
And the Western European governments have _death panels_ to decide who deserves medical care and who deserves to die.

And, in Western Europe, you must wait over a month for your non-urgent surgery, and much longer to be admitted into the ER. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/03/world/europe/uk-national-....
And you might die while waiting for your medical care: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/bacchus-barua-/wait-times-cana...

Rules or Triggers to Log Bulk Updates
I've been using a trackpad as my main pointing device for probably 3 years now.

Macbook trackpads are so nice and large, and with gesture support they're so useful.

Upon saying that. If you have a good mouse with good DPI, you shouldn't be constantly relocating your mouse. When I used to use a nice mouse before it went walkabout I was able to move from one end of my screen to the other without ever lifting the mouse. That's how a mouse should be calibrated.
Additionally every time the underclass bargaining power is about to raise due to shortage of labor the ruling elite imports competition that has even less rights and has to work for less, in worse conditions and in constant fear of being deported.

The most important thing to change is stopping illegal immigration. Either allow more people in and give them equal standing in the job market to citizens or don't allow them in at all.
It is is possible to know where the style comes from and still dislike it. E.g. I read Plato’s Republic [sic] and hate it for, among other things, its literary style. I find it artificial and, in the case of Plato, fundamentally dishonest - serving as an argument from authority (see Popper’s critique in “Open society and its enemies vol 1”).

Yeah, I did all those things as well. They were essential. And yet I would say that at least 50% of the bugs we ran into were either buffer overflows, stack overflows, using freed pointers, not freeing pointers, or incorrect pointer indirection. At least we didn't have to worry about race conditions.
I talk a lot about this with my wife. She's half mexican-american, I'm a quarter so we compare notes. Not everyone has what it takes to code. I played the hell out of video games for hours and hours on end as a kid. I'm kind of a natural fit for sitting in front of a computer for hours, trouble shooting until I succeed. My parents, my siblings, my friends I grew up with... not so much. Not scientific, but I kind of think we won the lottery for brains and the personality to do the kind of work we do for long stretches of time.
Cool. Do you feel the same about the folks in the Western US who now and then seize federal property, or elsewhere who hold menacing protests when somebody takes down a Confederate statue?
