Are there no nutritional facts for these items? I can't seem to find them on the site.
But people don't want "professional services" at all: they want justice for the vendor who ripped them off and skipped town. They want a divorce. They want to make sure that, when they die, their daughter gets the house. They want a partnership agreement for their hot dog truck business. Later on, they might want to make sure that their partner doesn't skip town with the truck and stick him with the debts.

These things don't necessarily require professional services. They certainly don't require taking time off in the middle of the day to go to an oak-paneled office with potted plants and an anteroom. We could organize our society to give people justice without traditional law practices. We've chosen not to because the benefits accrue to a well-connected minority and the downsides accrue dripwise to the rest of us.

Note that LegalZoom and a few others are indeed trying to do this, but even they are forced to equivocate that they're not really lawyers. It's the legal equivalent of making tobacco companies put diseased lungs on their cigarette packaging, except it's not correcting for an externality, but imposing one. Why do I even need LegalZoom for a will? Shouldn't there be a government website where I can register my will for free? Should I need a lawyer and a judge to give me a no-fault divorce?
Virtually every site breaks the back button now. Even reddit will suddenly forget discussions I had closed, and where I was on the page, and then have to reload something, when I all I need it to do was take me back to the same state on the page that I had before.
I'll vouch for this plug! I've spent quite a bit of time learning SQL (and Postgres specific stuff), and this was one of my favorite resources.

I can also recommend Learning SQL by Alan Beaulieu, which was recommended in some HN comment. After looking into various books, some of them Postgres specific, I found this one to be the best for learning from scratch.
-1 Moving the evolution of a groups code into the hands of the person who works with it the least is an anti-pattern. Driving change from within a team can be facilitated by a manager who reads the group's code, but any manager who thinks they are going to be the judge of what the team is achieving is deluded and overly enthusiastic about their authority.

That's something that bothers me about wayland. There really is a lot of variance when it comes to people's preferences about window decorations and focus behavior and so on. Having the applications handle it themselves is going to result in a lot of lost functionality/configurabilty.

"Instead, we need to re-imagine what kind of society we want our children to inherit and what our schools must provide in order to create such a society."

I work in k-12 and let me stop you right there. If you want to change a society then you better start with the parents and not rely on the school to raise your child.
No, but it could implement hefty property tax on properties owned by non-residents.
If you take Psychology 101 you’ll learn that punishment very rarely dissuades people from doing things society doesn’t want them to do, especially basic bodily functions. Maybe we should design cities such that people don’t feel the need to pee in public.

I’ll add a little anecdote to this too. I was drunk at 4 AM in Hamburg, Germany once (as you do), but because Germans love absolute change and using cash, I happened to not have enough coins to use one of the plentiful pay-to-pee bathrooms. So what do I do? I find the nearest secluded doorway and narrowly avoid pissing myself.

For all of the problems of American cities, free restrooms is something they got right. If you don’t make it difficult to use a bathroom, people won’t be forced to pee in public like I was.
Does anyone care to guess how many of these will return the principal? How many will turn a profit? Of those that turn a profit, how many will be engaging in some form of regulatory arbitrage (i.e. Uber and labor/taxi regulation)?

So the property is being occupied, which I don't think they have a problem with. The issue is wealthy investors are coming in, buying up property at above market rate, and then letting it sit empty and driving up the price higher since there is less sellers on the market.

I've mostly battled with 1 and 3, like they're two extremes on the spectrum.

In the first instance, I suspect there is blame culture or otherwise the developers previously had that experience and thus carried the baggage to the new job. I believe this is how you can get pull requests that either never get approved or merged (nobody wants their name attached to it in case they get called out). When it comes to not having time to review at all, I suspect that's the classic "I'm too busy" excuse, where if the whole team is too busy working independently then they can't ever expect to get anything to production without a serious effort each time.

In that instance the code review and lack of productivity is just a symptom of a lack of team dynamic.

The latter point is weird because I've had that and I didn't enjoy it at all. I could never tell if the approval was because the work was good or because it was a rubber stamp operation. Especially based on other feedback it felt like I was being put on a pedestal and I hated that I could basically do no wrong, even when I did because we merged and then I had a gut feeling that I fucked something up.

I'm not sure accountability would fix that particular manifestation of the problem.

This probably sounds trollish, but security isn't that important. An OS architecture has to take into account other things too.

This is just not my experience, at all. I'm extremely sensitive to this issue, and its just not something I see all that regularly any more.
It's stronger than that. People moving into luxury housing are generally moving from mainstream housing, freeing up capacity downstream.
That's a great callout! These aren't just spice packets -- they include everything you need for the dish like you mentioned. You can see the full ingredients list for each dish under 'Benefits' of the page. For example, sambar includes carrots, bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, spice and the full seasoning. The only ingredient missing is water!

