I don’t think camping and sleeping under bridges are dangerous or harming others. I’m confused how this example shows your point, since your point is about dangerous people, and I’m not sure if people who sleep under bridges are necessarily dangerous.

Duuuuude(gender neutral)!!! I love going to Toronto and Montreal both! A very good friend of mine is Torontian, and I've spent a lot of time there and around Ontario and Quebec.

Then, let's take the word "The Word" back :-)
Ask HN: Why salaries are not going up?
I work in the south of France, for the past year and a half I have been hearing that engineers and software developers are missing and companies have been unable to fill roles for months and months.

Yet, I don't see any significant raise in the salaries I'm being offered (2 years experience 40'000€ for 40 hour week), if the companies are so desperate to find developers why aren't they making their offers more attractive? Or am I missing something ?
Hosting things on their own infrastructure is very popular for large companies. They tend to take security a lot more serious that the average startup.
I often lament that the kind of empowerment things like Visual Basic --and before it QBasic, BASICA, and the 8-bit micro BASICs-- brought us pretty much no longer exists in modern computing. Allowing people to easily build their own tools to solve their own problems is a big part of what personal computing is all about as far as I'm concerned, and there's just no effort put into it today.

Even on something like Linux, which you'd think would have a community favorable of the concept, you instead have a bunch of elitists declaring that only professional C greybeards should even be allowed to change the background color.

They are not mutually exclusive. It should be trivial to offer the data as either JSON or XML at the user's request.

It's not hard to construct a "multi agent" version of the prisoners dilemma, in which only one prisoner defecting would cause every prisoner to defect.
I feel like the best takeaway here is that XML is a document format, and JSON is for programmatic interchange, e.g. APIs. That's at least how I operate, and I use both XML and JSON for various things. My APIs are all JSON, but if I'm serialising some data to disk, or for export etc, it's usually XML.
This is just not true, it may be a factor but it's not the "only". What you have in many cases is simple market pressure: kick out the residents and transform nearly every house in the city centre into a hostel/airbnb because renting to tourists rakes you in much more money. Now residents either pay 3x 4x the price they did, or they abandon the city centre for good, leaving it little more than a playground for tourists.

I'd recommend turmeric instead of curicumin and to not take melatonin but I'm happy you are feeling better, so whatever works for you.
That experience is not restricted to "3rd world". I think what you describe could be simply called "class differences".

Even what we now call 1st world countries had incredible poverty some 60 years back and it's not so long back, even if the face of poverty has recently changed from lack of opportunity to lack of achievement.

Up to 1980's, in the Finnish welfare state where I grew up, you would see men who slept in trash boxes through the -30°C winter nights. Men broken by war, alcohol and unemployment. Some women, too. With the minds, bodies and experiences they had, they did not have opportunity for anything better.
The culture is totally different. Gender roles in Japan are much more defined. Especially growing up in the US and moving to Japan, I think it would be hard -- regardless of gender. For example, young men have to get their career going in their early 20s and often are stressed out to the max. Young women, on the other hand have a lot more options. Like I said, it's just different.

To answer your question, I'd have no problem raising children of any gender here. I also really like the school system, which I found a lot better than what I grew up with in Canada. Again, very different -- you need to know where you are going by the time you are applying to high school, but then the kids are raised to understand that.

I don't really know what to tell you. Usually people from one culture have aspects of it that they think are really good. Other people from other cultures may actually have a completely different point of view of it. In some ways women in the US (and Canada) are in a situation where it's actually difficult to take on the same role that their mothers or grandmothers did. I've had American colleagues lecture Japanese students about how they absolutely should not waste their lives with the goal of being a stay at home care taker. When I asked those same colleagues if they would say the same thing to a boy who wanted to be a stay at home care giver, they said "Of course not" -- apparently not aware of the double standard.

This is the kind of culture clash that I see, especially between American people and Japanese people. Both sides see their point of view as being absolutely correct. For Japanese women, feminism is generally considered to be a dirty word. It's not that they don't want fair treatment, but they find the way that it is pushed as being completely alien to their culture -- to the point of being morally wrong.

