Edit: Sorry, skipped the home ownership part. Berlin's real estate market is currently too hot right now. In Munich it's the same - I know some millionaires who couldn't afford homes (with more m2) for their families there. It's generally better to rent for yourself and buy a home as an investment (you get tax breaks and the tenant basically pays the mortgage).

Can vouch for Berlin, too. In Berlin Mitte near Alexanderplatz there are great apartments for approx. $2k/month (around 60m2). It's one of the more expensive areas, but I think it's better for young families who want a calm place.

You will make way less money, though. $5-7k/month should be possible. At SAP you can make $10k/month after some years. But in general it isn't really comparable to US salaries.

For the lang. barrier: Most people speak english and there are many coffee shops where 80% of the employees can only speak english.

Alternatively: I heard that Zurich also pays good, but that the people are not too social and it can be hard to build a social circle there.
I use high CBD tincture 25:1 and a sleep tincture composed of about 30% indica thc/cbd and the rest non addictive herbs.

I have a lot of pain and am unable to dissociate from it enough to sleep until I’m completely exhausted which several nights a week meant no sleep or just a few hours. These tinctures along with another pain medication (extremely low dose naltrexone, no side effects except better sleep for me) allow me to get a very good nights sleep 80-90% of the time which was a significant improvement in quality of life.

Give it a try if you are having no luck elsewhere!
I am living in Thailand and the elevator close buttons definitely work here. If you don't press it the door can stay open for a very long time.
None of us have the time to do this with every book. It's not a bad idea to skim every book that looks interesting (I do it in about an hour and end up with a couple pages of high-level notes), then decide which books are worth active reading.

Given the ultimate success of the site can you argue with the CEO? It never had a reputation for unreliability the way Twitter had in its early days.

oh, here the knowledge of German doesn't matter - an individual consumer is a pariah with obligatory 2 years contract. One should certainly avoid English speaking landlords in Berlin though.
Seattle is expensive, but not near as much as SF.

I actually think here is one of the best places to leave. You can find SV level paychecks, no income tax, and housing for half of the price!

I have the exact same symptom and solution. Well, not the dwarf part... but I'll imagine myself doing something, like riding a rollercoaster for example. I think about every hill and movement, how the wheels are engaging with the track, the hydraulics squeezing to stop the car at the end, etc. Thinking carefully about all of these details takes my mind away from reality and into my imagination, which is where my dreams begin.
Contrarian thought: if/when the tech bubble bursts, there's suddenly going to be 1000s of companies laying off software engineers in Silicon Valley, who will all be furiously competing for what jobs remain. By comparison, working in IT at a non-SV/not-pure-tech company, in a town with lots of other non-tech companies, would be much better insurance.
The problems you describe aren't black money problems. These are problems related to overall demand and supply situations of the RE market, and in general the every day economic situation in India. They won't go away anytime soon because, urbanization trends have just started and almost everyone wants to come to cities for jobs.

Also don't forget bulk of India is poor with high birth rates, so you will have these problems for several decades may be even till the end of this century.

Bangalore alone gets hundreds if not thousands of people coming in every day. With that sort of demand, you can't run a housing market and supply homes at a cheap price. Nor will you be able to run a pure bank/electronic transaction based market. The reason for that is that the base infrastructure for such an economic ecosystem isn't ready. Even in Bangalore you have several hour long power cuts. And that is Bangalore. The rural centers have it way worse.

In all this your every day people, every one from street vegetable suppliers to cement and paint vendors for RE have to work seamlessly. That means 'cash' will be exchanged. Also merely cash being exchanged doesn't make it black.

Ultimately if you are buying cement, paint, steel, bath fittings etc. You are paying white money only, because it goes to registered and tax accounted compaies. Plus you can't buy a flat in any city from a medium and above builder in cash. No one accepts it. And yes, if you are buying a flat for 2 crores, you need to go in for a loan, which comes from a bank, so there is accountability at another layer. And registrations requires PAN, there you have door for audit open.

