Agreed. "Compensation-driven thinking" may not be the best choice of words. Money is always a touchy subject.

I read parent's comment to be more about highlighting the expectations mismatch that occurs sometimes when candidates aren't willing to make compromises and then blame the startup for being "too stingy".

I've seen this mismatch occur on both sides of the table. Startups have a harder time hiring due to as they need to seek people willing to forgo direct compensation in exchange for these harder-to-value benefits. Startups need to stay self-aware they'll have a harder time hiring since the candidate pool is smaller.

Candidates applying to startups also need to temper their salary expectations. If you want to join a startup, especially pre-Series C, and you're not willing to compromise on direct compensation, then prepare for a harder time. The employer pool is much smaller and you're not likely to get the most out of working at a startup if salary is a top priority.
When you're young, I don't think there is much of anything you can do.

When you're working in a career, this is what I think helps you weather storms:

1) Have a basic understanding of finance. Understand stuff like APR, adjustable rates, compounding interest, 401ks, IRAs, ETFs, index funds, etc.

2) Build an emergency fund.

3) Never invest money you're going to need in <5 years. That means you'll have cash in hand, that also means you might have a lot of cash in hand if you're saving for a down payment on a house or saving for a car. You're giving up possible returns but in turn gaining security.

4) Live below your means. That might mean trade offs, learn what the best way to spend your money is for you, it will be different for everyone. (If your living below your means and are happy don't let others tell you you are spending your money "wrong.")

5) Work to reduce your debt. Try to work towards paying cash for most purchases. A lot of unaffordable things look affordable when you only look at monthly payments. That being said, debt can be a useful tool when used properly.

6) Insure everything that you need to insure, but don't over insure.

7) Don't treat the house you live in as an investment, unless it's a multifamily home you're going to rent out the other unit(s), it's an expense. Houses have some magical money sucking abilities.

8) Never let other people push you into homeownership, it should be something you want to do.

9) Build strong interpersonal relationships.

10) Practice radical acceptance. Let go of fighting reality. Accept your situation for what it is. When you fight reality you turn pain into suffering.

Disclaimer, this is just my opinion.
There are two reasons I'm still with Google for mail at this point: Inertia, and cost. The former is pretty easy to understand. The latter has more to do with the fact that I have a private domain for our family and I've been using Google Apps since the days when it was free. If I want to convert to another service like ProtonMail then I'm either going to tell a bunch of people in my family to pay up (with all the accompanying annoyances), or I pay $50+/year on their behalf out of my own pocket. And in either case I probably get to move their email for them. It's hard to get up the enthusiasm to do any of that, even if I do have a growing desire to disconnect from Google.

I haven't done any thorough searching recently, but if I could find a reputable provider that had a reasonable family-priced solution that would be ideal. The per-account pricing adds up relatively quickly.

Of course, but that's me saying that as a shorthand. I'm referring to the actual definitions in practice. I would hope they don't say "for technical reasons" and leave it at that.

Steven Pinker talks about the root causes for this in Better Angels of Our Nature. He argues that crime has been trending steadily downward for centuries. There was a blip of increasing crime, at odds with the trends, that lasted from about the early 1960s to the late 1980s, and he offers some explanations for that blip. But in general, crime should continue to fall.

The US homocide rate has been dropping steadily since 1991, from 9.8 to about 4.5 today. (The post-WWII peak was 10.2 in 1980.) It stands to reason that a drop in juvenile crime would track the drop in adult violent crime.
iirc, icloud was written in sproutcore. version 2 of sproutcoure became ember which is now in version 3. there was no upgrade path from sproutcore 1 to ember, so likely its a case of needing a rewrite and that not being prioritized.
"Tough on Crime" is no longer en vogue in most parts of the US.

That likely has a huge impact.
They are only allowed to contradict state laws to the extent that the federal government may decide it's not worth it to try and enforce the rules in the state, especially states like CA where they state that they won't cooperate with enforcement of laws they don't agree with. Even if the state someone lives in has contradictory laws, you still have to follow the federal laws at any job that cares about that. For example, if you live in a state that has legalized recreational or medical marijuana, you still can't use it if you want to work a federal job or anything that requires a security clearance.
I think comparing anything in this conversation to feudalism is an empty rhetorical device. A metaphor or analogy can be useful when it motivates a proposed solution or underlying cause, but in this case it's being used as a vacuous claim in order to create a sense of guilt by association -- "hey, this thing is like feudalism, and therefore bad, because feudalism is bad".