Long story short, a Japanese girl does not have the same values as an American girl. Neither does a Japanese boy have the same values as an American boy. And while both sides will defend their moral choices, they are dramatically different. If you raise your children in Japan to be Japanese they will generally be happy -- I rarely see unhappy children where I live (male or female). The same goes in America. Mix and match? That's where you can get into a lot of trouble.

I hope that answers your question. It's a super difficult one to answer because there are a lot of unspoken assumptions. In many ways Japanese culture is literally morally wrong when taken in the context of American view points. The opposite is also true, as hard as it is for both sides to recognise. I'm in the middle where I can see and understand both, but it's hard to respond to questions (from either side) without evoking hatred. The one thing that American culture and Japanese culture has in common is that they are both intensely moral cultures. There is a right and a wrong and very little middle ground. The problem is that what's right and what's wrong is often very different.

Sounds like a smart man. Just because it isn't safe doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Just do it with caution.
True, but compared to game console backward-compatibility or that you often have to recompile things to get them to work between linux distros made the same year, Windows is pretty damn good about backwards compatibility.
Would you eat ‘meat’ from a lab?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. This tepid references to we can't disclose anything 'because security' is circular logic. Casting aspersions without evidence is a fundamental abuse of due process and basic standards of jurisprudence. It is a witch hunt.

Are we to assume only Russia, China and Iran are running ops and others are innocent sheep? This is like 'villain of the month'. If they truly have the capability bring out all the evidence and identify all patterns of such behavior so people are aware of astroturfing not only by other governments but also their own government and other vested interests.

This is a dangerous game of spreading FUD and poisons the well. Without ironclad evidence it demonizes dissent, diversity, alternative opinions and with it informed discussion. And legitimizes censorship.
Building skyscrapers is simply not an option for many places, such as many European city centres.

..in your opinion. But in reality the current system doesn't work and needs constant massive bailouts and public funding R&D to just barely operate for the minority..

The entire point of the current economic system is to motivate the masses to enrich the few. If the motivation goes away then maybe people will work to enrich their own lives.
I have a Ledger Nano S that I use for cryptocurrency and it does basically this. It won't sign transactions unless you approve them from the device, and the little screen on the device shows the address(es) to which you're sending.

https://www.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-s

It's $100, which is probably too much for your average user, but cheap enough that it's got to be feasible for a U2F kind of thing in a few years.

I guess even the addition of the screen, though, kind of necessitates using a cord so you can see that screen, which makes it less clean than my Yubikey Nano (which is far less obtrusive). But I think we're getting closer.

It's often not that they're really trying to screw the vendor, but that their cash flow doesn't allow immediate payment.

A lot of commercial invoices have payment terms like "2/10, net 30" meaning you can take a 2% discount if you pay within 10 days. The cost of not taking this deal is an effective 35% annualized interest rate, so it's a big incentive to pay early, assuming your cash flow allows it.

One aspect about JSON is the lack of comments. This makes it mostly unsuitable as a configuration language and in fact simple "JSON for humans" such as https://hjson.org/ and https://json5.org/ exist. In my opinion, this is a design flaw and if JSON would be a bit more human-oriented, it could be much more widespread in non-web contexts.

>Then by all means, meet that demand and everyone wins. That's lost profit for the builders, architects, and potential tax revenue too.

Yeah, "lost profit", the cardinal evil. Sure, everybody wins, except the poor devils that make less than 100k and can't afford housing anymore. But who cares about them? Profit profit profit!

The truth is public policies should seek to maximise social gain. It's not their fucking job to enter into considerations about some people's profits.

PS: it doesn't make economic sense to waste money doing proper waste management when you can just dump your poison in the river, nevertheless we legislate that businesses must do the former.
I agree with most of your ideas, and I usually apply them myself. But wanted to ask about graphics and charts, do you use any specific tool? They can be time-consuming to get right and update.

Also, I believe a problem here is that on large organizations and codebases many programmers don't really understand themselves the relationships/interactions between systems, or people setting the standards think overviews are hard to standardize, or they think other people think documentation is a pain to write so they try to minimize the work needed to get it "right".

EDIT: came up with a better way to put it: documentation should deal with what a system does, why and where, then how it achieves so in a broad sense, and finally deal with the implementation details (which is the only part we are kinda handling nowadays, as you explained).
Throwing rigor and the scientific method out of the window and relying on "everybody knows that" can not be the solution, so we will keep getting results that some people think are obvious. The difference is that what was an assumption before will be actual knowledge thereafter.