Another hard thing to come to terms with regards to Indian RE market is people invest in lands decades in Advance, These are not necessarily rich people, these are your ordinary businessmen, shop keepers, salaried masses. In Bangalore, outskirts lands are bought out like >20 years in advance for chicken feed prices, when the demand grows and people come to settle they are faced with impossible prices because investors have long bought the lands. Or they have to rent at exorbitant rates. Real estate is another of things where people with long term vision and enterprise to spend time physically, have a disproportionate edge over those who don't.

I have seen even top managers with top salaries end up with extremely bitter feelings and deep resentment towards common folks on the streets because the latter had the sense to buy lands some 20 years in advance and are now worth 20x more than the manager, despite the managers having 1000x a better career than them.

These problems are not going to go anytime soon.

And lastly even in the middle of DeMo prices didn't move in Bangalore. People who tossed around opportunities to buy flats at 50L-60L in 2008-2010 thinking they will buy in the crash period, were in for a big shock that prices are 1.2Cr-1.5Cr and the market didn't crash either.

The only way to win the RE game is to enter early and play. Come late or don't play you lose by default.

San Francisco turns to simple solutions that underscore the city’s complexities
That sounds really similar to what I often do. I often start picturing a tree, then I force one transition and feel like I let the brain switch images without my involvement.

It's really hard to describe it but here is a simplified example.

Tree -> zoom into the leaves which are actually a field of grass -> there is a small pond -> pond is now growing -> I see a sky now -> random colors and shapes are showing up... And it keeps on going and I don't even notice when I fall asleep.

Bad Actors is a misnomer: They are Writers of Evil, or Spreaders of Hatespeech.
I also do something similar. Just count (1, 2, 1, 2..) on each breath for as long as I can. When I stop counting I know I've either become distracted or fell asleep. Focusing on one thing ironically (such as counting) tends to be better than letting my mind completely relax (where then it will latch onto any topic it finds).

Ask HN: Where to live during YC Core?
My cofounder lives permanently in SF with his family.

If we participate in YC, where is a good place for me, as a solo renter, to live for 3 months?

Don’t most places require yearly contracts and background checks?

I would be coming from out of country, no income in last 12 months, no English speaking landlords, only staying for ~4 months.

What are other founders doing?

How can this be done cheaply without burning all of the YC angel capital?

What neighborhoods / areas and housing types are visiting founders doing when their cofounder already has a place with family (wife, children, etc. dont want to interfere)
You can switch background scanning off in Android. If Google respects that setting is another question altogether though.

I still have a real soft-spot for the Phantom, as a kid growing up the RAAF used them (along with the F-111's). I remember seeing one pass overhead pretty low while we were out on the boat fishing, and immediately made me want to go down an air force career.

Then I went blind and decided if I couldn't fly a jet, then meh, I'd do something different.
Are you actually getting a perfect surface finish that way? My Phrozen Make printing at 20 microns leaves noticeable lines and definitely requires cleanup around support attachment points. I tried doing the second dipping method and ended up with melty details on finer parts of prints. The only thing I haven't tried is sandblasting.
Selling clothes, food, and insurances over the internet is big in Berlin nowadays. All "machine learning" - the user asks for shoes and gets a clown outfit, annual subscription to a local sushi place, and everything is fully insured in case of failure of German pension system. Positioning in Google search results is booming also.

I was going to suggest that yogthos may just be thinking of that one guy who converted from clojure to haskell and had a convert's typical evangelical zeal in #clojure, but then I read your reply. Ironic.
I've taken to not using a screen within about an hour of going to bed, and never using the phone in the bedroom (because of association), and my sleep is much better - I fall asleep quicker, and study asleep longer. I tested the opposite on myself previously (intentionally using the phone in bed right up to lights out), and took longer to get to sleep, and woke up around 4-5am feeling not very rested.

