I haven't seen US economy this versatile and powerful in a long time, maybe since the 80s. This economy is diversified - manufacturing jobs used to be 32% in the 60s, now it is around 9% currently, but it is growing fast this year. We now have new jobs in every sectors growing, from finance (NY), college (Boston), healthcare (east coast), government (Washington DC), entertainment (Los Angeles), oil and gas (Texas), import/export (Cali/Florida), tourism (Florida), agriculture (flyover), and of course, tech (Silicon Valley, Seattle). And each industry is evenly distributed and growing. Thus the low unemployment rate and wage increases (higher in industries with higher demands)

US has gone through lots of challenges (globalization, gas/oil crisis, 9/11, cold war) in the last 50 years, and has come out on top every time.

4% growth is huge for the largest economy in the world, and the economy is nearly double the size of the closest competitor country. Bay Area alone is nearly a trillion dollar economy, and has double the growth rate of any other county in US.

Coupled with the flooding of capital back to US via the reduced expatriation tax rate, US is firing on all cylinders.
I wish this was more common here in the States, but it just isn't there. It's becoming more and more difficult for adults to disagree without slinging insults at and hating the opponent. We're an incredibly politically divided country right now and political beliefs are held as immutable core parts of our identities instead of strongly held beliefs subject to change, so people who disagree with you are considered to be attacking your identity.
From looking at the salary spreadsheet, it looks like they are paid about average. To think that anyone should accept a much lower salary than thier market value on the tiny hope of striking it rich is crazy. Every employee of a non public company should always consider only the cash compensation.

This reads like a grievance. I can't tell.

Would you prefer a different TLD or do you think your work should be more flexible?
I'm 47. There were computer camps and clubs when I was a kid. They probably took a downturn, though, as computing went mainstream and turned into consumption of video games and, later, online socializing.

Maybe you were either too late, or too early, depending on perspective. :)
Yes but if the primary argument is based around the idea that everyone must have access to these “public channels” because their first amendment rights guarantee them a right to the information from the President and to be part of the conversation then a plausible argument can be made that Twitter, etc. cannot ban anyone from their site, or Facebook for that matter since Trump also uses it as a public forum. Even Nazis get their first amendment rights.

Furthermore this opens the door for a President to turn any private space into a “public forum” by using it for official government business.

The whole amicus just opens a Pandora’s box and would likely be struck down if the President cared enough to challenge it. It benefits Trump more to let this ruling stand as he attempts to muscle Twitter, Facebook, etc. into changing the hate speech rules they use to suspend conservative accounts.
... and break things, the part I never understood, but they sure as hell are following it.

And Mongo isn't even faster for development either while it's far harder to optimize and by default insecure.
Oh come on. This was a comment that identified a general attitude towards authority and security in Australia. Fear of terrorism is used to justify both surveillance laws and, at some level, the xenophobia behind "we will decide" immigration policy. Social/political roots trace back to establishment as a penal colony.
It's probably using Google custom search. I think that's the only way you can actually get Google search results as an API.

Perhaps custom search displays differing results?
There are way too many commenting as if a profitable business is actually a negative thing.
I am in Vietnam. Here are the problems:

Addresses here are written like "220/9 xo viet nghe tinh", which means "go to 220 on Xo Viet Nghe Tinh and turn into the alley there, go to #9 in the alley".

Typing "220/9 xo viet nghe tinh" into OSM results in "No results found". Instead I have to write "hem 220/9 xo viet nghe tinh" for it to find the road; no one writes it that way.

A house address would be "220/9/14 xo viet nghe tinh" meaning "go to 220 on Xo Viet Nghe Tinh and turn into the alley there; go to #9 and turn into the next alley you find there; then go to house #14".

The only way OSM can figure things out is if I write it like "14 hem 220/9 xo viet nghe tinh"
In this case, the driver is already reported in another misbehaving. But Didi still allows the driver to take more passengers.

Most Chinese people are not boycotting the Rideshare as a way of transportation, they are claiming Didi is not working effectively in this case.

