Nobody in Europe is truly poor like they are in America. Most places in the States, one is lucky if one earns $40 to $55 k per year, and that's barely enough to make ends meet (been there, done that, got the T-shirt), especially for young people starting out like I was decades prior. Had to watch every dollar on that kind of a salary with home and car mortgages (like most Americans). If I had $200 - $300 left at the end of the month after paying everything, I considered myself lucky and hoped no unforeseen expense incident would take place. And that's true for most people in IT in the States. My buddy who rubbed elbows with me sitting at lectures at the university and has the same exact degree as me is earning around $55 k after more than 25 years in the industry, and his salary is above average compared to what the rest of the people earn.
I have kids and am of Muslim origin and I have absolutely no problem with this:

> _not_ to show ads to "undesireable" people, like people with kids, or of a certain religion

What if I have a bar in Vegas almost exclusively frequented by young people in their twenties who go their to get drunk and meet singles. Why would I want to waste money showing an ad to people with kids who will not be interested and bring way less conversions than people with no kids in their twenties? What if I open a delicatessen shop that makes most of its business on porc meat and liquor, would I get a lot of conversions by paying to show such an ad to Muslims or would I be wasting money? What you want is advertisers to show their ads to people who are not interested and lose their money. That doesn't seem fair to me. People of different family situation (kids or no kids) or religions don't always share the same interests and that's ok.
I moved from Australia to Sweden a bit under six years ago because I wanted to work in games again and Australia didn't have much of a game dev industry at the time. From there it was pretty normal/boring: applied for a job through the company's website listings, got a call about a week later to set up an interview, came in for the interview, royally messed up surprise test during the interview. The interview went ok otherwise and I asked to take the test sheets home with me to review. After getting home I realized how simple this thing is and I was just too nervous to see it in the moment. Wrote another email to the in-house recruiter with my solution to the test, requesting that they pass it on to the interviewers. Thankfully they did and I got an offer about a week later. Overall from moving to applying to signing a contract took a bit under two months.
Absolutely. I encourage the previous poster to get yourself to a point where you are happy with your current situation. Do more things that make you happy in your day to day, find things you can get lost in "flow", invest more in important personal relationships / give more, start a gratitude journal, etc.

Ironically once you can be happy without Facebook, you are actually more likely to get into Facebook or whatever company because you'll be more detached from the outcome and more able to focus.

I cannot conceive of a "stronger" explanation for what the GP stated. What kind of good faith argument could possibly be assumed in that guy asking that maybe reexamining Redline laws isn't the worst thing. It's a vile thing to say, and a statement made, I can only assume, in utter and wanton disregard of racial history of the United States.

It's a bit shameful that you flagged the parent and not the grandparent, who seems to be playing devil's advocate purely for the sake of an argument.

Those are very controlled environments. Outside where there is weather and wind, anything can happen. Also if there is a bug in the software or some hardware fails in a CNC machine then you loose some material, not a big of a deal.

Sorry, Apple never publicly admits there’s a problem unless they are getting their asses kicked with bad PR.

The history: the repeat GPU problems of the 2011 AND 2012 MBPs (which they didn’t really fix, I can attest to my once again overheating 2011 that was “fixed”), the keyboards, the third party replacement displays on iPhones, the bending iPhone 5’s. Not to mention a crapload of amateurish display bugs in iOS 10 and 11. The pwn your phone over WiFi. And the T2 BridgeOS issue has been ongoing since the iMac Pro was released.
Show HN: Umbrella JS, a 2.5kb jQuery alternative
I submitted this 3 years back [1] when I was starting. But now I think it's finished and well polished, so I am resubmitting it. I am happy to say that I don't normally find bugs anymore and the bug reports have slowed down while adoption has skyrocketed [2] [3]

It follows loosely a subset of jQuery methods, but it adds some others where relevant for common JS patterns (.handle() == .on() + e.preventDefault()) and the existing ones are generally more flexible.

Switzerland isn't closed off to immigration and working on clamping down with all their might, I wonder where you got that impression.

It's the opposite. It allows unlimited immigration from the EU. The people voted against that it's true, but the government ignored the referendum and implemented a local worker preference instead. But with unemployment very low anyway, it is easy to argue you could not find a Swiss person to do the work, so this is effectively the same as doing nothing.

Since the T2 chip is mostly about the Touch Bar / Touch ID / secure enclave then no, the FN MBP doesn't have the T2 chip nor BridgeOS.

Also, the FN MBP hardware hasn't been upgraded at all like the TB ones were, so the CPU is one gen earlier and thus dual core, while keyboard flaws remain since it's a non-fixed keyboard (the one without the rubber thingies)

There have been many, many articles like this, and I think they have little value except the glorification of psychopaths. The term "psychopath" is fascinating to many, due to the cultural references linked to it. However psychopathy has never been clearly defined in the DSM. Maybe it's just a combination of other disorders (autism + NPD ?), maybe it's a separate disorder waiting to be discovered. Either way, nothing to be fascinated about.
I was involved in a project with a researcher in Japan, it was impossible to replicate their work.

