Do you honestly hold that opinion, or did you think you were on reddit?

Cities in California (re)assess property values just like they do everywhere else. Go buy a house there and tell me that your assessed value is about right for a house in 1958.
I was going to say a similar thing:

Almost looks like the foundations/pilings sunk on the one side, causing the concrete to fracture at the support points since it was being "bent" and then the slabs to fall off of the support once it had sunk enough. Kinda like this brick domino video [0], but with much larger slabs.

Thomas Ptacek, who is in the security community, expatiates on this in a sibling thread. It’s a good read, and I think it answers your question , which I didn’t know I shared :)

As a rule of thumb, people trying to sell you a thing are unlikely to give you extra time past the "I need to buy this" impulse to decide not to buy it.
There are folks who would get in to competing with their own direct reports or would be very harsh for what the conceive as mistakes leaving little room for alternative thinking and options. I think these type of folks are not the best cut out for management without further coaching and reflection. However solution is never shutdown the coding for managers or make them as technically as dumb as possible.
When to work: How to optimize your daily schedule for energy, motivation, focus
I avoided ios 11x entirely due to performance concerns and it looks like I may update to 12 because it's reversed most of the slowdowns.
This is an almost uniquely American point of view.

To obtain this freedom you must :
1. Get a license and learn to drive
2. Buy or lease a large, rarely utilised machine
3. Keep it maintained
4. Keep it fuelled
5. Ensure your tax dollars are spent on enormous infrastructure projects
6. Continue paying for the maintenance of said infrastructure
7. Undergo the significant risk of getting in a vehicle, and impose higher risks on all those around you
8. Pollute the air around you with fumes
9. Warp the development of all living spaces around you to suit your convenience, regardless of cost or benefit

Your freedom sounds like my tyranny.
Sure, but how many of those techniques involve intentionally damaging the opponent's sword? The emphasis in what you said lies on "and counterattack simultaneously". If you overcommit into a block enough to damage the opponent's weapon, you won't be able to counterattack.

The reason the 5lb sword still moves swiftly is that it's not used for a Hollywood cleave.
This is a reasonable point. The main benefit of this approach is that it centralizes the whole process (meaning, gives it a single Api) without making any one entity dependent on another entity for business critical functionality.

The issue with digital signatures is that if you're using it to verify physical goods then you have to have to store the digital signature somehow, either email it, print it out, etc and deliver it to the one who's accepting the notarized document. That person will still need to somehow get that signature, obtain the notary's public key, and verify the siganture. And if there are more than one agencies who's documents an organization accepts (think of embassies wanting notarized photocopies of passports from various countries) then that's a lot of systems you have to integrate with.

This blockchain approach simplifies that without requiring all these embassies/organizations to use a service offered by a single company.
Ideally, deadlines and scope are negotiated continuously as the pressure on typical team is constant and as there is constant flow of incoming requirements. Being unprepared means higher chance of crunch or buggy releases (as team cant cope with what becomes expectation).

Same with priorities. Those are not just for employees, but also for people outside the team. When you are asked about priorities and future, it is best to have reasonable answer at that time - not two weeks later when you finally reactively done reading and thinking.

Employees often dont really ask about priorities. They assume priorities based on their previous experience/opinions, everyone different which leads to misunderstandings and waste of time. You have to sync them before they ask.

If the primary role of manager is to constantly react at suddenly appearing problems, then the company needs more planning and more organization. Those suddenly appearing problems are consequence of chaotic environment. Good manager reorganize so that they don't appear anymore or looks for them before they grow big and sudden.
In this context it'd be more prudent to use the full "cryptocurrency" though, and not use the "crypto" shortening at all.
I've been using iOS since the iPhone first came out and never knew about this feature. Thanks for the hint!
Except that UBI is/was supported by realllly savvy economists. Like Milton Friedman.

A similar argument could be made about public spending on education, that it only creates inflation. But of course education is a great way to increase productivity. Similar effects would probably follow from universal healthcare and a UBI: namely healthy, financially secure people can do things that have short-term costs but long-term benefits, like starting a new business, or doing a low-paid internship, learning new skills, and so on. Also, fewer sick-hours leads directly to increased productivity.
You seem to be implying that white people with dreadlocks are somehow committing cultural appropriation.