From the code:

long a,b,c; // randomly assigned 64-bit values

As I first understood the way this blog post was written, the author was relying on the JRE to populate these uninitialized variables with random values.

Edit: that was an incorrect understanding. It's not shown in the post, but in his real code he actually does assign values to these (thanks for the clarifying replies).

More of the code for context:

// in Java, long is 64-bit, int 32-bit

long a,b,c; // randomly assigned 64-bit values

int hash32(long x) {
int low = (int)x;
int high = (int)(x >>> 32);
return (int)((a * low + b * high + c) >>> 32);
}

I think it's time to open up certain tracts of federal, state, and local land to free camping.

Right now there's basically no where to live for free, or even reasonable rent. (Yes--I know about section 8, etc. Those programs were at maximum density 20 years ago.)

I used to work at a mini storage, and saw people trying to live out of their units. It never worked more than a few months.

I saw one guy use all his savings to buy 50 grand VW bus. By the second night, he was getting tickets for sleeping where he shouldn't, which is everywhere, except $60 buck a night RV parking. I did let him use the bathroom, but I was the only one.

We need to realize America's biggest problem is housing.

That combined with so many chit jobs, and lousy government support systems; equals what we are seeing on our streets---filth, and homelessness.

And cops don't stop crime. They collect Revenue. They seem to go out of their way to harass anyone trying to game the system. (Game is the wrong word. They are trying to survive thus mess.)
But then the employees have to dedicate a good chunk of salary to rent.
Just introduce the property tax, and either increase services or decrease local taxes
Doesn't matter if it's rented or not, it drives the price up either way.
You can do this with i3 (or any tiling WM, I believe), since they automatically maximize any window if it's the only one on the workspace. Disable the panel/i3bar, and you would have what you seek. Start it with 'exec i3' in .xinitrc and running 'xinit' on login.

I have to say I’m impressed at the price at which you’re able to deliver these meals - I would have expected them to cost 25-50% more a la Blue Apron (which I don’t use due to the price). I’ll have to try these!

Have you thought about trying to sell your products, or similar products, to people who camp/hike/etc? I think the fact that the meals are dehydrated and easy to cook would appeal to them

One point of constructive criticism I would offer is that I find the nutritional information hard to find and read in some circumstances.

Querying need finalization of state then its just pretty fast but will comment once i can get the API into a friendlier state :D
I see your point. However I don't agree that nobody could plan for the increase in population. They can absolutely plan for that. The failure is in planning modes of housing that nobody in the city wants(single-family detached housing with a 45 minute commute by car), and in blocking the increasing densification of neighborhoods in desirable areas. Because the density and housing type of a district is controlled by government, the zoning lags behind how people actually want to live. That's the source of the housing crisis.

It's shameful that our local governments continue to allow people to block the construction of housing when it's clear how much the NIMBYs contribute to the homelessness and impoverishment of their neighbors.
The dirty secret is that we take a microkernel, rename the syscalls as "upcalls", throw in some hardware emulation code as a less efficient and uglier API for software that can't be bothered to be ported, and call it a hypervisor.

Also, your phone's baseband processor almost certainly runs a microkernel, and likely so does your car.

Ask HN: What practices do you follow for triage?
What practices or resources have you used for software issue triage?

It seems to me that different parties bring different motivations when they communicate on software issues. The reporting party is motivated to have their issue fixed, but the triaging party needs to decide how that work fits into whatever engineering/time/budget constraints.

There is also a sort of mismatch between information needs. To make a decision, the triager wants unambiguous diagnostic info. On the other hand, the reporter wants high-level ETA on a fix or visibility on the priority.

What approaches have you taken for effective triage communication? Are there any lessons from medical triage that you've found applies to software?
How is this any different from MTR's line of products?[1]

And given that MTR's products cost just $2.50 per pack where I currently live, $24 isn't exactly cheap. I haven't tasted your product, but I have tasted the MTR ones and they seem pretty authentic. And MTR being a very old, traditional brand, it's as authentic as it gets. Would love to hear about your differentiation strategy.

Local still needs to live somewhere

Local buys an equivalent house to the one they sold for $500k + transaction fees, which scale based on the price of the house

Local has less money than when they started
Ha! I should have said the technique works. I'd obviously want to lay things out a little smaller on phone screens. Though, for that particular use, is just punt and say not supported on smaller screens.

Note, I couldn't just do an image because of the animation nonsense I was playing with.

Edit: though, oddly, I think you are really complaining about some of the styling I inherited from org. I can possibly fix that easily enough. Never tried. Pretty sure I can just swap out a "width" with "max-width" and things will reflow as desired. For my eyes on my phone, the current width was fine. I didn't bother checking why it killed reflow. But I can confirm it reflows as desired on desktop if I do that.
Every successful business deal done in concert with a given dictator entrenches that dictator's power. Some other commenter demonstrated the technique elsewhere in this discussion: "but the dictators have lifted so many Chinese people out of poverty!"