“You can use this application to order Texas Vital Records online including:
Birth Certificate or Verification”

Note the .gov website, they don’t let random hobos create valid birth certificates. Now, they don’t require a government agent in the room for the birth, and their are cases where certificates may have been gotten under false pretenses. But, nonetheless this is US government issued.

PS: The core issue is many births occurs outside of hospitals, and that’s not going to change any time soon. http://healthland.time.com/2012/01/19/baby-born-while-mom-is...
Discovered this app quite by accident a number of years ago, and after eyeing its competition, settled on this one to recommend to people.

It did exactly one thing well that I wanted: it looked at my current location and gave me ETAs for all of the nearby lines, MUNI, BART, whatever it was I might need. At the time I was mulling my own ideas about an app, more or less like this, but it dropped from my considerations once I discovered this app.

It's been a more consistent companion than my choice of web browsers, mail clients, search engines, note apps, operating systems or whatever, and I've pretty much never felt any need to actually replace it.

Some apps just do one thing and do it very well. Kudos to Transit app.
With that said, it can also have the opposite effect. Success in online interactions at such an age gave me the confidence I needed to be successful in irl interactions.
Not when they make wave after wave after wave of accounts to assail you with.
It’s as if the idea of working for a company that’s profitable, pays market rates, and may pay a bonus to it’s employees out of its profits is blasphemous....

Lol. Do you have no self awareness? In a post, where it talks about trying to be more open to conservative viewpoints, you imply that the default reason to support border security is racism? This is exactly the line of thinking that causes people elsewhere in the thread to comment that they rarely meet conservatives. If someone is in an environment where they have to argue just to prove they are not racist, why bother?
Meh indeed.
Woah - very cool! I'm a part of Hack Club (https://hackclub.com), which is a nonprofit worldwide network of high school coding clubs. Hack Club has an amazing community of young developers - I actually lead a Hack Club at my high school, and I definitely recommend that you join their slack (https://hackclub.com/slack_invite) to connect with other young makers!

By the way, I'm a 17 year-old developer (https://shamdasani.org), but I probably started ~14. My main project is Enlight (https://enlight.nyc) to teach others to code by building projects. If you'd like to contribute, that would be awesome - feel free to shoot me an email :)
OT, but kind of interesting - Xe, one of the 'inert' gases you've listed, is a remarkably effective and safe general anesthetic as well as a cardio- and neuroprotective agent for some kinds of ischemic events [1].

Still a little weird to those of us who studied chemistry when the 'noble gases' were famously reluctant to mingle.

+1 to at least familiarizing yourself with PUA culture and literature. Ignore the people who say it’s shady. Ignore the bad advice to “just be yourself and one day magic will happen.” If you want to learn a skill (meeting women) where you have no inherent talent, then you have to study and practice. It’s like any sport. Some people have natural talent but most people are no good. The more you practice and learn, the better you will get.

I'm glad they're still doing well in Newfoundland. I always enjoyed spotting them on the small island next to Cape Bonavista Lighthouse.
true "communism" as a demand or requirement or ideology has existed for a long time, but I agree it has never been attained.

Every concept or value that is in substantial demand will be abused to justify the most horrible things for power and profit. This is true for desirable traits or ideologies of systems such as: freedom, egalitarianism, democracy, anarchism ...

From the perspective of crook/opressor/... take your plan, and slap on it whatever concept is in vogue at the timme and place you find yourself...

When did I change the definition of "communism" in an "ad hoc" sense? The "No True Scotsman" trope requires the person commiting the fallacy to change or revert his definition in some ad hoc sense...

I agree, and find the argument kinda funny, but is twitter really that?

You can make a new account or even ghost it to see it, not like its truly barring a user.
Note that I didn't suggest that I thought she'd only judge me on looks. I also was not a doctor or lawyer, and I didn't have the social skills of a politician.