Otherwise I agree with your overall perspective.
I feel like we should at least exclude people under 18. We can then, in addition, account for couples, and perhaps even prisoners/institutionalized, college kids, the military, and so on.

There was the EU wide poll wether or not to keep DST. Roughly 80% voted in favor of abandoning DST.

Can someone enlighten me what happened just now and what will happen next? EU Commissioner for Transport Violeta Bulc made some announcement, but did the commission vote/decide on the matter just now? (If not, what is the news in the article?) What are the next steps?
This statement pretty well epitomizes everything that's wrong with politics in the US.
All it needs now is a solid blockchain. Vechain could be one perhaps.
What? You can make money by charging people for it. Don't want to pay for newspapers for example? Without ads you can either pay up directly or not enjoy the publication.

I don't understand where this entitlement for free stuff comes from.
This is an article from an antievolution, pro-intelligent design, 'science news' website, run by the Discovery Institute. It is promoting a paper from their own journal.

It was not peer-reviewed. And was created and funded based on ideological presuppositions.

Meanwhile in the real-world, it has long been known that the evolutionary tree is a graph. But the degree of lateral gene transfer is typically thought to be small. Even more so for more complex taxa. (Perhaps more common in bacteria, for example).

Please don't confuse this website or paper with science. The author would need to do a lot more work in a very different intellectual context to make it so.
If the majority starts doing something then they'll stop discriminating against everybody else for doing it, so that sounds like a net positive. Cultural appropriation is a good thing because it dissolves the boundary of unfamiliarity.
Can't agree more. In the early days IT was a science. Now it's a playground.
The OP article specifically writes

> These disappointing results have required evolutionists to devise several ad hoc mechanisms to explain the ubiquitous inconsistencies. Examples include lateral gene transfer (LGT), differential gene loss, and convergent evolution. Yet, the widescale appeal to LGT has been seriously questioned.

LGT is a synonym for HGT. I'm not sure why the article brings this up, since the model (DAG vs tree) and the mechanical implementation (LGT, etc.) are different things. The need for a mechanical explanation (defined by observation) does not change with a new model (also defined by observation). That said, new models can provide the right mental states to speed up discovery of correct mechanisms, so this work may have some significance, but it will be impossible to tell a priori.
So where are you from?

IMO it's no small wonder that AI look and feel human to us. As a heuristic we've prematurely discarded all the ones that don't.
I more or less trust the maintainers of dpkg and similar can figure it out or have someone point it out to them.

My own shell scripts are maybe more iffy, as I am not myself an expert, but my personal use doesn't see wide distribution.
Sigh.

The differences are manifold. Start with the purpose - modern government exists to serve all of society, which it mostly does. The mafia exists to serve the mafia, although it can be incidentally generous with the public. The social contract between the public and the government is that revenue the government takes in through taxes is spent on things that help the public - schools, roads, emergency services, etc. The public has substantial if indirect influence on this balance, via elections. Of course, some people won't be happy with the arrangement, but the majority are generally satisfied.

Additionally, modern government functions in part by a monopoly on the use of violence, which we agree to as part of the social contract. Individuals who refuse to participate in the social contract are subject to government violence, whether they're not paying their taxes, or shooting their neighbors. As part of the contract, the government is not to abuse that monopoly on violence at a large enough scale that most of the public feels threatened by government itself.

Et cetera.
Seems like a more game theory correct response for China is to not copy Trump dollar for dollar, but maybe 50% of that, dollar for 50 cents.

Game theory has much more merit for a country like China given the (lack of) election cycle.
Any Internet-connected device is, in fact, a server, and must be seen and managed as one. This means strict control of installed services and, first and foremost, regular updates of all its software components (including firmware). If you acquire and install such a server which either can’t be updated or one which you know, realistically, won’t get any updates six months after installation, that’s asking to lose.
The very first reason listed.
Not because they can't though. Because they think they can't. Most cities in the US could do this with some adjustments to public transit, and by managing regional transit much better - for example it's insane that the default for suburban rail line stations is the "park and ride" - huge parking lot surrounding the train station, rather than using that area for residential development close to transit.
Tencent Announces Open AI Platform AI.QQ.COM
The manufacturing ecosystem in Shenzhen (for example) is unique. Any individual element of it is probably replaceable (at a considerable cost), but the presence of all those elements in the same place is not.