Numerous people (academics in the field) have suggested that the work was falsified.

I somehow can’t quite bring myself the believe it. I can’t understand what the motivation would be, or that any reasonable person would fake scientific data. And continue to do so, over a period years.

The STAP cell debacle is somewhat similar. What’s the endgame? Surely it becomes clear in the end that the work can not be replicated?

Can anyone shed some light on the motivation for these frauds? Is there something in particular about the Japanese ecosystem that makes them more common?
You come off worse than the psychopaths.
Most of my time has been maintaining. I've gotten the opportunity to build a couple of things as well from scratch and that is always fun, but I get more of a kick from maintaining large existing codebases, learning about them, trying to follow good practices and figure out why certain things were done the way they were. While building is fun, maintaining (if you have the opportunity to take the time to maintain properly and really invest in understanding the system) is rewarding in its own way.
That's totally fine; the law only cares about specific markets of life-altering importance like housing, employment, and probably a couple of others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Keep trying, and don’t take it to your heart. The whole interview circus is stupid and everybody knows it. The only people who think they’re the smartest around are the ones who never worked with folks who are truly, freakishly gifted. I’ve been lucky in that regard, so I no longer have any illusions about my intellectual prowess. Over time you will see that intellect isn’t everything, nor does it guarantee success. Stay in the industry, change jobs every 2 years, put yourself in the path of serendipity, and do a good job. Mobility will come eventually.
Flooded the market with over 100 job applications. Talked with dozens of people - from Tech Leads on another continent to clueless HR interns. Build up a really good perspective of the IT industry in the area. Dismissed many dodgy, disrespectful, weird companies, afterwards discovered that one has very bad Google reviews - customers call them scammers (my gut feeling was to refuse working on their take home assignment with a copyright clause). Met many respectful, caring people building legit businesses. The endeavour took 8 months (with one transitional acceptable job) and resulted with one legit job offer, in a niche but interesting industry, paid what I believe is the market rate. Realized that the job postings online basically evolved into Tinder - showing off, claiming things, lying, liking-dismissing for the most trivial reason, but few actual "transactions" happening. I don't want to go through this again.
> Problem is that nobody wanted the touch bar and thus the T2 chip there in the first place

I think you are discounting the millions of people who never wanted the F-keys in the first place.
Perhaps, for me it just means that the comparisons are inaccurate.

I'd like to see an in-depth comparison which includes things such as taxation. I often see rent being mentioned in these comparisons. Cost of living is just one minor aspect. QoL is yet another, and more subjective. If you knew what my healthcare costs are and what I get out of it (or well, in the past), I am pretty confident that a lot of Americans would prefer that, except for a rich happy few. It isn't as if private healthcare doesn't have any incentive, or is always high quality. Example [1]

And even cost of living is difficult to compare. If you go to a US shop, pretty much always the price doesn't include sales tax. If you go to a EU shop, if the product is targeted for consumers the default price has to include the sales tax. I find the former -like the imperial system- not practical at best, and deceiving at worst. The latter is just a matter of seeing it from the customer's PoV though yeah it might lead to lower sales on the long run it leads to more happy customers.

The research is using prices to determine the "best" paintings for an artist, but that means that their data for art is basically determined by the not-exactly-quality-based forces involved in pricing art. "Van Gogh painted this one at the same time as X that sold for $$$$Y" is an effective selling point to certain segments of that market.

I see this as similar to a Windows vs Linux thing. Where as Mastodon might never be popular there's nothing to stop it existing. People can find their own communities however small and be content in those.

Regular people never used Linux and they still don't use Linux desktops. But there's still lots and lots of Linux desktop distros that people who use love. Not many people have genuine affection for using Windows, but when someone's installed their own distro they have genuine affection for using it. They'll donate hours and hours of their free time fixing issues.

People currently have genuine affection for using a mastodon instance. Genuine affection is a very powerful tool.
Who cares? Why does this article assume that giant corporations like fb and Google are even desired? For everyone but their founders, they are a cancer to society. Europe's cultural barriers are a net positive, preventing these cancers from growing and spreading. It makes it a better place to live for everyone. It's such an American centric point of view to want big companies, almost always monopolies, to thrive at the expense of everyone else. Europe does tech just fine. Maybe the question is why can't America control its cancerous companies? Now that is an interesting topic.
> What if the kitchen is on Belgium side, The Netherlands are not allows to do proper health and safety inspection?

It seems that way. A couple of years ago Belgium & Netherlands agreed to swap ownership of a small peninsula because it was on Belgian territory, but the only access was from the Netherlands, and so the area was being used for crimes where neither country had legal access:

"In short, the Dutch could not go there because it was Belgian, and Belgian police and judicial authorities found it tough to get there. They are not allowed to cross into the Netherlands without permission and the peninsula had no proper landing zone for boats or equipment coming in by water."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/dec/30/belgium-and-th...
Why does it offer bleak hope? I really don’t get this parallel, where not feeling for someone equals wanting them to be in pain.