Complexity and Strategy (2017)
Scope and distribution is a good point, and I'm not trying to say that this is an issue that routinely affects elections (and if it is I would look at small local elections with tiny turnout), but it can't be disproven in the current system and this is a problem.

A system that ties each registered voter to a unique ID which is basically implemented for you if you require ID at the polls will have a false positive rate of ~0 much lower than our current system. This is actually a side benefit.
Given that Dr. Longo promotes a diet that contains some calorie intake (~500 daily), why did you decide on water only fast? I am trying to choose between those two options myself.
Thanks, I edited my last paragraph to say "welfare" instead of "food stamps"
The numbers were dropping long before the current wave of marijuana decriminalization.
I've been using the beta for a few months now. Overall I'm pretty impressed. It really does make my phone work better than before.

But I'm most excited about Waze support on CarPlay, which does not appear to have dropped today.
Oh come on, the Rigol is not a "garbage" scope! It is excellent at what it was designed to do and competitive in every way with similarly spec'd scopes from any other vendor.
Linear no-threshold actually maps fairly well to skin cancer which is a direct proxy. What differentiates things from a slap is each event is very energetic, and operates independently on each of your 30 trillion cells. Like shooting at random they mostly don't hit anyone, until the one just happens to be in the wrong pace.

At a lower level their are many systems that both cause and reduce the risks of cancer. However, over a lifetime the odds of getting cancer end up being fairly high and most people end up a single mutation away from cancer. At which point every even is just another roll of the dice.

Net result, observed results look rather linear.
If they do that, can California rewrite the law to distinguish between last mile service and transit service and regulate only the last mile part?

> If this hypothesis is true then you would think that the government in place would do everything they can to stop the far right/far left from rising from the ashes of the failed social safety net.

I don't think they can. When the mainstream messes up really badly, people turn to the fringe. The mainstream can try to hinder them, but can't really stop them by anything other than not messing up badly. Once something like 2008 has happened, it's already too late.
Only two choices seems like way too low of options. :/

Yes, we're definitely going to support formats other than Hollywood-style screenplays in the near future. Would be great to learn more about the needs for collaboration in book publishing.
How McDonald's Is Getting Ready for the 4th Industrial Revolution
For iCloud Drive, we should be able to manage which files are saved locally and which aren’t. As is, documents can be manually downloaded but there’s no way to reverse it and have the given documents stored back only in the cloud (freeing up local storage). Then magically a week or more later stuff is uploaded and no longer stored locally. It feels fickle and frustrating.
Personally, I'm unwilling to use a mail provider that does not offer standard IMAP and SMTP. So I use Fastmail. (And I've been using them since 2002. Is this what being a hipster feels like?)
This is awesome. We've been running an IPFS gateway at Origin for about a year and are huge fans of the technology. It's nice to see Cloudflare investing in decentralized technology despite contributing to the over-centralization of the web with their core business. There are quite a few public IPFS gateways available, but not all of them are broadly advertised. A few others that I know of:

ipfs.io

ipfs.infura.io

siderus.io

ipfs.jes.xxx

I’ve noticed that the Aspen Institute is a sink for these sort of individuals across a number of fields. So far as I can tell, it functions as a sort of a bullpen for talent at the political / economic interface for a number of large corporations. It certainly isn’t mission-driven or benevolent.
Given that

* "Approximately 70 percent of licensees are authorized to accumulate decommissioning funds over the operating life of their plants." ( https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/d... )

* at least some plants will be closed ahead of schedule (it's already starting) => not enough accumulated funds

* the effective decommission cost may be higher than planned (see the UK & Oyster cases)

... the Nuclear Waste Fund may prove useful as waste management is a non-neglectable part of a decommission.

Will all the available funds be sufficient?
Yeah big data seems to be a place where this absurdity is amplified. Everyone wants the same small handful of people with those qualifications and everyone is like 10x the number of people... and none of them want to budge on what they offer / will take.

In the meantime plenty of good folks out there willing to get into it, but naw they won't take them.

The Bradford Pear Fiasco
IPFS has a name resolution protocol, called IPNS. Conceptually it works similar to DNS. More advanced discovery protocols are being worked. The thing with IPFS though is that, because the raw identifier (not address) is the hash of the content, multiple nodes can serve the same content.

