There are a lot of "gotchas" with CSS. The only thing I used books for was to read about how other people organized their stylesheets. Other than that, doing it day in and day out for years was how I ended up learning.

People will design all sorts of stuff that requires some creative problem solving with the tools CSS gives you. If I see something interesting on a site, I'll open inspector and see how they did it. That's usually how I learn new tricks. That and by experimenting on my own. As far as not having to use trial and error, that just takes practice. I'll go for 3 years making sites that all look the same, then tastes change and I have to go through trial and error again figuring out the best way to do something new until I've done it so many times I don't even need to look at the screen when coding anymore.
What Makes a Waif?
You may be getting down voted, but you're right that the last several years of fear, uncertainty, and doubt has been shown to have been bullshit in having not panned out.

Meanwhile, the last several years of warnings about climate change have been shown to be a true warning. My mother had to evacuate from a fire. A friend has had their city flooded. A different friends home was damaged by a hurricane. I've been begged on the street for a drink during a heat wave.
The Rest of the World has never been a funding source for the U.S. It's impossible, because to purchase a treasury, the Rest of the World must first obtain dollar from an American, which decreases our income. Then, they purchase the treasury instead of the american. If someone grabs your wallet and then buys a share of stock with the money inside, they aren't funding the stock market and you don't need to be grateful to them.
> Trade and manufacturing from cheap, and some say abusive, labor practices have done nothing to improve human rights for China

Your comments were narrow — you only cited “human rights”, which yes, China is abysmal. But what about quality of life in general? My understanding is that QOL has gone up dramatically in China.
Anecdotes aren't data but everyone I've talked to about this subject in the states is either ambivalent or tired of DST and would not miss it. It's just that in order to make the switch, the whole country has to commit together for it to not be a pain, and that's a big lift for something that the public thinks about twice a year. It'd take some current event or an extended public campaign plus momentum to get over the hump.
you're an adult, you'll live. i still remember how as kids we hated walking to school when it was all dark in the morning. end of summer time was a blessing. so if we really do away with dst i really hope we go for standard time.
GDPR is absolutely not the shining beacon of success.
Let's review at some glaring, obvious and 100%-lets-make-this-law-shite points:

1. Application and enforcement: GDPR is 100% arbitrarily enforced, it is a "trust us, we could do no harm, trust us" law, that is extremely well suited to adding other such "trust us" laws.

2. Absolutely ridiculous overreach: on a technical level, GDPR is braindead. It applies ridiculous, stupid and unnecessary restrictions for no purpose.

3. You just added an obligatory "lol accept this or GTFO" thing to all sites.

Yep, write all of your lower level components in C to run on PICs (or HDL on FPGAs, either way you get high reliability) and have those interface with larger systems that run higher level software to display sensor data and offer a control panel to command the actuators in the system. Just like in a car, the collision detector runs fast low level C but it feeds data over CANbus back to the ECU which is probably running an RTOS and sends that sensor data to the head unit which probably runs some sort of Linux-flavor to blink an icon on the reverse camera video feed.

Probably just a leftover law from the days when taking something from the land without permission was considered stealing from the lord who's land it was. If the law is not a direct leftover the precedent certainly is.
To a large extent the tariffs were imposed just before China traditionally started importing from Brazil, so for several months they had little effect on actual supply (a few ships did get turned away, but for the US it was slow season). Brazil has ended their shipments, and China is turning to other countries which are selling at inflated prices and then buying from the US.

Don't paint the above as good for the US - things are bad for farmers, they are selling below what the cost would have been. I'm pointing out that the picture is (as always) complex.

Basically, infrastructure == progress to a LOT of poorly informed communities who don't bother factoring in maintenance costs or look at the actual economics of building huge roads through their main street.

Throw in a dash of pork-barrel spending and lobbying to secure funding to build more roads for the hell of it and you have the US's current mad-max roads-to-fucking-nowhere infrastructure nightmare. It was all a big experiment where everyone but the guys getting paid to build the roads lost.

No, the OP is actually correct. The origin of the term "white flight" was a phenomenon that that followed the "great migration" of people from the rural south during the war and immediate post war years in the US.[1][2]

>"The phrase "white flight" refers to a 1970s phenomenon ..."