Smartphones are the devil.
IMO this is very bad to release as a news article.

> ...he could simply replay legitimate unlocking commands, which had much the same effect. ... And he could prevent legitimate Google employees from opening doors.

This is script-kiddie material. You don't even need the mental chops to reverse the encryption being used, you can just quietly sniff the corporate LAN and you're done.

> Tomaschik also discovered he could do all this without any record of his actions.

The obvious interpretation of this is that, if there's any logging at all, it's being done at a higher level. But I realized this might also mean that the locks communicate via UDP broadcast packets, which explains why this person was able to do this research in situ.

> ... problems likely remain for others using the vulnerable Software House tech. Tomaschik said Software House had come up with solutions to fix the problem, though to switch to TLS, it’d require a change of hardware at the customer site. That’s because the Software House systems didn’t have enough memory to cope with the installation of new firmware, Tomaschik said.

The reason I think this is bad to discuss is that infrastructure like this is generally installed and expected to work for years. Obviously a bunch of sites have quietly upgraded to the v2 boards that now do TLS (yay, capitalism...?), but many many more won't. Indeed, as of the time the article was printed, even Google hadn't yet!! See:

> Meanwhile, Google has segmented its network in order to provide protection for the vulnerable systems still in its properties, the spokesperson added.

I expect they'll be upgraded soon enough, and that VLANing building infra was something netops could just do immediately.

But what about all the sites that aren't told? They'll surely all be high-value targets, if I presume that Google are going to use systems appropriate for high-value enterprises.

I guess my (unanswerable?) question now is what kind of contract wording is used to stipulate security updates and full disclosure to clients.
How We Build a Multimillion Dollar AI for Indonesia
I am floating on a planet made almost entirely of water, about 70-73f, small waves, nothing extreme. Very fine sand alternating with course sand, in about 2-3 feet of water. Overhead is something that looks like the milky way but isn't. The water is very buoyant and sand is close, there is no fear of drowning or predators. The stars are so close, it feels like you are voyaging through space.

What's ridiculous is this argument. Why can't you just admit that they both said terrible things that clearly violated Twitter's policies, and for that, both of them should have been thrown off the platform? You're essentially saying that what she said was OK. You're tacitly endorsing her statements, many of which were incredibly vile.

So, this discussion is over, since I refuse to engage with people that endorse racists or racist statements of any kind. Have a nice life.
First, I'm generally skeptical that "the market" is accurately pricing the value of work produced by either postdocs or federal mail carriers.

Second, a postdoc is still a training position. Medical residents are also not paid much better than mail carriers either.

Third, postdocs select for two types of people: those who want R1 professorships and those who need a position to stay in the country. Both of those groups drive down wages. I.e., it's sort of meaningless to compare a group of people who are working for the money to a group of people who are working for a shot at a seat in the upper tier of a tournament-style profession.

Fourth, both annual and lifetime earnings of PhD holders (at least in STEM) continue to outperform high school graduates (including mail carriers).

There's an oversupply of people interested in R1 faculty positions, but that doesn't mean there's a oversupply of phds per se. The labor market seems to absorb these people quite readily and at apparently high salaries as soon as they decide to quit academia.
EU stipulates immediate Open Access in 2020
Doubt it, maybe for US residents? When I did my first purchase my address didn't match because I was officially living at my parents but sent the package to my own address.

You make it sound like this is difficult or rare, yet banks have a very lax attitude about this and consequently funds thieves with billions upon billions every year. Somehow it is worth it, relying on the victims to scan their transaction history for errors (talk about convenient!).

It takes experience to get a sense of where to spend that time. There are parts in any project that are write only fluff that will not be changed or extended much once written. Then there are the others where you know that things will need to grow and change a lot. There, it is incredibly important to find a good starting point fron which the code can grow with as little pain as possible. A day or two to find the right approaches there can pay off nicely.
I generally agree with your sentiment. But To be fair, the linked article about the scientific part of the supermom actually takes a very critical look at the scientific studies.