A key idea to to focus on de-centralization, so for example when you want a particular piece of content you could send a query out asking your known nodes for content with that hash, they then ask others, etc., propagating the request like gossip. Caching can make this more efficient. IPNS allows you to register your node as a provider of named content that has a given name. The biggest benefits of this are (1) that you can update the content (giving it a new hash) and people can still find it by name, and (2) most mere mortals can't remember hashes but names are much easier to remember.

A good introduction to IPFS can be found on HackerNoon, at https://hackernoon.com/a-beginners-guide-to-ipfs-20673fedd3f.

A good library to start with is Libp2p, https://github.com/libp2p

In the past 3 months I have setup accounts on all three of FastMail, HushMail, and ProtonMail. I was mainly interested in having an account with a custom domain. I used the domains I got through Amazon AWS Route53. ProtonMail was the only one I could not setup custom domain on. It would get stuck in the TXT field verification step. I contacted their support and they were not interested in helping me figure out what's going on. They just told me that was AWS problem and I needed to contact AWS support. I cancelled that account. I only used it for about 3 weeks, and my impression is that it was least polished (web UI and iOS app-wise) of the 3. FastMail was the best.

It stops most of them. You can buy data on the number to see if its VOIP, or a legitimate cell phone. There are even some data providers that tell you about the subscriber like how long they had service, if its prepaid, or recently forwarded/ported.
No one ever argues we should work more...

If both are valid possibilities, this suggests a selection bias regarding the arguments.
The case for digital minimalism
I once enjoyed a much better spinoff called something like "Pick Up The Pumpkin And Die" by one of the more prolific IF authors wherein you do just that, but become the headless horseman and run around terrorizing a highschool.
What were you searching for, if you don't mind sharing ?
"Tough on crime" was always a dog whistle to signal to (most) voters that politicians were willing to lock up minorities for comparably minor crimes. It's good to see that the winds have shifted towards a more just system although there is a long way to go.

I think there are many factors that contribute to this trend and would love to see a paper which goes into the details. I would bet that prosecutors have a lot to do with this. Prosecutors have so much power in our criminal justice system due to what charges they choose to bring forward.
The term "net neutrality" is so overloaded at this point it's useless. Removing posts, throttling bandwidth, ISP/IPX negotiations, ISP protocol/domain treatment, ISP data collection, are all wildly different concerns that should each have unique names. I associate the term with the ISP protocol/domain treatment concern, as in ISPs should never use Application Layer variables to choose preferred routing, blocking, bandwidth allotment, etc.
Can you explain 'spin up'?

Do you mean that its Power/battery intense?
I've been thinking along these lines as well. One of my dirty secrets is that I'm jealous of Rust's zero cost iterators. I want those in JS and Lua.

One way to get them is to write an interpreter for a specialized subset of the language, and generate traces for each part of your program that uses e.g. map and reduce. It seems possible to specialize the generated code so that the overhead is essentially zero cost, but I haven't thought about it deeply enough yet.

There must be a way to get Rust's zero cost abstractions without the steep penalty of static typing plus borrow checking annotations.
It's been a lond time, but I read that you can add specific suffixes to folder names to control syncing.

I think it was ".nosync" and ".tmp"
>I’ve recently moved to the greater Seattle area and where I live my choices for internet are Comcast and centurylink.

Me too. I moved last year away from flawless 100/100 with a local Seattle ISP, to flawless gigabit for $45 with a local Seattle ISP, and now I'm 5 or so miles south of Seattle and I had to settle with Comcast since Centurylink DSL was my only other choice. Seattle DOES have good ISP's, but only really new buildings & downtown get that luxury.

Comcast does give me good speeds and reliability so far however, for a reasonable price. I still dislike them, and the sign-up process as well as the spam calls I received for weeks were terrible. They tried to get me to sign up for 10 TV channels I already had on my antenna in higher quality so they could gouge me on their TV rental equipment fees.
Sure but SUVs in general sold like crazy, they had a few years to watch the rav4 sell extremely well, BMW came out with the M3 at the same time, and Mercedes was already making a ton of money selling luxury SUVs. I just don't see how this is a good example of price before product, or how much of a risk it was given what was happening in the market.
The default in Chrome and Firefox is 16px.
I think it stems from a logic fallacy that goes something like this:

If a GUI makes a program easier to use, then by using it, I am indicating that I am less technical.

It's not usually stated explicitly, but it's a pervasive attitude. IMHO, even highly technical users can benefit and be more productive from well thought out interface design. It's not like (most) grandmothers are suddenly going to use Visual Studio because it's got a GUI.
Revolving doors lead to corruption. Study after study have shown this. [1] The recent patent examiners study by the national bureau of economics research again confirms this. [2]

There is no basis to advocate status quo by setting up false choices and appeals to expertise in the face of overwhelming evidence.