No, the 1970s may have seen a recirculation of the original phrase but it is commonly understood that "white flight" refers to phenomenon around the war years.

For a lot of people, none of this is nearly good enough (let's do the math here: it takes a month+ to respond to a racist sub, but a new sub can be created instantly).

Simulation is nonanalytical way to model complex phenomena and try to understand dynamics of it. Just like purely analytic mathiness, the main benefit is that others can point errors and omissions. Peter Norvig does it too: https://github.com/norvig/pytudes/blob/master/ipynb/Economic...

He doesn’t come across as caring too much about anything except his ego.
In a sense AMP is the answer, produce less by having explicit limits while not throwing all tooling out. While AMP is somewhat more technically complex it's much simpler when you consider what it disallows.

However technology/solution is only tool, real problem is in the domain of users, how to make useful systems, how to make users care, technology is irrelevant for most of us.

1. In everyday conversation, it doesn't come up. Not that I hide the fact that I left early, but the natural conversation usually goes "when I was working at Google ..." not "When I was working at Google, which I left after only 8 months, ..."

2. Sometimes it does come up (including while interviewing for my current job), and someone will ask me why I left so soon. I just tell the truth, which is that I liked my coworkers and the perks but didn't particularly enjoy the big-company atmosphere. Most people I talk to working in startups can identify with that and don't hold it against me. Of course, if I had a string of several companies that I worked at for less than a year each, I'm sure that would be interpreted differently. But that's not the case.
The house is being listed at $21.8 million. That doesn't mean it's going to sell for that. There have been a number of stories recently about very expensive homes sitting on the market for years and having to be reduced in price substantially.

I'm not sure I understand all the comments comparing this RoR to the S&P or some other benchmark. S&P stocks are highly liquid, so the price you see is the actual price you can get at any given moment. Not so with housing. The actual selling price could be higher or much lower depending on who is ready, willing and able to make this purchase in the next few months.

Extremely one sided comments, with a US centric view. The world is not the US, and HN readers are not only US citizens, so let me express a different point of view.

Assumption: Trump wants fair trade. HN readers want fair trade.

What is needed: fair trading rules, fair IP rules, fair capital structures, and a fair currency.

Tackling some of the unfair trade practices does not address all those issues. In particular it does not address the services trade imbalances, the favouring of US IP holders (as incumbents and head starters), and the massive advantage that the dollar gives to the US economy.

And we have not yet started talking about the weaponizing of the dollar, which can be recently seen in the conflict with Iran.

All this to say that the US demands are not fair.

You can obviously pursue your interests, but you will not sell it as being a "fair" policy.

The Chinese, the Europeans, all countries have equally fair, if not fairer, demands, which must be respected.

The core of the problem is obviously that the initial assumption is false: Trump and HN do not want fairer trade, but trade one-sidedly beneffiting the US.

We will fight this policies, if needed at the personal level, by selectively consuming products according to country of manufacture.
"The masses" also don't care about, say, safety precautions their taxi drivers have to take. Until they're in an accident.
Make it a condition of employment. Vacation time is negotiable just like salary, and usually much easier to get than actual money.
That's actually the opposite of "pedantically" given that you're playing loose with the definition. Pedantically, shorting is selling a financial instrument you don't own, with the idea (though it is not a requirement to fit the definition) that you'll give it back later by buying at a price lower than it is now.

What you described is options trading, one method of which hedges against declines in stock price. Yeah, one could take a "short" position by buying puts, but it can be argued that a short position is not what puts were originally designed for. In contrast to short sellers who obviously intend for the price to go down, or they won't make any money.

I do question whether puts are the "more common way" given that they have an expiration. You can hold on to a short sell as long as you can pay the interest and the loaning party doesn't want their shares back.
I have no idea where I’m going, but I know how I’ll get there
Author has a great grasp of the market, and this simulation is pretty cool.

Another way to look at it is the house-price-to-income ratio, San Jose metro is the highest in the nation for individuals, #2 for households. [1]

Even better IMHO is price-to-rent ratio, which is the rental price of a home compared to the purchase ($360k home rented at $36k/yr is 10x). SV runs from 35x in SJ to 45x in SF (highest in the nation). Home values can't rise much above this unless income rises. [2]

Show HN: Keyboard Warrior – I built a speed typing game
Download: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/keyboard-warrior-speed-typin...