The agglomeration benefits of this are HUGE, and losing them would introduce a thousand small frictions into the manufacturing process. Issues that can be sorted out in hours or days in Shenzhen (finding alternate suppliers, repairing specialized machinery, etc.) would take weeks or months anywhere else. That's for individual issues. A complex piece of equipment might have a dozen such issues while scaling and optimizing its manufacturing processes. In Shenzhen, this might cause a few weeks of delay. Anywhere else, the delay would be measured in years.

There are several other such manufacturing ecosystems in China; Shenzhen is just the one I'm more familiar with. Yes, the individual parts may be replaceable -- but the whole is significantly greater than the sum of its parts. Building replacement ecosystems elsewhere would take decades.

It took China roughly two decades to build this kind of ecosystem. Its primary resource for doing so was the ~4 million STEM graduates in produces every year. That's on par with the rest of the world put together. So don't underestimate the difficult of replicating this.
Sounds like a good way to get rid of all the conterfeit ones I got stuck with.
They could theoretically do that, but this would only work once, so it's not a sustainable economic strategy.
Announcing the HardenedBSD Foundation
I was there at about 10 years, now after 12 years I'm happy again because I realized that when I was happy it was because I was ignoring the corporate politics, the unfair promotions and the bad work ethics. Now I learned to be vocal about it when it impacts me and delegate the responsibility of fixing it or giving feedback, and ignore it when it doesn't affect me... maybe give a heads up there, like, "hey maybe they are just spewing bullshit to keep you busy and really need to solve some issue between them! be careful!" and then get back to what I need to do.

Yes my work now as senior whatever or whatever whatever manager is not as easy as Jr. Sysadmin, but it's rewarding if the organization is functional, once I learn the ins and outs and after figuring out what to worry about and what to not worry about.
I was responding to your statement: "Think of them as a private business when it comes to financials." A private business would be able to set the cost of its services.
Taken charitably, it's shorthand for "talk to your actual investment adviser before doing this, please."
What the actual fuck? Why are you still working for them?
I got started by using an organization's API on a platform they didn't support and then offering to be a contractor when they sent me a cease and desist.

I found other odd dev work through family friends and by making a well-performing app for a small platform. This was all a nice supplement during university and internships, but not enough to compete with full-time remote work.
I find that article uncompelling. Cory Doctorow makes some pretty bold statements that appear to be at odds with the directive as I read it. Some of it feels like wilful misinterpretation.
Yeah, I feel the same way.

What hurts is when you decide to switch to another company, which has good rep, and finally find out: it's the same. Everywhere.
After the big bosses do stupid shit, they get promoted elsewhere, leaves you fix the broken plates, rince and repeat until a merger, bankruptcy, or major reorg.
Meanwhile middle management gets bigger and everything gets slower. Good employees leave, bad one get promoted to middle management, and you wonder why you're stupid enough to stay there.
Google translate seems to get the correct phrase so at least there's hope.

Well, I meant randomly in a sense that you can hardly predict or control what will happen. Of course it’s a determenistic algorithm, but engineers treat it as a black box.

Why do you need to reboot at all?
That’s what I was waiting to hear. My iphone 6s went from “this is the most amazing phone” to “I need to change phone” because of the last upgrades. I was waiting for this.
The difference between a protection racket and the government is that the government actually protects you. If your government vanishes or stops performing the protection, another neighboring government will happily annex your state.
I started freelancing a few months ago, what I did to land my first gig was:

- Specialize in something during normal employment (Python backend/cloud infra).

- Build and contribute to a few Open Source projects. Thanks to that I have a small portfolio to show to potential clients.

- Use an agency to help me find clients. Since I didn't really know where to start I looked for advice. An old HN thread mentioned Toptal so I registered without really thinking it would work. After a quite long interview process I got into the platform and landed my first customer a few days after. Overall it is a positive experience and a good way to get started, but other HN comments are more nuanced so YMMV.
Introducing the VOiCES Dataset
To add to the other two responses: I can't find it, but there was a great post on HN about how if you are a lawyer, it is important that you never create as much as an impression that you are giving someone legal advice in your capacity as a lawyer, because it can create liabilities. No exchange of money, no contract required.