Through this deal, YC is taking an active position in support of the Chinese dictatorship and is helping them increase their grip on power.
X is also a protocol. It's what allows ancient clients to still render onto modern X servers.
> This is such a craven, capitalist dogma response.

You are entitled to your opinion, but there is something to be said about proponents of the left who feel the need to argue emotionally rather than objectively.

> They are devoting an irreplaceable fraction of their life to the company. A large fraction of that time is spent learning the company's unique culture, social networks, processes, technology, history, etc. All of that value is lost when they change jobs.

And a large fraction of the company's time is also spent teaching the company's unique culture, social networks, processes, technology, history, etc. All compensated for of course, and lost when the employee changes jobs.

>When you work for a company, you have a very material investment in your long-term employment because the value of much of your previous time investment evaporates if you change jobs.

The company owes you long term employment as much as you owe the company your long term labour. Nothing is owed, nothing is done out of favour. If a worker deems their salary and options vesting to be fair compensation for their potential time investment then they take the job. Taking the job is not a favour to the company and the company is not hiring the worker out of altruism. It's simply a mutually beneficial relationship. The second that relationship is no longer mutually beneficial, either party is free to terminate the relationship.

> Also, many workers move to work for a specific company. The area may have few other similar opportunities. Switching jobs means moving away from friends and family, selling a house (and taking a significant financial hit from the transaction), uprooting your children from their school, etc.

A company cannot be responsible for all of an employee's future job prospects, family life, and fiscal decisions. It cannot be responsible for which areas have job opportunities and which areas do not. All it can do is offer a value proposition which the employee is free to turn down should they not find it palatable.

> Do you really believe that? How many entrepreneurs actually risk their own well-being? If you have $100 million dollars and end up losing $90m on a venture, you're comfortably still set for life. Maybe you have to sell one of your boats.

Why shouldn't I actually believe that? Do you actually believe that every entrepreneur starts off with $100 million dollars? Or is it more likely that they take 100k out of their savings and mortgage their house?

> In the US, you risk dying from lack of insurance coverage.

Another reason why starting one's own business is a risky proposition and should be properly compensated beyond that of the common worker.

Education benefits but degree mills whether Asia, America or Europe don't benefit much. And this is increasingly common.
In the even earlier days, software fit on floppy disks. And it absolutely could be downloaded over a modem - it took about 1 hour to download 1MB over a 2400 baud modem, not much longer than going to the store.

The problem was that you couldn't convince consumers to pay for software downloaded over a modem. (The infrastructure wasn't in place anyway - nobody was going to send their credit card number unencrypted to a random BBS sysop, and encryption was outlawed as a munition.) Many software firms in fact had huge problems with piracy over modem, and would build copy-protection into their software so you needed the original physical disk to run the software.

The idea that you could pay for a license key that unlocks software you download over the Internet only happened in the early 2000s, driven by combination of remaining restrictions on encryption being dropped, easy-to-integrate payment solutions for webpages coming to market, and widespread broadband adoption meaning that most consumers could easily download a big file.
> Who are these founders who have grown "a couple" of unicorns?

His comment said “people” not “founders”. Plenty of c-level execs have grown multiple unicorns. Plenty of employees have worked at multiple unicorns in the early stages.
I can't speak for all colleges, but most of the top colleges in the US do not need to charge tuition at all to make ends meet, regardless of the rising administrative costs. They mostly charge tuition because 1. most other sources of money are earmarked for other purposes, and 2. it's good for rankings and admission purposes to charge very high tuition and also offer large financial aid packages to some subset of entering students.
Just curious, is the decision to keep everything vegan tied to the 5 minute requirement?
In many countries, property taxes are local and don't go to schools (which have funding from income taxes i.e. from the state).

So it's not like the foreign investors are beneficial in any way, besides maybe paying their bit of water/electricity/police costs (and if they only pay their share, then why bother accomodating all the volatility to house prices they bring?)

luxury units can create affordability immediately.

if 100 thousand luxury units suddenly came online at a cost of 1.5M each

Here are a few possible outcomes:
1) 100K people can afford them and decide to move from their current homes into the luxury homes. Homes that were 1.5m get downward pressure. As every level moves up it puts downward pricing pressure on the level below. Luxury housing will impact entry level housing if enough is built.

2) 100K people choose to not buy the new luxury housing
a) the owners go bankrupt and the price of the luxury housing goes down. Then see 1)
b) the owners lower the price of the new luxury housing. then see 1

The point is that any inventory puts downward pricing pressure on existing inventory.

You generally don't see the effect so obviously because the new supply of luxury housing rarely keeps up with demand in hot markets. You can see the impact in flat markets where new housing dries up demand for existing houses such that agents recommend you not buy existing homes in areas that are being actively developed.