It's great that it allows it.

The problem is that a lot of users don't want to admit that they are not competent to decide whether the app truly needs those permissions or not.

Why do we keep a newswire database that stores these things before being published? Why don't companies and officials not hold on to these documents themselves?

You could say newswire are better at protecting, but the companies who write the press releases will likely have a copy stores both before and after it enters newswire

Can you elaborate on what you'd consider fair? Or do you think it would be acceptable to allow trading on inside information in the current system?

The only fair system I can imagine (fairer than the status quo by my estimation) would be complete transparency updated on a continual basis. But I can imagine it would be difficult to keep that up while making productive business relationships.

In your opinion what do you think of the abundance? In my opinion this abundance is nice to be kept aside for tough days but should not be used/exposed on a day to day basis.

I too am an Indian and I see not only the well off but even the middle to lower middle class who look at the well off and set the standards based on them. So many of them buy so many useless stuff and waste a lot be it food or some other material things.
Having a system to enriches the few who don't need more wealth reinforced by impoverishing the many is better than chattel slavery and worse than a system which offers real choice and ownership of ones labor.

We often get lost in the verbosity of textbooks and the amount of information bombarded at us that we fail to realize how primitive and simple the steps to discovering scientific knowledge were and how many centuries it took to compile this information into something we sort of understand today. Had we learned the science with this conscience in mind we would not only have taken the science with healthier doubt but also kept our own eyes open to find possibilities of deviations and reasons to make further discovery.
I spend a good bit of time in Bangkok and AirBnb is excellent - there's an (over)abundance of luxury condos available for $25 per night.

> what is the primary motivation

After a while, all hotels kind of blend into each other. With AirBnB it feels more like assimilating than visiting - you're living where the locals live. Plus each place you stay at comes with its own personality.

Plus while hotels are often confined to a particular part of town, I can get an AirBnb is some obscure part of the city to use as a launchpad for exploring.

In the "negative" example (non curable cancer) there is a huge difference:

1) living from 62 to 66 blissfully unaware of it (and thus at least living peacefully these 4 years)

2) living from 62 to 66 in a extremely preoccupied status and possibly with the side effets of the (ending up as ineffective) cures

Though in many cases of non-early diagnosis there is the "regret" about "if it had been diagnosed earlier then it would have been probably curable" which may (or may not) be an aggravation of the quality of life in the last 4 years (66-70).

Tough to say what is better for the unfortunate patient.
Digital Transformation – You Are Ready?
From the abstract of the paper: http://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0435-1

> The transition frequency at a field of 1.033 tesla was determined to be 2,466,051.7 ± 0.12 gigahertz (1σ uncertainty) and agrees with the prediction for hydrogen to a precision of 5E−8.

I.E. It's the same for all practical purposes, but there may be a extremely tiny difference.

Edit: Comparing the numbers with the results for Hydrogen in an article someone else linked here

Anti-Hydrogen: 2,466,051.7 ± 0.12 GHz
(Normal)-Hydrogen: 2,466,061.413187035(10) GHz

So they measure a tiny difference, and looking at the error estimations the difference is significative. I'm not sure if that is an expected difference or a unexpected difference or just an error in the experiment.

It's not at all difficult to get well-paid and ambitious people to join a union. The Screen Actors' guild represents people who are as ambitious as, and far better paid than, the hottest tech superstars.

What amazes me is, for how curious tech workers tend to be about, say, new frameworks or languages or whatever, they're so amazingly incurious when it comes to talk of unions--and in fact not just incurious, but so willing to repeat stuff that just isn't true.
It could be outsourcing, but also could be consulting. I have an impression (and no way backed by data), that half jobs around here are not direct employee but people working for a consulting company, even tho they're 100% daily working for a client.

But even those consulting companies are having issues getting new developers but don't seem to be getting their salaries much higher.

I doubt it's anywhere near that simple. The EU, being a loose confederation of independent countries that had all been doing their own things for a very long time before joining up, has a wildly heterogeneous legal environment.

Even in a single country like the US, whether a EULA will be considered enforceable depends heavily on a plethora of factors, including what court the case is being tried in.