I don't know if investing is the same, but that's the answer for lawyers.

I'm on a 6+, and the performance is a significant step up (more so than going from a degraded battery to a new battery sometime after the iOS 11 thing). It wedges me somewhat between a rock and a hard place; I'm getting the grey bar of death (https://ifixit.org/blog/8309/iphone-6-plus-gray-flicker-touc...), so really want to replace the phone... but the performance is back to where I wouldn't otherwise bother.

Ask HN: Best explanation or tutorial of Kanban?
People swear by Trello and Kanban-style project management seems to be preferred. In the Heinlein sense of the word, I don't seem to "grok" Kanban, so I think I must be missing something. I'm not sure how columns of cards really helps manage a project, rather than the Gantt concept, which is "this stage" takes "this long". Can someone point me towards a good resource that explains how Kanban truly manages projects and why it's popular?
I'm not a fan of a cliff at 130k. I think that's stupid. It should be an (algorithmic) sliding scale based on socioeconomic factors.
The "conventional simple tree" is just a depiction of data put into visual representation easy for humans to understand.

On the lineage of species, the actual heritage and relationship through evolution is more of an acyclic graph. We just have species that we know fill the gap between other species enough to know that a tree is the simplest way to depict evolution over billions of years, just like a tree may depict a family genealogy or family tree but even then we know its not all linear because humans have married between families and been incestuous at times.
Interesting! What really intrigues me is how very familiar, at a very very hindbrain level, this layout is to me. If someone asked me to sketch a generic kitchen, I would certainly draw something recognisably similar. Sets me wondering how much else that fades into the scenery day-to-day in the modern world has its origin in someone's deliberate design.
I vividly remember walking into my high school computer lab to find our PDP-11/34A partially disemboweled and someone hunched over the guts of the machine. An update tape from Digital required wire wrap changes which were included in the release notes.
Thank you! I didn't know about that.

Sounds awesome, if you ask me. As a kid, I didn't care in the slightest what the world was like in the morning, but getting home from school in the dark made for pretty tiresome winters.

I think the children were used as an excuse to push something the legislators wanted yet again.
Extra money does not help school quality much. School quality, I think (someone on the internet who lives with a teacher), is determined: first the qualities of the students at the school, second the quality of the student's parents, third the quality of the teachers and school admin, fourth the quality of the school's infrastructure and equipment. You can greatly influence the last with money and the third somewhat with higher salaries, but not so much the first or the second.

Say you took any poorly scored school and decided to create two schools from the student body. Same funding per child. Children whose parents come to a signup night for the new school get to go to the new school. The rest stay in the old school. The academic results from these two schools will be very different, just by this simple sorting. Money and better teachers help, but so far applying them from the outside doesn't seem to move the needle much.

Right, agreed, the Reddit redesign is just bad. But the fact that probably 99+% of any UI/UX changes result in an uproarious outcry from users, even when it's not bad, probably results in these outcries simply being ignored.
Disagree... Chrome replaced IE. Firefox is trying to get back the users it has lost over the years. We're really at the same two player matchup (with a similar underlying engine).

I'm currently on Quantum after having given up on Firefox for a couple of years. The differences between the old and new Firefox have won me over again.

If there is a war, it is a search engine and ecosystem war. The search engine is now hidden behind voices like Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana. The ecosystem, hidden behind app stores and closed hardware devices.
Non-malicious startup idea: What if you bought houses in bad school area, created a great private/charter school in that area and sold your houses at much higher price? From OP's calculation, a great school may cause at least $200K price increase per house and depending on capacity of the school you need to build, I think this can turn out to be pretty good business.
I wonder, would another language serve better as a "pivot", all else equal (like, let's ignore corpus size)? English is both a wonderfully expressive but also frustrating language because of its vocabulary's flexibility, ambiguity, and adaptability.
Further: the Amazon 'CreateSpace' self-publishing contract is apparently non-exclusive.

If any traditional publisher wanted to offer an edition of this book – which is now award-nominated! – they could make the author an offer.

These bookshops thus have a sort of 'Stockholm Syndrome', identifying with the traditional publishers on whom they have become overly-dependent, and whose disinterest in this apparently-meritorious book has created the problem for the bookshops.