Also applying the principle of charity [1], you could think of it this way:
the author looked at some studies, did a field trip. Now she tries an experiment at home and reports on it. She does not claim to present any rigorous scientific findings.

Networks have locations. Cell towers, wifi hotspots, corporate routers, etc. Not hard to get a location as long as there is network traffic.

Google analytics does know the same user across sites and devices but this is of course not exposed to the site, it's used by Google for ad targeting.

Browser fingerprinting is not necessary because people log in (to apps and sites) and will never be possible to fully reduce unless Apple can somehow make identical computer chips down to the atom.

Apple's cookie war also only helps Facebook and Google who maintain active 1st party cookies with every user, and meanwhile hurts all the independent networks and publishers who have to get people to keep logging in. This is why it helps to actually have some adtech expertise and industry cooperation instead of creating silly browser rules and turning Safari into the new IE.
Makes sense, thanks for indulging my nosiness!

Possibly depends what you mean by "API", but I really like the SQLite documentation with its graphical representations of the query syntax.
Or you just fail due to your own miss-management more than just once, and learn that structure is not for the boss but for you, yourself. Happens more often when the style of abstraction is restricted for performance reasons (i.e., no java-like OO and so) and you fall on something like buffer mismatch like I once did (to e fair, it was a bug that repeatably depended on the presence of explicit synchronization calls and there was no documentation about that possibly changing anything).

This reminds me of the Kiwi skit with the water police going around making people turn on their sprinklers and spigots so the country didn't flood.
This is fantastic news for science! Google Translate is pretty accurate [1], but a summary:

The EU, European Research Council, and funders from eleven European countries, have agreed that from 2020, European researchers can, in the general case, no longer publish their research in journals that

- place that work behind a paywall for a certain amount of time (embargoes)

- require a transfer of copyright to that journal

- charge excessive publishing fees ("Article Processing Charges")

Furthermore, from 2021 (due to existing licensing agreements), European researchers are generally no longer allowed to publish in journals that are not fully open access ("hybrid journals"). That includes e.g. Science and Nature, unless they change their business models.

Some exceptions apply, e.g. when doing industry collaborations, or for monographs. Overall, though, this appears to be a great step forward.

More details in the official announcement [2].

Yes, it is really really like really painful when it comes to a long distance relationship.
I can speak from my own experience because we were together in the same city for almost 4.5 years of our relationship. Now, I have moved to some other location. We are totally not happy with it. It has been almost 2 month we didn't meet for the first time in last 8 years and 4.5 years of our relationship. We want to find a solution as it is affecting our happiness.

I asked for a visible far-left figure that you thought ought to be banned, and I'm saying you haven't found an equivalent to Alex Jones.

I am not endorsing what she said, I simply don't care about it. I'm white. At least, by later definitions of white. By Huxley's original definition my Scottish ethnicity doesn't qualify :)

I have a lot of sympathy for the parents of dead children though.

I hope you learned something. Bye!

I've heard good things about Dublin. Anyone here on HN able to speak from direct experience?

Personally live in Seattle and love it, but I got in before the major boom and it is not nearly as affordable as 5-10 years ago. Still think it is a major upgrade to SF, though.
It isn't really implicit, it is just a shorthand, new is short for new-session and attach for attach-session. The alias for list-sessions is "ls" not "list".

I don't know why you would say -s shouldn't be required. Are you suggesting that "tmux new -sname command" should be something like "tmux new -ccommand name" instead?

The intent of -t is that it works much the same for all commands.

Of course you need to read the manual for anything more than the very basics, but tmux is hardly unique in that. Vim is hardly intuitive in any way.
I can also recommend white noise machines: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-white-noise-machine/
Also, 45 minutes out of the city core (light traffic) gets real affordable compared to in-city.

If you can bus or commute off-hours it can work.