Fundamentally, rejection hurts. The more you get rejected, the more it hurts, because you can no longer excuse it as being about the other person. Recovering from a rejection can take years.
That's great to know, thank you. Eager to try 1.10!
I find it interesting that even super alturistic communist animals seem to converge to having a nominated leader. It's seems fragile to me but biology is telling us primary elections are a reasonable solution to distributed control.
On a side note, cool to see Uruguayans at the top of HN. Sorry it's under this circumstances.

Congrats on your Stackoverflow job :)

You wouldn't happen to have any recommendations for hiring web-devs here in Uruguay for a small startup? It's CRAZY HARD.
People who work at companies that use slack don’t have a choice.
They're so different that's it's very hard to say. The LSD peak lasts 2-6 hours, depending on the dose. Effects trail off gradually after that. Marijuana intensifies them dramatically, however, and produces something like a secondary peak. And short-term memory gets totally nuked, which can be very frightening. So I don't recommend that, unless you have an experienced friend around.

Anyway, I've never stayed awake long enough (without redosing or taking some other drug) to tell when LSD effects become imperceptible. Effects are pretty much gone after 6-8 hours sleep. But the next day, or even the next week or two, you can clearly feel some effect. There's also transient tolerance.

I don't have much experience with MDMA. I was never very impressed with the visuals. I liked the body vibes, albeit too much like amphetamines. It's great for dancing and intimate sex, as everyone knows. And yes, the effects don't last for more than several hours, unless you take a lot and/or redose.
Right. And supposedly, you can buy for a non-ludicrous amount for up to a mile away.
I think it's really dangerous to choose to take Slack's message seriously here. I've been working on a WebExtension recently [0] at my university that's entire existence is staked on continuing to improve on platforms that are slow moving, and to tie together platforms that otherwise wouldn't talk to each other for political reasons.

A company making the case that their Terms of Service or definition of Acceptable Use applies to users manipulating the data that is sent once it is in the user's browser is a terrible way to go. We should always have the tools and the means to add features and change the display format of data being sent to us.

Orchard Supply Hardware and the Mediocrity of Millionaires
I think this is accurate but politics swirl around it or are used as smokescreens. For example I followed Net Neutrality quite closely and it was not initially painted as partisan, until the FCC realized that by calling NN an "Obama-era regulation" they could dogwhistle some republicans over to their side and make it seem like a traditionally partisan issue. (For some reason news sites played along and used this term all over the place.) But this all happened midway through the process as they cast around for justifications for what was really regulatory capture.
The PUA literature gets a bad rap as scummy but at its core it’s plain old skill development: study, practice, have a plan, execute, review, repeat. This isn’t a Disney movie where magic is required. Just hard work and dedicated study / practice time.
Perhaps, but the engineering of physical goods is a poor analogy to software, considering the relative ease of changing things in software if you decide they aren't working.
Strange organization here. If we look at ex08 for instance, there is a test.c file and an accompanying "binary_tree.h" header. This header declares some functions like "visit_tree", but they are not found in that subdirectory. Why would the declaration of the binary tree library be located together with the test module, but the implementation be elsewhere.

Much of this stuff is not related to Unix, too.
I don't think the point was that cab murders were high, just that both were low, so the whole freak out is probably not rational.

The "heard of often" just means it gets plastered on the news / social media when it does happen.
The argument in the First Amendment is that the Government cannot limit the right to access those public channels. If the paper mill union thinks that your opinions are abhorrent, they can refuse to sell you paper. Even if the Government demands that all communication be written.

Otherwise, because you can reach the Government by phone, you logic would mean phone companies are not allow to cut you the service for not paying it.

I'm only vaguely familiar with the Kardashian name, assumed your peers would be other males and thought CK was a male brand. Quoted your comment to a friend referencing social media peer pressure, and they said:

"Is this men or women posing? [..] the language about models and comparison to the Kardashians... and also the contempt... make me think they're talking about women."

When I questioned it:

"I mean, you have to admit, speaking with that kind of contempt about /men/ is a tad less common"

And then shows me that CK does clothes for women, there are no (living) male Kardashians of note, and the Kardashian women have done a CK photoshoot.