Hi everyone,

I built a speed typing game for iPhone inspired by the many desktop alternatives for testing your typing speeds.

The concept is quite simple. You have 60 seconds to type as many words as possible. After each word, hit the spacebar or next key to type the next word. You will know your WPM (Words per minute) and KPM (Keys per minute) once the time is over.

There are 7 levels in the game. The easy one consists of the top 250 most common english words. The hard level consists of 3000 most common words. The next difficult levels consist of capitalization, numbers, punctuations, random characters and so on. The game has a global leaderboard too where you can see where you rank.

I was inspired by someone's side-project on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/9ckogk/crazy_t...
and thought of building something similar for iOS.

Without further ado, I would love for you to try Keyboard Warrior:

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/keyboard-warrior-speed-typin...

Android app is also in development and planning on releasing sometime this week. Any questions and feedback are welcome!
>Do you need a license to just float down the river on an inflatable? Also, if I drop something into the water, is it now property of the trust? What a ridiculous governing body. The UK really loves licensing the shit out of everything.

It's a leftover sentiment from the days when taking anything of any usefulness or value from the land without permission was considered stealing from whatever lord or nobleman owned that land. Licensing for everything and everything is not considered abnormal when it's the status quo going back a thousand years. Society takes a long time to change things that are deeply ingrained like that.

edit: If there's an alternate explanation I'm all ears...
Whether it was or wasn't, there's no real reason not to think that each population transmitted diseases to the other, who lacked natural or acquired immunity.
Depends on how you measure inflation, but economic growth over the long term tends to be overstated.

Consider 2000 years ago people where producing beef. At 2% economic growth we would be producing 1.5 * 10^ 17 cows or something of equivalent value.

Further, many areas like Detroit have seen a reduction in land values over significant time periods.
Sorry, my bad. I just couldn't believe someone could be so dismissive of someone else's experience -- I wasn't sure if I was reading a genuine opinion or a parody. I guess I fell for that myself.

Us old timers remember what was happening at the time. It turns out it was an incredible deal for both sides.

The 1-click patent didn't have a great deal of credibility at the time. Many people in the tech industry were railing against Amazon and 1-click. It seemed like such a stupid patent and I think a lot of people didn't expect it to hold up.

Apple launched the iTunes store with $0.99 mp3's during the same period and the whole thing hinged on 1-click shopping. You could click a button to preview and there was one right next to it that would buy the song. No confirmation screens or checkout process. Downloaded and added to your library. It was so easy and people were spending a fortune on there because there was nothing else like it. Keep in mind this is one the heels of the decline of Napster and other mainstream P2P apps. People were being ratted out by their ISPs, sued and settling for $3000 for downloading some crummy song. Here you could do it legally and inexpensively and with a great UX because of 1-click. And for the first time you could buy a single song instead of an entire album. Prior to that, we had "singles" that contained a radio song from the album and a couple b-sides for like $5-8.

Apple had to launch iTunes with 1-click for it to be successful. The $1M license fee cost far less than the inevitable lawsuit would have. They made a fortune with iTunes and used it to enter new product categories. You could argue that that was one of the pivotal moments that transformed the company into what it is today. That licensing fee was highway robbery.

You also have Amazon who, at the time, had an outstanding selection, the best prices, fast handling times, reliable shipping and the most friction free buying process anywhere. Many retail sites didn't even have user accounts back then. You would enter your info with each order. The ones that did have accounts still made you click through several screens to place an order.

Amazon's end of the deal is they got paid $1M to not have to sue anyone (and possible lose) and have their ridiculous patent become credible overnight. The result was they maintained their superior online shopping experience by preventing others from mimicking it and leveraged it to become the beast they are today.

No, not the author, sorry for any confusion.

I can't say it's always clear when it's malice or sloppiness, but I can usually "smell" an agenda, and the chart doesn't even really seem to be the key lynchpin for arguing that agenda, just the most visible aspect. I'll grant that the author didn't use nearly as much data as I would have liked, but that's why I hope there can be a conversation.

(To make this more substantive, a typical comparison is a side by side charting of labor productivity vs labor share of wealth, I just found the "stock ownership" angle to be another interesting datapoint)