Not caring doesn’t make you evil, it makes you indifferent. I think feeling less is an advantage if you do want to hurt others, but there is really no correlation between the two. You don’t automatically start wanting to hurt people, just because you don’t feel empathy.
That only works in theory. In practice the reflector, light, whatever gets dirty and you would have false alarms non-stop.

Further explanations are unnecessary. I wish you'll be able to afford this amiable gullibility for all your life. In fact, that's precisely what disappearance of psychopaths would make possible.
The much more interesting version of this article was the neurology researcher who scanned his own brain and found it matched exactly the structure of criminal psychopaths who he was studying.

The guy otherwise had a wife, children and positive social environment, so it was something of a surprise discovery to him. It was much more introspective and informative on the possible nature of the condition - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-neuroscien...

> "doing tech" needs to be something like a facebook or google

Yes, this is what is implied. Why would you think otherwise? Funny that building big corporations is frowned upon or even outright vilified by so many.

May be this is what is wrong with Europe; no more ambition to do big things.

Big tech companies can do so much more than tiny businesses. Granted, there are some things that small companies can do better especially when it requires huge risk taking, but overall, why would any small company not want to get bigger(as big as it can get)? Isn't that the point of being in business?!
>I did notice that the cylinders were around twice the quoted capacities for tower cranes I was finding.

A "normal" (very large) tower crane rarely exceeds 12 tons, BUT, more than that, usually these use not "single" cable, i.e. a largish crane is usually 6 tons max, but can lift up to 12 tons doubling the cable/rope (which implies halving the lifting speed).

Moreover, cranes are rated/designed (loosely) on their reach, they are intended - within limits - to cover a whole building site, so arms of 20-30-40-50-60 meters.

An electric tower crane (a "normal" one) is well below US$ 300 K, I seem to remember we paid for a very large one, 80/100 meters tall, 50/60 meters arm, 6/12 tons at arm point around 250,000 Euro a few years ago (but costs have not increased much as it is a stale market AFAIK).

The "key factor" is the "overturning" moment at the base (that implies a much sturdier tower and heavier coounterweights), and the single tower design is aimed to have a "light", "transportable" and "easily assemblable/disassemblable unit" the actual lattice is subject to very heavy tensile cycles as it is extremely flexible.

It would make much more sense (to me at least) to have a specially designed crane with an as short as possible arm, traveling on a track (which is also a setup commonly used in building sites) or a portal crane, like the ones used in quarries or pre-fabrication sites 35 tons are a lot of weight.

Besides (reinforced) concrete is at the most 2.3 tons per cubic meter, so it is not very efficient as a weight/counterweight, though possibly it is among the lower cost per kg material.

On the other hand rebar concrete is an excellent material for the actual tower, so in a fixed place it makes much more sense to build a (say) 100 m tall pier/pylon than using a "light" lattice /truss structure for the tower.
But there is selective use of advertising to target specific markets, which is an issue about which the Code of Federal Regulations, section 109.25 (https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/DOC_7781.PDF) is completely clear:

> § 109.25 Selective use of advertising media or content.

> The selective use of advertising media or content when particular combinations thereof are
used exclusively with respect to various housing developments or sites can lead to discriminatory
results and may indicate a violation of the Fair Housing Act. For example, the use of English
language media alone or the exclusive use of media catering to the majority population in an area,
when, in such area, there are also available non-English language or other minority media, may
have discriminatory impact. Similarly, the selective use of human models in advertisements may
have discriminatory impact. The following are examples of the selective use of advertisements
which may be discriminatory:

> (a) Selective geographic advertisements. Such selective use may involve the strategic
placement of billboards; brochure advertisements distributed within a limited geographic area by
hand or in the mail; advertising in particular geographic coverage editions of major metropolitan
newspapers or in newspapers of limited circulation which are mainly advertising vehicles for
reaching a particular segment of the community; or displays or announcements available only in
selected sales offices.

> (b) Selective use of equal opportunity slogan or logo. When placing advertisements, such
selective use may involve placing the equal housing opportunity slogan or logo in advertising
reaching some geographic areas, but not others, or with respect to some properties but not others.

> (c) Selective use of human models when conducting an advertising campaign. Selective
advertising may involve an advertising campaign using human models primarily in media that cater
to one racial or national origin segment of the population without a complementary advertising
campaign that is directed at other groups. Another example may involve use of racially mixed
models by a developer to advertise one development and not others. Similar care must be
exercised in advertising in publications or other media directed at one particular sex, or at persons
without children. Such selective advertising may involve the use of human models of members of
only one sex, or of adults only, in displays, photographs or drawings to indicate preferences for one
sex or the other, or for adults to the exclusion of children.

Targeted advertising was already a thing when these regulations were written decades ago; internet advertising is just a difference in scale and cost.