I don't know what to make of this, except you might want to know you're apparently telegraphing "contempt for women" loudly enough for it to come through on a second hand reading.
No, I wasn't being sarcastic. Seeing a friend run off the road while riding, and almost killed, and having people stop and blame them for the accident, generates lots of anger. I know, because I've been there. And I've also been run off the road myself, more than once.

So anyway, does that equate to "deserve it"? Maybe not, upon calm reflection. But sometimes shit just gets out of hand. I am, of course, sympathetic for everyone involved.

Orion Magazine – Deep Intellect
Yeah, look, frankly, I am pretty popular among my friends. I'll acknowledge that. But I don't like social media because I'm getting a tonne of engagement with everything I post, or because I pull 300 likes on my newest profile picture, etc.

I like it because it helps me meet up with people in person, reach out to those who I wouldn't otherwise be in contact with, and see the passions, opinions and activities of my friends and peers.
I struggle to code in a timely manner, and I'm often wondering whether I'm too slow or the world is too fast. I don't think I'm an incompetent coder, and I don't believe I'm stupid, but I'm convinced that it takes me a lot longer to build something than other people I know. It's not that I'm not trying, but I'd rather not rush into problems. It's unclear whether this makes me a bad software engineer since I've been both rewarded and punished for this trait.

The economy is growing but it doesn't appear to actually be flowing back into most citizens pockets. The unemployment rate is very low but wages aren't rising.

Anecdotally, I am seeing more help wanted signs on retail and restaurants near me, but my friends who work those jobs are moving _farther_ away from work due to increasing rent without increasing pay. That doesn't seem sustainable

It's incredibly unreasonable. Economists roughly classify markets as monopoly (single seller), oligopoly (few, powerful sellers), and competitive markets. We are talking about a monopoly that's sort of close to being an oligopoly. A more accurate term would be "just barely not as far as possible from competitive".
health issues and keeping up with tech.
Yes. And there's the inherent problem in arguing with analogies.

Here's another analogy:

"This car seats twice as many people, and accelerates twice as fast, but sadly will require twice as much motor oil when it's time for an oil change. We could have optimized and improved the car's design, but you would have had to wait two more months and it would've added $10,000 to the unit cost. It would've been madness to do."

We could sit here all day arguing about which analogy captures the actual situation correctly, or we could just talk about the actual situation.

You should really be configuring your AWS security groups for the proper inbound/outbound ports. So a failure at that basic level of even opening up access to the machine so fully. You actually have to whitelist everything to be open like that.
Good stuff. Makes me wonder how many programmers still think of pre-C++11, and all the tropes of what's wrong with the older form of the language, when they opt for using other languages like Java. SMH.
Love the usability / intuitiveness of this app. My only qualm is that the drag down to go back isn't _always_ available.. for example, if I select a "Ford GoBike" location, I have to tap the "X" in the top right to go back, which is a bit of a reach on an iPhone. But that's pretty minor complaint.
> If, as seems to be the case today, almost nobody gives credence to their ideas, then we just let them make fools of themselves, kind of like how no one minds David Icke's claims about how the British royal family are secretly reptilians from outer space.

Is that really the same though? The key differences as I see them: 1) History. Racism has been taught for many years (for a long time "scientifically proven"). I'm guessing Icke's views are rather new. The leads to 2) Cultural relevancy. There are plenty of racist people out there, each generation teaching the next. I'm not sure how many people believe that about the royal family, but I'm guessing not as many. This matters because 3) Racists are harmful. Unless Icke is about to break into the palace to prove his theory, he seems pretty harmless. We can leave him alone to make a fool of himself. Discrimination and hate crimes are not things I want to leave alone, I'd like them to end.

> I would actually question the notion that these groups are growing in size and influence.

While size may be debatable, I think influence is less so. The data I've seen says hate crimes are up in numbers. The president refuses to call these groups terrorists. Social media is filled with their propaganda and troll mobs. This doesn't feel like a group that is losing power or influence.