The impact in the financial industry, telecom, pharma and literally any segment shows incredibly damaging consequences. This is simply too high a cost to pay for some people's feelings of how the world should work versus how it actually does.

I'd recommend as a 14-year-old that you try learning the fundamentals of a language, make a project in it, learn another language, make a project in that, repeat. Have fun. Don't torture yourself. If it's too hard put your best in it, but don't be your own jailer. At the end of the day we're all just using carefully arranged sand (this sentence stolen from xkcd).
Note there is a survivor bias here.

My understanding of Quantum Computers is that the first country to successfully develop quantum computers at scale will experience dominance in cryptography until other nation-state actors can catch up. Isn't quantum technology a national security threat then?

Seems we should be investing a tremendous amount into quantum computing research publicly.

The average card present transaction charge in Australia for scheme cards is less than 1.5%, even for small turnover merchants. With higher turnover businesses getting to about 1%.

Banks don’t need to charge 3% to deal with fraud. Merchant agreements effectively make it their responsibility to bear the brunt of any chargebacks anyway.
Anyone have any evidence that suggests this is because there are fewer juveniles that should be in prison, or if we're imprisoning more accurately, or there are more juvneiles that aren't in prison but should be?

There's a lot of nuance here and I haven't found any good data on what caused the change -- just political bloviation
I'll echo the sentiment with anecdata: In my most recent job search, I applied to ~5k jobs before getting hired via networking. I know the online ad-boards work less well than spam email, but I mostly used them as lead generation (HN who's hiring too, but that was near useless). Still, it was ~5k jobs that I matched with and applied for over about 14 months. I interviewed at <10 companies, and got 3 offers (not too bad!). The most serious offer was for ~90k on the Peninsula, no health insurance. Due to personal medical issues, that was a hard pass (pills are ~7k/mo w/o insurance)

On the rare chance that I got a rejection from an actual person, I'd email them with a 'resume bounty' request (like a bug bounty); $15 PayPal to tell me where I am going wrong in my applications (basically, I'd buy your lunch). No one took the cash, as they all'd just email me back saying that I was perfect, just that they already hired, I lacked 5 years in skills $XXXX$, I wasn't local, I was overqualified, yadda yadda yadda.

I've really tried to get into the mind of these companies and HR departments, but I can find no logic there. I've taken people at the larger companies in my sector out to lunch, coffee, beers, etc to pick their brains. The only thing I can think of that I have a black mark in some database or another that a lot of people use (credit is near perfect, references are a-ok, career path is a bit of a mess but what Millennial's isn't? ).

I've no idea what is going on.
This gave me chills. You have to wonder though, how these nightmarish, big companies continue to achieve success and grow. Maybe software engineering, however shoddy, is just not that hard to make good enough.
Apples and oranges. Polling costs nothing; ID costs money. Polling places are usually within walking distance of home (at least in urban areas); license bureaus are scattered and distant.

My polling place is two blocks from my house. I can walk there, vote, and be home in 20 minutes. Last time I had to renew my license, it was a three hour ordeal that cost me money and an afternoon of work, and the nearest station is miles from my house (in a dense city).
I don't know, I've watched the keynote, and it just looked to me like Allison was right in saying that the company without Steve Jobs would go down.

Pretty considerably and pretty quickly, too, IMO.
I was hoping to see some Siri improvements but unfortunately nothing major there.

I just went through our "Public IPFS Gateway Checker" and added a bunch of new ones (include the Cloudflare) one. You can see it running here: https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/

What is remarkable about it? That's what happens when you are selling a commodity. There is nothing to set yourself apart in the marketplace, so you have no choice but to sell at the same price as everyone else or decline sales until the market improves. RBOB is publicly traded commodity at that. It is not exactly a mystery to sellers what the market price is. The buyers literally publish what they are willing to pay and the sellers decide if they agree to it or not.

As a cash crop farmer, it is the same deal for us. We're told what the price is and it's a take it or leave it situation. We're growing commodities, so if I want more money than the customer is willing to spend, the buyer has no issue going to my neighbour who grows the exact same crops. It makes no difference to them. And thus, if I also want to sell at that time, I have no choice but to match every other farmer. If I offer an even lower price, every other farmer will have to match me if they want to sell.
